The reason why Nora said that dealing with Viscount Doropia's appearance this time was not dangerous is also very simple, because when she was testing the samples just now, she could clearly feel the power of the gods contained in them.
It comes from a certain evil god, and when the churches discover this, they will naturally send out enough people to take action. Lawrence and the others can easily harvest the favor as long as they fish in troubled waters.
The next day, Lawrence and the others went for a stroll in the city. As a resurrected ancient empire, although the history of the buildings is not long, the style adopted is quite antique, and they are also descendants of the western civilization of the old continent.
The White Eagle Federation is completely different. The architectural style is quite similar to that of the Xinzhou Republic in the northwest.
For example, both sides imitate the style of their ancient buildings through bas-reliefs and paintings on the walls. In addition, the roofs of these buildings all adopt ancient styles to highlight cultural heritage. Only
The only difference is that the Xinzhou Republic used cornices and brackets, while the Erysion Empire used onion domes and vaults.
In addition to architecture, the local food is also unique. Because the territory of the new empire is now far more fertile than the old empire, their diet has more fresh vegetables and fruits compared with the old empire. But in terms of the style of the dishes
The change is not big, it is still mainly based on various grilled and stewed foods.
For example, there are pizzas with spiced barbecue rolled in the middle, and there are staple foods that put rice, meat, onions, butter and various spices into hollowed out tomatoes or green peppers and bake them. There is also a staple food made with cheese and various colors.
Special salad made from local local vegetables.
"Compared with the White Eagle Federation, the food here can be called gourmet. As for the Federation, if we exclude the food from all over the world brought by immigrants from various countries, I don't think they can say that it is delicious.
None." During lunch, Nora elegantly wiped her oily mouth with a handkerchief after eating.
"Food culture requires two things." Lawrence didn't want to go back to the restaurant right after he had just finished eating, so he simply explained some of the knowledge to the little doll. "The first is that it must be rich enough, and at the same time, the whole country must be stable.
.Because only in this way will everyone have the energy to focus on making food more delicious.”
"It makes sense." Nora nodded. After all, if everyone is just busy surviving when they are hungry for a long time or barely fed, how can they have time to develop various cultures. After all, even if there are people with extraordinary power in this world
exists, but it is still true that the economic base determines the superstructure.
"On the other hand, from a historical perspective, it takes a long time to develop a food culture. It is difficult for countries like the White Eagle Federation to say that they have their own culture, so those who were there before
Most of the food we eat at that time came from other civilizations, and the rare local dishes like fish and chips or bread with meat can hardly be called a food culture."
"You are right. The only characteristic of the White Eagle Federation's unique diet is that it is relatively fast to prepare and eat. It is not so much a reflection of food culture. It is better to say that it was for satisfaction after the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution.
Food specially invented for the faster pace of life." Nora thought for a moment and said, "But you are wrong about one thing. This can also be said to be a kind of food culture, but it cannot be called gourmet food."
"What you said makes sense." After being said by the little doll, Lawrence suddenly recalled the fast food he had seen in his previous life. To be honest, those fast food were actually a special kind of diet produced under the background of industrialization.
Culture cannot just be regarded as food that fills the stomach.
"What do you think if we make fast food now?" This conversation also gave Lawrence an inspiration. He looked at Nora across the table and asked. "If I remember correctly, the catering industry is an industry where it is easier to make money.
Especially this kind of fast food is very profitable."
"Don't think about it, my dear brother." Nora looked at Lawrence and waved her little paw and said. "Haven't you ever thought that fast food became a necessity at the beginning of the industrial revolution? But
Why didn’t chain fast food restaurants come into being until nearly 100 years after the Industrial Revolution?”
"You know, compared with modern people, people in ancient times did not understand many things because they had too little experience at most, but their IQs are not much different. Especially when it comes to making money, you can see
They can also see it." The little doll looked helpless and said to Lawrence.
"If that's the case -" Lawrence frowned after listening to Nora's words. But he soon came to his senses. "I understand why. Before the cold chain and transportation system could be established, the so-called standardized industrialization
It’s impossible for people’s diet to exist, so naturally there’s no such thing as chain fast food.”
"This is indeed the case." Nora nodded and stood up and walked out of the restaurant with Lawrence. "So the reason why many new products are promoted is because of various backgrounds. Many things are not the more advanced the better.
.The same goes for the restaurant industry. The same goes for other things.”
Lawrence quite agreed with Nora's words. For example, after he owned the territory, he did not take the most fashionable industrialization path of the era, but chose farming. This may seem a bit rustic, but from the perspective of adapting to local conditions, he
Nowadays, developing agricultural cultivation is far more valuable than developing industry.
Next, the two people continued to stroll around the city. Different from visiting the scenic spots in the morning, they mainly walked around the city's business district in the afternoon to see if there were any specialties that they could buy. As a result, they unexpectedly discovered some interesting things.
The crew members on the ship also shopped in the business district.
After all, the Enterprise is a warship, and its crew members are also members of the Coast Guard, which is equivalent to the navies of other countries. In this case, the wages of everyone on board are not too low, and they have received a lot of points from previous sorties.
Trophies. Naturally, there is enough money to buy all kinds of souvenirs.
After saying hello to everyone, in order not to disturb everyone's shopping mood, Lawrence and Nora quickly left the crew and went to the other end of the store to buy souvenirs. However, considering the budget issue, Lawrence finally only bought
A set of silver enamel jewelry is ready to be given to Saphire.
After all, the two parties are about to get married soon, but after thinking about it carefully, Lawrence found that he had not given her any gifts. So now that we are here this time, as a person with normal emotional intelligence, Lawrence feels that he should
I bought some unique gifts for lovers and gave them to Saphire.
After finally buying the gifts, Lawrence and Nora returned to the hotel where they lived before. Just a few minutes after the two of them returned to the hotel, a roughly dressed priest from the Passion Church came to the hotel and gave them a letter.
Invitation letter.
The content of the invitation letter is very simple, that is, they are almost ready for the Holy Grail ceremony. If there are no accidents, everything will be completed at midnight today.
In other words, the church was finally able to free up its manpower to do other things. For example, it was possible to accurately determine the extent of Lawrence's contribution last time and reward them accordingly.
"The reward this time should not be as big as last time." After reading the letter, Lawrence had a more accurate judgment in his mind, "After all, the benefit to the church of finding the holy relic is only temporary, but I proposed last time
Those thoughts can make a lasting contribution to the church.”
