If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

On the second day after the army returned to the city, a huge celebration banquet was held in the city.

According to the past practice, whenever there is such a major celebration event, the whole city can participate, eat, drink and watch various programs. It can be said that the whole city celebrates.

It’s just that there are too many people in Wangxiang City now, and it’s not realistic to open it up for everyone to eat and drink, so anyone who is willing to participate in the celebration, according to the original household registration, each family only needs to pay a small amount of money or food according to the head, and the rest The public treasury paid part of the shortage of supplies, and Xia Chen made up for it himself.

Of course, not everyone can participate. There are also guards that need to be on duty that day, and some employees must be on duty for some positions that cannot be separated from people. Especially the guards, the more they need a lot of manpower to maintain order.

But there is no other way, someone will bring food and drink to them.

As for those foreign businessmen, they were guests anyway, and it was a coincidence that they encountered such a good thing. In addition, there were not many of them, so they invited them directly, and the admission tickets were delivered, so they came or not.

It was definitely coming, everyone in the caravan had been looking forward to it the day before, and they were lucky, they happened to catch up, and just in time to attend the celebration after a day of recuperating enough energy.

Because Xia Chen had mentioned about holding a celebration banquet early on, the supplies had been prepared beforehand, so he just brought it up for use at this time.

The competent department in charge of the preparation of the event has long been experienced, just follow the previous procedures, and start preparations in advance when the personnel are in place, and the whole city is filled with a festive atmosphere.

The celebration started in the morning. First, Wen Shu led the soldiers who sent troops as foreign aid to a simple but solemn military parade.

On the downtown square specially built to hold various events, the citizens cheered loudly for the soldiers undergoing review, and Xia Chen presented medals and prizes to the soldiers.

Since the establishment of the Legion, Xia Chen has discussed with the senior management to determine the level of military merit and medals. The accumulated military merit will be converted into special contribution points. This contribution value can be used to exchange for some mutant plants and rare items that are not sold to the public or sold in limited quantities.

If the contribution value has been useless and accumulated to a certain extent, even if the soldiers are old, as long as Xia Chen is still the city lord, as long as Wangxiang City is still there, the Wangxiang City Government will allocate funds for them to support them.

As soon as this policy came out, the soldiers were determined to serve Wangxiangcheng to the death, and they fought more and more bravely, and they were particularly active in fighting.

Xia Chen used the loudspeaker plant to briefly describe the achievements of the soldiers during this trip, such as killing many zombies, helping the Imperial Capital Base to guard the territory, and making great contributions to the peace and tranquility of mankind. It's so righteous and noble portrayed, as if they were really just there to help.

As for those rewards...

Hey, what about remuneration? Let's send troops to help. How dare the Imperial Capital Base make us suffer? Isn't that the compensation for military expenses?

After finishing speaking, medals were awarded to the outstanding fighters. Others who participated in the battle also calculated certain military merits based on their respective achievements. registered beneficiaries.

After the commendation meeting in the morning, Xia Chen announced the start of the celebration, and the crowd suddenly boiled up.

He stepped back from the stage, and immediately a staff member came up to set up the stage, and after a while, someone here will come up to sing.

On the street next to the square, someone set up a water shop at the door of the house, selling tea, sugar water, and fruit juice. This is the opportunity for the people of Wangxiang City to start a small business.

Mr. Storyteller came out with a lot of stories at once. Because of the stories given by Xia Chen and various picture books published later, the people of Wangxiangcheng have long developed the habit of listening to stories. I don't like to listen, but I like to listen to those interesting stories written by the city lord.

These stories have supported a lot of storytellers, and even those who have heard a lot of people in the countryside and cities can tell a couple of paragraphs at any time.

Some families already have shops, and they are reluctant to part with the good business. The big guys are happy, and the money is spent as soon as their hands are loose. Isn't it a good time to make money.

Those who sell clothes, seasonings and furniture are nothing more. I am afraid that no one will be interested in buying these things today, so they just close the shop and have fun.

Those who sell food are not willing to miss this opportunity, so they simply set up a small shop on the square with a cart, and all kinds of food are sold at once.

These are all private, and you can shop around and buy them at will, but you have to pay for them.

A large area will be set aside in the middle of the square, a bonfire will be lit, and whole sheep and whole pigs will be roasted on the rack. Anyone who has paid for the entry ticket can exchange the entry ticket for a large piece. Fragrant barbecue.

You know, for some reason in the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer animals in the wild, and occasionally there will be some mutant animals with deformed looks, described as terrifying and super powerful. Meat has long been a luxury in people's lives, just like fine grains. .

Fortunately, Wangxiangcheng had already prepared and set up a breeding farm in advance. Although the animals suddenly mutated frequently in the later period, some ordinary carnivorous species were kept to ensure the meat supply in the city.

When other bases realized that they also wanted to start breeding, the original poultry and livestock were basically dead or eaten up, and it was difficult to find suitable breeding cattle and sheep in the wild.

There was even a base that went to Wangxiang City to buy lambs and piglets, but no matter how much they tossed about, they took it slow, and it was no big deal to transport the three or two back.

So as soon as the barbecue was put on the rack, the people around were already drooling over it, watching the chef put seasoning on the roasted whole pig and roasted whole lamb, their mouths drooling.

Meat is so in short supply, so naturally they can’t open it up for them to eat. With the entrance ticket they got when they paid for the meat, everyone can get a big piece. The big piece of meat alone is what they handed over. Several times.

That's not to mention, Wangxiangcheng also has other stalls, such as roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, roasted corn, multigrain powder, and even a stall of candied haws.

These stalls are free, but the candied haws are only available to children.

Next to these stalls are big pots filled with bone soup. You can drink the hot and fragrant bone soup casually. The big bones are boiled until the bone marrow is completely integrated into the soup.

Those who are reluctant to spend money can eat and drink at the public stalls with the money they pay, and then take a roasted corn or roasted sweet potato, and eat slowly while listening to books and watching plays.

Some people with better conditions will not be full directly from these stalls. They want to eat something else. There are too many delicious foods here, and they can't help but want to spend money.

Anyway, it's been a long time since it was so lively this time, with such a heart in mind, everyone spent their money very happily.

Yang Fan had been separated from the caravan a long time ago, but he was not afraid, he remembered the way back, and after a while, he would go back by himself.

There are too many people in the square, and the surrounding streets are also full of people, especially beside the bonfires, there are countless people waiting to get barbecue.

The aroma of barbecue in the air is really tempting. It has an indescribable aroma more than the barbecue that Yang Fan has eaten before. Just smelling it makes the mouth water.

The dozen or so large bonfires have been roasted for several rounds, and the slaughtered pigs and sheep have been sent over to put on the fire.

As for why there are no cattle, the cattle in the city are raised late, the number is small, and they have to plow the land for work, so they are rarely slaughtered.

Yang Fan swallowed, looked at the crowd that was too crowded, and decided to wait until later, anyway, the event was held all day, and there was still a long time before the end, so there was always something to eat.

Yang Fan first went to the tofu stand he had been looking forward to for a long time to buy tofu nao. He remembered the quarrel between Dong Da and someone yesterday, so he bought two bowls specially, one salty and the other sweet.

The bean curds are hot and delicious, smooth and tender in the mouth, full of bean fragrance, sweet and refreshing, and full of salty taste, each has its own advantages.

Yang Fan ate two bowls in one go, and found both salty and sweet to be delicious. If Dong Da and the others argued again, he would act as a peacemaker and make peace with them.

After eating the tofu nao, Yang Fan just got up and wanted to leave when a customer came to buy stinky tofu.

This strange name aroused Yang Fan's interest. He stood and looked at it for a while, and saw the proprietress pick out a few small black squares with strange colors from the wooden box, put them into the oil pan and fry them, and there was a strange smell. The smell dissipated immediately.

When Yang Fan saw the color, he already felt bad, but when he smelled it again, he immediately remembered the moldy dried tofu he had eaten before, and immediately ran away clutching his nose.

After running for a long distance, Yang Fan felt relieved until the smell disappeared from his nose and the smell of other food filled the surrounding air.

He happened to run to a candied haws stall, and seeing many children coming to pick up candied haws, he went up to have a look.

His brother bought this thing for him before, and it tastes sour and sweet.

The owner of the candied haws stall was given a task to do the work. Yang Fan stood aside, thinking that he wanted it too, but this candied haws was only for children. Should it be given.

In fact, Yang Fan is already seventeen this year, but he is born with a tender face, and he suffered a lot of hardships during his growth and development period, and his size did not keep up. .

The stall owner hesitated and asked, "How old are you?"

Yang Fan didn't know why, but he still reported his age honestly, fearing that people would underestimate him, he deliberately reported his age as false.

When the stall owner heard it, hey, we are eighteen, so why are you here to join in the fun, he laughed and said that candied haws are only distributed to children.

Yang Fan didn't know, when he was talking, he just listened casually, and when he lowered his head, a bunch of little radish heads looked at him with smiles, and the young boy blushed all of a sudden.

"I didn't ask for this, I just wanted to see..."

Yang Fan lowered his head and wanted to leave, when suddenly someone beside him said, "Give me a candied haws."

It was the voice of an adult man. Yang Fan followed the voice, but saw that it was the handsome Taoist priest he had seen yesterday.

Although the candied haws are for children, Xu Helai has an unusual status. Not only is he the leader of the Taoist Academy, but he also has a very good relationship with the city lord.

The stall owner immediately brought him the biggest, reddest, and most syrupy candied haws. Xu He came to take the candied haws, thanked him, and sent the bright red bunch to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan froze for a moment, pointing at himself foolishly and asking, "Is it for me?"

Xu Helai smiled, stuffed the candied haws into his hands, and said, "You are from the Beitong City caravan, right? You are a visitor, please eat."

After he finished speaking, he didn't think about communicating too much with this young man who met him once, so he took his nephew Jingyuan and Taoist priest to wander elsewhere.

Yang Fan stared blankly at him walking away, held up the candied haws and took a bite, the sugar coating was crispy and sweet, the hawthorn flesh inside burst out a sour taste, mixed with the crispy sugar coating, it tasted sour and sweet .

After eating all the candied haws one by one, Yang Fan licked his lips, thinking that Wangxiangcheng's candied haws were also delicious, but it's a pity that he couldn't take them home, otherwise he could let his brother taste it too.

After that, he ate shortbread, a simple version of almond tea with incomplete ingredients, various pastries, especially the pastries made of pumpkin, which can be made in ten different ways.

The story told by the storyteller in the middle attracted my attention. I stood aside and listened to the whole paragraph in one breath, but I still didn’t feel satisfied, so I changed the storyteller and continued to listen.

As a result, I didn't finish listening to the two stories, and it was even more uncomfortable to hang up and down.

He was hungry after standing for a long time, so he went to the baked sweet potato stand, got two roasted sweet potatoes with sugary juice, and finished them while breathing hot.

Feeling dry mouth, he drank a bowl of big bone broth by the way, it was so fresh that he couldn't help it, so he added another bowl, and someone beside him was eating shortbread with bone soup, it was delicious.

When it was time for dinner, Yang Fan went to get a piece of barbecue, which was a piece of lamb ribs. Some people thought it was too thin and didn't want it, but Yang Fan thought it was very good after eating it. What kind of seasoning, it is especially delicious when sprinkled on lamb.

After eating the mutton, he went to drink tea again. There was a store that sold milk tea that he had never tasted before. It was said that milk was added. Yang Fan went to try it and found the taste a bit strange, but he didn't hate it.

After eating and drinking enough, watching other sideshows for a while, and listening to some books, Yang Fan walked back slowly, feeling that the day was so pleasant, it was as comfortable as two people outside the city. world.

"It would be nice if I could live here with my brother!"

The young boy looked up at the moon, which was no different from Beitong City, and muttered softly: "But my brother must not want to leave Beitong City..."

The author has something to say: It’s too cold, the author froze and didn’t say anything o(╥﹏╥)o
