Chapter 126: Festival
Frodo, the halfling, was delighted at this time, not only did he find that spice from the wilderness, but he also learned a whole new way of cooking - stir-frying.
Frodo was pleasantly surprised by this new way of cooking, and during this time he made many delicious dishes under Suren's guidance, and he is now very confident that he will win the King Chef competition when he returns to Shire.
In the same way, he is still very curious about the contents of Su Lun's stomach, who made these dishes all Su Lun's proposals? Ice cream, braised pork, stir-fried pork, stir-fried meat with mushrooms, cumin mutton and other kinds of stir-fried dishes were all proposed by him.
Frodo was now close to tearing apart Suren's head to see how many whimsy was hidden inside. For example, Suren had just told him about a snack called potato chips, and Frodo had already started trying to make them based on Suren's description.
The reason why Suren makes potato chips is also that there are too many potatoes, and you can't eat mashed potatoes every day, so making some snacks is a good way.
The process of making potato chips is not difficult, just cut the chips into thin slices, then fry them in a pan until golden brown, and sprinkle spices when they come out of the pan, the only thing that is a little difficult is to cut the potato chips, but this is only basic for a wanderer who can play with a dagger.
The last time he ate hot pot, Frodo performed a piece of mutton, and a large piece of mutton was sliced into a thin piece of meat of the same size as a cicada's wings in a short time under his knife, and the knife work was even higher than the craftsmanship of the meat master in Donglaishun in the previous life.
Soon the potato chips with a rich fragrance were ready, and Su Lun tasted a piece, which tasted crispy and delicious, not much different from what he had eaten in his previous life. Hathaway and Chrissy liked it even more, and from today onwards, they added potato chips to their snacks in addition to ice cream.
"Hey, Suren, your territory has a good harvest, do you want a harvest festival or some other celebration?, I think it's great to have a fishing tournament!" Frodo suggested as he clicked on the chips.
"Harvest festivals and celebrations, what does this do?" Su Lun wondered.
"Festivals can make the inhabitants of the territory feel happy and enhance the sense of belonging to the territory. Frodo said with a smile.
"Well, I agreed. Su Lun thought for a moment, it does cost a lot to hold a festival in the territory, but as Frodo said, it can improve the sense of belonging of the people in the territory, or more bluntly, the people's hearts.
After this period of immigration, the people's morale in Sulun's territory has declined a little, after all, even if Sulun gives them good treatment, many of these people are still slaves, and the people's morale is naturally not high, although after killing the pterodactyl, the people's morale and stability have increased by ten points, but now the people's hearts in the territory are still about eighty.
"You agree? That's great!" Frodo said excitedly, almost all halflings love the celebrations.
"I thought I could have a food tournament, a fishing tournament, and to be honest, in my hometown of Shire, I had won both a food tournament and a fishing tournament, and this was the first time in hundreds of years that anyone had won a double championship. ”
Suren didn't believe much in Frodo's boasting that he had won a double championship, because many halflings would brag about it, but most of them boasted that they had won fishing tournaments or food tournaments, and there were very few double champions like Frodo.
However, Frodo now has mastered the killer trick of stir-frying, and may have a chance to win the double title. As for the championship of the entire Shire, this is not necessarily true, because the Shire are all villages and each village will host this kind of competition, but there is no unified big competition.
So what he calls the eight achievements of the champion is that the village has won the championship ┓(′?')┏.
"Food contests and fishing tournaments? I think so, but add a bow and arrow and fighting tournament. Su Lun thought for a moment and said. Now that we've decided to hold a festival, it's better to make it bigger.
"Bow and fighting matches?" Frodo shrugged, he wasn't very good at either, but it should be lively, and that would be enough.
The fishing tournament was soon held, and not many people participated in the fishing tournament, and more people went to the fighting and bow competitions. In particular, the barbarians all signed up for the fighting competition, and the archers participated in the bow and arrow competition. Suren didn't participate in either of these tournaments, after all, if he did, others wouldn't have to play, so he took Hathaway to the fishing tournament.
"That's how festive it feels. Frodo said excitedly, then took out a few sticks from his pocket, connected the sticks back and forth, assembled a fishing rod in three clicks, and then put on the bait, and began to fish with a flick of the hook.
"Today, I'm going to show you the skills of the Shire Fishing Champion. ”
Suren also made a fishing rod and ran to the side to fish, and next to him was Hathaway, who also participated in the fishing tournament, but Chrissy was not interested in the fishing tournament.
Hathaway fished for the first time, but her luck was unexpected, and after a while her float began to shake, and her arm was trying to catch it with all her might.
"Don't worry, it's a fish tempting, and as soon as you move, it will run away. Su Lun hurriedly stopped.
"You're lucky, this fish is supposed to be a big one. ”
"Really, why are the big fish eating it tonight?" Hathaway said excitedly.
"Hooked!" At that moment, Hathaway's rod suddenly fell, the straight rod had bent into a bow, and the line had crumbled tightly.
"Pay-off, pay-off, pay off slowly. Su Lun commanded beside him, "That's right, tighten it slowly, so that it will consume its strength and not break the fishing line." ”
"Isn't it too much trouble to do that. Hathaway frowned, "There it is!"
I saw her snap her fingers, and then a transparent palm suddenly appeared in the water, directly lifting the big fish that was jumping around.
Suren: "......"
"This fish weighs at least fifteen pounds!" Hathaway said excitedly.
Suren: "The joy of fishing is to wrestle with the fish, relying on a thin line and using great skill to successfully recover them, so as to obtain satisfaction... You are so flexible when you fish..."
Hathaway didn't hear Suren's words at all, threw the fish into the bucket and continued fishing, but today her luck seemed to be bursting, and before a few minutes passed, the second fish was hooked, and Suren didn't come up with a single fish, and similarly, Frodo, who had just blown the cowhide out of the sky, also didn't have a single fish on the bait...
And then, fishing became Hathaway's personal show, the third, fourth, fifth, one after another fish were caught, and Frodo next to him finally couldn't sit still.
I saw him drop the fishing rod, pick up a harpoon and jump into the water with a pop, and after a while, a figure came out of the river, the harpoon in his hand was raised high, and a river fish of about ten catties was forked on it, and he smiled happily: "I also caught it!"
"It's a fishing competition, not a spearfish. Suren rolled his eyes. "You're cheating, disqualified. ”
In the end, Hathaway won the competition, the prize was a three-electric plasma cannon, and the other competitions were decided one after another, with Johnson winning the fighting competition and the bow competition being the archer captain.
In the evening, a banquet was held in the territory, and the whole town of North Fort became very lively. And Su Lun also heard the system's prompt tone.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, you successfully held a harvest festival, and the people are very satisfied with the festival, and the people's hearts are +10. ”
"Congratulations to the host, you have opened the festival system, the current festival [Harvest Festival], having a festival can make the people of your territory stable and prosperous. ”
[Harvest Festival: A grand festival can bring more happiness and a sense of belonging to the people, +10 for the people, +5 for prosperity]
