Chapter 64: Mother Cow
Jessica knocked on the door in less than ten minutes and went downstairs with Jon. As soon as he walked out of the gate, Jon was presented with another world.
Unlike Wiener, the star is a super emerging and fashionable city, with dense air ducts and flight pipes in the sky, and countless flying machines whistling by even in low altitude.
But the Custer Star seemed to have gone back thousands of years in time and space, and it suddenly made people return to the Blue Star Era, no, even older than the Blue Star Era.
The houses here are usually low, and there are only two or three high-rise buildings. And precisely because there are only two or three high-rise buildings, there are only three or two lonely flight passages for the aircraft. The sky is not blocked by the passage, the sun shines freely on the street, and although there are few trees, two or three can be seen at a distance of 100 meters.
There were no flying machines whizzing overhead, not even cars on the streets, but surprising two-door carriages, or open-top ones.
Lei Siqian feels as if she has arrived in Europe before the Industrial Revolution, where people walk slowly and leisurely, and when they see strangers, they will smile and nod their heads in greeting. All this, and the interstellar age, is really incongruous.
Jon...... Oh my God, it's so beautiful here. Lei Siqian snorted softly.
Jon also felt the same way, he didn't know that the capital of the empire was such a place, and the capital of the capital star was even more beautiful.
Jessica looked at Jon's stunned appearance and was a little amused, so she pulled Jon along the road and slowly introduced Jon to the history and formation of Vijska.
In fact, Caster Planet was a fashionable and modern city like Wiener at the beginning, but Wiener had a large number of plants, but Castel did not. As a result, soon after the formation of the city, there was a serious problem of karstality, that is, the living environment became worse and worse.
The rulers of the empire at that time, the Roy family, after introspection, personally took the lead, insisting on walking and not using flying machines when traveling on the mainland. Over time, people in the capital were gradually moved by the Emperor's persistence and participated in this walking activity.
After decades of perseverance, Roy I had passed away, but the people of the capital saw the effects of walking. With fewer flight lanes, sunlight brightens the ground, air pollution decreases, and people no longer smell the pungent tail odor.
What's even more surprising is that the planetary miasma that originally existed in the capital actually retreated dozens of kilometers back, and it will only appear on the periphery of the capital star, and it will not spread over.
In order to keep this effort from being in vain, and in order to make future generations live with more peace of mind, the next few emperors insisted on this walking activity.
Although the Alliance dismissed this, saying that the people of the Empire were "evolutionarily regressive", the people of the Empire took pride in it, slowed down their own pace of life, and enjoyed it.
This is also why, the alliance has developed rapidly over the years, while the empire has a bit of a backward feeling. Life is enjoyable, but it is indeed far inferior to the alliance in terms of technology.
And many new technologies and new inventions are also emerging in an endless stream on the alliance side, on the other hand, on the empire's side, it is a bit of a "cheap and old-fashioned" flavor.
There are pros and cons to everything, but Jon likes this life quite a bit. Lei Siqi is no exception, she has to exclaim for a long time when she sees everything, and praises Vijeska for being so beautiful.
Sunshine, afternoon, walking through the street lined with medieval buildings with red bricks and white walls, Jessica habitually slowed down, and even Jon couldn't help but blend in with the environment.
Along the way, there were many people who greeted Jessica, and Jon knew that Jessica was the daughter of a nobleman, but he didn't expect Jessica's popularity to be so high.
Seeing the other young man reluctantly leaving after kissing Jessica with a red face, Jon asked her with a smile, "Senior sister, when you got engaged, many people must have been heartbroken." ”
Jessica's face was flushed, she glanced at Jon and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Stinky boy, even you would make such a joke?" ”
How else to say that it is difficult to learn well and easy to learn bad? There are adults around him, and even if he is underage, Jon knows a lot.
While the two were talking and laughing, they strolled to the commercial street of the capital, and before they got closer, there were gradually more people. Jessica reached out and grabbed Jon and told him not to get lost, and then led Jon into the shopping street.
The shopping street is only allowed on foot, and even horse-drawn carriages cannot drive in. It's afternoon again, and many people have just eaten dinner and are shuttling through the streets to get ready to go back to work.
Jessica avoided pedestrians all the way while whispering to Jon about the structure of the shopping street, and when she reached the center of the shopping street, the people gradually dispersed. Jessica then asked Jon which store he was going to visit first.
"Let's go eat first, I'm dying of hunger." Jon rubbed his stomach a little distressed, he chose to leave almost noon just to have lunch in Vigeska, he didn't expect to have to walk here, but it took a long time, and he was hungry now.
Jessica was also hungry, so she took Jon to an elegant restaurant. Although it is also a red brick house, not a wooden hut, the style is no worse than the Dark Incense Pavilion of Vena Star, and it can even be said to be better.
The name of the restaurant is "Mother Cow", the owner of the restaurant is a fat short aunt, her stocky figure and her smile on her face make her look extraordinarily kind, and she and Jessica are obviously very familiar, as soon as they saw Jessica, they jumped up and hugged Jessica and kissed them twice, and then affectionately took the two to a window table.
"Honey, it's been a long time since you've been back, what are you going to eat with this handsome young man?"
"Oh, Sophie, I've been missing your fried guka steak for a long time, please bring me the biggest one, this is my junior brother Jon, give him a cocha steak too, if he eats well, add another one for him."
Jessica expertly finished ordering, and after Sophie left, she whispered to Jon, "I'm sorry, I ordered you food on my own initiative, but her animal steak here is really delicious." I promise you'll eat your tongue! ”
Jon didn't object, but smiled and asked about the name of the restaurant.
Jessica said, "You know, before the interstellar journey, our empire used to eat steak. However, in the interstellar era, it was a bit difficult to breed cattle, so everyone replaced it with star beast meat. And this Sophie is a mother of eight. This restaurant was originally intended to be called Mother's Restaurant, but later it was too general, so I added a cow in front. (To be continued.) )
