Chapter 181: Green City
Elf Daily Greentown, December 1 (Reporter Rita)
On the morning of December 1, Elizabeth, the princess of the elf royal court, visited the cadres and workers working on the front line of the New Year's passenger transport conference at Greentown East Station, expressed condolences to the cadres and workers who stuck to the front line of the New Year's passenger transport, and put forward requirements for the next step.
Princess Elizabeth thanked the conductors and attendants of the newly arrived trains, and encouraged the next batch of conductors and attendants who came to hand over the trains.
Princess Elizabeth said that everyone's work is very hard, especially under the continuous high-intensity work during the peak period of passenger flow in the New Year, the team members braved the cold and heavy rain to escort the safe travel of passengers, which won wide praise from the society and showed a good image of railway workers. It is hoped that the majority of employees will overcome many difficulties such as low temperature, heavy rainfall, and large passenger flow, and continue to carry forward the fine tradition of railway elves who are particularly able to fight, endure hardships, and dedicate themselves, so as to ensure the safe travel of passengers returning home for the New Year.
Subsequently, Princess Elizabeth expressed her condolences to the stationmaster and front-line staff representatives of Greentown Chengdong Station.
Princess Elizabeth pointed out that it is necessary to pay close attention to the weather changes during the peak period of passenger flow in the New Year, and do a good job of releasing weather information in a timely manner, so that the majority of travelers can arrange their travel in advance. It is necessary to intensify the renovation of the surrounding environment such as stations and departure areas, and create a clean, hygienic and smooth travel environment, so that passengers can come and go at ease.
During Princess Elizabeth's condolences, the princess's apprentice, Charles McGardenen, sent condolences to the front-line cadres and workers.
?? Dividing line??
Charles: They arrived at the final stop, Greentown, the capital of the Elven Court, at noon on the third day.
As soon as the door of the carriage opened, the elves carrying large bags and small bags jumped out of the carriage one after another, stepping on the stagnant water brought by the rainstorm that had just stopped on the ground and walked briskly towards the exit of the station.
Charles and his party walked out of the carriage led by Elizabeth.
Elizabeth sent Horatio, George, Penelope, Galatea, and Halcara back to their respective homes, and then took Charles to the front of the train to comfort the train staff, and then to the station staff.
By the time the brief condolences were over, Artoria had taken Mira, Diana, and Mordred into the carriage waiting for them outside the station.
The outside of the station here is the same as outside the train station in Charles's previous life, full of spirits welcoming relatives and friends.
When Charles walked out of the station, he saw George not far away holding his daughter and rubbing his face, and a mature and beautiful female elf was now watching this scene with a happy face. On the other side, Horatio was holding the hand of his sister who welcomed him home, smiling and talking to her.
Of course, there are also many shouts such as "do you want to take a car" and "where to go, leave immediately".
After getting into the carriage that had come to meet them, Elizabeth said to the people in the carriage, "Let's go to dinner first, and then we will see my mother in the afternoon." ”
Along the way, Charles looked at the city curiously through the car window, just like the other children who also came here.
After ten minutes of carriage walking, Charles finally understood why the elves called the city Greentown.
"Half the city, the green trees and the half city building" is the true portrayal of the city.
In the city, there are rows of towering trees in the green belt on both sides of the road, and those trees that look at least three digits old stand like giant parasols on both sides of the road, sheltering pedestrians from the wind and rain.
In addition to the green belts on the streets, there are also various flowers and plants planted on the windowsills and rooftops of the houses on both sides of the road.
In this subtropical city, the plants are still green in winter.
Greentown is rich in water, with a huge lake to the north and a large lake to the south, and a number of small lakes and natural ponds to the west.
The palace of the Elven Court was built on the south shore of Beihu Lake in the north of the city, and the headquarters of the Temple of Life was built on the island in the middle of the lake in the South Lake in the south of the city.
Several small rivers flow through the city, and the banks of the rivers are built into parks full of flowers and plants.
The houses here are all made of stone and the architectural styles vary, and sometimes walking down a street is like walking back to an architectural museum.
The carriage stopped on a busy street, and Charles and the others got out of the car only to find that it was outside the door of a restaurant, and then they followed Elizabeth into the hotel with roses crawling on the front wall.
The steward of the hotel had already lined up with the waiters at the door to greet Elizabeth and her party, and the steward personally led them to the luxury box on the fourth floor.
After sitting down around the round table, Elizabeth said to Charles, "I opened it, and since I am often away from home, I simply let my cooks and waiters come out and open a shop to earn some extra money." It's good to come and eat at this restaurant while you're here. ”
Then she said to the steward of the hotel: "These are all their own people......"
She paused for a moment, then pointed to Charles and the four children and said to the steward, "In the future, a few of them will come here to eat and put it on my account." ”
She finally pointed to Artoria and said, "This person only charges capital when he comes here to eat." ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the box, and an elf wearing a green robe embroidered with the coat of arms of the Elven Royal Tree walked in. After saluting Elizabeth, he said, "Your Royal Highness, Her Majesty has asked you to take Charles Maccaden to the back garden at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”
"I see. Elizabeth's face was a little unpleasant, "Does the Queen have anything else to say?"
The messenger said, "Her Majesty has given you a good meal." ”
Then Elizabeth's face darkened.
Except for Artoria, who was holding back a smile on the side, the other children were confused.
The messenger and the hotel steward left, and two waiters walked in with a cart. They put the cutlery in front of the guests, and finally placed a basin and kettle with boiling water in the center of the turntable on the table.
The Elven Tree Sea has a warm climate and a lot of grass and trees, which makes there many flying insects here.
Because these bugs can easily make the elves who use these utensils sick if they stop on the tableware or even lay eggs on the tableware, the elves have the habit of scalding the dishes with boiling water before eating.
Although the tableware provided by this restaurant is absolutely hygienic, the long-established habit will not disappear as a result.
However, boiling water to scald dishes is also a technical job, and Mordred almost scalded herself by the way.
After everyone had ironed the dishes, the waiter took away the kettle and waste water basin.
Soon, the first soup of today's lunch came up, and the aroma of the soup made from chicken and durian skin immediately filled the entire box.
After serving the soup to everyone, the waiter turned on the switch on the turntable on the table and let the turntable slowly turn on its own.
Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the turntable would move on its own, so that he could avoid the embarrassing thing of "the leader will turn the table when he picks up the dishes".
The waiters soon filled the table with white-cut chicken, roast goose, steamed fish, taro button pork, eggplant meat foam pot, steamed pork ribs with plum, pork belly barbecued pork, braised catfish with fried tofu, salted egg patty and lotus leaf rice.
Because Mordred was not skilled in using chopsticks, Charles, who was sitting next to her, had to often help her put the dishes she wanted to eat into her bowl and let her eat slowly with a spoon.
At the same time, Charles found that his sister had been sullen in recent times, and he rarely spoke, and he constantly served his sister the dishes she liked, and at the same time discussed with her how these dishes were cooked.
Charles, Diana's side, was left alone, she was now on the verge of tears.
Elizabeth listened to her mother and ate there, as if she would be hungry for the next few days.
There is a war going on in the hotel, on one side of the war Artoria and on the other side of the restaurant chefs and waiters.
Delicate and delicious dishes are not something that can be prepared simply, and the chefs in the kitchen do their best to prepare each dish as quickly as possible and in good quantity to catch up with the pace at which Artoria eats in the box.
