Chapter 448: It's the New Year

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Manhattan was very lively on this day, and under the leadership of the Chinese genetics, both European and Indian citizens were all excited to participate in this warm holiday atmosphere.

Indian and European citizens, following the example of Chinese citizens, began to visit relatives and friends everywhere, and also prepared a lot of red envelopes, in which some money was put as New Year's money.

The streets are lit up and the sound of firecrackers is endless.

In this day and age, there were no laws prohibiting firecrackers.

However, Zhao Hongyu still strictly ordered the three to pay attention to fire prevention, after all, there are too many forests near Manhattan.

And most of the buildings in Manhattan are wooden houses.

If one carelessly causes a fire, that's not good.

The city has a ten-day holiday, and people take advantage of this holiday to take to the streets.

Because this year, everyone's purse is full, so it has become extravagant to consume.

This makes the merchants very happy.

The bosses of Chinese descent made a lot of money during the Chinese New Year, and even the European businessmen made a lot of money.

During the Chinese New Year, even the black slaves in the empire had a much better life.

Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law, the black bear, also gave his black slaves an unprecedented amount of pork stuffed dumplings every day, making them unable to believe that this was actually true.

In fact, doing things under the black bear, as long as you are willing to work and not be lazy, in fact, life is still good.

Although he is a slave, he can still be satisfied with three meals a day and one meal of meat for three days.

Compared to the prisoner workers in Europe, the life of these black slaves was almost heavenly.

Of course, their status is low, and there is no way to do it.

For his master to be so good to the black slaves, in fact, the black housekeeper next to the black bear has a lot of complaints.

In his opinion. It is completely unnecessary to treat these black slave compatriots so well.

Because these guys should be treated harshly and tortured to be honest.

And the lord should also save some money.

The butler, though also black, was absolutely cruel to his fellow citizens.

Of course, all this he did was to protect the interests of his old black bear, so it can be seen that this guy's loyalty is not to be said.

Regarding the housekeeper's complaints, the black bear didn't care.

However, for this loyal housekeeper, the black bear still gave affirmation and a very generous reward.

A beautiful black slave girl who also bought back a young white woman from Ontario. Gave it to this faithful steward as his wife.

This moved the black bear butler to tears.

He could never have imagined that he would be able to ride a white woman one day.

You know, on the African continent, those white people are very powerful.

But here in the Empire, the status of white people is very low.

And then it also proves that the empire is strong.

For the reward of the black bear, the black housekeeper secretly decided in his heart that he must be loyal to the master in this life, and he must protect the interests of his master in death.

That's the only way to go. can be worthy of the reward that the master gave him.

In fact, although he is the steward of the black bear, his identity is actually still a slave.

The black bear has not changed this identity of his.

The black bear is not stupid, he knows that he has something to do. But there are some things that can't be done.

However, the black bear also assured the black butler that as long as he worked well for himself, then he could completely follow his performance in the future. Seek to free the steward from slavery and get him citizenship in the empire.

It is precisely because of this that the housekeeper is loyal to the black bear.

It is not that there are no blacks in the empire.

Somali blacks, these black slaves, are envious.

Those Somali blacks. For these fellow African slaves who were trafficked to the Empire, that was simply what they fought for.

It's a pity that those Somali blacks simply ignore their compatriots and despise them.

Although occasionally there are some black slaves, when they see those Somali genetically people, they want to set up something like that. But without exception, they were disappointed, because those Somali blacks simply ignored them.

The reason for this is because these black slaves came from West Africa, which belongs to the enemies of the Somali old black tribe.

Although Somali Lao Hei came from the virtual world realm, they didn't have a good impression of the tribal blood feud 'ancestors' of this world realm at that time.

Even modern times in Africa are rife with tribal conflicts, so it's no surprise that these Somali genetics have reacted in this way.

For this, Zhao Hongyu will not care about it at all.

For him, this is a good thing.

Because he can continue to buy black slaves without worrying about the feelings of the Somali genetically people.

Fortunately, there are not many Somali genetics here in Manhattan, and most of the old blacks are in Quibek.

The Gurkhas, together with the old blacks, fought on the Quebec side.

However, compared with the Somali blacks, the Gurkha made Zhao Hongyu very satisfied.

Because as long as he pays those genetic people every month, then the Gurkha people will continue to work for him, and they will not talk to him at all.

Typical money-only.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Hongyu invited his father-in-law and his son to his castle, and also invited the widows of Samu's family.

Wang Shan, Song Hu, Zhang Tie, and the Somali leader Lamar, as well as the Gurkha leader Sharma all rushed back from Quebec to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner hosted by Zhao Hongyu.

They are all confidants who have been with Zhao Hongyu for a long time, so it is normal to meet and entertain them during the Chinese New Year.

As for the other five genetic people with the authority of the township chief, because they were too far away from Manhattan and the itinerary was not very convenient, Zhao Hongyu did not inform them.

Still, Zhao Hongyu sent some envoys to the cities where they developed to express his greetings, as well as New Year's greetings.

It's New Year!

These are the three winters that Zhao Hongyu has spent in this era. It's also the second year.

At that time, when I first came to this era, I was still alone, and I even had to face many dangers.

But two years later, he now has a population of three million under his command, and tens of thousands of elite warriors, all of North America.

It's a dreamlike process.

On the dining table, there is a high red star two-pot head, which is now a popular wine in the Song Empire.

Even some Europeans, who were not used to drinking it at first, are now accepting it.

Rum and whiskey and gin, although sold in the Empire. But the sales were not very good.

It's a powerful thing, but you'll love it if you drink it a few times.

Those European drunkards even love this kind of wine to death.

Plates of shiny greens, as well as fresh fungus and cucumber mixed with cold vegetables were served.

At the same time, pork and sauerkraut stewed vermicelli and potato beef stew, which are Manhattan's winter dishes, were also served in large basins.

Three roasted golden suckling pigs, caught from the sea, and the crispy reindeer meat shop are all very generous...... This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is actually quite good.

After all, now Zhao Hongyu and their agricultural technology at hand is not very good. It was nice to be able to eat these foods in the winter of the 17th century.

You must know that in this era, even the protagonists of the royal family and even the church in Europe. I don't necessarily have such a variety of food.

Especially in winter, don't think about eating cold dishes such as fresh cucumbers and fungus, as well as a variety of fresh vegetables.

The genetics didn't show much of a surprised reaction to this.

Black Bear, his wife, and Emma are not surprised by this. In their opinion, their son-in-law is very powerful, and it is understandable to do anything anyway.

Besides, the black bear and his wife. In fact, he is also a believer in the development of the 'Abyss Church', and he is still a fanatical believer.

It is precisely because he has been brainwashed by the preachers of the Abyss God Sect and has experienced those 'artifacts' that the black bear thinks that Zhao Hongyu is omnipotent.

What's so great about getting a little fresh vegetables in winter, my son-in-law and the 'god of agriculture' are subordinate relationships, so there's no fuss.

You must know that within the Abyss God Sect, the news that Zhao Hongyu is an ancient god several eras ago has been spreading, but because he has been sleeping for too long, his memory has disappeared.

But there is no doubt that He is indeed a living God.

Those 'artifacts' that talk through the air, as well as the tools that can watch the 'war in the divine realm', those can't belong to this world.

Zhao Hongyu's old father-in-law only became a fanatic after watching the revised trailer of the War of the Gods.

I have to say that these people from the Abyss God Sect are despicable.

First of all, Wang Shan, the 'attendant god' in the sect, used his authority to find Chen Zhenbang and then used him to find an IT company, asking them to cancel the subtitles of the war of the gods trailer, and then add the Chinese lines he wrote well, and added Zhao Hongyu's appearance to the protagonist's head.

In this way, it became a step to record the scenes of the war between the gods of several epochs, that is, 'countless and countless years ago'.

The effect was very good, but all the Indians and Europeans who saw it were shocked.

At the same time, it becomes extremely easy to become a fanatical believer in the Abyssal Cult.

And it is also very easy to accept the words of the Abyssal Cult and the denigration of the European Church.

After all, one is the one who just talks about how many miracles God has, but no one has seen it with their own eyes.

One is the scene that can show the god war to everyone in its original form, and there are some shocking artifacts to show.

So, it's obvious who to believe and who not to believe.

The black bear looked at his son-in-law, who was smiling and talking to his men, and he sat there and laughed silly.

The son-in-law is still a god, can't he also go to the god realm in the future?

Because he thought of what the preachers of the church were saying...... After the Lord God regains his memory, those who serve him will become the warriors of the God, possess a low-level godhead, and return to the divine realm with the Lord God...... (To be continued.) )
