Chapter 0081 The Origin of the Merchant Ceremony
Luo Xiaofang took out the letter and read it carefully.
"Hello Elf-sama! Thank you for being a supporter of my beloved little son, but the registration period for this event will end the day after tomorrow. This event is very important to me, and the results of the three of them are related to the selection of the next mayor, so I have to be cautious.
You can see that you have a very good relationship with your friend. I also saw that for the sake of your friend, you are willing to advance and retreat with him, and endure hardships together. But I have to live up to your kindness! Because time is running out!
Just yesterday, a team approached me. Their strength is very strong, and I have to admire them. Time is running out, and I see you haven't found your team yet. So, after much consideration, I had no choice but to hand over my precious son to them.
I'm so sorry for what I did! I left some gold coins in the envelope as compensation, and I hope you can understand. If, during the journey, I see my child in danger, please reach out and help them.
Mayor Pig, respectfully! ”
Well, that's why bother.
After reading the letter, Luo Xiaofang couldn't help but sigh, and Li Guoqing leaned aside to read the letter, and shrugged helplessly.
This person is soft-hearted, soft-hearted is a disease! Everyone said that, and there was no reason to continue to be angry.
"Let's go, let's go back and inquire and see if any other villagers can join the celebration."
"Hmm."
Li Guoqing also nodded helplessly in agreement.
Luo Xiaofang could see that Li Guoqing was not in a good mood now, and he tried his best to improve his prestige, just to be able to catch up with others and accept the task of supporters.
Although when he was with Luo Xiaofang, Li Guoqing was talking and laughing. But Luo Xiaofang knew that Li Guoqing was actually a relatively arrogant, withdrawn and arrogant person. Let him pull down his face and beg the villagers, and take the initiative to go up to help others, and others still ignore them. Such a thing, in previous life, was an impossible scenario.
When he puts aside his pride to please others, he tries to do everything well, accumulates every bit of valuable prestige, and finally raises his prestige to a neutral level.
When he went to Mayor Pig's house with great joy, he didn't expect that he had already been taken first. This mood is understandable to Luo Xiaofang.
So, Luo Xiaofang put his arm on Li Guoqing's shoulders and said loudly to him.
"Today, to celebrate your neutrality, let's go to hot pot in the evening!"
"Good..."
"Come on, come on! When I get tired of eating potatoes and corn, I will go to the street to buy some meat and eat shabu at night. ”
"Good! Is there meat to eat? ”
"yes, yes, eat meat at night!"
"That's a good feeling, I want to eat more!"
"Good! Let's go! “
"Let's go, buy meat!"
The two of them hooked their shoulders and backs, twisted left and right, facing the slowly falling sunset, and walked towards the way home with the steps of six relatives who did not recognize them.
Today's dinner is a meat and bone hot pot, which contains pork meat and bones, as well as cabbage, radish, mushrooms, vermicelli and other vegetarian dishes. Luo Xiaofang, Li Guoqing and the dog Beachy sat around the stove, drooling non-stop.
As for what kind of meat it is, it is said to be pork.
Luo Xiaofang is very strange, there are pig people in the animal kingdom, why is there pork for sale?
Later, according to Beechcraft's explanation, they found out. This world is divided into ordinary animal people and carnivorous animals, animal people evolved from ancient times, and animals that have not evolved are called carnivorous animals, pigs are called meat pigs, sheep are called meat sheep, and chickens are called broiler chickens.
"I see!"
Listening to Beech's narration, Luo Xiaofang and Li Guoqing nodded thoughtfully. But now is not the time to listen to the story, and several people's stomachs have already begun to crow in unison.
"Let's eat! Let's eat! ”
"It's moving!"
"Everyone has worked hard, let's start eating!"
The three of them picked up chopsticks and bowls and started moving.
"Alas, it smells so good!"
"Not bad, not bad! The soup tastes delicious! ”
"Mushrooms are delicious, where did you get them!"
The taste of the pig is no different from that of ordinary pork, but the two of them have been nibbling on corn and potatoes for the past few days, and there is no oil and water in their stomachs, and they haven't smelled the meat for several days, so this meal is exceptionally sweet.
"Beech, do you know anything about the merchandising ceremony?"
After eating, Luo Xiaoxiang asked Beechy about the competition in the town.
At the mention of the merchant ceremony, Beech's expression couldn't help but become solemn, and he held his head high and thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
"About the merchandising ceremony! The Merchant Ceremony is a very deliberate ceremony! It has been hundreds of years since the establishment of the animal kingdom, because the animals used to live in their own forces, living a life of fighting each other, and everyone's life was not easy. Later, the Lion King unified the animal kingdom and slowly established the country, and at this time everyone's life was a little better.
Later, we found out that human countries are much more prosperous than us, but they are not as powerful as us. We were curious to know why, so we sent emissaries to study in the human kingdom.
When these people came back and told us, we learned that there was an activity called commerce in the human kingdom, which allowed merchants to trade with each other in various towns and trade with each other for all kinds of necessary things, which could lead to economic prosperity.
So, more than twenty years ago. The animal kingdom began to hold trade ceremonies, emulating the human kingdom and using trade ceremonies to invigorate its economy. Animals that perform well in merchandising ceremonies are eligible to run for various official positions. Our mayor, our king, have been among the best performers in the previous merchant ceremonies. ”
Luo Xiaofang didn't know this history, but after listening to Beechcraft's words, Luo Xiaofang really realized the importance of the merchant ceremony to the entire animal kingdom and each contestant.
In fact, this is a draft, a political draft. Animals that perform well can not only gain high prestige but also lead the kingdom's economy to glory. You can also become the leader of each town or city, or the leader of a kingdom, so everyone takes this event so seriously.
"So, what do you need to participate in this event?" Luo Xiaofang asked again.
"To participate in this event, you need to raise at least 10 gold coins as a condition for registration. In addition, each participant can have five champions to assist in the competition. ”
"10 gold coins of start-up capital!"
