Chapter 25: A Feast (1)
It turns out that all the drinking water on Shizhu Island comes from the underground river.
In the city of Shizhu Island, there are a number of large water absorption devices, and after the water is pumped up, it flows into the storage reservoir, and then through the manually dug underground water canals, it is diverted to the reservoirs of each household, and then transported to the roof by manpower to provide daily use.
As for domestic sewage, there are also special drainage tunnels, which are hidden deep in the ground.
The design of this underground tunnel system is exquisite, and the layout is so dense that although it is half heavenly and half artificial, the enormity of the project is also astounding.
Of course, this kind of project is still somewhat inferior to the modern civilization of the previous world in Yuntianjia, but considering the difference in technology and equipment, Shizhu Island can solve such a big problem refreshingly, which is enough to be proud of.
At night, He Xiaoduo sent Ziyan to inform Yun Tianjia, Long Yuandong, He Dali and other six people to come to the courtyard to talk.
When the six people came out of the courtyard, they saw the stars and the moon shining brightly, and the osmanthus flowers were fragrant, and the county lord had not yet arrived.
Zi Yan said with a smile: "The county lord is behind, there is something serious to say, everyone should wait for her to finish the business, and then it's not too late to drink." β
"No matter what is serious, it can't affect Yaxing who drinks!"
A crisp and crisp female voice said: "The beautiful scenery of a good day, how can there be no good wine to help the fun?" I have two jars of 30-year-old Baihua wine here, if I don't drink it today, when will I stay?"
"County Lord!"
"See the county lord!"
The person who came was He Xiaoduo.
She waved her hand slightly and said with a smile: "Don't be polite." Huang Ying, Cui Die, Luo Erniang, Zi Yan, hurry up and put the wine and food on the table!"
According to the instructions, the four women arranged the stone table in the courtyard and stood on the side.
After three rounds of drinking, Long Yuandong provoked the conversation and asked, "The county lord came here in the starry night, just to invite us to drink?"
He Xiaoduo said: "If you really drink like this, it is also a beautiful thing." It's just that if you want to be idle, others want to give you eye medicine, so what can you do?"
He vigorously grabbed a piece of chicken leg and said, "This person is underwhelmed!"
He Xiaoduo said with a smile: "You have all dealt with this person, it is Shi Zhengyang of the Zhongming Empire." He invited all the official students of our Star First Academy to attend the banquet tomorrow at the Chengdong Lookout Tower. β
"That's a good thing, why aren't you upset?"
He Dali was stunned and said: "People are invited, we will go to the banquet, eat and drink for nothing, and we can't ask for it!"
"Do you have a brain?"
Long Yuandong slapped He vigorously and said, "Shizhu Island is our territory, and the county lord is the host." When will it be the turn of that kid from Zhengyang to have a treat? If you want to have a treat, it is also the county lord who comes forward, so it is justifiable. He's stealing the limelight from our county lord, do you understand?"
He vigorously said: "It's just a guest, what kind of limelight is there? If he is willing, I will let him be in the limelight every day!"
Yun Tianjia said: "Hospitality is just a name, and winning over the students of the First Star Academy is his purpose." This banquet was supposed to be presided over by our county lord, but he took the lead. Thinking about it again, whether it is a big thing like running a college or a small thing like a treat, Shi Zhengyang is ahead of us in everything and presses us down. Shi Zhengyang is a person with great ambition and strong ability, and he must attract our attention. β
"Then according to you, should we go to this banquet?" He Xiaoduo said tentatively.
"Participate, of course we have to participate! We don't dare to go to a banquet, it seems too unenergetic. β
Long Yuandong interjected: "Not only do we have to participate, but we also have to fight with Shi Zhengyang, and fight for a fight." Otherwise, in the future, we will be looked down upon not only in the First Star Courtyard, but even in the diplomacy of the Blue Dragon Continent and the entire Star Soul Continent. After all, there are many students in the First Star Academy, but there are many people who can influence the trend of the country. β
"Well, since everyone says so, I know what I know. He Xiaoduo picked up the wine glass and said, "The banquet will start tomorrow afternoon." In the morning, Long Yuandong accompanied me to the palace to greet the emperor. Yun Tianjia can take everyone to the market for a walk and move freely. We'll meet tomorrow afternoon at the Belvedere. β
After everyone drank a few more cups, He Xiaoduo said goodbye and left.
Luo Erniang lagged behind and said with a smile: "Yun Gongzi, do you want your appetizers?"
He vigorously interjected: "What kind of appetizers? and specially reserved for him, it's really eccentric!"
Luo Erniang shook her head: "This snack is not for eating!"
Yun Tianjia touched his skull and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, that little hedgehog, is it okay now?"
"It's good, it's up again. Luo Erniang said: "Unintentionally inserted willows and willows, looking at this, the appetizer is not an ordinary soul beast, and it may come in handy in the future." β
Yun Tianjia said happily: "That's really good, it's worth celebrating! Luo Erniang, you can also have a drink!"
Luo Erniang looked at He Dali with her eyes and smiled: "I won't drink the wine." But I have one more happy event, I don't know if someone is willing to hear it. β
"What are you looking at me for? What joy do I have?"
Yun Tianjia clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Ah, I know, is Luxia in touch with you?"
"Exactly. Not only did she contact me, but she also became the owner of the glass shop. β
It turned out that after Lucia was rescued that day, she followed Yun Tianjia's guidance and went to find Luo Erniang.
Luo Erniang was thinking about how to sell the soul perspective mirror for Yun Tianjia at that time, but she was in the palace and it was inconvenient to go out, and Lu Xia was just bored, with a lot of money that she didn't know where to get, so she hit it off and decided to open a glass hall together, specializing in selling soul perspective mirrors, and also trying to sell some other glass crafts that had been newly developed.
In this glass museum, Luo Erniang is responsible for providing goods, Lucia is responsible for sales, and the two of them each account for half of the shares, and the operation is running smoothly.
Lucia is an idle person, and after she opened the store, she hired a sophisticated shopkeeper, waved her sleeves, and went to play by herself, and did not open the store for ten days and a half months.
However, although Lucia is erratic, when necessary, Luo Erniang has a way to contact her.
"Where's the store?"
"It's on Giant Street in the east of the city, the faΓ§ade is open, and you can see it at a glance. After Luo Erniang finished the news, she smiled at the fat man, and went out after the county lord.
He Dali was laughed at by Luo Erniang, and thought: "In the Yangong Desert before, I was very attentive to Longxinnan, in case Luxia knew, I would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and the scene would not be easy to clean up." β
He thought again: "Only a few of us know about the matter of the Rock Arch Desert, as long as Long Shovel and Yun Tianjia don't tell it, and the others don't know Luxia, naturally they won't say it, so she won't know." β
At the moment, he smiled and flattered Long Yuandong: "Hehe, Lucia, you know what to say and what not to say, right?"
"I'm the one who doesn't like to help others keep secrets. Long Yuandong smiled treacherously: "Unless I have enough benefits!"
"Of course, of course!" He vigorously flattered: "No matter what happens in the future, I will listen to you!"
Long Yuandong laughed, but he was thinking in his heart, what gift to give her when he saw the crescent moon at the banquet tomorrow, what to say, and how to attract her attention.
After getting rid of Long Yuandong, He Dali moved his gaze to Yun Tianjia again.
"I don't say it's just. "Yun Tianjia surrendered voluntarily.
