Chapter 140: Two Shoots (End of Volume 1)

As an elven elder who has lived in this world for more than three hundred years, Elucia undoubtedly possesses great wisdom and foresight, as well as a clear understanding of the world.

In fact, even if she didn't have a conversation with Xu Yi, she had already discovered the problems encountered by the elves.

It's just that Xu Yi's appearance gave her a good opportunity to implement her ideas.

So after a long conversation between Xu Yi and Elder Elucia, it was easy to determine the cooperative relationship between the two sides.

In the initial cooperation between the two parties, Xu also set out to help the Yesong tribe solve the water problem.

Xu Yi's initial plan was to build a dam upstream of the river that flows through the Rainfall Forest, and at the same time desilt the downstream river to eventually re-dredge the entire river.

This is a big project, and it will take a lot of time to complete it even on a technologically advanced earth, and it is naturally not so easy on the continent of Sainz.

And this time, in order to manage the river well, Xu also decided to ask the Amritri Chamber of Commerce, which was in charge of the project, to use the reinforced concrete technology he had just learned from him to build a stronger dam and strengthen the embankment.

According to estimates, as long as this project can be completed, the river will not have to worry about being diverted for at least 100 years.

This project costs a lot of money, and the Night Song Tribe naturally can't come up with that much money.

Correspondingly, the Yesong tribe began to conduct research on resin-related materials according to Xu Yi's requirements, and at the same time began to collect a large amount of resin, and when the large-scale resin smelting furnace developed by Xu Yi and the Yege tribe was completed, they would begin to produce various resin materials in large quantities for the use of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

As for Yanis's request to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Because of Xu Yi's mentions, Yanis did not become Xu Yi's slave. So in Elder Elucia's view, this requirement did not count as a reward at all.

On the surface, repairing river embankments and dredging rivers is costly. According to Xu Yi's preliminary estimate, even if this river is not large, it will consume more than 100,000 gold coins at the very least, and the reward given by the Night Song Tribe is undoubtedly a bit insufficient.

However, in the long run, mastering the resin material process is of great significance to the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, it can be regarded as opening up a new point of interest, and thus gaining a good cooperative relationship with the Yesong tribe.

Overall, in fact, it is the new flying chamber of commerce that is more profitable.

Xu Yi, Steele, and Vivien stayed in the Nightsong Tribe for three days. After Xu Ye fully explained his various requirements for resin material research to the elves, he set off and left.

Because Annis wanted to stay in the tribe for the New Year, when she left, Annis just sent the three of them out of the Rain Forest and then to the Angolan tribe, and then turned and left.

And since today is the 30th of December, the last day of the year, I didn't stay in the Angolan tribe at all for three days, but just said hello to the Patriarch of Monto, the Patriarch Sluby, and the dwarves such as Camby and so on. Then he hurriedly re-drove the carriage and galloped all the way back to the city of Bonta.

When we arrived at Bonta City, it was already approaching dusk, and when we entered Bonta City. The three of them found that Bonta City was particularly lively today, and the windows of every house were already shining brightly, and all kinds of noisy sounds could be heard from it. It looks very lively.

It seems that it doesn't matter if it's on Earth or the Sainz continent. No matter what the world is, welcoming the New Year is a very important thing. It's also a good time for family reunions.

Looking at Xu Yi's side face looking at the side of the road, Steele couldn't help but open his mouth again: "Xu Yi, you still go to my house with Vivian for the New Year, right? Of course, grandpa needless to say, parents must also welcome you and Vivian very much." If you go, they will be very happy. It's better than you and Vivien being cold, right?"

Xu Yi turned his head to look at Steele, smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No need." Steele, I appreciate your kindness. But welcoming the New Year is a very important thing, according to the rules of our hometown, the last day before the New Year must be spent in your own home, so I will not go to your house to disturb. Besides, I'll go to your house early tomorrow morning to congratulate your grandfather on the New Year, but we just haven't seen each other for one night. ”

Steele's face flushed slightly, and he muttered, "I didn't have to see you to let you go......"

The carriage soon arrived at the door of Steele's house, and when Steele jumped out of the carriage, Xu Yi did not mean to go in to visit, waved to Steele, and drove Vivian straight back to his rented house.

Looking at this rented house that he had rented for half a year and had forgotten to change, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.

It seems that his fourth New Year in this world is going to be spent in this very shabby small room.

Although there were only two people with Vivian, Xu Yi still decided to make a hearty enough dish.

In addition to Vivian's main responsibility for making a few dishes of zuΓ², Xu Yi also relied on his memory to make some common dishes on the earth that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Although Xu Yi had never cooked on earth before, these dishes were miserable, but even if they were unpalatable, Xu Yi and Vivian were still very happy.

Although the lively Cheng dΓΉ is a little worse than other families, but with Xu Yi's efforts to be funny, the atmosphere is not bad at all.

The only deficiency may be that there is no TV in this world, and there is no Spring Festival Gala that Xu Yi rarely watches every year.

Compared with Xu Yi's slight loss, Vivian was sincerely happy.

Because not long after she was born, her parents, who were also slaves, died in the famine in the Lampari Kingdom for more than ten years, so Vivien had no impression of her family since she was a child, and she never had any memories of spending the New Year with her family.

In her fifteen years of life, the first fourteen years alone had made her do her best.

If she hadn't met Xu Yi and was bought by Xu Yi, she wouldn't have enough food, warm clothes, and being able to go to school to learn knowledge like she has now, and she might even die suddenly.

So on this night, I was able to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Xu Yi, my favorite host. Happily accompanying Xu Yi and shouting recklessly is already her greatest happiness.

After eating. Xu Yi looked at the night sky outside with countless starlight, and suddenly became interested. Go out for a walk to Vivian.

Of course, Vivian would not go against his will, and quickly put on the coat of Xu Yi, who was already slightly drunk, and wanted to clean up the mess on the table, but Xu Yi waved his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry about it so much today, just relax and be happy. ”

So Vivian smiled and hugged one of Xu Yi's arms, and the two left the rental room and strolled around Bonta City at night.

Or maybe it was because he was a little drunk, Xu Yi pointed to the children running around the street and said to Vivian when he was a child. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he will definitely play around with firecrackers, and once burned a pile of straw because of playing with firecrackers, for which he was severely beaten.

After a while, he raised his head and pointed to the stars in the sky, and said to Vivian that in his hometown, there is one of the most recognizable constellations in the winter sky, called Orion. Among them, three stars are connected in a straight line, which is the belt of Orion.

After a while, his expression was gloomy, and he even said with tears in his eyes. It's the fourth New Year he's not spent with his family, and now he misses his parents and doesn't know if they're doing well.

A while......

......

Vivian hugged Xu Yi and silently listened to the nouns that kept popping out of his mouth that she had never heard before. The doubts in my heart are getting deeper and deeper.

What are firecrackers?

Why does the owner say that there is a constellation Orion in the starry sky of his hometown?

Since the owner misses his parents so much, why doesn't he go back?

......

Questions arose in Vivien's mind, but she wasn't going to ask. Because she knew very well that the master just needed to talk now.

Just strolling along while idle. Before they knew it, the two had left Bunta City. Walked to the factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the western suburbs of the city.

It's New Year's Eve, and the two factories are silent, except for the magic lamp in the magic machine tool workshop, which is lit by two bachelors who Xu Ye specially hired to guard the factory, the rest of the place is plunged into darkness.

Xu Yi didn't disturb the thoughts of the two guards, standing in the open space outside the factory, looking at the two small workshops in the dark, and sighed in his heart.

Although both workshops are small, they represent the germ of a dream in his heart.

Although it seems that they are just two sprouts now, with the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the gradual acceptance and attention of the people on the Sainz continent to the magic industry, these two shoots will grow into towering giant trees sooner or later.

In the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure coming out of the corner of the household magic machinery production workshop, Xu Yi was shocked, and was about to shout, but suddenly found that the figure felt very familiar, and when he looked at it, Xu Yi smiled dumbly.

"Hey, Heinze, why don't you accompany Sister-in-law Rhea at home today, what are you doing here?" Xu Yi greeted the figure in a low voice.

The figure was startled, looked up and looked over, and through a glimmer of light in the workshop, he found that it was Xu Yi and Vivian, and then relaxed.

The figure walked over, and sure enough, it was Heinze.

He glanced at the two of them and asked in a low voice, "I'm a little relieved, so I'll come over to see the situation." But Xu Yi, you and Vivian are not at home to welcome the New Year, why are you here?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to go out for a walk, and naturally I came over. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at the two workshops. "Maybe it's because this place is the most important place in my heart right now, and I can't help but want to come and see it. ”

Heinze nodded slightly: "I'm pretty much the same." To be honest, Xu Yi, half a year ago I was just a small grocery store owner, even if I never dreamed of it, now I have become the majority shareholder of a large chamber of commerce. Many times, when I wake up, I suspect that what I'm experiencing right now is all fake, just my hallucinations. So I came to the factory very early every day to see the factory and see the two workshops with my own eyes. As long as I see them, I feel that I am not living in a dream, and everything I have experienced is real. ”

Seeing Heinze's rare emotion, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "No wonder you look reluctant to leave even when you get off work every day, are you afraid that you will disappear as soon as you leave here?"

Heinze nodded slightly: "Xu Yi, you know that I am not a person with big ambitions, in my opinion, being able to have my current life has made me extremely satisfied, so I cherish what I have now." I'm really afraid that one day these two workshops will disappear into thin air. If that happens, I even feel like I'm going to die of sadness. ”

"Rest assured, this will not happen. Xu Yiyi grabbed Heinze's shoulder and patted him hard: "These two workshops may disappear, because they are too small to support the needs of our chamber of commerce, and what we need is a larger working space like the new workshop." But they disappear, and more production plants will emerge to replace them. You have to believe that with the development of our Chamber of Commerce, the magic industry will spread like a fire on this continent in an instant, and eventually ignite the entire Sainz continent. At that time, the entire Sainz continent will be full of our Chamber of Commerce's factories, and our production workshops will be everywhere, Heinze, can you still see every workshop with your own eyes at that time?"

Heinze's gaze looked at the dark night, but his expression was obviously immersed in Xu Yi's depiction.

After a while, he muttered, "Xu Yi, will what you said become a reality?"

Xu Yi nodded unusually firmly: "Absolutely." Because the magic industry has sprouted on this continent, no one can stop its growth. Sooner or later, our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will create a big magical industrial empire on this continent!"
