"This one over here is a little higher, yes, it's this lantern over here. ”

On Crescent Island, Donner and some people hung the lanterns on the trees and houses on the island.

Although Crescent Island is not rich in materials, it is not difficult to make lanterns, and the wooden strips are linked together to make a rectangle, which is a lantern frame.

Because there was no paper, it was difficult for Donner to have a luxury, using a silk cloth with good light transmission to cover the outside of the lantern frame.

The silk cloths were originally white, and Donner used dye to dye them all red.

The lantern must be red, and it looks festive.

A group of children followed Donner to play, and more than a hundred fiery red lanterns were hung in various places on the island one by one, and the festive atmosphere in the Crescent Island gradually permeated.

The inhabitants of the island were also very curious, and they were very curious about these lanterns that they had never seen before, and they pointed at them, and their faces bloomed with smiles that they had never seen before.

Looking at all this, Donner felt that it was all very meaningful and worth it.

Theodore and the three were allowed to roam freely on the island, but were accompanied by pirates arranged by Donner.

Lislu was still dressed as a man, she watched Donner busy from a distance, and asked the magician beside her curiously, "Teacher, what are these red things, and why are the pirates hanging them?"

Morey shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Lislu was amazed that her magician teacher was a knowledgeable person in her eyes, and even he didn't know what such a thing was.

"Butler Theodore, do you know?" asked Lislu.

Theodore shook his head in the same way: "Miss, the old slave doesn't know either." ”

Downer said that these were lanterns to celebrate the arrival of Peace Day and the Feast of God. The pirate who was spying on them couldn't help but show off.

In their opinion, even nobles and magicians don't know things, Donner can do it, it's so powerful, even with these pirates there is an inexplicable sense of pride.

"Lantern!" Lislu said the words.

"Yes, it's lanterns, it's something that only Downer has in his hometown. ”

"Donner's hometown?" asked Theodore, "He's not from your Crescent Island?"

"yes, why not?" said the pirate curiously, "but he only brought us to the pirate group two months ago." ”

Theodore sighed, and secretly remembered in his heart: "He used to be a slave, right? I see he has a slave mark on his face." ”

"Yes......" The pirate nodded, ready to continue answering, but was interrupted by another pirate.

"Why talk so much to this hateful nobleman! If it weren't for Donner's orders, they should have been sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. ”

When Theodore heard this, his face was full of innocence.

......

As the sun went down and the sky darkened, the oil lamps inside the lanterns were lit.

The flame of the oil lamp illuminated the fiery red lantern extremely red, and the red light emitted by more than a hundred lanterns spread in the Crescent Island, like a fiery red dragon.

"It's so beautiful! as beautiful as the stars in the sky. Anna followed Donner with a plate of skewered meat.

Donner smiled and didn't speak, the conditions on Crescent Island were still too simple, and there was not enough time, otherwise he could have arranged it more beautifully, which made the inhabitants of the island even more surprised.

For today's Christmas Eve banquet on Crescent Island, Donner has done a lot of preparation work in the past two days.

In addition to catching a lot of fish from the sea, people also hunted a lot of game from the mountains. Donner chose two of these game meats, sliced them all into skewers, and prepared the other two for the whole barbecue.

More than a dozen oak barrels were brought out by the pirates, all rum bought from the Isle of Grand. There are piles of wood in the open space on the island where wheat is dried, and a few newly made barbecues and some long wooden tables are placed around the perimeter. Bread and meat skewers are placed on wooden tables.

It was dark, the bonfires were lit, and the inhabitants of the island had long been notified by the Donner, and they began to walk out of the houses in pairs.

They were all dressed in their new clothes, surrounded by playful children, and Donner's campfire dinner party made them feel a little more curious.

A thought came to their minds, it turned out that Christmas Eve could be spent like this.

Donner and the pirates arranged the inhabitants around the campfire, forming a circle.

Donner took a general look, only Alan and a few people did not come, and the other residents had already gathered here, including Jasmine, who had just lost her father.

Donner instructed Matthew to put the slaughtered game on the fire, the crockpots contributed by the residents began to fill the rum cups, and the meat skewers and seafood on the barbecue grill slowly wafted into the aroma.

Donner asked Mike and the others to distribute the rum glass by glass, and after everyone had a glass of wine in their hands, he picked up the glass and said loudly: "Today is Christmas Eve, the first glass of wine, we respect ourselves and wish everyone a happy holiday, come, cheers!"

Everyone is very curious, and on Christmas Eve, everyone prays to the goddess at home for a safe and quiet year, and then they can enjoy food.

The inhabitants, pirates, and others, including Theodore, all raised their glasses, and they followed the example of Donner, shouting cheers, and pouring rum into their mouths.

The pre-arranged pirate once again filled the crockpot glass in the resident's hand with a second glass of wine, and Donner raised the glass again and said, "Second wine." ”

"May the wheat be abundant and the barn full of rats!"

The inhabitants shouted out the prayer they had ever made to the goddess, the best wish that each of them had fantasized about countless times.

Donner's nose suddenly felt sour when he heard this with his wine glass, he had never thought that the wishes of the inhabitants of the island were so simple.

May the wheat be abundant and the barn full of mice.

Probably for them, not being hungry is probably the happiest thing!

"Brother Donner, are these things edible?" Several children gathered around the barbecue grill, and the aroma of the meat skewers made them swallow their saliva.

Donald laughed and said, "Of course, these are for you!"

There were pirates fiddling with the skewers by the barbecue, and because of the time, Donner could only tell them how to barbecue the skewers, and he couldn't guarantee the taste.

Donner walked over, picked up the skewers and flipped them on the charcoal iron rack, and placed some spices next to them, he chose one of them, sprinkled them on the skewers that had been grilled to a golden brown, and said to the residents: "You can see clearly, you can eat whatever you want." ”

"These things next to them are spices, and they taste better when sprinkled on meat skewers, so everyone can try them. As he spoke, he distributed the cooked meat skewers in his hand to the salivating little ones beside him.

The little ones were not afraid of being hot, so they stuffed it into their mouths, swallowed it into their stomachs in three or two times, and looked at Donner with blank eyes, making Donner look helpless.

Barbecue is difficult to say, easy to say, and some pirates and residents have also begun to try their own barbecue.

Donner watched everyone laugh and raise his glass, he always felt that something was missing, he thought about it seriously, and then said loudly: "Shall I sing a song to everyone!"
