Chapter 153: The Festival of the Snow Moon
"That's good, can you tell me what kind of tune this is?" asked Shelley, blinking his eyes wide. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info She was sitting on a bench with her calves dangling.
"Really?" asked Alan softly, then continued to play with the poem, "This is a piece written by my mother to my deceased father, and it has no name. ”
The girl's smile stopped abruptly, and her swaying calves stopped. "I'm sorry....." she said, "I ....."
Alan shook his head. Then, he closed his eyes, and the image of his mother came to his mind.
"Hey!"
A familiar shout pulled Eren out of his memory. In his panic, he plucked the wrong chord, and the awkward chord sound made Shelley, who was also with his eyes closed, frown.
The two of them looked up and saw a bald head touching his head, staring at them with a smile on his face.
"Is it over?" exclaimed Sersi, "today is Karta's annual Snow Moon Festival, and after today, the snow will be far away from us!"
"Damn—" Alan stopped playing, glared and stood up, "aren't you from Nippur? What does the festival of Karta have to do with you? What are you jubilating here?"
"The current lord of Konipur is Kenny!" Selsi said rightly, "Today, it is the first Snow Moon Festival in the history of Nippur, and isn't it worth celebrating as a legal holiday promulgated by the lord himself?"
"But the manipulators behind the living dead have not yet been found. Alan frowned heavily.
"Don't mention this, man!" Selsi scratched his nose thoughtfully, "The lord cooked himself today and made Karta's unique stonefish pie!" he licked his greasy mouth and closed his eyes in satisfaction, "I just secretly tasted a piece, and that taste..... Is..... Ah.....h
"Alan?" Shelley stretched out his delicate hand and shook it in front of the man's eyes, "What's wrong?"
Alan shook his head, then raised his eyebrows. "Nothing, a little homesick. He smiled and took the girl's hand, "Go, go and try your hand at the beard, trust me, it's going to be the best pie you've ever tasted." ”
"Have you tasted it?" asked Sersi curiously, following the steps of the two.
"Before I met you!"
Kenny nodded in satisfaction, staring at the masterpiece in the cauldron in front of him.
Steaming hot, bubbling with churning sauces and lapels of pies on a stone pot, Karta's traditional pie is palm-sized and chewy.
This is his grandmother's craft, which was later passed on to his mother, who made him this stonefish pie every year after his mother's death, and Kenny later taught it to Nina.....
"Look, the new lord of Nipur has become a cook!"
Laughter echoed the huge kitchen.
Kenny turned around and saw Alan pushing the door open.
"What are you looking at me for?" Alan raised his eyebrows, "Are you done?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't do your part!" Kenny said, displeased as he lifted the lid of the cauldron.
"Lord, I support your decision, especially this one!" Sersi was the first to raise his hand, "Poisonous tongue, you shouldn't enjoy such a delicacy!"
Alan punched Sersi lightly. "The stealer has the right to eat?"
"Damn!" Kenny lifted the lid again, "I always felt something was wrong, it was missing a piece!" he waved his hand away from the heat in front of him, lowered his head and counted. "Sersi, your head is very useful when stealing food, and after stealing, you can still think of moving the leftover pie and spreading the missing vacancies!"
"Hahaha-"
Alan and Shelley laughed, and Sersi scratched the back of her head with embarrassed eyes.
"Hey, guys, what are you laughing at?"
Mio walked in and stretched. He was dressed in a strange thin shirt, the wide robe covering the two wings behind his back, and from behind, it looked like he was carrying a heavy shield wrapped in bandages. But from the front of him, no one would notice that he was a winged alien.
"This dress is a perfect match for you!" Alan tugged at one of Mio's sleeves and looked at it, "Where did it come from?"
"I just did it yesterday!" said Miou, smugly, "in a tailor's shop north of the city, and it cost seventy silver coins, and Shelley and I are with you!"
"Seventy silver coins?" Sercy's eyes widened, "Damn!" he stepped forward and picked up Mio's thin shirt and looked at it, "Just this one?seventy silver coins?
"Take your hand away!" Mio grumbled dissatisfiedly, "This is a special one! Not to mention, there is also the boss's hush money in seventy silver coins, and you want all Nipurians to know that Lord Kenny has taken in an alien and is still in Morwinburg!"
"Where did you get the seventy silver coins?" asked Allen, puzzled.
"She gave it!" said Mio, gesturing to Shelley, who was standing nearby.
"That gold coin is for you to buy medicine to replenish your body. Alan turned to look at Shelley.
"But Mio needs it. Shelley stuck out his tongue, "In the illusion, he kept muttering about making a garment that would hide his wings." At first, I tried to make a few things for him, but they all failed. She paced behind Mio and patted the 'bandaged shield', "Seventy silver coins are not wronged, at least Mio will be like us in the future, and will not have to suffer the strange eyes of passers-by, right?"
"Thank you!" said Mio, smiling, "by the way, where have you been since you left the tailor's shop yesterday?" ”
Shelley was stunned for a moment, then pursed the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "I'm back early." ”
"But seventy gold coins is still too expensive, and the heart of the owner of the tailor's shop must be black!" Selsi muttered.
"It's only seventy silver coins.....
The crowd turned to look at Kenny, who was talking by the stove.
"What am I talking about..... Isn't that right?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Alan scratched his nose, "It's just that this sentence is coming out of your mouth, it's a little strange." ”
"Today is the Snow Moon Festival. Kenny shrugged, "This tradition has been around for nearly a hundred years, and on this day in previous years, both the citizens of Karta and the nobles would stop their work and enjoy the annual leisure time. The rich will give out free food in the streets, the children will get new clothes, and friends will give gifts to each other!" He turned to look at Mio, "That dress, even if I gave you a gift for the Snow Moon Festival!"
"That's great!" exclaimed Allen, "the other day I had my eye on a scabbard made of black walnut and delicate vine carvings in the smithy, and the craftsman had set gems of various sizes on it, but the price was ......"
"Oh....." Kenny nodded, "but I've got your gift ready." ”
"Lord!" Sersi straightened up, "my silver ratskin armor is torn, all because ....."
"Yours and I'm ready. Kenny interrupted.
"Really?" exclaimed Allen, with excitement on his face, "Take it out and show me!"
Kenny smiled and opened the cauldron beside him. (To be continued.) )
