Chapter 34 The exhibition of the moon begins
The Earth Goddess Festival is the biggest festival of the year in the Far East, and in celebration of the harvest, orc tribes take a three-day break from their work to celebrate the harvest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Due to the vast size of the Far East, the goddess sacrifices were not held in the same place.
After all, one Far East has a large number of tribes, more than 200, and the other is geographically different, so it is indeed difficult to gather together.
Therefore, the goddess sacrifice is divided into three occasions according to the region: north, east, and west.
The goddess festival that Blackfire Castle participated in was the one on the east side, and the scale ranked last among the three major goddess festivals.
This end is of course a huge celebration with more than 50 tribes participating in the other two, which is quite large.
The east side of the goddess festival is located in an open valley at the corner of the Blackwater River, about 180 kilometers away from the Black Fire Castle.
With its wide view and flat terrain, it can accommodate thousands of people for celebrations, and has long been regarded as a sacred place by Far Easterners.
The way of celebration is that each tribe takes out the more representative products harvested in the year, shares them with other tribes, and holds some large-scale entertainment activities, singing and dancing.
This was really no different from the expo in Lin Ye's memory, so after he learned about the goddess sacrifice, he immediately labeled it as an expo.
"I think the only difference from the Human Exposition is the head on my shoulder, how do I feel that these orcs look at us in a strange way, like a gorilla in a zoo?"
The stares cast by the orcs around him were really not very friendly.
They set out early yesterday morning with 20 barrels of wine, drove for a whole day and a night, and finally arrived at the venue this morning.
Only 2000 kg of 20 barrels of wine, this is just less than 4 days of beer production at Blackfire Castle.
It was very troublesome to transport the beer to the venue 180 kilometers away, and Lin Ye only planned to bring some samples this time.
If you bring too much at once, you will lower the value of beer before it is accepted in the Far East.
After all, scarcity is expensive.
"Lord Duke, let me remind you that the Earth Goddess Sacrifice is a festival of orcs, and humans have not participated in it for decades, and the tribes of the Far East have always looked down on humans, so you must be mentally prepared. Luffy Ash reminded in a low voice.
This time, the Gray Wolf Tribe, the Black Dog Tribe, and the Black Fire Castle participated in this Earth Goddess Festival.
The two old patriarchs, Lufu Gray and Demuhei, originally proposed that they should come forward to sell beer, and it was purely boring for humans to come to the goddess sacrifice.
However, Lin Ye did not agree, although he could fully foresee the cold reception that would be received at the goddess sacrifice, but the sale of beer would be a very historic event for the Far East, and the sellers would establish a huge influence in the Far East as long as they grasped the heat.
He wouldn't give up the opportunity to make a name for himself in Blackfire Castle to the two tribes of Gray Wolf and Black Dog.
Moreover, he didn't think that with the ability of the two old patriarchs, he could maximize the influence of this sales, and he had to do it himself.
"Don't worry, it may be very difficult, but as long as you get a satisfactory result. Lin Ye smiled.
They placed the point of sale of beer in the middle of the right side of the Goddess Square.
This location is very good, after all, they came earlier than the other orcs, and the orcs did not have the habit of occupying a place in advance, and under the instruction of Lin Ye, Luffy Ash bribed an administrator in the square, which only obtained this unique position.
There were a total of 13 people in their sales point, of which Lancelot was the only human besides Lin Ye, and he was not armed.
Carrying a weapon at a goddess festival is disrespectful to the goddess of the earth and will offend the wrath of the people.
Lancelot had proposed to bring more soldiers to meet outside, otherwise the safety of the Duke would not be guaranteed, but Lin Ye shook his head and vetoed.
They are here to do business, not to fight and make trouble, if something really happens, more than 50 tribes are present in the battle, and the strength of the Black Fire Fort is not enough for others to stuff their teeth, so the two of them are enough.
The remaining 11 people are young men from two tribes, including Lufu Gray and Demuhei, who are responsible for the transportation of beer.
The cooking of crayfish was originally intended for Lin Ye to be in charge of himself, but Lancelot said that this kind of thing could not be done by the Duke under any circumstances.
So he took the initiative to ask for it, and Lin Ye taught him the cooking techniques, and Lin Ye tried it once before leaving.
The effect was very good, and he immediately felt that Lancelot had such a talent in cooking.
It's really condescending to be a knight!
This embarrassed Lancelot.
"Let's take a look, the secret jerky of our weasel tribe, you will definitely want to eat a second piece, come and see." ”
"This is the holy fruit cultivated by our rattlesnake tribe, which cures all diseases and prolongs life after eating. ”
"The straw hats made by our barbarian tribe are of high quality, which can shade the sun and rain when working, which is a good thing. ”
The stalls of various tribes in the square are hawking and selling their products.
Many orc men and women looked curiously between the stalls, lingering, according to Lin Ye's visual observation, in just one hour, the flow of orcs shuttling through the square reached thousands of people.
This is obviously not worth mentioning compared to the modern world metropolis where he has lived.
But you must know that in the Miracle Continent, a dukedom can have a population of tens of thousands, and its strength should not be underestimated.
The orc population of the various tribes in the Far East is usually maintained at around 200 to 1,000.
It is already very prosperous to have the current flow of people.
"Sir, shall we just sit and not advertise our beer?" Lancelot looked at the Duke in bewilderment.
After they set up the point of sale, there was no publicity, and from time to time orcs passed by their stalls, and they only glanced at them with disdain, and even spat at them, let alone came to inquire.
With the passage of time, Lancelot seemed a little anxious, for this goddess sacrifice, the entire Black Fire Castle had been preparing for more than 3 months.
"Lancelot, there is an old saying that 'the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys', so don't be nervous, just wait quietly. Lin Ye smiled slightly, he had done many sales planning for the company before, and he was well versed in the essence of sales.
He doesn't need to take the initiative to advertise now, because he knows that someone will soon come to his door and take the initiative to advertise for them.
Lancelot nodded thoughtfully, but Luffy Grey and Demu Black were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
They paced anxiously back and forth, glaring at the little duke from time to time.
They have invested in these beers, and if they end up empty-handed, they will not be able to explain to the tribe.
As it approached noon, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the two of them wanted to open a barrel of beer to quench their thirst, but Lin Ye stopped them.
"We shouldn't have lost all our money, right? We were all fooled by that hateful boy and signed that shareholding agreement, and now I regret it so much that my intestines are blue. Even if we can't sell it, we can drink it ourselves. Luffy grumbled in a frenzy.
"Two humans are here, and the people from the other tribes are already thankful that they don't come to make trouble, and they still expect to sell it?, it's too much, oops, the people from the lizard tribe are here, and they want something bad!" De Muhei looked ahead and gritted his teeth.
A group of lizardmen made a beeline for the point of sale with the sign of "Black Fire Beer".
The comer is not good!
