Chapter 589: Induction (I)
It is a large city located in the northern lands. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Xavigo, but for some reason, the capital was moved, but the tradition of skiing that had been left over thousands of years was not transferred to the new capital.
can
On the contrary, in this former capital, it has been passed down year after year.
Skiing in the snow capital has only been terminated a few times in thousands of years, and the reason is that it is a very serious war.
And every time skiing is reopened, in order to show the prestige of the country, and at the same time, in order to let the people forget the pain, the skiing activities will be more grand and prosperous than in previous years.
This year is no exception, the demon disaster in the past few years, the people are panicking, fortunately this year, the situation has been reversed, the demon is finally going to be expelled, people are happy, it can be said, the whole country celebrates.
Queen Dai Beini is not a faint king, so she naturally knows it. The festival is held at this time, and what kind of beneficial influence can it have.
She has been preparing for this event since a few months ago, and it is important to make this year's skiing sport impressive.
Velvet Flower Town, is a small town, mainly composed of some hunters and merchants, usually do business with guests, however, usually there are not many guests, only to the annual skiing before and after a few months, here will reach the peak season of business.
Fortunately, they are all their own houses, and nothing will be wasted if they are empty. When the weather turns colder, the guests get more than one. The money earned every month is enough for the family to spend for a year, and it is also cost-effective.
Last night, there was a guest in the store, it was a young man, well-dressed, very handsome, that look, at first glance, it should not be an ordinary poor person, asked what he was doing, the other party just smiled and said that it was the little master of a caravan.
Seeing his appearance, the shopkeeper also believed it. Being able to manage things at such a young age is enough to show that the other party is a capable person.
When I came, it was snowing lightly outside, and the carriage business was booming because of skiing.
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man of medium build. A face, always smiling, looks very festive, and is also a good person, at that time, when I saw the young man walking on foot, I felt some sympathy. Not only quickly vacated the room for each other. I even boiled a big pot of soup for free and sent it over.
When he entered, the young man's face was as usual, and he didn't show any signs of cold, but he still kept the soup behind.
"Do you say, did the young man of yesterday get up now? Could it be, "Sick with a cold?" Early in the morning, the shopkeeper gets up early. I cleaned up the restaurant in front of me, and at the same time, I came with my wife.
"Probably not, I saw him come in. Not as afraid of the cold as others may be tired of walking The shopkeeper s wife thought about it and said.
"They are all strangers, and they don't understand how fierce the wind and snow here are, how fast the weather here is cold, and it's not good to freeze. You can't do it for the sake of watching the event, and you can't break your body, right? As the shopkeeper got to work, he muttered, "But the annual skiing is a nice thing, and you say how many people have arrived here this month alone?" ”
As the shopkeeper said this, he held out five fingers.
"Five hundred?. The owner's wife replied casually, in fact, this is deliberately teasing her old man!
The shopkeeper glanced at her and shook his head: "It's five thousand, at least five thousand people have arrived here."
"I don't know that? really, isn't that teasing you?" the shopkeeper's wife gave him a blank look. said, and then, greeted the young man who came down from upstairs: "Get up so early?."
"It's not early, the sun is out. This young man, of course, is Romon and he smiled faintly.
"Young man, can you eat something? The shopkeeper asked with a smile as he made the cakes.
It had been a long time since Romon had been to such a civilian inn, and smelling the aroma of pancakes wafting in the fresh air, he said without thinking, "Bring me five pancakes first, and then a bowl of broth." ”
"Okay, wait a minute, it'll be out of the pot soon. The shopkeeper said, the fragrant pancakes that will be made. It was placed in a large box that had been prepared for a long time. Meantime. He took out five steaming pancakes, put them on a white plate, and filled a can of broth, put them together in a tray, and served them.
"Come, try my craft Watching the young man put the pancakes in his mouth, the boss said with great anticipation.
"Well, the taste is really good, take a bite, and the feeling of fragrant smell. Makes Romon eat very happily.
At this time, in October, but the weather outside is almost the same as winter, although the business in the store has already opened, so early. But few of the guests were able to get up.
Some of the reservations made by the shopkeeper in advance had already been completed, and there was nothing left to do, so Romon invited the shopkeeper to sit opposite him and chat with him.
"My name is Romon yet, I haven't asked you what to call it?" Romon finished drinking the last one and finally patted his stomach with satisfaction. He tasted this kind of civilian food in the middle of the monkey, and now he eats it again, this feeling is really a bit beautiful.
The shopkeeper said very boldly: "My name is Harvey, and many young people call me Uncle Harvey, if you don't dislike it, call me that!"
When Luo Xi heard this, the smile on his face became thicker: "Okay, then I will call you Uncle Harvey in the future." ”
"As for my wife, if you call her Aunt Harvey, she will soar, she is such an old person, and she doesn't accept old age at all. Glancing behind him, Uncle Harvey spoke to Romon in a voice.
The shopkeeper with such a personality made Luo Meng's mood very relaxed: "Well, then what should I call her in the future?"
"Young man, don't listen to this old fellow's arrangement of me, and you can call me Aunt Harvey in the future. "Who knew that the shopkeeper's wife had very good ears. Suddenly heard her husband's words, just walked over, and glared at her husband fiercely while cleaning up the dishes in front of Luo Meng.
"What a fierce woman. Uncle Harvey said this, but there was a smile in his eyes. "That's right, lad. You said yesterday. I came here to see the skiing activities. Right?"
, Wang Fabi North
"Yes, Uncle Harvey. Romon nodded.
"It's just that it's only October, and the snow won't fall until November, and the competition won't be held until December, when the snow has fallen enough, and there will be such a long time, can you?" The owner, Harvey, explained the division of the dates.
"Uncle, don't worry, I've been on vacation for the past few months, and it's not in the way. The other party's concern made Romon smile.
"In that case, you should stay here, and in a few days, the shops will be slowly filled, and it will be very difficult to find a suitable hotel, so it is better to come two months early. Harvey, the owner, said.
"Yes!" Romon nodded, but he didn't make up his mind whether to live in the small shop.
It's very close to the city, a dozen minutes away. It is the gate of the city, which is convenient, but according to the past accommodation habits, Romon still prefers to choose a relatively comfortable location in the choice of a place to live for a long time.
However, the size of this inn is not too bad, and the owner is very hospitable, and Romon chatted with him for a while, feeling very comfortable, so he was a little hesitant.
Because it was okay to stay, Romon had a casual chat with the shopkeeper in front of him all morning. Near noon, a few people walked in from outside, carrying two large buckets, which were constantly bubbling outward, as if they were filled with water.
There should be a lot of living creatures in the water, and the splashing water is constantly splashing.
"Uncle Harvey. What kind of shrimp is this?" Romon approached to watch.
I saw two large buckets with a lot of beautiful shrimp swimming.
Their appearance is completely different from what Romon has seen before, they are more crystal clear and more beautiful.
"It's ice shrimp. Uncle Harvey, the owner, smiled and said, "Young man, you haven't eaten this kind of shrimp, have you?" Let me tell you, this is a rare delicacy, it is a shrimp from the ice sea further north, and the meat is extremely delicious. If you look closely, when they are swimming, there are Xiaoice ballast in the surrounding water. It is because of this trait. And their special growing environment gives them a unique taste. ”
Luo Meng looked really good, and saw that Luo Meng was a little curious. The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I will make a few ice shrimp dishes at noon, and when the time comes, you can taste it." ”
"Okay.
Romon gladly complied.
Originally, Romon was just a little curious about new things, but after he ate a few dishes recommended by his boss, especially the shrimp he cooked. Immediately he felt that he was really feasting, and Romon liked the delicious feeling very much. I immediately made up my mind and stayed in this store this time.
In the evening, Romon relieved his tiredness and began his routine meditation.
Even with Shennongjiao, Luo Meng's daily meditation is not at all.
At this time, the night was already deep, it was quiet outside, and the people in the neighborhood had fallen asleep early, and Romon sat cross-legged on the bed and gradually entered a meditative state.
The elements of the earth, the elements of fire. The element of water" Romon felt that the elements of earth and water were the strongest here.
Sporadic wind element. Hovering around, a kind of call that he had felt before actually appeared more than half an hour after he had entered this meditative state.
"There it was again. Romon struggled to feel. But the induction was not so clear, but what he could already determine was that this call was nearby, there was no doubt about it.
An hour later, Romon stood up and pondered, "It seems that you have to wait for your level to further improve in order to get a clearer sense, and before that, let's stay here!"
