People from another world have no concept of celebrating the New Year.

They also don't feel that the last day of each year and the first day of a new year have anything to celebrate.

Rather, many civilians living outside of human towns don't even know what the year is, not even the months and days.

Most of the people who can know the time must be the old people in the village who have learned the knowledge - Lu Xi from the earth, who knows that there are 24 solar terms in a year, which correspond to the time suitable for doing various things in a year.

There is no such thing as a solar term song in a different world, and the commoners need to rely on a long time to determine when to plant, or the experience of the elders.

Often literate people are more likely to correspond time to their own experiences, so as to leave them for future generations to refer to, and it is easier to become "village elders" and other identities.

Therefore, they only celebrate two festivals, the first is the first day after the beginning of spring, after the snow has completely melted, the days when crops are planted in the field, which is called the "Snow Free Festival".

Civilians would take the opportunity to hunt a small monster that had come out of hibernation in search of food, and placed it in the center of the village for everyone to eat, as food for the celebration of the "Snow Free Festival" until the planting was over, or the food was eaten up.

Therefore, whether there is enough food to prepare for the "Snow Free Festival" is a very important thing for the civilians, which predicts whether they will have a good harvest in the following year.

Lu Xi listened to Cross report to him about the recent events in Xinwa Village, and learned about the "Snow No Festival", and unexpectedly found that the definition of this "Snow No Festival" about the harvest is quite logical.

Why...... Come to think of it, there is often not much food in the civilian villages, and there is no food source in the winter, so everyone must be hungry for two meals in three days.

If you are too hungry and your body has no strength, you will definitely not be able to catch much prey as food, and if you don't have enough food, you won't be able to eat enough, and if you don't have enough to eat, you won't plant much, and the harvest will definitely not be good.

But if you can catch a lot of prey, and let everyone eat enough for ten days and half a month at the "Snow No Festival", that kind of field work will definitely be more powerful, and if you can open more fields and plant more crops, then the harvest will definitely be higher.

The main thing is that it is unpretentious.

In addition, Lu Xi also found another characteristic of the "No Snow Festival", people in the same village, it must not be the same conditions for every household, some people have more food storage, and some people have less food storage.

The main focus of the "Snow Free Festival" is a resource sharing, where food is placed in the middle of the village, and everyone can eat in a self-service mode...... No matter how poor the family is, in the days of the "Snow Free Festival", they can eat enough, have enough strength to farm and work, and have more opportunities to live.

It's more important than any holiday.

Another festival is the "Harvest Festival", in which after the annual harvest of food, a feast is held in the village to celebrate the harvest of the year.

At the "Harvest Festival", everyone in the village will take out a part of the grain they have harvested and give it to the village chief or village elders, and some of it will be used to hold the "Harvest Festival" celebration, and the other part will be saved for next year's "Snow Free Festival".

If there is a sudden crisis in the village, the stored food will also be taken out to cope with the crisis.

This part is all based on self-consciousness, some people will take out more if they gain more, and some people will take out a little less if they have not gained well.

Because it is related to next year's "Snow No Festival", there will rarely be that kind of selfish person who does not produce any food - the village chief and the village elders are not blind, and anyone can see how much they take.

There is a threat of monsters from the outside world, and the humans living in the village are relatively united, and there is no way not to be united, after all, the people who are driven out of the village alone are almost destined to not survive.

These two festivals are all the festivals of ordinary civilians in the other world, and they are related to survival, and they are only related to survival.

Rather than celebrating a good harvest or harvest, they are celebrating their qualifications to survive in the new year.

In contrast, the nobility and the people living in human towns had more festivals to celebrate.

Lu Xi just heard Anne mention it, and he felt a headache in his head - the festival is different in every human town.

"God-given Day/Covenant Day", the day when humans receive the God-given elemental contract, but due to the confusion of human records, there have been many problems, resulting in two times, July 1st and July 3rd.

Depending on the region, the time of celebration is different, and the "God-given Day/Covenant Festival" in the Earth Elemental Kingdom of Trummini is on July 3rd.

"Kingdom Birthday", each kingdom is different, originally to celebrate the establishment of their respective kingdoms, but I don't know which king started the beginning, so that many countries have a derivative "King's Birthday", everyone wants to celebrate their king's birthday, it is also absurd.

"Castle Day", to be precise, is not a festival, but there will be a few celebrities in every human town, either who have saved a human town in danger, or who have made great contributions to the tide of monsters.

This festival is for them, if it is for the dead, it is for him, and if he is alive, it is for the living.

"Snowmelt Festival" is a festival that appears to celebrate and enjoy the budding flowers in early spring after the snow melts in winter.

During half a month to a month when the snow melts, each household will take out a pot of flowers that are blooming or about to bloom and place them outside the door or in the yard for passers-by to see.

The aristocrats would prepare a banquet in their own garden, inviting guests to admire the beautiful flowers that were cultivated in the greenhouse in winter.

The "Ice Festival", which sounds like a winter festival, is actually a summer festival, and the nobles will spend a lot of money to hire a few ice-attribute elemental mages to freeze their homes into ice to reduce the heat of summer.

Ordinary townspeople can't do this, but they can buy some water basins that have been frozen into ice sculptures from the store and put them at home, the cheap ones can last for a day or two, and the expensive ones can last for ten days and half a month.

At the same time, the city lord will also prepare a large ice rink during the "Ice Festival", and place various ice sculptures for civilians to play and watch, and there are many small vendors selling ice food.

…… All kinds of tricks, and so on.

Compared with the festivals of civilians outside the town, Lu Xi actually wanted to laugh, just one wall, and the two worlds were cut off.

"Miss Lucy, do you have any holiday in mind?" Anne asked, tilting her head.

Lu Xi was silent for a moment, and found that the festival she had most thought about had long passed, and she hadn't even noticed it.

"You take them with you, and prepare for the Snow Free Festival." Lu Xi smiled, but no one could see that there was a lack of interest in her eyes.

Lu Xi quickly used the affairs of the Spirit Farm to dilute the sadness that lingered in his heart.

First, I checked the number of villagers in Xinwa Village, a total of 753 people, and then looked at the proportion of children and the elderly, as well as the number of unmarried young people.

Cross's progress is extremely noticeable, when Anne is also taken away by Miss Lucy and is unable to take care of things, and Granny Rhodia does not want to take care of things.

He, the former village chief of Xinwa Village, had to take over most of the things of this group of new villagers, and only some things that needed to be decided would let Granny Rhodia be in charge.

The villagers' data were also clearly recorded, thanks to his previous experience of working with Miss Lucy in person, and he saw and learned Miss Lucy's management habits.

Clearly classify all kinds of data.

In two months, the houses of more than 700 people have been built and settled, although most of them are a little crowded, but the warm and comfortable houses are no better than anything else.

All that remains is to continue to expand the house and ease the pressure on the housing, which goes without being told, and Cross is already doing it - of course, he doesn't dare to use the reason that "the house is too crowded, I want to build more houses to make everyone more comfortable".

Cross's reasoning to Granny Rhodia was that "Miss Lucy will inevitably have more followers in the future, and if she always relies on tents and makeshift houses to receive those people, she will not be able to match Miss Lucy's status." ”

Granny Rhodia looked at it and directly agreed, and Cross actually really thought so.

In his eyes, Miss Lucy was like a warm sun, shining on everyone equally, and this warmth was enough to make everyone gather towards her like moths to a fire.

So, after the selection, a construction team of hundreds of people was formed, who were more proficient in building houses than the others, and took care of the task full-time.

"Well, very well, make a note, each of them is paid according to their work every day, and it is paid every month." Lu Xi nodded.

"But, Miss Lucy, we are only slaves, and we can do things for you, and we have enough food to ......"

Lu Xi waved his hand and interrupted Cross's words, "You are no longer slaves, I asked Betem to change your slave status." ”

Cross was stunned, he had never heard of the slave status being so easy to change, the slave status in another world was even inherited, and the children of slaves were born slaves.

Only a slave who can climb to the position of the master's cronies can obtain a change in status by virtue of favor and trust, and it is only limited to the person himself.

Lu Xi didn't explain, what to explain, she was the actual ruler of Crowk Town, what order she wanted to issue was a very simple matter, not to mention, changing the slave status of so many people would not affect the interests of others, and no one would stop Lu Xi.

"Yes......" Cross responded with a stirring mood.

Lu Xi looked at the next thing, Mrs. Lisa's embroidery class was beginning to bear fruit, she wanted to take a few children and a few adults, follow her, and concentrate on learning embroidery.

This concentration means that they are not going to continue to participate in other things other than embroidery.

Xinwa Village is still under construction, and there are many trivial chores, and all the people have to be mobilized at every turn, and Lady Lisa's request is to get a space to concentrate on learning.

"Yes, tell Lisa that the embroidery she sends in the future will be paid for by piece, and the next time the team from Crowk Town comes, let Lisa and them bring some of the embroidery products to sell."

Lu Xi quickly nodded and agreed, it should be like this, all walks of life are divided and cooperated, and considering that it has taken so long, Lady Lisa must have a lot of works, and the apprentices under her should also have a lot of finished products.

You can take it out and sell it for a wave to see the market effect.

After Betham stabilized the town of Crowk, he started the "trade route" between the town of Crowk and the Prison Farm, and regularly sent a team of people back to the Crane Farm to take out the things in the warehouse of the Prison Farm and sell them.

Although only part of it is sold each time, mosquito meat is also meat, and for Lu Xi, it can be regarded as a stable output.

"By the way, embroidery costs eyes, so let Lisa take her apprentices, especially the children, to the Holy See to ask for some holy water to put on her eyes and keep her eyesight healthy."

Lu Xi looked at one thing after another, and found that he had returned to the topic of "Snow No Festival".

The "Snow Free Festival" is a festival held to farm in the field, but the embarrassing thing is that there is no land to plant around the Lingyu Farm......

The construction of houses in Xinwa Village relies on a group of elemental mages and elemental warriors to spend a lot of elemental materials to thaw the ice left by the ice dragon.

Relying on this thaw to create a large area for farming, Lu Xi can't afford to spend this money, but it's like the emperor taking a golden hoe to farm the land...... Not necessarily.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the villagers of Xinwa Village have "nothing to do" for the next year.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food here in Luxi, there are only more than 700 people, and if it is completely raised, it is 70,000 people, and Luxi will not frown.

There are plug-ins, and that's how confident they are.

But it can't really let this group of people be idle, Lu Xi looked at the other data again, the first batch of literacy classes have been successfully completed, and teachers from Crowk Town have taken over the follow-up education - in fact, they know more words and are educated and some unemployed people.

Suppressed for various reasons, he couldn't find anything to do, so he was retracted by Bertham to complete the knowledge popularization work that Miss Lucy needed...... It was mainly serious cultured people who were reluctant to teach this group of slaves.

Although it is said that the slave registration has been abolished, in the eyes of most people, Xinwa Village is still a slave belonging to Miss Lucy.

Only these unemployed people who have offended people or done wrong things, and it is difficult for them to even survive, will agree to teach a group of slaves for a little reward.

So the literacy class was quickly divided into two types, one was the full-day "children's class" that Lu Xi said before, and the other was the "adult class" with a class time system.

The children's class is initially divided into three classes according to age, with about forty or fifty students in each class, and according to the subsequent learning progress, these classes will be subdivided into a grade-based model based on learning progress.

That is, the first and second grades.

The primary school system on the earth is very perfect, Lu Xi can just apply it directly, and at most make trade-offs for some details.

The adult class is divided into two periods, both in the evening, the first is after dinner, that is, from 6 to 8 pm, it is a basic class, and only simple literacy and arithmetic are learned.

The second period is from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., which is an intensive class, where you will learn some complex knowledge, all depending on your self-awareness, whether you want to go further, and whether you have the talent to learn.

Considering the cost of studying, Lu Xi also asked people to add a late night snack to the intensive class of the adult class to ensure the learning status.

More than 150 children, more than 100 old people, more than 100 construction workers, more than 50 embroidery apprentices, and 300 young adults have nothing to do during the day.

Lu Xi's eyes fell on the "Xinwa Village Hunting Team" reported by Cross, although he has been focusing on building houses for a while now, his daily training has not been interrupted.

Cross didn't know what Miss Lucy was thinking, or if she was paying attention to the matter, so she recorded it and reported it.

Lu Xi's eyes rolled, and he felt that this hunting team was not bad, and it could be continued, after all, Xinwa Village was not a small village now, there were more than 700 people, in order to maintain the daily operation without trouble, there must be a team that could replace the law enforcement function.

And the young adults who have nothing to do can just train to become combat effectiveness and be able to maintain the stability of the village.

"Increase the number of members of the hunting team to more than 100 people, first of all, those who are healthy and strong are required, and I will rearrange one person to be responsible for training later, and let them sign up by themselves first."

Lu Xi said, suddenly thinking of the garlic he had just found, and the allicin that he didn't have a clue yet, "Let's pick another 50 people, ask for meticulous and serious work, I have other tasks to them." ”

These people are responsible for helping her research allicin, not only allicin, Lu Xi decided that if he has any ideas, he can let this group of people try it, it is better than thinking about it blindly, in case the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it will be successful.

As for the remaining 100 or so, we will see what odd jobs we have to arrange for them when the time comes.

It's a big deal to follow those elderly people and act as sanitation workers, pick up garbage in Xinwa Village every day, and keep the environment clean.

But...... Lu Xi suddenly showed a smile, "Before that, let's prepare for this year's Snow Free Festival." ”

Although I can't farm this year, I can use it for a blind date!

There are two or three hundred unmarried young people of school age!

There is nothing to do this year, so why don't we all increase the number of newborns, if there are more than 100 newborns next year, wouldn't we even be more motivated to work and farm!

The marriage and love shows that I have watched on the earth, and the various routines in them began to be played in a loop in Lu Xi's mind, making Lu Xi feel eager to show his strength.

Lu Xi, who was desperate to do something to distract himself, set his goal on the "Snow No Festival".

Hunting monsters for food is to survive, and breeding offspring is also for better survival.

Therefore, the blind date of the first "Snow No Festival" of Lingyu Farm has officially begun!

Five thousand words, I want to write it in one go, and I have written it until now.
