Sword and Magic and Clear Flow

The rapid development of the lower-level countryside has led to the small town of Ajili. After a year, it has grown into a distribution center for cash crops and primary raw materials. There are all kinds of culinary ingredients, medicinal materials, fruits, and spices that are special products of the Snowman Empire. Cloth, leather, wool, The down is of high quality, with a complete range of wood, flowers, agricultural and sideline products, and finished feed. It is already a shopping mecca for NPC businessmen and professional life players.

The basic industries have also stimulated the processing industry, transportation industry, wholesale and retail industry... The whole town has a new look, the renovated roads are strong and wide, and the shops are full of bright lights.The dwarf bank service point, which handles business so softly, has built a magnificent building. The teleportation array management office that was once crowded with the bank service point has also been upgraded, and a new stove has been established in the center of the town. The comings and goings are very lively.

The newly-built city guard looks decent, and there are at least a dozen patrolmen by visual inspection. Even the mayor's office, which consists of a one-story house and a dilapidated house, has been renovated into a decent three-story town hall. Two new secretaries were recruited.

The town of Ajili only made its name among NPC merchants at first, and it didn’t take long for it to become famous among life players. There are still very few people who choose this place as their birthplace, and there are very few people lining up to rent props at the window of the city hall. Most of them are people watching around.

"Hey, brothers, is the team short of people? Take me one."

"Sorry, full."

As soon as Sean and the others entered, they were surrounded by people begging for a group. After refusing, those players scattered in disappointment and continued to stroll around the teleportation circle and the city hall.

The tall and burly Mayor Kumar actually ran out himself, gave Sean and Sandy a bear hug, lifted the two brothers up to their toes off the ground at the same time, and distributed two sets of "stone mill", "steam barrel" and "stone mortar" for free. Props: "Happy New Years, welcome home, have a great night!"

"Thank you, mayor, and I wish you a happy New Year's Day." Sean said with a smile.

"I should thank you, you are the pride of the town of Ajili!" Mayor Kuma smiled honestly.

Mr. Yu was amazed: "Why do you two still have this kind of treatment?"

"We players will be awarded the title of 'Honorary Citizen' of the local city after we have made significant contributions to the town we were born in. Mr. Yu is now also an honorary citizen of Corridaris." Sean replied.

"It's a pity that we can't line up at all now. I heard that the teleportation area over there is overcrowded." Yu Tanghai said helplessly, "That's why holographic games are inconvenient."

Huang Sang touched the stone mill curiously, and asked, "Where are we going to make rice cakes? Are we going back to the guild?"

"Why don't you go to Holly Village Farm? It's a big place, and we haven't been back for a long time." Sandy said.And the long-lost bear hug in Kuma Town made him miss Village Chief Bell a little.

A group of ten people came to Dongqing Village on horseback. The field was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the pasture was also covered with snow.But even the cold and snow can't stop the naughty pony from bouncing around and playing.

Su Geyin was surprised: "Look, those ponies can still snowball!"

Sean: "No, that's a sheep raised by the villagers, and they'll let it go when they've played enough."

Su Gein: "..."

After winter, the whole village is idle, and only a few villagers NPCs are left to take care of the farms, pastures and plantations. The glass greenhouses are still lush, and the warehouses are piled high with haystacks and strings of dried corn. All the NPCs who came to go home for the "New Year's Eve".

The children playing at the entrance of the village saw them and howled loudly, "Mr. Sean is back!" Immediately, people from several yards ran out to watch the excitement, and Village Chief Bell also came out to greet them in person, another warm welcome. The bear hug, Gu Qinghe looked a little delicious.

After coming to Dongqing Village, there is actually no need for props and stone mills. There is a ready-made windmill mill here, which can easily grind the washed glutinous rice into rice flour.The yard of Xiao En Farm is large, and it is very convenient to burn wood and make a fire. Not only does it have well water, but there are also running water pipes in the house.Sandy slipped into the breeding farm with Huang Sang familiarly, rubbed and played with the newborn chicks and ducklings.

No one has ever made rice cakes by hand, and after the first step of grinding rice noodles, he was confused. Su Gekai had an idea and released the "intimate secret" in the shape of a baby emperor penguin, asking how to complete the next steps.

Penguin: "The next step is steaming. This is the most technically demanding and problem-prone procedure in the process of making rice cakes. It is necessary to grasp the temperature of the steam at any time and sense the degree of rawness of the rice noodles in time. The process of steaming rice noodles is to put the rice noodles first. Put it into a wooden basin, add cold water and stir to form a dough with a diameter of about 2 cm, then slowly spread the dough on the steamer in the steamer, and place a piece of gauze or herbaceous "steamer" on the steamer. At the same time, sprinkle a handful of salt to prevent the rice noodles from leaking into the pot and prolong the storage time of the rice cakes. When the dough is covered with the steamer, slowly pour the remaining flour into the steamer .In a smooth situation, it takes 8 minutes to steam a bucket of noodles."

Everyone: "..."

Su Geyin thought to himself, that's great, everyone didn't understand. It seems that it's not my low level of Chinese, but the problem with this little penguin: "Goose, speak human language."

Penguin: "Add water and Yihe to the rice noodles and put them in a bucket to steam."

Everyone: "Oh, I see."

The white, soft and steaming cooked rice noodles arrived soon.

Su Gein: "And then?"

The witty penguin has seen through the stupid human: "Throw it into a mortar and hit it with a hammer."

Gu Qinghe consciously acted as the main force for beating the cakes, and with a hammer down, the glutinous rice balls were covered with the stone mortar, and a lot of them splashed out.Xiao En looked at Xiaomi Penguin suspiciously. The rice cakes were blown away. It must not be the boyfriend who did something wrong, but the secretary who said something wrong.

The penguin shook, and continued: "Come and steam it alone, that is, after beating once, pull a handful of dough, fill the hole made by the hammer, and then apply some water."

So one person beats the rice cake, the other pulls out the steamer, and changes hands when tired. After 10 minutes, a large ball of rice cakes is ready.

Penguin: "Use a mold to cut five pieces and cool them down, and hand them over to the city hall. A set of tasks will be considered complete."

Mr. Yu, who loves to do handicrafts, carries all kinds of props with him, and there happens to be a koi-shaped mold that is usually used to make bread dough, which will come in handy right now.He broke off a small ball of rice cake and put it into a mold to press it into shape, and then - no matter what, it couldn't be poured out.

"Smear a layer of oil first, brush! Oil! Ah! Oil!" The baby penguin covered its chest with its fluffy little wings, feeling very tired.

Su Gekai quickly squeezed the penguin's small mouth that kept shouting "Oil! Oil! Cheek!", as if his brain had short-circuited.

In embarrassment, Mr. Yu picked out the bumpy glutinous rice balls and threw them on the original big ball of rice cakes, pretending that nothing happened just now.

Wen Yin and Huang Sang, the second senior sisters of Xiao Men, took over the final work. One brushed the olive oil and the other pressed the moulds. The rice cakes made by the two steaming barrels were pressed out into dozens of finished products, which was enough for two groups to hand in the task. You can also eat by yourself.

The members of the Fish Pond Guild have the ability to have a picnic anytime, anywhere. They take out the barbecue grills, large iron pots, various fruits and vegetables, and fine wines in their backpacks...

Sandy belatedly asked: "By the way, did we wash our hands after touching the pony? I picked up horse manure before..."

Everyone looked at the baked rice cakes in their hands with extremely complicated emotions: "..."

Wen Yin: "It's okay to eat, it's just time to sterilize at high temperature after baking"

Huang Sang: "...This is a game, if you are serious, you will lose."

Sandy: "It's all here, catch and eat that sheep that was kicked around like a snowball by the pony, I don't think it will survive this winter."

Everyone did good deeds and rescued the poor sheep from the sea of ​​suffering.

With Roasted Whole Lamb, the farmhouse is finally complete.Sean also called the village chief and the villagers, and a group of people ate and drank lively in the farm compound to celebrate New Year's Day together.

Mr. Yu's face was reddened by the blazing bonfire, and he sighed: "No matter what you think, I think NPCs are no different from us. Look at these people, these food and drink, who would have thought that they are all the same. What about games? It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s another way of life.”

Penguin Xiaomi nodded again and again: "The old man is right, you are a sensible person."

Mr. Yu: "Don't talk, as soon as you talk, I will play."

The penguin froze with its furry little face to make a breathless expression as if its throat was strangled.

After a group of people had fun, they rode their horses calmly, took a walk to digest food, trotted all the way, and handed in the finished rice cakes in the small town of Ajili. Everyone got [Equipment Drop Coupon], [Blank Clothing Drawings], [Zodiac Rabbit Ears].After returning to the guild, I saw that many people had changed into various rabbit headgear and new appearances, and some people came to say hello to the president and his party.

"Master, I'm making an appointment for a 'Sea God's Labyrinth' team pit!"

"Boss Yu, bring me a dungeon when you play the 'Anthem Tribunal', the only thing that needs to be done is the 'Nobody in the Shepherd' suit and gauntlets."

"And me, this time with the designated drop ticket, I can finally get the 'Scepter of Judgment'!"

"Brother Xiao, please bring 'Eternal Night Graveyard'!"

……

Sean in a good mood waved his hand: "No problem, bring them all, set a schedule!"

Everyone cheered and dispersed.

Xiao En pulled Gu Qinghe back to the personal lounge on the third floor of the guild, and couldn't wait to push him onto the bed: "Put on the rabbit ears and let me see."

Lu Qinghe: "..." Bai was so excited that he almost lost the connection.

He obeyed obediently, knowing that his lover likes the furry feel, so he chose the big and thick gray-black lop-eared rabbit ears, which make people feel warm at a glance.Sean found new pleasures, rubbing his ears, kissing his boyfriend, never tired of it.

"We've all received the invitation letter, let's deal with the matter here, and I'll see you in two days." Sean had enough fun, and pulled Lieutenant Gu to lie side by side on the bed, "Both Suge Kai and Yu Tanghai I got the certificate, and the wedding is going to be held tomorrow, didn't you say anything?"

Gu Qinghe: "I'll send a red envelope."

Sean: "..."

Gu Qinghe: "Watch the ceremony again via video?"

Sean: "..."

Gu Qinghe got to the point: "I have already asked the research institute for instructions... The superior said that only a legal couple can live in a dormitory, otherwise they will be randomly assigned."

Sean: "Oh."

Lieutenant Gu, who has always been vigorous and decisive, can't make up his mind when encountering relationship problems: "Xiao En..."

Sean: "Huh?"

"... Let's get married." Lu Qinghe was a little nervous, hugging his lover tightly, and he had the intention of not letting go if he didn't agree, and he had almost figured out his character, and he became very talkative: "Would you like to marry me?" marry me?"

Sean was elated, and when he got up, he was like a dawdler. He pressed his obedient and sensible boyfriend on the bed and kissed him until his face was blushing and his heart was beating, and his eyes were moist: "Yes! Of course I am willing!"

The two hugged each other tightly. Although they couldn't do anything, as long as they hugged their sweetheart, they were extremely satisfied. They spent the first New Year's Day together since they met.

After logging off the assembly line, Gu Qinghe took off his helmet, feeling a little empty in his arms, and the warm touch disappeared, and he couldn't help feeling flustered.

But Zhan Wensong, who was in the same room, ran over and asked, "Did the teammates in the Fish Pond Guild agree?"

Gu Qinghe: "Yes."

Zhan Wensong: "I just said that this group of young people has a future, everyone will work together, and soon... what are you doing?"

"Help you pack your luggage, Brother Zhan, you should go out." Gu Qinghe moved quickly, quickly packing all of Major Zhan's personal belongings.

Zhan Wensong: "..."

On the lonely and cold New Year's Eve, Major Zhan was kicked out, and found an empty dormitory to move in with all his money, feeling desolate in his heart.Once you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your superiors. This kind of subordinate is really unacceptable.
