Goddess Wanhua Mirror

After confirming his thoughts, Lude first went to the baron's house and explained to the old lady who was acting in charge.Mrs. Sirina heard that it was a celebration after the autumn harvest, and this year's harvest was exceptionally good, so she thought it would be okay to do it.The residents of the territory have been working hard for several months, and finally they are looking forward to the long-awaited bumper harvest. They really need to relax.

It happened that Lu De had experience and ideas, so he volunteered again. The old lady immediately drafted an official document, entrusting him with full authority for the celebration.

The baron's letter of appointment is essentially a matter of doing things, and Lude mainly hopes to save face for both parties.He then wrote another letter to the steel whip clan patriarch Gulig and priest Wenig, inviting them to participate in the Thanksgiving Sacrifice.In addition, Lu De also mentioned in the letter that he recently hooked up with new allies and planned to introduce them to meet, and the two old buddies immediately understood.

Afterwards, Lude wrote a lot of invitation letters in a row, and sent one to all the famous people he knew, inviting them to come to Pine Tree Town to participate in this festival, and at the same time, to promote the surrounding area.

After sending out the invitation letter, the next thing Lude has to do is to organize manpower to prepare for the event.He mobilized the local townspeople and told them simply that this is a good opportunity to make money.He plans to use the snack street on the other side of the earth as a reference template to transform the main road of the town.

In addition to temporarily transforming the streets and setting up roadside stalls, Lu De also gathered the culinary students who started to return to school one after another and more than half of the cooks in the town, and gave them surprise guidance, and taught many people on the other side of the earth. The practice of well-known snacks.

Lu De was a foodie in his previous life, and he has strong hands-on skills. He often finds some cooking videos to copy, and he is very skilled in using wide oil!

In order to eat better and grow vegetables better, Lu De really can do anything!

Back when the village was poor, there were no conditions, but now life is better, and the farming and animal husbandry in the town has also been deliberately promoted by Lu De, and the products have become more and more abundant.Not only the production of staple food has increased greatly, but also large-scale poultry and livestock have been raised, and non-staple food such as spices and rapeseed oil have also achieved a certain self-production capacity.

All this is due to good water conservancy construction, agricultural technology upgrades and application of fertilizers.Especially fertilizers. When Lu De developed fertilizers, he boldly tried to introduce religious elements and add metaphysical additions to them.

The specific operation process, the first step is to preach to the religious farmers that the god of medicine is also in charge of the god of fertility, and can make high-yield "pesticides", and then provide them with a small amount of self-made nitrogen fertilizer to compare with traditional farmland.

In order to produce a sufficiently significant difference between the fertilized field and the unfertilized original field.Lude even used a small trick in private to let Aina or Shanisi take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to go to the fields to use divine power to ripen the crops and accelerate their growth.

As long as the believers see the real gap, they will believe that the God of Medicine has this ability, and more and more people believe, then Aina will really get this ability.However, the price to be paid for this is that Aina will be forced to greatly increase the number of times she takes baths in the future, and the obtained solutions will be divided into two types: "medicinal" and "agricultural".

By the way, Lude also cooperated with the magicians in the Three-person Tower last year to cultivate spice crops that can adapt to the cold climate in the north.And the magician who cooperated with him was none other than Hamilton's disciple Dave, the unlucky guy who was seriously injured by the demonized chili blast last year.

The child was bombed to death last year, and he lay on the bed for two full months before he could get out of the ground.It stands to reason that having experienced such a near-death experience would definitely leave Dave with a very serious psychological shadow. He would tremble when he saw peppers in the future, but this kid was obviously weak, and the door to the new world was blown open. Obsessed with developing enchanted plants.

Lu De still remembers the bunch of "magic plants" that this kid showed him when he came to Pine Town, such as biting pumpkins and running sunflowers, all of which looked like things that were not easy to eat.

The most frightening thing is the enhanced version of the explosive pepper. Even though Lude had been mentally prepared, he was still terrified when he saw a half-meter-long giant pepper blasting a deep pit with a radius of nearly 20 meters on the ground. He sat down on the ground and couldn't stand up for a long time.

It's chili peppers! ?

Fortunately, with the improvement of the spice crops, the agricultural terrorists were relatively restrained. They finally cultivated the ideal crops and planted them locally. This made Pine Town the only area in the northern part of the kingdom that could produce spices on a large scale. , Attracted many businessmen to come to buy it, and at the same time, many thieves who tried to steal the seedlings came, and all the biting pumpkins were wiped out.

The preparation work is progressing smoothly. The booth is not a complicated object. The two hundred sets of modular wooden structures are all ready in three days. They will be stored in the warehouse and assembled on the first day before the festival.

The students who returned to school one after another also learned about the festival. Some students from the professional skills department were temporarily seconded to participate in the preparatory work for the festival, and they could get credits and rewards. Lu De called it "internship".

In addition to various food stalls, there are also many interesting entertainment projects that Lude has started to prepare.

Lude plans to hold another "Star Gathering Event" at that time. All the people who come to play, as long as they complete a certain number of challenges at the festival, they can go to the temple to exchange for corresponding special rewards.

The simple aliens will once again welcome the temptation of "limited-time activities"!

End of this chapter

With all the students returning from the autumn vacation, Brewster College ushered in the official start of the new semester.In addition to the local civilian children and the increasing proportion of foreign students, there is a new student who is particularly eye-catching this semester, and that is Miss Sasha, the sister of the local lord Baron Cork.

However, Lisa was not the only noble child in the school. The Mochishima siblings from Oyster Harbor entered the school half a year earlier than him, and they were still children of the Viscount's family.

On the morning of the first day of school, Lisa was woken up early by her mother, had breakfast and was ready to go to school.

The family is still living in the backyard of the hotel in the center of the town, but the construction of the baron's mansion is more than halfway underway, and it is expected to be ready for occupancy next spring.From the place where I lived to the school, the distance was only a few hundred meters, and it was only two intersections away, but my mother still specially called a carriage and asked her to go to school by car.

Mrs. Sirina herself is not the kind of lady who loves extravagance and extravagance, but the family is aristocrats and local lords, so they should pay more attention to ostentation.And Lisa is a girl, riding a horse is somewhat inappropriate, so she chooses to ride a carriage.

Under the nagging advice of her mother, Lisa hugged her younger brother Lothar who sent her out, then got into the carriage and was escorted to school by the knight Athos.

Wherever they passed along the way, as long as the local people saw the family crest of the baron's family on the carriage, they all bowed their heads to show their respect to the lord, but Lisa felt a little bit ashamed subtly.

The distance of a few hundred meters is not too far, the carriage soon arrived at the school gate, Lisa got out of the car, looked at the tall school gate and the endless stream of students in front of her, with a slightly dazed expression on her face.

At this moment, a demi-human dragon nun with wings on her back and horns on her head greeted her from the school gate.Lisa knew each other and knew that she was one of the disciples of the priest Lude, and her name was Romean.It is said that he is a trainee priest who can already use divine arts, and also serves as a cultural teacher for lower grades in school.

When the other party came over, he spoke to them kindly.

"Welcome, classmate Lisa, please come with me."

Led by Romean, Lisa and Athos entered the school together.

Lisa herself is literate and can play some musical instruments.When Lu De came to visit her home before, she asked her to do a so-called "test paper", saying that she had an educational level equivalent to that of a middle class, and her grades belonged to the upper reaches, while the old lady mainly wanted her to learn cooking and tailoring. A skill that fits the status of a noble lady.

So in the end, Lu De decided to let her transfer to the culinary department of the advanced class. He also abducted Ados, a knight with good martial arts skills, and invited him to be a "wu (ti) skill (yu)" teacher".

As for the baron himself, he is still too young at the moment, and Lude is going to wait until the child reaches school age before coming to kidnap people.

Walking on the corridor leading to the classroom, Lisa felt very novel about the clean and lively atmosphere on the campus. It was completely different from the slightly subtle rigidity when she visited with her mother last time. .

The three of them first went to the student office to collect Lisa's school uniform, stationery and various textbooks. They made a lot of miscellaneous things. Since Lisa doesn't live on campus, they don't need to collect bedding and toiletries. case.

Lisa felt a little bewildered by this pile of things, while Ados beside him, as a well-informed adult, was secretly surprised.

Regarding the school in Lude, Ados had specially investigated it. At first, it was completely free of charge. Later, the school expanded and recruited many foreign students from other places. Only then did it start to formally collect tuition fees.

According to the situation that Ados knew, foreign students from other places are basically assigned by the local lords to study medicine. They have to pay the tuition and board and lodging fees for five years at one time. On average, a student costs [-] silver coins, and sending them The lords who came over generally would not just pay a tuition fee, but would give some extra "sponsorship fees", which were originally intended as gift money to Lude.

It is different for local students, especially the children in the town, who generally do not need to live in school, and the tuition fee is paid once a semester, which only costs [-] copper coins.Given the relatively affluent local income level, as long as no more than five children go to school at the same time, there are almost no families who cannot afford the tuition fees.

And compared to the tuition fees paid by the students, the money Lu De poured into the school would be wasted!Athos conservatively estimated that there should be at least twenty to thirty thousand gold coins, or even more.

This disproportionate entry and exit once made Ados very puzzled like many people. Could it be that Lude spent so much time building the school just to do good deeds?Besides the school, Lude also built bridges and paved roads in the town, and built various public facilities that Athos thought were very novel, and the money was far greater than the cost of building the school.

So during one of Luther's home visits, Athos asked his doubts face to face, and Luther's answer was still fresh in his memory.

"The purpose of my building this school is not to earn some tuition and fees, but to cultivate talents. I believe that they will improve the world. This is an investment for the future. And money is something that can only be called money in the treasury. Wealth can only bring wealth when it flows!"

The status bonus of "saint" and benefactor made Ados willing to believe in Lude, and at the same time admired his noble character even more.

After receiving the textbooks and school supplies, Romean then led them to the large classroom where the cooking department was located. There were already many students in the room, both male and female.Seeing Romean come in, the chattering children instantly quieted down, and then stood up in unison to say hello to Romean.

"Hello teacher!"

"Hi students, we have a new student in our class today..."

Although she is about the same age as the students, Romean is currently the head teacher of the entire culinary department, and her work ability is beyond doubt.

Seeing that all the students in her class had arrived, and there were still a few minutes before the start of class, Romean introduced Lisa, who had just joined the class, to the whole class.When everyone heard that it was the eldest lady of the lord's family, they all showed surprise.

Normally, the nobles in this world, even the most junior hereditary nobles like the newly promoted baron, in order to highlight their "noble status" which is different from the common people, often avoid contact with the "inferior people". Always put on a proud face looking at people with nostrils.

So when the students in the class learned that the rich lady of the lord's family condescended to come to be their classmate, everyone was surprised, and they couldn't help but feel cautious.A few of them even put their heads on the table, feeling like they were about to kneel down without the table blocking them.

There is no way to do this. The nobles and the commoners have been pursuing the distinction between high and low for thousands of years. Inequality is like a secular rule, which is deeply imprinted in the bones of almost everyone in this world. This is not a shout A loud slogan can easily turn things around.

Lu De also knows that this is the reality, so he wants to change it. If it is too intense and people cannot accept it, then slowly and subtly, let the children of noble families and common people sit together and start studying together.

Lisa also noticed sensitively that when Romean said that she was the daughter of the lord's family, the eyes of the students in the classroom changed when they looked at her. This subtle change made her somewhat uneasy.

Because Lisa is still young, and she was not born a nobleman. Her father was only awarded a knight when she was seven years old. He is considered an honorary nobleman without hereditary rights, but the living conditions at home are not too different from those of ordinary people. The big difference, to paraphrase the earth, is the middle class.

This makes Lisa still a commoner girl in her bones, and she has not been able to adapt to this sudden noble status until today.Therefore, when she found that the eyes of her classmates had changed, she did not enjoy the sense of superiority of being looked at differently by the lower class, but instead had a panic of being separated by the group.

At this time, the bell rang outside the classroom, and it was time for class.Romean reminded Ados, who had been standing at the door, to hurry up and report to the Academic Affairs Office. When she went out to show the new physical education teacher Knight, Lisa came to the seat assigned to her and sat down.

Just when she was feeling uneasy about the new environment, the girl at the next table suddenly greeted her in a low voice.

"Hi! Hello, my name is Fran, please take care of me in the future."

"Oh, oh! You, hello!"

Suddenly someone greeted her, Lisa was startled, she turned her head and followed the reputation, only to find that on her right was a beautiful girl with blond hair (beige) who looked similar to her age, and was looking at her with a smile. The other students in the class were so nervous that they didn't dare to look at her at all.

Thanks to someone who took the initiative to say hello, Fran's warm smile made Lisa feel like a spring breeze in an instant. The original tension and anxiety disappeared, and she subconsciously regarded the beautiful girl in front of her as her new friend.

"(Wow! She's so cute!)"

Just thinking of chatting a few more words so as to get to know the new friend better, Romean came back at this time, and Fran, who had tilted his head, hurriedly sat down and opened the textbook in front of him. Lisa could only follow suit. started to study.

Contrary to Lisa's expectation before coming here, she thought that she came here to learn cooking and working as a maid, maybe she would spend a whole day in the kitchen learning how to make various recipes, but the reality is that , She sat in a spacious and bright classroom with other students all morning, learning some things that seemed to have nothing to do with cooking from the various books she had received before.

The first class was mathematics, and Lisa was not very good at it. The four arithmetic operations and geometric algorithms made her feel like she was listening to the bible, but it was such a difficult thing, and Fran next to him could answer it fluently, which surprised Lisa. God!

Immediately after the second class was history. The teacher who came to the class this time was the priest Lude himself. What he talked about had something to do with cooking. Inferred religious allusions.

Lisa, who couldn't help peeking at Fran all the time, found that when the teacher talked about the Goddess Cult, which was born from the worship of food, the other party actually pursed his lips and smiled.

"(It's so weird! But she looks good when she smiles!)"

After four classes in the morning, Lisa was surprised to find that although she had learned a lot, she hadn't touched the most important thing, cooking, so that Lisa couldn't help asking herself, did I really come to learn cooking?

"Fran! Aren't we a culinary department?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

In the morning, Lisa and Fran have become friends who can call each other by their first names as they wished, and with the help of each other, they have successfully talked with other students in the class, and everyone gets along fairly well.

After the morning class, Lisa followed Fran to the school cafeteria. Along the way, she could see many students sprinting at the speed of [-] meters. Fran told Lisa that they were rushing For those who want to eat, the lunch provided by the school is never insufficient, but the boys are obsessed with competing for the strange honor of "the first to arrive at the cafeteria", which can be regarded as a repertoire that must be staged at noon every day.

It is worth mentioning that, after learning about the situation, Lu De, as the principal, not only did not restrain him, but also asked the cafeteria to prepare ten special plates with the words "cooking rice" printed on them. Only the top ten who arrived at the cafeteria first This directly makes the competition in the cafeteria sprint competition more intense.

Although it sounded interesting, Lisa didn't participate in the race because she wanted to follow Fran, and the two walked to the cafeteria like a leisurely stroll.

In Fran's words, it is a virtue to be active in eating, but too much running before meals will affect the appetite and make the originally delicious food less delicious in the mouth, which is another kind of disrespect to food.

When the two came to the cafeteria, there were already 300 to [-] people in the hall, most of them were queuing up to receive meals, and those who were quick had already found their seats and started eating.To Lisa's surprise, she actually saw Lu De in the queue, standing in the middle of the queue. The students in front of him were all ordinary students, but no one offered to make room for him, the principal. .

Seemingly noticing Lisa's doubts, Fran said.

"In school, many things require queuing, some are based on height, some are based on age, and the requirements in the cafeteria are first-come, first-served. This is the rule set by Principal Lude, and he himself strictly abides by it. Naturally, no one dares to make a mistake. Let’s go! Let’s queue up too.”

"oh oh."

Along with Fran, Lisa also received a lunch, one meat and one vegetarian dish, a bowl of pork bone soup, freshly baked bread as the staple food, and a freshly picked apple for dessert.The standard of this meal far exceeded Lisa's expectations. Although the amount of meat in the meat dish was not much, just a few thin slices of smoked meat, it was better than what her father ate at home before he became a knight.

The two of them were having lunch, when two students, a man and a woman, walked towards them not far away, and the girl waved her hand and shouted towards them.

"Fran! Let's have lunch!"

End of this chapter

Two students, a boy and a girl, approached. They were about the same age as Lisa and Fran, and they should be around twelve or thirteen years old.Lisa took a closer look at the two of them, and found that there were quite a lot of similarities between their brows, and guessed in her heart that the two might be siblings.

Another thing that attracted Lisa's attention was that these two were not only handsome and beautiful with outstanding looks, but also had fair and delicate skin visible to the naked eye. One could tell from a glance that their family background must be very wealthy, and they had never done any rough work since they were young.

In contrast, although Lisa herself is the daughter of the baron's family, she has not been so well-maintained in the past year.

In fact, when she was a child, Lisa was once called a "monkey girl" by the neighbors. She was wilder than many boys of the same age. A sharp knight, he went into battle with his father.

It's a pity that Lisa's dream did not get the support of her mother, who hoped that she could live like a normal girl.

At this time, the brother and sister had already walked to the dining table, and they obviously knew each other with Fran, so they sat down directly.

What made Lisa Weiwei a little unhappy was that the girl actually sat next to Fran and clung to her very intimately.This made Lisa, who was sitting across from her, feel a little regretful, why did she sit across from her because of her reserve just now.

Under the recommendation of Fran, the two sides introduced themselves politely, and Lisa knew that the siblings in front of her were the children of the lord of Oyster Harbor, who were currently studying at Brewster College.

It is worth mentioning that the two are still disciples of Priest Lude and have the status of monks. However, Lude did not let them worship in the temple and stay away from worldly desires like ordinary monasteries. Go to school to learn the basics, and at the same time take one or two subjects that interest you.

And for now, they are no different from other students.

The two siblings had already enrolled in the last semester, and they were students at the same time as Fran, and because they were noble children, they received education at a very young age, so they were promoted to advanced classes earlier than Fran, who had a low foundation. Department, while younger brother Moqi entered the newly established Department of Mechanical Engineering this year, learning to build various machines with a few old dwarves hired from outside.

Lisa doesn't know what mechanical engineering is. She only heard Shima complain about her younger brother at the dinner table, saying that this kid has been fascinated by this kind of big iron man since he met the dwarves' Koberi war partner. It's like falling in love at first sight.

Later, when he learned that the newly opened Department of Mechanical Engineering in the school had a specially hired dwarf lecturer who would teach mechanical forging, Moqi signed up without hesitation.

However, the two entered the school for a relatively short period of time, and they only took classes for one semester and four months. If they want to learn the reason for their respective subjects, it will take another two or three years to see the initial results.

During a short lunch, Lisa made two new friends. She got along well with the shy Mochi, but she had a sense of non-hostile confrontation with Shima, because she found The child was a little too clingy to Fran, and even invited Fran to take a bath together in the big bathhouse at the school gate at night while eating.

Under the influence of Lude's series of sanitation measures, a bathing culture has formed in Pine Tree Town at present. More than [-] bathhouses have been built in the town. People are used to relying on sauna and bathing after a hard day. Come and wash away the dirt and tiredness all over your body.

And the small foreign students from other places soon went to do as the Romans did, and Xima was one of the fanatics, who felt uncomfortable without taking a bath for a day.

Lisa has also heard a lot about the local bathhouse culture. The backyard of the hotel she lives in now provides a separate bathroom, and the Lord's Mansion under construction also has a large bath at the beginning of the design, but it comes from the kingdom. Lisa in the south has never been used to taking a hot bath.

However, Fran has already nodded to accept Seema's invitation. Lisa, who didn't want to be left behind like this, expresses her interest against her will in desperation.Seema has no objection to this, and is even very happy.The way her eyes were shining made Lisa faintly feel that something was wrong,

"Speaking of which, I heard that in the middle of this month, there will be a food festival in the town. Do you want to go shopping together?"

"Yes! I'm quite interested. The skewers in Pine Tree Town are really delicious. I went back to my hometown during the autumn vacation, and I haven't eaten them for two whole months. I can't sleep thinking about them!"

"Agreed! Although Pine Tree Town is not as big as Oyster Port, there are a lot of delicious food. Fran, you are from the culinary department. When you graduate in the future, come to our house to be the head chef, okay? I will definitely ask my father to open three times for you wages."

"Master Mochi, I appreciate your kindness, but I have other plans. If possible, I would like to travel to three continents in the future to hone my cooking skills while searching for ingredients. Pass on the love of food to more people.”

The beliefs of Fran and other island teenagers have been made public. Thanks to Luther's recognition, and the Goddess of Kitchen Fire, Marikis, is indeed not a notorious evil god, so in Pine Town, where the religious atmosphere is relatively harmonious, soon It was accepted by everyone.
