Chapter 42 Dinner before parting
"Dang, dang, dang."
As dusk falls, the bell rings the signal to go home. The busy citizens drag their tired bodies through the streets and alleys of the Rose Capital.
Although a month ago, the explosion of the large crack only took a few seconds and the loss of personnel was reduced to a minimum, the subsequent aftermath work was far more troublesome than the citizens imagined.
Property losses are just small matters. After all, there are not many damaged things, and they are not irreplaceable things. Few people will lose their money because of this. The real problem lies in construction.
Most buildings still maintain a good appearance, at most a few cracks on the walls or roofs, so they will not collapse. However, no one dares to live in such a building. After living back, who knows that one day it will collapse inexplicably. By then, it will not die from the outbreak of the big cracks, but is smashed to death by his own house. That is a huge joke.
In order to stabilize the people's hearts and to enhance the prestige of the Rose family, the city hall invested and hired a large number of craftsmen to conduct a thorough inspection of the houses in the city and repair the damaged houses.
So this month, the whole city fell into a rare busy situation. The last time there was such a busy scene, it was even more difficult to find the civil strife a hundred and fifty years ago.
However, these have nothing to do with the Dark Moon Temple.
It was already almost ruined, so of course it was impossible to destroy them again. As for those pretty intact buildings, Shuer wanted to frame the cracks and ask the city hall to invest in the reconstruction, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.
This is the Holy Land of the Dark Moon Goddess. The buildings of the Holy Land are inherently resistant to external forces, and it is not that easy to damage them. Moreover, the people in the City Hall are not stupid. How could they not know the construction of the Dark Moon Temple?
Therefore, even if the whole city is busy, the down-and-out Dark Moon Temple is still as peaceful and peaceful as before, or to put it bluntly, it is desolate and deserted.
The Temple Square is indeed deserted, but when you enter the depths of the Temple and arrive at the living area of the insiders, the atmosphere becomes lively.
In the restaurant, the lights were brightly lit tonight. Not only were the oil lamps on the walls lit up, but there were two large candlesticks on the long dining table, and ten candles exude the breath of fireworks, illuminating the dining area in a tiny light.
The food on the table is amazingly rich, not the kind of richness that is seen by the poor children, but like a real banquet.
The roasted pheasant from the old Hans family is famous for a hundred years in the Rose Capital. The huge pheasant that is as big as a lamb is roasted in a secret way. The golden skin seeps out fine oil droplets, and the taste is soft and tough. The white chicken is tender and delicious. Even the thickest breast meat cannot taste rough at all. It is so thick that the taste can be guaranteed to be consistent no matter where it is located. It is used just right in the heat and seasoning.
Cut open the pheasant and the smell of the spices filled inside scattered like a steaming hot air exploded. The various mushrooms hidden in the chicken's belly had absorbed enough oil, each with a full water and a shiny luster on the surface. After biting it, the unique tender and smooth taste of the mushrooms mixed with the rich aroma of the chicken, which was enough to make people forget the temptation of the chicken, and only these mushrooms were left in their eyes.
A roasted chicken is not a banquet, it is just one of the main dishes. If you buy the roasted pheasant of the old Hans, and if you don’t buy his old rival, how can you braised deer legs in the Milan kitchen?
Autumn is the best time for venison. Marinate the fat and tender hind legs in a special sauce for three days and three nights, hang them in a ceramic jar covered with mesh, and throw them into a special stew stove. The high temperature penetrates the inside of the deer legs, making the deer legs thoroughly cooked from the inside to the outside. The sealed space fully retains the fresh aroma of the venison. The secret sauce neutralizes the heat of the venison and makes the slightly dry and hard venison soft.
After cutting it with one piece of cake, the thick muscle fibers broke, revealing the bright red section inside. The hot air surged out from the incision and slowly drifted into the air, making everyone unable to help but inhale.
Thick buttery clam soup, browned fried flounder, steaming chowder stew, green green leaf roots, red rose vines, white crystal flowers, and soft and sweet toast. Just look at it and the children are as if they are already in the dream kingdom of God.
The six children in Dark Moon Temple would not be surprised to be able to eat special food, because this is not the first time. Every time the guy was about to leave, he would prepare a sumptuous dinner the night before.
This should have brought incredible happiness to the children, but every time these children are always worried. Although they are young, their thoughts are already very mature, and they are very clear about the meaning behind this behavior, which is not so pleasant. What's more, whenever the guy leaves the next day, Sister Lisa, who is happy all night, will fall into a state of depression. This makes the children who love the Bishop sister extremely in love with the Bishop sister in their hearts, but they have no choice but to pray for the guy behind the scenes, hoping that he will return safely.
Of course, these are just concerns. Even if you worry, it will be tomorrow. At least now, children can still enjoy the food happily, and it is a more abundant food than before.
Shaking the red wine in his hand, Shuer kept leaning on the back of the chair, watching the lively scene, especially the cutest smile, the smile that was still showing even if he was worried. Lisa is becoming more and more sensible. I really hope that one day, she can erase the lingering worries in her smile. Well, it must be possible. Isn’t this the purpose of doing these things now? As long as I continue to work hard.
Pushing Lisa who had been snuggling beside her, Shul winked at the girl.
"Playing." Needless to say, Lisa knew what she should do, so she patted her hands gently, attracting everyone's attention. "Now, two news are announced, I hope everyone can be mentally prepared."
I found that the Bishop's face was particularly serious. Not only the children, but also the two new pastors, Meria and Tallinna, were a little nervous. They stopped their movements and watched the Bishop with concentration. The temple is now moving in a better direction, so that the two pastors have always felt unrealistic. When they chat in private, they were always worried that this was just a temporary appearance, and they were afraid that one day they would wake up early and everything would return to the starting point.
Therefore, as soon as Lisa said she wanted to announce the news, they both felt nervous, fearing that they would hear some bad news.
Of course it will not be bad news. The bad news Sul announced it himself. What Lisa asked her to announce it may only be good news.
"The first news is that, headed by McCar Forest, the capitals of the four forest kingdoms agreed to fund their investment to build a Lord Luna's worship hall in each kingdom."
There was silence and confusion on the dining table, and eight people couldn't understand what this meant.
"The worship hall was built by the wood elves and was made public to all the wood elves and forest elves. At this stage, the priests of the forest goddess Anika are temporarily responsible for cleaning and maintenance. Within ten years, we will send someone to take over and get on track when the time comes."
"Is this saying... Is it necessary to rebuild the branch temple?" The two priests looked at each other, unable to believe their ears, "And it is unprecedented in the country of wood elves?"
"No, now we are just building a worship hall. The division of the temple is our next direction." The girl was like an archbishop who controlled a church at this time, with a reserved and confident smile and said softly, "Everything is dedicated to the Lord by the wood elves. We don't need to pay any price. But in ten years, we will have to manage and maintain it ourselves."
"Haha, they gave us ten years of preparation time to receive this gift, it depends on whether we can prepare within ten years. I have the determination to do it. I wonder if everyone is as determined as me? I don't need to answer me, just answer myself in my heart."
Everyone's breathing is a bit heavy, no wonder the bishop reminds everyone to be mentally prepared. What does this news mean? It means that as long as everyone grows smoothly into qualified priests and the problem of the temple's funding is not too embarrassing, they can gain several worship halls out of thin air. For individuals, everyone present may become the presiding priests of the worship hall or even the bishop of the branch temple. This is supreme glory.
"Very good, everyone understands it." Lisa nodded with satisfaction, thinking in her heart what her brother would say, and said in imitation of Shure's way, "Ten years have not been long. I hope everyone can do their best for the Lord, for the Dark Moon Church, and for our big family."
"Blessed by Lord Luna." The two priests kept drawing circles on their chests, and could only nod their heads hard, unable to say even the complete words. As for the six children, they had not recovered from their surprise and were still chattering and discussing.
"There is a second news. It was a long-term thing just now, but the second news is the problem in front of you." Learning from Shure's habit, Lisa paused for a while, sucked the appetite of others, and then said slowly and calmly, "Pastor Talinna, Pastor Meria, you have discussed it yourself recently and choose a candidate. In a month, take two children to the Amber Capital of the Neisser Empire. In the Winter Festival, the Temple of Water will be held in the Winter Festival two months later, and someone will need to attend on behalf of the Temple of Dark Moon."
"As for the other person, you can't be idle. In the future, we need to make a lot of money in the large-scale festival of the Temple of Water. We can only rely on you to take turns to show up. After going out, you represent the Temple of Dark Moon, so you must prepare in advance, know what you should do, and never let others laugh at it."
After looking at my brother with the light, the girl finally felt relieved when she saw Xiu nodding slightly. It seemed that she was doing well.
"For the sake of the temple, my brother will go deep into danger tomorrow. We can't help him in this regard. Since that's the case, then do our own work well and work together so that my brother doesn't have to worry about the back. When my brother comes back, we will greet him with a new look."
