Chapter 140 Two Buds (End of Volume 1)
As an elf elder who has lived in this world for more than three hundred years, Elushia undoubtedly has extraordinary wisdom and vision, as well as a clear understanding of this world.
In fact, even without a conversation with Xu Yi, she had long discovered the problems encountered by the elves.
However, Xu Yi's appearance gave her a good opportunity to implement her own ideas.
So after a long talk with Elder Elushia, Xu Yi easily confirmed the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
In the preliminary cooperation between the two sides, Xu Yi should start to help the Yege tribe solve the water source problem.
For this reason, Xu Yi's preliminary plan was to build a dam upstream of the river flowing through the rainforest, and at the same time, dredge the river downstream, and finally re-dile the entire river.
This is a big project, and it takes a lot of time to complete it even on a technologically developed earth. It is naturally not that easy on the Continent of Sainz.
Moreover, in order to manage the river well this time, Xu Yi also decided to ask the Amley Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of this project, to use the reinforced concrete technology he had just learned from him to build a stronger dam and strengthen and repair the river embankment.
According to estimates, as long as this project can be completed, the river will not have to worry about changing courses within a hundred years.
This project costs a lot, so the Night Song Tribe naturally can't afford that much money.
So, according to Xu Yi's requirements, the Yege tribe began to conduct research on resin-related materials, and at the same time began to collect large quantities of resin. After the large resin smelting furnace developed by Xu Yi and the Yege tribe were built, it would start to produce various resin materials in large quantities for use by the New Air Chamber of Commerce.
As for Yanis's request to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because Xu Yi's proposal, Yanis did not become Xu Yi's slave, so this request cannot be considered as reward in the eyes of Elder Elhusia.
From the surface, repairing the river embankment and silting the river cost a lot. According to Xu Yi's preliminary estimate, even if the river is not large, it will consume at least 100,000 gold coins. The reward given by the Yege tribe is undoubtedly not enough.
But in the long run, mastering the resin material technology is of great significance to the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it also opens up a new point of interest, and thus gains a good cooperative relationship with the Yege tribe.
Overall, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually more profitable.
Xu Yi, Steele and Vivian stayed in the Ye Song tribe for three days. After Xu Yi explained his various requirements for resin materials to the elves completely thoroughly, he set out to leave.
Because Yanis wanted to stay in the tribe for a New Year, when he left, Yanis just sent the three of them out of the Forest of Rain and then to the Angora tribe, he turned around and left.
Since today is December 30th, it is the last day of this year. He did not stay in the Angora tribe at all for three days. He just greeted the head of Monto, the head of Slubi and Cambi who came after hearing the news. He hurriedly drove the carriage again and returned to Bonta City.
It was already dusk when we arrived in Bangta City. After entering Bangta City, the three of us found that Bangta City was particularly lively today. Bright light was already shining in the windows of every household, and all kinds of noisy sounds were heard from it. It seemed very lively.
It seems that no matter whether it is on Earth or the Continent of Sains, no matter which world, welcoming the New Year is a very important thing and a good time for family reunion.
Looking at Xu Yi looking at the side of the road, Steele couldn't help but open his mouth again: "Xu Yi, you'd better go to my house with Vivian for the New Year? Of course, it's not necessary to say grandpa, mom and dad will also welcome you and Vivian very much. If you go, they will definitely be very happy. This is better than the deserted and deserted ones of you and Vivian, right?"
Xu Yi turned his head to look at Steele, smiled slightly, and shook his head and said, "No need. Steele, I thank you very much. But welcoming the New Year is a very important thing. According to the rules of our hometown, you must spend the last day before the New Year, so I won't go to your house to disturb you. Besides, I will go to your house to congratulate your grandpa on the New Year. We just haven't met for one night."
Steele's face turned slightly red and he muttered, "I didn't have to see you before letting you go..."
The carriage soon arrived at Steele's doorstep. When Steele jumped out of the carriage, Xu Yi had no intention of visiting him. He waved to Steele and took Vivian back to his rental house.
Seeing the renting house that he had been renting for half a year and had been forgot to change, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.
It seems that I will spend the fourth New Year in this world in this very dilapidated small room.
Although he was only two people with Vivian, Xu Yi still decided to make a sumptuous dish.
In addition to the few dishes that Vivian was mainly responsible for making, Xu Yi also made some common dishes on earth that he only had during the Chinese New Year with his memory.
Although these dishes were terrible because Xu Yi had never cooked on Earth before, even though they were unpalatable, Xu Yi and Vivian were still very happy to eat.
Although the level of liveliness is a little worse than that of other families, the atmosphere is not bad at all with Xu Yi's efforts and funny things.
The only lack of this is that there is no TV in this world, nor does it have the Spring Festival Gala that Xu Yi rarely watches every year.
Compared to Xu Yi's slight loss, Vivian was sincerely happy.
Because not long after he was born, his parents, who were also slaves, died in the famine in the Kingdom of Lampari for more than ten years. Therefore, Vivian had no impression of his family since childhood and had never had any memory of spending the New Year with his family.
In her fifteen years of her career, she had already done her best to survive for the first fourteen years.
If she hadn't met Xu Yi and was bought by Xu Yi, she wouldn't have as rich food, warm clothes and sufficient knowledge as she is now, and she might even die suddenly.
So on this night, being able to have the New Year’s Eve dinner with Xu Yi, her favorite host, and accompany Xu Yi and shouting freely is already her greatest happiness.
After dinner, Xu Yi looked at the night sky with countless stars outside, and suddenly became excited and suggested to Vivian to go out for a walk.
Of course, Vivian would not go against his wishes. He quickly put on a coat for Xu Yi, who was already drunk. When he wanted to clean up the mess on the table, Xu Yi waved his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry about that much today, just be happy."
So Vivian smiled and hugged Xu Yi's arm. The two left the rented house and walked casually in Bangta City at night.
Or because he was a little drunk, Xu Yi pointed to the children running around on the street and told Vivian that when he was a child, he would definitely play with firecrackers everywhere on New Year's Eve. He once burned a pile of straw because of firecrackers, and was beaten hard for this.
After a while, he raised his head and pointed at the stars in the sky. He said to Vivian that in his hometown, there is the most easily recognizable constellation in the starry sky in winter, called Orion. There are three stars connected into a straight line, which is the belt of Orion.
After a while, his expression was gloomy again, and even said with tears in his eyes. This was his fourth New Year that he had not spent with his family. Now he missed his parents very much, and he didn't know if they were doing well now.
In a while...
...
Vivian supported Xu Yi and silently listened to the constant popping of nouns that she had never heard of before, and the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.
What are firecrackers? Are they fun?
Why would the master say that there is an Orion in the starry sky in his hometown? Is the starry sky in his hometown different from the starry sky in Bonta City?
Since the master misses his parents very much, why doesn’t he go back?
...
Questions arose in Vivian's mind, but she didn't intend to ask. Because she knew very well that the master just needed to talk to him now.
Just chatting and strolling forward, the two of them had already left Bangta City and walked to the factory office of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce outside the west suburbs of the city.
It's New Year's Eve, and the two factories are quiet. Except for the magic lamp lit by Xu Yi who specially found two bachelors who guarded the factory, the light of the magic lamp was shining in the magic machine workshop, the rest of the world was in darkness.
Xu Yi did not disturb the two guards' thoughts. He stood in the open space outside the factory and looked at the two small workshops in the dark, feeling a little emotional.
Although both workshops are small, they represent the beginning of his dreams.
Although it seems that they are just two buds, with the development of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, people on the Sines continent have gradually accepted and paid attention to the magic industry. Sooner or later, these two buds will grow into towering trees.
Suddenly, a figure was caught in the corner of his eyes, and Xu Yi was shocked. He was about to shout, but suddenly he found that the figure felt very familiar. When he looked closely, Xu Yi laughed silently.
"Hey, Heinze, if you are not at home today, why are you here to do if you are not here to stay?" Xu Yi said hello to the figure in a low voice.
The figure was shocked and looked up at this side. With a ray of light in the workshop, he found that it was Xu Yi and Vivian, so he relaxed.
The figure came over, and it was indeed Heince.
He glanced at the two of them and asked in a low voice: "I'm a little worried, so I come over to see the situation. But Xu Yi, you and Vivian are not at home to welcome the New Year, why are you here for a good time?"
"It's nothing. I just wanted to go out for a walk, so I came over naturally." Xu Yi shrugged and turned to look at the two workshops. "Maybe it's because this place occupies the most important position in my mind now, I can't help but want to come and take a look."
Heinze nodded softly: "I'm about the same. To be honest, Xu Yi, half a year ago, I was just a small grocery store owner. Even if I dreamed, I would never have thought that now I became a major shareholder of a big chamber of commerce. Many times, when I woke up, I would suspect that what I was experiencing now was fake, just my hallucinations. So I came to the factory very early every day to see this factory and these two workshops. As long as I saw them, I felt that I was not living in my dreams, and everything I experienced was real."
Seeing Haiyince's rare and emotional expression, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "No wonder you look reluctant to leave even when you get off work every day, are you afraid that you will disappear as soon as you leave here?"
Heinze nodded slightly: "Xu Yi, you know I am not a person with great ambitions. In my opinion, being able to have the current life has already made me extremely satisfied, so I cherish what I have now. I am really afraid that one day these two workshops will disappear out of thin air. If that time really comes, I even feel that I will die of sadness."
"Don't worry, this situation will not happen." Xu Yi put his arms around Heinze's shoulder and patted him hard: "These two workshops may disappear because they are too small and can no longer bear the needs of our Chamber of Commerce. What we need is a larger workplace like the new workshop. But if they disappear, more production workshops will replace them. You must believe that with the development of our Chamber of Commerce, the magic industry will spread on this continent like a ball of fire, and eventually ignite the entire Sionce continent. At that time, our Chamber of Commerce factories were everywhere on the entire Sionce continent, and our production workshops were everywhere. Heinze, could you still watch every workshop with your own eyes?"
Heince looked at the dark night, but his expression was obviously immersed in Xu Yi's description.
After a while, he murmured, "Xu Yi, will what you said become a reality?"
Xu Yi nodded extremely firmly: "It will definitely be. Because the magic industry has sprouted on this continent, no one can stop its growth. Sooner or later, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will build a big magic industry empire on this continent!"
