Some people die, but their ashes are scattered on the ground, making people realize that the deceased still has value after cremation. Just for this point, Khrushchev was completely impressed by Xiao Han, though of course, there was an element of flattery involved.
"Does the wine taste good when you're wrapped in a cotton-padded coat in the dead of winter?"
"It's delicious, refreshing and warming. Hey bro, wanna have some?"
Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder, and at the same time, a clear, spring-like voice rang out, causing the delivery driver, who had been secretly drinking, to exhale a mouthful of hot alcohol and instinctively respond.
"Ahem, no need for alcohol, uncle. I remember the little fox city lord once said, 'Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking. Aren't you afraid of causing an accident on the road?'"
A slender figure in uniform stood beside the carriage, asking in confusion.
"It's nothing, just a small sip. I can hold my liquor very well."
The delivery driver chuckled, and when talking about the city lord, he unusually didn't lose his temper and was quite enthusiastic, as if he had found an outlet for the words that were bottled up inside.
"To be honest, this wine was left over from the banquet. In the past, I would have been reluctant to drink it because it was too rare and was a fine wine enjoyed by nobles."
"But the city lord is too good to us. Not only do we get free cotton-padded clothes, but he also puts aside his airs and eats meat and drinks wine with us. Since the city lord has said so, I certainly won't drink a drop more."
"Haha, it's funny to think about, but just a few days ago I was worried that my family wouldn't be warm enough. My youngest daughter is three years old and her lips were turning purple from the cold. Her mother passed away early, and I don't know how to take care of people, so I just wrapped her in a few old linen clothes."
The delivery driver scratched his head, a look of gratitude appearing on his fierce face.
"Fortunately, the city lord distributed cotton-padded clothes and specially made wool blankets. In the past, these would have cost three silver coins, which was extremely expensive. But the city lord is indeed a sage. He gave them to us for free. We really don't know how to thank him."
He smiled shyly, glanced at the supplies on the carriage, and suddenly realized: "Damn it, the people from the Southern Manor are still waiting for me to deliver the goods. Goodbye, brother."
Then, without looking back, he sealed the bottle and put it back in his pocket.
After chatting for a while, he drove the carriage and hurried towards his next destination, using his excellent driving skills to create a mesmerizing curve at the bend.
Witnessing this, Xiao Han took off his motorcycle helmet, and his lips twitched.
He was just doing a routine inspection when a middle-aged man in a car suddenly appeared. He was about to remind the man not to drink and drive... but instead, the man gave him a thumbs up, making this devilish man question his existence.
Perhaps I really am a noble and helpful fox, so much so that even the lords of the wasteland kneel down and say hello.
"Team, Captain?!"
The next moment, after being reported by the cat people for driving under the influence of alcohol, a city management officer walked out of the shed with lightning speed and suddenly saw Xiao Han.
"Ahem, I'm here specifically to check on your progress. Keep up the good work and try to beat the others. I have high hopes for you."
Xiao Han smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder, which made the latter quite excited.
He recognized this city management officer; he was one of his old subordinates who had followed him all the way, as evidenced by the +75 favorability rating above his head.
It is said that he is also one of the fanatical followers of the Little Fox Cult, and he is extremely ruthless. If any drunk adventurer speaks ill of the Little Fox, he will be the first to grab a wine bottle and smash it on the other person's forehead.
"Captain, the fertilizer is really effective. The leaves have grown in just a few days."
The urban management officer pointed to rows of thriving crops; the tender green seedlings had broad leaves and were growing rapidly under various conditions.
Some magic is also cast periodically to allow the roots to quickly absorb nutrients, accelerating their growth as people chant.
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Han coughed a few times and glanced at the solid granular fertilizer.
Cremated remains contain abundant phosphorus. Phosphate fertilizer has many functions, such as accelerating the growth of crop roots, promoting the absorption of water and nutrients by crops, improving utilization efficiency, and thus growing more lush leaves and flowers.
Moreover, Xiao Han still has some faint memories from his previous life. Phosphate fertilizer can promote flowering and fruiting of crops such as melons, eggplants, vegetables, and fruit trees, and increase the yield of crops. When the cold winter comes, phosphate fertilizer can also increase the cold resistance and disease resistance of crops.
In general, although some nutrients are lost during cremation, cremated remains are more fertile than corpses and are easier to carry.
He glanced at the scene and saw several staff members trembling with fear at the arrival of the city lord, carrying water jugs and sprinkling the ashes in rows.
Yes, keeping the soil moist after fertilization helps crops digest the nutrients.
Facing the awe-inspiring and fervent gazes of the crowd, Xiao Han glanced at them a few times, offered some encouragement, then remembered his important business and left.
"While the heat from the rock chains is still providing, let's take a look at the mystery shop first."
He shook his head, stepped out of the planting area, and walked towards the ruins of the Church of the Holy See, where he planted a sacred tree.
The sacred tree's silhouette and trunk remain strikingly prominent, regarded by the entire city as a symbol of wisdom.
The lush foliage rippled in the cold wind, creating waves of emerald green that swayed gently in the breeze.
Xiao Han looked up at the sacred tree, and an information interface appeared in his pupils.
Mysterious Shop.
Updated daily at midnight 24:00. These past few days, Xiao Han has been staring at the "orange tree" merchandise with a rather fiery gaze.
In fact, although the shop only had three seats, the goods displayed made a fox's mouth water.
A golden suit that combines offense, defense, and support; a movement technique that transforms the body into rainbow light and traverses the void; an eternal furnace that nourishes life force; a sequence of divine trees that evolve into azure skies and emerald light; and a potion that transforms one into an eight-armed giant and retains the bloodline of a giant god…
