Chapter 85 Art Town (15) Celebration or Wedding
"The town celebration is about to begin. Check the planning process."
Tan Yue wore a pair of plain glasses with low prescription on his nose. He spread out the thick business plan and checked various accounts.
As an outside reporter, his job is to help Guan Shan with advice, but as the mayor's husband, he has an obligation to share the work with his lover.
After Guan Shan's sincere apology, what else could he do to the other party? They were already married and could only become widows, and divorce was impossible. Compared to a marriage of mutual respect, he still preferred a harmonious and happy marriage life.
He didn't want to wash his underwear with a sullen face while being angry.
After adjusting his mindset, Tan Yue devoted himself to his work. He appeared very serious while working to show his attitude.
Tan Yue got up early and started working. In order to welcome the festival, he paid close attention to details and took on the important task of checking all procedures for the town's festival.
Every expenditure and the implementation of specific processes must also be supervised and accepted.
Fortunately, Guanshan had a car. Because some of the alleys were narrow and parking was inconvenient, the two did not drive the historic-looking vintage car, but rode on a balance bike.
To be precise, Tan Yue was standing in front of the balance bike, holding the handlebars, and Guan Shan was holding his waist from behind. The position of the balance bike was very narrow, so the two of them were always very close to each other no matter where they went.
Tan Yue did not carry a camera. Instead, he placed the camera equipment on a balance bike. Every detail of their daily work was honestly recorded by the camera.
Because the mayor, Guan Shan, was present, the townspeople expressed their willingness to cooperate and all the work went smoothly.
In the past few days of planning activities, the residents have been giving lectures to the human employees every day: "You must cooperate with our town's activities and be positive!"
"If anyone doesn't cooperate with the event, I'll skin them alive!"
The human tourists who would have been killed in the incident were lucky enough to survive because they had to cooperate with the town to hold events, even if they didn't do a good enough job.
After all, the residents of art towns have lived here for too long, and their thinking is somewhat rigid, so these outsiders are great helpers.
Of course, outsiders who perform well will be rated as excellent employees and enjoy good treatment, but if they are waste, they will still be punished.
Some human tourists have already suffered severe punishment for violating the rules.
You have to know that although their art town is a town that loves art, there are many rules in the town. Especially for activities, the hygiene standards have been raised to a higher level.
Spitting, littering, and destroying the cleanliness of the town will be subject to severe caning!
The guards in charge of flogging are not as gentle as those in the human world. The whips are all covered with barbs and the material is not soft. One whip can take away a piece of flesh.
Where they were injured, the "gentle" resident nurses would mend them, dripping melted candle liquid onto the broken flesh.
If human visitors make more noise than allowed during the break, they will be silenced, and the punishment is simple: "Pull out the tongue of the person making the noise."
"If they spit foul language, then give them a new tongue that can speak."
There are many such customized tongues in the art shop, made of various materials, including metal tongues, candle tongues, and paper tongues, all of which are tongues that can only say nice things.
These tongues are not free, and you need to pay a salary to replace them with new ones.
For the residents of the art town, even if their local residents break the rules, they will be treated the same way. However, the local residents' changing tongue has no effect at all, but it is different for humans.
Metal tongues are better, but wax and paper tongues have a terrible effect on eating.
During this period, the tourists' mental state is not very good. Even though some people have adapted to the intensity of work and strict uniform rules, they still feel that the future is bleak.
They really want to know when they can leave this haunted place, and they are also very afraid that the ghost festival celebration will be a battle royale, and then they will become the holiday surprise of these non-human townspeople and become the townspeople's meal.
Just look at the new things hanging on the streets recently and you will know. As soon as you walk out the door, you will see scary human head balloons floating everywhere on the streets.
Those beautiful-looking flowers should not be touched casually, because if you accidentally touch the seemingly delicate petals, they will actually grow sharp teeth and bite off your fingers directly!
Fortunately, everyone is not a fool. Seeing the consequences of someone's naughty hands, everyone else obediently withdrew their hands and dared not touch those seemingly harmless decorations again.
Being a civilized, polite and hardworking employee in the art town, although life may not be particularly good, it seems to be no different from real life.
For some shop assistants, work in the art town is even easier than in real life. At least the residents of the art town seem to be more reasonable and will not find fault with others. There are also no weirdos who try to get away with paying or break the rules.
No one smokes in the art town, and residents who drink don't get drunk and act crazy, no one swears, and no one fights.
As long as their shopping requests are completed, they are kind and enthusiastic customers.
Apart from the possible danger to life and the high cost of daily necessities for human beings, it can even be called a livable town.
"The festival is coming tomorrow. I don't know if we can escape successfully after the festival. We have been working here for ten days."
No matter which store it is, this group of human employees trapped in the small town are working while nervously waiting for tomorrow to come. They feel like they are waiting for a butcher knife that is about to fall. The knife is hanging in the sky and can fall down at any time and kill them.
Tan Yue did not notice the abnormality of the shop assistants. It was normal for workers to have fake smiles on their faces and be dejected at work. The boss was working to make money for himself, while the employees just wanted to have something to eat.
The workload increased during holidays, and ordinary employees were only full of resentment, so they were naturally not happy. Anyway, he saw that the store managers were all very happy, and many townspeople had bright smiles on their faces, obviously looking forward to the upcoming celebration activities.
Tomorrow is the festival celebration. The day before, Tan Yue has to confirm all the details again: "Very good, the last household has hung up the festival flag."
A few days ago, the town distributed a large number of balloons and air pumps in advance, and placed various colorful flags in the square. Using the town’s radio, every household was asked to come and receive them, and all efforts were made to dress up the town in a festive atmosphere.
“This festival is a big festival in our town, and everyone should participate and have fun.”
No matter whether it was a commercial building or an ordinary residential building, every household hung up colorful flags in a timely manner, and many shops also tied balloons.
Tan Yue encouraged the townspeople to use their expertise to create wonderful artistic works on balloons.
Compared to the warm and lovely animal town, the art town obviously has another feature. The balloons floating in the air are not cute little animals, nor are they cute cartoon characters, but various lifelike scary balloons.
There are ferocious skulls, human skeletons, and various grinning monsters. The slightly better ones are balloons made into stone statues, but they are also very classic stone statues - stone statues of human heads.
Looking at the skulls everywhere, Tan Yue twitched his lips. Forget it. Since the residents of the art town prefer this style, they can dress up in the Halloween style. By adapting to local conditions, they will always be able to attract tourists who like this style.
In addition to actively urging residents to participate in activities, Tan Yue also has to inspect various public facilities.
The musical fountain in the center of the square must be ensured to be open normally from morning to night on the day of the festival, and the music played on that day must also be checked.
In addition, there are various flowers displayed during major festivals.
Pots of bougainvillea, phalaenopsis, hydrangea... are all colorful and in clusters. These brightly blooming flowers greatly add to the festive atmosphere.
The flower pots in the center of the square were arranged in a specially designed pattern. Tan Yue originally meant: "Just put the letters of Art Town."
There's no need to be elaborate on these parts; keeping them simple is enough.
But Guan Shan was not happy: "Make it into a human figure."
Tan Yue glanced at him and changed the previous letter pattern design: "The mayor has contributed a lot to the GDP of the art town. In order to praise the mayor's contribution, the flower pattern in the festival square will be changed to a huge portrait of the mayor."
The design of the portrait must have been created by him personally.
When he said this, Guan Shan did not deny it, but when Tan Yue stood in front of the table and started drawing, Guan Shan came over.
He leaned over to Tan Yue, whispered in his ear, and blew his fragrant breath into his ear: "Add your face too, and want a profile picture of me and you."
Tan Yue was unwilling to do so. As a designer, he had his own persistence and would not easily change the plan: "I have finished the drawing. This is the final draft. I will not change it."
Guan Shan stood behind him, his soft and warm body pressed against Tan Yue's back, his hands wrapped around his flexible and thin waist. He held Tan Yue's hand and said, "If you don't want to change, I will."
He laughed softly and said, "I am the mayor of the Art Town and the Party A of this event. Party B should listen to Party A's proposal."
Tan Yue had his hand held by him. He didn't struggle, but he also didn't exert any strength. He completely let Guan Shan do what he wanted.
The two held hands like this, and the design of the single-person avatar was finally successfully changed into a double-person avatar. Tan Yue looked at the final design draft with a complicated expression.
But he opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. He was just an auxiliary designer and the client had the final say.
After checking all the projects today, Tan Yue went to the square to see the finished flower pot heads. The design of these two flower pot heads certainly could not completely restore their beauty, but it also captured the essence and restored 80% of it.
On the left is Tan Yue, and on the right is Guan Shan. The two people in the double portrait are actually kissing.
"This event isn't Valentine's Day, are you really not going to change it?"
He tried hard to find reasons to convince Guan Shan: "Will kissing corrupt children? It's not a good influence."
Guan Shan's attitude was firm: "Love is also an important part of art. It's just a flower image. Ah Shan, I think this painting is beautiful. For works in the art town, as long as they are artistic enough, nothing else matters."
Throughout history, there are so many works of art that are related to the theme of love. Many kissing portraits are hung in corridors for people to see. Moreover, the whole body is not constructed in this pattern, just two big heads. There is nothing wrong with it.
Having failed to successfully convince Guan Shan, Tan Yue just sighed. After all, it was a work they created together. Since Guan Shan insisted on doing it, then let it be.
"Come on up, let's go home for dinner." After finishing all the work on the last day before the festival, Tan Yue got on the balance bike again and took his lover back to the castle.
Guan Shan asked Tan Yue: "What do you want to eat today?"
They finished their work very early today, and the acceptance work was completed at about 5 pm, just as the sun was setting, which looked very romantic.
Tan Yue responded subconsciously: "I eat skewers at home. I've been eating barbecue and barbecue these days. It's a bit boring. Let's eat something different."
They changed their taste tonight and instead of eating barbecue, they ate skewers cooked in red oil.
There are no skewers for sale in the art town, but skewers are really suitable for food at events because they are small in portion and come in many varieties. They are a specialty food that can be found in any food street in any city or at any food stall at any event.
Tan Yue did not order the soup sold in the store, but mixed the ingredients himself according to his favorite taste. However, since he had a big appetite, in order to save himself time, he did not buy vegetables and prepare them, but directly selected the ingredients.
Then we hired many cooks to help prepare the ingredients. They used bamboo sticks to arrange the skewers in a very regular pattern and put them into the pot.
After all the fresh skewers of meat and vegetables were soaked in the boiled vegetarian broth and filled with the soup, they were then fed into his stomach one by one.
Tan Yue ate a bite and fed Guan Shan a bite. The two of them ate for several hours and still had enough free hands to play games together.
I have added a two-player arcade machine at home, and I play music games that relax my mind and aren't tiring at all.
After all, games are considered the ninth art, so the appearance of game consoles in an art town is not at all out of place.
They sat on the big lawn at home and played together. The sound of the game rose and fell, and even the most tense emotions seemed to be soothed by the relaxing music.
That night, the two of them did another night warm-up exercise, but this time it didn't last long. Tan Yue went to bed early, falling asleep at 10 o'clock on time, and got up at 6 o'clock the next morning to prepare for the grand town celebration.
The next morning, Tan Yue was awakened by the sound of cannon salutes.
He heard the noise and looked at the time. It was 6 o'clock in the morning. He was wearing pajamas and drawing the curtains. The clock tower at home struck "ding ding ding" six times, and then firecrackers started to be set off.
The fireworks exploded in the sky, forming eight large colorful characters: "Art Town Festival Celebration"
"Good morning, Guanshan, happy holidays, dear."
"Happy holidays, I love you too." Guan Shan instantly appeared beside him from the bed, leaned over and gave him a sticky hot kiss. The kiss lasted for ten minutes, which aroused Tan Yue's anger, but he held back.
Today is a holiday, we can’t fool around: “Go brush your teeth, you need to dress up nicely today.”
Tan Yue washed his face and used facial cleanser to clean it thoroughly. When brushing his teeth, he was even more serious, using a very standard method of brushing teeth, strictly brushing for three minutes.
I changed out of my simple pajamas and put on the formal suit I had picked out earlier. This suit was decided a few days ago and was tailor-made for me by a tailor in the small town.
He and Guan Shan each have a set of clothes, which are obviously couple styles and are very slim-fitting.
Tan Yue is good-looking to begin with, with tall height, long legs, broad shoulders and a thin waist. He is a natural clothes hanger, with the standard model figure that would look good even in a sack. Coupled with this face, anything he wears is impeccable.
Paired with this specially tailored suit that magnifies the advantages, it is simply a king bomb, reaching a new level of handsomeness.
Tan Yue looked at his image in the mirror, and his expression unconsciously became more serious. He asked Guan Shan, "How is it? Does it look good?"
The god was not stingy with his praise: "Very beautiful, as beautiful as me."
Tan Yue raised the corner of his lips: "No more talking, let's have breakfast."
Their breakfast today was odorless toast and sweet milk made with strawberry jam, which was slightly sweet and sour.
When drinking milk, she used a straw, so there would be no milk stains on her lips, but the god still found an excuse to kiss her: "Let me check if there is any milk residue in your mouth."
In fact, the smell of strawberry milk is not bad. It is fragrant and sweet, with a refreshing strawberry aroma.
But in the end, Tan Yue used mouthwash again, the one he usually used, to cover the strawberry milk flavor with a more refreshing mint and lemon flavor.
The weather in the town is very good. This period should be the autumn of the art town, or to be more precise, it is the transition from summer to early autumn, and from the hot summer to the cool autumn.
The weather today is also particularly good. The sun came out at 6 o'clock in the morning. The orange sun with a red face hung in the sky. The sky was cloudless and the autumn air was refreshing.
After finishing breakfast, Tan Yue and Guan Shan walked out hand in hand. They didn't drive today, nor did they plan to ride a balance bike.
Guan Shan said, "Today we are riding bicycles, and I want to sit behind you."
A brand new bicycle was pushed out. It was a particularly beautiful sky blue bicycle, a mountain bike with very comfortable riding. There was a large bicycle basket in the front of the bicycle, and a soft cushion was installed on the back seat. The cushion was pink and had a beautiful bow, which looked very girly.
He removed the camera equipment that he had placed on the balance bike yesterday, installed it on the handlebars of the mountain bike, and then adjusted the angle.
The cell phone was in the pocket of his suit and some important documents were stuffed in the basket.
Tan Yue stepped into the car with his long legs, and Guan Shan sat behind him lightly, almost without any weight.
In fact, there was no need to worry about the mysterious comfort, but after getting in the car, he subconsciously turned his head to look at his lover: "Sit tight."
Without his instructions, Guan Shan skillfully hugged his waist and held it tightly.
Tan Yue hasn't ridden a bicycle for a long time. The last time he rode was in college. But this is muscle memory. Even if he loses his memory, he will not forget it easily. His skills are still very good.
But when he rode his bike out of the garage and rode along the cross road in the castle, Tan Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
The originally green garden trees in the castle have changed overnight and have become colorful today. The patterns have changed overnight and the positions of the trees have also changed.
It was obvious that after Guan Shan stopped pretending, he was squandering his divine power at home without any scruples.
The garden trees in their house were originally the simplest green shrubs with various patterns, ordinary trunks, and green branches and leaves trimmed into various shapes.
When the sun shines, the leaves turn green and look full of vitality.
But this morning, some of the leaves turned pink, some turned red, and some turned blue.
Overnight, all the trees bloomed in large patches of flowers, turning from green-leafed trees into blooming flower trees.
Moreover, all kinds of small gardening animals have changed from single ones to pairs, and can be seen everywhere, with all kinds of love hearts, such as two swans embracing each other.
Puppies, two puppies twisted into the shape of a heart. There was also a cat making a heart shape with its tail. It seemed as if the entire castle had stepped into the ocean of love and turned into the shape of a heart.
Tan Yue was in a complicated mood. Guan Shan was still behind him, poking his back with his fingertips: "Does it look good?"
"It's very nice." He said this, and felt that the fancy things at home were too much to look at. He stepped on the pedals and rode out with the god behind him.
Fortunately, the greenery outside the town seems to have remained the same, still with green branches and leaves, but with the addition of balloons tied up a few days ago, and various small colored lights tied up.
These colored lights do not glow during the day, and if you don't look closely, they are almost invisible, but at night they will come into play, making the whole tree particularly shiny.
"Good morning."
After they went out, there were townspeople standing on the road outside them.
Every town resident I met on the road greeted them enthusiastically and proactively: "Good morning, Mayor! Good morning, Mr. Tan. I wish you both a happy holiday."
The two townspeople stood together and spoke to Tan Yue in unison.
Tan Yue found it a bit strange. After all, the townspeople in this town clearly feared the mayor Guan Shan more than they respected him. So it was not normal for them to wait near his house and greet him enthusiastically.
Despite this, Tan Yue still used the brakes to stop the bike, "Good morning," he replied politely.
When he was about to continue riding, two enthusiastic townspeople suddenly rushed over, put two roses into their bicycle baskets, and ran away quickly.
Tan Yue looked down at the roses, then looked at the place where the townspeople had originally stood. The two townspeople ran away as fast as the wind and completely disappeared.
His feelings suddenly became more subtle! Was today a festival or was it his wedding with Guan Shan? !
