Before the Lunar New Year, the residents of the micro-world put aside everything they could and began preparing for the holiday.
The richness and convenience of the micro-world are unimaginable to others. Although it is much more primitive than reality, it has various resources that even the powerful and wealthy in reality cannot enjoy.
Therefore, the people of the world are also happy to have a good New Year, because it's much more enjoyable than in reality.
Needless to say, the food and drinks are top-notch. The food in the micro-world is all first-class. Now they have even produced all kinds of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and various seasonings. They even have a lot of spices like Sichuan peppercorns and star anise.
Most importantly, the micro-world has a strong festive atmosphere.
People visit each other's homes, choose good weather to clean furniture, prepare some New Year's goods, and share any good things they have with each other.
Everyone is very diligent. There's not much work to do, so it's easy. The most boring time of the year is when there's no work to do, and people would rather have something to do.
Chen Yang and Li Su'er also cleaned the house inside and out, and found a lot of things, including the ox horn combs that all the male citizens of the Micro Realm had given to the female citizens a long time ago.
These are all items that have witnessed the gradual development of the micro-world.
Things are very different now than they were back then. Even their oil pressing workshops have been upgraded multiple times, and the windmill mill has been renovated. The fish ponds where they used to raise fish are now just used for free-range fish farming.
The earliest inhabitants still remember the scene when they were researching the oil press, several of them holding oil hammers and striking it together, as well as the joy of discovering the island in the middle of the lake and the thrill of being surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Back then, the camp was nothing like it is now. It was difficult to even get something flavorful to eat. Salt was only discovered on the Loess Plateau. At that time, they preferred to eat fruit. They were sick of eating smoked meat every day.
The older residents of the former territory consider this experience a source of pride and often recount it to the newer residents. This is also why many residents choose to go to other campsites.
Some people find small towns too comfortable and prefer a more exciting and challenging life.
Of course, some people regret their decision and come back, and the town of Xindu accepts them, it just depends on whether they can swallow their pride.
Three days before the Lunar New Year, everyone put aside everything they were doing and even gave their livestock and poultry plenty of feed at once.
Everyone is focused on preparing for the important event of the Chinese New Year.
This is not reality. You have to make everything yourself, even pick and roast the sunflower seeds and peanuts yourself.
Everyone was enthusiastic and full of passion. The division of labor was also very clear. With so many people in the realm, everyone was able to find something to do, and even the children could help the adults.
Furthermore, everyone has prepared performances for this Lunar New Year. There are quite a few talented people among the community, so performing a few programs is a piece of cake. There is even an internationally renowned ballet dancer, who is Yin Weilin's sister.
Chen Yang was very happy to see this scene. He was most pleased to see the micro-world flourish. It seemed that in the future, he would not only actively introduce some world people who had mastered ancient methods, but also, if conditions allowed, give more attention to the arts.
As for painters, there's only one, Yu Xuan.
Of course, Cangyuan can be considered half a master, as he is a master of landscape painting. When the old man took his painting of clouds out to show an old friend, the friend praised it highly.
In addition to the inheritance of skills and arts, Chen Yang also plans to pay more attention to literature.
The papermaking technology in the Microworld is already quite advanced. A-Dun is currently undergoing in-depth learning in Diancheng, and it is estimated that Microworld will be able to compile books next year. At that time, if we introduce some movable type printing artisans, Microworld may even be able to open a real library and have a series of diffraction works unique to Microworld.
Novels, poems, essays, short stories, and so on—people around the world should be happy to read these.
There's still a lot to do in the new year for Microworld.
As for the changes in the Micro Realm and the hidden truth, Chen Yang put these aside for the time being. He only hopes that the Micro Realm can maintain its current development trend.
He didn't consider things so far in the future, since he was still hundreds of years away from dying. Why bother thinking about those things?
As long as he lives, he will be the guardian of the micro-world, and at the same time, a non-dictator with dictatorial power.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Su'er brought over a cup of coffee and smiled at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took the coffee and said, "I'm thinking about the future of Microworld."
"Things will definitely get better and better in the future."
“That’s true, there will be more Kopi Luwak (civet coffee),” Chen Yang said with a smile.
They don't have many civet coffee beans, after all, there are only so many civets, but there are many people in the region. They also can't bring themselves to breed civets and feed them only coffee berries, so they usually just drink regular coffee and save their civet coffee.
"By the way, have the gifts for the soldiers been delivered?" Li Su'er suddenly asked.
The thousands of troops stationed outside the border didn't have a chance to go home for the Spring Festival this year, so Chen Yang also expressed his feelings.
He led a pack of wolves and drove nearly a hundred wild cattle and sheep from the eastern part of the Ink Plains, then used a portal to enter the island in the Outer Realm. He then sent military personnel to collect them.
Nearly a hundred cattle and sheep, enough to feed several thousand people, and the quality of wild animals in the micro-world is quite high.
In addition, there are also seafood, tea, ceramics, and homemade wine.
The resources in the micro-world are in excess, so we'll allocate more to these soldiers.
Chen Yang also personally donated 10 million yuan to buy them some New Year's goods and give each of them a red envelope during the New Year.
The soldiers didn't know the specifics, but they were happy to receive the gifts, which was a kind of compensation for them.
If the soldiers from outside the boundary can receive such good treatment, one can imagine how good it is for the inhabitants of the boundary.
This year, following the same routine, Chen Yang brought out some items made by everyone in the micro-world, packed them into boxes, and sent them out. These were all rare items in real life, some of which were even shameful.
Chen Yang himself also gained a lot.
The local people would send him local specialties from home, and the inn's storage room was crammed with all sorts of things. Some of the ingredients had to be kept fresh, but luckily Chen Yang had bought a large refrigerator a couple of years ago.
In reality, he booked a small exhibition hall. Although a regular hotel could accommodate so many people, it would still be a bit crowded, and the hotel would be too noisy and chaotic for the people to interact.
The exhibition hall is currently undergoing renovations. It's not that they want a fancy renovation, but rather that they have high requirements for the kitchen. There isn't one inside the exhibition hall, so they plan to build an open kitchen in the center, where everyone can get their own food. Once a dish is cooked, everyone can simply take their bowls and help themselves.
There's no need for a large round table anymore. Just set up some tables casually, put some pastries and drinks on them, as the people of Jiemin have never pursued anything high-end or grand.
Besides, once all sorts of lobsters and king crabs are laid out, it'll look impressive even if you just sit on the floor and eat them.
