Chapter 174 174. The child’s name
The sky gradually darkened and lost its light.
The fluttering snowflakes are mixed in with the wind and snow.
White steam rose from the chimneys of the houses.
The soldiers patrolling the road, holding kerosene lamps in their hands, asked pedestrians who were stopping on the road one by one.
At some point, the world gradually became silent.
The whistling wind subsided and the snowflakes fell.
Outside the gate of Fulin Castle, Lovey lifted the hood on his head, and white snow seeds fell down.
It’s time to eat!
He walked into the private dining room and sat at the main seat.
Lodel arrived very early and was looking through the documents in his hand with a slight frown on his face.
The news coming from afar makes people feel heavy.
"Madam, why are you so worried?" Lovi looked at Lodel with his eyes slanted.
She put down the document in her hand, shook her head and sighed: "Miserable!"
Cannibalism are just four simple words. Who can feel the sorrow behind them?
In the absence of food, money has no purchasing power. The only thing that is useful is one's own strength. Follow the law of the jungle. The strong take the food of the weak, and if there is no food, eat the weak.
Order collapsed and civilization regressed to the barbaric era.
The situation in the Principality of Xien still has a certain bottom line. The closer to the Free Territory, the more stable the situation is. Every household has food stored.
In the southern and western territories, the price system almost collapsed. Banditry abounded, and caravans were repeatedly attacked, gradually forcing them to stop logistics and transportation.
In the end, the only information left from afar was a few words from Morning Light City.
For dinner, each person had a bowl of hot seafood noodles with cuckoo eggs and sashimi on the table. If you were not full, there was white bread and dessert after the meal.
It was just an ordinary day and the food was not as rich as yesterday.
However, people are still very satisfied and immersed in the joy of enjoying delicious food.
Fulinbao is much richer than in previous years.
It is not only reflected in the diversity of food, but also in more convenient life.
The magic lamp on the top of the restaurant condenses dazzling light elements and is many times brighter than a kerosene lamp.
In previous years, it would not be used lightly unless it was a major holiday.
Magic Stone is a valuable strategic material that can be exchanged with silver at almost a one-to-one ratio.
Using magic stones to illuminate is completely equivalent to spending money.
But Fulin Castle has no shortage of resources now!
The warehouse is filled with precious metals, gold, silver, magic stones and other resources.
Gold and silver can be used to mint coins and make utensils, so they are quite useful.
If the magic stone is not used, it will just be a pile of useless stones. It is not good looking and takes up space in the warehouse! Moreover, the light of the kerosene lamp is too dim and is not good for people's eyes.
Compared with money, eyesight is more important. Lovey took a mouthful of noodles thoughtfully.
The seafood noodles are very salty and fresh. They are good to eat occasionally, but you will get tired of them if you eat them often.
Lowe tried to develop more recipes, but the biggest problem was not the lack of soy sauce, chili sauce and other condiments, but the lack of vegetables!
Food is scarce in winter, and vegetables and fruits are not in season.
Compared to meat, plant food is more difficult to obtain. Just like the living environment of Russians in the technological world in my memory.
Vegetables are more expensive than meat!
In this case, cooking is impossible. How can you cook without vegetables? Fortunately, I have stored some fruits in glass cans. Otherwise, I won't see any fresh vegetables until the beginning of next spring.
Lovey shook his head and let his mind wander to imagine the greenhouse plan.
Everyone had long been accustomed to the lord's inexplicable behavior.
After the meal, the servants took away the plates.
Everyone was still sitting there waiting for the kitchen to serve dessert.
"Eat less sweets!"
Lovi's warning was ignored by Lodel. The two of them fought over a small cake covered with cream. Lovi cut it in half so that she could eat less.
This is quite offensive.
Laudel decided to have a good talk with her husband, waited patiently for him to leave, and followed him.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Lovi was pulled into the bedroom by Lodel, and the wooden door was shut heavily. "I warn you, it's not good for the child to do this. You must cherish this hard-earned opportunity and don't let personal enjoyment lead to accidents."
Laudel admitted that he had a point, but she was not happy in her heart: "Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
"Not so fast."
Isn't it still undecided? Luo Wei thought to himself, he was afraid that he would be happy for nothing.
"It doesn't matter how fast it is. What matters is whether you are ready to be a father."
"You have to know whether it's a boy or a girl before you name it."
"You pick a few first, I pick a few, and then mother picks a few, and then the rest of the family, each of you pick one, and we can discuss and decide which is the best."
"Don't think too far ahead." Lowe suddenly hugged Lodel, put his ear close to find the location, listened quietly for a while, and released his mental power to feel it carefully.
Unfortunately, nothing happened. Lovi did not tell Lodel the cruel truth, at least to make her happy for a few more days.
It is always better to have hope than to have no hope at all.
"If it's a son, then name him Yuelong, and if it's a daughter, then name her Yueqing."
"Are you saying the opposite? Do you want your son to be a dragon knight? And your daughter to be an honest scholar?" Lodel questioned.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Lovey blinked innocently.
Anger burned in Lodel's eyes, and he raised his voice and said, "Don't joke like that."
She approved of the "Yue" character, which became the symbol of the new generation. However, the character following it, which represented the expectations of the parents, needed to be carefully considered.
"What name did you give it?" Lovey hurriedly tried to divert his wife's anger.
Lodel suppressed the emotion on her face and murmured, "I have a feeling that it must be our daughter. She will inherit our talents in the future and become the strongest person on the continent, dominating an era."
"Stop, stop bragging. As long as the child is healthy, that's enough. As for him becoming the strongest person, that's just wishful thinking on your part. Don't always do what you want. That's too selfish." Lovey scolded in one breath.
There is a saying that goes, Mom is doing this for your own good.
This is moral kidnapping and a manifestation of the desire to control children.
Parents can influence their children, but it is best not to intervene directly and change their children's dreams.
Laudel said coldly: "You want your daughter to be like you, a noble lady who does nothing every day? I will never allow that! As my daughter, she must take on her responsibilities. Become strong, protect the territory, protect the people. Be fair and honest! Be loved by everyone!"
"How can you be sure that it's a daughter? Really..." Lovi couldn't understand where Lodel's confidence came from. She was so sure that she seemed to have lost her mind.
"The child will be named Yue Mio, or Yue Yin." Lodel wrote on the palm of Lovey's hand with her fingertips.
Time passed day by day, and it was November. Except for the frequent snow, the weather was not very cold. At least people had the opportunity to spend a long time outdoors.
The busy city of Donggang is full of construction sites, and as refugees join in, the workforce is growing rapidly.
