Chapter 789: Silence
After making arrangements for the wood elves in the exchange group, the staff left first.
Seeing the staff leaving, the wood elves relaxed a little, and then a few of them almost couldn't wait to get in front of the set of tables and chairs.
Taking into account the space in the dormitory, the tables and chairs provided to them are foldable.
The staff had already given a brief demonstration when introducing it before, and the operation itself was also very simple, so the Wood Elf was able to get the hang of it quickly.
Amid the exclamations of the tribesmen, the seemingly overlapping wooden boards unfolded smoothly and turned into a table.
Then the two sides were folded and it became an overlapping wooden board.
The wood elves exclaimed in surprise and were eager to try it out.
"Let me try, let me try!"
"It's my turn next!"
Looking at that group of ignorant tribesmen, Sean rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He had seen this folding table and chairs when the two sides had their initial interview, so naturally he wouldn't make as much of a fuss as these guys did.
He stood aside with his hands folded across his chest the whole time, looking speechless.
However, a few minutes passed, and the tribesmen were having a lot of fun fiddling with the set of folding chairs, and no one paid any attention to him at all.
This time, Sean finally couldn't stay any longer.
"Hey! Let me try it too!"
The folding and combined design was truly magical to the wood elves.
They seemed to never get tired of playing. They kept folding the folding tables and chairs in the dormitory. If no one called them, they could play like this for the whole day.
However, there was only one set of table and chairs. While other members of the tribe were playing, the idle wood elves quickly shifted their attention to other objects in the dormitory.
The bed undoubtedly became their main focus of observation.
There are no such bunk beds in their village.
However, the staff had already explained it to them, so they didn't feel troubled by it.
Reaching out to touch the bed and the bedding and pillows on it, the wood elf only felt an indescribable dryness, completely different from the ones in their village.
They also have things like beds and quilts in their village, but because they have lived in the dense forest for many years, their beds and quilts are mostly damp.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, after all it has always been like this, and at the same time they had no comparison.
And now, this contrast emerges.
Touching the dry bed covers, the wood elf couldn't help but lay down on it.
At that moment, the comfort that was clearly different from the past brought him great peace, and he relaxed all of a sudden.
They had accumulated a lot of fatigue on the journey, and now lying down on the dry and comfortable bed, the wood elf didn't want to move as his body relaxed.
The movement here soon attracted the attention of other wood elves, and their attention finally shifted from the folding tables and chairs to the bed.
When they reached out their hands, the mere touch of it gave them a great surprise.
Looking at the tribesman lying on the lower bunk with a peaceful look on his face, they felt a little more understanding.
During this time, they naturally noticed the large dirty footprints on the bed, and then subconsciously looked at their bare feet.
In the past, they really didn't care much about this problem, but now looking at the footprints imprinted on the clean bed, they feel that they are eye-catching no matter how they look at them, and temporarily gave up the idea of climbing onto the bed to feel it.
"I understand. That's why the humans in the Great Zhou all wear that strange object on their feet."
The wood elves in the dormitory suddenly realized what was going on.
"Then what should we do? Ask them for it? Will they give it to us?"
Just by thinking, they realized that without the foot-catching device here, it would cause them a lot of trouble.
For a moment, the wood elves all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Just then, the dormitory door was knocked again, and another staff member came in with something.
After seeing the wood elves, he smiled and said...
"This is your first visit to our Great Zhou, and our Majesty has specially prepared gifts for you,"
As they were talking, sets of exquisitely crafted clothes were delivered to each wood elf, including the shoes that the wood elves had mentioned earlier.
The staff then very considerately gave a brief explanation before leaving.
During this time, the wood elves touched the clothes in their hands and were speechless.
The wood elves also have linen, but there are differences between linen and other linens. Compared with the linen made by the wood elves themselves, the linen produced by the Great Zhou is much more comfortable to the touch.
Not to mention that they were given a slightly expensive woolen sweater.
According to what the staff just said, the linen shirt is the base and the woolen shirt is worn outside.
The touch of the linen clothes, which was different from ordinary linen, was enough to surprise them. Then, the moment they put on the woolen coat, they all didn't know what to say.
They never knew that putting on a piece of clothing could make the body so warm.
Are wood elves not afraid of cold? Not really! The body temperature of the elves is very close to that of humans. The only difference is that they are born with energy that is far superior to that of humans, which strengthens their physical fitness and even their organs, making them more resilient. Therefore, they can endure extreme cold and heat to a certain extent.
But this doesn't mean they don't feel cold, at most they've just gotten used to it.
After changing into a full set of clothes, the originally slovenly wood elves were instantly transformed into well-dressed people of the Great Zhou.
After a while, the staff came again in a carriage and took them to a sumptuous dinner.
At the end of the day, many young wood elves were extremely excited, but some older wood elves simply remained silent.
After nightfall, after a simple wash, they lay on their comfortable beds and fell into deep thought.
During this short period of time, they experienced a life that was completely different from the life they had in the forest.
A labor-saving carriage, comfortable beds, warm clothes, and food so delicious that it almost made them speechless.
All of this brought them an unprecedented devastating impact, almost destroying their original lives.
And this is exactly Zhou Xu's purpose.
No matter which era, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the things that are closest to people's lives.
This time he would start from here, making the wood elves thoroughly feel the gap between them and their Great Zhou, and let them quickly adapt to the better life here.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once the wood elves are completely accustomed to the life in the Great Zhou, it will not be so easy to change back.
