The pace of life in "Blackwood City" is very slow. After the people here get up, the first thing they do is to burn the charcoal fire in the house. The weather is cold at night, so they must add charcoal to burn them in order to sleep. Otherwise, they will really freeze to death.
Whether it is "Blackwood City" or other cities, every year many people have no chance to get up after sleeping. When they are discovered in the morning, they are already hard.
It's extremely cold at night and hot during the day, so removing the excess charcoal is also to save money. Wealthier households burn charcoal, while poorer households burn coal.
The Mayan Empire sometimes has double standards. It dislikes the technological development of the Han Dynasty for polluting the environment, but never mentions the waste gas and dust produced by burning coal. It can see the shortcomings of others but cannot see its own problems.
The second thing is to make breakfast. This is the same as the people of the Han Dynasty. The difference is the choice of food. The Mayans are used to eating corn in the morning and drinking a special soup when eating breakfast.
Fungus soup.
Orchid fungus is a specialty of "Blackwood City". Orchid fungus can only grow on the fossils of black trees. It is rare in quantity and expensive. Ordinary people have no chance to enjoy it. They will scrape off the soil where the fungus grows. , used to make soup or tea. Drinking this earthy tea soup can change your physique, reduce illness, improve immunity, etc.
"Does it really have such an effect?" Liu Wei'an asked.
"Yes!" Huang Yueyue, Fang Xiaoyuan and Loris Tanggula nodded at the same time with affirmative tone.
"A wisp of soil has this magical effect, wouldn't it be even more magical?" Liu Wei'an said.
"I was lucky enough to drink it once. It really made my body clear and refreshing." Loris Tanggula showed a nostalgic expression.
Orchid-scented fungus has been monopolized by the aristocratic circle. His strength can be considered as a semi-successful person, but he still has no chance to drink orchid-scented fungus tea. The time he did drink it, he followed the leader to visit a big shot. That big shot Corporal Li Xian, he just mixed a cup of tea by luck.
He was very grateful for the respect of that big shot. Other big shots would never have looked at him, let alone served him tea.
"Is there any orchid fungus available in "Saint Grace Church"?" Liu Wei'an asked.
"The Church of Holy Grace is the largest trading market for orchids and fungus." Loris Tanggula replied.
"Let's go!" Liu Wei'an couldn't wait.
"Saint Grace Church" is the largest church in Blackwood City, located in the largest pyramid, because the name of the pyramid is Saint Grace Huifu Yi Ke Lang Dar Bang Pola Sui Fulin Wu Xiaohara. The name is very long, mainly due to translation. However, this is a translation that has been simplified as much as possible. If it is read in Mayan language, it is twice as long, and the writing is about the same. From this aspect, I still admire the people of Blackwood City. Such a long name, Fortunately, they remember it so clearly that they can tell it to anyone if asked.
The name is very long, but the meaning is very simple, that is, the blessing of the pure, clean, and great true God. This pyramid represents a good wish and is the blessing of the true God.
The first floor of the church is a market, which is equivalent to a large supermarket, with various shops. The second floor is the church. The monthly big prayer is held on the second floor. The third floor is Where the clergy live and reside, the fourth floor is where the church's senior staff live and work.
The fifth floor is the living area of the temple knights. The sixth floor is vacant. The seventh floor is the area of the cardinal. Ordinary clergy are not eligible to enter. However, the seventh floor is always empty because the red cardinal The bishop rarely works in the Holy Grace Church and rarely comes once a month. He usually lives in his own small courtyard.
The supermarkets of the Han Dynasty were bright, clean, neat, orderly, large in scale, directly connected from top to bottom, connected by elevators, and clearly hierarchical. The pyramid market has only one floor, which is dark, narrow, and chaotic. Its only advantage is that it is not crowded.
In Blackwood City, there are not many people shopping. The people here have to work every day. They don't have time to look for orchid fungus, so they can't waste it shopping. Those who can come to shop are the upper class people of Blackwood City.
"Yueyue, didn't you say
Were the Mayans conservative? "Liu Wei'an suddenly pursed his lips. There was a young man in gorgeous clothes, followed by two women. The woman on the left was wearing a bright red dress. The material of the dress was a very thin silk thread, not like silk. I don't know what it was. Animal ones, when worn on the body, have a translucent effect, appearing faintly when walking.
The woman on the right is only wearing a robe, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, a pair of long and slender legs under a dark blue miniskirt, black mesh legs, and crystal high heels. The whole person looks full of temptation.
Pedestrians passing by couldn't help but cast their eyes downwards, and when they passed each other, their steps slowed down unconsciously.
"You can tell at a glance that these two people are not Mayans." Huang Yueyue looked at them and felt a little disgusted. The two women were wearing heavy makeup, and she knew at a glance that they were not good women.
"How did you tell?" Liu Wei'an asked, because they were at the rear left and could only see a profile and back, but not the front, so it was difficult to tell which country the other party belonged to.
In terms of height and weight, there is not much difference between the Han Dynasty, the Mayan Empire and Atlantis.
"They are sprayed with the perfume of the three birds. This kind of perfume is only liked by people in Atlantis. People in the Mayan Empire and the Han Dynasty do not have the habit of spraying this kind of perfume." Huang Yueyue said.
"Three Birds? Such a strange name." This is the first time Liu Wei'an has heard of it.
"A kind of bird unique to the country of Atlantis. During mating, the heart will produce a hormone. This hormone mixes with the blood and emits a strange fragrance. The male three birds use this fragrance to attract the female bird and reproduce. Descendants." Fang Xiaoyuan explained.
"Do female birds emit fragrance?" Liu Wei'an asked.
"No!" Fang Xiaoyuan replied.
"Fragrance comes from the heart, doesn't it mean that if you want to get perfume, you have to-" Huang Yueyue's face showed unbearable.
"That's right, kill the male bird and take out the heart. Every drop of Three Birds' perfume represents a life." Fang Xiaoyuan said.
"The people of the Atlantis Empire are so cruel." Huang Yueyue said.
Fang Xiaoyuan smiled and said nothing. Killing a bird is cruel, but what about killing someone? Not to mention after the end, before the end, how many people have their hands covered with blood. Are they cruel or not?
After all, Huang Yueyue grew up in a home with good food and clothing. She had no need to experience many sufferings in the world.
"Climbing the Mountain", this name stopped Liu Wei'an for a long time, and he didn't understand what it meant. In the pyramid market, Orchid Fragrance Fungus has the largest trading volume and the best quality. When he walked in, inside the store, There are already two groups of guests.
One group is the young man I saw before, with two female companions, one is tall and wearing a gauze dress, hazy, and the other is bold and unrestrained, with bare shoulders and legs, not afraid of the cold at all.
There was only one person in the other group, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a mustache and confident eyes.
Liu Wei'an walked in with people, and the small shop was suddenly crowded. The elephant was already ready to bend down. Seeing how narrow the inside was, he took a step back and refused to go in. The pig intestines had the same idea and stood at the door of the shop.
In the end, only Liu Wei'an, Fang Xiaoyuan and Huang Yueyue walked in.
The shop owner should be about 70 years old, well-maintained, with black hair and rosy skin. He was wearing formal clothes that the Mayans would only wear on holidays. He was talking to the young man when he saw someone coming in. He glanced around and saw Liu Wei'an. He paused for a moment, flashed a hint of displeasure, and continued talking to the young man without saying anything.
"...In the current environment, the price of orchid-scented fungus changes every day. The price of low-grade orchid-scented fungus is the same every day. The output of high-grade orchid-scented fungus is unstable, and the price is even more unstable. If you think I am too It’s expensive, you can go elsewhere.”.5
The young man's face suddenly turned ugly, and the woman in the miniskirt immediately shouted: "Why do you talk like this? Doesn't the customer know God? The price our young master gave is already very high. If you know better, you can agree quickly."
The shopkeeper's face darkened, and he wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he held it back. He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Mr. Liu He, what do you want? How much?"
"The old rule is, 30 pounds of medium-grade orchid-flavored fungus, and 10 pounds of high-grade orchid-flavored fungus." The man's voice was very magnetic.
"Mr. Liu He, although you are an old customer, I would like to remind you that I can sell the medium-grade orchid-scented fungus to you at the original price, but the price of the high-grade orchid-scented fungus has increased by 30%," the shop owner said.
"Understood." The middle-aged man named Liu He seemed to have been prepared and didn't care at all.
"Why should we raise the price when it is the original price? Are the medium-grade orchid fungus sold to us different?" the woman in the miniskirt asked loudly.
"Mr. Liu He is an old customer of our "Mountain Climbing". He purchases more than 500 kilograms from me every month. For old customers who have long-term cooperation, I will give you a discount. Is there any problem?" the shop owner said calmly.
"No problem, but I also want to buy it at the original price." The young man's tone was unquestionable. The shop owner showed impatience on his face, and the next second, his expression froze.
"Our young master comes from "Julu City", and the red archbishop of "Julu City" is our young master's grandfather." The woman in the miniskirt raised her chin proudly.
"Julu City" is the top city of the Mayan Empire. Its scale, population, economy, and land are not comparable to small cities like Blackwood City. "Julu City" is the city where the archbishop was born. Generally speaking, 10 or more red-clothed A bishop can produce an archbishop.
Blackwood City could only think that it was almost impossible for a cardinal to become an archbishop at Green's age.
"I have met the young master!" Although the shop owner was very reluctant, he had to salute respectfully. If the young man's identity was true, everyone in Blackwood City, except Bishop Green and the Lord of the City Lord's Mansion, would have to salute the young man when they saw him.
The relaxed smile on Liu He's face disappeared, and he quickly bent down and saluted: "I have met the young master."
"You three, are you still not polite?" The shopkeeper and Liu He both bowed their heads. It seemed that Liu Wei'an, Fang Xiaoyuan and Huang Yueyue were standing too straight. The woman in the miniskirt arrogantly scolded the three of them. In fact, she was not interested in Liu Wei'an. An didn't have any objections, but she couldn't see Huang Yueyue. She seemed weak, but the aristocratic aura exuding from the inside made her jealous. This was an aura she longed to have but did not possess.
