Although it was tiring after spending a whole day watching the game, the people felt that they were greatly satisfied mentally.
On the way back to the city together, everyone was discussing today’s event!
"The one from Hengshan County ran so fast, he was so far behind the second place!"
“The badminton players in Nanhai County are also pretty good!”
"If you ask me, the cheerleading team dances the best!"
"The ticket I bought today is really worth it, it will last me a long time..."
The events of the sports meeting are different every day, so tickets are sold on a daily basis.
In other words, if you hold a ticket for the first day, you cannot enter the venue for the second day!
The three-day ticket styles are also different!
Normally, as long as people buy it, they buy a three-day ticket!
However, some of them went there for the opening ceremony and the fireworks at night, so they only bought tickets for the first day and not the next two days!
After hearing that there was a cheerleading dance performance at midfield, I felt regretful and hurried to the ticket office to buy tickets for the second and third days!
Sorry, it’s already sold out!
Some people who didn't buy tickets for the first day bought tickets for the second and third days and went to the venue to watch it with gusto!
Those who didn't buy tickets can only beat their chests and beat their feet!
"If I had known that there would be a cheerleading dance performance, how could I only buy a one-day ticket?"
But there is nothing you can do even if your intestines are full of regrets. Now even the scalpers have no votes, and they can only wait until three years later.
The sports ground on the second and third days was also packed, and the enthusiasm of the people was even higher than on the first day!
Even after the game is over, there are very few people who can go there halfway.
I don’t want to miss those few minutes of cheerleading performance!
Therefore, everyone is buying snacks from mobile vendors, but few are buying tea!
Because you have to go to the convenience store after drinking too much, you will miss the wonderful performance!
The fierce competition lasted for two and a half days, and the afternoon of the third day was the award ceremony!
All athletes who have won the top three before can stand on the podium, and Ying Zheng will personally award the gold medal!
This was not mentioned in the previous promotion!
No one expected that the final medal would be awarded by His Majesty himself!
There are countless officials who have never seen Tianyan in their lives, let alone ordinary people!
I feel extremely honored to meet the Emperor, let alone receive the award from His Majesty himself!
After learning that His Majesty would present the award in person, the winning athletes were so excited that they could not stand still!
They have never been so nervous even during a competition!
"His Majesty actually presented the award? This... this...?"
The athletes were so excited that they were speechless.
In addition to the previously determined bonus, the first place also has a gold medal, which is also made of pure gold!
The second place is a silver medal, made of pure silver!
The third place is the bronze medal, made of pure copper!
And the prizes for the top three are all pure gold, not silver tickets!
This thing has a greater visual impact and can arouse people's desire to exercise!
After the exciting awards ceremony, the athletes returned home in glory!
After returning to your hometown, you can also get rewards from the county.
After all, they are representing their respective counties, and winning the top three is bringing honor to the counties!
"It turns out that being an athlete has so many benefits! No! I have to let my incompetent son at home exercise, pick a sport that he is good at, and try to get into the top three!"
"Yes! Sports can strengthen the body. Even if you don't get a ranking in the competition, it's good to be free from illness and disaster!"
"If you really get the ranking, you can still meet His Majesty, which will be enough to brag about for a lifetime!"
"No! I will also start exercising tomorrow...!"
Sure enough, after the photos of the athletes receiving the awards were published in the newspaper, it immediately caused an uproar in Daqin.
People have devoted themselves to various sports.
Not to mention anything else, even exercising and enriching your life are cost-effective!
Suddenly, the brothel, whose business had just picked up, was empty again!
The madams sat at home angrily and scolded their mothers!
Who would have thought that just a sports meeting would directly affect their business!
After the sports meeting, the morning routine returned to normal.
All the political matters that had accumulated before needed to be dealt with, so it lasted for a long time!
In addition to reporting on farming conditions in various places and some emergencies, officials also reported on the recent rise in oil prices in various places!
When the drought in Xianyang was coupled with the locust plague, everyone thought that the price of food would increase. However, they did not expect that food prices would remain stable throughout the locust plague!
When the locust plague ends, the price of oil for people to eat will actually rise!
“I never expected that a locust plague would cause oil prices to rise!”
Ying Zheng felt incredible.
"Back to Your Majesty, the locust plague occurred, and the people fried the caught locusts and ate them, so they consumed a lot of fuel, so traders bought them from other areas to replenish them, causing the fuel prices in other areas to rise as well!"
After investigation, officials reported the matter truthfully.
"What? Tracing the origin, it turned out to be because of the bombing of locusts?"
This reason made Ying Zheng dumbfounded.
"Yes! After investigation, it is indeed the case...!"
The official bowed his hand and said, "But your Majesty, don't worry, the increase is not very big, and it is estimated that it will naturally calm down after a while!"
In this era, everything we eat is animal fat. As animals are slaughtered, the fat will naturally be replenished.
"Well! That's the only way!"
Ying Zheng nodded helplessly.
The imperial court stockpiled a lot of grain, which could stabilize food prices, but it was impossible to stock oil!
Now that oil prices are rising, the court has no good solution!
Besides, fat is not like food, so it doesn’t matter if you eat less.
"You can only make the people feel miserable for a while!"
There is nothing we can do about this.
"Why are you aggrieved? Wouldn't it be nice to make some more?"
Ying Feiyu said leisurely.
"You kid makes it easy. You have to kill animals to get oil. Who can kill so many animals at once? What to do with the endless meat? Even a butcher wouldn't be that stupid!"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him and didn't take his words seriously at all.
You can't just throw away the unsold meat just to get oil, right?
"Who said oil can only be obtained by killing animals? The same goes for using plants!"
This time, Ying Feiyu looked serious.
Historically, the first vegetable oil was produced in the Han Dynasty, and it was not used for food, but for making silk cloth!
It really started to be eaten after the Song Dynasty.
At that time, sesame oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil, camellia oil, etc. appeared!
"Plants? What plants can produce oil?"
At first Ying Zheng thought he was joking.
Now that the boy's face was full of seriousness, he looked at it seriously.
"There are many, but the most economical and practical ones are soybeans!"
"Soybeans? But that high-yielding grain your boy brought, the soybeans that can grow bean sprouts?"
"That's right!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"I remember that before it was cooked, there seemed to be a faint fishy smell!"
Animal oil is heated to melt the fat and refine it.
Ying Zheng didn’t understand how the beans could be boiled to produce oil!
"Soybeans are not boiled to produce oil, but the oil is squeezed out after some processing!"
Ying Feiyu emphasized.
"Oil extraction?"
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, kid. We must bring down the oil price!"
Since this guy said there was a way, Ying Zheng didn't ask any more questions and directly pushed the matter out.
Save worry and effort!
