- Time flies so fast, and it¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve in a blink of an eye.
The city of Manhattan is very lively on this day. Driven by Chinese genetic people, citizens of both European and Indian origins are all excitedly participating in this warm holiday atmosphere.
Indian and European citizens also followed the example of Chinese citizens and began to visit relatives and friends everywhere. They also prepared a lot of red envelopes and put some money in them as lucky money.
The streets are decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the sound of firecrackers is endless.
In this day and age, there are no laws prohibiting the setting off of firecrackers.
However, Zhao Hongyu still strictly ordered the Asans to pay attention to fire prevention. After all, there are too many forests near Manhattan.
And most of the buildings in Manhattan are wooden houses.
It would be bad if someone accidentally caused a fire.
The whole city had a ten-day holiday, and people took advantage of this holiday to take to the streets.
Because this year, everyone¡¯s wallets are full, so they have become lavish in consumption.
This makes the merchants happy from ear to ear.
The Chinese bosses made a lot of money during the Chinese New Year, and even the European businessmen also made a lot of money.
During the New Year period, even the black slaves in the empire had a much better life.
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law, Black Bear, even fed his black slaves pork-filled dumplings every day for the first time, so that they couldn¡¯t believe that this was true.
In fact, working under Black Bear, as long as you are willing to work and not lazy, life is actually pretty good.
Although he is a slave, he can still be satisfied with three meals a day and one meat meal every three days.
"Compared to those European prisoner workers, the life of these black slaves was simply paradise.
Of course, their status is low, and there is nothing they can do about it.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Actually, the black butler next to Black Bear was quite critical of his master being so kind to the black slaves.
In his opinion. It is completely unnecessary to treat these fellow black slaves so well.
Because these guys deserve harsh treatment and torture in order to be honest.
¡°And I should also save some money.
Although this butler is also black, he is absolutely ruthless in his treatment of his compatriots.
Of course, everything he did was to protect the interests of his master, Black Bear, so it can be seen that this guy's loyalty is beyond words.
Black Bear didn¡¯t take it seriously to the butler¡¯s complaints.
However, Black Bear still recognized this loyal butler and rewarded him generously.
A beautiful black slave girl also bought a young white woman from Ontario. Given to this loyal housekeeper as a wife.
This made the black bear butler so moved that he burst into tears.
He never imagined that one day he would be able to ride a white woman.
You know, on the African continent, those white people are very powerful.
But here in the empire, the status of white people is very low.
It further proves the power of the empire.
Regarding the black bear¡¯s reward, the black butler secretly decided in his heart that he must be loyal to his master in this life and protect his master¡¯s interests to the death.
That¡¯s all. Only then can he be worthy of the reward given to him by his master.
In fact, although he is the butler of Black Bear, his identity is still a slave.
The black bear has not changed his identity.
The black bear is not stupid either. He knows that he has something he can do. But there are some things you can't do.
However, Black Bear also promised the black butler that as long as he works well for him, he can completely rely on his performance in the future. Seek to free the butler from his status as a slave and at the same time give him a citizen status within the empire.
It is precisely because of this that the butler is loyal to the black bear.
It¡¯s not that there are no black people in the empire.
The old Somali black slaves and other black slaves are envious of this.
Those Somali gangsters. For these fellow African slaves who were trafficked to the empire, that was simply the goal they fought for.
"It's a pity that those Somali gangsters simply ignored their compatriots and looked at them with contempt.
Although occasionally there are some black slaves, after seeing those SomalisWhen Gene Man is a gangster, he wants condoms or something. But without exception, they all came back disappointed, because those Somali gangsters ignored them at all.
The reason is that these black slaves come from West Africa, which belongs to the tribal enemies of the old Somali blacks.
Although the Somali black men came from the virtual world, they had no good impressions of the tribal blood feuding ¡®ancestors¡¯ in this world at that time.
In Africa, even modern times are full of tribal conflicts, so it is not surprising that these Somali genetic men have such a reaction.
Zhao Hongyu will not care about this at all.
For him, this is actually a good thing.
Because he can continue to buy black slaves without worrying about the feelings of Somalis.
Fortunately, there are not many Somalis here in Manhattan, and most of the old black people are in Quebec.
The Gurkhas also fought with the black men in Quebec.
However, compared to the Somali gangsters, the Gurkhas made Zhao Hongyu very satisfied.
Because as long as he pays those genetic people a salary every month, the Gurkhas will continue to work for him without any conditions.
?Typically, only money is recognized.
On New Year¡¯s Eve, Zhao Hongyu invited his father-in-law and his wife to his castle, as well as the widows from the Samuel family.
Wang Shan, Song Hu, Zhang Tie, Lamar, the leader of the Somali Laohei, and Sharma, the leader of the Gurkhas, all rushed back from Quebec to attend the New Year's Eve dinner hosted by Zhao Hongyu.
They have all been close friends with Zhao Hongyu for a long time, so it is normal to meet and entertain them during the Chinese New Year.
As for the other five genetic people who have the authority of the township chief, Zhao Hongyu did not notify them because they were too far away from Manhattan and the travel was not very convenient.
However, Zhao Hongyu still sent some envoys to the cities where they developed to express his greetings and New Year greetings.
It¡¯s Chinese New Year!
These are the three winters Zhao Hongyu has lived since he came to this era. It¡¯s also Zhengzheng¡¯s second year.
When I first came to this era, I was still alone, and even had to face many dangers.
But two years later, he now has a population of three million and tens of thousands of elite warriors under his command, covering the entire territory of North America.
This is simply a dream-like process.
On the dining table, there is a high-quality Red Star Erguotou. Now Erguotou has become a popular wine in the Song Empire.
Even some Europeans who were not used to drinking it at first have now accepted it.
Rum, whiskey and gin are sold in the Empire. But the sales were not very good.
This thing is very powerful, but anyone who drinks it a few times will like it.
Those European drunkards even love this kind of wine to death.
Platefuls of shiny green vegetables, as well as cold dishes mixed with fresh fungus and cucumber were served.
At the same time, Manhattan winter dishes such as pork, sauerkraut and vermicelli stew, and potato and beef stew were also served in large pots on the table.
Three roasted golden-yellow suckling pigs, fish caught from the sea, and crispy and fragrant reindeer meat are all very generous This New Year's Eve dinner is actually quite good.
After all, the agricultural technology currently available to Zhao Hongyu and the others is not very good. Being able to eat these foods in the winter of the seventeenth century was already very good.
You know, in this era, even the European royal families and even the protagonists of the church. The food may not be so rich and varied.
Especially in winter, don¡¯t even think about eating cold dishes such as fresh cucumbers and fungus, as well as a variety of fresh vegetables.
The genetic people did not show too much surprise to these.
Black Bear, his wife and Emma are not surprised by this. In their opinion, their son-in-law is very powerful, and it is understandable no matter what he does.
By the way, the black bear and his wife. Secretly, he is also a believer in the development of the "Church of the Abyss", and he is also a fanatical believer.
It is precisely because of being brainwashed by the preachers of the Abyss Cult and experiencing those ¡®artifacts¡¯ that Black Bear thinks that Zhao Hongyu is omnipotent.
What¡¯s so great about producing some fresh vegetables in winter? My son-in-law and the ¡®God of Agriculture¡¯ have a superior-subordinate relationship, so there¡¯s nothing to make a fuss about.You must know that within the Abyss Cult, there has been a rumor that Zhao Hongyu was an ancient god several epochs ago, but his memory disappeared because he had been sleeping for too long.
But he is indeed a living god, there is no doubt about this.
Those ¡®artifacts¡¯ that can communicate through the air, as well as those that can watch the ¡®God Realm War¡¯ and other events, those cannot belong to this world.
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s old father-in-law became a fanatical believer only after watching the revised trailer of Clash of the Gods.
I have to say that these people from the Abyss Cult are despicable.
First of all, Wang Shan, the 'attendant god' in the religion, used his authority to find Chen Zhenbang and then used it to find an IT company and asked them to cancel the subtitles of the trailer for War of the Gods and then add the subtitles he had written. Hua Xia's lines were added, and Zhao Hongyu's appearance was added to the protagonist's head.
In this way, it becomes a step-by-step recording of the scenes of the war between the gods for several eras, that is, "countless and countless years ago".
The effect of this is very good, but all the Indians and Europeans who have seen this are very shocked.
At the same time, it becomes extremely easy to fanatically believe in the Abyss Religion.
And it is easy to accept the words of the Abyss Cult and the words that slander the European Church.
After all, one just talks about how many miracles God has, but no one has seen it with his own eyes.
One is to be able to show everyone the scene of the battle between gods, as it is, as well as some shocking artifacts.
Therefore, it is obvious who to believe and who not to believe.
Black Bear looked at his son-in-law, who was smiling and talking to his men. He sat there and laughed silly.
"My son-in-law is still a god, wouldn't he be able to go to the god realm in the future?"
Because he thought of what the preachers said After the Lord God recovers his memory, those who serve him will become God's warriors, possess low-level divinity, and return to the God Realm with the Lord God - Didn't finish reading?
