"It's already January, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon." Tailan put his hands together next to the small stove, chatting with Danica while baking the fire.

Danica shook her head and said, "This is not right away. It's still half a month before the New Year!"

The Druid Sect was originally born and developed from the elves. It was originally an important force of the elves, but I don’t know what happened. Five thousand years ago, the elves had a great split. Since then, the Druid Sect has left the elves’ court and moved out of the moonlight forest. After hundreds of years, it has finally settled here. Although it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the elves’ court, some people from other races who also believe in nature have joined in, but most members of the Druid Sect are still elves, and they live the New Year of the elves.

The elves admire the moon, so their calendar is divided according to the profit and loss of the moon, and is called the lunar calendar or the monthly calendar. Now the human race mainly uses the calendar issued by the Holy See of Light, which is divided by the sun as a cycle. It is a solar calendar, or it can also be called a calendar. According to the calendar, the 8022 year of the Light Calendar has passed and entered the year 8023, but according to the calendar, it is December 5, 5698, and it is still 25 days left to celebrate the New Year.

"It's getting late." Tyran said, "According to tradition, preparations will start a month before the New Year." According to tradition, preparations before the New Year are very complicated and need to start preparations very early.

"Is that true?" Danica responded lightly, and didn't say anything more.

Danica is not very interested in things like celebrating the New Year. So what if it is celebrating the festival? Those who should hate themselves will still hate them. Those who want to kill themselves will not let themselves go because of the New Year. The so-called festival is just an ordinary day set by man. Find a reason for happiness for yourself. On this day, the sun rises as usual, and the stars will still cover the sky, and the natural operation will not change. But what is the difference?

At this time, the water on the small stove had already boiled. Danica took down the kettle, took out a stone pottery teapot, opened a paper bag, took out some tea leaves and put it in, brewed the burnt water. In an instant, the room was filled with a faint fragrance of beans.

"You don't seem to be very happy. Don't you like the New Year?" Seeing Danica's face very plain, Tyran asked curiously. She thought that for why the New Year did not leave a good impression on Danica, making her dislike the New Year.

After soaking for a few minutes, Danica took out two ceramic tea cups and placed them on the low table next to the small stove. Danica picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of tea soup in each of the two cups, and said, "It's not that I don't like it, but I don't feel it. I don't have any feelings about the New Year. Anyway, no matter how much I spend this New Year, I can sit next to the small stove in the house and make a cup of delicious tea. Then the New Year is meaningless to me."

Danica pushed one of the two cups in front of Tyran and the other in front of herself, saying, "Taste it, this kind of tea tastes great."

This pack of tea was given by Ai Xue when she was in Bell City before. Because it was not an important thing, Danica did not put it in the space ring. The pack of tea was kept in the package, and she had just turned it out recently. Ai Xue was considered a big businessman after all. The one who could give her hands was definitely the best tea. Danica drank a little before, and the taste was really good.

Tailan took a sip and said, "The taste is very mellow, it is a good tea." She put the tea cup back on the low table and continued, "We can indeed drink a cup of tea at any time, hide next to the warm stove and chat with friends casually, but ordinary farmers are not that leisurely. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn, whether it is windy or rainy, they need to work hard in the fields every day. The slack season in winter is the only day they can relax a little. So for them, the Chinese New Year is very special, you can eat a lot of things that you can't bear to eat on weekdays and enjoy a rare leisure. This cheerful atmosphere is very special. You should experience it seriously. Believe me, you won't regret it."

Danica drank the tea in a small sip and said with a smile: "I can't say I regret it. Anyway, I have nothing to do during this period. I just worry that I'm already numb and can't feel the joy you said."

Tailan looked confident and said, "I am still very confident about this. As long as your heart is still beating, you will definitely feel that kind of happiness." The atmosphere of the New Year here is very strong. Seeing everyone's heartfelt smile, anyone's mood will get better.

Since Tyran said so, Danica agreed and asked, "Okay, listen to you, what do we need to do if we are going to prepare for the New Year now?"

An excited smile appeared on Tyran's face. It was fun to have more people during the Chinese New Year. In the past, she and Lin Ona were the only ones during the Chinese New Year. No matter how rich the meal was, they always felt a little deserted. Finally, there was a Danica this year. It would be great if she could participate.

Tailan said: "The most important thing about the New Year is to eat it. In the countryside, the best food is meat. We need to buy some pork, radish, cabbage and other vegetables first, we grow them ourselves." As for spices, ordinary farmers can't afford it at all. It's good to be able to eat enough salt. In order to celebrate the New Year happily, Tailan spent a lot of effort to get a lot of spices, which was enough for them to use.

Danica asked, "How much do you need to buy? Just the three of us." Tyran and Lin Ona's teacher went out a few days after they came back. I don't know what the big druid was so busy. Anyway, he wouldn't come back during the Chinese New Year, so there were only the three of them left.

"It depends on how much you want to eat," said Tyran. "If you eat a lot, we can buy a whole pig directly."

"Then just buy a whole pig. If it's not enough, it's going to be troublesome." Danica said generously, "How much does a pig cost?" Taylan and Lin Ona did not raise pigs. That thing took too much time and they were too lazy to spend this effort. If they wanted it now, they could only buy it from the villagers, but Danica had no idea about the prices here.

Tyran stretched out a finger and said, "One gold coin, one gold coin is enough."

"So cheap?" Danica said in surprise. Not to mention the three magic academies with extremely expensive prices, even if they are only available in ordinary cities, they can buy a pig with a gold coin. Unexpectedly, a pig can buy a pig with a gold coin. A pig can be at least 200 kilograms, so it can even produce 100 kilograms of meat. In this way, a kilogram of meat is only one silver coin, which is already very cheap.

"It's rural!" said Taylan, "the prices here are relatively low and cannot be compared with those of big cities."

Danica immediately thought of a question and said, "They will suffer a lot." During the transaction, if the two parties are in different areas, the lower-price parties will always suffer a little, which means that the same gold coins can buy different things.

"It's okay," Taylan explained, "most of the villages are self-sufficient in daily necessities, and do not need to trade too much with the outside world. As for the food grown, the Druids will purchase it, and the price is also very good."

Unified acquisition? Danica's mind started to turn around again. According to her observations and the information she learned from Tyran, because of the guidance of the Druid Sect, and the land is fertile and the water resources are abundant, the yield here can reach more than 200 kilograms per mu, which is already a very high level in this world. For example, the small town of York where Danica was at the beginning, the yield per mu was estimated to be only fifty or sixty kilograms per mu. Of course, that is because the land there is too barren, but overall the yield per mu is already very good if it exceeds 120. Such a high yield per mu means that a large number of grain farmers cannot finish it, and these are all centrally purchased by the Druid Sect. Unexpectedly, the Druid Sect holds so much food, which not only can be exchanged for a large amount of gold coins, but more importantly, it can be exchanged for a lot of political benefits by doing business with the country.

"...So the prices here are nothing less. Danica, are you sure you want to buy a pig? Danica, Danica!" Tyran was saying this when he suddenly found Danica in a daze.

"Ah? Oh, what's wrong?" Danica came to her senses.

Tailan had to say it again: "I mean you are sure to buy a pig? If you are sure, I will help you see which pig is better."

"Well, no problem." Danica said readily, "I don't know this either. Please help me choose it. If you choose it, just buy it." Most of Danica's gold coins are in the magic ring, but there is also a small wallet in the package, with some gold coins and silver coins for pocket money. With these gold coins and silver coins, Danica is finally not penniless, and the pocket money here can make her live a very good life.

"Okay, I have to hurry up and ask. It's the end of the year. Every family needs to buy a lot of meat. If you go late, the better pigs will be picked out." As he said, Tyran stood up and finished the tea in the cup, saying, "The tea is really good, I'll go first."

Tailan is very efficient in his work. In the afternoon, she came over and told Danica that the pig had been selected, but now she has no place to raise it after getting it back, and the three of them don’t know how to kill pigs.

"What should I do?" Danica asked. She was good at killing people, but killing pigs was different. Apart from the fatal knife, shaving hair, removing internal organs, and dividing meat, Danica could not even see these, and she had never seen them.

"There are people in the village who specialize in killing pigs, so you can ask him for help." Tailan has already considered a solution. "It's the end of the year, and there are many pig-killing jobs, and it's not easy to make an appointment. I have agreed with him and asked him to come and kill the pig tomorrow." It's because of her identity as a druid, which is very popular here.

"So quickly?" said Danica, "What do we need to prepare?"

"We don't need to prepare anything for pig killing. The pig killer will prepare everything." Tyran said, "We just need to watch from the side."

"What is Lin Ona busy?" asked Danica. It's already noon now. Danica was basking in the sun in the yard after lunch, but she saw Lin Ona constantly busy.

Tylan said: "Although the meat is delicious, we can't eat meat directly during this New Year. Some vegetables and other things still need to be included. Lin Ona is busy with this." Lin Ona has always been responsible for these things, and Tylan has never taken care of them.

Early the next morning, Lin Ona and Tyran started to work hard, mainly preparing enough hot water to burn pig hair, or cleaning the cut pork, chopping boards, plates and other things.

When it was around eight o'clock, the pig slayer from Qingri Village came over.

ps: The story is written that Danica has traveled to most of the continent. At first, Danica lives in the southern coastal area, which has a special commercial civilization. In Melens, you can see the prosperity and hustle and bustle in the city center, while the slums not far away are miserable and desolate. Later, she went to Saint City, a district under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, where she saw the solemnity of the Holy See and the piety of the believers, and went to the disaster area with Saint Elizabeth to provide disaster relief. Next, she came to the three major magic academies, where there were magic civilizations created by the great magic empire in the past, and she also saw how expensive the prices were. Although it was school life, the students who came to the Magic academies not only for their studies, but also suffered two serious injuries. After completing her studies in the Magic academies, Danica passed through the Dwarf Kingdom Institute

In the northwest mountain range, she came to the prairie. In the prairie, she met the cat shaman Lucia and saw the roughness and boldness on the prairie. In the end, she was plotted by Lucia and almost died. She was rescued by the Druid Sect and is now temporarily living in the Druid Sect's Qingri Village. Danica was injured countless times along the way, and she had experienced the feelings of her dying experiences several times, many people had been plotted by others.
