Chapter 7 Love is an obligation! (8400(2/2)
Su Zhou could hear it roughly clearly, and most people were excited to communicate with the miracle that the clouds suddenly faded and the storm disappeared in an instant, but the content was similar to what was heard in the port. Whether it was boasting or feeling, it was nothing new.
In addition, he could also hear a farmer drinking with his friend at the dining table next to him while complaining.
"The weather in the mainland has been really strange recently. Not to mention anything else, the heavy snow at the beginning of this year is very abnormal!"
"No, has anyone ever seen heavy snowfall in Xiguang City for two consecutive months? This is not Winter Castle, six months a year... In the past winter, there was no snow around Xiguang City!"
Speaking of this, the customer dressed in the farmer looked bitter. He folded his hands together and made a prayer move: "Fortunately, the Lords blessed, today's heavy rain was dispelled by miracles. Otherwise, if there was another flood, it would not be just a matter of frost and no harvest, and the seedlings would take root. When the rain came, even the soil would have to be cleaned. The surrounding area of Xiguang City would have turned into a mud swamp!"
"Not to mention, a few days ago, a flood occurred in Yanliu Fort. The river water changed its route and washed away the wheat fields in more than a dozen villages over the other side, which were decayed for hundreds of miles. The local high priests all went to the central temple players."
His friends, two men who looked like businessmen, were also quite puzzled. One of them shook his head vigorously and sighed: "Hey, not only that, there seems to be drought in the inland area. It has been a long time since there has been no rain. If the Holy Church had not sent many paladins and priests to assist in the rain and reclaim the canals and canals, the crops would have died long ago."
"It's all bad news, just let's not talk about it, just have a meal."
The farmers and merchants were both frowning. After all, they all depended on food and trade to live. The weather this year was obviously a little wrong, which made them worried about whether they would suffer from food disasters.
But obviously, worrying is useless. After the store’s specialty seafood fish soup is served, they no longer talk about any questions about this.
"Is the weather unbalanced..."
Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but feel a little concerned.
This reminded him of the strange storm that had occurred before. If snow disasters, floods and droughts are all abnormal, then storms and typhoons should be considered one of them, right?
Moreover, if Elias, the Lord of Fire, was still normal, then he would not sit idly by and watch the country that believed in his own faith be affected by disaster.
"When I came to this world, there was actually no hidden breath. Ordinary people thought it was just a miracle, and they just didn't understand it. But if there were strong people from the overlord level, especially those two old acquaintances of mine, they should be able to easily recognize me."
Thinking about this, a guess came to Su Zhou's heart: "Can you know, is there something wrong with Elias and the others?"
"Ah, Mr. Aimun, are you back? Is this exploration OK?"
At this time, the owner of Shark Tornado, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean above his head, noticed the gray-haired priest sitting beside him. He walked over enthusiastically, and then noticed Su Zhou who had let go of a little breath, and said strangely: "Is this your friend? A strange face. Is this your first time in Xiguang City?"
"Yes, it's a good city, the atmosphere is very harmonious, I like it very much."
Su Zhou smiled and answered the other party's question. Under the influence of soul power, the owner's eyes were just an ordinary person with an ordinary appearance, and there was nothing surprising.
"Hahaha, well said! Xiguang City is the most livable and harmonious city on the entire continent except the Holy Fire City!"
But who knew that even so, when the shop owner heard Su Zhou praise his hometown, he suddenly became excited and laughed, touched his Mediterranean forehead, and then said heroically: "Since you are a foreigner, you have the first time to come to our Xiguang City store, so I'll invite you to have a pot of our local specialty fish soup!"
"Prince Emmon, I won't invite your share, I'm still the same, right?"
"It's okay, yes, it's still the same."
He greeted the shop owner with a smile. At this time, the gray-haired priest couldn't help looking at Su Zhou, with a hint of surprise in his heart: "Sure enough, the shop owner can't see the owner's appearance clearly... No? Lord, what does the owner look like..."
At this moment, Ai Meng was shocked to find that it was not only the owner of the shop, but even he could not see clearly, and even recalled Su Zhou's true appearance!
At most, he could only remember his long black hair and his purple dragon eyes... Apart from that, there was only the majestic momentum of the Lord of Judgment... Apart from that, he could not remember anything.
For Su Zhou, it is just a simple cognitive confusion. After all, the process of observing information by the human eye and then feeding it back to the brain has enough time to influence it.
He was not unwilling to reveal his true face, mainly because Su Zhou himself didn't know whether the lord of judge in this world had a human form. If so, it would be better not to show too many differences.
Soon, the fish soup came up. The owner uncovered the lid of the big pot located at the entrance of the store, scooped out a small pot of stewed fish soup and returned to the kitchen, prepared the seasonings, sprinkled with newly ground spices and rock salt, and brought it to Suzhou and Ai Meng's table at the entrance of the store.
The pot is an ordinary black casserole. Although it is not very fine, it is washed very clean. In the milky white fish soup, there are pieces of shrimp meat, chopped pepper and seaweed, and black soup. Not to mention the aroma, it is hard to control yourself by looking at it.
"Well... it tastes very good."
Su Zhou was not polite either. He didn't wait for Ai Meng to explain the origin and allusions of the soup to him. He put it in a bowl, scooped a spoonful and tasted it, and then nodded in satisfaction. Do you have to know the allusions when eating? It's not too late to listen while eating.
As for the extraordinary people around you, how to appreciate the food of ordinary people... that's not simple? Isn't it just a little higher than that of ordinary people? You can use the taste level of food when you eat, and you can't even do this. What kind of food lovers are you?
"My Lord, just like you..."
Seeing that Su Zhou also likes human food, for some reason, the tense string that had been hanging in Ai Meng's heart slowly relaxed.
It is not that it is a good thing for the Lord to be so approachable, but that Aimun understood that since the Lord loves human food, it means that He loves humanity too... The Lord is indeed God, and the Lord of Judgment is even more punished God who shoulders the duties of ruling, judgment, and punishment.
But even God punishes God, he loves humanity.
Perhaps, it seems a bit, even very arbitrary to draw conclusions based on this point alone, but it is precisely because of this that the stone in Aimon's heart fell.
But at the same time, a new doubt arose.
With his thoughtless heart, Su Zhou felt the doubts in Ai Meng's heart. He didn't care about this because Su Zhou didn't want to play a god at all. He just naturally acted with the trend. The one who could act like it was like it, and if it didn't act like it, then he wouldn't pretend, he confessed.
"…The development of the people of Fire is indeed a bit beyond my expectations."
Soon, Su Zhou solved the problem of this pot of stewed fish soup, and Ai Meng was eating the shrimp fried rice he usually ate, and the priest was extremely serious in eating without saying a word. He was obviously the kind of person who cherished food very much.
So, during this period, Su Zhou turned his head and glanced across the street, a total of thirteen well-known restaurants and hotels.
Although, in Aimon's introduction, all the shops in this street's signature dishes are "stewed fish soup", a traditional old dish that originated from the earliest fishermen's delicacies.
But two hundred years of development have passed, and the fish soup styles in every store here are very different.
Some shops have some random stewed fish soup, while others have turned into fish soup.
Some shops have steamed fish fillets, while some shops have seafood porridge.
The restaurant where Su Zhou is located mainly uses shrimp meat, and for fish, it mainly uses fish bones to make soup to improve freshness.
It looks ordinary?
But in fact, when a civilized diet begins to gradually refine and differentiate, and a dish evolves into many different dishes, it proves that the development of a civilization has entered its peak, and its people are no longer limited to "eating full", but begin to care about "eating well", "eating strangely" and "fresh".
"In other words, if the per capita moral standard of the people of Fire is really as high as I have seen, then what limits them may be technology."
Sitting in her seat, Su Zhou looked around at the various lifestyles of the entire catering street, including farmers, fishermen, merchants, herders; priests, officials, pharmacists and alchemists; butchers with bloody smell on their bodies are here, full of ink. It is probably a scholar and lady here, both genders and occupations are equal, without special areas, or even private rooms.
Although my pot of fish soup was a treat by an old shop owner, since even ordinary people are willing to come over and do not show any distress, and the shop owner is so easy to treat, it means that the store here is not high.
"This guy Elias... is doing really well! Awesome! It is really incredible to cultivate a race that survives the doomsday, is extremely decadent, and even wants to fend for itself to this point!"
Taking a deep breath, Su Zhou really smiled this time: "It's worthy of being a world where I have a portion. This seafood soup tastes really good, fresh, fragrant, smooth and tender, without any fishy smell, only pure delicacy!"
Even in his heart, he was a little ashamed.
Although he was regarded as the God of Judgment in the world of reincarnation, in fact, he had not done anything for the people of fire... The matter of killing the God of Water is not counted. Su Zhou was for his own happiness and had nothing to do with the people of fire: "If I meet Elias later, I must praise his achievements!"
However, at this moment, a small episode appeared in the store.
A child of a guest, about seven or eight years old, was holding the fish soup in his hand and stumbled around the crowd, as if he wanted to go outside to drink.
Naturally, the child has any stable abilities? After only a few steps, he staggered, his hands shook, and the soup in the bowl splashed out and fell on the pants of a man who looked like a businessman.
"Hey, you little dear!"
The merchant felt a wet and burning feeling on his legs, and his face changed and became ferocious. He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab the little boy's collar: "Do you know how much this pair of pants cost?!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, uncle, I'm very sorry!"
But it seemed to be fear, and some instinct, that the little boy who accidentally beat the soup off suddenly squatted down and admitted his mistake very loudly and sincerely: "I shouldn't have walked around with the soup, I will definitely not make any more next time!"
Suddenly, the merchant's expression and movements froze for a moment.
The next second, his expression softened, and he smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay, you can correct your mistakes. This is the virtue taught by the Lord. I forgive you, but don't commit it again next time."
The merchant stretched out his hand and gently touched the child's head: "Otherwise, the Lord of Judgment will go to you."
At this time, the children's parents also appeared. They apologized to the merchant in great fear, then took out money to compensate the merchant for their losses. The merchant waved his hand and said that they didn't mind, but the parents forced a sum of money to the merchant, and then they didn't have time to eat, so they left the hotel.
This scene made Su Zhou amazed.
"Aimun, this world is indeed very friendly."
When leaving the restaurant called Shark Tornado with the gray-haired priest, Su Zhou said seriously to the middle-aged man beside him: "This matter is even beyond my expectations, and it surprised me very much. I thought that the child would die and refuse to admit his mistakes, and his parents would also cover up, and even threatened that the child was ignorant of his ability to escape and lose his responsibility."
"But in fact, this kind of thing did not happen, both the children and the parents, made the right choice at the first time."
"Although the businessman felt a momentary anger, he quickly calmed down, and the child also quickly apologized at the first time... In this way, even children, businessmen, and parents have such a moral world, which is really better than I thought."
"Ah, no, my lord, we are far from reaching the point of perfection! There is nothing to praise for this."
Faced with Su Zhou's high-level praise, Ai Meng was a little nervous and embarrassed. He bowed slightly and said humbly: "Everything is the Lord's teachings that should be admitted and corrected. This is the only way to recover the mistake!"
"And, the Lord of Fire says, "You should love everyone, because everyone is related to you." Since the other party apologizes and promises never to commit it again, isn't forgiveness a kind of tolerance and love?"
"Just like the cycle of elements and the cycle of heaven and earth, everyone is extremely important to others. Only when everyone loves everyone can everyone love everyone. When everyone loves everyone, the kingdom of heaven on the earth will be complete!"
"Love is an obligation!"
Repeating the holy words in the Doctrine so devoutly, Aimeng closed his eyes and said seriously: "But there are still many distances from perfection in this world, so you need your Lord to punish and punish those evildoers who do not want to love others!"
"This is true whether it is someone who is unwilling to apologize or someone who is unwilling to forgive."
