The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 29: Celebration banquet

In the southeast corner of Wenlan Island, in the West Valley of the Muskniu River, there is a hundreds of feet high Razor Mountain, and the foot of the southeast mountain is Hagerburg. A huge city in Pinggu in front of Hagerburg has begun to take shape. .

Groot City, a military city ordered by Hadar since last winter. It is planned to cover more than ten acres. In addition to Hadar Fort in the center, there are also cobweb-shaped streets radiating outward. The outermost streets of the streets are next to each other. In the East Port at the Mouth Niu River mouth, if you don’t make great efforts to transform it, you can’t stop the big ships, and you can’t stop more than ten big ships.

  In Hadar's final plan, the city of Harut will be home to all Vinland colonists and slaves after it is built. Even Razor Hill will be included in the city as a garden, which will eventually be enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

   However, even the white slaves and savage slaves are working hard every day, the city of Herut has only been completed less than one-thousandth.

The Hadar Fort in the center of the city can be completed in mid-June. There are more than a dozen houses around the castle, and a stone pier fence wall that is as high as one person has been pulled up outside the house. It is a simple city wall that cannot be blocked. A regular army attacked, but it was enough to resist wild beasts and primitive savages.

   On this day at the end of June, the city of Groot suddenly became lively.

   Not only the Icelanders and the white slave leaders as the management are beaming, even the white slaves and the savage slaves have also been told that the city lord Hadar will reward all the slaves with meat tonight, and it is an unlimited reward.

After inquiring about the captains of the various production teams, the cheering white slaves learned that it was Master Hagrid and Master Ulav, Master Olaf, and Captain Hudik. They returned from Europa with endless goods and powerful weapons, so Hadar The city lord was happy and ordered a feast in Hadarborg tonight, inviting all Icelanders, white slave militias, white slave production team captains and other distinguished figures to participate in the feast.

   Ordinary white slaves and savages slaves can also get enough rich food to feel joy and happiness.

   It didn't take long for hundreds of people to walk down on the six large ships docked at the mouth of the Musk Ox. Hadar and Katlin had long been waiting on the shore with Yotte, Kadir, Hoskud, Heine and others.

   "Dad!"

  Ulav and Olaf hug their father and then kiss their mother's face. Hadar is still fine, but Katrin is already laughing and crying, constantly kissing the two sons, and telling lovesickness.

   Hagrid and Hudik also hugged and talked with Hadar and others, and then ordered the sailors to move some of the linen, woolen, and whiskey they had prepared to Hadar, Kadir, Hoskurd, Heine, Yotte and others as gifts.

The hundreds of white slaves lined up on the coast have different looks, most of them are looking curiously and excitedly at the unique scenery on Vinland Island, and at the same time secretly worrying about the temperament of Vinland’s master Hadar and his own. future.

Hadar looked around and found that most of these white slaves were pale. Knowing that they had been on the boat for a long time, many people would feel a little uncomfortable, so he asked Yotte and Heine to lead the 390 white slaves. Back to the city of Groot, the newly built houses were first placed for them to live, and when they regained their strength tomorrow, they would be loaned wood and stone materials to allow them to build new houses on the outskirts of the center of Groot.

   After the white slave left, Hadar took Olaf and others on horseback back to Hadar Fort.

Some of the cargo and armaments on the ship were brought back to the Hegberg Cave by Hoskuld with two Icelandic production teams. The core items of Vinland were handed over to others. Hadar was not relieved and could only be made by the Icelanders himself. With the removal of weapons and plates, there are ordinary linen and daily necessities. These Hadar will wait until the summer has passed before giving them as rewards to Icelanders to make clothes and improve their lives.

   After a while back home, Tom, Halek, Solrak, Yiluki, Harry, Val, Ericsson and others rushed to hear the news.

A group of good friends met and hugged, and then Olaf gave them some exquisite and unique brooches as gifts. Several teenagers were very happy, and then began to pester Olaf with Half and Gherny to tell a story about going to sea. .

   "Olav! Have you seen a Siren who can sing at sea? Does it look good?"

   "Brother, have you also seen Uncle Hagrid's elephant friend?"

  ...

   The babbled words and wild imagination made Olaf laugh dumbly, and then watching everyone's longing eyes can only play to their strengths, he made up the story casually.

   "Of course I've seen it all! I was also chased and killed by a huge Indian tiger on board, and then I fought with it, first..."

Olaf opened his mouth to make the boss fool, and he described his two-month Europa party as a fusion of juvenile fantasy drifting and Robinson Crusoe, and only surprised all the children. Face worship is only to stop.

In a blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, and then in the lobby on the first floor of Hadarborg, candles made of lanolin and whale oil were lit. This time hundreds of candles were lit, and the reception hall with a radius of more than 50 steps was illuminated as if During the day, the air was still filled with a faint smell of oily burnt aroma.

   There are many long wooden tables in the hall. They are all tables made of oak and pine wood by the white slaves. There are also many wooden stools in front of each table.

As the sky got darker and darker, cleanly dressed men and women and children walked into the hall. These people were all Icelanders. There were more than one hundred villagers from the original Herut village, and eight others were Kadir, The three families of Hoskard, Heine, and Karm.

   After all the Icelanders were seated on the table in the front row, the sixteen white slave production team captains also came in with their families and sat at the back table.

The production team is a basic management mechanism set up by Hadar and others in order to facilitate the management of Icelanders and slaves. A production team consists of 5 households with more than 10 people, and four teams are a large production team. There are about 20 households, and the population is about 50 people. Above, the Icelanders have set up two production teams, with Yöt and Hoskud as the captains of the two production teams, and there are eight teams under them.

   More than two hundred white slaves have set up four production teams with 16 teams under their jurisdiction.

The establishment of the production team strengthened Hadar’s management and leadership of the Icelanders and white slaves, and at the same time gave a certain degree of discipline and legitimacy to the activities of production and life. Every member of the production team must obey the team leader, and the team leader must obey the team leader. Team leader, the work efficiency has also improved a bit under the management.

   Hadar originally wanted to set up several savage slave production teams, but considering that savage slaves should not be organized to avoid rebellion in the future, he dispelled this idea.

   At this dinner, all the white slave captains were invited, so the sixteen captains (four of them were part-time captains) came with their families with joy.

   When the guests arrived, Hadar, wearing a brown woolen tutu jacket and a striped thin jacket, walked down from the second floor with Catlin in a burgundy woolen dress.

   The couple’s dress is a luxurious dress that Ulav bought from Amsterdam. Now the status of the Hadar family is different today. From now on, it will be distinguished from ordinary people in terms of dressing and being a real nobleman.

   Ulav and Olaf, Half, wearing striped white-bottomed trousers and robes, and Gailny wearing pink lady's tutu also followed.

The people in the hall stood up and applauded under the leadership of Hagrid, Hudik, and Yotte. Then Hadar looked around with a smile for a week. UU read www.uukanshu.com with a smile, and finally said, "Thank you for coming. We Helu With the joint efforts of everyone, the city is becoming rich and prosperous every day, and it will definitely be a great city in the future! This time my brother Hagrid, good friend Hudik and two sons Ulav and Olaf will go to Europe for business together. In exchange for the Venland specialties we collected, they are all great heroes of our city of Groot! Tonight, please drink and eat together, and congratulate our heroes!"

   "Celebrate!"

   Everyone cheered loudly in excitement, and then Hadar gave an order, and the white slave who was waiting brought out the tempting delicacies of reindeer, cod, hare, etc. that were roasted in the back kitchen, exuding a mixture of ingredients and spices.

Dozens of large and small wooden racks are skewered with golden-yellow barbecues. Several white slave chefs quickly cut the barbecues with knives, and put them on the tables of Hadar and other nobles with exquisite porcelain plates. To the other table top.

While the white slave chef sliced ​​the meat, several white slave women came out with more than a dozen large earthen jars. When the lid was opened, it was wrapped in fragrant white smoke mist. There was stewed lamb with black pepper and fan. The rosemary is cooked together and has a unique fragrance.

   After half an hour, each table was filled with various delicacies, and the plates in front of each guest were also filled with various meats.

   Hadar ordered a barrel of whiskey on each table. This barley has a higher alcohol content than beer and wine. Icelanders have enjoyed drinking it for the past two decades.

   Picking up a wooden cup filled with a glass of whiskey, Hadar smiled and said: "Friends of Herut City! People! For our heroes! Cheers!"

   "For the hero!"

   "For the hero!"

   "Cheers!"
