At midnight on February 2019, 2, inside Chaldea.
After completing a day of research, Da Vinci picked up the calendar on the table and saw that the date was circled with a red pen. He couldn't help turning his head to look at the master who was already sleeping on the table.
Da Vinci: Was it marked by the master?Is there any special purpose?Birthday?
Matthew, who was still asleep, took the glasses on the side and put them on, sat up and looked at Da Vinci.
Matthew: Sorry, Miss Da Vinci, senior's birthday is xx, xx.Although I saw the senior marked this date a long time ago, I still haven't figured out the purpose.
Holding a pipe, Holmes stepped out of the darkness, and put a pair of eagle-like eyes on the calendar in Da Vinci's hand.
Holmes: I seem to smell a puzzle, do you need help?
Matthew and Da Vinci nodded, and raised their index fingers to their lips to lower their voices. At this time, a sound-proof barrier was placed on the Master's body, and Merlin followed closely.
Merlin: Since you're afraid of waking up the master, wouldn't it be okay to do this?Alright, I see you guys seem to be discussing interesting things, so here we go.
Holmes: No one in Chaldea has February 2th as their birthday, right?Also, I don't remember any scheduled activities today, so...
Before Holmes could finish his conjecture, another voice sounded in the Master's room. It was the elderly Li Shuwen in Chinese tunic suit who came.
Li Shuwen: It's a holiday. Today is the beginning of the Spring Festival.
Da Vinci: That's right, today seems to be New Year's Eve. From the perspective of the country where the Master is located, it is a great holiday.
Holmes: Really?Although I don't know much about it, I do hear that this is a lively and festive festival, comparable to Western Christmas.
Matthew: Is it a holiday in the country of your predecessors?I've seen the same markings on calendars before, but didn't expect this to be the case.
Merlin: It seems that the Master has been enduring the loneliness of wandering in a foreign country. Although this proposal seems a bit late, why don't we mobilize everyone to celebrate the Spring Festival together?
The people present pondered for a moment, then nodded in response to Merlin's suggestion, just as the followers also needed a grand banquet to relax.
Da Vinci: Then Mr. Li, please tell us about the customs of the Chinese New Year first, so that we can give the Master a big surprise!
Nightingale's Dust Cleaning
In the morning, I stretched my waist while walking in the corridors of Chaldea.
Me: It’s another new day. I was so busy last night that I finally fell asleep on the table. I’d better go to Grandpa Li for a massage later on.
Passing by the rooms of the servants of special ranks, I heard a loud noise, so I couldn't help but stop and looked over curiously.
In the room, Nightingale, with his hands on his waist, was eloquently preaching to a table, and I moved my gaze down a little before I noticed the cave king who was hiding under the table.
Nightingale: King of the Caves, today I will take off the clothes you have worn for an unknown amount of time and wash them. You had better come out and take them off yourself, otherwise
The always handsome cave king was completely overwhelmed by Nightingale's asura-like aura, and he hid under the table and cast a helpless look at me for help.
Cave King: Help me.
Although I understood the meaning of the cave king, after seeing Nightingale's back like a devil in red, I gave the cave king a helpless wry smile.
Me: Take care of yourself.
Nightingale: Even so, why don’t you come out?Then there is no choice but to thoroughly disinfect this room!I will eradicate all poison, all harm—
Listening to Nightingale's soaring voice from a distance, I couldn't help shivering twice, recalling the memory of being almost amputated and the humiliation of being tied up on a hospital bed to recuperate.
After walking along the corridor for a while, suddenly the wolf king Rob and Tarasque rushed out from the front corner, and they were chasing Martha and the headless horseman Hesse.
Martha: Hello!Tarasque, stop for my old lady! !
Hesse: No!Well!Well!
Maerda: The wolf dog over there, Hessen tells you to stop quickly!
Looking at the two groups of people running past in front of me, I saw the brushes and cleaners in the hands of Hesse and Martha.
Me: Is this going to bathe Rob and Tarasque?You're right, the animals in Chaldea haven't done a good mass cleaning in a while.
When passing by the area where the killer servants lived, I met Miss Nightingale again, holding a familiar gray-blue dress in her hand.
At this time, she was standing in front of a room, knocking on the door, and beside her stood Karna holding a spear.
Nightingale: Princess Xingbu, you are inside! ?Open the door quickly, or I'll call the Chaldean demolition team over here.
In the room, Xing Buji, who was huddled in the corner, saw the door being knocked bang, holding her head and crying.
Xingbuji: No punishment!Absolutely no punishment!Don't think that this princess doesn't know what you evil ghost is here for. I will never leave the room! !
As soon as he finished speaking, Nightingale, who was in a mad state, kicked the door out, walked into the house, grabbed Xingbuji by her back collar, and forced her out.
Nightingale: Karna, I’ll leave the disinfection of the room to you. We have Blackbeard’s room to go to later, so go over there once you’re done with it.
Karna's palms were already ignited with the flames of the sun, and his face always maintained a calm expression.
Karna: Understood, I'll take care of it all.
Me: Is today the day of cleaning in Chaldea?The cleanliness and attitude, well, but Miss Nightingale is really the best person to take care of this kind of thing.
Kong Ming still works overtime today
Going forward, after leaving the living area of the servants of the killing rank, I came to the place where the servants of the spear rank lived.
Li Shuwen, a middle-aged man in a Tang suit, spread rice paper on the table, then turned around and went back to his room to get the Four Treasures of the Study, while Qin Liangyu, who was wearing a white tights, began to grind ink.
Beside the table, Nursery Rhyme, Jack, and Youzhen, the children's group in Chaldea, surrounded the surroundings, standing on their tiptoes and looking curiously at the table.
Youzhen: Sister Qin Liangyu, what are you doing?Are you preparing to practice calligraphy?
Jack: Huh?Are you preparing something for study?It's a little boring.
While grinding the thick, dark ink, Qin Liangyu turned his head to look at the small ones, with a cheerful smile on his face.
Qin Liangyu: I'm just doing some preparation work for others. Isn't the person who actually writes the words here?
Looking in the direction indicated by Qin Liangyu, he saw Mr. Kong Ming in a black suit walking slowly from the end of the corridor with a lighted cigarette in his mouth.
Kong Ming: Really, I finally got some rest today, but I was asked by you to write blessing characters and couplets.
Li Shuwen: There is no way. Qin Liangyu and I are both warriors, and our attainments in calligraphy are definitely not comparable to yours.Or, do you want to count on Xiang Yu or Lu Bu to write the novel?
Kong Ming fell silent when he heard the words, put out the cigarette in his hand, raised his hand and picked up the brush on the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and danced on the rice paper.
Me: Fu characters and couplets?Isn't this something that is only used during the Spring Festival in my hometown?
At this time, the servants gathered around the table also noticed my presence and waved to me.
Jack: Good morning, Mom!We had a good breakfast today.
Nursery Rhyme: Good morning, Master.Do you have time to come to the tea party this afternoon?Nursery Rhyme has prepared black tea and cake!
I walked over and touched the heads of several little guys. Tongyao and Jack were both well-behaved. Only Youzhen dodged a little angrily, with a French look of disgust on her little face.
Me: How many people are preparing blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets?Because there are very few Chinese in Chaldea, it is generally not possible to hold grand special events to celebrate.
Li Shuwen and Qin Liangyu looked over after hearing the words, while Kong Ming was still writing vigorously, as if all the blessings and couplets in the entire Chaldea needed to be written by him alone.
Qin Liangyu: Don't my lord know?Although the celebration of the Spring Festival this time cannot be as grand as the Nero Festival and Christmas, it is also celebrated by everyone in Chaldea.
I froze for a moment in surprise, and then recalled the cleaning I saw on the road just now, and the sound of Blackbeard's miserable howling was coming from the residential area of the cavalry servants.
Me: Is that so?Matthew didn't tell me at all, dust removal, writing blessings, posting couplets, don't you even prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner and New Year's Eve party?
Kong Ming: That’s right, karoshi in the whole Chaldea has basically been mobilized. It is said that it was that old pervert Merlin who proposed this idea.
While we were talking, Qin Liangyu had already picked up the blessing characters and couplets written by Kong Ming and pasted them on the door of the room with paste.
The three little ones also surrounded them, and Youzhen bouncingly pointed to the word "Fu" on the door.
Youzhen: Sister Qin Liangyu, your blessing is upside down
Chaldea New Year's Eve Party Program List
After hearing Youzhen's stern correction, everyone present laughed, only a few little ones tilted their heads ignorantly, not understanding why we were so happy.
Me: Although Hei Zhen is already teaching you how to read and write, you also have a better understanding of Christmas customs. Chinese New Year also has many unique customs.
While I was talking, I squatted down and tried to reach out to touch Youzhen's little head, but it still failed, obviously I was allowed to be hugged in my arms as a pillow, but touching the head was not allowed.
Youzhen: The word "Fu" is indeed posted, right?Mr. Reindeer, I was right!
Li Shuwen: Yes, yes, little Joan of Arc is indeed right.But during the Spring Festival, we Chinese sometimes have the habit of deliberately pasting the word "Fu" upside down.
Kong Ming: 'Backward blessing' means 'luck has arrived'. Although it was only started in the Qing Dynasty, it is quite interesting to do.
Qin Liangyu: Are you interested in sending blessings and posting couplets with your sister?When the person who is paid New Year's greetings is happy, he will probably give candy or lucky money.
After listening to the explanation, the three little ones were aroused, looked at each other and agreed to Qin Liangyu's request, while I went directly to the control room, wanting to ask what was going on.
In the control room, Edison and Holmes were studying a list, and they greeted me with smiles when they saw me.
Me: What are you studying?Although both are geniuses, it's rare to see the two of you together.
Holmes: This is the program list for the New Year's Eve party in Chaldea. I am the lighting engineer, and Edison is the prop designer, so here are some preparations.
Edison: Some props that don’t exist just happen to be made directly, even if they are invented and created on the spot, there is no problem, hahaha
Me: Can I see the playlist?I'm curious as to what the followers will perform.
Sherlock Holmes: Sure, but I think some of it seems subtle.
After Holmes finished speaking, he handed me the program list, and then he and Edison walked towards the warehouse of Chaldea.
My curiosity was further aroused by Holmes' words, my eyes quickly scanned the entire list, and my face gradually became a little dumbfounded.
The previous program was pretty normal.
There are performances of The Phantom of the Opera, piano performances by Mozart and Salieri, cross talk between Okita Souji and Oda Nobunaga, and "Cowboys Are Busy" sung by Billy the Kid.
The Chaldean troupe formed in Salem last time officially returned, and Abigail, Circe, Mata Hari and others all appeared.
The script was jointly produced by Andersen and Shakespeare. The quality is sufficiently guaranteed, but I don't know if it is a tear-jerking tragedy.
Me: If it’s Chinese New Year, it shouldn’t be.
And the next few programs are the reason why I feel that this program list is full of slots.
Program "Jing Ke Assassinates Qin", performers: Jing Ke, Emperor Shihuang
The program "Farewell My Concubine", performers: Xiang Yu, Yu Meiren
The program "Longzhong Pair", performers: Kong Ming, Emperor Shihuang
Program "Golden Album", performers: Minamoto Yorimitsu, Shuten-douji, Sakata Kintoki
The program "The Epic of Gilgamesh", performer: due to too many characters, this is omitted
The pending program "Oh!Yu Boom's Rome" and "Elizabeth in Concert"
New Year's Eve Dinner in Chaldea
Putting the program list on the table, I hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up a pen and crossed off the last two pending programs, after all, my life is important.
I thought I would be able to have a hot breakfast next, but when I came to the cafeteria, I found that the Chaldean chefs were gathering together to discuss the New Year's Eve dinner.
Emiya: The New Year’s Eve dinner is not a staff meal that can be made up with just a few spoonfuls. It not only needs rich and rich dishes, but also needs both meat and vegetables, and balanced nutrition. Consider the different tastes of the servants, and consider the food with blessings. Meaning······
About [-] words are omitted below, and the eloquent Chef Emiya finally finished his speech.
Emiya: In short, the most difficult problem that our Chaldean chef team needs to overcome at present is that there is simply not enough manpower! !
Boudica and Tamamo Cat nodded vigorously upon hearing this, agreeing with Emiya's opinion, because it was simply impossible for the three of them to handle the entire Chaldean New Year's Eve dinner.
Emiya: So let’s all go and get some people who can cook to help. In addition to my black self, I can also ask Ishtar, Ereshkigal and Parvati .
Yuzao Cat: I can go to Yuzao’s Meow, she has been doing bride practice in order to get married as soon as possible, and her cooking skills are not bad at all, meow~
Boudica: Then I'll ask the other servants to have a look. I don't know who is good at it.
Emiya: If it doesn’t work, just use a few swordsmen to chop vegetables, a few spears to thread meat skewers, and a few cavalry to help deliver ingredients, just make the best use of everything!
Wearing a white apron, Emiya clenched his fists tightly, his resolute face was full of seriousness, and his eyes were burning with burning flames.
Emiya: With the name of Chef Chaldea, I will make a New Year's Eve dinner that satisfies all the servants! !
After Emiya and others left, I went into the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then on the way back to my room, I met other servants who were immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
Frankenstein: Happy New Year, Dad, bring me the red envelope!
