Although the competition has ended, the enthusiasm of the people in the territory for playing chess has not diminished, but has become even stronger than before.
Whenever they have free time, most people like to play a few games in the shade of a tree, and there are always many onlookers who chatter and discuss the game.
Ed sat under the grape arbor, drinking iced water and pondering some issues related to the upcoming match.
First, the venue was a bit small, and it felt crowded with so many people. Second, the temporary platform wasn't high enough, so spectators couldn't clearly see the situation on the field. Also, the venue was very noisy, so if someone spoke softly on stage, they couldn't be heard clearly below.
If other competitions are to be held in the future, the Statue Square in Taoyuan Village is not a good place. It would be better to build a dedicated venue a little south of the territory. However, that is definitely not possible now. There are not enough people, and there are too many things to build in the territory.
However, this Gomoku competition was very effective. Through the competition and the interaction between different villages, the territory felt more like a unified whole. More events should be held in the future to help the people of the territory unite better.
Let's leave the competition as it is for now! Ed took a sip of ice water and pushed the glass to Adelaide next to him. Adelaide quickly picked up the water bottle, filled it up, and pushed it back.
" Adelaide, have you thought of any solutions to the food problem we discussed the other day?"
Adelaide poured herself a glass and then took a cookie and ate it.
"Master, first of all, there's salted dried meat. It has a long shelf life, and we can make many different kinds of dried meat and dried fish. And these cookies, you see them? As long as they're stored properly, they can also last a long time. We can make a lot of them. It's just that we don't have honey, so we can only make non-sweet cookies. I don't know if they'll taste good then."
Ed glanced at the Adelaide enjoying Cuisine; both methods were indeed decent, but still far from sufficient. There were many more meat options available now, but dried meat still didn't taste very good. However, with so few spices available, it was difficult to make it taste good.
As for cookies, if they are packaged well enough, they can last a long time, which is a good method. As for not having honey, that's not a problem either; you can just make a Savory Biscuit.
" Adelaide, both of these methods are acceptable, but eating only these two foods is not enough. We need some other foods. As for cookies, since we don't have honey, we can put salt in them."
Carly was holding a piece of pig head She was about to put the cookies in her mouth when she heard Ed's words and was somewhat surprised. She took the cookies she was about to put in her mouth and brought them back to her face to examine them carefully.
Lord Ed, salty pig head Are the cookies delicious?
"It's alright! I think it should taste a bit better than black bread. You can make some to try tomorrow."
"Master, this is indeed a good idea. Savory Biscuit should taste good too, but I haven't thought of any other food yet. I can only see if I can find some fruit similar to walnut in the future."
Adelaide currently has no good solution to the problem of food preservation.
"Well, we'll deal with these things later." There aren't many opportunities to go out right now, and with Gypsum Mine already being enough, the chances of going out are even fewer.
Speaking of Gypsum Mine, Ed suddenly remembered the black coat Eric brought back last time.
It seems I need to write a letter as soon as possible and have Eric take it to that valley.
