Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 258 Cultural Guests
The song Batterfly is one that everyone who hears it will understand.

The cheerful rhythm will make young people dance in an instant.

Even if a middle-aged person is conservative by nature, when he hears this song playing in the supermarket while carrying a basket to buy vegetables, the rhythm of his walking will inevitably be affected by the song.

Not to mention the young elves who love literature, music and painting.

“This song is great!”

"It's so exciting. My whole body is moving along with it."

Zhang Jingyi was holding a guitar and pretending to play it on the boat. He was not very good at dancing, but he had no problem jumping around to the rhythm of the music. With him leading the way, the young elf could not resist.

An elf by the river couldn't help but dance to the rhythm.

Then more young elves joined in, and many people ran out of the house and danced to the rhythm of the music. It seemed as if a grand music party was held by the river.

What’s interesting is that the elves’ dancing and musical skills are obviously higher than Zhang Jingyi’s. They improvised choreography on the spot, and their dancing was much better than Zhang Jingyi’s random dancing.

Many elves also took out instruments such as harps and flutes and began to play along with the rhythm of Batterfly. After only one cycle, they were able to keep up and play the song with harps and flutes.

When Zhang Jingyi's portable speaker finished playing the song and there was no musical accompaniment, the elves' own accompaniment with harp and flute immediately took over and continued to accompany the elves.

Then play music and then dance!
Zhang Jingyi smiled and thought: Sure enough! The effect of music is really good.

He used to play a game called "Civilization 5". In that game, there was a way to win called "cultural victory", and one of the powerful weapons in this kind of victory was music!
By moving a great musician to an enemy country and using a popular song, you can launch a powerful "cultural attack" on the enemy country and accelerate the achievement of cultural victory.

Music is so awesome!

On the river bank, an elf old lady and a group of elderly and middle-aged people were waiting for Zhang Jingyi's arrival. Unexpectedly, on his way over, he used music to make all the young people dance.

The group of middle-aged and elderly elves couldn't help but sigh: What a great song! Even elves of our age couldn't help but want to dance along. Great! Human culture and art have indeed advanced to a new level.

Zhang Jingyi's boat slowly stopped in front of them.

Zhang Jingyi jumped off the boat and said, "Hi! Hello, fellow elves."

The eyes of the elves were simultaneously locked on the guitar in his hand.

"Oh? Do you like musical instruments?" Zhang Jingyi could see that their interest in musical instruments far exceeded the compound bow last time.

Zhang Jingyi quickly took out a stack of A4-printed English versions of "Guitar Tutorials" and handed them forward, along with the guitar: "Here, I'll give them to you."

The elves were delighted. They accepted this thing much faster than the compound bow. They were not polite at all. A middle-aged elf stepped aside holding a guitar and could not wait to open the tutorial. He flipped through it at a very fast speed. Within a few minutes, he plucked the Doremifaso Lacido with a light touch on the guitar. "It is very similar to the harp. Both of them produce sound by plucking the strings, but its sound is rougher than the harp. It is suitable for music with a brighter and wilder rhythm. Oh, I like this thing."

The old elf lady smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, welcome! I thought you were just here to give me a collection of poems, but I didn't expect you to bring a wonderful song and a new musical instrument to our elf village."

Zhang Jingyi: "Of course there are poetry collections as well."

He took out a bag and grabbed dozens of A4 papers, all of which were English poems he had printed.

I didn't dare use ready-made poetry collections because they would mark who wrote the poem and when it was written. Some poetry collections would even introduce the social background when the poet wrote the poem, and I couldn't show that to the elves.

So he printed all of them on A4 paper, only printing the poem itself, without introducing the poet, the era, or the social background. Several elves took the A4 paper and looked at it carefully: "Oh! My God! This poem is so beautiful."

"This is a poem about love. I was hurt by it. My heart aches."

"This is a poem about war. It's so heavy."

"Has the cultural level of mankind advanced to this point? My God! In front of this poet, I am just a country illiterate."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and took out a thick stack of A4 paper: "This is a novel, its name is "Dark Elf Trilogy", I brought the first part, if you find it interesting, I will send the second and third parts next time."

Novels are about telling stories!

Elves love listening to stories more than listening to poems.

This actually comes from a cultural custom.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, many people would entertain travelers with fine wine and delicious food and hear new stories from them.

There is a joke that goes something like this: "I have wine, do you have a story?"

Stories are valuable!

An elf took it and read only the first two or three paragraphs before he couldn't help but exclaim, "What beautiful writing!"

"This story is about dark elves? Oh my god! Aren't those evil underground elves?"

"You actually use an evil elf as the protagonist?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled: "It tells the story of a dark elf who wants to be a good person."

Elves: "Just hearing what you said, I really want to know what happens next."

“I want to start watching right away.”

"Hey! Let's deal with business first."

The elves suppressed the urge to read the novel, carefully put away the stack of A4 papers and kept it safe, and then went on to greet the guests first.

In just a few minutes, Zhang Jingyi has transformed from a "selfish human being" to a "distinguished guest who brings culture and art". His identity has changed so quickly.

A group of elves accompanied Zhang Jingyi into the elf village.

"That's where we make leather." An elf pointed to a tree house and introduced it to Zhang Jingyi: "Our elf leather armor is all made here."

Zhang Jingyi took a glance and saw several pieces of leather armor hanging in the tree house, each of which was exquisitely made. An elf craftsman was cutting leather. When he saw Zhang Jingyi, he smiled at him and waved.

"The tree house in front is our blacksmith shop." The elf continued to introduce: "Our forging technology is quite good."

Zhang Jingyi took a look into the blacksmith shop, where many exquisite iron products were hung. The elves' forging skills were no worse than those of the dwarves, and their appearance was even more delicate. The weapons they made were elegant and beautiful, and were not of the same style as the bulky machines made by the dwarves.
