After sending off the foreigners, and then the Mongolians, the weather turned colder day by day.
It's getting close to the New Year.
The New Year festival is always valued on the land of the Divine Land.
Even during a peaceful era, the people's lives couldn't compare to those of later generations.
Thus, preparing food and drinks for the New Year is the most important task.
It's unclear how Northerners think, but they have the habit of preparing everything throughout the entire December so that the whole family doesn't work in January.
In the North, there's a saying: "Fat January, lean February, half-dead March and April."
This describes how people live. In January, people eat well and have high standards. In February, because of the cold in the North, there's still some food stored from January. It may be plain, but it avoids going hungry.
March and April are the times in the North when food is scarcest, and even wild vegetables are hard to come by.
