Crossover in the Anime World

"100 points, 100 points, an unprecedented full score." The host was so excited that he was incoherent, saying: "Now everyone wants to know what this bowl of curry cooked with famous paintings tastes like? It's a pity that everyone has no chance to taste it, but this day will definitely go down in history."

The judges also said: "Yes, no one will forget today. As the queen of curry, I will also remember forever that the taste of curry can actually penetrate the soul so deeply."

"I'm not a good host." Duran finally snatched the boy's line.

So Duran, Hayama Huang, Kurokiba Ryo, and Yukihira Soma became the champions of Group A. Group B is Alice Nakiri, Niito Hisako, Tadokoro Megumi, and Takumi.

Eight players will participate in the qualifying round of eight to four.

Famous paintings cooking curry also quickly spread all over the world, causing a lot of condemnation. However, it doesn't matter within the island country. After all, these have nothing to do with ordinary people. Ordinary people just need to protect their own etiquette and don't need to pay attention to those noble games.

If the nobles are really wrong, they can come out to "private Marseille".

You have to protect your own etiquette and not cause trouble to the nobles. Because you cause trouble to the nobles, the nobles will cause trouble to you next time.

So it is best to keep a clear distinction and not interfere with each other.

But foreigners couldn't help it and thought Duran was crazy. What does it mean to use Western famous paintings as firewood to cook curry? Is food more important than art?

Of course, there are also people who support Duran and say: "Food is the first necessity of the people, and artworks are just capital containers. Many paintings are not worth that much money. It is because capital needs to maintain its value that artworks are hyped. Artworks are not that important at all. If you are hungry, a bowl of curry is more important than a hundred famous paintings."

In the Renaissance, because several port city-states gained an important position in Mediterranean trade, the Crusades at that time had to pass through here to transport supplies from the rear and spoils from the front. The local nobles and merchants obtained a lot of funds, but the problem was that they had money and could not expand their territory. Although the surrounding areas were in chaos at that time, the surrounding forces were very capable.

As a result, more and more money will inevitably lead to inflation, and money will become less and less valuable. In order to solve this problem, a capital container is needed.

Artworks became this container, and the so-called Renaissance began. Everyone admired artists, and the price of art also rose.

But no matter how high the price of art is, it will eventually collapse. Moreover, at the beginning of the Age of Exploration, the first generation of the sun never sets, which obtained the gold of the New World, held high the banner of religion, struck hard, and beat several city-states to reveal their original forms, returning to their historical status.

Then the first generation of the sun never sets became richer and richer. They did not invest in art, but in religion, established the Inquisition, and expanded abroad. They had economic hegemony on one hand and military hegemony on the other.

Of course, art is just the beginning. There are tulip traps and so on. Because there is a lot of money, you have to find a container to preserve value, but none of them can hold up, and they all collapsed.

The only one who invested successfully should be the second generation of the sun never sets, which promoted the industrial revolution. However, the industrial revolution soon encountered problems, that is, there was too much money, but it was impossible to upgrade the technology.

With more money, part of it is scientific research, but a larger part is still looking for capital containers, and the bottles and jars that contain capital are expensive, so it is difficult to break the bottles and jars.

Bottles and jars are capital containers. Technological upgrades mean breaking old jars and replacing them with new ones. But if the old jars are more expensive than the new ones, how can you replace them? Then it is really true that a golden nest is not as good as your own doghouse, because the doghouse has been blown up into art, and has become an extremely expensive work of art, and no one can take it over.

So the second industrial revolution took place in other countries, and they were still backward European countries. Because they had no money, the bottles and jars at home were very cheap, and if they were broken, they could just be replaced directly.

So making money is only the first step. How to maintain the value after making money is also a big problem. It is impossible for everyone to go to scientific research. There are not so many scientific research talents, and there are not so many scientific research directions.

Most countries will choose military, which is also the most common way of playing military hegemony and economic hegemony in ancient times. Economic hegemony makes money, and through military hegemony, money is converted into assets, that is, to grab land.

Or just find a capital container, hype the price of this container to the sky, and keep looking for others to take over. When the price collapses, the wealth disappears. In fact, wealth is concentrated again, but this wealth also needs to be maintained, so the next topic will continue to be hyped. But in this process, wealth is becoming more and more concentrated, and bottles and jars are becoming more and more expensive, making it increasingly difficult to promote upgrades.

Of course, there is also a situation of land annexation. If you have money, you buy land. In the end, the land becomes more and more concentrated, and the output from the land stabilizes your capital.

So are artworks really that expensive? Definitely not. Artworks have value, but the greatest value is the container of capital. The same is true for gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. In troubled times, people look at irreplaceable hard currency, while in prosperous times, people look at capital containers.

Duran burned a lot of capital containers and broke bottles and jars. In fact, he could choose new artists to fill them. After all, every era can have its own artists, and it is not necessary to pursue those ancient celebrities.

Capital will naturally find its own container. Even food, which is closely related to the people, can be raised to a point where people can't afford it.

This is the inevitable result of capital densification, because the more money you have, the less valuable it is. No one wants their money to be worthless, so they have to preserve it. This is an inevitable worry.

For the country, making too much money will inevitably lead to more and more expensive bottles and cans, and it will become more and more difficult to upgrade technology. In the end, it will be overtaken by late-developing countries.

The so-called dynasty cycle law is actually this problem. All kinds of costs are too expensive, money is becoming more and more concentrated, and land is becoming more and more concentrated. Bottles and cans became more and more expensive, and their ability to solve social problems became weaker and weaker. In the end, the bottles and cans were broken into pieces through war and replaced with new ones.

Of course, these have nothing to do with cooking, they just explain why art is so expensive. And who is more valuable, a piece of art or a bowl of curry.

At the stage of making money, curry has value. During the preservation stage, artworks are more valuable. Things that maintain value need to be resaleable and easy to find a new home for. In gourmet food, alcohol and grain can be used as capital containers. Other fruits and vegetables are either difficult to preserve or difficult to transport, so they are not suitable for use as capital containers.

Dulan's curry triggered a lot of discussion, and naturally some people thought of Meixi's burning mulberry wood, tearing silk, Daji's wine pond and meat forest, etc. This kind of crazy behavior is always associated with the omen of national subjugation, and it is a manifestation of the extravagance of the powerful.

"This is simply like 'the rich have endless fields, and the poor have no place to stand'. How much curry can be exchanged for a famous painting worth millions? How many people can be fed? Is Duran going to burn it? Is he crazy? This is going to destroy the country. The world is dead."

"But I think a bowl of curry is more valuable than a famous painting."

"What are your values? Curry is curry, and a dozen dollars is not bad. Famous paintings record the artist's inspiration and are the wealth of all mankind."

"But the inspiration of artists cannot be fed. Many artists died in poverty. On the contrary, their paintings are valuable only after their death. I think if someone exchanged curry for their paintings, they would definitely be willing. They definitely don’t think that their paintings are worth tens of millions, and it’s good to have enough to eat. Why is inspiration not valuable when they are alive, but valuable when they are dead? Does it ferment with time?”

"Yes, inspiration must pass the test of time and become more and more valuable."

"You are unreasonable."

Dulan watched the discussion and said that values ​​need reference. After all, values ​​are what distinguish us from them. Different people have different values. The more we discuss, the clearer it becomes.
