Although Don wanted to be considerate of Barod, he really couldn't accept it when he saw him eating **** and enjoying his face.

"Sorry......"

Tang En smiled very reluctantly: "Lord Barod, the food you provide is probably not up to our appetite. ”

"Really? I think it's good. ”

Barod chewed a few times and swallowed the beetle in his mouth, grinning, revealing a mouthful of white pulp.

Vomit -

Don subconsciously covered his mouth.

Barod pouted and said: "You surface creatures are really troublesome, these foods are obviously difficult to collect, especially this **** beetle, because the range of activity is very small, and the action is agile, it is difficult to find and collect, after simply cooking with the head and tail, put it in the mouth and bite it gently, 'snap', the wonderful feeling when the slurry explodes in the mouth is indescribable." ”

If it weren't for the fact that he was eating a beetle, Don would have thought he was describing Beluga caviar.

Pity......

"Please don't say any more!"

Seeing that Fiona and the others were already showing signs of nausea, Don raised his hand with a pale face: "I'm sorry, although we respect your customs here, I'm afraid we can't accept this kind of food." ”

"Hey, I said it earlier, it's a waste."

Barold pursed his lips, and then said to the servant next to him, "Remove these things and send them to the harem for the queen to enjoy." ”

"They?"

Fiona was surprised, though polygamy was not a strange thing. But......

"There is usually only one queen, right?"

Barold said disdainfully: "Who prescribed it?" I am the king here, and what I say is the law, and I am willing to make them all my queens. Then they are the queens here. ”

After saying that, Barod looked at Don without saying a word.

"Uh, what do you think I'm doing?"

Barod said with a look of course: "Since you don't accept the food I prepared, of course you have prepared your own food, so I also want to taste the food of the surface world." ”

He's so calm.

"Hurry up, big brother, let this idiot see our wonderful food, and let him eat it and never forget it!"

Brian smirked, "And then when he ate that disgusting stuff again." It's hard to swallow, think about how much delicious food we can eat and you can only eat bugs here. It feels so cool! ”

Brian really didn't miss any opportunity to taunt Barod, obviously they are dwarves, could it be that mountain dwarves and underground dwarves are inherently incompatible?

Barod stared at Brian gloomily, and he wanted to shut the guy's mouth.

Don pulled out steaming portions of food from his personal space. These are all before departure. Marlene took the maids to make it in the back kitchen, and let Don put it in the personal space while it was hot, and it was still hot when he took it out.

Of course, this food was one of Donn's privileges, and the accompanying members of the guard were only allowed to eat all kinds of dried bacon and canned food - and even then, the food of the guard was much better than that of the adventurers.

What Donn brought out was some of the foods that were common in the surface world, bacon made from various livestock meats, tender and juicy kebab steaks. Cheese, in addition to these. There are also herbal smoked eggs developed by Don (magic tea eggs), sizzling honey sauce meat steaks, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, and so on......

Finally, he took out a can of chili pepper that he cooked by himself, and paired it with a cold beer to accompany the meal, it was amazing!

Sniff ...... Sniff ......

Seeing Barod twitch his nose and greedily savor the thick scent in the air, Brian smiled as he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

He proudly unscrewed the live mouth of the wine barrel, took a glass of cold beer, poured a big sip beautifully, and burped: "Cool!" This place is hot to death, hotter than a big forge! Take a sip of cold beer, and the whole person is refreshed! ”

Then Brian showed off again: "Seeing that you live in such a poor country, you probably haven't even drunk beer, right?" Is a dwarf without beer still a dwarf? ”

After saying that, he grabbed a fat bone-in leg and took a bite of it fiercely, the fat juice splashed out, and an even richer fragrance wafted around, burrowing into Barrod's nostrils, Barod's throat stirred, and he swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

He couldn't take it anymore.

"Let that damn demeanor and etiquette ******!"

Barold cursed rudely, rushed over to grab a beer, then grabbed a bone-in leg and bit it hard.

The tender pieces of meat were torn by the teeth and rolled on the tongue, and the thick juice suddenly exploded, with a strange smell rushing to the brain.

Barod froze for a moment, then nibbled even faster!

Perhaps he choked on his eagerness, and then thought of the beer in his cup.

"Goo-goo-"

After gulping down the cold beer, Barold shivered, they had been living in the hot underground world, they had long been accustomed to this temperature, this glass of cold beer was too exciting for him, it actually made his eyes dark, and his brain hurt.

But......

"Is this the legendary beer?"

Barod clutched his head, savoring the taste left in his mouth, the dwarves had been in the underworld for so long that they had completely forgotten what they had lived in the underworld, and at that time, beer had not even been invented.

In the underground world, due to the problems of the environment and raw materials, it is impossible to brew beer at all, so they have not developed a corresponding culture at all.

But as Brian said, is a dwarf who hasn't drunk beer still a dwarf?

It is not because the dwarves like beer that this culture was formed, but because beer just happened to meet the appetite of the dwarves, so it became one of the main cultures of the dwarves.

Barod had never drunk beer, but just by drinking this one, he immediately fell in love with it.

It is so compatible with beer that it may have been hidden deep in the dwarf genes.

Seeing that Barold and Brian were fighting-for-tat as they fought for wine, Don smiled and took out some chilled juice for the ladies.

The Red Grotto is indeed very hot here, very hot, think about it, a place next to the lava river, and the whole cave is basically equivalent to a closed pressure cooker, and the temperature here can be imagined.

Tang En estimated that the average temperature here is at least more than 40 degrees Celsius, and it won't take long for normal people to become dehydrated here.

The people who came here were not ordinary people, and the power of the Apocalypse gave them the confidence to fight against the harsh environment, so they could persevere here.

I'm afraid that Tina is the only one here who is an ordinary person, but she is protected by Nora's blessing, so she is also safe and sound.

But even so, staying in this environment all the time, Fiona and her sisters still have a feeling of being stuffy and hot.

At this time, the chilled juice that Don took out was like an artifact, and after one bite, the whole person was refreshed from head to toe.

The quarrel between Barold and Brian seems to have come to an end, although he is strong enough, but Brian's title of "King of the Mouth" is not given in vain, so in the end, Barod was defeated.

He didn't want to talk nonsense with that idiot anymore, and asked Donn, "Human, is this the food you paid me for?" If that's the case, yes, I'm satisfied. ”

"No, it's not that."

Don put down the cup, pointed to the cans on the table, and said, "It's food like this." ”

Seeing Don put down the cup, Nora sneaked up, got into the cup directly and took a bath in the tea, and then rushed out, thinking in her heart: Hmph, let you lie to me, let you drink my bath water!

"What is this?"

Barold grabbed the can and flipped through it a few times: "It's obviously an iron box." ”

"It's canned food, and the food is sealed inside."

Donn patiently explains, "This is our Ellington special process, and if you use this method to store food, you can store it for a very long time. ”

"How long?"

"A year or two."

Because the Red Grotto is a harsh environment here, Don En didn't dare to talk too much.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard that it could be kept for a year or two, Barold instantly jumped up excitedly: "How long!?" A year or two!? ”

"That's right, that's a conservative estimate."

With a smile on his face, Don gracefully picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "Poof", Nora covered her mouth and laughed, Don glanced at her strangely, and then said lightly: "In fact, if the storage environment is better, it can be stored for a longer time." ”

Barod's expression was very serious: "Human! Are you sure you didn't lie to me!? ”

Don understands how important it is for underground dwarves to have a way to store food for years without spoiling.

Even for the countries of the surface world, it is of great strategic importance, not to mention the dwarves who lack food during the change of seasons.

Although the underground world still uses twelve months to record the year, they are no longer divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are simply divided into the wet period and the dry period, if you can store the food in the relatively abundant water period, and wait until the dry season when food is scarce and then take it out to eat, I don't know how many lives can be saved!

Barod said to Donn very seriously: "I need this technique!" ”

Don smiled slightly, and sure enough, he took the bait.

He put down the teacup for a long time, and said slowly: "In that case, then after I hand over the canned food to you later, let's talk about trade cooperation." ”

After getting the Barolds, won't those rare minerals continue to pour into Ellington in the future?

Don laughed silently.

"Yes, as the king of the dwarves of the underworld," said Barod, pointing to Tina, "I will marry her, and this is the greatest sincerity I can show to our cooperation." ”

Everyone froze.
