The meat is cooked just right and is very chewy.

Broken Tooth had the urge to kneel on the ground and worship Tianhao.

For the first time in his life, he felt that he had made the right choice———— decision to leave the Pig Clan and join Rock City was so wise. Not just because of a portion of braised pork, but full of hope and longing for the future.

In fact, cold meat is not necessarily better than hot food, but Tianhao is the lord of the city, and his lofty status is equivalent to the guidance of potential consciousness, just like red wine mixed with Sprite in the era of civilization, which used to belong to the preference of the whole people. As long as he, the city lord, says yes, everyone else will have a subordination mentality.

The braised pig's ears are cut into shreds, the pig's trotters are cut from the middle, the sauce-colored skin has a hazy translucent texture under the firelight, the pig's heart is cut into thin slices, and the fat and thin pig's head meat is piled up obliquely in the center of the plate layer by layer, and the yard is a triangular hillock.

The light gray clay dish contains some salt and dried ground chili peppers, which are mixed with red and white, and are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

Wash a radish and cut it into finger-sized strips.

I also plucked two green onions and cut them into thin strips.

More than 30 people were crowded around the large round table, watching Tianhao sit there leisurely, picking up a piece of pig's head meat with chopsticks, dipping it in salt and spicy seeds, and sending it to his mouth to chew slowly.

This week's meal is like a grand ceremony. It's no wonder that after being promoted to city lord, Tianhao rarely spends his time serving food, although everyone knows that his cooking is delicious, but it is the first time that he has seen him deal with a fanged pig so carefully.

Tianfang scratched his head, and asked suspiciously and expectantly, "Is it delicious?" ”

Tianhao picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it into his mouth, glanced at him lightly, and didn't say anything.

This kind of thing doesn't need to be explained at all.

The old priest pushed the people on the left and right with all his might, and forced a chair into the crowded table. According to the habits of the northern barbarians, the most direct way to eat is with your hands, but after being with Tianhao for a long time, the old priest was seriously affected...... He knew that Tianhao would not provide cutlery at such a time, so he brought a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

“…… Delicious! The old priest's mouth was stuffed with braised meat, the only two syllables he could utter.

How can an occasion be without wine?

Although the cider is a little lower, it is better than nothing.

Looking at the people gathered around the old priest, Tianhao smiled softly.

Power is a good thing.

In the past, when I was in Panshi Village, I occasionally cooked something delicious, and many people would compete to share it together, and I didn't have so many scruples about talking and doing things. Although the leader is the lord of a village, he is only the head of a hundred. Now it's different, the lord of the big city, and he is also the lord, he led his troops to win several battles one after another, and wiped out the entire pig clan. Looking at the Leijiao Division, except for the patriarch Niu Weibang, he is really under one person and above ten thousand.

It is said that the higher the position, the less friends people have, and this is true.

With a faint sense of regret and satisfaction, Tianhao pushed out the large basin full of braised meat in front of him, and laughed loudly: "Don't stand, find the dishes and chopsticks by yourself, do it yourself." ”

The crowd erupted in deafening cheers, and the silent and orderly situation was broken in an instant. Prepared maids came from the kitchen with empty bowls and chopsticks, and the men scrambled over them as if they were fighting. It's a chaotic and weirdly coordinated part. No chopsticks fell to the ground during the whole process, but the maid's ass was pinched a few times by these guys.

At least that's what Tianhao saw.

Ayi brought the freshly roasted pork brain to the table. It is the practice of chopping pork brains on a plate, sprinkled with chili peppers and coriander, mashing a sour ant for seasoning, covering the plate and roasting it over a hot fire. In order to conform to the noble status of the Tianhao City Lord, Ayi specially added a large spoonful of refined grease to this dish.

This "steamed brain" was Tianhao's favorite food in the era of civilization. The most authentic way to do this is to replace the plate with leaves. Unfortunately, it's late winter and early spring, and although you can see the green of the treetops, it's only a small bud.

After a few glasses of wine, Tianhao also became dissolute. He looked around and saw Ayi standing in the distance, as if only then did he remember the rule that "women can't eat at the table". So he smiled, beckoned to Ayi, and without waiting for her to react, he pulled her directly into his arms and pressed her his lap.

"Let's have a bite to eat and a drink." He said seriously, smiled, and handed over the chopsticks.

The savage man has a special constitution, the cider content is very low, and an occasional glass will not have any effect on pregnant women.

The tumultuous surroundings suddenly became quiet. Everyone, including the old priest, stared at Tianhao with strange eyes.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and shouted inappropriately, "My lord, women can't eat with men, you are breaking the rules by doing so." ”

Ayi's body trembled obviously, and she subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Tianhao firmly wrapped her waist with her strong and powerful arms, unable to move.

"It's just a fart, that's the bastard's rule?" Tianhao seemed to have drunk too much, he raised his hand and pointed to the crooked tooth sitting opposite, and scolded loudly: "Are you 1 not a woman?" How did you get here without a woman? And your grandmother, your great-grandmother...... If it weren't for these people, how would your grandfather and your father come here? Stinky boy, if you say such a thing, I think you are simply forgetting your ancestors! ”

Qu Ya's face was blue and red for a while, he was obviously afraid of Tianhao's power, but he was unwilling to admit defeat on this issue, and muttered stupidly: "We men have great strength and can do heavy work. Fishing, mining, quarrying, building houses, roads, forging weapons, and fighting wars...... Which one is not us men rushing to the front? Women can only stay at home to cook and take care of their children, and it is normal not to let them eat at the table! ”

Tianhao let out a sneering sneer again: "Without a woman weaving a net, what do you use to fish?" Without a woman weaving rattan baskets, how can you bring back the stones you dug? There is no woman who makes honeycomb coal from peat, and you breathe fire with your ass to make steel? Speaking of war, what kind of dry food you usually eat, a leather bag for water, a blanket for sleeping in the wilderness, and a rope for catching and tying up prisoners are not made by a woman? ”

"Can you do it without a woman?"

"Without a woman, your life is over. Don't be unconvinced, if you have the ability, you don't want a woman yourself, give birth to a child for me. ”

The previous words were said harshly, and they did not give the curved teeth any face. The latter ones are pure ridicule, and there are more jokes, which cause everyone to laugh.

Ayi felt that there was obviously something in her body that she had never had before, her waist was straighter, her chest was raised very high, and she was not humble when she raised her head. At this moment, she felt that she had the qualifications to be equal to these men.

Not only her, but also the several maids standing next to her have also changed. They held their heads high, and their eyes radiated a stronger confidence than usual.

"I don't care about anything else, but in Rock City, in my territory, there will be no such thing as "women are not allowed to eat at the table" in the future. If anyone disagrees, get out of town as soon as possible! ”

Tianhao's gaze was condensed, exuding unquestionable majesty.

Broken Tooth and Red Nose and the others laughed around Crooked Tooth, knowing that the city lord was just talking about it, and would not really punish Crooked Tooth. It's informal, and no one cares about that.

He drank slowly with his head curled, and only in a position that others could not see, his lips rose slightly, revealing a light smile that only he understood.

He is a loyal who is determined to follow Tianhao to the end of the world, even if it is an unbelievable order, Crooked Tooth will not refuse, and will only carry it out without reservation.

It's just a pre-arranged double reed performance in public. Since it is a drama, there must be positive and negative angles. It is important that the performance time is not too long, a few simple arguments, and the noble lord of the city will make a final decision on the issue of women, and this is enough.

It is easy for people to see the flaws in the endless debate, and it is the right way to express it by picking a few random sentences with a fixed mindset. The barbarians' prejudice against women is so ingrained that Tianhao never thought of making a comprehensive change overnight. He wants to use Ayi as an example and severely suppress the guy who doesn't have long eyes. This matter will soon spread out, and this alone can easily win the hearts of all the women in the entire city, and even the entire territory.

Allegiance, not terrible love.

It was dark, and the banquet was gone.

Tianfeng walked up to Tianhao, put his arm around his shoulders, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear, "Ah Hao, what's wrong with you today?" Isn't it just pork, why do you want to make so many famous halls? ”

Tianhao stopped and looked at him with pure black eyes: "Is the food I made delicious?" ”

"It's delicious." Tianfeng replied honestly, and he immediately frowned: "But I don't understand, why do you need to make it so complicated?" Raising fanged pigs is to feed more people, and the pork you make does taste good, but it's too cumbersome and takes too much time. Delicious things everyone likes, in our current situation...... I'm afraid that it will become a cart before the horse, and many people spend their minds on this, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Tianhao nodded slightly: "You're right, there is indeed such a possibility." But don't forget that life itself is made up of many good things. It is a blessing to be well fed, and it is also a blessing to have clothes to wear in the winter. We do not lack these two kinds of happiness at present, and we must let everyone experience and look forward to more happiness. Delicious food is a ritual, just like we offer the best to the gods at a sacrificial ceremony. Life is very difficult, the labor day after day is boring and boring, and with good food, it is possible to make the people below have a sense of anticipation. ”

Tianfeng's thinking changed quickly, he thought about it, and asked uncertainly, "So you look at that old woman named Osmanthus differently?" ”

"She can sing." Tianhao smiled: "And the singing is very good." The point is, a lot of people like to listen to it. ”

"You have a point." Tianfeng is not the kind of person who is stubborn. With a smile on his face, he gently punched Tianhao in the shoulder, and sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect you to know so much and see so far." You've really changed a lot compared to what you used to be. Sometimes I wonder if you're my brother, not the third child who only revolved around me in the past. ”

"We're family. It doesn't matter if I'm the lord of the city or not, that won't change. It is impossible for Tianhao to admit that he has become accustomed to this body as his host: "Come on!" It won't be long before you, too, become the lord of the city. ”

……

Viewed from the air, Rock City resembles a giant spider, and the road connecting it to the various gates is its arthropod, stretching into the distance.

Tianhao has been waiting for the after-effects of killing Yu Zheng. The Fierce Bull Department is too far away from Rock City, and it will take at least two weeks to come and go.

He was not interested in finding out who was behind the rumors that he had rebelled.

There is no accurate account of the replacement of prisoners. Of course, it is impossible for the great master to lie, and His Majesty the Niu King must have given this order. As for why no one came to the door after the fierce bull department asked for a prisoner exchange, it is not difficult to ————guess that Yu Zheng died, or was he directly thrown to a group of hungry wolves to tear alive, once the news spread, all kinds of guys who wanted to take advantage of it with careful thinking and small calculations were frightened by this terrible news and stopped moving.

In fact, everyone is waiting and waiting. Rock City is now a big fat piece of oily meat, and everyone is waiting for the first wolf to pounce on it.

Tianhao is never disturbed by trivial matters from the outside world. He is very clear about his positioning and purpose———— development is the last word.

The prison is located northeast of Rock City, a corner, a large pit that has existed since the beginning of the city. Once upon a time, there was a small peat vein here, and the Rock Village relied on these shallow combustible materials for many years. Later, the peat was hollowed out, and the rain washed away, causing the mine to collapse, forming a large pit with a depth of about 20 meters. Tianhao simply used waste and built a prison here based on the terrain.

Even the most prosperous cities have discordant groups. Thieves, liars, hooligans, villains...... In contrast, Rock City fared better, with a huge underground space large enough to accommodate thousands of people, with only eleven single rooms coming in handy.

This was also a time when prison utilization was high. Rock City does not raise lazy people, even prisoners, they must work honestly under the supervision of the jailers and get their share of food.

When Tianhao walked into the cell, Shi Yong was lying on the bed. He heard the sound of the jailer opening the lock with a key, turned sideways, glanced at Tianhao, who had walked into the room with his feet up, let out a cold snort from his nostrils, closed his eyes, and ignored it.

The jailer brought a chair, and Tianhao sat down slowly, motioning for him to leave. The metal cell door was hidden, and Shi Yong, who was pretending to be sleeping, saw the unlocked door through the gap in his eyelids, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his muscles suddenly tensed.
