Chapter 118: Cannibal Night Feast
This cannibal is bigger than I thought it would be, bigger than I thought it would be. The patriarch lectured me face-to-face, and he said that cannibals are found all over the pancontinent, but their family is definitely the largest.
The development ability of cannibals is closely related to the flow of foreign populations around them, and the ability to prey and self-protection must be strong enough.
If there is no foreign population, there is no source of food, there is no ability to prey, it is useless to see that you can't eat, your self-protection ability is not strong, and you will be retaliated against if you eat hard stubble.
"That's why we've slowly figured out the conditions of locking down the territory with agencies and only one hostage per team, and it turns out that most of the foreign mobile groups are willing to accept this condition. This has also allowed us to establish a cultural identity of civilized predation, and we have never been retaliated against by the victims."
I laughed dryly: "Yes, people are what they decided to leave to you at the beginning, such a big black cauldron, who wants to carry it, it is best to choose to forget." β
"Not only that, but our reputation is spread far and wide, and many travelers will even deliberately choose our territory to travel through it, sacrificing a member in exchange for our guides, far more safely than they would if they were to travel through this vast mountain forest on their own. β
"The patriarch is really wise~"
The patriarch waved his hand politely: "In front of the famous head of the Spring Festival, contemptible people don't dare to show off. β
The polite chatter was almost over, and I went straight to the topic: "It's such a patriarch, this time the Spring Tour Group left the Spring Tour Town, in fact, they wanted to do a big project, and this project is related to the transportation and trade between the two places from the Rainer Snow Land to the Teddy King City. If you use Chunyou Town as a base station, your tribe is the first place to pass, so I would like to hear your opinion from the patriarch if you are interested in joining our project plan. β
The cannibal patriarch is indeed a wise leader, and he quickly understood what I meant, and he was very excited: "Eh~ This is a rare opportunity, although we cannibals live on cannibalism, we have always longed for a rich life and a high-quality human flesh experience, oh I mean life experience." I just don't know what we can do in engineering?"
I thought about it, and took into account the geographical location, tribal culture, and characteristics of the cannibals, and soon came up with a good solution.
"If the patriarch is willing to join, I would like to build a toll booth on your tribal territory to collect fees from the travelers and vendors who come and go to the Spring Route. β
"Sounds simple~"
"It is indeed not difficult to make use of and further develop the existing institutional restrictions and reputation of your tribe, coupled with the scientific mode of security, measurement and charging, it will definitely ensure the full collection of tolls. For those unscrupulous people who want to bypass the toll booth to evade the toll, hum, I believe that the patriarch you have many ways to clean them up.
"Through such a fee, we can not only balance the investment and expenditure of developing and maintaining the spring outing road, but also eliminate some pure tourists who do not have the ability to consume and operate, and at the same time protect the customs and culture of your tribe. β
The patriarch held his palms and exclaimed: "The head of the Spring Festival is worthy of being the first Confucian general in the world, this method is very wonderful~"
I thanked him politely, and then talked in detail about the details of the construction of the toll station, and finally decided that the spring tour group would provide the design and funds, and the cannibal tribe would be responsible for the construction, and open the door for the construction team of the spring tour town in the next step, ensuring that no one will eat!
The patriarch and I signed a cooperation agreement and labor contract on the same day, and counted 2 million gold coins on the spot and handed them over.
The patriarch praised me vigorously: "The head of the Spring Festival is really resolute, such a big matter was negotiated and implemented in half a day, if it weren't for your reputation, I would have suspected that you were a liar." β
To be honest, I don't want to be in such a hurry, the key is not to rush, I'm afraid that they will leave me for dinner.
"After we finished talking about business, we prepared a sumptuous dinner for the great spring outing group, let's enjoy the face~"
That's what I'm afraid of~~
The patriarch saw my worries and said empathetically: "Please rest assured, the head of the Spring Festival, we know how to be hospitable, and besides, we usually eat vegetarian meals occasionally~"
I reluctantly laughed, so I could only agree to be perfunctory, and secretly prayed in my heart, hoping that the vegetarian food in their mouths would not be human hair and nails or something. But even if it's an ordinary vegetarian dish, I will never eat it, the dishes are vegetarian, the pots and pans that can be used to cook dishes who know what have been made, and the oil for stir-frying, it won't be the meat oil of a dead fat house.
The more I thought about it, the more sick I became, and so did my members and subordinates, one by one, their brains were opened, and all kinds of disgusting thoughts were pouring out uncontrollably.
What surprised us was that this barbarian tribe, which had people at the door of their homes, was really not ambiguous in terms of hospitality, and there was a special banquet room.
The patriarch took me into the simple and gorgeous banquet hall on the outside, and proudly introduced to me: "Although Lori is small, she has all the organs... I mean, the sparrows are small, but they are all in the box, and despite our small tribe, they occupy an important geographical position leading to the famous town and the snowy region of Rainer, with endless ancient forests on the left and right. As the proprietor on the road, we often have to receive and feast some travelers with large backgrounds and deep backgrounds, but they also have to leave a hostage~~~"
Seeing that my face was not good-looking, the patriarch hurriedly added: "Of course, the spring outing group needs special care, you are our delicious dinner, oh I mean you are our partners~~~"
The bright lights and elaborate dΓ©cor did not alleviate my anxiety in the slightest, and the other members of the group who could not understand the cannibal language were much more relaxed, pointing and talking and laughing one by one, as if they were visiting a tour.
Everyone sat down separately, and the patriarch and I sat in the innermost, and everyone had only one seat, and there was no table or table in front of us.
The patriarch exchanged a few words of greeting in Mandarin and his own language, and after obtaining my permission, he gave me a light high-five, and ordered the food to be served.
A white-skinned and beautiful cannibal girl pushed a delicate dining cart out of the back kitchen, and first set up all kinds of exquisite tableware. I was relieved to see the tableware, and I believe that the cannibals would definitely not use these exquisite knives, forks and silver utensils when they usually eat people.
I asked the patriarch curiously, "Buffet?"
The patriarch smiled: "It's completely out of etiquette and respect, after all, there are too many guests, we can't grasp everyone's tastes, so we can only arrange a buffet, which is rude." β
If it weren't for the fact that they were bare-chested and cannibalistic, and only treated people by their words and demeanors, who would have thought that this was a cannibal tribe?
However, this is in line with the personality of the road toll system practitioner in my mind, on the surface and polite and thoughtful, and eating people behind the scenes does not spit out bones!
Everyone took the utensils and began to follow the process.
First of all, there are more than a dozen kinds of appetizers on two tables, mainly candied fruit and sour drinks, which look good. Luo Fatzi is the master who doesn't care about it, and he doesn't shy away from eating it.
I secretly asked him, "How is it?
Luo Fatzi didn't understand what it meant: "You can't have hair, the chef will definitely pay special attention to such a high-standard banquet." β
"Then look at that plate of chestnut rice, is there any teeth in it~"
Luo Fatzi smiled: "Sect Master, you are too careful, can the cook's dentures still fall out?"
At this point, everyone else started eating, and no one reacted unusually. I noticed that the high-level officials of the cannibal tribe who accompanied the banquet were frowning and eating in small bites, looking like they were coping, so I was relieved that there must be no flesh in it, otherwise they would not be so unappetizing.
I opened up to eat, and chose a few dim sum, and the taste was really delicate and very attentive. The syrup drinks are also carefully brewed and have a rich taste layer.
The appetizer was followed by the main dish, and the cannibal patriarch fully considered the psychology of the guests, and sure enough, there was not a single meat dish, and each dish on the silver tray was a clean and simple vegetarian food.
When I peeled off the dishes with a tong, there was no oil star at the bottom of the tray, and the suspicion of stir-frying vegetables with fat house meat oil was also ruled out.
The cannibal patriarch laughed with him: "Don't worry, the head of the Spring Festival can rest assured, the dishes of the banquet guests are either cold or pickled, and the hot dishes are mainly steamed and roasted, and there will definitely be no cooking methods that are difficult for ordinary people to accept." β
I also feel that I am too stingy, how can people deliberately disgust us if they accept it sincerely.
I let my guard down completely, and chatted with the patriarch and several high-ranking tribesmen while tasting exotic food. During the banquet, Luo Fatzi proposed several times that he wanted to take out some wine to help him have some fun, but I decisively vetoed it, didn't you see them eat so uncomfortable? What if you drink too much and hook out the gluttonous worms? Even if you don't eat us, the last two human flesh will be disgusting to look at~
After the main meal, the patriarch suggested that we take a break and wait for the dessert after the meal.
I used this time to bring together the high-level leaders of both sides and announce the cooperation agreement and labor contract I had made with the patriarch.
The cannibal side is almost the patriarch's one-person hall, no one raised objections, no matter how you look at it, it's a good thing, there is no reason to refuse, and you can't find a reason to refuse.
In order to enhance the sense of ceremony, I appointed my secretary Luo Fatzi as the representative of the spring outing group, and the cannibal patriarch appointed his wife as the representative of the cannibal tribe, and they exchanged gifts. Our gift was a small triangular yellow flag, similar to the one the tour guide took the guests, with the emblem of the spring outing group printed on it, which is a graphic beautified by Yanbian on the pan-continental map, implying that the spring outing group will travel all over the continent.
The cannibal gift was a set of sharp dentures, and the patriarch explained to me that they were worn when they gnawed human bones, otherwise they would not have been able to bite them.
In the end, he was disgusted, and after receiving the gift, I hurriedly proposed: "Let's serve dessert quickly, relieve the greasy, and we will be on the road, so we won't spend the night here." β
The patriarch expressed his disappointment that I could not stay overnight, and persuaded me to stop insisting if I did not succeed in persevering.
With a light high-five, the final dessert was pushed up.
It was a snow-white girl lying on a dining table.
I was so frightened that I almost screamed and asked the patriarch, "Do you know what dessert is after dinner?"
The patriarch was puzzled: "What sashimi? this is a living person~"
"Eat alive?!"
"Captain Naochun, do you have to only see this girl in your eyes, and don't you see that there are many dishes on her body? β
Looking at the young and perfect body and the delicate dishes on the table, I shook my head: "No, I really can't eat it, this dish will be pushed to my house and used as a supper at night." β
Everyone shouted in unison: "Didn't you say you wouldn't stay overnight?!"
