"Hehehe, because I'm young, of course I'm 'less'. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The crow said nonsense that he didn't believe, he smirked for a while, lifted a stainless steel lid on the table and said, "Come on, come on, take a look at the specialties here in Brocade City, these things can only be seen in a small place in Hedong, and you can't eat them anywhere else." ”

"What is this?" The female leopard, who originally thought that the crow's expression was very hateful, and wanted to continue to follow Rose's words to pursue him, subconsciously followed the crow's hand to sweep the table, and was immediately attracted by the contents of the plate. The white porcelain plate is small and delicate, but what is even more beautiful than the porcelain plate is the food inside. It was a translucent food, white without a trace of variegation, cut into slender cylinders one by one, arranged in a complete fan shape on the plate, and exuding a faint sweet fragrance from the surface of the food. The beautiful and cute shape instantly aroused the curiosity of the female leopard, making her look at the food on the plate suspiciously and asked, "It looks like coarse fiber, but it is crystal clear and crystalline, can this thing really be eaten?"

"If you can eat it or not, you can try it yourself. Although the crow said this, he took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and put one in his mouth, squinting his eyes and chewing with enjoyment, until he swallowed the last fiber, he sighed deeply and said softly, "The specialty of Hedong and Hexi, the white jade pillar, the taste, whoever eats it knows." ”

The two ladies glanced at each other, the crow's intoxicated performance made them look forward to the meal, and the two tried to pick up the white jade pillar and put it in their mouths, and immediately, an indescribable sensation filled all the taste buds. It is certain that this is a meaty fiber, the fiber is coarse, but the texture is extremely soft, and it almost melts in the mouth when you bite into it. Chew it carefully, and the soft meat has a faint fishy smell, but the fishy smell is cleverly masked by the ingredients during cooking, turning into a peculiar aroma.

"It's ...... Crab bar. Rose brushed her long hair with one hand, elegantly sandwiched a white jade pillar, and said softly, "But crabs don't have such a complete piece of meat." ”

"That's right, it's crabs. There was a saying before the catastrophe, Hedong crabs are fat in late autumn, and crabs in late autumn are the most delicious. However, in the new era after the Great Tribulation, people realized that in fact, midsummer is also a good time to eat crabs. The crow pointed to a plate of white jade pillars and said, "This is a special river crab in the Yemai River, and it is only available in the downstream of the Yemai River, that is, in the generation of Hedong and Hexi." The carapace of each crab can grow to more than three meters wide after the catastrophic disaster, and a pair of crab claws can easily clamp an ordinary person in half. In the middle of summer, although they do not have crab paste and crab roe in their stomachs, the flesh of their bodies is already very full. After catching one, knock on their eight feet, take out the crab meat inside, cut the fullest part of each leg, and go through a special cooking technique to make this white jade pillar. For such a small plate, you probably need three leaf crabs. ”

"Sure enough, it's the infamous man-eating crab. Rose nodded, "I have heard that this kind of monster in the famine era, even attacked the cities on both sides of the Yemai River in groups, tens of thousands of crabs composed of troops were mighty, and the cities along the coast were not spared, most of the people were torn apart and eaten alive, and the wailing and screaming could even last for days and nights. ”

"You don't usually have that many scales. The crow shook his head and said, "Because they have a strange property that naturally limits their numbers. ”

"Oh, I haven't heard of that. Rose frowned and asked, "What properties?"

"Whenever they reach maturity at the age of four and can leave their old group to establish a new group of their own, they perform a ritual activity. With a very strange smile on his face, the crow said softly, "All the leaf crabs who plan to divide out to establish a new group will gather in a body of water and take the initiative to fight, until the last one is left, and they are not qualified to move on to a new life." So, at that time, you will see hundreds or thousands of giant crabs, fighting to the death in the Yemai River, and the scene is extremely tragic. ”

"Oh, so the young city lord is just the young city lord. Rose said thoughtfully, "So, you invited us?"

"Oh, please come, it has nothing to do with it. Raven smiled and said, "You guessed it right, Damask City does have this rule. Each generation of city lords does not directly appoint heirs, and all heirs seek the support of all parties in the city themselves. When the lord of the castle died, all the heirs, with the support of the forces behind them, began to fight openly and secretly. The struggle lasted for six months, and after six months, all the remaining heirs and representatives of all the forces of the city made a final decision, the winner ascended the throne, and the loser left. ”

"Leave?" asked Rose, "what does that mean?"

"The loser will be expelled from the city and will not be allowed to return for thirty years. "The crow is as calm as if he were talking about someone else's business," and the victor, who had united almost the entire city, succeeded the deceased lord and began to control the city for a new generation until he was also dead. ”

"I, are you raising Gu?" the female leopard poked her head out of the table full of delicacies and said vaguely, "I'm afraid that my offspring won't die fast enough, and every time there is an infighting, it will be a blow to the strength of your city." ”

"It is true that there will be some losses, the various forces will lose some talents, the city will lose some troops, and possibly some people, but in exchange, it will be a relatively qualified city lord who can also be accepted by all forces, which is a good thing for a city. "It doesn't matter if there are some heirs who can't find supporters, can't compete at all, or have no intention of competing with their brothers from the beginning, that's okay, they'll be considered to have voluntarily admitted defeat and will be automatically expelled from the city after the infighting is over." ”

"It's brutal. Rose squinted and said, "But like you said, once and for all, it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Moreover, there is a rule in the infighting stage. The crow smiled and said, "All participants can only be relevant people within the city, and outsiders are not eligible to participate." ”

"That's why you said that inviting us here has nothing to do with this?" Rose sneered, "but why don't I think people like you will be bound by rules?"

"Hehehehe, rules are dead, people are alive. The crow did not refute, but said as a matter of course, "Although outsiders are not qualified to participate directly, it is still okay to do some other things, are you right?" ”

"Well, that's not something we should be thinking about. The crow still didn't clearly state what the task was, and Rose didn't ask, but said indifferently, "Let me think about it, you were called the third young master just now, and you won't have two brothers or sisters." ”
