Chapter Eighty-Nine: Taking Someone's Hands Short (Asking for Subscription)
One by one, they entered Karl's barracks.
This stunned Carl. Hurriedly asked Li Muran how he did it.
"Aren't you empty-handed? Yes, how did you do it. It's still steaming, and it's still hot. ”
Li Muran smiled and said nothing, deliberately making Carl curious, just not telling the truth.
Li Muran ignored Carl's question and directly changed the topic.
"It's cheesy to give money or something. This is the sake I made in my hometown, and I also cook it at home. Adult, please try it. I'm not boasting, but I'm pretty confident in these things. ”
"Not bad, not bad. It's not very precious, but it's all tempting to look at. If you send me money, I'm going to look down on you. This kind of bribery of yours is exactly what I want. I can accept this bribe. ”
"My lord, what is not very precious. My cooking is amazing. In the past, it was my family's food that was robbed by foreign delegates during the martial arts tournament. This is something that money does not necessarily eat. ”
Listening to Li Muran's words, Carl was even more surprised.
"You, you said that the dish that became popular at the tournament is your family? The legendary dish that made Bastora famous? A dish that only exists for a brief moment and then disappears? You actually helped Bastora improve his reputation? Twice raise the international fame of Bastora, you, you are the benefactor of Bastora! ”
After the tournament ended, the main reason why the mysterious cuisine disappeared was that Li Muran had used up the ingredients from the Demon King City and the Demon King Sect.
After all, is it difficult for a good woman to cook without rice?
So it was forced to reduce production capacity.
Li Muran licked his face and continued, and there was no element called 'modesty' in his words at all.
"Yes. The man who fought for Bastora twice was me. Adults also know that I am a merchant and an adventurer. I love challenging myself in all areas. If you only think that my martial arts are good, then you will underestimate me. Compared to my fighting ability, these dishes are what I'm most proud of. I'm a genius in both civil and military affairs, that's how I hold it. Hmph, admire me. ”
How can anyone boast of themselves like this.
Although it is a bribery session, it is normal to take the opportunity to show yourself to improve the evaluation in the eyes of your superiors.
But isn't such a self-introduction too much? Isn't it too cheesy?
You're a little more humble, aren't you? Why don't you feel the ingredient of modesty at all?
Carl wanted to complain, but he still couldn't help but sigh at Li Muran's achievements.
knows that Li Muran is not only a strong man, but also has a huge business skill and a strong economic background.
To say that you don't admire is absolutely false.
Li Muran was able to make this kind of achievement at such a young age, and he blossomed in different fields, which was even more rebellious than Carl back then.
It's not too much to say it's open.
Karl's eyes sparkled, as excited as if he had discovered that the silver he had picked up was actually gold.
"Good, that's amazing. You're amazing. I'm getting more and more interested in you. ”
"If you want to talk about it, put it aside and try my family's food first."
In order to prove that there was no poison, Li Muran took two bites first, and then showed a satisfied expression.
Bella's craft has advanced again. It's already to the extent that you can marry and be a virtuous wife.
Smelling the aroma of the food and the aroma of wine, Carl swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tasted it as well.
A mouthful, followed by a brief silence, and then an uncontrollable opening of the mouth and a loud exclamation.
"Good, delicious. It's a really delicious dish. No wonder it can be like that at the martial arts tournament. This, this is also too delicious. Better than anything I've ever eaten in the past. Compared to these dishes, the food that has been eaten is basically pig food. ”
Yes, Li Muran understands.
When Li Muran was forced to eat the dragon artemisia, he also felt that the thing was pig food. But the weak races of the past still eat with relish. In order to destroy the dragon artemisia, he even fought hard.
Just when Li Muran and the excited Carl were about to continue eating.
Because of Carl's high octave voice just now, he was frightened, and several members of the Royal Knights rushed in thinking that Carl was in danger.
"Master Karl, what's going on?"
"Was it an enemy attack? Where is the enemy? ”
The panicked members of the royal knights calmed down when they saw Carl and Li Muran sitting leisurely at the table, which was full of delicacies.
"I'm fine, and there are no enemy attacks. I'm just eating. ”
"It's eating. Anyway, it tastes so good. ”
"Lord Karl is too good, he actually eats his own food."
The knights looked at the table full of delicacies and began to complain.
Li Muran knew very well that they hadn't eaten anything good.
Not to mention that the conditions of the country are not good, the Royal Knights are also suppressed by White.
Funding is being compressed and compressed.
The living conditions of the Order also deteriorated dramatically.
It was obviously the king's personal guard, but the living conditions were not as good as the ordinary soldiers under the jurisdiction of Waiko.
These knights are supported by faith.
And these knights and Karl are good brothers who are born and die, like-minded. The relationship has long surpassed the relationship between subordinates and superiors.
So you can directly complain to the chief in this tone.
Carl didn't look like a general, like a child slamming the door, covering the food with his hands, banging people.
"Go, go. I'm fine. You're out of nowhere. Isn't there still training? Let's go training. ”
The more Karl tried to expel the crowd, the more they complained.
"It's too much. Master Karl actually eats alone. ”
"If there's something good, it excludes us. Such leadership is terrible. ”
"Yes, yes. I didn't have any training. If you make excuses to bomb us, you must also find a reasonable reason. ”
"Looks so good. It's been a long time since I've eaten anything serious. I'm going to eat it too. ”
The knights didn't think it was big enough, so they went out to the barracks and shouted, and called the knights who were doing other work as well.
All of a sudden, the chief's room was crowded with people, surrounded by more than thirty knights.
Seeing that the knights are all coming to join in the fun.
Li Muran decisively stood up and relieved General Karl of the siege.
"Don't worry, everyone. Today I invite Master Karl to dinner. If you don't dislike it, let's eat it together. ”
Hearing that they could eat together, the knights cheered excitedly.
Carl frowned and looked at Li Muran with a puzzled expression.
"Wait, you still have stock?"
Li Muran still smiled and said nothing.
"Just wait and see."
Coming to a place where no one is there again, warn Carl and the knights who are watching not to peek.
Li Muran took out more ingredients from the Demon King's army.
There are handmade noodles, various spices, large pieces of monster meat marinated in the secret medicine of the elves, various fresh vegetables, and some alcohol.
Now I have used a lot of food, and the gifts for the Demon King Sect have become fewer. They're going to have to complain about it afterward.
But I don't care so much.
When Carl and the knight ran out and saw the mountain of ingredients piled up at the door, they were all stunned.
While everyone was shocked by all kinds of high-quality ingredients, they were even more curious about how Li Muran made things.
The knights asked excitedly.
Li Muran couldn't hide from it, so he modified the truth a little and told everyone.
"Have you ever heard of the 'storage space' skill? The adventurer lion in the Baka Adventurer's Guild before knew this skill. ”
This is what the lion himself said to Li Muran.
He also performed the trick of storing peanuts in the storage space. At that time, Li Muran was amused.
Li Muran didn't lie. Because the lion shows off when he sees a person, there are also people in the knights who know about it.
Taking the lion as a start, and then leading up to your own topic, makes people feel that it is not particularly unusual, and it is easier to accept.
"Actually, I'm going to do the same thing. A little more than the lion's stuff that can be stored. I can put down this forage. But that's about it. It was because of this skill that I decided to become a businessman. ”
After listening to Li Muran, he said that he had storage skills.
Carl was even more shocked.
Li Muran is not only very strong in combat, but can win glory for Bastora.
Strong business acumen and a huge industrial background.
Now he also has rare skills.
Carl felt that his three views had been subverted, and he even had three big mouths that wanted to smoke that person for Li Muran was just a good talent, and he was 'a little' admired for him.
This young man is not as simple as 'good'. It's a rare material.
Exactly what Karl and King Ba wanted.
The more Carl looked at Li Muran, the more excited he became.
Li Muran also saw Carl's change, but interrupted Carl in time.
"With so many people, it's too much trouble to cook. Do you want to come to the barbecue and have a barbecue meeting? If so, can I borrow the yard of the barracks? ”
As soon as they heard that there was going to be a barbecue meeting, the knights didn't care about the storage space, and they all raised their hands and cheered excitedly.
Because the knights shouted happily, Karl also missed the opportunity to pour out his feelings.
Then, once again, he regained his composure.
The knights are here to help. Li Muran used the meat steaks, vegetables, rice noodles, various seasonings, and salt that could be used openly to open the meat prepared by the Demon King Army to hold a barbecue meeting for everyone.
has been bullied by White, and everyone is very depressed.
I can't eat any good food.
Li Muran's treat this time made everyone happy, and their mood was also vented.
One by one, the knights were moved to tears.
"It's delicious. I never knew barbecue was so delicious. ”
"This seasoning is fantastic. Even the vegetables become extremely delicious. ”
"This rice and noodles are also super delicious. Don't raise your throat at all. ”
"What kind of wine is this? It tastes much better than the sake produced in Baka. It is fragrant and fragrant, and it is definitely a high-class wine. It's an offering for the nobles. I, I can drink this kind of high-quality goods. So happy."
"Is this a dish that has been popular for a long time during the tournament? Too, that's great. ”
Everyone shouted excitedly, like a group of happy children, not at all knights.
Carl was also well fed and satisfied.
Li Muran, who was sitting next to him, poured wine for Carl while chatting with Carl.
"Master Karl, are you still satisfied with the bribe?"
"I threw in the towel. Completely lost your bribe. I have nothing to say. This kind of bribery, even I can't resist the temptation. ”
"Thank you, for your approval, remember our agreement."
"The big husband is out of his word, and the horse is difficult to chase. I'm friends with you. Now that we're friends. May I ask a question? ”
"Excuse me."
"You bribed me and invited my men to dinner. Although it looks like an ordinary meal, these things are high-end goods, so they should be worth a lot of money. In particular, this wine has a fragrant taste, clear and transparent, not turbid at all, and there is no musty smell. The aristocracy could not drink such good goods. Forget about inviting me, and as soon as I made a move, I was so generous and invited my subordinates. I don't understand your true purpose. ”
was scolded by Carl, Li Muran just shrugged.
"I'm smart, handsome, both civil and military."
Carl couldn't help but complain.
"How can anyone boast about themselves like that. How narcissistic you are. ”
"I'm just paraphrasing what Master Karl said about me. Am I wrong? ”
Carl stopped talking, Li Muran ignored him and continued.
"But even if I'm as perfect as I am, I'm not good at it. I'm good at fighting, and I'm good at business. But I just got the position of lord, and I'm still a newcomer to officialdom, and I don't know anything about being an official. And as Master Carr said, I sensed that Lord White didn't trust me. He always seemed to be on the lookout for me. This makes it difficult for me. ”
"Embarrassed?"
"Yes. According to my experience in doing things. You don't need to panic if you don't understand something, in order to enter the new field of character habits as soon as possible, the least way to take the wrong path is to find a senior to take with you. It's better to have a boss who can not only teach me experience, teach me what I can do and what I can't do, but also follow me when I make mistakes. When I was in a dilemma, I ran into Lord Karl and simply bribed Lord Karl. ”
"I'm talking like an accidental option."
"That's right. It didn't appear in my plans at first. It's a complete whim. ”
"Don't just admit it. My self-esteem hurts. Forget it, you mean. Want me to take you to officialdom? By the way, according to you? ”
"Yes. Now that we're friends. I'll be honest, that's what I thought. The bribe just now also has the meaning of paying tuition. ”
Karl smiled wryly and whispered.
"You're looking for the wrong person. It's probably going to disappoint you. I have no real name, and I can't protect myself. Don't say that according to you, I am in danger myself. ”
Li Muran pretended not to hear it and continued.
"Take other people's hands short, eat other people's mouth short. I just invited all the members of the Knights by the way, and it was also for the convenience of the future to blackmail everyone into doing things for me. ”
"Hey, hey, hey. Is it okay to say that? Everyone is an adult, just understand it in your heart, don't say it. ”
"It's fine. If you are friends, you must be honest with each other and not hide them. That's what I think. And we won't let everyone do things that go against our principles. Just a while ago, I went to see my territory, 'Yokwan Village', and found that the law and order there was very poor, and there were deep contradictions and grievances between the people and the officials. Considering that it will be very difficult to govern, I may ask Lord Karl and everyone from the Knights to help me suppress the field and make a long noise. To put it bluntly, it is to use the majesty of the Royal Knights to help me pretend to be a coercion, so that my future work can be carried out better. ”
