The banquet was held on the first floor of the Hall of Elders. There are not many rooms on the first floor, but there is a large hall that seems to be dedicated to entertaining guests.

Right now, the maid and the gray-robed waiter are busy. They didn't receive any advance notice or reminders, and a banquet like today's highest-level one would have to be prepared a week in advance. Just the tableware, plates, table mats, and flowers in vases were all the furnishings, and almost all the service and logistics personnel of the Hall of Elders were dispatched. There is also a guest list, music arrangement, lighting arrangement, hall decoration, etc., and many ordinary villagers can only be recruited to help. However, after a whole morning's hard work, it was finally half done. Some red tape traditions are too much to accomplish in a short period of time, and they can only pray that the elders will not blame them.

Not far from the Hall of Elders, there was a kitchen dedicated to the Hall of Elders, in the courtyard in front of the large wooden house. At this moment, more than 20 people dressed as chefs are also busy and sweating. Although there are still fifty assistants to help take care of it, the chefs still feel that there is not enough time, even if they are all veterans. In the yard, there are still more than a dozen pigs, cattle and sheep that have just been slaughtered, more than 100 chickens, ducks and geese, and some are still dripping blood. More than a dozen open-air grills, hinting at the general method of these meats, each hung with whole sheep and pigs that had been roasted to a browned color, sizzling with oil. There are also five huge iron pots on the side, in which garlic, onions, ginger and boiling oil are tumbling together, causing the fragrance to overflow. The assistants put all kinds of spices in a basket after basket where the chef could directly catch them, and all kinds of fresh melons and fruits were also transported one after another. For a while, the shouting, chopping and stir-frying were noisy.

The fragrance wafted far away, which naturally attracted many villagers who came to watch. These villagers are not ordinary villagers, and they also feel strange, what is happening today? Often, this kind of banquet of the highest standard is only available on the day when the whole village celebrates together. They're usually invited. But today I can only stand here and smell it.

Also attracted by the scent were the hosts of today's banquet, Carl and Leeter. They really smell the fragrance, they smell it from afar.

After all, they haven't eaten for a day and a night, but after being hit by that strange stun skill, they didn't feel hungry after waking up, maybe the attraction of the Phantom Beast Village was too great for them. When such an enticing aroma comes out of the hot kitchen, the first thing I can't stand is the nose, then the stomach senses, and then the gurgling sounds.

Carl pouted, pulled Yu Xiangyao's dress with his hand, and asked pretending to complain: "Sister Xiangyao, I'm dying of hunger, when will I be able to eat?"

Yu Xiangyao didn't notice Carl's problem at all. At this moment, she fell into deep thought, as if she had lost her soul, she looked absent, and her heart was extremely entangled. After all, in just ten minutes, his worldview was subverted. Incredible as she was, she couldn't argue with any of Leeter's words. The only thing that could support her in carrying the two Litkars to the Hall of Elders was the most determined task in her heart.

Carl didn't care what Yu Xiangyao was thinking, and kept pulling and pulling until he pulled the skirt strap off Yu Xiangyao's left shoulder. Li Te, who was in the back, was stunned, the slender arms were white and flawless, the exposed fragrant shoulders were as white as snow, because the shoulder straps were pulled down, the delicate skin appeared in front of him, and the little pink underwear was already looming, no, it was becoming more and more obvious, and the next layer of reverie had gradually emerged. But......

Litte shook his head vigorously, ending his superfluous imagination. I can't take advantage of other girls here, so I quickly dissuaded, "Carl, stop!"

"Hmm~ Sister Xiangyao, can I go over and eat some?" Seeing that Yu Xiangyao didn't hear it, Carl continued to pull.

Yu Xiangyao finally realized that something was wrong, and only felt that her left shoulder was cool and cool, "Ah!!" and then there was a scream. Everyone cast amazing glances, and there was still a hint of expectation in their eyes. "Brother Carl, what are you going to do?" Yu Xiangyao's pretty face turned red at this time, and she hurriedly straightened her belt.

Yu Xiangyao is still very clear about the difference between men and women, and it is also very traditional in this regard. Although she knew that Carl was unintentional, after all, in broad daylight, everyone was in full view, and everyone on the side still knew him. Yu Xiangyao smiled bitterly and said, "It's soon, it's coming soon." ”

After pacifying Little Carl, Yu Xiangyao turned her head and stared at Li Teh angrily, gritted her silver teeth and whispered: "Your brother's politeness, did you teach me like this? He is about to tear off my dress!" Li Teh first looked helpless, and then shook his head like a wave.

Li Te hurriedly explained: "Carl, this little ghost, I can't control him since I was a child. But I swear! I never saw your pink lingerie just now...... No, no, no, I didn't see anything. After saying that, Lee's eyes deliberately skimmed to the right

"You ......" Yu Xiangyao was speechless, choked up and couldn't speak. But when he thought of the most important thing now, which was to bring these two people to the Hall of Elders for a banquet, he could only cover up this shameful scene.

Just as he was about to take them out of the house, he found that Karl was gone. There were quite a few people watching the banquet cooking here, and I really didn't see Carl in the crowd for a while.

Yu Xiangyao asked Li Te, "Where is your brother?"

Li Te exclaimed: "I was still here just now, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye." ”

When I was confused, there was a sudden sound of many plates breaking from the kitchen courtyard. The sound of a clap thunderclap sounded continuously, and then the chef's scolding voice, "Whose wild child dares to steal the ingredients of the elders' banquet." Catch him!" Li Teh and Yu Xiangyao followed the prestige, and saw Carl holding an apple in his small mouth, a chicken leg in his left hand and a cucumber in his right hand, wandering around the stove and pots and pans, and from time to time jumping over the head of the chef who was turning the spoon and the cattle and sheep on the grill. The courtyard, which had been busy, suddenly became even more messy.

"God, don't touch me, stay away from me," exclaimed a stir-fry cook.

The chefs didn't dare to slack off the progress of the banquet, and when they encountered flying "people", they could only be taken aback first, and then bow their heads to dodge, but the guys in their hands didn't dare to stop. The cooks couldn't move, but the assistants could, yelling and brandishing a spatula pin to catch Carl. But Karl's skills are far more agile than these people, and any obstacle is gently crossed, on the contrary, these four or five assistants can only fight indiscriminately, chasing and stopping. And for fear of spoiling the food, I have to check if there is any food before I start. Despite this, some fruits and vegetables were damaged.

"Big guy, catch this little ghost!"

Not only the chefs shouted, but the onlookers were also at a loss, which was very new to them, and they only listened to their discussions, and the topic changed from the confusion about the purpose of the banquet to the trouble-making Carl.

"Whose child?" "Doesn't he know that ruining the elder's banquet is a felony?" "Why hasn't this kid seen it, have you seen it?" "No, no, maybe it's the children of the displaced people running in to have fun. "Shhhhh ”

Li Te said to Yu Xiangyao: "I'm sorry, I'll catch him, my brother has caused you trouble, please explain more later." ”

Yu Xiangyao touched her hair and sighed, "Forget it, I'll go." I saw her quickly burrow into the crowd, and in a short time she was in the courtyard. After Carl saw Yu Xiangyao's beautiful figure appear, he jumped behind him, and until just now, he had already eaten some fruit. The chefs and assistants, after seeing Yu Xiangyao, all their dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant. Yu Xiangyao also bowed vigorously and explained Carl's identity to the chefs. In the end, when the cooks realized that the dishes they had cooked were for the little "VIP" in front of them, they were so surprised that they couldn't speak, and could only bow back with a smile on their faces. Of course, in order to show that he was also used to admit his mistakes, Carl decisively returned the ingredients that he had taken a few bites in his hand.

Seeing this, the chef immediately shook his hand and said that the distinguished guests brought by Yu Xiangyao could eat as much as they wanted.

Carl Ke was not polite, grabbed two more chicken legs, sang and walked away, and Yu Xiangyao could only bow and apologize again.

"Hey, this girl's identity is really unusual. It's as if everyone respects her here. As soon as he got out of the horse, I didn't even have to go to wipe my ass...... Hehe. Li Te, who was in the distance, saw it in his eyes and muttered in his heart.

Time is of the essence for the chefs at the moment, not much, but enough. Therefore, the small chaos caused by Carl can't be considered too much at all, and it is not something that cannot be explained, after all, even the people brought by Yuxiangyao. They continued to get busy again, for the feast was still ten minutes away.

A child asked his father, "Daddy, are the elders immortals?" and the child looked quite immature, as if he had just learned to speak.

"Yes...... Why do you ask this?" his father, who was thin and yellow, was a frail middle-aged man, and because he was involved in the elder group, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

The child still heard this, and then asked, "Since they are immortals, why do the elders eat so much meat?"

The father laughed, "Those are the meat offered to the elders, this is the rule that has been handed down. I heard that as long as we are sincere, do our job well, and pay tribute on time, the elders will pray to the demon god for us......"

The child was puzzled and interrupted his father's words: "The ten pigs that our family has been fattened with great difficulty must be offered to nine heads." Why?"

"This ...... It's also a rule. The elders are amazing, and they usually wear a lot of money. Father smiled wryly.

The child pursed his lips and said indignantly, "The elders are powerful immortals, and we are ordinary mortals. Then meat should be eaten by us mortals, this rule makes it so that the gods who don't need to eat meat eat so much meat, and we who need to eat meat only have so many meals a month. Why can't the gods be considerate of us?"

The father was a little stunned, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Looking at the more and more surprised eyes around him, the father could only sigh: "Son, I don't care what you think. You just need to remember that what the Elders are doing must be right!"
