(237) Barbecue feast

Emperor Sarantos Midknight, while dismantling the carcass of the boar, said meaningfully to the children:

"My dear darlings, you usually like meat the most, especially the fruit wood roast duck and sauce ribs, right?"

Hearing the names of these two ingredients, the princes and princesses nodded, and couldn't help licking their lips and swallowing their saliva.

"What a bunch of gluttons who can eat!" The Emperor smiled, and she continued:

"It's not just you, I love meat, but don't forget, it's all from live animals, and it needs to be slaughtered, broken down, and cooked to become a meal on the table.

And you are lucky, born into a rich and powerful royal family, and came to this world with a golden spoon in your mouth, and your living conditions are much better than that of commoner children.

You don't have to slaughter the animals yourself, it's the servants who do the dirty work for you, and cook the bloody corpses into all sorts of delicacies and bring them to your table.

If this happens for a long time, there will be some kind of drawback.

You will gradually become numb, lazy, take all these comforts for granted, and lack the reverence for food.

But you don't know what these animals have to pay to satisfy their appetites.

So, please don't hate me and blame me.

Mom didn't mean to disgust you to see this cruel and bloody decomposition process.

I'm just doing my duty as a mother to let my children know the world for what it is. ”

Emperor Sarantos raised the iron hook of his left arm and pointed into the distance:

"Children, look, how beautiful this royal garden is!

The blue, emerald green ground, and the endless sea of flowers, it is like a fairyland on earth.

But in reality, this forest is full of savage slaughter at all times.

Flying dragonflies prey on mosquitoes and flies, agile lynxes prey on lemmings, larger wolves can prey on elk and wild boars, and fierce colorful tigers and stout grizzly bears are apex predators.

But it's still us humans who are really gambling at the top of the food chain.

We humans know how to use tools and take the life of wild beasts with a gentle pull of the trigger, so we have the opportunity to stand here and disassemble the carcass of wild boars, looking forward to the barbecue dinner in the evening.

It is precisely because of our superior strength that we do not have to be frightened, and we do not have to be afraid of being eaten alive by wild beasts.

I have done so much to warn you - don't be fooled by a comfortable and peaceful life, this world is cruel! My dear children!

Look at this bloody piece of wild boar, and then look at my one-eyed and one-armed! These are all scars left by the brutal struggle!

No one can escape the punishment of nature's law of the jungle! No one will sympathize with the weeping and lamentation of the weak!

Our Valstad Empire is surrounded by powerful enemies, and although we have already dominated the continent of Olasis, we must not take it lightly! The great powers of other continents are still eyeing us.

Children, you are the future of the Valstad Empire, you need to exercise more, read more, and become stronger physically and mentally, so that you can become a hunter at the top of the food chain, and not become a prey!

You have to be strong to protect your loved ones and protect the one you cherish."

At the end of the day, the children fell silent.

Empress Salantos had good intentions and taught the princes and princesses, and the ministers and officers on the side secretly admired her.

As a result, the eldest prince Meyer was the most sensible, he took a step forward and said:

"I remember your words, Your Majesty.

I will cherish the food in front of me, taste the food with awe, please give me a knife, and I will help to decompose the boar carcass. ”

"Oh, big brother, I've been grinding fast for you."

Sister Edgar handed him a boning knife, and Prince Meyer lowered his head and carefully picked the bones, for fear of wasting a little bit of meat foam.

"Give me a knife too, and I'll try it too!" The other children also woke up and struggled to overcome their fear of blood and came up to help.

Even the gallant Princess Rosemary helped to scald the boar's hair in boiling water, and the stubborn Maxim skewered the broken pieces of meat together with iron bars and soaked them in seasonings to taste them.

"I'm very happy with your performance! Good boy! The emperor felt that his education had not been in vain, and was very relieved, and his silver-gray eyes glistened with tears.

In the evening, the colors gradually dimmed, and the hue of the royal gardens turned golden against the backdrop of the sunset.

The emperor's children excitedly set up a barbecue grill and put the skewered wild boar meat on the charcoal fire, and the fat dripped onto the charcoal, making a 'zilazila', seductive sound, and ticking the cravings in everyone's stomachs.

Princess Edgar showed her extraordinary strength, curled her long hair, and vigorously stirred the bellows to make the charcoal fire burn more and more.

Prince Meyer showed great emotional intelligence, he took the first batch of grilled wild boar meat skewers from the grill, dipped a brush in the secret sauce to spread the skewers evenly, and then handed them to the veteran generals beside him, with a polite and elegant gesture.

Empress Sarantos nodded with satisfaction, and thought to herself: (What a good boy with general knowledge!) If only Meyer had my last name, he would be the best candidate for the Imperial Crown Prince. )

The princes and daughters followed their mother's instructions to serve meat skewers to the others first, and then enjoy the last batch for themselves.

Each child eats in a different style, and Meyer likes to eat standing up, and because he dips a lot of hot sauce, he pours cold milk to relieve the spicy while eating.

Maxim liked to eat meat on dark beer, because his mother was in a good mood, and he didn't care about drinking now.

Constance likes to use a knife to pick the meat from the skewers onto the plate, just like he usually seeks - sensible and precise, and there are people who have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he doesn't care, he arranges the pieces of meat in various formations, dips them in different proportions of sauces, and then tastes them in turn with a fork.

Princess Rosemary is known to be a dignified and weak lady, in order not to affect her beautiful image, she eats extremely elegantly, never shows her teeth, and is very attentive when she chews, without making any noise.

Despite her elegant and charming appearance, she was the child of Empress Valstad, and she managed to inherit her mother's good appetite.

The total number of meat skewers eaten was increasing at a frightening rate, and soon, Rosemary's plate was piled with bare iron skewers, which frightened Baron Victor enough, and this giant-like strong man was only full after eating a dozen skewers, and he could not imagine that the suave Princess Rosemary had such a shocking appetite.

The best thing to eat was Princess Edgar, but she ate it with peace of mind, for she had killed two giant wild boars and a litter of piglets.

The rough and scruffy princess rolled up her trouser legs and sleeves, and sat casually on a chaise longue, with her long white legs crossed, and a large handful of meat skewers in each hand.

Edgar didn't care about the sound of chewing in his mouth. There was a 'chirp, chirp' sound, and a lot of grease dripped on the new clothes after bathing.

She doesn't care about her image, even if it's a peasant girl, it's rare to be as casual as her.

The Empress of Salantos looked at her daughter worriedly, wondering how she would marry her off in the future.
