Although he complained, Ning Buwen still put a lot of effort in preparing for the banquet.
Not only did he prepare with the security team members, he also brought his friends to help. For example, Zuo Qingcang was a very good accountant, and he was from the old mothers' army. He was very organized and much better than those security members who only knew how to joke around, drink and play cards. A mature and steady uncle like Zhang Ziwen was very good at socializing. If others wanted to come and inquire about something, he would just let Uncle Zhang refuse...
There are many more examples like this.
After Ning Buwen successfully assigned all the work, he could concentrate on learning how to cook.
Why.
He had never eaten any of these magical beasts and plants, let alone how to cook them deliciously! Cheng Yuxue had raised these pets, and it was no problem for him to beat two of them at once. He would not even have time to run away when he saw them, so how could he have the mood to eat them
Ning Buwen had no choice but to find the chef who opened the tea restaurant. This time, he didn't need to use the prop card. As long as he said that the ingredients were top-grade magic plants, the other party would come over with all kinds of kitchen utensils.
For a player like him, being able to cook such top-quality ingredients is simply a dream come true.
As for teaching Ning not to ask about cooking, it is actually relatively simple.
I'm not teaching you any exclusive secret recipes, so what's the harm in having some home-cooked recipes
"Mr. Ning, don't worry." The chef was a weak and gentle woman, which surprised Ning Buwen. He thought she would be a fat man. The image of chefs seemed to be like this.
"I will definitely help you organize this banquet well." The chef continued.
Ning Bu Wen tightly held the other person's hand.
He is actually not that good at cooking, and a lot of what he said to Wen Duoduo before was just bragging.
Now with the help of the chef, I feel more confident.
However, this confidence was immediately shattered by reality when the two of them ran to the ingredients to take a look.
“… Well, Chef Zhang, which part of this monster do you think is easier to cook? If we stew it, how many hours will it take to tenderize the meat?” Ning Bu Wen swallowed and pointed at the monster that was as big as a hill and asked.
"I think our first task is to find a way to get a piece of meat from it." Chef Zhang was also stunned. She thought that the monsters that could be used for cooking should be small and delicious. She never expected that they would be the type with thick skin and meat that looked ugly.
Not to mention anything else, just the blood under the skin and flesh, it will take a long time to filter out.
Moreover, this monster looks strange, and there are monsters whose flesh and blood are born poisonous. If things go wrong, this banquet may turn into a funeral.
"How about I take you to look at other magical beasts and plants and see if there are any that are easy to take?"
"Okay, Mr. Lawning is here."
Ning Buwen just took Chef Zhang for a walk around the back mountain.
"Isn't this the monster on the bounty list that no one has managed to capture?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I've seen this demonic plant before. It was the ultimate boss of a dungeon I visited before!"
"Oh my god! This kind of monster can't be eaten at all. Its body is full of stones and bone spurs. Don't even think about eating it. You will be cursed if you kill it."
… Ning Buwen already knew that Cheng Yuxue’s reliability depended on the situation.
For example, when it comes to matters related to magical beasts and plants, he is very unreliable.
Cheng Yuyan didn't care which monsters and plants were edible and which were not. He just pointed at a few. In the end, he found that there seemed to be only one or two kinds that could be used as vegetables, and they were all as tall as a small mountain. Killing one was enough for hundreds of people to eat.
Well, at least there are still a few that are edible, right
Ning Buwen felt that he was also drifting.
He is a guy whose only pet that can barely be called a magical beast is Shin-chan, and he actually dares to complain that these top-notch magical beasts are not delicious
No, no, I need to adjust my mindset.
After walking around, Chef Zhang's legs were almost weak and he could only walk with the help of Ning Buwen.
"Mr. Ning, are you sure you want to eat these precious magical beasts and magical plants that cannot be found anywhere else? They can definitely be a good helper." Chef Zhang couldn't help but persuade.
If they were useless monsters, it would be fine, but if these monsters fell into the hands of the legion members, they would be like adding wings to a tiger. Eating them like this would be a waste of natural resources.
"I didn't raise them. If I did, I would definitely treat them like my ancestors." Ning Buwen was also very helpless. Did he have the ability to raise so many magical beasts and plants? This would bankrupt him!
"That… "
"Anyway, he was raised by someone I can't afford to offend." Ning Buwen spread his hands, looking like he had no other choice, "He said he wanted to eat, so I couldn't refuse."
Whatever Cheng Yuxue wants to eat or drink, he has caught it himself. No matter who you are, you cannot make him change his mind.
If Cheng Yuxue was someone who would listen to advice, he would have died countless times.
Forehead.
There seems to be something wrong when you put it this way.
However, Cheng Yuxue was able to survive only by relying on himself, while the graves of those who talked behind his back could no longer be found.
"Well, if we must eat it, we should pick the first monster we saw. It's big enough and should be enough for hundreds of people to eat for a few days. Maybe we can even keep it for several banquets. We'll eat the thigh first, and then the belly and so on later." Chef Zhang sighed and had to make a difficult decision.
Anyway, these monsters don’t look delicious, so you might as well pick one with more meat. I think it won’t be that bad no matter how bad it tastes.
"Okay." Ning Bu Wen agreed readily.
As the center of the topic, Cheng Yuxue was sitting in his room doing nothing.
No, it can’t be said that I’m doing nothing.
He was peeling pecans very attentively.
Pecans are a really torturous snack. They are small and hard to peel. Not only are the kernels that you peel with great effort almost all broken, but they are not even big enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. It can be said to be extremely inhumane.
However, it still stubbornly retains its place in the nut world and has not been eliminated.
If you peel pecans just for a bite, it is undoubtedly a thankless task, but if you want to kill time, there is nothing better and more convenient than it.
Cheng Yuxue peeled the nuts one after another and left the kernels there without eating them.
The pecan nut is a whole piece without any gaps. Ordinary people need some tools to peel it, but Cheng Yuxue can pinch it just right with just a light pinch, and then quickly peel out the kernels one by one.
This is a good way for Cheng Yuxue to calm his mind.
In fact, after Cheng Yuxue handed over the matter of organizing the banquet to Ning Buwen, he never saw Ning Buwen again.
This is not difficult to understand.
Because Cheng Yuxue knew that even if he was a little cold towards Ning Buwen now, they actually knew that it was only temporary, and Ning Buwen was not the kind of person who needed to be with him all the time. Born in this era, encountering such a world, the way of dealing with emotions is naturally very different from before.
Cheng Yuxue has his own things to sort out.
He divided the peeled walnut kernels into several small piles.
The largest of the bunch represent the three largest legions in the world today.
Pangu Legion, Noah Legion and Freedom Legion.
For Cheng Yuxue, the Pangu Corps is undoubtedly the one that he feels most at ease with. Because there are no survivors in the upper echelons of this legion, even if a few more emerge, they will only linger at the bottom and are not a cause for concern.
Although there are survivors in the Noah Corps, Cheng Yuxue, the leader of the Noah Corps, has seen them before and is a man with a lot of calculations in his mind. It's just that the factional struggles in the Corps are too complicated and a single move could affect the entire body, so he is afraid to act rashly. If things really get out of hand, I think he can just make a decision and not worry too much.
The only thing that made Cheng Yuxue a little worried was the Free Legion.
Many of the members of this legion are homeless people after the end of the world. Their sense of group is the weakest, because people of different nationalities will stick together and hate each other. Compared with before, the Pangu Legion and the Noah Legion at least have a common cultural background, but the Freedom Legion does not.
Likewise, the Free Corps also has the largest number of survivors.
Because the people there don't trust the people around them, it's best to hide.
However, as long as the Pangu Legion can take control of the situation, everything will be easy.
There were two piles of walnut kernels placed together.
A bunch of NPCs representing Pandora.
Cheng Yuxue had dealt with them a lot, and knew that these NPCs also had their own thoughts, and their wisdom was definitely not inferior to that of humans. If it weren't for the fact that these NPCs were used to being alone, once they united, even dozens of Pangu Legions would not be enough to fight.
They are born with a detailed understanding of the dungeons in Pandora. They belong to Pandora but not completely to Pandora. What kind of effect they can play in the later stage, whether they are a hindrance or a help, must be considered separately.
Another pile of walnut kernels represents the survivors.
Cheng Yuxue lowered his eyes slightly.
His previous memories had always been a little unclear. After he untied the knot in his heart, he managed to remember a lot, but compared to the long time he had spent, there was still too much missing.
In his memory, the survivors were clearly more positive and organized. Those who can survive in their respective eras must have great abilities and a first-class character. Otherwise, how can they shoulder the responsibility of an era? Once people stand at a high enough level, ordinary fame and fortune will not be able to impress them.
It’s like when a person stands on the top of a mountain, he will no longer care about the grass at the foot of the mountain.
What he can see and the satisfaction he can experience are simply impossible to achieve with ordinary things.
So when did these survivors suddenly change their mindset
So, there was only the last pile left.
Cheng Yuxue looked at the pile of walnut kernels in his hand with mixed feelings.
The current situation is the result of countless coincidences and the efforts of countless people.
So is there another group of people behind the world they know
