That night, the cook of the Duke's mansion was exhausted.
The cooks hired by the Duke's Mansion consisted of a team of 30 people, all of whom were veterans with quick hands and feet, but they couldn't cook as fast as the two on the table.
Especially Hercules, with his bloody mouth, the flesh seemed to be poured in.
In the end, the head chef can figure it out, don't have so many procedures, and choose the most trouble-free method.
Put the meat in a pot under cold water, cook the meat in white water, remove the blood after skimming off the foam, sprinkle some salt, and serve.
When the food was served slowly before, Lin Shuo and Hercules were still unable to tell the winner. Even Hercules seemed to have the upper hand. This giant ate faster.
Later, the food was served faster and faster, and it was boiled meat in white water. The fat was not lifted out by the cooking method, and it was all in the meat.
Fat is something that people digest slowly and greasy.
The Lin family doesn't have this problem. With tens of thousands of years of inheritance, the family's foodies carefully select the most meat-eating group of hunters. The ability to digest fat is equivalent to that of animals that have been artificially bred for tens of thousands of years. That is no meat, no joy, and the bigger the oil and water, the better.
As a result, Hercules slowly began to be unable to bear it anymore. He could hold it in his stomach, but he couldn't bear the greasiness.
This griffin weighs 4,000 jin. After the bones and viscera are removed, it is 2,000 jin of solid meat.
In the first round, everyone shared six or seven hundred catties, and there were still more than 1,300 catties. On average, he and the skinny guy opposite had to kill more than six hundred catties each.
Humans are not animals, how could this be possible.
And even if it was livestock, unless it was a high-level alien raised by the royal family in the central part of Daxizhou, I had never heard of it being able to eat so many in one meal.
So while eating, Hercules was also watching the progress of the little skinny guy opposite, thinking that he couldn't finish eating anyway, and when he couldn't eat anymore, he could eat another piece of meat and it would be over.
It was a good plan, but the reality was completely opposite to his idea.
After starting to serve boiled meat, Lin Shuo ate more slowly than before.
Because he wants to chew slowly, deeply appreciate the joy of fat being squeezed out by his teeth in his mouth.
This delicious feeling becomes more and more addictive.
Hercules didn't know Lin Shuo's pleasure in eating, so he still gobbled it up. After eating, his mouth curled up and he looked at Lin Shuo provocatively.
Because the chef team has to take care of the speed of serving dishes, the cooking techniques are not very particular, but the weight of each piece of meat is basically the same.
A portion of meat is about 50 catties, not too much difference.
Hercules just ate another six servings of griffin meat, down to three hundred catties, and felt the greasy feeling start to rise from his stomach and go straight to the top of his head.
His temples were throbbing, and his nausea was getting stronger and stronger.
He knew he couldn't eat any more, and he would have to spit it out if he ate any more.
Looking at Lin Shuo again, he was still chewing slowly, although it was a bit slower, but it was basically at the same speed as the food was served, and he kept eating, with an expression of enjoying himself more and more.
Hercules is a rough man with fine details, the corners of his eyes twitched, thinking that going on like this is not the way to go.
This kid was reincarnated from a starving ghost, his mouth was like a bottomless pit, if he continued to eat like this, he would not be able to win.
It's a trivial matter if you can't eat others, but what about the lord's face
Losing a griffin is already about to kill the lord, and eating griffin meat in order to fight for the lord's face, this is the practice of choosing the lesser of two evils.
The lord must be unhappy about eating griffin meat, but suppressing the arrogance of the mission is more important now, so he acquiesced in doing so.
As a result, I ate so much and didn't eat it in the end. Isn't this courting death
As a military commander, Hercules was quick-witted, and he quickly thought of an idea.
In fact, this meat-eating competition was carried out secretly by both sides, and they did not say it publicly.
Since it hasn't been explained clearly, the so-called competition can be more than just eating meat.
It's the same to deal with this kid in another way, and the Duke's goal can also be achieved.
So Hercules stroked his beard and laughed, and said:
"My lord deputy envoy, eating without exercising is not good for your health. Why don't we exercise first and then eat."
Lin Shuo was enjoying his meal, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to this person at the moment, and said without raising his head, "I'm lazy and don't like sports."
Seeing that Lin Shuo was not up to the trick, Hercules looked at Miao Chengyun, the head of the mission, and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard all the way."
In front of his younger brother Lin Shuo, Miao Chengyun looked a little naive, but in front of others he was a fine person.
He knew Lin Shuo's ability in eating best. It was impossible for a big, stupid Hercules to beat him in eating.
So when he saw Hercules starting to argue with him, he knew what this guy wanted to do.
Miao Chengyun didn't point it out, and said with a slight smile: "The general is too polite. Since we are living on the emperor's salary, we naturally have to do things according to the official duties. The labor of mere carriages and horses is nothing to worry about."
Lin Shuo was eating happily, but when he heard this, he felt a little off. I thought to myself that this person is really into the show as the head of the mission, and he speaks in a polite manner.
Then he only heard Hercules say: "There are many masters in the capital of the empire, and I have heard of masters above the eighth level.
However, I have never heard of the name of the deputy envoy, Shang Lin Xia Shuo, and it seems that he is an expert who hides his secrets.
How about this, let me, a rank nine swordsman, ask the Deputy Envoy for some advice, so as to fulfill the reputation of the Deputy Envoy. How about making adults feel good? "
In Daxizhou, news spreads slowly, which means that information is updated very slowly, so reputation is very important.
Because as long as the reputation is publicized, it is fixed information, and everyone knows it, and it will become the main basis for judging things.
The shadow of a famous tree is an old saying in China, and it is even more applicable when it is placed on Daxizhou.
For a "Master of the Imperial City" like Lin Shuo, who is obviously very powerful but does not have the corresponding reputation, it is actually a lot of inconvenience to talk and do things.
According to Hercules' speculation, Lin Shuo was capable but not famous, and should have been a spy of the royal family in the past.
But now that he has become a deputy envoy, it means that the royal family has other orders for him, and he can act and walk in the world in an upright manner in the future.
So there was nothing wrong with what Hercules said. He said that as a ninth-rank swordsman, he would confirm Lin Shuo's reputation and make things easier for him in the future. This sounded like good intentions.
But in fact, Miao Chengyun knew what was going on.
It sounds so good, isn't it because Lin Shuo can't beat Lin Shuo, so he finds fault and fights, so as to win and save face.
Miao Chengyun is now one of the people who watch the excitement and are not afraid of big things. He was very happy, and quickly agreed: "Okay."
Since the head of the group had spoken, Lin Shuo, the deputy head of the group, had to listen.
The leader of Liemen touched his half-filled stomach, wiped the oil from his mouth with the back of his hand, and stood up: "Okay, then we'll finish the battle quickly, and I will continue to eat."
…
Daxizhou's martial arts are prosperous and the folk customs are strong. Practice is a must for everyone here, just like children in other places on the earth have to go to school.
There are many ways of practice in Daxizhou. In addition to the practice of physical skills, different ways also teach the corresponding knowledge system, so that practitioners can make a living by this, so they distinguish occupations.
Occupation needs to be ranked, and the main basis for determining the rank is strength.
A ninth-level swordsman like Hercules means the upper limit of the profession of a swordsman, and his strength is roughly equivalent to that of a nine-level Dzogchen master who practiced the three ways of hunting.
It's just that the Nine Realms of the Liemen are perfect, because of the quality of inheritance, the gap between strength and weakness will be widened.
For example, Chu Hongyi and Lin Shuo eight years ago were both at the Ninth Realm of Cultivation Power, but if they tried to do it, Chu Hongyi could only rely on his own speed and the chance of escape.
Daxizhou's occupational ranking is better than the nine-level division of each family talking to themselves before Liemen. It is purely based on ability, and there are special evaluation agencies to formulate unified standards.
The same is true for the profession of sword master, the ninth rank represents the highest rank of this profession.
But for those geniuses who really have excellent inheritance, the ninth level is not the end, but just the beginning.
Because the high-end practice inheritance of various professions is actually monopolized by the nobles and cannot be accessed by ordinary people. And these cultivation geniuses of noble origin, once they enter the ninth rank, the emperor of the empire will give them a special title.
Having a title, in addition to its various huge benefits, also means that the title owner must be stronger than the average ninth-level worker, because their inheritance is better.
For example, the Duke of Nemea, he is a ninth-level slave beast master, and the title bestowed by the emperor of the empire is "Lord of Griffin".
Although Hercules is also a ninth-level swordsman, he was born as a commoner and has not yet been titled.
Of course, if Nemea succeeded in unifying the Principality, as his military commander and confidant, Hercules should be able to get a part of the earl's territory, so that he could become an earl and be promoted to the noble class.
At that time, Hercules' lord, Nemea, will apply for a high-end aristocratic kendo inheritance from his immediate lord, the king of the Kingdom of Bardia, to present to Hercules.
After Hercules has the earl-level kendo inheritance and passed the assessment of the Sword Masters Association, Nemea will come forward again and ask his lord, King Badia, to play the emperor of the Tianlan Empire, and then the emperor will issue an edict to Hagrid. Si a title.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a commoner swordsman like Hercules to be promoted to a nobleman and get a title. This is almost the only way.
The future and fate are closely related to the lord Nemea, so Hercules' loyalty to Nemea at this time is beyond doubt.
He plans to go all out for the fight with the deputy envoy tonight.
But Hercules is not Nemea after all, he doesn't know many things, and Nemea is inconvenient to tell him.
So Hercules didn't fully understand what the mission meant to Nemea.
He thought that Nemea was just trying to vent his anger. Since you are showing your loyalty, you have to show it thoroughly.
The lord's griffin was "manually killed" by the deputy envoy of the mission, so he retaliated and "killed" the deputy envoy by mistake, and this is called venting his anger on the lord's behalf.
Therefore, his excuse for doing it was to bestow a ninth-level prestige, which meant that the battle between the two sides was not just about ending, but for real.
Newcomers like Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun don't understand these key points. Fortunately, there is a local in the current "Mission Mission", and that is Moxiya.
During the meal, she was the "temporary mistress" hired by Head Miao on the way. Her status was not well known, so she was not qualified to serve, so she waited outside the restaurant.
She saw and heard all the movements inside.
The place where the two fought was on a section of the castle wall, not in the restaurant, so Lin Shuo had to go out with him.
When the leader of the hunting gate was picking his teeth and following Hercules out, Moxie hurried up and grabbed Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo squinted at the Daxizhou woman, wondering what she meant.
"Master Deputy Envoy." Moxie said in a low voice with a tense expression, "He will definitely kill you, and if you just admit defeat in a while, don't do anything with him."
Originally, Lin Shuo was still thinking about the griffin meat, and he wanted to deal with this fight quickly and continue eating when he came back.
Hearing what Moxiya said now, Lin Shuo's heart skipped a beat.
Because of Moxie's reminder, the content is actually not important, the key is to remind the behavior itself.
She would remind herself that it meant that this woman no longer cared about hiding her identity, which was tantamount to self-destructing her identity in front of her.
Otherwise, how could she, an inn proprietress in the Earl of Xilan, make such a judgment? What qualifications do you have to remind yourself
This shows that the matter is more serious, she can't take care of it anymore, she must come forward to remind herself.
It seemed that if she really died because of this incident, it would not only destroy her superior's original plan, but also make her unable to explain to her superior.
With this judgment, Lin Shuo immediately accepted what Moxiya said.
In fact, Lin Shuo would not only believe what Moxie said in terms of rational judgment, but also in terms of personal emotional will.
Because in this way, Lin Shuo can easily get rid of this ninth-level sword master, which is good for tomorrow's affairs.
It's normal to have some accidents.
Since this person said that he wanted to fulfill his ninth-level prestige, then he will do as he wishes.
