Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 253 The Cook and the Stew Pot Are the Secret to Negotiation, and the Dishes Are Magic
The winter in Skadi is more difficult than most people imagined, but the development of transportation lines has largely made up for this. With the residents' subsidies that the Lord of Alan Bair almost spent money on, even the best natural food can Can keep fresh transport to individual hands.

Food is the new lifeblood of Skadi, so the Raitlin Kid now has a new destiny and affiliation, which is to be a chef in the public radio station.

This may be a bit beyond imagination, but in Skadi, who has just experienced war and has limited supplies, and the people have never touched fresh food in their lives, teaching others how to make dinner and how to have a full meal is a top priority.

The Lytlin Kid's playful voice echoed over the radio, and women all over Skadi, old and young, were pointing at the noisiest person in the family and begging them to shut up.

This is a crazy program with a higher audience rating than state church prayers and propaganda, and it is often surrounded by the whole family. Firstly, the witty jokes of the Raitlin kid are humorous, and secondly, the only thing in this boring world is to spend money on gambling and drinking. legit fun.

In the kitchen specially prepared for the Raitlin kid, the sound of him chopping vegetables on the chopping board in front of the recording equipment is heavenly, and he chanted jokingly.

"I know most of you feel that the potato skins shouldn't be removed, it's a hassle and a waste for you guys, but I've seen what happened to guys who ate sprouted potatoes with the skins on, trust me, at least they're clearing the stock When you do, you have to realize how that thing is going to be safe."

"This is equivalent to not wearing the gun deeply. It is extremely dangerous. If I had to choose, I would clean it up carefully so as not to ask for trouble. However, I would rather try poison Potato."

In Skadi, where the folk customs are simple and simple, even children can listen to such unspoken words, which is probably bad, especially when some children ask their parents what "deep" means, the parents' unwilling expressions.

But they can't control Lord Alan Bair, and they have to admit that they are enjoying it. The world is still developing, and there must be many problems. Maybe after many days, they can enjoy a talk show without dirty jokes.

And when the utterance is interrupted, the audience only hears it. "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"I need a chef, that's the end of today's show!" Alan Baier shouted.

Then the radio station only left the sound of sizzle...

Except for the dissatisfaction of the residents, there is no actual negative problem in this matter, said the planetary governor, the Raitlin boy walked beside Alan Baier. "A few guests are coming tonight. Their tastes are a bit tricky. I need you to deal with them wholeheartedly."

The Raitlin kid swallowed. "Really? I am so grateful, Boss, you trust me so much."

He knew that he was not a good chef. Compared with many famous chefs in the empire, he still had a long way to go. It might be more than enough for residents and marching meals, but Alan Baier said. "Just let them eat normally. I believe you. Compared with those elegant and luxurious foods, the food that touches people's hearts will always be the food of the local residents."

"I'm not sure..." Raitlin hesitated a little, but Alan Baier said. "Go to the kitchen, I'll take the guests to visit, go quickly, it's time for the banquet soon, there is not much time to prepare, fire up the saucepan, and make as many things as possible!"

Kid Leitlin was hurriedly stuffed into the kitchen, looking at this world full of pots and pans but not the same, he didn't get impatient, but calmly started cooking.

When the sound of cutting, cooking, and boiling appeared like a symphony, Alan Baier put on his formal attire and prepared to take the three who had just dropped off from the strike cruiser to visit their new home...

At the star port on the top, when the space fighters fell from the transport ship, the company commander, the training company commander and the master chief made a very high evaluation of this dark age fortress, whether it is its high walls that are difficult to attack or those amazing and terrifying orbital weapons , At the same time, the busy cargo ships and many containers on the star port also surprised the Doom Eagles who often deviated from the civilized world of the empire.

Eagles don't like crowds, but as fighters, they also agree that it is necessary to protect this place. Whether it is for the empire or this star sector, Skadi is now an interesting center and a necessary fortress.

And the three fully armed space warriors even wore helmets when they landed. They were used to the state of war, as if the armor was their skin and dresses, and such things were seen by most of the businessmen passing by Skadi, most of them were People in other worlds subconsciously regarded that behavior as impolite, but they didn't show disgust because they were facing angels.

"What do you think, Brother Kailos." The commander of the 4th company, the captain, a strong man beyond the imagination of ordinary people asked silently on the internal radio, and Kailos, the commander of the [-]th company, a soldier who had experienced many battles but became an instructor due to wounds replied.

"They hate us. It can be seen that those vague malice..." They are the most powerful children of the Emperor, and Skadi's first trace of malice has crawled into his ears. This kind of inhuman perception is also the most The reason why space marines don't like mortals.

"However, I don't think the former Sun Lord will do the same. His military exploits and honors are quite respectable."

Even the servants they approve will feel timid towards those veterans, that feeling is extremely bad, if the closest person treats you like this, then apart from those brothers, what else can they rely on?

"I don't deny it, but I don't think it's good, those mortal eyes..." The Fourth Company Commander commented in disgust, and the Master Chief immediately shouted. "But we didn't come here for them. The brothers have been persecuted for too long, and they have no patience and energy. If Skadi is not given a chance now, the consequences may be bad."

Kailos also spoke. "Yes, brother, let's take a look first. Even if this place is not suitable, it must be classified as one of the strategic protection goals. The commercial roads and the ability to hinder the enemy here are very strong."

The company commander was silent. The huge bodies of the three of them stepped here and kept moving forward. Soon those mercenary guys were replaced by local Skadi soldiers. Skyhawk saluted, and escorted it to approach the planetary governor.

The fourth company commander raised his head subconsciously, and changed his previous opinion a lot. At least the soldiers of the Sun Lord were really good. When they followed the guards and escorted them to Alan Baier, the young man seemed to hold his head high. The young people made them hesitate a bit.

And this is a meeting room too small for a Space Marine, as Alan Byer greeted the Master Chief, saying. "Two space warrior captains, thank you for coming to my planet, this ancient and young world, it is not only a treasure that has continued from the dark age of technology to the present, but also a newborn that has just crawled out of war."

Those interstellar warriors, neither humble nor overbearing, saluted their chests, and answered naturally when facing the Sun Lord prepared by the former high lord, and the fourth company commander also liked Alan Byer's character like a veteran, so he opened his mouth. "I've heard it a long time ago, but it seems that the reputation is well-deserved. I can feel that you can drop a lot of things, but I still don't understand why Skadi needs us."

"To be precise, letting the Astartes settle in will destroy the sovereignty of a world. Most planetary governors would not want the monastery to suddenly fall on their heads and let a group of supermen come to them."

"What are you planning? Or, what enemy do you need us to resist?"

Captain Destroyer Eagle said it right. Space warriors are power and lethal. For most planetary governors in this era, space warriors represent the failure of their absolute domination of force over their worlds. Those proud pdfs will become Not worth mentioning, his kingship would also be in jeopardy.

Alan Baier smiled. "You think right, but Skadi and Star Warrior are not superiors and subordinates, nor are they strong or weak. We are equal. Therefore, I think Star Warrior can help this newly developed world as a combat force."

"The premise of cooperation is always lion to lion, not sheep and wolf."

The company commander replied. "Interesting, you think you're a lion?
Alan Baier nodded. "I know that the Imperial Guard may be more like a pack of wolves, so you doubt our strength. There is nothing wrong with that, though."

"However, you may be mistaken. It's not that I need space fighters, but you need Skadi."

"You..." The company commander hesitated a bit, but still asked. "Why do you say that?" He stood up, wanting to subconsciously oppress other mortals to fight against him, but Alan Bayer continued his actions without any problem, even slightly higher than this warrior in terms of momentum...

He stretched out his hand easily. "Let's go visit first, it's already late."

The fourth company commander sarcastically satirized in his communicator. "mortal…

Kairos said. "I think this one is very interesting. At least in many cases, mortal recruits can't face us so calmly, can't they? To be precise, even white shields, or even grenadiers, can't."

"But he's a veteran." The fourth company commander retorted, and the Master Chief replied. "But you just denied his success. Since you think mortals are like this, it doesn't matter whether he is a soldier or not."

The fourth company commander fell silent. He has always distrusted those mortals. Even this time, if the brothers hadn’t spoken up, he wouldn’t have wanted to come here. In his many war experiences, mortals can only fight, clean up the remnants, fill the front line, and their abilities are weak. …

"You haven't seen the Skadi people on the battlefield." Finally, the Master Chief's words interrupted his thoughts.

The fourth company commander's elbows turned outward facing his own people, which can only be attributed to their fear of the high lord status of the former Sun Lord, but when Alan Bayer led them into the monastery left by heresy, the filthiness of the past changed. , the statue of the emperor and many sacred words, the stained glass casts blessings through the light of the stars, and the huge long table is placed in the hall.

"This is really..." Kairos swallowed, he liked the layout here very much, and the source of the idea for the renovation here was Mr. Hagrid, even the Fourth Company Commander, who had always disliked mortals, spoke up.

"My God, the Emperor! This is simply not something that mortals can do. Did you imprison an ancestor of a warband?" He was surprised, and even doubted, and the ancestor, in most cases, refers to the dreadnought Armor represents veterans of considerable age, even older than the Terminator veterans of the first company.

The Master Chief just nodded in surprise, and then commented. "You are still so good at causing miracles, Sun Lord."

Alan Baier replied. "I'm not the Sun Lord anymore, sit down." And then naturally took the main seat, although those space warriors are still dissatisfied with mortals sitting on the main seat, they can only arrange it like this, especially the mahogany chair of Alan Bayer's trumpet at this moment It seemed comical under the huge seats of other Space Marines, but at this moment in the main seat.

As if to speak of the sad state of the Space Marines in the Imperium today, ruled by mortals...

They took off their helmets, revealing their scarred cheeks that had devoted themselves to the empire. At this moment, even the Master Chief didn’t look forward to food. They only hoped to have time to explore this ancient and interesting fortress monastery, but they didn’t agree. Alan Baier, I just think it's not bad here.

Until the dining car was pushed, a strong aroma made those space warriors who hadn't tasted human food for a long time suddenly move their index fingers, and the fourth company commander wiped his nose. "What is this, is it a wizard? This feeling reminds me of my excitement when I faced that filthy traitor, like changing something."

"That's right, brother, the taste is disturbing. I remember this taste is called, spicy?" Kailos commented uncertainly.

They were born in Phantom Peak, and there was no seasoning and enjoyment in that world, so those soldiers felt confused. When the bright red pie was brought, the special food quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers. When the fourth company commander subconsciously Stretching out his hand, the crispy dough and the hot and spicy sauce inside instantly reminded him of the touch of eating food for the first time when he was exhausted at the end of recruit training.

Swallowing very quickly, his cheeks flushed a lot, and then he chewed. As a space soldier, he would not lose his composure because of chili like an imperial noble, but he quickly noticed that the sweet and soft fillings were soft and soft like different meat fillings. and tangy.

"Soy products?" He ate the whole pie and asked in doubt.

Alan Baier replied. "Tofu, it's... Well, the food I found during my military service is very old, and it can be said to taste like ancient Terra."

Kailos pointed to the other dishes in front of him and asked, and he cut open the completely grilled golden-red whole chicken in satisfaction. "It's not saffron, and it doesn't have honey. What is it? What did you add? How can it be so bright, but it doesn't taste sweet or weird."

"This is the secret. The use of sauces is the basis of Skadi cuisine. Compared with this, taste the beer here, which is locally brewed." Alan Baier poured the cold beer into the glass, the bubbles were pleasing to the eye, and even Chang dubiously drank it, and let out a mouthful of hot air comfortably.

"I almost forgot that it's winter here. It's unbelievable. How long has it been since I felt food..." He was a little uncertain, but he also realized that most of the food given to people in the empire was only enough to fill their stomachs, but what the nobles ate was It is full of all kinds of spices and industrial synthetic products that exceed the normal level. Those things are a devastating blow to the sensitive taste of superhumans. Compared with those things, they prefer protein iron powder or nutrient solution.

The next meat dish, the soft stewed steak, melted in the mouth and the special aroma completely captured the tired hearts of those soldiers. When the banquet was over, even the toughest fourth company commander of the interstellar warriors had to stretch out their hands.

There was still vegetable oil on the armor, but he couldn't wait to say. "Dear Lord Skadi, we can join Skadi!" But I want to know Mr. Chef here!And invited him to cook for the entire fourth company of Destroying Eagles!
