The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 377 Jiang Taigong Fishing

"You've been spending a lot of time outside in the grassland, and I haven't really treated you to a meal yet. This time I'm going to treat you and let you taste the roasted whole beef from our grassland!!"

Although the overall shape of centaurs is similar to that of horses, their food is mostly from the countless animals and livestock on the grassland. On the contrary, fresh fruits and vegetables are very scarce on the grassland.

"Okay."

Allen had a polite smile on his face. He didn't know the purpose of Ahmed, the centaur general, in inviting him tonight, but he was a legend after all, and he had one of the three major royal families of the prairie as his backer. In the past, Allen wanted to get close to the other party, but he hadn't had a chance yet. Now that the other party took the initiative to win over him, Allen had no reason to refuse regardless of circumstances.

With Allen's promotion, the people and classes he will come into contact with in the future will inevitably be different. This is an indisputable fact. Just like he is now on the grassland. Although he is only a bare commander, his status and power are already different from those when he was working hard on the grassland. Those few years.

Ahmad's felt tent was not far away from Allen's felt tent. While the two were chatting, they could already see the earthy gray ceiling of the felt tent.

After opening the mosquito curtain of the felt net, there was actually a centaur lying on his side on a carpet. When he saw Allen and Ahmed coming in, he stood up slowly and came over with a smile.

"Let me guess, this must be the leader of the Alan Witt clan. I didn't expect that he is so young. It makes me feel like I have lived in a horse's belly these past few decades!"

The person who came here was quite old, with a goatee beard on his chin that was a little pale. He looked weathered, but he was somewhat graceful and noble, which was very similar to the aura that Ahmed exuded from time to time.

Allen's eyes were magnanimous. Although he didn't know who this stranger was, he seemed to be someone who had a close relationship with him because he was so casual in Ahmad's felt tent.

"Hello."

"Alan, this is Metaru, the Minister of Commerce of Dayan Khan's Royal Court. He just came from the Royal Court of Derige to inspect our position with the logistics team."

Seeing that his old friend was so casual and didn't even give him time to introduce himself, he just took the initiative to get together. Apart from giving the other party a cold eye roll, Ahmed could only raise his hand to introduce to Allen. Get up the centaur in front of you.

"Tsk, tsk, I traveled thousands of miles to visit you, and you're not grateful, so forget it, but you still show off to me, I'm really angry!!"

The middle-aged centaur minister named Metaru, when faced with Ahmed's rolling eyes, he immediately turned back. It was obvious that the relationship between the two of them was indeed good.

After knowing the identity of the other party, Allen's eyes flickered, and then dimmed again, but his face was a bit more solemn about this dinner.

Metaru is a person who is very good at chatting. After introducing each other, he sat opposite Allen and chatted. While the three of them were chatting, the smell of barbecue came from outside the tent. It was the dinner that Ahmed had ordered the people below to prepare for them.

"Clan Chief Allen's Green Field Tribe, I heard that it is in the far north of the wilderness, and is already close to the Tagan Desert?"

Ever since Allen advanced and showed his face in front of many powerful people, the position of his Green Field tribe has gradually emerged in the eyes of many interested people in the wilderness. Before, when he finally obtained the recommendation document and revealed the name of the Green Field Tribe to the world, except for a few large tribes near the Green Field Plain in the north, the other tribes did not have much thought to deal with an informal member tribe. .

But when a legend appeared in the Green Field tribe, the situation was different.

Generally speaking, the maximum population of an informal tribe in Mansha City is no more than ten thousand. If there are any more, this tribe will become fat in the eyes of other large surrounding tribes, and it is time to carve it up. As for the informal tribe with a legendary strongman sitting at the helm, they at least have the ability to establish a foothold in the surrounding area and make other large tribes fearful. The legend is like a nuclear warhead, and it is not a level that can only rely on quantity to win.

"Yes, our tribe's territory is only a few hundred miles away from the Tagan Desert. Due to its influence, the environment of the Green Field Plain is not as fertile as the grassland."

Allen nodded slightly and did not deny it. From the time he decided to hang the name of the tribe in Mansha City, he knew that the existence of the tribe would one day be noticed.

"Well, don't you know what good things are produced there?"

A whole golden roasted cow was brought into the felt tent, and it immediately filled the wide space of the felt tent and dispersed towards the skylight at the top of the felt tent. Metaru used a dagger to easily cut off a piece of fine meat from the huge cow leg and put it on the plate. He greeted Allen in a friendly manner, but did not listen to his interest in the Green Field Tribe.

"What good things can there be in that shabby place? It doesn't even have a valuable industry. Don't worry about the jokes of the two of you. Until now, our tribe's external economic income still relies on the children of the tribe to go out to work to make money!"

Allen shook his head and said with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Hahaha, Patriarch Allen is so humble. I saw that you used to run a small barbecue stall outside the military camp. It was a good business!!"

"I heard that your barbecue meat can also help improve your strength. That's really amazing!!"

With envy in his eyes, Metaru took a piece of beef, took a big bite of it, and chewed it in his mouth.

On the other side, Ahmed became somewhat interested when he heard this, and interjected: "This is true."

"I've had people carefully count them. Among the wilderness warriors who ate Allen's barbecue, almost one-tenth or more have improved by one level."

"is not it?"

When Metaru heard Ahmed's verification, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Chief Allen, you have such good things, no wonder you can earn so much supplies!"

"I just don't know if it's possible to sell this formula to outsiders?"

After some chatting, Allen finally heard the main topic and felt a little solemn in his heart, but there was no anger on his face at all.

"The recipe of this dish is actually not a big secret. As long as someone spends some energy and time, they can finally figure it out."

When Allen took out this 'blood and fire' dish as a means of making money, Allen had already thought about the possibility of such a situation, but he did not expect that people with ulterior motives would come so quickly.

Of course, Allen is also confident that even if others roughly know the main ingredients of his formula, it will be impossible to truly research it without a few years of effort. Moreover, without skilled cooking skills, even if the other party comes up with a rough recipe, the effect will definitely not be as good as what they have now.

When running a barbecue stall, Allen still retained some skills. For example, in the materials for developing meat, various spices are just to make the food taste better, but what really stimulates the energy of the abyss's flesh and blood, rather than producing incredible effects, Or some of the condiments ground from the magic potion.

Moreover, when grilling, Allen found that every time the timing of grilling, the addition of ingredients, etc. were slightly different, the effect would be completely different.

This is actually similar to potion refining and alchemy. The difference may only be in the effect and technique, which is a little more vulgar. After all, using cooking skills to achieve alchemical effects is considered a pioneer in Feynman's world. or.

"is it?"

After Metaru's energy flashed, he raised the jug beside him more enthusiastically and helped Allen pour the drink.

"Come, come, Chief Allen, try the kumiss on our grassland, the taste is absolutely unparalleled!!"

"... I wonder if Patriarch Allen can pass on the recipe for this dish to our Royal Court of Dayan Khan?"

"Of course, we will never let Chief Ang Ailun suffer. If Chief Allen needs anything, just ask him directly!! Although my Dayan Khan Court has been plagued by war in the past few years, I still have something in my hands. There are some good things that can help Patriarch Allen."

When he said this, Metaru's eyes kept drifting towards Allen, and there was still a bit of frivolity in his eyes.

Allen is now a legend, and the items he wears are indeed a bit shabby, at least not enough to match his status. The one-shoulder armor full of battle traces, the leather lining has been turned over, and the bone-cutting sword that looks heavy, but has a slightly rough and standard style, no matter how you look at it, It's not what it was just a few seconds ago.

As the Minister of Commerce, Metaru's eyesight is naturally good, so he just glanced at Allen casually a few times before, and he had already roughly guessed the value of Allen's clothes. The only thing that caught his eye was maybe It's the pair of dark gold arm guards with complicated carvings between Allen's arms.

Therefore, when making this suggestion, Metaru was still a little confident, guessing that Allen would be interested.

Although the barbecue made from the flesh and blood of devils is not as powerful as the 'blood and fire' made by Allen, it is better in that it is relatively simple to make and the materials are not so difficult to collect. In the military camp of tens of thousands of troops, the chance of a breakthrough was not originally very high, but because of the large number of soldiers in the army, people who were interested took it seriously.

Among them, Ahmad, as the military commander and a key member of the Dayan Khan tribe, has a broad vision and naturally will not miss such an important thing.

Then, the Minister of Commerce Metaru arrived.

"Well..." The embarrassment in Allen's eyes flashed away. This was a simple barbecue that Allen named 'Alan's Devil's BBQ'. It contained more or less the inspiration of Allen's dishes in 'Alan' over the years. If the direction of research is taught, it may cause the magic dishes to be leaked.

'Alan' cuisine is a name given by Alan himself to the dishes that have auxiliary breakthroughs when distinguishing between potions and alchemy. There will be many similar dishes classified into it in the future. Alan's hope is that someone will use the dishes he developed in the future. What a great thing to be able to know your own name when eating dishes!

"Chief Allen, in fact, in addition to precious equipment, our Dayan Khan Royal Court can also open up strategic materials on the grassland and trade with your tribe."

Ahmad on the side is more familiar with Allen's character than Metaru. He knows that for the Bugbear in front of him, the improvement of individual strength is important, but what can impress the opponent more is the method of making the opponent's tribe stronger.

"Such as war horses, weapons..."

Ahmed's interruption immediately caused Allen to raise his head and glance back and forth at the faces of the two centaurs.

"Of course, this is also conditional. I hope that if Patriarch Allen agrees to give us the formula, he will not leak the formula again."

Seeing Allen's heart move, Ahmed put forward their conditions first with a calm and solemn expression.

The three golden bloodlines of the grassland suffered heavy losses in these successive battles. But if we really want to talk about who suffered greater losses, it would have to be the Dayan Khan tribe.

Who makes the territory of Dayan Khan's court closer to the human kingdom! !

Whether it was the demons that swept over during the demonic chaos in the Kingdom of Spring, or the human coalition suddenly launched an attack on the wilderness, the first ones to encounter each other were always the warriors of the Dayan Khan tribe. Over the years, although the Dayan Khan's court also made countless profits from trade with humans during peacetime, in the end they were all lost in the battles with humans and demons.

Compared to the Dayan Khan Royal Court, the other two brother bloodlines have fared much better. The northernmost Borji Royal Court was the weakest of the three royal bloodlines at the beginning, but now it has become one of the three. The most powerful among the royal family; although the territory of the Royal Court of Charha also borders part of the Rose Principality, that place is really remote and is not the focus of the attack by the allied forces of demons and humans. So far, it is still stable and peaceful.

The severely damaged Royal Court of Dayan Khan must find a way to accumulate strength, otherwise, after the war is over, there will inevitably be another dispute between the three royal courts on the grassland, and the current strength of the Royal Court of Dayan Khan will also encounter the other two. Challenges and Erosion of the Great Court.

Although the Centaur Kingdom has always been advancing and retreating together externally, in fact, the entanglements and conflicts between them have never subsided, but there is still a centaur god Qirong staring above their heads. Therefore, even if everyone takes action, they will not make too much noise, otherwise if the gods intervene, everyone will be doomed.

Now, after discovering that Allen's seemingly simple barbecue actually has the effect of assisting in improving the strength of soldiers, anyone who is not a fool will understand the great significance contained in it.

Too many members of the tribe died in the war, and the new generation of children also need time to grow up. It is not easy to build up strength again!
  However, the appearance of Allen's "Devil's BBQ" gave Dayan Khan's senior leaders another reminder. Since the population and warriors of the clan cannot grow for a while, why not improve the clan's strength in disguise by improving the strength of the existing warriors? What about overall strength?
  Seeing as this bugbear sets up a stall to sell meat all day long, the value of the materials collected is not too expensive, which means that the formula materials developed by the other party must not be too expensive, just in line with the overall use of less than tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people. . If you really want to use expensive materials, then even the wealth of Dayan Khan's court for dozens of generations may not be able to meet such needs.

"Ha ha……"

Allen suddenly made a decision, and a faint cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This is definitely impossible!!"

Others thought that Allen's development of barbecue in the army was just using countless soldiers in the camp as test subjects, but no one could have imagined that this was actually a decision made by Allen after careful consideration.

With Allen's cautious character, he didn't know that a dish like 'Devil' Barbeque, even if the effect is not that outstanding, would definitely cause quite a sensation and influence in the wilderness.

Anyone in power who is full of ambition will definitely be interested in the barbecue recipe Allen is currently making, and then turn their interest into action.

When a person in the wilderness takes a fancy to something, the first way he thinks of is to use force to seize it. However, after Allen has advanced to legend, this method has less room for maneuver. Of course, if the effect of this formula was a few percent stronger, that would be another story.

It is precisely because after Allen advanced to Legend that he made the current choice, using the formula developed at this time as a bargaining chip to close the relationship with other tribes in the wilderness, while seeking more benefits for the tribe, accelerating The tribe develops and grows.

The Green Field Plain is too barren. If you want to develop a tribe there, you need to put in many times more effort than in other places with suitable conditions. Countless tribes already exist in those places where the land is fertile and more suitable for settlement and development, and the surrounding powerful tribes are even more eye-catching, wary of the rise of every tribe in the surrounding area.

Of course, Allen himself was reluctant to leave the Green Field Plain. After all, for the place where they lived at this time, Shitou, A Xiao and other young friends rested here forever. If he gave up, it would not mean that these friends had sacrificed and become useless. Things?

Now that the clan only has long-term cooperation with Aligon, Allen feels even more pressure. The annual expenditure of about 3,000 gold coins has become a heavy burden just because of the closure of the Thornburg Pasta Restaurant, not to mention the need to pay in the future. The clan has purchased inheritance, various knowledge and magic equipment.

This is not counting Allen's own equipment replacement. The contempt that flashed in Centaur Metaru's eyes just now was seen by Allen.

Although the clan has now begun to reopen in Mansha City, it will probably take a long time to return to the thorny state of Thorny Castle. Then, Allen must find other income points outside of this. This is something he has been planning for a long time, but unfortunately he has not made any progress.

Until now, he pretended to be experimenting with his devil's barbecue, but he was actually showing the outside world the unique effect of barbecue in order to attract those big forces and then come to him to discuss cooperation.

Allen knew very well that the Green Field Tribe had never had many bargaining chips, and the output of the plains was nothing but so-called delicacies. Iron ore, copper ore, and coal have always been worthless materials in the wilderness and cannot be exchanged for much money.

So, in the end, Allen still focused on Allen's dishes that he had researched.

"I'm not provocative. If my formula is only given to you, Mr. Metaru, then when envoys from the Borji Royal Court and the Charha Royal Court come to visit, how should I reject them?"

"There are other large tribes in the wilderness that I cannot afford to offend. If they open their mouths, what will I say?"

"Well... you can just blame everything on us!"

Metaru and Ahmed looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. Even they themselves were not confident in the solution they finally gave.

Originally, it would be okay if Allen rejected Metalu and the others. At least everyone would be on the same starting line and neither would suffer. But if Allen made a deal with the Dayan Khan Royal Court and turned around and refused to deal with other forces, this differential treatment attitude would not matter if the Dayan Khan tribe was powerful, but Allen would have to bear the hostility of other forces. , even if the Dayan Khan tribe gives good rewards, it is not worth it.

"Then I think it's better to forget it!"

Allen shook his head and politely refused with a haha.

"Thank you both for your hospitality tonight. Next time I have the opportunity, I will let you two taste the delicious food I made myself."

Now that he had refused, Allen felt that there was no need to continue, so he stood up and left.

"Hey, Chief Allen, it's still early, let's talk again!!"

"Yes, let's talk again. Everything can be discussed."

Ahmad and Metaru were reluctant to give up. Judging from Allen's intentions, he actually wanted to use his own formula, so their hospitality tonight was not in vain. Although there are some surprises, as long as the formula can be obtained, the rest is acceptable.

After the two tried their best to persuade him to stay, Allen finally failed to say goodbye and left. He was invited back to his seat by Ahmad to continue the previous conversation.

In fact, Allen had no intention of leaving in the first place. He had been setting up a barbecue stall in the military camp for more than a month. What Allen really wanted was this scene!

The effectiveness of 'Devil's' barbecue is even worse than the 'Blood and Fire' dishes that Allen gave to his tribe when he was in the village. After all, barbecue does not require too complicated preparation methods. This is why Allen is willing to take it out and use it as a bargaining chip to trade with other forces.

The truly more powerful 'Blood and Fire', as well as new dishes that are further based on this, are all still hidden in Allen's mind, and he will not easily trade them with outsiders. Of course, when the time comes, dishes like 'blood and fire' can't be traded.

However, when the time comes, if you want to learn this recipe, you have to go to Green Lake Village and let Camellia and the others teach you step by step.

Allen was left in the felt tent by Ahmad and the others. This negotiation lasted for most of the night, and finally the negotiation was completely completed.

The final result is that Allen can obtain a hundred pairs of fine stallions from the Ahmad tribe, and at the same time, he can freely purchase a certain number of war horses at the exchange of Dayan Khan's court, but the price of the war horses is not discounted. By the way, members of the Green Field Tribe can open noodle restaurants in the towns of Dayan Khan's Royal Court, and at the same time receive necessary protection from the Royal Court.

There is no way, if the formula cannot be exclusive, Metaru and the others cannot give much in return. After all, it will not be long before other forces can obtain this formula from Allen.

In order not to give the Dayan Khan tribe a chance to play tricks, the ingredients used in the formula to blend and enhance the effects of the food must be provided by Allen for the time being, and the secrets will not be told to the Dayan Khan tribe for a short time. Otherwise, if the Dayan Khan tribe, which had obtained the formula, was the first to trade with other tribes, Allen would suffer great losses.
