Devil on the tip of the tongue

In the early morning of the next day, before the scorching sun rose, the army set off.

There is no grand expedition ceremony like that during the war in the human world, and there is no such thing as offering sacrifices to the gods to pray for blessings. The simple and rude monsters firmly believe that the dark god will definitely stand on the stronger side without principle.

Obviously, they belong to the powerful side.

In contrast, Tianyin City on the opposite side is a coward who has no strength and always likes to talk. The purpose of their trip is to kill the gang of cowards, and then take down Tianyin City to serve as the king and queen. wedding present!

#Is it really okay to go out like this? #

During the break, when she saw a group of soldiers laughing and catching a lot of prey and came back to give the soldiers a tooth sacrifice, Queen Ji's monsters were not feeling well.

The proud soldier must be defeated!

"Don't worry! With the King here, the King will definitely kill those bastards!" Ming Xiao comforted Ji Heng confidently.

Ever since he discovered his political talent (?), Ming Xiao has been conscripted to be the key training object of the second echelon of the palace staff, which is what people often call reserve cadres.There is no danger in this expedition, so the palace staff decided to bring these reserve cadres out to see and see, referred to as internships.

Ming Mama resisted not arranging bodyguard monsters for her son (I have never seen a practice with bodyguards ←by Ming's father who insisted on letting his son get exercise), but Ming Xiao finally resigned to his fate amidst Ming Mama's worried sigh. Putting on the specially-made soft armor, at this moment, Young Master Ming was sent by the king, and was ordered to accompany the driver—to chat with the queen.

When the army goes out, it is inevitable to meet some local lords and lords along the way. However, before he is sure whether these lords and lords have ulterior motives, the Demon King will never let Ji Heng accompany him on the adventure. Therefore, Ji Heng could only wait boredly for the Demon King in the monster car. Fortunately, Ming Xiao also came on a business trip this time, and the two greedy monsters were chatting, and for some reason they got to talk about the special products here.

Halfway through the march, they had crossed the desert area and came to a strange small city, which looked much barren than Sunset City, and the monsters on the street were not well dressed, most of them were made of monster fur The rough cloaks don't have exquisite tattoos on the outside, and some have rough patches. Only a few monsters with good strength wear them decently, but they are not the luxurious ones.

"Heng, I heard that there is a kind of magic beans here that tastes good, why don't we ask them to buy some and let us have a taste?" The biggest disadvantage of going out with the army is that there is no gossip to listen to. If you want to know it, those gangs only know it all day long. How can there be any source of gossip for the monster soldiers who train to kill demons?Ming Xiao was so bored that he wanted to say that he didn't want to be a reserve cadre anymore, he loved whoever he loved, and he still preferred to hang out with those gossip monsters in the cafeteria!

It's a pity that they have already come out, and Ming Xiao believes that if he dares to go back like this, his father may not even give him the living expenses of [-] magic coins a month. He definitely won't bend his waist, but with [-] magic coins... he thinks he can bend his waist to ninety degrees!Please let me go o(╥﹏╥)o

Probably because the pocket money was deducted by his father, Master Ming decisively came to find his queen friend for snacks. The special food provided by the queen was bought by the monsters in the palace, so he didn't need to spend money haha!

"Magic beans?"

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment, this subordinate will order someone to buy some back." Gan Nan was in charge of taking care of the Queen's life during the march, and was worried that the Queen would be too boring waiting here, so he silently thought something would happen. Master Mingxiao clicked 32 likes. Inspired by this, Gan Nan hurriedly asked the accompanying monsters to go to the city to buy a batch of local delicacies and bring them back. Novelty things are always good things to pass the time. When I came back last time and saw the queen having fun, they still have rewards.

The king loves and loves the queen. There are probably no monsters in Sunset City who don’t know about it. Only their queen, who is probably still young, doesn’t respond to their king’s deep love at all... She is so anxious to death !

Soon, the monsters who went out to buy came back.

I have to say that sometimes the tribute thing is really cheating. The things sent to the devil king are all kinds of expensive and high-end ones. They only pick the expensive ones and not the right ones. Local products like magic beans are eaten by low-level monsters. It will not be sent up as a tribute at all.

This magic bean looks a bit like a kind of green bean that Ji Heng loved to eat when he was a child. The pod is about as long as an adult's palm and about three fingers wide. From the appearance, it looks more like the long sword bean they planted in their kindergarten before. After peeling it off, there is a row of about 8-12 magic beans inside, which are as colorful as Skittles.

"How do you eat this?" Ji Heng likes to eat beans very much, but he has never eaten this kind of colored beans. The cautiousness of little monsters makes him naturally wary of any unfamiliar ingredients.

Qian Nan glanced at the monster in charge of purchasing, and the meaning in his eyes was very simple: you can explain what you bought!

"Queen, this magic bean... Originally, it was a kind of monster raised by a local monster. Later, a monster accidentally mixed the magic bean into the food. After cooking, it was very sweet and soft, and it was even more delicious than rice. The yield of this kind of magic bean is very high. Just dig a hole and throw two seeds into it. After a few months, a large canopy of magic bean seedlings will grow out. The pods are large and there are many beans. Now many local low-level monsters can plant them. Sometimes this kind of magic beans can't catch the prey, so they use magic beans to satisfy their hunger."

"Then let's try to make a magic bean stewed rice?" Ji Heng thought for a while, "Let's peel the magic beans first, and you go find the cook, and I will tell him how to make the stewed rice."

After a while, the cook monsters who accompanied the army ran over. The queen was kind and rarely made things difficult for the monsters they served. It was rare that the queen called them to do something, and a group of cook monsters immediately fought. The most powerful Won the honor of meeting the queen.

"What's wrong with you? Let's rest for a while before we talk." Seeing that the monster's clothes were a little disheveled and his hair was loose, Ji Heng hurriedly asked the monster beside him to move a stool for him to sit down and catch his breath.

"Thank you, thank you Your Highness!"

"Drink your saliva first, it's my fault that I didn't let them make it clear, don't worry, it's not a big deal, but I want to try to make some new foods for the king to taste, please come and ask, if some things can be used You can do it." Ji Heng said while showing the magic bean to the cook.

"This..." The cook was also a little confused. In fact, as the monsters serving the king, the ingredients they usually use are tributes from all over the world. Shanghe Queen's food, such as magic beans, which are cheap ingredients used to feed monsters, don't say they can't catch their eyes, and don't even think about entering the gate of the palace. The monsters raised in the palace won't be fed this kind of food. .

"Don't worry, this one is not poisonous, so let me say, remember, do it as I said first and try it." Ji Heng didn't make things difficult for him, and directly ordered, "Peel these magic beans out Set it aside, then take some raw rice, wash it, add an appropriate amount of thorn tree oil, coarse salt, magic grass and monster meat, stir it with magic beans, and then steam it over water."

"Pick out some tender bean pods, don't peel them off. After washing them, use scissors to cut off the front and back. I remember you guys made some marinade before, right? Lighten up those marinade and put them together with the magic bean pods Cook it and soak it for about two hours, then make it into a cold dish."

"By the way, I will pick out some old beans and stew them together with the monster meat. Don't stew too much. Try making a small pot first to see the taste."

"For the time being, don't tell the king, try to make it first, and if it tastes good, then present it to the king." Ji Heng is now learning to manage palace affairs with the old monster Shuanghan, and also knows some rules, for example, the king If you eat something you shouldn't eat and eat something bad, all the monsters in the dining room will suffer. This is the main reason why these cooks usually cook with such fixed ingredients. Most people in the officialdom are familiar with this. The routine, "I would rather not do it than make a mistake", Secretary Dakang hates this the most.

It was also in consideration of this point that Ji Heng did not make things difficult for these cooks, but only asked them to try to make some sample dishes first, and then he would present them to the king after he had eaten them himself. If something goes wrong with the food, that is also his responsibility, and these cooks will not be unlucky.

"His Royal Highness is so merciful!" The monster's eyes were red on the way back, and when he fought back to the dining room, the whole monster was crying tears.

"What's the matter with you?" The other cook monsters were startled and surrounded them one after another.

Then, after listening to the monster sobbing and talking about the Queen's considerate care for them cooks, the other monsters couldn't help but get red-eyed.

In fact, compared with their predecessors, the days of their dining room monsters are already pretty good. The king has no special requirements for food, and the whole palace has no concubine or other female relatives. They just need to concentrate on serving the king. Magic will do.However, even so, every day when preparing meals, they were trembling, for fear that the king and queen would suffer if they ate something they shouldn't eat.Perhaps the kindness of the king will not do anything to them, but the person in charge will not let them go so easily.

"Her Royal Highness is really a kind and good monster!" The cook monsters sighed.

"Okay, hurry up and prepare meals and try some new dishes." The monster in charge was also a little moved, but the more the queen was considerate of them, the more he felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. This is a very dedicated monster. coming.

Although Ji Heng has made it clear that he will take on the responsibility of tasting food, but even if he gives ten heads to the dining room steward, he dare not really let His Royal Highness the queen try it himself, so they decided to follow the usual practice. According to the rules, the new dishes they make should be tasted by themselves first, and they will not present them to Her Royal Highness for "tasting" until they are sure that there are no problems with the ingredients and taste.
