[comprehensive] dear king

Even under Gilgamesh's rule, when girls get together, they will talk about something that makes them feel somewhat relieved, such as——

The king who never spoiled the same woman twice, tossed the new girl until midnight last night.

"I can hear the child screaming outside." A female slave said to the people around her while rubbing her clothes. They would come to the river to wash the dirty clothes in the palace every day. At this time, they stayed away from Gilga Mesh, away from the almost breathless atmosphere brought about by the tyranny of the king.

"It's so pitiful." Another female slave said, "When I went to clean the bathroom today, I saw her limping out while leaning on the wall. She looks really cute, but unfortunately Wang——"

"Hush." ​​The third person hastily stopped their chatter, "I'm dying?" They talked about the king's tyranny in private, what if others heard it and went to report it?

That child must have been tortured badly by Wang last night.

Xiangori was half lying on the bed, drenched in cold sweat, little by little applied the medicine Lixin gave her to the injured area, then put on her skirt, and fell down on the bed again.

Li Xin wasn't here, she went to deal with other things, only Xun Er was left lying in the room panting with difficulty, she was drunk again.The purity of Gilgamesh's magic power was too high, and she would easily get drunk. She panted on the bed for a while, and finally got the strength to get up, and her head was no longer dizzy.

"The annual flooding period is coming. Haven't the city walls been strengthened?" Gilgamesh sat on the throne and looked at the minister in charge of water conservancy. Not enough, the fired mud bricks cannot keep up with the requirements of the construction period.”

"Then recruit some more manpower and let those young men who have reached their full age go to build the city wall." Gilgamesh dropped the clay tablet in his hand, "Does this king still need to ask about such a simple matter?" He was very tight about the construction period. There were not enough slaves, and the young men were all driven to work on the construction site, leaving the brides alone to guard the vacant house.

The king's extravagance is well known. He requires the most majestic city walls, just like asking his chefs to serve the same food every day. The palace treasury stores tributes from all over the world, gems, gold, fabrics, and all kinds of food. Various weapons with special abilities.

After receiving clay tablets from the astrological priest and letters from Ur one after another, Gilgamesh finally became impatient. He looked at the documents in his hand, "It's almost as I expected, so there's no need to read it. He casually threw the letter from Ur to Lixin who was accompanying him, "You prepare the banquet and tell the chefs not to bring out heavy dishes."

This is simply a very excessive request, because there are only a few cooking methods and kitchen utensils in this era, and the head chef spends every day trying his best to find ways to satisfy Wang's insatiable desire. The things that come down will be rewarded to the guards and subordinates who are near.

Even the head chef, Ninua, suffered from a strange disease. As soon as Gilgamesh was about to eat, he began to have stomach pains.

Lixin couldn't refute him, so she had to answer "yes" respectfully. When she was about to raise her head to leave, she heard Gilgamesh say again, "Take the girl you brought with me along with you." , teach her how to do it in the palace." He rubbed his temples and remembered what happened last night.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help licking his lips.

Li Xin shuddered and retreated.

When she returned to the room, she saw that Kaori was studying the earthen pot, and when Lixin came back, she showed a childish smile, "Welcome back."

"Clean up and come with me." Li Xin stroked her hair.

"Where are you going?" Kaori blinked.

"Kitchen, the king asked me to prepare the banquet for the envoys of Ur." At this point, she shook her head first, "The ingredients that the palace pays tribute every day are the freshest, but the king is very picky," she was the only one in the whole palace who dared Saying this, "Ninua is required to offer him different kinds of food every day. When I knew him, he was a young man with beautiful hair, but now he has to shave his head to cover up his baldness."

...that sounds really pathetic.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Kaori asked.

"I'm going to teach you how to organize a banquet."

Originally, these tasks were supposed to be handed over to the queen, but Gilgamesh didn't even have a concubine with a certain status, let alone a queen. This task naturally fell on Lixin. Things are very familiar and careful, but even Li Xin needs a little assistant to help her with these chores.

Wang probably thought so, that's why he let him take her with him.

But Xiangori sat on the bed without moving, and when Lixin asked with a strange face, she blushed and replied, "I, I can't stand up." She didn't need to speak too clearly, Lixin once Just listen and understand.

"Then, then you can walk slowly."

The content of this conversation was so embarrassing for a decent woman that Li Xin was too embarrassed to ask her if she had taken any medicine.

After a long while, Kaori and Lixin came to the kitchen together, but Ninua seemed to have learned the king's order from others, and was sitting on a pile of straw that had been bundled up and used as firewood, hugging her. With his shiny bald head, he has served the king for many years, and he has tried every dish he can think of, and he is about to be drained of all inspiration by this picky master.

If he doesn't ask for the taste, maybe he can be fooled or turned off for a while, but this owner has a more picky tongue than a cat, and he doesn't eat Dedmont onions, and he doesn't eat anything spicy.

"Thank you." Li Xin reached out and patted him on the shoulder. The latter raised his head, then lowered his head in frustration, "Maybe I should take in an apprentice, take in an apprentice, so that someone can help me share the burden." Take a moment." He said almost complaining, and then noticed a little girl behind Li Xin, he looked carefully for a while, "This is... that new girl?"

Kaori froze for a moment, "What?"

Li Xin nodded, "I'll check the ingredients, and then you decide what to do."

"No, I'm old." Ninua sat on the bale of straw in frustration, "I often shake my hands recently, and I can't help but miss the time when the noble Lugarbanda still ruled this country... ..." At that time, Lugalbanda, the benevolent king of gods and men, was by no means as arrogant and cruel as his son, and he always had an endless stream of extravagant and bad ideas.

"What are you talking about, don't let people who can't do things in the palace, the king will punish you." Li Xin became cold and calm at this time, "Stand up quickly, and go with me to prepare the ingredients for the banquet. There is a menu for the king to review."

"I still have to think about what he's going to eat tonight." The king's appetite is not big, and he will give it to others as a reward after he can't eat a few bites, which makes Ninua's stomach hurt even more.

"If you don't mind." Xiangori raised her hand weakly from behind, "You and Li Xin go to check the ingredients for the banquet, can Wang give me the dinner tonight?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Xin wanted to step forward and knock her.

But Ninua was very happy, "Yes, little girl." It would be good to tell him to stop thinking about it. He had heard the female slaves gossip before, saying that the king who never favored the same person twice unexpectedly made an exception and favored the newcomer. The second time, this is a very strange thing, and people can't help but feel that the king should dote on this girl very much.

Naturally, she would also think that she must be a stunning little beauty—only after seeing the real person did she realize that the little beauty is naturally a little beauty, but she is still a little far away from the stunning beauty. This child has a pleasing face, look It looks pure and sweet.

People can't help but want to be nice to her.

Kaori nodded, and shook her head at Li Xin who looked worried, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing."

For a moment, Lixin almost thought that she was planning to poison Gilgamesh to kill the people.

Ninua wrote the precautions on the clay board, left it to Xiangori, and then followed Lixin, but the other slaves and cooks who worked in the kitchen did not dare to approach the stove where Xiangori was, because they were afraid that the little girl would What he made angered the king and implicated them.

To be honest, Xiangori is full of anger towards Gilgamesh now, if there is chili pepper in this place, she is going to make him super spicy mapo tofu and teach him about his cat tongue.

But there are no peppers here, and Gilgamesh doesn't even eat onions.

Ninuah's clay tablets recorded a large number of recipes, all of which were eaten by Gilgamesh before, and he would not eat them a second time.

The dish must be served on a gold plate, and the shape of the dish must not be messy, but must be beautiful enough.

...It's really too picky, Kaori can swear that he is definitely the most picky guy I've ever seen.

She turned her head to look at the casserole, spices and ingredients on the side, and took a deep breath.

Then, make stews and porridge.

When it was dinner time, Gilgamesh looked at the onion stew and vegetable porridge being brought up, and thought that he might need to drag the idiot who was cooking it out and beat him up.

But as far as the cooking technique is concerned, it is indeed a "not repeated" dish.

It's so clever.

Moreover, daring to give him onions is too daring.

Even if you think about it with your feet, you should know that it is not something Ninua dares to do.

He turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on Kaori who kept stirring his skirt, "You made it? A doll?"

"I have a name." Kaori choked.

"Hmph, who cares about that," the scent wafted into his nostrils, and he looked down at the soft stewed beef and onions, "Didn't Ninua tell you that my king doesn't eat onions?"

"I said it." Kaori replied without fear of the dangerous element in his tone.

"Then you deliberately gave me this kind of food?"

"Because it's not good to be a picky eater." Baby Gilgamesh doesn't eat onions, do you want to laugh at me to death?Kaori complained inwardly.

"...Well——" Wang showed a disgusted expression, why did he feel that he would lose if he didn't eat it.

He picked up a spoon on one side, scooped up a spoonful of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. It was different from the roasted one. The stew was delicious, the aroma of the beef lingered in the mouth, and the softness and stimulation brought by the onion side dish, the taste was natural It is quite tasty.

After taking a sip of porridge, the fragrant vegetables just relieved the greasy taste brought by onions.

Gilgamesh looked at the two dishes with a bit of confusion, just enough for him to eat, but after eating, he felt as if he had been defeated by this little girl.

Wang's is full of pride in weird places.

Then for the first time in my life, I struggled to eat or not to eat.

Kaori gave him a sideways look, and secretly made a face at him at a stall he couldn't see.

Get entangled, you silly cat who doesn't fit in.
