Chapter 2124 A Historical Trade
After simmering for more than an hour, the reduced red braised pork was finally done.
After drinking two bottles of liquor, Xi stared at the kitchen, and watched Mag carry a bowl of red braised pork out.
“Your red braised pork.” Mag put down the bowl, and the red braised pork jiggled, looking even more enticing. “Thank you,” Xi said while her gaze was fixed on the red braised pork in front of her. This was the first time in her life that she couldn’t wait for a food item.
The cube-shaped red braised pork was almost exactly the same as in the picture book. However, compared to the flat drawing, the real red braised pork in front of her shimmered slightly with a layer of oil, and the enticing aroma in the air brought along an even stronger impact.
Xi opened her mouth slightly and gulped. She looked exactly like the little mermaid who saw the red braised pork for the first time in the picture book.
Xi looked up, and asked Mag, “Isn’t there supposed to be a bowl of rice too?”
Mag was slightly taken aback. He couldn’t help laughing as he replied, “You’re really stringent.”
In the picture book, the red braised pork was served along with a bowl of rice.
The red braised pork wasn’t a side dish. Even when it was well done, it would still be greasy.
However, together with a bowl of rice, it would be perfect.
Xi wasn’t in a hurry to pick up her chopsticks, because the little mermaid in the picture book ate the dish with rice. It looked much more delicious than eating the red braised pork on its own.
Soon, Mag came out with a bowl of rice. He had cooked it while he was simmering the red braised pork
“Thank you.”
Xi received the bowl and thanked Mag. She picked up the chopsticks, and prepared to tuck in.
“Wait a sec. We have agreed earlier that if you are satisfied with this red braised pork, you will give me a cannon, right?” Mag said to Xi.
Xi looked at Mag and then at the red braised pork in front of her. After a brief hesitation, she nodded.
“Alright, please enjoy.” Mag kept the tray and took two steps back.
Xi picked up a piece of red braised pork with her chopsticks.
This wild boar meat was cut into long cubes, and the thick gravy dyed the wild boar meat a deep red color. The interlaying fat and lean pork was soft and bouncy.
This human’s cutting skill is indeed an astonishing artwork.
Xi looked at the meat that was equally cut at all sides with appreciation. Even the angles were perfect. Then, she fed it into her mouth.
The tender pork melted almost immediately in her mouth. The lean meat was chewy and not dry. The pork skin was soft and sticky. It wasn’t hard to bite down.
She bit softly into the meat, and the sweet and fragrant sauce seeped out from the meat. At this moment, the beauty of the pork was brought out to the fullest. It was fatty but not greasy, and was fragrant and tender.
This taste!
Xi’s eyes widened. It was as if a giant, wild black boar had bumped into her heart, and it galloped around like how her heart was beating
The taste buds were cheering, and her body was trembling due to the excitement. The sensation of joy due to the scrumptiousness was actually that impactful…
“Ah !
She opened her mouth slightly, and could not help but let out a soft moan.
It was too exquisite!
This sensation made her excited, and also made her feel blissful!
However, Xi soon realized her gaffe, and a rare blush appeared on her face. She picked up the bowl in front of her, and ate a mouthful of rice.
The soft rice had a new rice’s fragrance. The rice got even more fragrant after chewing, and the slight greasiness was quickly suppressed by the sweet and fragrant white rice. It was as though it was meant for the red braised pork! She got it!
The picture book was real.
Even she couldn’t resist such delicious red braised pork, let alone the innocent little mermaid.
Additionally, marrying a prince who could make such delicious red braised pork didn’t seem so hard to imagine.
This wasn’t a love-at-first-sight story, but a seduction-by-food story.
Thinking in that manner made the story much more reasonable.
The little mermaid had to be very desperate when she thought of how she couldn’t eat such delicious red braised pork ever again, and how the chef whom she reserved was being stolen from her.
Xi couldn’t help popping another piece of red braised pork into her mouth. She felt the taste blossoming on the tip of her tongue, and she couldn’t hide the arc of her upturned lips.
The bowl of rice was soon finished, but there were still a few pieces of red braised pork, and she hadn’t eaten the gravy that she was craving yet.
Just as Xi was hesitating if she should ask Mag for another bowl of rice, Mag already put a new bowl of rice in front of her and a spoon in the red braised pork’s bowl.
Xi looked up at Mag, and felt good about this human for the first time.
At least in the aspect of food, he was very understanding and considerate.
Mag smiled. If it weren’t for that cannon, he would be sleeping with his wife in a warm bed by now. He wouldn’t be serving her here.
Soon, Xi finished the bowl of rice together with the red braised pork’s gravy.
Burp
Xi covered her mouth and burped.
That feeling of satiation was really so comfortable.
“Thank you for your hospitality. The red braised pork is very delicious,” Xi said to Mag seriously.
“Thank you.” Mag nodded smilingly at Xi.
Xi used a tissue to wipe her mouth before walking to the door. With her usually cold voice, she said, “I’ll leave the cannon at that mountain 160 km north of Rodu. You’d better ship it away by tonight.”
“Thank you.” Mag watched Xi’s figure disappear at the door before saying a sincere thank you again.
After carrying the drunk Irina and the sleeping Amy upstairs, Mag activated the tavern’s spell formation before leaving right away.
The purple-striped griffin landed on the peak of that mountain 160 km north of Rodu. The 100-meter-long cannon was placed vertically at the peak like a pillar supporting the sky.
“How awe-inspiring.” Mag went two rounds around the mountain on Ah Zi’s back before landing on the peak.
And next to this cannon, there were four crates of ammunition. There were a total of 24 artillery shells.
“I guess this should be a miracle in the history of trade, right?” Mag caressed the iron beast that made him shudder. He actually traded for it with a bowl of red braised pork and two bowls of rice.
He hoped the future generations would not label this trade as a scam.
In that ice plain that day, Mag had witnessed the firepower of Xi’s battleship personally.
The firepower of one cannon was already above a 10th-tier magic caster’s might, and the artillery shells left behind by Xi were all cluster warheads. It was the kind of bomb that was more suitable for eliminating targets that were densely packed together.
She’s good and understanding. I’ll treat her to other goodies next time she visits. Mag nodded, feeling very satisfied with Xi.
After keeping the cannon and ammunition with a space magic ring, Mag leaped onto the griffin’s back. He looked toward the north, and hesitated briefly before ordering Ah Zi to fly northwards.
He had already gotten the cannon, so he really should find a base now.
Ending the war beyond the Roth Empire’s borders was the best promise to the civilians.
