Chapter 34: The Arrogant Envoy (Part 2)
Even the ministers present couldn't stomach the beef in front of them, not to mention the taste, whether it was raw or bloody, just this kind of pretentious attitude made by the barbarian envoy was enough to make no one have an appetite.
The envoy, however, seemed to still want to show off. Having just lost a game, he easily won two more in a row, and somehow had to vent the anger in his heart. Being able to thoroughly humiliate the Heavenly Dynasty in front of the Emperor and the courtiers was a rare opportunity!
"This is the delicacy of our tribe, I wonder how it tastes after Your Majesty and the ministers have tried it? Is it to your taste?" The barbarian envoy himself took a bite of the beef on his plate and swallowed it in one gulp, then praised it in a low voice: "Delicious!" Afterwards, he pulled the chef to the middle, knelt down on the ground facing the emperor, and said: "We are humble subjects from a small tribe, we humbly request that Your Majesty condescend to give us your golden opinion, we would be greatly honored!"
The emperor didn't move his lips at all, the extremely thin slice of meat and the four red characters in front of him seemed like a bloody wound. Those few detestable barbarian envoys now looked so piercing to the eyes. But under the grandeur of the public eye, they were following the grand ceremony to pay respects, requesting a few words of evaluation, yet couldn't shirk it off. Could he use being unaccustomed as an excuse to push it away?
Just as they were in a difficult situation, a low and clear voice suddenly came over, ringing clearly in the emperor's ears. "Terrible! The blood hasn't been drained clean, there is still a faint smell of blood, the fresh meat was cut for too long, it has already passed its best time to be savored, although it still tastes slightly fresh when eaten, but it is already an outdated taste. Such things are not worthy of being tasted by Your Majesty, and yet they dare to let Your Majesty taste them, truly absurd! With such poor quality, do you still want His Imperial Majesty's golden approval? I don't dare trouble Your Majesty to speak, I'll give you a review: the flavor is terrible, difficult to swallow!"
Although the voice was not loud, it spread throughout the entire venue. Everyone who heard it couldn't help but feel secretly pleased in their hearts. However, in front of the emperor, they didn't dare to be too carried away and could only look around to see who had spoken such heartfelt words that resonated with everyone.
The emperor felt even more relieved in his heart, this voice was very familiar, it was Qin Yifan who had just presented him with a rare treasure. From afar, except for those few barbarian envoys, it seemed that the only person at the banquet who had eaten a few bites of the meat and given such an evaluation was that guy.
Although Qin Yifan's evaluation was extremely impolite, the chef of the envoy did not refute it, but instead knelt on the ground and honestly admitted: "What you said is absolutely right, it's just that there are too many people at this banquet, and my knife skills are not fast enough, so I can only do it to this extent."
Everyone was greatly surprised to hear him admit his inadequacy. They had thought that Qin Yifan was just talking nonsense, striking a blow at the arrogance of these barbarian tribes, but it turned out that he had hit the nail on the head. Now that even their own chef admitted his inadequacy, what could those barbarian envoys say?
"It's not that I, a humble person, didn't put in my best effort. It's just that I'm only one person and can't possibly attend to so many people dining at the same time." The chef on the ground dare not harbor any thoughts of deceiving the emperor, as this would be a capital offense. He must explain clearly: "However, I also believe that no one in my situation could have done better than me."
"A frog in a well cannot speak of the heavens, and an insect in summer cannot speak of ice. In our heavenly dynasty, there are countless talents, and His Majesty has great abilities and strategies. How many extraordinary people and heroes are there? Is it possible for you, a humble citizen of a small country, to know about them?" After saying this, Qin Yifan said nothing more and fell silent.
The chef on earth may also be clumsy in words, hearing this speech, really doesn't know what to say, can only shut up and admire, nothing to say.
It was just a comment, but it made the carefully crafted scene by several actors go to waste, and they were also severely reprimanded by Qin Yifan, unable to retort. The emperor and his ministers felt extremely relieved in their hearts.
However, the chef didn't say anything else, but Fan Shi was not a simpleton and hastily explained: "Since this nobleman has said so, I would be honored to let us humble people from a small country see it!"
The emperor's gaze turned to Qin Yifan again, and his eyes collided with Qin Yifan's in mid-air. The emperor nodded heavily, and only then did Qin Yifan stand up and walk to the center of the arena: "Take these away, prepare a Qilin bull!"
"I dare not trouble this gentleman, we have already prepared several, you can choose one at will." The answer was still the same barbarian envoy, it seems that this time the idea of several barbarian envoys came out, should be with this vassal state as the main. The other few are looking at this person's face to act.
These barbarian envoys prepared several heads of cattle, thinking that from the beginning they wanted to force the high-ranking officials on the Heavenly Dynasty's side to take action, so that the Heavenly Dynasty would have no excuse. Judging from their preparations, it is estimated that they had long considered the Heavenly Dynasty not to be their opponent and specially prepared more to see the Heavenly Dynasty lose face.
Indeed, the outer courtyard had already prepared several cows, all of which had their hooves tied up. The barbarian envoy looked at Qin Yifan walking slowly and leisurely towards him, although he was unhappy with this young man who had just ruined his plan to present treasures, but he didn't dare show it on his face, only smiling and asking: "I don't know if Mr. needs our butcher's help? If the meat is taken out too slowly, it won't be very fresh, that's what Mr. said." Qin Yifan had no official position, so the barbarian envoy changed his address from "Your Excellency" to "Mr.".
"Not needed!" Qin Yifan coldly rejected his false kindness: "I'll do it myself!"
"Should we prepare the butcher knife for the master?" A handy and suitable tool is necessary, as the saying goes, "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." I believe that at the scene, apart from the butcher knife of that barbarian butcher, there isn't a single knife that's suitable.
Of course, the barbarian envoys were not so kind-hearted. If the mighty Celestial Dynasty couldn't even produce a single slaughter knife on site and had to borrow one from the barbarian butchers, that would be a complete loss of face.
"No need, I have my own knife!" He said, bowing to the Emperor. Before Qin Yifan could say his request to show off his knife in front of the Emperor, the Emperor above had already spoken: "Approved! You may use it as you please."
She gestured to Qin Xiaoling on the other side, and under Long Tong's gaze with eyes as big as a cow's, Qin Xiaoling slowly walked up with Qin Yifan's super kitchen knife. Now, Yin Shi Qin Xiaoling was able to see the commotion in front of her at close range.
"Shall we help the master bring in the yaks? Those yaks are already tied up, but it's not easy to move them!" The interpreter kindly advised.
"Not needed!" Qin Yifan still said those three words, and with a wave of his hand at the dark corpse: "Xiaoling, go bring in those yaks, carefully select one!"
Last day strong push
