Chapter 1348 He Cried (Third Watch)
[Sweat first, I'm a little sleepy after dinner in the afternoon, so I want to lie down first and write the remaining 4,000 words. As a result, I fell asleep at six o'clock until ten thirty in the evening. Now I can only catch up with today's word count as soon as possible. Dear book friends, please bear with me if it is less than 8,000 words. 】
A strong fragrance permeated the palace, which was a fragrance that no one had ever smelled before. In the long-term civilization process, the Skrulls gave up a lot of things in order to be able to study science better. One of the most important things is called [enjoyment].
Because everyone's life is limited, if too much time is spent on enjoyment, then there is no time to do scientific experiments. Think about it, how much time does it take to make wine? From the picking of the crops to fermentation and then to cellaring and then to a good bottle of wine. It takes months at least, years or even decades at most. If you say that brewing can be said to be something that allows it to be placed without special management, what about cooking?
How much time does it take to cook a good dish? How long does it take to eat a good meal? It takes a lot of time to enjoy the food. If you spend three hours a day cooking and eating, a lot of time will be wasted. Not to mention there are other entertainment items, such as "Civilization" that says "I will shut down after playing this game". For example, "Too Filthy Volume", which took forty hours to get started.
Even the simplest entertainment items for people on earth: watching variety shows, movies, and novels. These also take off every hour.
The Skrulls used to enjoy entertainment. Although their entertainment methods are not as rich as those on Earth today, they are not as desolate as deserts like today. Only at some point, a supreme scientist of Skrull made a speech: "So things that can't help our civilization advance, can't produce, and can't create value should be erased! If we want civilization to be strong, we shouldn't waste time In entertainment and enjoyment! What we need is work work work work study study study study!"
That was the historical stage in which the Skrulls moved from planetary civilization to cosmic civilization. The scientist's statement received huge support at the time. Countless people agreed with what he said, and the country began to promulgate various prohibitions, so that the Skrulls would not be entertained, but all turn to production and scientific research.
It cannot be said that what the scientist said was wrong, and the plan he proposed cannot be said to be wrong. If you have to find a comparison, you may be able to compare him with Wei Yang's entry into Qin during the Warring States Period in China on Earth. Wei Yang went to Qin to reform Qin law, and he let the people in the whole Qin country only know about farming and fighting. Only after war farming became a basic national policy did Qin stand out from the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and finally unified the world.
The Skrulls actually followed the same path. Their lives have been changed by this supreme scientist to only study, work, scientific research, and fight! hungry? Just one shot! Don't waste your time eating, it's pointless! You eat only to live, and you live only to make civilization stronger!
Under intense brainwashing, the Skrulls have gradually become a super civilization ruling the Andromeda Galaxy step by step. To this day they still retain these traditions, and even say that they have become habits. They feel that this is how life should be lived, and they have never felt that there is anything wrong with living like this.
But Count Messiah agreed that the way of life of Skrull civilization was too depressing, and he wanted to die in this kind of life! Now Skuru's development has reached a bottleneck, such is the science and the territory. So what if you are working hard and doing scientific research? It has been difficult to achieve other achievements.
So why not stop? Wouldn't it be nice to spend more time on entertainment?
During those days on the earth, although Count Messiah was imprisoned by the big bosses of the Illuminati, he watched various entertainment programs and ate various delicacies. But he is actually thinking about his own life. He has been in a daze for so many years. In fact, Earl Messiah also has his own dreams, and he also wants to make some achievements of his own.
And during this time on earth, he thought clearly, he wanted to be the pioneer who changed the way of life of the Skrulls! Let the Skrull understand what real life is! And the change will start from the superstructure of the Skrulls.
The Earl of Messiah commanded the waiters to bring the prepared dishes to the table one by one, and the bright silver tableware contained various delicacies. Start with all kinds of fried food with compelling aroma and people can't help but move their index fingers. Fried chicken, french fries, assorted tempura. The next thing is all kinds of grilled food. All kinds of meat brought from the earth are used up by Count Messiah at this moment. It was made by him: roast beef, roast lamb chops, roast pork tenderloin.
Of course cooking is also essential. When Messiah was on earth, he liked fried rice very much, whether it was simple egg fried rice, emperor fried rice with dozens of ingredients, or his favorite Laoganma fried rice. (Messaya has been wondering why this dish has a name. There is no godmother in it?) There are also stir-fried assorted dishes, pork tenderloin, braised meatballs, three-fresh crispy rice and so on.
Plus all kinds of delicious canned fruits brought from the earth. (Note: Not all canned fruits are the kind of hard-to-eat canned sugar water in supermarkets. There are very good canned fruit, and even canned fruit that is fresher and more flavorful than fresh fruit in some ways)
Finally, there are various desserts, such as creme brulee, brownie cake, and apple pie. Of course, various wines and beverages brought from the earth are indispensable. Rio and Pepsi, which Messiah likes very much, are also on the table.
There are so many things, Messiah has prepared dozens of different dishes. Its weight is enough for hundreds of princes, ministers and generals who participated in this dinner to enjoy it together. But when all the dishes were served, according to Messiah's imagination, the scene of everyone rushing to eat together (not to mention the aristocratic demeanor, anyway, Messiah himself is this way of eating) did not appear. Instead, everyone looked at the dishes in blank dismay. Even though there were many people swallowing their saliva, no one stepped forward to make a move.
Messiah slapped his forehead. Yes, it's been too long since the Skrulls have really eaten [food], especially this kind of buffet-style banquet. So he had to pick up a goblet and knock it with a knife in the banquet hall to make a ding-ding sound. The Messiah attracted everyone's attention, and he said to everyone: "Everyone, start to enjoy the food."
"You call this food?" The general is a strong middle-aged and elderly man. Although he secreted a lot of saliva, he never did anything: "How should these things be eaten?"
An idiot who has been fooled by injections, Messiah criticized in his heart. But on the surface he was still smiling: "Eat it with your mouth!" As he spoke, he took a piece of apple pie and took a bite. The creamy and burnt aroma of the puff pastry, the sweet and sour inside. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, Messiah couldn't help but exclaim: "Delicious!"
"General, you can eat a piece too." As he spoke, Messiah helped the general take a piece with a pastry spatula and put it on his plate. The general looked around, well, everyone was waiting for his reaction. He believed that the Messiah did not dare to poison him. So he took a very quick bite, a whole big bite, and almost half of the apple pie was gone.
Messiah was originally closing his eyes and waiting for the general to call out the word delicious. But after a long time, there was no response from the general, and Messiah looked at the general suspiciously. The general with a firm face and always stern face was chewing the apple pie, while his cheeks twitched slightly, as if he was holding back something. In the end, after enduring it for a long time, I still couldn't hold it back, and two lines of tears burst out of my eyes suddenly.
Messiah looked at the general in disbelief, he...he...he actually cried! ! !
