Chapter 177
At the luncheon, Skyler quietly asked the Sengoku beside him: "General Sengoku, is this an appetizer?"
At this time, Sengoku, Skyler, Cobra, and other envoys from allied countries gathered at a long table with a lot of food on it, but... a plate the size of a washbasin. What does fist-sized food mean?
Zhan Guo looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he said helplessly in a low voice: "Eat slowly, you can go out to eat later, and the old man will reimburse you in front of you when you return."
"It's just a mouthful."
Schuyler sighed helplessly. It was the first time in her life that she used a crane to teach her dining etiquette. She began to dine on such a formal occasion. The posture was elegant and pleasing to the eye. It was Schuyler who felt that she had eaten, but it seemed that she hadn't eaten at all!
At the end of the lunch, Skyler was about to leave, but found that Cobra and a group of envoys surrounded her and Sengoku with smiles on their faces, but this made the hungry Skyler very unhappy.
Zhan Guo noticed Skyler's emotional changes, took a deep breath helplessly, and had a question in his heart, isn't this little girl really Karp's own daughter? The emotional performance after being hungry is almost the same.
Except for Skyler who can restrain himself a bit, but thinking about it, it’s just that Crane taught well. For a moment in the Warring States Period, I thought of Skyler’s changes in the past few years. He really changed from a tomboy to a superficially elegant lady. .
As for why the surface? Because the Warring States see clearly the inner nature of Skyler, under the beautiful and elegant skin, there is a heart of a reckless man exactly like Garp.
Sengoku coughed twice, making Skyler pay attention, and making Cobra and others subconsciously listen to what Sengoku wanted to say next. After clearing his throat, Sengoku said to Skyler:
"Major General Skyler, what I just told you, I'll trouble you to help the old man go."
Skyler also reacted instantly, saluted, and said, "Yes! General of the Warring States Period!"
After finishing speaking, Skyler turned around decisively and left. Although Cobra and the others were suspicious, they didn't ask any questions considering that it might be about military affairs. What's more, their original goal was the Warring States Period.
If Skyler is here, they also have to talk to Skyler. Although Skyler's identity, experience, and background are worth getting to know, it is sufficient, but not necessary.
However, Cobra still kept this matter in mind. After all, Alabasta was his kingdom. If the Navy wanted to do something, Cobra might not be able to stop it on the spot.
But Cobra will ask the navy to explain it at the meeting of the allies of the world government.
However, in the afternoon, Cobra learned from the head of the guard, Icarem, that after Skyler left the palace, he only went to eat, and he also showed a speechless expression.
Icarem looked at Cobra who couldn't laugh or cry at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Major General Skyler is the daughter of Lieutenant General Garp, their appetite."
It dawned on Cobra that the number of times Capul came to Alabasta was limited, and he hadn't succeeded at that time, but... At the World Government Conference, Cobra met Capul.
The scene of meeting Kapuna's food intake, and complaining that the World Government is not preparing enough meals, making them either rush to make new meals, or eat them.
Cobra shuddered, and said: "Tonight. Change to a reception, deliver food to the residences of the envoys, General Warring States and Major General Skyler, feed them first, and then come to the reception. "
This trick has a miraculous effect!
At the evening reception, when Cobra saw Skyler again, he found that not only did she not have the feeling of repelling people thousands of miles away that she saw during the day, but she even had a hint of friendliness.
Skyler, who was full of food and drink, did not drink at the reception, but began to talk with others. Cobra was very satisfied with this. A mere meal of a hundred catties of barbecue can be exchanged for a rear admiral of the Navy headquarters.
"Wait! Icarem, you just said, how much did she eat?"
Cobra looked at Icarem with some horror. Icarem was also relieved to see his king reacting at this time. It turned out that he was not the only one who thought this was abnormal, so that's good.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Schuyler ate all the one hundred catties of meat that the chef brought over, and counting the loss during the barbecue, it was about eighty catties.
Major General Schuyler said she was pleased with the afternoon tea and hoped that dinner would be served after the reception. "
Cobra was in a daze for a moment. He hadn't drunk yet, and there was a glare in front of his eyes. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reconfirmed: "One hundred catties, all eaten? Afternoon tea?"
Cobra was doing math problems in his mind at this time, assuming that a cow weighs 1,500 catties and the meat yield is 50%, then only 750 catties of beef will be produced. Even less meat.
Assuming that Major General Schuyler eats three meals a day, plus an afternoon tea, the food size of the main meal is twice that of the afternoon tea. One cow is not enough for Schuyler to eat for a day!
Cobra smacked his lips, and said to Icarem: "Aren't there more casinos on the other side of the rainy land? I remember that there is a free buffet after getting started, right?"
Icarem meeting, asked: "Are you going to change Princess Vivi's dinner to a rainy place?"
Cobra shook his head and said: "It's too late, but after the dinner party, there are still several days of arrangements, let's hold it in the rainy place, let's reserve a reception room, and then... arrange for Major General Skyler to meet alone Check in as a guest."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I understand, I will arrange it now."
"The food for these two days must keep up, and Major General Schuyler must not look down on us in Alabasta."
Icarem took the order to go, and Cobra braced himself up, and started a round of communication that everyone didn't like.
The next day, Princess Vivi's banquet was over, and Cobra announced that he would lead everyone to see a new industry in Alabasta, Rainland Entertainment City, which is actually a gambling city, but the entertainment city sounds better.
When checking into the entertainment city, Skyler was a little strange, because she checked in through another channel, but she didn't ask, probably because Cobra and Sengoku are all men.
There may be special entertainment, Skyler is too lazy to mix it up, after all, it is for everyone's happiness.
That night, a waiter from the entertainment city knocked on the door of an office. After getting a reply from inside, the waiter opened the door and walked in. He said to the dark space in front of him:
"Boss, the navy is making trouble!"
"Huh? What did he do?"
A male voice sounded, with doubts and dissatisfaction in his tone, the waiter swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "It is a female Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, she will serve the self-service barbecue that we are going to supply to the entire casino tonight.
All eaten up! The other guests are now very dissatisfied! "
The man in the darkness suddenly twitched his eyelids a few times, and muttered to himself, "Why... does it sound familiar?"
