Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"I'm curious, why did you choose to accept his invitation?" Shi Huaiya was very curious about this, if she wanted to get help from Syracuse, shouldn't it be the government of Syracuse?

"Because what I need is real help." Xia Lin shook her head. The so-called real help is the help that can immediately block the channels for Tracy to replenish manpower, material resources and funds.

"Specifically?" "I can't say it now, after all, it's in someone else's home." Why can't you ask the Syracuse government, because it's useless to find it, they will support Kazdel in words at most and will not send troops, They will not sacrifice their own interests, and most importantly, they will not block Teresis, because after all, the regent's army is closer to them.

But, on the other hand, the mafia looking for Syracuse can indeed bypass these troubles and directly block Terais, and the way is to organize a large-scale strike by the mafia that controls a large number of dock workers and vineyard workers. As for the reason for the strike, there is no need to even look for it.

In the late autumn when the Great Depression was about to break out, the products produced were piled up and were also impacted by foreign products. The wages of these workers fell again and again, coupled with the instinctive tightening of production by the factory owners, to avoid overproduction Thanks to the loss of money, the prices of commodities on the market have increased instead of falling, and social conflicts have become acute.

At this time, using the issue of wages and benefits as an excuse, there is no need to deliberately provoke a large-scale strike. It is just necessary to maintain a limit, and the strike cannot be turned into an uprising and civil war. For the Syracuse government, this is also a perfect excuse to eat both ends, neither to offend Tracy, nor to offend the new Kazdel who seems to be bound to win.

Now that the dock workers are on strike, and naturally no one is unloading, the materials from Victoria will be densely piled up in Syracuse, and Lao Xia and Shihuaiya Group only need to lose a little money to smuggle these materials. form to get.

In this way, the Syracuse government was stabilized, the workers got extra income and did not make trouble for the time being. Shan—and Lao Xia and the others not only got the much-needed combat supplies, but also attacked the enemy.

And the only way for Tracys to break the situation is to increase the economic influence on Syracuse, or simply increase the money, and once he is dragged into the state of economic war... and the Xia Group will increase The two behemoths of the ancient group are playing economic warfare?Lein cried his whole life and went home, okay?

"War is an art, an art that is not limited to battlefields, operators and killing. It is the ultimate means for one social group to fight another social group, that is, to use all means and strength to compete on and off the table. , in fact, wars outside the battlefield are more important. Diplomacy, economy, politics, religion, and even some ethnic groups and folk customs are all weapons that we need to use. Attack them on every inch of land, from economy to governance, without missing a single one," said the doctor.

Although Teresi's current strength should not be able to use this kind of unrestricted warfare method, but the doctor is not going to give him another chance. This time, without Theresia to make trouble, Kelsey's opinion alone cannot convince the entire team The other half.

"Ah, I don't understand, I don't want to understand, I want to rest!"

"Then I have a rest too?" Lao Xia touched it with his hand, and was pulled away by his tail, "Climb for me!" That's called a rest?Don't even think about getting up until dinner time.

The little tiger is not thick-skinned to this extent, and then again, he has already entered the "grave" ahead of time, and he has passed the first, second, third and fourth bases, so there is no need to give this guy any good looks and pretend to be a lady.

"Huh?" Lao Xia suddenly looked out the window, "What's the matter?" Shi Huaiya was also excited for a moment, and instinctively reached out to touch the weapon pouch on her thigh.

Then I remembered that in order not to embarrass the owner, I handed it over to the shield guards for safekeeping. After all, it is reasonable to carry a weapon on the road. After entering the house, isn’t it an expression of distrust for the owner?

"No, I just saw a biological...uh, biological" When Lao Xia saw the big fluffy tail, his first thought was not how cute it was, but how cute it was. Don't tie the knot?

And the second thought is that if this kind of animal is raised, it probably needs a specially designed machine for grooming every day, right?And if you shave, will it be troublesome? Isn't it hot in summer if you don't shave?Wait very rude thought.

"Well, let me see!"

"Aren't you going to rest?"

"Let me see!" The little tiger jumped off the bed and pushed Lao Xia away, "Wow, it's really cute."

In the garden, the quiet blonde loli is reading a picture book. The sun shines on her hair, reflecting the light like gold. Maybe she saw a wonderful place, and a tail bigger than her is flying behind her. swaying.

"I really want to steal it home!"

"Please be sure not to do such a thing. In other words, according to the Terra people, they should be Volpers, right?" And Syracuse is mainly Lupers, which means that their genes are closer to wolves than to humans. Canine creatures, and Wolper are closer to canine creatures, but, interestingly, foxes are also included in Wolper.

"That's right, I've never seen a Volper with so many tails, it seems to be only found in the Eastern Kingdom."

"Is it a mixed race? Or is it a person from the Eastern Kingdom?" Lao Xia doesn't know much about the situation in the Eastern Kingdom. There are not many Chinese.

"During dinner, let's ask." The Dongguo man appeared here, still in the godfather's courtyard, and he seemed to have a relatively low status. At least he saw a few servants nearby who nodded friendlyly to him, and then It is worth mentioning what it means to continue to take care of this little girl.

"And I remember you don't like children that much?" Shi Huaiya doesn't hate children, but she doesn't like them to the extent that she wants to take them back when she sees a cute loli, "Yeah, why? I saw She felt like she wanted it very much, so she hugged and rubbed her."

The little tiger frowned. In the end, he didn't figure out a reason. It can only be attributed to the relationship between marriage, so, some kind of motherhood?Or maybe it's a simple married woman who completely let herself go? 【Married women are generally more relaxed】

At the same time, the shield guard who was guarding the outside suddenly made a concealed gesture, and several teammates behind him quickly passed on the order, and then dispersed as if nothing happened.

However, in the next second, "Attack!" commanded in simple Ursasi language, seven or eight short halberds were thrown out, directly piercing a hut outside the manor, and a black shadow ejected from it, "Ah, it's Ursa Sass people, you don't look like you've seen them before!"

Two long swords in the Eastern style crossed the body of the shield guard, and the decent suit was instantly torn, leaving two bloodstains on the sturdy body, but the latter did not retreat at all, but reached out to grab the attacker. The attacker was forced to kick back to distance himself.

"Hey!" The nano-healing spray was sprayed twice on the chest, and the wound began to heal quickly, which made the attacker a little dumbfounded. Isn't this a bit too fucking cheating?The wounds torn by her own sword skills are not so easy to heal under normal circumstances, but she used the origin stone skills in it.

"Wait!" The attacker looked around and found that these Ursas and the guards of the godfather who were already nervous were surrounded, and then looked at the armored vehicle that directly crashed into the garage and threw it into the hands of his teammates from the inside of the vehicle. The guy with the big shield and the halberd...

"I'm... goodbye!" The white-haired Luper turned around and ran away without saying a word. She was crazy, and she was not stupid. This shit is the elite shield guard of Ursus!That damn employer cheated!

God frankly went to tie up a little girl who had no fighting power. Only some guards of the godfather were watching. Because of the attack, the main defense force of the godfather was inside the mansion, and the courtyard of the mansion was relatively weak.

"That's what you f*ck said 'weak defenses'"

The defense is weak, referring to a small group of elite shield guards who specialize in defensive operations and protecting the royal family's dignitaries to patrol here, and even bring armored units?If it wasn't for his quick reaction, running as soon as he said it, and the opponent's most powerful shield guard didn't pursue him, it would be considered a career failure.

"It's the second time!" The godfather didn't look angry, but the change in his tone made everyone feel like they were in hell, "It's the second time, this is the second time my mansion has been attacked, and This time, it was discovered by our guests.”

This is not something that can be described as embarrassing. For the mafia, this is almost equivalent to the end of the world's career.

"You go, go back and figure out how to explain to the family." The godfather may be old after all, and he gave the other party a decent chance. After all, the other party has followed him for decades. Humans are not machines after all, they have feelings Yes, but this is also the last chance given by the godfather.

If he is not decent, then Mr. Corleone will have to manually help him to be more decent, and by then many people in the family will not be decent.

"Is Lisa hurt?"

"No, the attacker was stopped outside the courtyard. The maid took Lisa to a safe place. She was obedient and quiet. She was not frightened or injured."

"That's good." The godfather finally showed a smile. If Lisa gets hurt, then not only will he violate his promise, but he will also violate his oath, and even violate his original intention of establishing this "family"— —Then when the time comes, there will not be only one middle-level leader who will be forced to be decent.

During the dinner, the Syracuses are the same as the Italians on Earth, and they are similar to the Dayan people. They like to talk about things at the dinner table. Dinner can generally be eaten from the afternoon to the early morning. However, the process of talking about things is opposite to that of Dayan.

Dayan usually doesn't talk about anything before serving the food and drinking, and it's time to talk about things after three rounds of wine and five flavors, while the Syracusans are the other way around. When the dishes are served, the host will entertain the guests graciously , and exchanged some small and interesting things, trying not to make the atmosphere serious and embarrassing, affecting the taste of food on both sides.

And when a dish is over, drink a little table wine, and wait for the gap between the next dish, it is the time to talk. This is also a kind of etiquette. As one of the countries on Terra that boast the most cultural heritage of their ancestors, They naturally also have their own cultural persistence.

[Actually, the Romans are like this~ They are similar to the Chinese in various habits, maybe because they are all children of rich families?It is different from other poor ghosts in Europe and Asia~]

However, even on more formal occasions, the Syracusans’ dinners are very casual. Basically, they drink and eat as they want. There are not as many rules as Victorian nobles’ banquets. This point is also different from Dayan’s. Almost, even more casual, because the host will not persuade wine and food.

【The guest is happy to drink, the host's face is radiant——Italian proverb】

This is very comfortable for Lao Xia, he is not the kind of person who likes rigid aristocratic etiquette, and Shi Huaiya was a little cautious at the beginning, but soon became casual, "It is indeed different from Victoria's banquet It's the same," she whispered the difference with Lao Xia.

Victoria's aristocratic banquets are very cumbersome. When to drink what wine, what tableware to use, how to pick up the meal, etc. are all particular.

On the contrary, the dinner of the Syracusans is much simpler, and there are only two things to pay attention to:

First, don't talk when eating and drinking, that is, when they are eating, they will never talk about things, and don't make any noise;

Second, don't get up to get the food, there will be a maid to help, of course, you can also ask the neighbors to help.

Since wine will be served between the two courses, and because it takes a lot of time to drink and talk, even a family banquet in Syracuse, that is, the kind with only three main courses, will take more than two hours. more than hours

.And their mantra is "don't drink if you don't want to spend time", because drinking is a formal banquet in their eyes, and they don't drink alcohol or bring their spouses for lunch at work, so they eat quickly.

Neither the little tiger nor Lao Xia had any resistance to wine, which made the godfather who had prepared low-alcohol wine, who originally thought that the Victorian lady might not be strong enough to drink, heave a sigh of relief. The sound is considered auspicious.

[Opening champagne to celebrate is really an Italian tradition, it's funny, it's just spread to other places]

As the godfather of Syracuse, the dinner he prepared was naturally prepared for a long conversation. Excluding the appetizer and the last dessert fruit, there were seven courses in the middle, which was the highest level of hospitality in Syracuse, because additional For the main course, a banquet has to be held until the dawn of the next day, everyone has little energy, and the guests will be very uncomfortable.

The appetizers are divided into hot dishes and cold dishes. Generally, there is only one kind of banquet, but for the convenience of Lao Xia, who is not a native of Syracuse, to taste the local food, they made two separate platters, which is mainly to avoid guests. For the sake of taboo.

The cold platter includes dried salted fish roe, fish in vinaigrette, pork head and tongue in sauce with walnuts and slices of prosciutto, while the hot platter features fried calamari and giblets, accompanied by other pan-fried appetizers .

[It looks a bit like the style of Chinese cold dishes]

The taste of the appetizers is very strong. In addition to the local dishes, according to the custom of Syracuse, the food and drinks brought by the guests will be opened and eaten directly at the beginning. This represents the trust in the guests, and the gifts will be opened on the spot , which is completely opposite to Dayan's ethos.

The food brought by Lao Xia as a cooperative sample was naturally served on the table. "Great honey" can smell the strong honey fragrance and light flower fragrance even across the long table, "However, What kind of honey is it?"

"Mixed honey, because there is no fixed variety in the flower field, this is produced by the black bee I cultivated."

"You cultivated it? Please forgive me, an old man. Maybe my ears are not very good. You just said..."

"Yes, I cultivated it"

"It's... amazing!" The godfather couldn't imagine that such a young man with such a high position would still be engaged in front-line research and production. Is this a habit or some other reason?This means following the conversation without touching the relevant minefield.

"Honey goes with wine, just like a swordsman should go with a good sword." Syracuse wine has the habit of adding honey to enhance its flavor. Of course, this is because the early technology was unqualified, which made the wine sour. Sugar can greatly improve the quality of wine.

But honey and sugar are expensive, so the cheap substitute is: lead powder, which will form lead acetate with a sweet taste. Fortunately, the people of Terra are strong, otherwise they will really die.

[Syracusans are werewolves, and they correspond to Rome and Italy very well, because Rome was founded by the wolf boy Romulus]

Next, the two did not enter into an in-depth chat on this topic, but each began to taste delicious food. The family members of the godfather who accompanied them also behaved very casually, but this kind of casualness was more like a rigidly created appearance. After all, for them Speaking of which, this kind of banquet is completely different from the usual family banquet.

Only in the short time after the food is swallowed and the wine is served, the godfather will tell some interesting stories, and others will echo a little, until the antipasto is basically left with a little sauce, the godfather will repeat it Dip the slender biscuits into the sauce on the plate and open the mouth again to bring the topic to a more serious one.

"Today, I really let you two receive some undeserved hospitality. For this, I once again express my apologies."

"It's okay, I want to know, that little blond girl is..."

"This is exactly what I want to talk to you" After the appetizer is finished, it is a good time to talk when you go to drink and wait for the next course, "Because of some changes in the family, she was stabbed in the arm by my enemy , infected with ore disease, I heard that the Xia Group has mastered a certain technology that can cure ore disease, I don’t know..."

"It cannot be cured, it can only guarantee that the disease will not occur for a lifetime, of course, it depends on the patient's condition"

"Oh? So that's the case? Then..." the godfather pondered for a while, "I wonder if our lovely Lisa can win your friendship?"

"This requires an operation, does the family agree?"

"I don't think that's a problem."

"Then I'm fine." This kind of treatment is completely acceptable as a medium for the two parties to get in the relationship, but the godfather is a little surprised because the other party doesn't seem to take this technology too seriously and doesn't need to pay too much.

"That's really great. The Corleone family values ​​every friend. We never treat friends badly. If anyone is an enemy of my friend, then it is my enemy, just like the person who hurt my family. I have no blood relationship with me, that is also my enemy." The godfather expressed his position to both parties at the same time, and he had not expressed his position until then, which led to Lisa's mother to take revenge herself.

"Zi!" The knife and fork and the plate made a harsh sound, "Huh?"

"I'm sorry, father, I'm just happy for Lisa." The godfather stared at this man indifferently. He is his daughter's husband and a member of the family. Although the godfather was not surprised by all this, his performance was disappointing. .

It's not because he participated in this conspiracy, nor because he played any dishonorable role, just like what I said at the beginning, they were never good people, but I can't stick to the betrayal I chose, even if it is so unmannered It's the biggest disgrace.

Gangsters are creatures of decency, and without decency, there are no rules, and no rules means that everything has to be all violent, and then they go from gangsters to outright bandits and terrorists.

In fact, they hope to use this accumulated face and decency to coerce the other party to submit. Just like the godfather said, they are not killers and butchers. If problems can be solved with fists and words, try not to use knives and guns.

After all, the price of force is very high. No one understands this better than Lao Xia sitting here. To maintain such a violent institution or force requires huge wealth. Gangsters exist for profit, not for feelings.

"I forgive you, son." The godfather thought for a while, his eyes became slightly softer, which relieved the panicked son-in-law, while the face of the uncle opposite him immediately changed, the meaning of forgiveness It is to make a mistake first, so what did my brother-in-law do to make my father say the word forgive?

At least it’s not a pre-meal misbehavior, because Syracuse’s tradition is not to be so rigid and serious during the dinner party. No one cares about such small mistakes, and at most they are regarded as uneducated~

"Wow~" Shi Huaiya whispered admiration, "This is really wonderful!"

"where?"

"Forget it, I won't tell you!" The little tiger turned her head away. In her eyes, this was no less than a famous painting like "The Last Supper". , the bewildered scholar, seems to be aware of what followers are trying to question—every character can find a place to bring in.

Chapter 33

The first main course is usually noodles or soup, and it may be Italian pizza, which is pizza. Unlike pizza in other places, the local authentic version requires thin and crispy crust, and it will be filled with tomato sauce and cheese seasoning , while other places are relatively thicker.

After the first main course was served, the atmosphere in the banquet hall eased up a bit. After all, for the Syracusans, it is similar to the Dayan people in terms of not hitting people at the dinner table. Let's talk after dinner.
