Chapter 533: The Family Banquet of the Monkey Group
Any living creature has its own way of life and its own social relationships. Of course, they also have their own world.
Ren Hailuan was very grateful when she saw that the older male monkey was injured while going to collect medicine for Tang Zhong. And now, she finally understood why the White Monkey King let the older male monkey go out in the first place.
They were a little unwilling, and their expressions were slightly frightened. It turned out that they had already known that besides themselves, there was another group of more ferocious species living in this valley - wild wolves.
Wild wolves, like monkeys, are social animals. They also have complex social relationships and a strict hierarchy. Their IQ is no worse than that of monkeys, and sometimes they are more cunning and changeable.
When Ren Hailuan heard the howling of wolves at first, she didn't pay much attention to it. That was because she had never dealt with wolves before. The White Monkey King must have lived in this valley for a long time, and he had no idea what was happening here.
The situation is quite understood. And with its IQ, it is obviously far superior to all other animals in the valley. The reason why the monkey king immediately became nervous as soon as he heard the howl of the wolf was probably because he and his
The monkeys and grandchildren have dealt with these wolves many times and know their situation well. Ren Hailuan also judged from the howling of wolves in the valley just now that the wolves even chased the male monkeys all the way here.
At the bottom of the cave, the cliff was too high and too steep for them to climb up like wild monkeys, so they chose to give up.
Fortunately, the male monkey's injury was not serious. After Ren Hailuan applied a herbal bandage on it, the male monkey actually grinned at her in a friendly manner. It seemed that it would not be angry because of the injury.
When the monkey king and the other little monkeys saw that the older male monkey was fine, they were immediately relieved, so they took the lead and turned back to cook, and also instructed the little monkeys to prepare for the meal.
Ren Hailuan still went back to the kitchen to help. When the monkey king saw that all the male monkeys had returned home safely, Yeli suddenly felt more calm and immediately speeded up the cooking. His skills were so skillful and his seasoning was so accurate.
No worse than the chefs in the restaurants in the city, even worse. Ren Hailuan, who was helping out at the side, was fascinated by it. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes here, she would never have believed that in this world
There is actually a monkey whose cooking skills are much better than most humans who think they are smart.
Although Ren Hailuan is alone, she rarely cooks and doesn't even spend much time in the kitchen. Previously, the White Monkey King started slowly and Ren Hailuan could keep up with the rhythm, but now the Monkey King is in a hurry.
, came and went like the wind, which only made Ren Hailuan dazzled, and he was a little busy even handing things over.
The Monkey King is very particular about cooking. He puts oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings. As long as they are put in, they will not be left behind, and the amount is just right. It is as if they have been carefully calculated.
The same thing. Every time the monkey king prepared a dish, he would bring it to Ren Hailuan with a smile. However, he would let her taste it first. After getting praise and affirmation from Ren Hailuan, he would give the dish to the little monkeys.
The Monkey King is very skilled in his techniques and does not take any time to cook all the dishes.
It was ready. When the last dish, that is, the insect pupae that Ren Hailuan had cleaned before came out of the pot, the Monkey King handed it to Ren Hailuan as usual for her to try. But when Ren Hailuan saw the pupae, he immediately
Thinking of their soft, fleshy appearance, she just felt a little nauseous and didn't dare to eat them. When she usually ate vegetables, if she ate an uncleaned caterpillar, she would be nauseated for many days.
Now that she knew they were bugs, but she continued to let her taste them, how could she swallow them?
Seeing that Ren Hailuan didn't dare to eat it, the Monkey King tried to eat one with chopsticks, and then gave Ren Hailuan a thumbs up with a smile to show that it was very delicious. Ren Hailuan seemed to believe it, but she didn't believe it either.
She was embarrassed to let down the Monkey King. After all, after she and Tang Zhong broke into the cave, the Monkey King not only did not make things difficult for them, but also took good care of them. For this reason, even if the insect pupa was very unpalatable, she had to try it.
Eat it to at least express your feelings.
So she also picked up the chopsticks and tried to eat one very nervously, but she felt that it was extremely crispy and delicious. The monkey king really didn't lie to her. It seems that the tastes of monkeys are still similar to humans, at least the monkey king's
The taste is roughly the same as that of humans.
Ren Hailuan tried to eat a worm pupa and found it very delicious, so he immediately gave a thumbs up to the monkey king to show his praise. Seeing that Ren Hailuan was very satisfied, the monkey king felt very happy and took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick basket.
Chopsticks, he picked up the last dish and went out.
All the dishes have been served, and the four stone tables are filled to the brim. Ren Hailuan didn't think so before, but when he came out to take a look, he discovered that the Monkey King had prepared four tables of meals in just a short time, and they tasted delicious.
, the exquisite techniques are at the level of a first-class chef.
Ren Hailuan has been wondering, there are clearly three pairs of chopsticks in the chopstick basket, why did the Monkey King only take two pairs?
The little monkeys were already standing around the four tables. Some of the little monkeys didn't even pay attention to the rules and directly picked up their rice bowls and climbed on their mothers. But what surprised Ren Hailuan was that although these little monkeys
They were all carrying rice bowls, and the bowls were all filled with rice, but there was not even a pair of chopsticks on the four tables.
The monkeys were still very polite. Although they were extremely greedy, they kept waiting until the Monkey King and Ren Hailuan arrived, and no monkey ate at all.
Ren Hailuan saw that all four tables were already occupied, and each table was occupied by more than ten monkeys, not counting the little monkeys riding on their mothers.
Although the four stone tables are all round tables, even so, they can only seat more than ten people at most. Ren Hailuan and the Monkey King came out, but there were no seats at all. When Ren Hailuan was thinking about where to sit, this
At that time, the Monkey King had already sat on his Monkey King throne, and there happened to be a small round stone table in front of him. On it were various dishes served in small bowls, all separated from the table.
There is also a stone chair on the left and right sides of its throne, which is also very exquisite and luxurious. The monkey king pointed to the seat on his left, and then let Ren Hailuan sit on it. It seems that he also knows how to "respect the left"
reason.
Ren Hailuan didn't understand why the Monkey King actually understood these social etiquettes belonging to humans? Could it be that it had had close contact with humans before, and it was not just a monkey living in the mountains without going out to see others?
A wild monkey who passed away from the outside world. Ren Hailuan even felt that the monkey king had much broader knowledge than he did. This is just because he knew how to use various seasonings and make such four tables of delicacies.
see.
Ren Hailuan guessed that the reason why the Monkey King did not sit with the little monkeys to eat was probably because there was no room for them to sit down. Although Ren Hailuan felt that he should not sit down to eat on an equal footing with the Monkey King, because there was no other place to sit, so
I could only sit on the stone chair to the left of the Monkey King.
oh oh.
.
.
.
.
.
When the monkey king saw that all the "people" had arrived, he barked and ordered "Let's eat." Although, except for Ren Hailuan, the other monkeys were not people at all. However, they also understood it very well.
Ren Hailuan was very surprised by the rules and politeness.
However, Ren Hailuan soon discovered that he was wrong. As soon as the Monkey King gave the order, monkeys suddenly made noises in the cave, as if they were fighting, and food was flying all over the sky, as if they were not eating at all, but grabbing.
Food. But in fact, the food on the table is not insufficient, and there is a lot of it, but the monkeys just love to grab it. It seems that eating like this is satisfying, but a lot of food is wasted on the ground.
Only now did Ren Hailuan understand why the monkey king had to eat alone, and why it was stipulated that he had to wait for his order before eating? Because he didn't want to compete with the little monkeys for food, nor did he want them to overdo it.
Waste of food. Some little monkeys have even put their claws directly into the wooden basin of boiled fish to fish for fish. Even though the soup inside is still boiling and has not completely cooled down, they are not afraid.
When the White Monkey King saw this, he had no choice but to shake his head, and then handed Ren Hailuan a pair of chopsticks, and each monkey tasted it slowly. It seemed that even the White Monkey King had no choice but to eat like this when faced with his monkey grandsons.
, there is no alternative, there is no way to restrain and stop them. Because this is the nature of the monkeys. If we have to train all the monkeys to be as knowledgeable about human nature and Dali as the White Monkey King, it is simply impossible. Such a group of monkeys,
They are no longer a group of monkeys, they are no different from humans at all.
Ren Hailuan took the chopsticks and discovered that it turned out that the monkey king had two pairs of chopsticks, but they were for him and himself. None of the little monkeys in the lobby below knew how to use chopsticks, they all used their paws to grab food directly.
The monkey also used chopsticks well and ate in a civilized manner. From time to time, he would "oh oh oh" and "chat" with Ren Hailuan. However, Ren Hailuan didn't understand what it was talking about and could only guess and talk to each other.
It was very difficult to chat between them.
In less than a moment, the monkeys had finished eating. To be precise, they should have finished grabbing the food. The outside of the house was a mess and it was impossible to look directly at it. Although the monkey king had cooked a lot of food, it was all eaten by the monkeys.
After a sudden grab, a lot was wasted immediately, and all that was left were just scraps.
After a while, the Monkey King and Ren Hailuan finished their meal. At this time, the Monkey King gave an order, and the little monkeys immediately cleaned up all the tableware and wasted food, and washed their own tableware one after another.
Went. It seems that there are many benefits to having more "people" at home. At least the monkey king doesn't have to wash the dishes himself, and he only needs to give an order, and the monkeys can clean up the house very quickly.
