"Every time you come to the draft, there's going to be something like that." Lu Yunzhi said with a smile: "So we didn't go out of our way to inquire, anyway, we either rode horses or shot arrows, and one year we even went into the mountains to hunt, causing a show girl to be dragged away by a wolf." Later, he no longer pulled out, and only moved in the capital. ”

"It's going to be a bit more lively this year." Lu Yunsheng added: "I heard that because Emperor Chen advised the emperor to take care of the dragon body, this time the emperor probably just meant to choose one or two, and the main thing was to let the children of the clan choose carefully, so ......"

Lu Yunsheng didn't say anything further, but it was easy to imagine.

Originally, the emperor picked first, and then everyone chose it. This time, the emperor basically doesn't choose, so of course everyone has to fight bravely to be the first.

Sure enough, after the training camp on the second day, when I walked back after lunch, I saw that the palace people were busy separating some lots. Although the simple bamboo fence used for separation is only half a person high, it can't block the view at all, and it can't stop people who want to climb over, but it still has to be interesting.

After another night, the next day's etiquette class was advanced, and after the end, the show girls gathered on both sides of the avenue in the center of the summer resort directly under the leadership of the grandmother.

You can't ride a horse in the villa, Xia Xiaodong saw at a glance that the two people who led the horse were the six princes and the nine princes, and there were a few bright yellow ones behind them, and they were probably all princes. At the back, there were all young people in their seventeen or eighteen to twenty years, all dressed very neatly, most of them wearing breeches, looking quite energetic.

In the end, the men's camp led by the princes and the women's camp led by the grandmothers gathered in front of the Yanbo Palace, the widest in the villa.

Cui Shangyi appeared again to the sound of the drum of the little wooden man, and explained the schedule of the polo match and the role arrangements that everyone needs to do.

In short, it's an exchange of seeing and being seen.

The first to end up is the men's camp, which provides a polo performance for the women's camp that is spectacular, entertaining, and exciting.

Show girls can express their approval by throwing handkerchiefs, archery (which Xia Xiaodong didn't understand at all), throwing colored balls and other long-distance projections.

Then it is the women's camp that provides the same ornamental, entertaining, and exciting ...... for the men's camp Cooking show.

The princes and the children of the clan expressed their approval by combining the taste of Guò with the throwing of pearls (which Xia Xiaodong did not understand at all).

If Lang Qing Concubine is willing to love me, then needless to say, the Zongren Mansion has its own set of procedures.

Xia Xiaodong looked left and right, but couldn't find anyone else who was surprised, it seems that this kind of large-scale blind date activity that is quite subversive in his own eyes is indeed staged every three years.

She looked at Lu Yunzhi, who was separated by a few people, and it happened that Lu Yunzhi also looked over.

Xia Xiaodong saw Lu Yunzhi raise her eyebrows at her, and stretched out her tongue, making a grimace that was not scary at all.

……

……

"Don't you really know? Never! No one has ever told you?! When they met at lunchtime, Lu Yunzhi was still full of disbelief: "It's the same every time, the show girls are all cooks, so it's more or less good." ”

"Why cooking?" Xia Xiaodong really doesn't understand, there are so many things to compete with, why do you want this?

"Simple and fair."

Is it easy? Fair? Xia Xiaodong looked at Lu Yunsheng who said this, and felt that he had nothing to say.

It's not easy at all, you have to prepare ingredients, pots, cups, bowls, and firewood, it's very troublesome, right?

As for fairness? Uh, wouldn't I be the only one?

At this time, Miss Qin Si came over and said excitedly: "Oh, have you thought of what to make snacks?" ”

The so-called cooking skills are not necessarily so troublesome to fry and fry, everyone mostly makes some snacks and snacks.

"Do you know what kind of cooking you're going to perform?" Xia Xiaodong said strangely.

"yes, it's not the same every time." Miss Qin's statement is the same as Lu Yunzhi's: "Sister Xiaodong, don't you know how to do it?" ”

"......" can eat or not.

"No, it doesn't matter." Miss Qin Si has seen and heard a lot: "I remember a ......"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice, looked left and right, and continued: "Once the eleventh mother of Li Shaoqing's family in Taifu Temple didn't know it at all, and then she made boiled eggs. You know what? More than a dozen eggs were boiled, and all of them were taken! Who makes parents look good! ”

Well, it seems fair. Won't do complex, won't you make simple? In the final analysis, it's still a fight for beauty.

But ......, Xia Xiaodong looked at a room of girls sitting and eating in a regular manner, and still couldn't imagine how so many people could cook together?

"Tell me, what's going on with this cooking?" Xia Xiaodong grabbed Miss Qin Si and glared at Lu Yunzhi, who was gloating.

"What's going on?" Miss Qin Si said curiously: "Isn't it just to make two kinds of dim sum, and you can do it when you watch polo." ”

After finally figuring it out, Xia Xiaodong also found that it was actually really simple.

If we talk about history, this activity really has a long history, which can be traced back to the era of the Taizu of the Kai Dynasty.

It's just because the queen of Taizu was born as a commoner and attached great importance to 'food for the people', so when the first general election of women, she put forward a request, the women around the emperor should understand the hardships of the people, at least they must be able to cook the food, right?

Although Empress Taizu's requirements are not high, how dare the people below ignore them?

At the beginning, the show girls had to be under the supervision of the chef in the imperial dining room, and they could make a table of dishes before they could pass the test. Later, as the country grew stronger, the conditions for the show girls became better and better - which meant that there were fewer and fewer opportunities to cook, and this requirement was constantly changing.

Today, it has evolved more to a form. The show girls don't have to wash, chop, chop and mix by themselves, but just instruct the cooks to do it, anyway, they end up with one or two things, even if it's a boiled egg, as long as the other party is willing to admit it.

And because of the large number of people, it is not easy to operate at the same time, and of course it is not convenient for the show girls to run to the kitchen, so it is usually set up a few temporary houses, and the show girls take turns to go over and 'make' some food.

"There is a polo tournament this year, so the place to make dim sum is in the peony gallery on the side of the court." Miss Qin Si's news is really well-informed: "You can come over to eat after the game." And the polo game is more than three days, which is enough for everyone to do. ”

No wonder Lu Yunzhi said that the draft was advanced to enhance the atmosphere. Just imagine that on one side, the fierce men are rushing to play in the field, and on the other side, the charming girls are making soup on the sidelines, which seems to be really lively.
