Chapter 280: The Palace Banquet (9)
The guqin is an excellent timbre, melodious, and the woman, whose body is weak and boneless, all the movements that are absolutely unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, are easy for her to do.
Not only is she soft, but her jumps and spins are also full of power. No matter how Qi Yue's tune changes, she can always complement the tune.
Shu Jin doesn't know how to play the guqin, so he doesn't know how Qi Yue plays, but he thinks it should be quite good. Shu Jin doesn't know much about dancing either, but he only knows that the dancing girl dances well. However, this is the case, Shu Jin also noticed that the later he went, the lighter the smile on the corner of Qi Yue's mouth, and many ministers at the banquet also frowned, while the envoy of the Thousand Island Country smiled brighter and brighter. Obviously, in this contest, Qi Yue did not have the upper hand.
Seeing this, Qi Yue finally couldn't help frowning, and finally ten fingers crossed the strings with extreme flexibility, and then an end note suddenly terminated the tune.
And the dancer, as if predictable, stopped at the last note, made a gesture of turning back and hugging the moon, and stopped dancing.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"It's really a song like a heavenly sound, and the dance is like a shocking Hong!"
The hall was silent for a few seconds, and the envoy of Luo suddenly shouted, and then slammed the table and praised. Everyone was praising it, and then another envoy from a big vassal country saw the opportunity and said:
"The princess's piano is good, and the messenger's dance is good, but we can't judge, but it's even, right? How is it? ”
When the envoy of the Kuril Country heard this, he frowned. But for a while, the envoys said "equally", and he raised his hand to look at Emperor Qi Yan again. Seeing Qi Yan with an unfathomable smile on his face, the envoy thought about it, so he also laughed. Say:
"Celestia's piano skills are amazing, and we admire them very much. I believe that Qiji's dance can be called equal to the piano skills of the eldest princess, and she will also feel fortunate in three lives. ”
The envoys of the Thousand Islands actually felt that their dancers were better than the piano of the Great Performance, but they did not dare to blatantly refute the face of the Emperor of the Great Performance and the envoys of so many countries, so they could only admit it.
After the envoy of the Kuril Islands, the envoys of the Qianguo country stood up and saluted. Road:
"Our country has many mountains and grasslands, and our people are not as talented as people from other countries, but we have a lot of delicious food in our country. So. Today, we specially prepared the most delicious 'moss meat' in our country for the big performance and the envoys of various countries. It's just that I heard that the emperor has always been cautious about his diet, so I don't know His Majesty the emperor. Do you dare to eat it. ”
"Presumptuous! Is this a big show in contempt for me? ”
"A small country in the mountains. Also rampant! ”
The words of the envoy of the Qianguo were too unusual, so when his words fell, it attracted a lot of crusades from the big performance.
"Why should you be angry, we Qianguo people all have one thing to say, and when I say that, I definitely don't mean to despise the emperor. However, we do want to share the unique food of Qianguo, but we are afraid that no one will want to try it. ”
The minister of the Great Performing State has yet to talk about the messenger. saw Qi Yan raise his hand and stop everyone. Qi Yan said:
"Since you have come from afar, you have brought with you the so-called delicious 'moss'. We just give it a try. ”
"Your Majesty ......" and the ministers wanted to stop it, but they were stopped by Qi Yan with a gesture.
"Since Qianguo has come to make a fist, then please bring that food up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, when you try it later, you will know that what I said is true." The envoy of the Qianguo said, and then ordered people to go to the temple.
In accordance with the request of the envoys of the Qianguo, some people brought up the stove and the cauldron, and one person came out of the envoys of the Qianguo. The man was followed by two men carrying a suitcase.
The box was not large, and it did not seem to hold anything, so the two of them put the box on the ground, and the man who came out of the envoy untied a bag from his waist. Spread out the bag on the square table, Shu Jin saw all kinds of knives.
Choppers, boning knives, sliced meat knives as thin as cicada wings, meat hooks, and so on and so forth.
Just by looking at the knife, Shu Jin knew that this was an expert. If it weren't for a good cook, I am afraid I would not have been able to make so many kinds of knives.
"This person looks a little capable." Sure enough, seeing all kinds of knives, Yong Lao couldn't help but look back at Shu Jin. Hearing this, Shu Jin nodded and smiled. Then a few people focused on what the cook of the Qianguo country was going to do next.
The cauldron was already boiling water, but the cook took out a piece of deerskin, and began to wipe his knife slowly, until everyone was so curious about the contents of the box that he wiped all his knives, and then he put down his knife and walked to the box.
Gently raised his hand to open the copper buckle on the box, and the box "snapped" in all directions. A cage is exposed. As soon as the contents of the cage saw the light, it suddenly made a "squeak" sound.
When people looked through the light, they saw a small creature like a tanuki jumping up and down in the cage, trying to escape, and squeaking at the same time.
The cook saw that everyone's eyes were focused on this cage, so he said, "This is an animal unique to my Daqian country, and it is called its pull, and in the words of the Great Performance, it is called 'moss'." It grows in caves on the shady side of the mountains, likes to hide its holes with moss, and is cunning by nature, making it very difficult to catch. Another point of this thing is that it must be eaten immediately after death, and after an hour, the meat will stink, and if you eat it, you will be poisoned to death. ”
So saying, the cook drew a handful from his knife, and continued:
"This moss meat must be cut off from the body of the dead moss and immediately put into boiling water to be delicious, so the knife must be fast." As he spoke, he raised his hand and opened the cage door.
The moss was very fast, and as soon as he saw the cage door open, he immediately rushed out like lightning. The cook, however, seemed to have expected it, and no one saw how his knife was swung down, but he felt that his arm moved, and the moss had run out of the cage three or four meters, and then fell to the ground.
Only then did everyone realize that a red cloth had been placed by the people of Qianguo on the place where the moss had fallen to the ground. Moss fell impartially in the center of the red cloth.
"What's going on? Why doesn't it move? ”
Someone asked strangely.
"Ahh It's bleeding! ”
"No, it's dead!"
Someone shouted like this, and everyone realized that blood was slowly oozing out of the moss's neck and flowing on the red cloth. It was only then that people realized that the moment the moss escaped from the cage, the cook had already slashed its throat and ended its life!
What a fast knife!
"Everyone, because it must be fresh in the pot as soon as possible, so forgive me for disposing of this moss here." (To be continued......)
