Chapter 1153 Adults Don't Do Multiple Choice Questions

"Your Majesty, our Daqin not only has exquisite porcelain, crystal clear glass, exquisite and luxurious silk, Johnson & Johnson's tea leaves, but also all kinds of fine wines, the set of crystal glass wine glasses we brought is actually not used to drink your kind of milk wine, but to drink wine ......"

Li Shun was thinking about how to seduce Antiochus III while thinking about it in his heart, and a group of translators next to him also hurriedly translated Li Shun's words word by word.

"Oh~" Antiochus III looked at Li Shun in surprise, then looked at the wine glass in his hand, and shook his head slightly drunk, "Our camel milk wine is the most precious and best-tasting wine in Persia, and the winemakers of the court are highly skilled, and they are the grandsons of the imperial winemakers of Alexander the Great......"

"Your Majesty, I'm not bragging to you, if you drink our Daqin's fine wine, you will feel that the best camel milk wine is about the same as urine." Li Shun shook his head very facelessly.

And after Li Shun's vulgar words were confirmed by the two groups of translators, the queen and the two concubines sitting next to Antiochus couldn't help but cover their mouths and blushed with shame.

Being slapped in the face so nakedly made Antiochus III very unhappy, he slowly put down the silver wine glass, a trace of annoyance appeared on his young and domineering face, and his tone became much colder, "Of course, you Daqin have exquisite porcelain glass and silk, but it may not be that we have no exquisite utensils when we rest in peace, I have drunk countless fine wines, the wine you said is available to the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, but compared with camel milk wine, it is too far behind, and your Daqin's wine is only so ......."

"I know that Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but if Your Majesty is willing to make a bet with me, if Your Majesty wins, then after I return to Daqin, I will let the caravan send you a hundred exquisite silks for free, but if I win, Your Majesty will first pay me 3,000 gold coins in advance as the payment for the purchase of silk, and when I return to Daqin, I will arrange for the caravan to be sent to you, what do you think?"

"Really?" Antiochus III's face instantly turned to joy.

"A promise of a thousand gold is the best quality of our Great Qin people, if I have a bad character, His Majesty the First Emperor will not give me such an important task of envoying your country, we have traveled more than 20,000 miles and worked hard to reach your country, we must not come to lie, but for the most precious friendship between the two countries, you have a sentence in peace: never be friends with a liar. So please believe in my character! ”

"Okay, I believe you, but how did you let me taste the wine of Daqin, I hope you don't perfunctory me with the wine of the Egyptians that I bought in peace......"

"Don't worry, our Daqin's wine is different, Liu Tongyi, please go to the hotel and get the bottle of Qinghe wine I hid in the suitcase, by the way, there is also mahjong ......," Li Shun said to an official from the Pawn Office next to him.

"Qinghe wine?!" Several officials of the mission who came with them all looked at Li Shun in amazement.

Mahjong they all know, this road trekking through mountains and rivers, lost a lot of pack horses and luggage on the way, and even died more than a dozen people, but the only pair of mahjong is well protected, this is the only spiritual food on the road, every time you settle down in a safe place to rest will play mahjong pastime to express your hometown of missing, officials and servants and the forbidden army will visit and bet in batches, so this road is thousands of miles, this precious mahjong is the treasure of the entire mission, one hundred and thirty-six cards have not been lost, Even the marks of bruises are few.

And along the way, they also taught the kings and nobles of more than ten countries such as Dawan, Kangju, and Daxia to play mahjong, and profoundly carried forward the concept of Qinghehou asking to spread the culture of Daqin, and the magical game of mahjong also aroused the nobles and kings of the countries along the way, and the monarch of Daxia even warmly invited the officials of the mission to live in the palace for two days, and instructed his imperial craftsmen to create a pair of pure silver mahjong with silver, and finally each mission official also gave a gold mahjong, each weighing five taels, Very hospitable.

However, there was no alcohol in the salute carried by the mission.

Looking at the appearance of a group of mission officials, Li Shun laughed a few times and said: "Hehe, a bottle sent by Qinghe Hou before leaving, a certain has been hidden in the suitcase and is reluctant to drink, go and get it!" ”

"Why did Qinghe Hou secretly give you a bottle of fine wine?" Liu Tongyi couldn't help but speak.

Li Shun's cheeks twitched, and his face turned a little black and said: "Before leaving, the Hou Ye said to me that going to the West is both a journey of glory and death, and maybe I will encounter misfortune, so I specially gave me a bottle of wine and said that if I want to die, I will drink a sip to relieve my hunger, so as not to become a lonely ghost who misses his hometown and cannot be at peace after death!" ”

A group of officials: ......

"Master Hou is too eccentric!" Liu Tongyi muttered, stood up and left with a chamberlain.

Twenty minutes later, in the anticipation of a group of people, the two went and returned, the waiter held the mahjong box, Liu Tongyi handed a wooden box in his arms to Li Shun, Li Shun opened the wooden box, opened the tightly wrapped oilcloth, poured out the stuffed reed flowers, and took out a beautiful porcelain vase from it.

"Wow, @^@......" Looking at this exquisite wine bottle, the prince and the two concubines of Antioch couldn't help but stand up in surprise, and they couldn't take their eyes away.

Antioch was also a little excited in an instant, this Daqin was really different, the wine bottles were more expensive than all the utensils in his palace, and the gold and silver tableware on the table at the moment looked extremely tacky in an instant.

"Boom~~"

Li Shun carefully scraped off the wax seal with the silver knife on the dining table, then opened the cork cork, and as a few drops of red wine spilled out, a faint crisp aroma of wine instantly spread in the air.

"Your Majesty, please go and clean the glass wine glass given by His Majesty the First Emperor yesterday and bring it, this grape wine should be drunk in a crystal wine glass to be the most authentic and delicious!" Li Shun sniffed lightly at the mouth of the bottle, and was instantly a little intoxicated.

Two years...... It's been two years, and I finally smell the wine again.

Liu Tongyi and several other officials of the mission also twitched their nostrils with throbbing expressions almost at the same time, carefully savoring this long-lost taste of hometown.

I'd rather have a twist of soil in my hometown than a thousand taels of gold in another country!

This is the earnest teaching of the Marquis of Qinghe before leaving.

But for Li Shun, it is the soil of his hometown that he thinks, and he also thinks about the ten thousand taels of gold in his hometown, this is not a multiple-choice question that cannot be both, as a mature adult, he generally does not do multiple-choice questions, and multiple-choice questions are the only things that primary school students do.

Compared with Daqin, there is indeed nothing commendable about the Western countries, which is synonymous with primitive and barbarism, and Daqin's steel, cement, porcelain, glass, silk, tea, steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles, and fine wine are all absent here, not to mention the high-end facilities such as cement roads, Keju Square, and four-wheeled carriages, newspapers.

If it had been placed ten years ago, Li Shun might not have had this kind of thought, but now, compared with the situation he saw in the Western countries, the development of Great Qin has made him deeply appreciate the great changes brought by the Marquis of Qinghe to Great Qin, which is the gap between the two completely different eras.

If you compare it in another ten years, Li Shun himself can't imagine how big the gap between the two is.

In view of the exquisite packaging of the wine, the queen of Antioch went to fetch the glasses herself, and ten minutes later she carried six cleaned glasses on a golden tray and placed them on the table, and Li Shun stood up and poured the wine.

A bottle of Qinghe wine is only two catties, and if it is poured six cups, it is almost gone, so Li Shun only poured a third of each cup, and as this red wine was poured into the crystal clear glass, an incomparably clear and fruity taste mixed with grapes emanated in an instant, and countless exclamations suddenly sounded in the sunny palace garden.

Li Shun ignored everyone's surprise and commotion, put the wine bottle on the cap, picked up a glass and returned to his seat, shook it gently for half a minute, sniffed it slightly, and then took a small sip elegantly, wrapped it in his mouth and gently soaked it in his mouth, and then slowly went down his teeth and cheeks and tongue into his throat.

"Whew~~Delicious~~"

After a long time, Li Shun took a long breath and opened his slightly closed eyes, with an incomparably comfortable face, it seemed that after the afterglow of this sip of wine melted into his soul, Li Shun smiled and spoke, "Your Majesty, this is the most precious grape wine in Daqin, unparalleled in the world, and this bottle of wine is also a gift from Qinghehou, the left prime minister of the Great Qin Empire before leaving, I carefully cared for it all the way, trekked through mountains and rivers and experienced 20,000 miles of hardships, Your Majesty can see and taste its unique flavor today......"

Li Shun turned the wine bottle over, looked at the 29th year of the first emperor at the bottom of the bottle, and pointed out to Antioch and his queen and concubine with great emotion, "Your Majesty, please see, this bottle of wine was brewed five years ago, aged in the ice cellar for five years, and a bottle is worth at least 100 gold coins......"

After listening to the translation, Antioch, who was holding the wine glass, trembled slightly, and several drops of red wine came out of it.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be surprised, this kind of wine can't be bought in Daqin even if you have money, only the emperor and a few nobles can drink it, today I ask Your Majesty to taste it, and see if it's my Daqin's wine delicacy or the Egyptian wine you said is delicious......"

Li Shun made a gesture of please, he didn't know that there was wine in the West before, and even if he knew, he would only disdain it, Qinghe Wine was brewed by the immortal disciple Qinghe Hou using the spells taught by the immortals, how could the messy wine brewed by these barbarians in the West be compared? In particular, these so-called mare's milk wine, goat's milk wine, and camel milk wine, all have a special taste, sour and sassy, if they are placed in Daqin, it is estimated that no one wants to drink them.

Antioch waited for his mood to slowly calm down, picked up the glass, followed Li Shun's movements, shook it gently, and then sniffed slightly, and then took a sip, and then at the moment of the drink, his body suddenly shook and his eyes widened, and his surprised movements almost shook the golden crown on his head.
