Chapter 435: Breakfast on an airship
On the poisonous ocean, a huge fleet of 100 warships sailed on the ocean, and several airships flew in the sky.
On one of the airships was an important figure, the Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and with him was the exiled princess of the Baicheng Dynasty, Aithea.
Althea woke up a long time ago, lying on the porthole and looking at the scenery outside with great interest, she tried not to make a sound, but in the end she woke up Liu Xie.
Liu Xie looked at the silhouette of Aisia and felt that she was so beautiful that he couldn't help but look at it stupidly.
Aithea found that Liu Xie was looking at her, so she talked, but unfortunately there was no translator on the side, Liu Xie couldn't understand what she said, and Aithea pointed out the window excitedly, Liu Xie understood what she meant, and asked him to accompany her to see the scenery, so he sat beside her, hugged her and looked out the window, the scenery on the sea.
The vast sea, the sailing fleet, the flying airship, the picture is very beautiful, no wonder Althea is obsessed, but from Liu Xie's point of view, he thinks it is even more beautiful.
Liu Xie took her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the front to see, the scenery will be more beautiful." ”
Althea couldn't understand what he was saying, but when she saw that he was reaching out to pull him, she followed him, except for the living compartment, to the front flight cockpit.
The airship thing, don't look at it as the boss in the sky, but the cabin is relatively small, and the airship that can accommodate thirty people is already considered a giant.
Fortunately, this airship is not fully loaded, which makes it a little spacious.
After a while, they came to the cockpit, and the crew saluted, and Liu Xie asked them to be exempted.
Since the airship is continuously flying on the sea and there is no chance to land, the crew's excrement problem will be reasonably disposed of, and the altitude will be lowered regularly, and the feces collected by the airship when going to the toilet will be discharged directly into the sea.
So don't worry about the airship flying for a long time, and the crew will have some problems shooting.
But said that Liu Xie took Aithea to the cockpit, took her to the window, and asked her to see the scenery ahead, Aithea was even more excited, and at this moment there was also a translator by her side, so Aithea's voice of admiration while looking at the scenery, Shangguan Yu could also understand.
The guards brought breakfast, and Shangguan Yu specially explained to bring a spoon over, because he knew that Aithea couldn't use chopsticks, so he could only use a spoon, and Shangguan Yu specially explained to provide Chinese breakfast: millet porridge, steamed buns and salted cowpeas.
Porridge was available when the Yellow Emperor was very good, and steamed buns were invented by Zhuge Liang, and in the original history, Zhuge Liang invented them when he captured Meng Shu in the seventh time.
Liu Xie knew this stalk, but Zhuge Liang didn't know it, because there were still twenty years before the seven captures of Meng Shu in the original history, so the current Zhuge Liang didn't know about the seven captures of Meng Shu.
However, if the economy of the Han Dynasty was to develop, it was necessary to reform the primitive catering industry. At that time, the staple food of the Han Dynasty was dough cakes except rice, and there were no steamed buns.
Liu Xie wanted to develop steamed bread, but he knew that steamed bread was originally invented by Zhuge Liang, and secretly reminded Zhuge Liang that Zhuge Liang was originally very smart and could understand everything, and he actually invented steamed bread thirty years earlier than the original history.
After Zhuge Liang invented steamed buns, Zhang Zhongjing invented dumplings, and then various delicacies continued to emerge.
And this morning's breakfast has allusions to porridge and steamed buns, and even the salted cowpeas that accompany the meal have a history.
Cowpea first appeared in Africa and was introduced to China in the Sui Dynasty, but that was the original history, and in the current history, with Lu Xun's voyage around the world, cowpeas were brought back to the Eastern Han Dynasty a few years ago, so the current Han people can eat cowpeas.
Not only cowpeas, but also many other things came to the Eastern Han Dynasty much earlier than the original history.
For example, sweet potatoes came to China in the 16th century in the original history, carrots were introduced in the 13th century, corn entered China in the 16th century, tomatoes entered China in the 17th century, and so on.
Even coffee, tobacco, cocoa beans, and other unimaginable things, the Eastern Han Dynasty also owned them all. So in Luoyang, which has a reputation as the center of the world, you can go to the tea house to drink tea, or you can go to a café for coffee.
Think about it, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, what kind of scene it would be to wear Hanfu and enter a Han-style café to drink coffee.
In addition to coffee and the introduction of tobacco, many Han people also began to smoke cigarettes and tobacco pouches, but the Eastern Han Dynasty had a strict anti-smoking system.
These are all off-topic, but it is said that there is a dining table near the porthole in the cockpit, and Liu Xie pulled Aithea to sit down at the dining table, leaning against the porthole, which can not only have breakfast together, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.
Breakfast was served, two bowls of porridge, two steamed buns, and a plate of salted cowpeas. Because I grabbed it with my hands yesterday, I was told by Liu Xie, and now I see breakfast, although I am a little hungry, but Aisia still doesn't dare to eat rashly.
Liu Xie said: "In our Han Dynasty, not only the royal family and nobles, but even the ordinary people are very good at dining. You know why? ”
Aithea shook her head and said, "I don't know. ”
Looking at Liu Xie with clear and beautiful eyes, Liu Xie couldn't bear to lecture her in his heart, but the current Princess Aisia has been fortunate by herself, then she will be his woman in the future, and his woman can't eat with her hands like a primitive person, in that case, isn't it even as good as the most ordinary Hanmin?
So to continue, Liu Xie said: "Because food is the most beautiful thing that God has given us, it not only makes me full, but also makes us feel comfortable and enjoyed. So we need to have the utmost respect for food. ”
Aithea said curiously, "Food is meant to be eaten by us, if you want to respect it, then don't eat it." But in that case, I'll starve to death. ”
Liu Xie felt the difficulty for the first time, to make a beautiful princess change her living habits, he felt that it was even more difficult than studying fighter jets, and couldn't help but pat his head.
Looking at the beauty in front of her, this is the second largest beauty in the group spectrum and the first in the South Asian subcontinent! A beautiful woman who has been kissed by the goddess of the moon. Thinking about her eating with her hands, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
Althea couldn't help but laugh. Liu Xie glared at her and said, "You're still smiling!" ”
"Okay, I'm not smiling," Aithia grabbed Liu Xie's hand and said, "I listen to you, I don't have to eat with my hands in the future, I want to learn to use chopsticks, knives and forks, and be an elegant and beautiful woman." ”
"That's like a word," Liu Xie said, "You can use a spoon for porridge, but you can't grab it with your hands, and as for steamed buns, you can't use chopsticks, so use gloves." ”
