Chapter 410: Sight and Hearing (1)
The banquet was very rich, perhaps under the influence of Wang Lang, although the dishes of the Xia Kingdom were not as colorful as those of the Chinese of the other world, but whether it was stir-fried or stewed, after so many years of development, it brought a unique food culture to the people of the Xia Kingdom.
On each individual table is four dishes and one soup, a glazed wine bottle and bronze wine glass are placed in the corner of the table, and a pair of chopsticks are neatly arranged.
Sun Lin saw that it was almost over, and said: "The two of you have come from afar, don't talk about anything else today, you're welcome, taste the delicious food of our Xia Kingdom." ”
Fang Shaoshi translated Sun Lin's words.
After the two of them expressed their gratitude to Sun Lin, they looked at the extremely tempting food in front of them, and they didn't know how to eat it for a while.
Dehaborah was a little unhappy in his heart, there were no utensils on this table, did these humans plan to let them eat with their hands, not to mention the problem of whether it was rude or not, that is, the steaming food in front of him, if he grabbed it with his hands, he must not burn off a layer of skin.
looked at Nuru, only to see that Nuru looked at the food in front of him and was at a loss.
Fang Shaoshi took a sip of wine to himself, took a drink gap with satisfaction, glanced at the two of them, and saw that they were looking at each other, and immediately understood.
took out a pen and paper from his arms, wrote a few words, and handed them to Sun Lin.
After taking the note, Sun Lin glanced at it, and suddenly said to the two of them: "It's because I didn't think it through, and I forgot that you are not used to chopsticks." ”
After speaking, he asked the chef to bring tableware such as spoons and knives and forks, although the main tableware in Xia Guo is chopsticks, but things like knives and forks are better than chopsticks when eating some special foods.
Seeing the new tableware, the faces of the two Nulu looked better, and the other party and Sun Lin expressed their gratitude when they were young.
Newru carefully scooped a small spoonful of small white cubes of food with a spoon and sniffed it with his nose, a smell he had never smelled before, and the wonderful smell made his stomach gurgle.
Put the food in the spoon into your mouth, and your eyes will open instantly.
Those white squares were very soft, it could be said that they melted in the mouth, and the unique fragrance filled his taste buds, and after eating several spoonfuls in succession, he put down the spoon and said to Sun Lin: "May I ask what kind of food this is, I have never experienced such a unique taste." ”
After Fang Shaoshi finished translating, Sun Lin said: "This thing is called tofu, and the two of you are satisfied with it." ”
"Tofu!" Muttered to himself, noting down the name.
"The Xia Kingdom has such delicious food, which is really a blessing for the subjects of your country." Nuru sighed.
Sun Lin said disapprerovingly: "It's just a little bit of a mouthful, it's not worth mentioning, come, let's have a drink." ”
After speaking, Sun Lin poured himself a glass of wine and raised his glass.
Wine, Newru is naturally no stranger, with the food at the bottom, he also poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass, drank it all, and the spicy water ran down his throat, which was indescribably refreshing.
"Good wine!" Nuru said excitedly.
Fang Shaoshi said: "Although the wine of Xia Kingdom is not as many as that of the Old Continent, it has a unique taste in the mouth, especially with these dishes, it is a wonderful match. ”
Dehabora glanced at Fang Shaoshi lightly, and said in his heart: "This guy really thinks of himself as a human being, and the beauty of Shi Lun is really a group of cheap bones." ”
Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't see any abnormality in my expression.
Nuru smiled and said: "You are right, the wine of this Xia country is indeed different from the old continent, whether it is Shi Lunjia or Dekangba's wine is not so strong, maybe those countries in the northernmost country can compete with this wine." ”
The banquet was very pleasant, the two sides discussed the customs of their respective countries, the different cultural differences, so that both sides were very curious about each other, when they heard that there was another powerful race further east, the human officials present were extremely shocked.
For them at the bottom of the ranks, they can't touch too many things, these things are no longer a secret at the top of the Xia Kingdom, but for them, it is the first time they have heard of it, and they are even more frightened by the complicated situation in this world.
As an explorer, Nuru told about what he had seen and heard outside, and under Fang Shaoshi's quick translation, everyone listened fascinated, imagining the colorful world outside with a faint sense of wine, and couldn't help but admire the alien race in front of them.
After going through hardships just to see this wonderful world, and even risking his life to come to the human world, think about it from another perspective, everyone thinks that they can't do this.
After the feast, Nuru and Dehapola were arranged into the courtyard next to the county office, and for the next three days, accompanied by human officials, the two visited Ningyuan County.
This quiet seaside town left a deep impression on the two.
During the visit, Nuru did not see any beggars, even ordinary people with disabilities, can find a job, earn money to support themselves, and from Fang Shaoshi, I heard that the Xia court has a subsidy policy for these disabled people, although the money is not much, but from this point it can be seen that the people of Xia are really much happier than Dekangba.
And more importantly, there is no slave class in the Xia Kingdom, even if it is the entourage of officials, it is all arranged by the imperial court, and it is the royal court's money, which is just a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Three days later, for the sake of safety, Sun Lin asked the two Nulu to leave some of their retinue in Ningyuan County, and they could only take fifty retinues to the capital.
Although De Compola was reluctant, Nuru agreed without hesitation.
Out of Ningyuan County, it is a vast wilderness, the Xia country is vast and sparsely populated, and every city gathers far away, if it weren't for Wang Lang's incomparable importance to building roads from before the founding of the country, Xia has such a small population, it is impossible to control the vast territory of weapons.
Sitting on the deer cart, Newru took out the animal skin scroll from the wooden box he carried with him, and began to write down what he had seen along the way with a very peculiar pen, and everything he had experienced in the past few days left a deep impression on him.
In the vast wilderness, a few wild beasts occasionally passed by, glanced at the human team from a distance, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye, as if they had never appeared.
The beautiful scenery outside the car window, looking at Newru was fascinated and inspired, and he wrote a dinosaur-man style poem in the blank space of the animal skin reel, closed the reel, looked at the endless wilderness ahead, and muttered, "What a great place to be!" ”
