Chapter 501: Choking Cao Cao to death
According to the Chinese tradition, guests cannot talk about serious things on the first day of arrival, of course, they must have a large banquet, entertain them, and then take the guests to visit their own residence and the beautiful scenery around them, which is called relaxation.
The banquet for Cao Cao was absolutely sumptuous and the rules of the entire banquet were still in accordance with the rules of the princes' meeting.
Lu Peng took out the most solemn etiquette of nine bins.
"The Gift of Nine Guests" is the most solemn etiquette in ancient China. It was originally a special ceremony for the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to receive the princes of the world. First of all, nine ceremonial officials lined up from the inside of the hall to the outside, and when they greeted the guests, they called loudly, and passed down from top to bottom, with a majestic voice.
According to the ancient rites, the "gift of nine bins" can only be used by Zhou Tianzi, but in the Warring States Period, the Zhou Dynasty declined, the princes were hegemonic, and the "gift of nine bins" was also used by the princes, and it evolved into a kind of highest diplomatic etiquette for the vassal states to receive foreign envoys. Up to now, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has become a tablet under the fence, and he can't control this set of etiquette.
Lu Peng was in the east, Cao Cao strode up to the hall in the west, and then first gave his hand outside the door, and after entering the door, he gave his hand again, walked to the position specially set up for the two of them, and then gave his hand, which is called three courtesies and three concessions.
Then ask Cao Cao to sit in the west, facing the east, which is the most honorable position, and Lü Peng to sit in the east, facing the west, which is the host's position, and there is nothing left on it, in principle, it is the position of the emperor who does not exist on the top.
Then the bell rings and the food begins.
According to the etiquette, the Son of Heaven enjoys the nine tripods and eight tripods, and Lu Peng is in accordance with the etiquette of the princes, and entertains Cao Cao, that is, the seven tripods and six tripods, which correspond to each other are cattle, sheep, pigs, fish, wax, sausages, and skin.
The following are according to the grade, five tripods and four tripods, three tripods and two tripods, and finally one tripod.
The whole process shows the high standard of this reception, and Lu Peng's respect for Cao Cao. At the same time, he is also using this method to declare to Cao Cao and the world that he is also a prince, and you should not take bean bags for dry food.
There are many kinds of dishes, but in the end, the most basic dish is the yam that the rest of Youzhou sells.
After the last yam crisis, after Lu Peng's big banquet and the launch of an endless stream of yam feasts, the yam cuisine in Youzhou has become a main dish famous all over the world.
This time to entertain the warlords from other places, of course, Lu Peng spared no effort to continue to promote his brand, it was really beef yam, mutton yam, pork yam, fried yam, stewed yam, slippery yam, stewed yam, yam bun, yam rice, anyway, the table was full of all kinds of yams, but indeed, the renovated yam dishes made Cao Cao and his party satisfied, in their opinion, this is their own mouth.
And look at the officials at all levels in Youzhou, the food can not be more elegant, one by one chopsticks slow use, each chopsticks down, is a dragonfly water, a small piece of yam, but also Sven to Cao Cao's subordinates after the mouth, and then close their eyes and chew slowly, which has to make Cao Cao's subordinates sigh, I didn't expect that the subordinates of Lu Peng, the child of the mountains, turned out to be humble gentlemen.
But in fact, after the flood of yam, Lu Peng's territory forcibly introduced various digestion methods to solve the problem of low yam prices hurting farmers, after opening vermicelli wine, Lu Peng and their subordinates actively played the true character of the Han people foodies, and solved the problem of yam prices with their mouths, which was the last yam, the next yam, so there was a Sven that everyone did not eat, but was really sick to the stomach, and ate fiercely, everyone was afraid of vomiting on the spot.
"When Cao Cao went back, our return gift was to give him a hundred carts of yams and let him eat until he vomited." Lu Peng, who was vomiting in the toilet, instructed the guards around him.
The second thing, of course, is to lead these distinguished guests to visit the mountains and rivers, which is considered a publicly-funded tour.
Taking Cao Cao like some other businessmen who came here to climb the gold mountain in front of the household department, this method is not good, vulgar, vulgar. Elegant people have to do elegant things, so Lu Peng took Cao Cao to climb Jieshi Mountain.
The distance between Jieshi Mountain and the sea is only four miles, looking at the black and secluded sea water, constantly beating the shore, looking at the two abrupt Jieshi stones in the sea, how can it not make people think about it?
"In the face of such a grand occasion, doesn't Cao Gong have a well-known masterpiece?" Lu Peng solemnly seduced like this.
At this time, it was already dark night, and the sea was confused between the stars and the stars, no matter who stood on this high point, they would have infinite emotion, not to mention this brilliant writer, the future poet, military strategist, thinker, and Cao Cao of a certain family.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Cao was in high spirits, and after thinking silently in his heart, he puffed up his chest-
"As the owner, I am still a junior brother, of course I have to do it first, thinking that I will throw bricks and lead to jade." Lu Peng smiled and stopped Cao Cao, who was about to express his feelings.
This is understandable, and indeed the most modest of etiquette.
Cao Cao smiled and stretched out his hand: "Then please ask the virtuous brother to show his ambitions." ”
After Lu Peng did enough work, he did not give in, faced the sea of stars, and sang loudly: "The east is adjacent to the Jieshi, to watch the sea."
The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging. The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The north wind is sluggish, and the waves are surging. The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it; The stars are splendid, if out of it. Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. ”
Cao Cao didn't catch it in one breath, and almost choked there.
Lu Peng looked at Cao Cao's embarrassment with a wicked smile, and he was quite proud in his heart, plagiarism, piracy, and plagiarism and piracy in front of the original author, just before he had already typed the manuscript, what a proud thing it was.
I can't suffocate you, Lu Peng's proud little shoulders shrugged, and he laughed with a quack.
It was precisely because of this poem that it immediately spread to the world, making Lu Peng famous all over the world overnight, and finally recognized by various literati that Lu Peng was a scribe and an elegant person.
Regarding Lü Peng's origin, Lü Peng and his subordinates tried their best to publicize to the world that he was the descendant of Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, in order to improve his status in this era of emphasizing status.
However, Lu Peng and his subordinates tried their best to publicize, but the effect was not great, and few of them took this inconsequential and unfounded thing seriously.
Therefore, the world's wealthy families and literati are perfunctory and flattering on the surface, because Lu Peng is now powerful, but in the mainland, they are full of contempt for Lu Peng and ostracize him, and they all call him a country boy, thinking that what he has achieved today is just God's favor and hitting shit luck.
This is like Liu Bei's current situation, everyone said that he was a member of the Han family, but everyone thought he was a straw shoe seller, until one day, Emperor Han Xian was above the court, really checked the family tree of the clan, and called him an imperial uncle, everyone really respected him, and Zhuge Liang was really willing to assist him.
Now Lu Peng's poem has played this role, because this poem is indeed too gorgeous and magnificent, and a mountain village man really can't do it.
In a spoof situation of bad taste, Lu Peng definitely did not expect such a great effect.
