Chapter 335: A Night Banquet That Changed the World

Hu Zhen hosted a banquet for King Digab from Africa and King Indian Tagio from North America, saying that it was a banquet, but it was more appropriate to say that it was a small dinner for a few people.

In addition to Hu Zhen, Di Gabu, and Da Jiao, there are also Li Hongzhang, Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire, and Niu Quyun, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

It was a small banquet with only six people in attendance from start to finish.

However, this is a night banquet that will go down in history, and the overall pattern of the whole world's politics, economy, and culture will be completely changed because of this banquet, and the course of world history has undergone earth-shaking changes.

After the banquet begins, it is common for the host to speak, the guests to thank them, and then all the people present toast together, congratulate each other on their common progress, health, family happiness, and national prosperity.

But this is a banquet for the leaders of three countries representing more than a quarter of the world's population in their three countries, and there will be no waste of time.

After the host and guest toasted each other, Hu Zhen walked to his place.

Each person's position is prepared with chopsticks, spoons, Western-style knives and forks, which are prepared by the banquet preparation staff in order to take care of the different living habits of the host and guests, Hu Zhen grabbed the chopsticks without thinking, sandwiched a piece of roast duck, put it in his mouth to taste, and couldn't help but appreciate: "Beijing roast duck, really worthy of the name!" ”

When Digabu and Da Gio walked to their positions, their first habit was to grab something with their hands, but when they saw that the three people on the owner's side all picked up chopsticks to pick up food, they also picked up chopsticks to pick up something to eat.

These days, Di Gabu and Da Ji stayed on the Huaxia Continent, and they also learned to use chopsticks to hold food, although they were not very proficient, but they could barely hold food and put it in their mouths.

"You know what? These chopsticks are a must-have in the life of the Chinese nation, and they are also the strategic weapons of the Chinese nation! In the world, among the four ancient civilizations, only the Chinese nation has been in the same line for 5,000 years, and if there are no chopsticks, the Chinese nation will not be able to do it! Hu Zhen held the chopsticks in his right hand and pointed to the chopsticks with his left hand.

"Ahh Chopsticks are strategic weapons? Not only Di Gabu and Da Geo found it incredible, but even Niu Quyun and Li Hongzhang, who were very familiar with Chinese culture, felt that Hu Zhen's definition of such a high definition of chopsticks was completely incredible.

"Our hands inevitably come into contact with all kinds of objects in our daily life, some of these items may carry infectious diseases, if we take these contaminated items with our hands and then eat food, it is feeding ourselves poison, that is the way to die quickly!"

Di Gabu suddenly realized: "Ah, the Chinese ancestors have used chopsticks to eat since thousands of years ago, so they have avoided many infectious diseases, so they have multiplied for thousands of years, and their descendants have prospered, and now there are 400 million people!" ”

Hu Zhen nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's right, another point is that my Chinese ancestors not only had to drink hot water, but also scalded chopsticks with hot water before eating, which is to isolate the way for germs to spread to themselves."

There is a proof here, it is recorded in the history books that there was a great general of our Chinese nation two thousand years ago, he led his troops to fight at the age of eighteen, dared to rush into the positions of tens of thousands of enemies with 800 cavalry, and was able to return safely ......"

"His Majesty the Emperor is referring to Huo Quai, the greatest warrior in the history of China?" Di Gabu has spent a lot of effort studying Chinese history recently, so he also knows about Huo Qu's deeds.

"That's right, I want to talk about General Huo Quai, he has made great achievements in the Chinese nation, and his grace has been benefiting us two thousand years later, but this great warrior who has no enemy can kill, but unfortunately died of illness at the age of twenty-four, according to historical records, it was because he was infected with a virus when he went out to the northern grasslands, and there is no evidence left in the history books, but it is recorded that once he poured the wine that the emperor gave him into the river, and drank it with tens of thousands of soldiers, Drinking cold water that has not been steamed, boiled and disinfected in this way leaves hidden dangers. ”

Hu Zhen said the story of the origin of the place name of Jiuquan in Gansu Province, and few people would think of drinking cold water to infect the virus.

"Ahh Li Hongzhang and Niu Quyun were obviously inspired by Hu Zhen, Li Hongzhang wanted to say something, but he seemed to be blocked by something in his heart, and he couldn't say it, so Niu Quyun took over the topic:

"The biggest enemies of the Chinese dynasties are the barbarians from the north, but these barbarians neither use chopsticks nor drink hot water, so the plague breaks out from time to time, and the population can't go up, even when China is weak, the northern barbarians invade, but they can't always have an advantage in the population, and the Chinese nation is in danger, in the huge population base, outstanding people with lofty ideals can always be born, saving the Chinese nation from the dire situation!"

Hu Zhen nodded and said: "Minister Niu is right, the reasons for the continuation of my Chinese civilization are mainly these aspects: first, the philosophical thought of Chinese civilization guarantees that it can find a way forward at any time; 2. Stable farming and sufficient grain; 3. Pay attention to health care and breed a huge population base, such as the specific technical means of using chopsticks to drink hot water just mentioned. And the Chinese force is not the main reason, although the northern barbarians are occasionally strong, and even occupy the entire Chinese mainland, but they will never be as prosperous as our Chinese civilization, and its population is even more difficult to surpass our Chinese population, as long as the Chinese civilization breathes a sigh of relief, the end of the northern barbarians will come. ”

"Ahh This is the secret of the longevity of Chinese civilization! ”

As the rulers of a country, they have been thinking about why their country is inferior to others, why they are pressed and beaten by others, and why the Chinese civilization has been able to stand still in the Far East after five thousand years of ups and downs, and today the old tree has grown new branches to grow a powerful Chinese empire, ruling the huge land with the Pacific Ocean as the inner lake.

"I think there is one more thing to add, no matter when the Chinese civilization is in danger, especially when it is in danger, there will always be countless people with lofty ideals who will become the guardians of the Chinese civilization, for the survival of the Chinese civilization, and for future generations to open peace." After a period of silence, Di Gabu sighed, raised his glass, and said to Hu Zhen, Li Hongzhang, and Niu Quyun: "Come, please allow me to toast and salute the three guardians of Chinese civilization!" ”

"Yes, I also toast to the guardian of Chinese civilization!" Grand Gio raised his glass as well. (To be continued.) )
