Chapter 53: Satisfying the cravings of wine and ordering meat, hearing bad news during dinner (II)
When the young man reported the name of the dish for the first time, not only Zhou Zeng was surprised, but even Wang Xuance and others were also surprised. With this young man, after reporting it seriously again, the four of them really heard that there was really this venison, mutton and chicken.
You see, this kind of meat was very rare in the five Indians of the past; The four of them got acquainted and looked at each other, what kind of situation was this?
The young man also seemed to understand their expressions, so he explained: "A few guest officers may not know that the current king of our five India has issued an edict to the whole country and lifted the law of killing and forbidding meat; These days, there are really a lot of guest officers like you! ”
"Okay, well, that's the case, then have a braised venison, stewed mutton, roast two chickens, and some of your store's specialties, a pot of high-quality rice wine" Zhou Zeng couldn't wait to open his mouth and come......
"Okay, guest officer, please wait a minute!" After the young man replied casually, he set out to get ready!
"Oh, this Alonashun can't help it!" Saying that, Zhou Zeng couldn't help it, covered his mouth and laughed!
"Okay, pay attention to your words and deeds, you should eat, drink, and cause less trouble." Wang Xuance said to them quite calmly. Zhou Zeng immediately suppressed his smile and sat upright, waiting for the meal to come.
After a while, the young man had already brought all the delicacies: "Guest officer, this is your dish, please use it slowly!" ”
Looking at such a delicacy, the four of them couldn't believe their eyes, and they all looked at it in a daze. But seeing that this little six looked at Zhou Zeng on the left, Chen Maocai on the right, and then at Wang Xuance, who seemed to be drooling on the other side, he said silently: "Why are you still doing it!" ”
So in an instant, the four of you tore a chicken leg, I got a piece of venison, he took a bite of mutton, and ate it with relish, without the slightest image.
"Eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl is really enjoyable" Zhou Zeng took a big bite of the chicken leg and drank another sip of rice wine, chewing it while wiping the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, and said beautifully. He really eats this way: I don't know the taste of meat for many days, and today I can drink it quickly!
With the advent of noon, there were more guests dining in the wine shop. At this time, they had almost eaten.
At this time, I only listened to the three villagers in their forties and fifties sitting at the table next to them, the eldest of them, chatting like this: "Listen to my son who went to Qunu City a few days ago and come back and say, this envoy of the Tang Kingdom to our five India has been arrested for stealing the king's treasures!" ”
"Is that really the case? The envoys of the Tang Kingdom could do such an indecent deed? The youngest asked!
"It's true, more than 30 people, all of them were captured by King Prader, and they should still be detained here in the Qunu City prison?"
"Tell me, who are the people sent by this Tang Kingdom, the rooster crows and the dog thieves, and the people who steal chickens and touch dogs" The villager in the middle of the age was eating, and he echoed the two of them!
At this time, Zhou Zeng, who was sitting with his back to them, heard these words, gnawed on the chicken's mouth, and stopped instantly. There is also the happiness just now, which turned into anger at this time.
I thought casually in my heart: Damn, what's the matter, how can my dignified envoy of the Tang Kingdom be so slandered? So, he put the chicken thighs on the plate, and then prepared to get up and reason with them. But he was immediately stopped by Wang Xuance: "What are you doing, sit down for me!" ”
Hearing such an indecent voice here, the three villagers were also quite contemptuous. It is completely clear from the way they dress that they are Brahmin people of the upper caste.
When they came in, they ordered all vegetarian food; Seeing these four people eating meat and drinking wine, they were already quite disdainful, so they also despised it very much; Coupled with such an action, he was also quite angry, and looked at them angrily!
Seeing this situation, Wang Xuance hurriedly stood up, gave a salute, and apologized again and again: "He is not sensible, please don't be weird, don't be weird!" The three of them looked Wang Xuance up and down, and saw that he was also a reasonable person, much stronger than this ugly-looking man, so they said: "Although the current king has just lifted the ban on this meat, it is not your way of eating, so it will be punished by Brahma!" ”
Between the words "Ten thousand hopes for Brahma to atone for sins, ten thousand hopes for Brahma to atone for sins", Wang Xuance made a sincere repentance action in accordance with the original etiquette of Brahmanism. So, the three of them didn't want to say anything, so they motioned for Wang Xuance to sit down and continue eating!
Looking at Wang Xuance who was sitting down, Zhou Zeng still said quite angrily: "Big brother, this, this, this, alas, ......"
"Just say a few words, the big guys know it in their hearts," Chen Maocai also glared at him.
At this time, the three villagers who only listened to and resumed talking, the youngest one, then asked: "Come on, tell me what other interesting things are in this Qunu City?" ”
I saw the eldest one, and after thinking about it, he said, "This is really there!" I heard that in the offensive and defensive battle of this female city, our king, the former minister of state, Alonashun, is really brave. He commanded 20,000 troops defending the city and defeated the eleven-nation alliance led by Queen Raga Sri herself. ”
"What, what, the Eleven-Nation Alliance, defeated by 20,000 men," the youngest asked, still curious?
"Isn't it, I've heard that the queen has more than 50,000 troops! However, this king has the blessing of Brahma, and I heard that a gust of wind came in the middle of the battle, as if it was a god descending from heaven, and he helped the king defeat the queen," the villager in the middle of the age added casually!
"Oh," the youngest villager couldn't help but let out such an exclamation sound......
This miraculous word made Wang Xuance and others quite disdainful in their hearts. Although they have eaten almost, because of the things that these villagers are talking about, they are closely related to them. Therefore, the four of them pretended not to eat well, and continued to eat while listening to their chat......
"What about after the queen is defeated?"
"I heard that the queen was under the city of Qunu, and after her great defeat, she retreated to his kingdom of Zaibi; Not only did the eleven-nation alliance not survive, but it was like a tree falling apart, and the eleven-nation alliance immediately fell apart, leaving the queen's 5,000-strong army alone."
"So vulnerable? What kind of coalition is this? ”
"Isn't it, so compared to the king's heavenly army and resourcefulness, the queen is really a piece of cake."
"That's true! In the past, when the king was the prime minister, he was always invincible and invincible, and the queen was an egg touching a stone, and she would definitely be defeated."
The editor said: What can best reveal the people's hearts and minds is this rumor~ What impact will these rumors have on Wang Xuance and them? Please take a look at the next ~
