Chapter 856: Sour Plum Juice
Looking at the food Supreme Treasure at this table, a foodie like Supreme Treasure hadn't eaten a serious meal for a long time, and couldn't help but want to taste the food of the Nanchu court.
"Everyone, don't sit still, everyone move chopsticks, to be honest, this is my first time in Nanchu, oh it's the first time I've seen so many exquisite delicacies in Nanchu. Our comrades in the People's Liberation Army should not have seen so many delicacies! Let's taste the delicacies of this palace. Lu Xiaoyu moved his chopsticks first.
The Supreme Treasure was just about to move the chopsticks, but Chen Hongliang stopped: "Chairman, wait a minute to eat!" ”
"What? Master Chen, didn't you just pull me to the banquet? Why aren't you letting me eat it now? Could it be that these dishes can only be seen and not eaten? Supreme Treasure said unhappily.
Chen Hongliang smiled awkwardly and said: "Xia Guan didn't mean this, it's just that the chairman finally came to our Jingzhou, before this banquet starts, the adults should always give us a speech, everyone can raise a glass and drink together before the banquet can be held, this is in line with the rules!" ”
"Where are there so many rules? Your Excellency is not your Southern Chu Dynasty now, have you seen the flag hanging on the palace wall? It is the national flag of our Yanhuang People's Republic, which symbolizes a new republic, and it is necessary to abandon these bad habits of the past. The rules are not so important here, you just treat us as our own relatives, and those red tape and Confucianism can be saved! Lu Xiaoyu had already unceremoniously moved his chopsticks first, took a bite of the grilled chicken thigh, and said nonchalantly.
Seeing that those ministers shook their heads, they really didn't know the general situation at all! Supreme Treasure smiled and said to the ministers: "My lords, my lords have seen it, our General Lu is not humble in his birth, he is the descendant of the public loss class. It's just that I've been living in isolation from the world, so I don't know much about these people. Since you would like me to give a speech, I will make a few brief remarks so that you can listen to it while you eat without being too restrained. ”
Most of the people in the People's Liberation Army are from ordinary people's backgrounds, and whoever eats a meal at home has to give a speech before they can eat, and they don't take this seriously, even if it is the Supreme Treasure who speaks now, they only think that it is their own family members who speak there without the slightest restraint. And those old ministers of Nanchu are different, they deal with them every day, and the most important thing is these red tape, they originally envisioned that when everyone raised their glasses and drank together, they were all poisoned to death, but now they found that the script was not acting according to what they said. Fortunately, the Supreme Treasure was still relatively easy to talk to, and agreed to their request.
"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, old ministers of the former Southern Chu, this time we can successfully liberate the whole of Southern Chu, of course, there is still one Henan that has not been liberated, but I think there should not be too much time, Xiang Yu will play with fire sooner or later. These successes would not have been possible without the efforts of all of us. When I first arrived in Wuyue, when the People's Liberation Army was not called the People's Liberation Army and the Flying Tiger Army established by Xiaoyu, we had less than 2,000 people when we added the old, weak, sick and disabled troops. Fortunately, with the help of the Mongol Heavenly Khan, I borrowed 10,000 Mengying troops and the support of the local people of Wuyue to form a strong army...... Finally, I would like to thank these two good comrades-in-arms Xiao He and Lu Xiaoyu beside me, with you, our People's Liberation Army can go more smoothly to today, and I thank you for your efforts on behalf of the people of the whole republic. ”
Supreme Treasure originally just wanted to say something casually, but as soon as the box was opened, the past came up in a rush, if it weren't for the increasingly dark faces of those Nanchu old ministers and the soldiers below who were about to be told to cry by themselves, he was ready to continue talking!
"Okay, that's all for today! In the future, after the liberation of Henan, we will have a good celebration banquet, and now everyone will eat first! I guess everyone is already hungry, and I can't stop as soon as I open my mouth, so don't be surprised. ”
"No, no, you show your true feelings, we were moved by the courtiers of Nanchu in the past, and now it's too late to be happy to be able to return to the Republic, how can you complain about the Lord **** Have you forgotten, should we have a drink together to meet the current mood." Chen Hongliang proposed.
"I think it's better to forget about drinking, a few adults may not know the military regulations of our People's Liberation Army, that is, you can't drink alcohol when you are marching and fighting. As a general of the People's Liberation Army and the chairman of the Republic, I should set an example, I don't think I will drink this wine, let's have a banquet directly! Supreme Treasure glanced down at the wine that Chen Hongliang poured for himself, and he had already seen that there was a problem in the wine, and they had been urging themselves to drink, didn't they poison the wine and want to poison me? I won't be fooled easily, and I'll see what they do next.
Seeing that the Supreme Treasure didn't drink, Chen Hongliang was a little at a loss, but fortunately, the Hua Taiyi next to him came forward at this time and said: "Since the chairman said that the march can't drink, let's not embarrass him, but at the banquet, we still have to drink something with tea instead of wine." It just so happens that Xiaguan has recently personally concocted a drink that can quench your thirst in summer, called iced sour plum juice, please take a look. ”
As he spoke, Doctor Hua ordered a large jar to be served, and countless ice cubes were placed around the jar to cool it down. The rarity of ice cubes in ancient times was known, and only now there are conditions to store ice cubes in the palace.
Hua Taiyi smiled and uncovered the seal on the big jar, and a unique fragrance of plums immediately came to his nose, and the Supreme Treasure couldn't help but close his eyes and sniff hard, "What a fresh feeling!" This is sour plum juice? ”
"That's right, Chairman Qiqi, this is the chilled sour plum juice I specially developed, which is made from fresh black plum, dried hawthorn, tangerine peel, licorice, roselle, dried osmanthus, etc. After boiling it into juice, it can be chilled with ice cubes to keep it cold, and when you drink it, you will feel completely refreshed and refreshed. Chairman, come and give it a try! Saying that, Doctor Hua personally poured a cup for the Supreme Treasure and offered it with both hands.
When he was a child, he often drank this sour plum juice when there were no various cold drinks on the market, and it can be said that the sour plum juice was a drink that grew with his childhood. Now that he actually saw it again in Nanchu, thousands of years ago, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, all the memories of his childhood came to his heart, and he reached out to take the cup of sour plum juice.
