Chapter 6 Three cups of chrysanthemum tea
After a while, all the people attending the banquet arrived, and the shed was messy, and there were many discussions, and there was everything, but the most talked about was about the extravagant style of Banpo dolphin. The guests who came from afar were amazed and envious of the life of Banpo dolphins, saying that they did not expect that in such a remote place, these tribesmen could also develop the tribe so well, which is really amazing.
I don't know why, after Jiang Li heard this, he actually blushed a little.
After everyone arrived, the fat witch also came out with Shaolei's hand. As soon as he entered the shed, the fat witch smiled and asked Shaolei to take a seat, and it could be seen that the fat witch was very happy today, and his big face was smiling like a flower.
Shaolei's seat was next to Jiang Li, and seeing that Jiang Li had arrived, Shaolei hurriedly bowed to Jiang Li after sitting down, and shouted: "Uncle Jiang Li!" ”
Jiang Li Chong Shaolei nodded, although he was the one who was really in charge of the team, not the hairy boy in front of him, but the kung fu on the surface still had to be done.
Shao Lei owed a debt and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Jiang Li, are the clansmen still used to being here?" I've been talking to my aunt all afternoon, and I've never checked on the people. ”
I have to say that although Shaolei is young, he acts and speaks very decently. But it looks a little too old, and it lacks the liveliness of young people.
Jiang Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, and replied with a complicated expression: "Banpo Dolphin is well entertained, and everything is fine with the clansmen." ”
Shao Lei nodded, and whispered again: "My aunt explained to me just now, so if there is anything you don't understand at our banquet, you can ask the waiter generously, otherwise it will be easy to make jokes." ”
Jiang Li also nodded, indicating that he understood.
The fat witch didn't delay anything, and didn't even say a polite word to welcome the guests, and as soon as he sat down, he commanded loudly: "Since everyone is here, let's serve the food!" ”
As soon as the fat witch's voice fell, the food department immediately rushed in, and each person had a large tray in his hand, and on the tray were clay pots that were not big or small. The waiter brought the clay pot to the table, and it was clear that the clay pot was warm soup and a few chrysanthemums floating on the golden water.
"Let's wash our hands first!" As if afraid that someone wouldn't understand, the fat witch greeted him loudly, then washed his hands in the basin, pinched the chrysanthemum, twisted it on his fingers, and then picked up the neatly folded linen cloth on the dining table and wiped his hands. When the fat witch was busy with all this, the waiter next to him immediately brought down the used clay pot.
Fat Witch's move was very timely, many guests originally thought that the chrysanthemum water in this clay pot was soup, if it wasn't for Fat Witch to take the lead in making a demonstration, someone would definitely make a joke. Everyone hurriedly followed suit and pretended to wash their hands.
As soon as the clay pot for washing hands was removed, a black pottery cup was placed in front of each person, and the cup was also warm tea, and there were also a few small chrysanthemums floating on the tea. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why, and said in their hearts, didn't they just wash their hands? This time it was replaced with a teacup, so it should have been drunk, right? Although I thought so, no one was sure, so I didn't dare to serve a cup.
At this time, I saw that the fat witch unhurriedly picked up the black pottery cup, drank a sip of warm chrysanthemum tea, and rinsed his mouth with a snort, and the waiter who was accompanying him was waiting next to him with a spittoon, and the fat witch lowered his head and spit the mouthwash into the spittoon, and the maid put the spittoon and took the cup away.
The guests who came from afar suddenly realized that they had learned the same, and hurriedly picked up the cup and rinsed their mouths, and for a while, the shed was full of snoring and snoring mouthwashes, the scene was very spectacular, and Tang Ge was disgusted enough.
Except for the first ten seats, there was no separate maid to serve in the other seats, so after these people rinsed their mouths, they could only pull through the spittoon and spit the mouthwash inside.
After rinsing their mouths, the maids took down the black pottery cup, brought another glass of water, and put it in front of everyone, and then everyone was dumbfounded.
This time, it was a glazed glazed treasure cup, except that the material was different from the black pottery cup just now, but the contents of the cup were exactly the same: the same cup of warm water, and there were two chrysanthemums floating on the water surface......
"I've washed my hands and rinsed my mouth, but what are you going to do!" All the guests here wailed in their hearts, they always thought that they had eaten and seen the master, but when they arrived at Banpo Dolphin, how could they suddenly become a turtle that had never seen the world?
Before the dish was served, three cups of chrysanthemum water in a row completely made the guests from afar stupid. In order not to look foreign, they can only set their eyes on the fat witch, hoping that the fat witch can demonstrate again.
There was silence in the wooden shed, and all the clansmen looked at the fat witch with their eyes shining. After looking around for a week, the fat witch suppressed the smile in his heart, coughed lightly and cleared his throat, and then in front of everyone, he slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and let the warm chrysanthemum tea turn around the tip of his tongue, and then swallowed it with a "grunt".
"Whew~~~" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and said that they could finally drink. So they picked up their cups and drank the tea in their cups.
This time the tea is not the same as the previous one, the tea that rinsed the mouth before is just a simple chrysanthemum tea, it tastes slightly bitter, but it is fishy, although it is also chrysanthemum tea this time, it is made of red dates, wolfberries, brown sugar and boiled out, the red and bright tea soup, in addition to the faint bitterness of chrysanthemums, there is also the sweetness of dates and wolfberries, and it tastes very heavy.
Tang Ge lay on the case, desperately suppressing his laughter, but he still made a "swishing" movement like a car burning cylinder, and even the tableware on the table was trembling.
The set of washing hands and gargling before meals is a small plot that he interspersed in the revised version of Journey to the West and told it as a joke to the clansmen, but he didn't expect it to be copied by the clansmen and used here, and the effect is so good. Don't look at it as just a small three cups of tea, but it has suddenly raised the style of Banpo dolphin to a level that is difficult for others to achieve. In this era when everyone is running around to fill their stomachs, in addition to Banpo dolphin, who else will have such a particular and cumbersome process before eating?
I have to say that these three cups of chrysanthemum tea are extremely powerful, and they have destroyed the little pride that the people from Zhongzhou have.
When Tang Ge had laughed enough, he raised his head and found that Jiang Li on the opposite side was waiting for his eyes, glaring at him.
Tang Ge wanted to laugh again. Jiang Li, who is fat, has no hair on his round head, which looks like an egg at first glance, with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, which looks indescribably funny.
Jiang Li was extremely annoyed, he could see that the fat witch did this in order to give them a disgrace to the distant clansmen, and she did get her wish. However, Jiang Li can understand that the fat witch is doing this, but it is too much for this little kid who is a young witch to laugh at them so unabashedly. So, he glared at him unceremoniously.
It has to be said that this is a world of contradictions. In this era, everyone works hard to be able to eat a few more full meals, but only the people at the top of society can really fill their stomachs, and the other people are in a state of semi-starvation all year round. But even so, most of them are still very strong, because those who are weak have been "eliminated". It is in this context that people in this world will respect fat and take fat as beauty, even livestock, the fatter the better. And the Fat Witch and Jiang Li's Roshan-like figures are undoubtedly the envy of everyone, and they are the embodiment of power, status, and even "beauty".
However, Tang Ge is obviously not among them, he hates everything that is too fat, even if he eats meat, he only eats three points of fat. Jiang Li's figure didn't please Tang Ge, plus the purpose of their distant Banpo dolphin was known to passers-by, Tang Ge would not be polite to him, seeing Jiang Li glaring at him, Tang Ge did not hesitate to give Jiang Li a middle finger, and then slowly scolded with his mouth: "Fat pig!" ”
Jiang Li's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, but he heard the fat witch "Huh!?" He snorted coldly, and then glared at Tang Ge with an unkind face, but Tang Ge didn't care, and after throwing a provocative look at Jiang Li, he continued to scratch his ears and cheeks to think about the problem in his heart.
Jiang Li didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the fat witch. When this woman was still a little girl, she was already a well-known "unprovoked" in the alliance, and she has been in a high position for a long time, and the majesty of life and death is even heavier.
However, without waiting for Jiang Li to make a statement, the waiter served a plate of exquisite dishes on the dining table, as usual, it was sour, sweet, spicy, and salty four fixed table cold dishes, followed by two plates of stir-fried and a piece of meat soup to cushion the stomach, and then, there were all kinds of exquisitely made, colorful, fragrant, and delicious delicacies from the mountains and seas, flowing to the top of the dining table.
Every dish and pot of soup at the banquet was explained endlessly by the people of the Banpo dolphin to the guests. From the growth and selection of raw materials, to the influence of seasonal climate on ingredients, how to collect and fish, precautions when slaughtering and cleaning, heat when cooking, what kind of special kitchen utensils to use, what benefits this food has for people, and even how to eat it, all pay attention to it.
The people of the Banpo dolphin tribe said that it was called a skyscraper, full of fun, and many unheard of truths, which made the guests dumbfounded and addicted. After listening to the explanation of the Banpo dolphin people, I even felt that even the food on the table was a little more delicious.
The exquisite food, coupled with the graceful singing and dancing, opened the eyes of a group of guests, and the famous rich banquet on the heart of the wasteland really deserves its name, this pomp, this bearing, this exquisiteness, others really can't imitate it. As for the rich banquets in Zhongzhou that are made up blindly according to hearsay, compared with the genuine rich banquets of Banpo dolphins, it is simply a joke. Not to mention their lame singing and dancing performances, just the highlight of the rich banquet is the roasted whole deer, and the degree of attention is not something that those people in Zhongzhou can imagine.
