Chapter 396: A Heaven-Sent Horse
Cheng Yue couldn't drink so much, and he couldn't drink well, so he was in a quandary, the two princesses and Kutoulon both stepped forward, and one of them helped Cheng Yue drink a bowl, which made everyone in the tent very envious.
The atmosphere between the two princesses and Kutoulon was very delicate, and since they knew that Kutoulun would follow Cheng Yue in the future, they were in love. The two princesses are both smart people, and they understand the intention behind Cheng Yue's move, and they are not very happy.
Cheng Yue did this, as if he was openly telling everyone that he was not at ease with Kublai Khan, and it was difficult to say that there was no responsibility for them. Especially that time, they semi-forcibly asked Cheng Yue to hand over the pistol to Kublai Khan for inspection, although Cheng Yue did not mention it again in front of them, but it was obvious that Cheng Yue had planted a distrust of Kublai Khan and them in his heart.
People are like this, once the seeds of distrust are planted, it will be difficult to talk about the future, even if Cheng Yue still loves them, but he has to leave a way back for himself. In the final analysis, the Yuan Dynasty did not believe in Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue naturally would not be at ease with the Yuan Dynasty.
Whether it is Wan Ze or Nang Jiazhen, with the shadow of that incident, if Cheng Yue wants to trust them again, it is necessary to work hard, and he may not be able to succeed. If Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty and Cheng Yue's Southern Song Dynasty start a war again, or if they do something at the behest of Kublai Khan that Cheng Yue can't bear, then Kutoulon in front of them is likely to suddenly replace them, and what will follow must be a bloody storm!
The two princesses were unhappy, but Kutoulon was calm and calm. She understands that she is a chess piece, a chess piece that is better prepared than used, in the eyes of others. will feel that she is pitiful. But for the sake of her family. She didn't hesitate.
Cheng Yue stepped forward and said to Kublai Khan: "Great Khan, when the minister was in the Southern Song Dynasty before, he often barbecued meat for the queen mother, and today is a rare opportunity, and the minister also promised Namuhan to invite him to eat some delicious food, and the minister is willing to cook the minister's barbecue method for the Great Khan, does the Great Khan want to taste it?" ”
Kublai Khan slapped his thigh. smiled: "Great, I've always wanted to eat the dishes you made myself, but I didn't expect you to be able to barbecue meat, come, you roast it, let me taste it." ”
The barbecue in Mongolia during the Yuan Dynasty was different from the seasoning used by Cheng Yue in later generations, of course, Cheng Yue's was better. When Cheng Yue returned to the camp of the Right Army, he brought a complete set of tools, spices, and meat skewers by the way, and he was waiting for this moment.
Cheng Yue made a charcoal fire and roasted it carefully. Not to mention the curiosity of the surrounding Mongolian nobles, Cheng Yue's generals are also looking forward to it. Cheng Yue only roasted meat for the Song Dynasty palace. No one else has eaten it!
The charcoal fire is very strong, and the aroma of barbecue is quickly released. Cheng Yue sprinkled the seasoning finely. A strange smell overrode the smell of roasted camels, and everyone in the tent salivated and looked at the meat skewers in his hand.
Cheng Yue was not in a hurry, the meat skewers in his hand kept turning over, the fragrance was fragrant, and Kublai Khan and others were hungry.
Dozens of skewers were quickly baked, and Cheng Yue ordered someone to bring a plate and put ten skewers on Kublai Khan to serve them separately.
Kublai Khan still cared about the dignity of the Great Khan, picked up a string, swallowed a piece of meat in his mouth after blowing it a few times, and showed an ecstatic expression while shouting hot, unable to speak, he could only give Cheng Yue a thumbs up - delicious!
Other meat skewers can't be turned by others, and the concubines and several khan kings in the harem are not enough. Cheng Yue personally divided the past several strings, and secretly winked at Nuhan and Sa Buyu, and gave them a bigger one, so that Bo Yao Wuzhen rolled his eyes at Cheng Yue a few times.
Kublai Khan and the others ate with their mouths full of oil, and they were extremely happy. Busy brother Timur said with a smile: "Great Khan, I knew that there were such delicious meat skewers, so what kind of battle are we fighting, if you say a word and don't let us eat it, we will surrender." ”
Kublai Khan laughed, handed the meat skewers on the plate to each of the four sweaters, and said with a smile: "It's also the first time I've eaten the barbecue made by Cheng Yue, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, who knows when he hid such a hand." The barbecue I used to eat was compared to it, and it was all eaten for nothing. While Cheng Yue hasn't left yet, let's eat more. ”
Cheng Yue is busier than anyone else, he is busy with barbecue, and he has no time to respond to everyone's praise for him.
Nuhan and Sa Buhu were sweet in their hearts, and what Cheng Yue promised them did it. It's just that after Cheng Yue returns to Dadu, he will soon return to the Southern Song Dynasty, how many opportunities can he get along with Cheng Yue?
As soon as Cheng Yue's second batch of meat skewers was grilled, An Tong came up with a plate and said, "Dashuai, it's our turn, right?" Can't I serve you the plates? ”
Seeing that An Tong did not hesitate to help Cheng Yue serve the plates, for fear that he would not be able to grab it, he immediately rushed up, so anxious that Na Muhan shouted: "Father Khan hasn't eaten enough, don't rob it!" ”
Kublai Khan looked at the empty plate and said helplessly to Namuhan: "Forget it, they haven't eaten, I will wait a little longer." ”
Cheng Yue baked quickly, the stove was also large, and hundreds of skewers were good for a while, but he couldn't stand the wolf-like generals around him, as well as Kublai Khan and others who had not eaten enough. Cheng Yue was so busy that he was about to go crazy and broke several expensive plates, and Kublai Khan didn't care.
Cheng Yue was tired and sweaty, but he was very happy. Wan Ze always stood silently to wipe his sweat and help him hand over things, and Nang Jiazhen and Ku Toulon helped him barbecue meat, Cheng Yue's workload was reduced a lot, and the meat was roasted faster and faster.
Cheng Yue sighed in his heart, if he didn't need anything else, he would have to make a windfall if he went to open a barbecue stall by himself. It's better to eat camel meat first, otherwise you will die of exhaustion!
A barbecue was eaten up and down, and the meat prepared by Cheng Yue was all eaten, and everyone was still unsatisfied.
Ta Lahai praised: "Cheng Yue, I only know what barbecue is today!" I really didn't expect that you are a Han Chinese barbecue better than us Mongolians. It's the Kuritai Conference these days, can you please bake it every day? After returning to Dadu, can we still go to eat? Or will you come to the palace and we will eat together? ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Your Highness, there are not many spices brought by the ministers, and this time they are almost all used up, not for anything else, just to celebrate the end of the war, the Great Khan held the Khulitai Conference." His Royal Highness is willing to appreciate the light and eat at the minister's place, the minister is welcome, let the minister eat in the palace, the minister doesn't want to be a cook every day, the minister is very busy. ”
Going to the palace to eat can become closer to the Kublai Khan family, and the opportunity that others can't ask for was rejected by Cheng Yue without hesitation. He didn't need to talk to Kublai Khan, but Khulai needed him more. It would be too dangerous to go to the palace in this way to have a personal relationship with Nuhan and Sabu, and he couldn't do it.
Tarakhai shook his head regretfully. She gets along with Cheng Yue very happily these days, Cheng Yue always has endless good things to make her happy, even if she returns to the palace, she still wants to continue this life.
Bo Yao Wuzhen said: "Cheng Yue, do you have any new songs?" I'd love to hear it. "Mongolians naturally have to sing and dance after drinking and meat, and when it comes to this, Cheng Yue in front of him is the biggest expert.
Cheng Yue wiped his hands and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, there really is." ”
As soon as Cheng Yue's words fell, everyone's applause rang out, and many people even cheered. Cheng Yue's song "Hong Geese" has now been sung in all directions and won the love of everyone, especially the Mongolians, and has become a must-sing song in the Mongolian banquet. The song "Love the Country and Love the Beauty More" is also hot, and even Kublai Khan hums a few words from time to time, can you hear another song today?
Kublai Khan was so interested that without his order, the tent immediately fell silent, and everyone looked forward to it.
Mongolians love to sing and respect people who sing well, so Cheng Yue is very focused on this.
Cheng Yue asked for a small drum, beating the beat, and sang: "
The blue sky, the clear lake water, hey
The green grassland, this is my home
Galloping horses, white sheep, hey
And your girl, this is my home
I love you, my home, my home, my paradise
I love you, my home, my home, my paradise
The blue sky, the clear lake water, hey
The green grassland, this is my home
Galloping horses, white sheep, hey
And your girl, this is my home
I love you, my home, my home, my paradise
I love you, my home, my home, my paradise."
This is Tengger's "Paradise", with a melodious and soulful tune and simple and easy-to-understand lyrics, which can touch the hearts of Mongolians the most. At the end of the song, Cheng Yue also sang a short paragraph in the newly learned Mongolian language, plus the fancy long tone at the end, everyone was fascinated by it.
As soon as Cheng Yue finished singing, the whole tent immediately gave a standing ovation, and the applause and cheers were deafening and enduring.
Haidu was deeply moved and stepped forward to hold Cheng Yue's hand and said: "Cheng Yue, you must have been a Mongolian in your last life, so you came to be our Mongolian colt in this life, so that you can sing such a beautiful song." It's not that the Mongols can't sing this song at all! ”
Kublai Khan smiled and said, "This is my God-given horse!" I'm so proud! ”
"A godsend! A godsend! The crowd shouted in unison. Indeed, only this word can describe all kinds of magic on Cheng Yue's body vividly, and ordinary people will never be able to do those things that Cheng Yue does!
This is the second time that Kublai Khan has mentioned the term "heavenly concubine", and it has been unanimously approved by the Mongol nobles, indicating that they have regarded Cheng Yue as their own to some extent, although it is difficult to tell whether they are friends or foes.
Cheng Yue's deliberate layout and subtle strategy finally achieved results, which is Cheng Yue's complete victory!
At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, and everyone rested. Cheng Yue did not stay in the Chinese army, but rushed back to his right army overnight.
As soon as he returned to the right army, Cheng Yue didn't even return to his sleeping tent, and directly took the generals to comfort the wounded, arrange the funeral of the victims, and did a few surgeries with his own hands.
Zhang Hongfan and others saw it in their eyes and admired Cheng Yue even more. Cheng Yue's achievements today are by no means fortunate, and the hardships and efforts behind him can only be seen by his side. (To be continued......)
