Chapter 242: Praetorian Guard
Lions are native to western Asia and Africa, and in the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, King Asasius I sent a caravan along the Silk Road to introduce lions to China, and gave them to Emperor Liu Wei of Han as a gift.
Known as the "king of beasts" reputation of the lion, with a powerful appearance, it was introduced into China after it shook the prestige of the Chinese Han folk tiger, and was gradually regarded as a beast to ward off evil spirits.
More than 600 years have passed, and these Nanzhao men naturally know about the lion, a magical animal!
Xiao Er heard Huhe's doubts, and couldn't help but walk over and explain with a smile: "This guest officer, you don't know something!" These dishes are all kinds of dishes developed by a new method of making zuò dishes promulgated by my Tang Dynasty sage at the beginning of the year! The dishes on this recipe are guaranteed to be something you've never tasted before! ”
"Oh? And such things? Huhe suddenly screamed in surprise, and hurriedly said: "In this way, you put this braised iron lion head, sauce elbow, husband and wife lung slices, and called flower chicken...... Come up to me, we are hungry, and please do your best! ”
"Okay!" The child dragged out the last note and shouted: "Braised iron lion head, sauce elbow...... The kitchen is waiting for you......"
After a few breaths, 7≮ wine and food were served.
This group of Nanzhao men who had slept all the way couldn't help it anymore, and stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the fragrant dishes on the table.
Here, Huhe's eyes were fast, and he stretched out his chopsticks to knock on the backs of the hands of these men one by one, and without noticing, all the men who were fast did not run away one by one, and they were knocked all over by Huhe.
"Oops!"
"Brother Hohe, what are you doing?"
One by one, the two Nanzhao men, all with a tiger face, glared at Huhe.
Huhe didn't spare any strength at this time, and took their hands on chopsticks. Directly knocked red. This is so ruthless for no reason, even if they respect and huhe, these men are also angry.
"What for, what for? Do you dare to blow up with Lao Tzu one by one? ”
Huhe looked at his subordinates and said, "Don't forget, who did we rely on this time to make such a big deal!" If it weren't for Brother Wang, we would all have to die at the hands of the Tibetan thieves. Before the feast, the first thing we should do is to give Brother Wang a glass of wine and thank him for saving his life! ”
Hear the words of Huhe. The dissatisfaction on the faces of all the Nanzhao men disappeared, because they were also people who knew how to repay their kindness, and this time Wang Jun helped them so much, so naturally he wanted to express it.
"Come, let's all raise our glasses and toast Brother Wang Jun!"
Led by Huhe, he personally poured Wang Jun a glass of wine, and then poured a large bowl himself, and then stood up. continued: "Brother Wang, thank you for your great kindness, please! ”
As he spoke, he raised his big hand full of wine to his chest. Just looked at Wang Jun so fixedly.
The Nanzhao men here also did the same, and they all picked up the bowls of wine and looked at Wang Jun.
Perhaps in the Taiyuan Wang clan, they have been accustomed to being treated coldly. At this moment, Wang Jun was a little at a loss.
He stood up, holding the wine glass that Huhe had poured for him, and said, "Brother Huhe." Brothers don't have to be like this...... I, Wang Jun, just did what I had to do! To be honest, I helped you and myself, and I can't afford to be so courteous to your brothers! ”
"If I say it's worth it, it's worth it! Come, drink this cup full! Huhe shouted domineeringly, and the wine bowl in his hand came directly to his mouth and drank it all.
The other men are also not vague at all, and they are also dry!
It's hard to resist the enthusiasm, and Wang Jun is indeed a little dry, so he didn't politely drink it all directly!
"Hahaha, okay, this is our good brother!"
Seeing this, this group of bold Nanzhao men immediately laughed.
"Come on, eat, you're welcome, let's order it again, today's wine and food are enough!"
As soon as I drank the wine, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Huhe shouted, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of crispy bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth.
When it came to their mouths, they immediately felt that it was much more delicious than what they usually ate in their hometown and on the prairie, and at the moment you were competing for me to eat the vegetable juice, and before the hot dish came up, the cold dishes and wine that had just been served had been swallowed up.
At this moment, everyone's conversation was also hooked up, and they chatted shoulder to shoulder one by one.
"Brother Wang, although we met in Songzhou, I don't think you look like an ordinary Han person in your dress and conversation!" Huhe took a bite of cold dishes and continued: "Although I, Hohe, am a rough man, who neither knows how to arrange troops nor know how to strategize the art of war, but judging from the surprise attack of the Tubo thieves on that day, Brother Wang is the best choice in terms of talent and ability!" How did you end up alone in Songzhou? ”
Wang Jun drank a glass of wine and said with a bitter face: "Alas, Brother Huhe, I can't hide it!" I, Wang Jun, am a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang clan......"
"What, the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang clan!" Huhe was taken aback, he still knew some of the most powerful families in the Tang Dynasty, especially the five surnames and Qiwang, which were family families that had been inherited for hundreds of years.
Perhaps it was Huhe's voice that was a little louder, and after hearing his exclamation, there were not many people in the hall on the first floor of Piffle Pavilion, and they all cast surprised glances at the people at this large table.
"Uh...... I'm sorry for disturbing you to eat and drink, please forgive me! ”
Hohe also obviously realized his gaffe, and quickly stood up to make amends.
The people at the other tables didn't show anything unusual, but just turned their heads and ignored them.
Although the five surnames and seven wangs colluded with Tubo to commit rebellion last night, what does this have to do with them, the people? Or is it none of their business, hanging high, what do these court-level things have to do with them?
It's just that these diners are not unusual, as a junior second in the Piff Pavilion, and also the ears and eyes of the 'Tianji Guard', but their eyes flashed, and the shopkeeper in front of them said a word, and hurriedly walked out of the Piff Pavilion.
At the moment, the Piffle Pavilion is catching up with the diners coming and going, and there is nothing to show if there is one less person.
After the time when there was no half a pillar of incense, the wine and food on the table were served one after another, and at this moment there were many diners in the hall.
"Qiang Qiang ......"
At this moment, a strong armor crash sounded, but it was a group of about 100 people, dressed in black armor, who walked in neatly!
One of the leading men looked around the hall, and when he saw the table at Huhe, his eyes lit up, and he scolded:
"The guards handle the case, and the idle people retreat!" (To be continued......)
