Volume 2 Chapter 83 Preparation (1)
Shunzhi spread his hands: "So you said, I, the great emperor who 'shoots' the golden light four, don't approve 'know', what else can I approve?" I looked down, and sure enough, at the end of the excerpt, Shunzhi approved it with a red pen
"Got it" in three small words. I couldn't help but laugh and bend over anymore, this *** lama, really shameless, Shunzhi couldn't help laughing when he saw my appearance, but soon he restrained his smile and sighed a little worriedly: "On the surface, it is extremely good to welcome the horse, but in fact, it contains the ambition of a wolf." If it weren't for their covert support, the Dzungar side wouldn't have made such a fuss. I pressed his frown and rubbed it slowly until his brow stretched out in my hand.
"The Holy Lord is like the sky, he has a big 'chest', has a good plan in his belly, has the opportunity to contain the universe, and has the ultimate in swallowing heaven and earth. Shunzhi smiled happily when he heard these words, and then I said viciously: "Don't look at him having fun today, sooner or later he will make a list." Shunzhi looked strange: "List? I nodded: "Well, make a list of their crimes, and finally settle the account with him together." Shunzhi said softly: "Yes, one day ......" As he was saying, Chang Xi came in from the 'door', I quickly stood up from Shunzhi's arms, and Chang Xi said: "Your Majesty, Toma Law has arrived." Shunzhi said to me, "Why don't you go talk to Tomafa first, and I'll come after I've finished these batches." I nodded and agreed, followed Chang Xi out of the warm pavilion, and came to the main hall, Tang Ruowang was waiting in the hall, and when he saw me, he was about to bow, so I hurriedly stopped.
smiled: "Tomafa doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." After he sat down, I said, "The emperor is reviewing the recital." I'll come over after a while, in fact, this time it's the palace that I want to ask Marfa about something. That's why Marfa made this trip. Tang Ruowang smiled: "Niangniang is here to meet the British envoy?" Seeing me nodding, he said again: "Niangniang has to ask if you have anything, and Weichen knows everything." ”
"Then the palace will not be polite to Marfa." I smiled and said, "I wonder how many people are visiting this time?" ”
"Fifty-eight in all."
"Do you know who is leading the team?" John Tang said: "The head of the envoy is the Duke of England. The surname is Hawke, and the name is George. He was joined by his wife. Sister of the King of England. I didn't expect to be a royal prince, so I asked again, "Has Tomafa ever seen this duke?" ”
"When he was in England, he visited the king of England and met him once at a meeting."
"I wonder if Marfa thinks the Duke is easy to get along with?" Tang Ruowang groaned for a moment and said, "The duke is a little arrogant. "Arrogance, that is, looking down on others?
"Does Marfa know what his preferences are?" Just get the head of the mission done. That's half the story.
"The Duke seems to be very good at muskets."
"Muskets?"
"Yes." John Tang replied: "This kind of musket is not like our 'arquebus' in the Qing Dynasty, it is a self-fired gun. The time to load the gunpowder was greatly shortened, and with the metal projectile, the power was amazing. When Weichen visited the king that day, the duke also demonstrated marksmanship in public. "It's ironic, the gunpowder 'was obviously invented by the Chinese, but it was carried forward in the hands of foreigners, and I asked: "I don't know what the style of the musket is, did Marfa bring back two?" John Tang shook his head and said, "The English are known as gentlemen, but they are very stingy in this matter. "I can't help but be slightly disappointed, in fact, the musket technology of the Qing Dynasty is not backward in the world, but the bad thing is that no one cares about it, because the time he has been loading gunpowder is too long...... Tang Ruowang continued: "They refused to give away a gun, but they gave Weichen a necklace made of metal projectiles, and if Niangniang was interested, she would give it to Niangniang." "If you don't have a gun, it's useless to ask for bullets, not to mention that it's not a bullet, it's just a projectile.
I smiled: "This palace also wants to ask Marfa how to hold this banquet." Tang Ruowang smiled and said: "Weichen and the emperor both believe very much that Niangniang will be able to hold the banquet well, so why do you need Weichen to point fingers on the side?" I smiled slightly, and said a little worriedly: "That's better than ...... What kind of etiquette will be used when the British envoys are presented? "Western countries should be very resistant to the etiquette of three bows and nine knocks.
John Tang was also a little worried: "This is indeed a difficult problem. At this time, Shunzhi came out of the warm pavilion,
"What's so difficult?" Tang Ruowang hurriedly bowed again, got up and said: "Weichen and the queen mother are talking about what etiquette should be used when the British envoy meets the emperor, whether it is according to their customs or the habits of the Qing Dynasty. Shunzhi thought for a while: "There is a way to follow the customs, they come to our territory, of course they have to follow our habits." I glanced at John Tang and saw that the other party disagreed with each other's eyes, John Tang obviously had something else important, and after chatting for a while, he couldn't wait to go back.
I looked at Shunzhi and asked, "Does Tom Mafa have anything else to do besides compiling the constitutional calendar?" Shunji smiled mysteriously: "This is a secret. I smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but said worriedly: "The customs and habits of Western countries are different from those of my Qing Dynasty, and I am afraid that they will not be willing to bow down." Shunji's face instantly became serious,
"This time, I 'forced' them to kneel, and in the future, I will make them kneel happily!" Looking at his determined face, I smiled,
"You're here, and you will." That night, Shunzhi stayed in Kunning Palace, just hugged me, and fell asleep deeply.
I got up early the next day, but I still didn't catch up to send Shunzhi to the morning court, and then I ate breakfast while thinking about how to hold a banquet and receive foreign guests.
Let the attacker call Lu Shan, and I thought about the steak method. After a while, Lu Shan came, and I asked, "I wonder if Master Lu has ever heard of such a dish as 'steak'?" Lu Shan frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I don't know what kind of raw materials and what method is used to cook?" What does it taste like? I thought for a moment and said, "It's made with thickly sliced beef 'meat' fried or grilled." Lu Shan said: "Is it the same as the ancient practice of roasting 'meat' in Mongolia?" I shook my head: "It's much better than that." I tried to tell him the taste of the steak I had eaten, and told him the general seasoning and side dishes, Lu Shan was 'confused' and 'confused' after hearing this: "Niangniang, I don't know what kind of 'flower' is planted with broccoli?" Is it the same species as 'jade' orchid 'flower'? That one...... And what is a tomato? Also, the minions had never heard of any black pepper. "What?
Haven't these things been introduced to China yet?
"Well...... What about tomatoes? I asked tentatively, maybe it was because the names were different so he didn't know. Lu Shan frowned again and said, "This slave has never heard of it, and the slave has only heard of persimmons and persimmons." ”…… That persimmon, I guess that's it.
"Is there a persimmon in the palace now? You go and look for it. Lu Shan nodded, turned around and retreated, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Master, what do you want to do?" ”
"Cook Western food!"
"Western food?" The attacker thought for a long time,
"What is it?" I grinned, "You'll know in a moment." "But I don't think the attacker wants to know, after a pillar of incense, she had to follow me with a bitter face towards the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, and she kept preaching about the kitchen along the way
"It's full of oil smoke and chaos", but unfortunately, I didn't hear it. Halfway through, I met Lu Shan, who was holding two tomatoes in his hand, and when Lu Shan saw me, he didn't salute, and handed the two tomatoes directly to me and said, "Niangniang, this is a persimmon." "I took one, smelled it, well, fragrant, took a bite, sweet and sour, juicy, pure natural green 'color' food, thousands of times better than the dishes fed with agricultural 'medicine' in later generations.
I continued to march towards the small kitchen while eating tomatoes, Lu Shan was also startled, and kept asking the attacker with his eyes, but the attacker just followed me with his shoulders bent, and did not speak, probably ...... Speechless for me, hehe.
Walking to the small kitchen, I suddenly stopped, turned around and asked: "At the end of this month, the British envoys will arrive in the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor will 'hand' over the details of the banquet arrangement in the palace. The attacker nodded slightly, and Lu Shan said: "Niangniang can prepare whatever dishes and tell the servants to make them, why bother to come here in person." I shook my head and smiled: "The 'steak' I just told you is the dish that Honggong wants to prepare, but we don't know how to do it, so practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!" "I pointed to Lu Shan,
"You do it, Hongu guide!" As soon as Lu Shan heard that he was cooking, his eyes immediately lit up, and he slipped into the kitchen 'door' and shouted: "Little Lizi, Xiao Taozi, where are you dead, come out for me." "I admired the palace people's ability to name them again, peach and plum, what else to reward Concubine Tong
"Little Pony".
