Chapter 34: The Chinese Feast

Looking at the mountains and running dead horses, this is also suitable for the vast plains.

We set out from early in the morning until late in the evening when we came to the edge of the Chinese community, where I saw vast expanses of farmland, which were connected like a paradise.

We walked on a repaired avenue, and there were constantly farmers with hoes returning late, most of them knew Tuo Lao and Que Lao, and they came forward to greet them, but they did not dare to get too close, but after hearing the response of the two Chinese elders, they happily got out of the way and let us leave first.

I was a little puzzled, and asked the Longyun Hua clan here, why there is no wall, aren't they afraid of wild beasts?

Long Yun smiled and told me that within a hundred miles of the Chinese gathering place, the big beasts have been cleaned up quickly, and as for some wild boars and coyotes, it will not make the Chinese people too embarrassed, maybe they can still pick up a meal to eat.

In addition, there are patrols organized by Chinese organizations on the periphery, always guarding against wild beasts and conflicts between various ethnic groups, so there is no problem in terms of security.

Hearing his confident answer, I didn't ask any more questions.

It can be seen that as the largest tribe in the region, the Chinese still have many things worth learning from and carrying forward.

Walking along the main road, gradually there is less farmland, and there are more houses on both sides, similar to the Linhu family, all of which are short and dilapidated houses on the periphery, and the further you go, the more elaborate the layout and materials of the building will become, and I can even see a ten-story tower standing in the center of the gathering place.

On the outskirts of the settlement, there is a large and regulated market, and even at night, it is a bustling and lively scene.

Long Yun introduced to me that this place is called Dongji, and it is an area where all ethnic groups come to the Chinese for trade and exchange.

Because it is a treaty port, Dongji is particularly prosperous, with a wide variety of commodities, including fur, animal meat, jerky, grain, specialties, handicrafts, and many strange things, and some of these things are stalls, some are shops, and the sound of bargaining is particularly lively.

I could even see an inn with a signboard and a kiln where women waved handkerchiefs to solicit business......

It's really a place where wild things grow.

Long Yun was full of pride when he introduced these places to me, because this was the largest trading and distribution center in the entire region, and merchants from all tribes would come to this place to sell and buy, with rules and prosperity that were rare in the wasteland.

But to be honest, to me, this is at best a big township marketplace.

Of course, I won't say that, I'll just keep it in my heart.

In the territory of the Chinese people, one of the biggest feelings is tolerance, we came all the way, and we also brought the colorful giant tiger, but in addition to attracting attention, no one came to intercept it.

Or maybe Long Li, who left the team before, said hello to those Chinese people.

For tonight's accommodation, I said that otherwise we will stay in the inn for one night, so as not to trouble you, Long Yun hurriedly waved his hand, saying that the good room in this inn is so expensive that it is scary to death, a room that is almost a little bit, a dozen people in a chase shop, not to mention the smell, you can stand the sound of farting and grinding your teeth, and Miss An can't stand it.

Elder Tuo and Elder Que also persuaded me, saying that if I didn't go anywhere, I would just rest in his medical hall, so why bother?

In this way, we passed through the most lively Dongji, and then all the way through the streets and alleys, and came to a building complex by the lake, where was the second elder's medical hall, and Long Yun took the other two to the tribe to restore their lives and left first.

The second Chinese elder's medical hall is quite large, and there are many people in it, including servants, and more than 20 white-clothed apprentices.

These two elders have been away from home for a long time, so naturally there will be many things to explain, and they are also tired, so they let people take us to the guest room.

Said to be a guest room, in fact, it is a small courtyard near the lake, the window on the north, you can see the calm lake like the sea, the servant explained to us, after we asked to leave, An was full of fresh swaying around, every room in the yard ran over, and then came back to tell me, saying that I had heard about the rich side of the Chinese people for a long time, but I didn't expect that there was such a good house in the world.

After more than ten days of travel, Ann's sad mood has subsided a lot, and the child's heart has resurfaced, and I can't help but want to laugh when I hear her words.

Such a house, if it is within the second ring road of Beijing, is naturally priceless, but in this land of the Chinese people, it is just a dilapidated courtyard.

There's really nothing out of the ordinary.

But everything here, including the tables, chairs, benches and beds, is so new to Ann that I can't put it down, I can't help but tease her when I see her appearance, saying that otherwise you will live here, and the two grandfathers will not drive you away.

Hearing this, Ann's face turned gray again, and said, "No matter how good it is, it's not my own home." ”

I sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I'll send you back to the Fuji Clan tomorrow, where you'll definitely find your home." ”

Ann was looking forward to it again, and it was tangled again, and she went back to the house to clean up.

Not long after I sat in the house, someone came over and handed me a name post, saying that Commander Long Yun had prepared a meal at the restaurant and was going to invite me over to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, because there was still something on his body and he needed to communicate with the tribe, so he asked him to come and take me.

I took the name post, it was indeed Long Yun's handwriting, so I asked the person to wait, and I came to the door of Ann's room and knocked on the door.

When Ann showed up, I asked her if she wanted to go with her, and Ann shook her head, saying that it was a men's party and she wasn't going.

I knew I was going to drink tonight, but I didn't force it, but told Ann to rest early, and I would send her back tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to Ann, I left with the man.

Before leaving the hospital, I also let people inform the two elders of the Chinese nationality, and when they learned that the two elders were in the pharmacy, they didn't bother anymore and left on their own.

The person sent by Long Yun is called Yan Nan, a very good name, and he is a young general under Long Yun, but because his strength is not enough, he was not able to participate in this trip.

But the misfortune and blessing relied on, but fortunately he didn't go, otherwise maybe his life would have been left in the Butterfly Valley of Death.

The place we went to was not the messy Dongji, but the Chinese people's own business district, which corresponds to it, called Xiji.

Compared with the prosperity and chaos of Dongji, Xiji is colder, but the specifications of the houses and buildings have come up a lot, and it is obviously a place where the Chinese elite live.

The place to eat is called Desheng Building, there are actually three floors, and I was introduced by Yan Nan, I went straight to a private room on the third floor, just entered the room, not long after I sat down, there were footsteps in the corridor.

Yan Nan and I hurriedly stood up, there was no door in the private room, only a curtain, and at this time someone picked up the curtain and came in, but it was Long Yun who invited me to come.

In addition to Long Yun, there were also two people, a rickety old man with a furrow face and rough hands, and a middle-aged fat man with a blessed face and a beaming face, Long Yun helped me introduce him, saying that this rickety old man was Jiang Yi, the Chinese farmer in charge of agriculture, and the middle-aged fat man with a smile on his face was the younger brother of the patriarch, Long Buluo, who was in charge of overall commerce.

Hearing Long Yun's introduction, I knew that these two were powerful figures of the Chinese family, so I hurriedly said hello and didn't dare to slack off.

Elder Jiang didn't look like an old farmer, but his eyes were very deep, he grabbed my hand and said with a bold smile: "I've heard that Long Yun and they brought the seeds of the baobab tree this time, but you provided it, and all the cultivation methods have been explained, we will plant it in a few days, I hope Mr. Lu, you can be present to guide it." ”

The fat dragon does not fall leaves and said yes, if it can become a forest, this is a good thing for the benefit of one party, and Mr. will be an eternal friend of the Chinese people.

I was humble at first, and then asked about the exact date of cultivation.

When I heard that it was the agricultural season in five days, I was relieved and said that I might have something to leave tomorrow and that I would try to come back as soon as possible.

Long Buluo nodded, and said that we have heard what Long Yun said, Mr. Lu's affection is really touching, at present, there are also people in the Teng clan in our tribe, we will look for it when we go back, and we will accompany you tomorrow, so as not to find anyone when we get it.

After the vine tribe was wiped out by the Linhu clan, the remnants were very cautious, hiding in the mountains and forests, rarely showing up, I was worried about this matter, hearing his words, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, saying that this is the best.

Long Yun said everyone sit down, let's sit down and talk.

Everyone came to the table and sat down, this wine table is not, and the Linhu family, they are all sitting on the couch, but drinking in private, there are not so many rules, I saw that the rest of the people sat casually, and they did not kneel like the Japanese.

After entering the table, as soon as the bell is rattled, someone immediately comes to serve the food, the food is similar to Linhu, but there are more vegetables and staple foods, as well as tea soup and wine.

In particular, the liquor is much better than the bland and tasteless fermented liquor of the Linhu family, and it should be made by distillation.

And this wine is not precious, at least they can afford to consume it at will, and they don't need to be rewarded by the patriarch.

Everyone just met, wine is the best communicative, a few glasses of turbid wine in the stomach, the blood rises, people begin to talk more, a few people begin to chat, the atmosphere is gradually harmonious, and at this time, Yan Nan, who is waiting outside the door, suddenly reported loudly: "Elder Buluo, Elder Wuregret is drinking a banquet next to him, I heard that you are entertaining distinguished guests, it is a foreign person, so I brought my friends over to see it." ”

Long Buluo was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "What is the fifth child doing?" ”

Although he didn't know, he waved in agreement.

I promised here, the curtain was raised, and two people came in, one of them was similar to Long Buluo, but he lost some weight, and the other person turned out to be dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a black suit and a white shirt, looking very handsome and handsome.

When everyone met, the man smiled and said, "It's still a sunny day, I've seen you." ”
