XXXVIII. Celebrating the Spring Festival in Ancient Egypt (I)

In the spacious royal tent, large pieces of steak, pork chop, chicken chop and fish steak are turning on iron plates, and the rich smell of cumin and pepper can almost melt the nasal mucosa; Roast duck stuffed with herbs in its belly is stuck with iron skewers and hung on the fire and spins slowly, making a mouth-watering "sizzle" sound and a strange aroma from time to time. Cleopatra's maids, under the guidance of modern visitors, are carefully cooking the dishes, and the naked carcass is covered with crystal beads of sweat, so that in addition to the aroma of the dishes, the tent is also filled with a certain sweet and sour fragrance of the female body.

As a pre-dinner snack, several shiny stainless steel plates are filled with dates, palm fruits, melons and figs, and one of them has some Egyptian treats made from papyrus tubers - what most foreigners don't know is that the papyrus used by Egyptians to make papyrus is actually a edible plant similar to lotus root and water chestnut. The tubers of this papyrus are highly nutritious and can be eaten raw, roasted over a fire like a sweet potato, dried and ground and mixed with honey to make a very popular dessert among the ancient Egyptians. In addition, the maids also brought some fresh lotus seeds with water vapor, which tasted very fresh and sweet, and should be no worse than the lotus seeds of the West Lake, a specialty of Hangzhou, - there are definitely more lotus flowers on the Nile than on the West Lake, and they are pure and natural and pollution-free...... This is also one of the few benefits of traveling through antiquity.

And on the sand in front of Cleopatra, in a small brass hot pot with solid alcohol, red grease is rolling on the boiling water, all kinds of red, yellow, black and green vegetables and fish. There is also mushroom tofu, which is also carried in boiling water and hot oil, so that the spicy aroma wafts out - not only does it smell good. The colors are also colorful, and people can't help but talk about it and move their index fingers at a glance.

Even though it was a relatively cool night, and Queen Cleopatra was like a standard Egyptian, she was wearing no clothes in her tent at this time, just a few pieces of jewelry, but the hot climate and the boiling heat from the grill and hot pot still made her sweat profusely for a while. It's like a sauna, but Cleopatra just sniffs contentedly and squints her eyes at the same time. It seems to be very happy.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah, that's comfortable...... It's been a long time since I've smelled such a wonderful scent! ”

Placing her lovely Joan nose in front of the steaming hot pot, the almost naked Queen Cleopatra took a deep breath of the hot aroma and felt the intense stimulation that filled her entire nasal cavity. He let out a long sigh of infinite satisfaction. Then he stuffed a chopstick with red, green, and green into his mouth.

Suddenly, a spicy and delicious taste completely covered her taste buds, making the queen moan in comfort.

――Since I came to ancient Egypt, I haven't enjoyed spicy food like this for a long time!

Although the traditional cuisine of the Japanese is generally light, it is not known to young people in any place. When it comes to eating, they tend to be thrill-seeking. Before the current Queen of Cleopatra crossed over, that is, when she was a high school girl Sanae Rika. I am quite fond of super spicy mapo tofu and spicy Korean food, and I am obsessed with the terrifying taste of "like lava".

Unfortunately, in ancient Egypt at this time, peppers native to the Americas were naturally nowhere to be found, peppers from the East were also more expensive than gold, and other condiments were also scarce, and even sugar could not be obtained (sugar originated in India, but was introduced to the West very late), and honey could only be used as a sweetener......

Fortunately, she only stayed in this time and space for a few days, and when she waited for her fellow travelers of the modern Shijie, she was finally able to satisfy her appetite again.

Thinking of this, Queen Cleopatra couldn't help swallowing her saliva, stirred it in the pot with two wooden chopsticks, and then poured all kinds of ingredients from the small plate into the hot pot - although the flavor of ancient Egyptian condiments was not as rich as that of modern shijie, there were all kinds of green and pollution-free fresh ingredients: frozen and shaved into thin slices, beef and mutton were neatly arranged in the plate, looking red and white, like a beautiful peony flower; Onions, cucumbers, lettuce, celery, peas, and gourds from Egypt, as well as bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and enoki mushrooms brought from other parts of the country, are also washed and cut into small pieces. And in the pot is also an old hen stewed over low heat for half a day before boiling the pure natural broth, its taste is delicious, by no means the kind of modern food industry concocted out of the "thick soup treasure" can be compared.

In short, sitting naked in a tent that is unbearable and sipping on the not-so-authentic red oil spicy hot pot, the queen said that she was very satisfied.

Although this kind of pathetic food treatment is almost the same as that of a rural migrant worker hiding in a bridge hole to cook and eat on a hot day, in this time and space, it is already an ultra-luxurious meal that can only be enjoyed by Queen Cleopatra.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

For such an unscientific thing as crossing a different shijie, many people have some kind of overly beautiful haode fantasy in their hearts.

For example, at this moment, on the other side of the wormhole, there are many otaku and otaku who are bored with life, all browsing on the Internet or weaving their own big dreams of traveling through - do you want to live a rotten life of the ruling class that is always served everywhere and extremely luxurious and degenerate? Dear, let's cross! Do you want three thousand beauties, wine pond meat forest, and night sheng song? Dear, let's cross! Do you want to lead thousands of troops and horses to show your blood and heroism? Dear, let's cross! Do you want to change from a poor and sour to a merry talent, pretending to be forced everywhere all day long, and being praised as a generation of writers? Dear, let's cross!

Unfortunate people, are you still struggling with the mortgage that you can't pay off until you retire? Are you still sad because your own conditions are "poor, short and ugly" and you can't find your ideal partner? Are you still lamenting the situation that you can't meet your talents and can only come out to move bricks with a college diploma? Dear, since this shijie is so cruel and ruthless, then choose to cross! In another shijie, all your troubles and problems will be solved! It's a stage for dreamers, it's a paradise for the lost. There are handsome guys and beauties everywhere here, and there are mentally handicapped little monsters everywhere who give you experience and treasures! The future may seem bumpy, but don't be afraid. The invincible protagonist aura will bless you on the road to success!

However, those professional travelers who really come and go from different shijie know that the life of the ancients is definitely not so romantic and beautiful.

As a veteran time-traveler who has carried out many missions, Queen Cleopatra knows very well what glory and wealth are if it were the life of a supreme emperor by the standards of thousands of years ago. What kind of brocade clothes and jade food, I'm afraid it's not as comfortable as a small urban white-collar worker in modern Shijie.

Although she became a pampered queen of Egypt after crossing over, Queen Cleopatra still felt a huge gap from modern life. What was there to be a king in ancient times? Are there computer games here? Is there an online chat room? Is there a TV to watch? Is there air conditioning and a car? Don't talk about the above stuff. Not even a bottle of soda to cool off! Although he has the most luxurious clothes of this era, the linen of the ancient Egyptians is generally the raw material for rags in modern times, where can it be compared with cotton and silk? And who likes to wear such a heavy and cumbersome dress on a hot day? In the absence of air conditioning and no electric fan. Queen Cleopatra has always felt the most comfortable to strip naked! Not to mention those heavy gold crowns, earrings and necklaces. Her neck was sore, and her earlobes were stretched a lot by the huge gold earrings...... Alas, just hanging several kilograms of precious metals on her neck, wrists and ankles in one go, is it using her as a wind chime?

Even the poor workers of modern shijie can enjoy hot pot while blowing the air conditioner comfortably in the summer. But now Cleopatra can only huddle in a stuffy tent. stripped naked and ate hot pot in public, sweat broke out on his skin. Flowing like a waterfall:

It's not because Queen Cleopatra can't let go of her face and doesn't dare to tear down the tent and throw a naked party in the moonlight - after so many years of being a zombie, superfluous things like shame are basically absent in her chest - but because there are so many mosquitoes and flying insects outside that even if you apply mosquito repellent potion, it is not very useful, and if you are not careful, flying insects will fall into the soup pot, and you can't prevent it.

In order to be air-conditioned and eat ice cream in ancient Egypt, Queen Cleopatra originally planned to order a large imported RV and a luxury yacht as a mobile palace, but after the raid of Commissar Yang Wenli's accounts, this hedonistic bulk consumption had to be urgently halted - at least until the books turned into a profit, and so much money could not be wasted on buying a caravan and a yacht for the time being.

In fact, if there was a more Haode option, Queen Cleopatra really wouldn't want to play permanent crossing - no toothbrushes and toothpaste, no sanitary napkins and tampons, no skin care products! No shower gel and shampoo! There are no designer fashions and bags! No coffee and milk tea! The most important thing is that there are no ice creams, desserts and curries, no manga, no fashion magazines and computer games, not even condoms and oral contraceptives, how can you make a delicate modern Japanese girl live!

However, as a former professional time traveler, Queen Cleopatra is also well aware that compared to other people who are neither mentally nor physically prepared, but only hear a thunderclap (being struck by lightning to the Otherworld), see two lights (being hit by a car accident), feel a moment of weightlessness (jumping off a building and jumping to the Otherworld), or see an inexplicable dialog box on the computer "Do you want to understand the meaning of life?" Want to ...... Alive? Then I accidentally clicked "YES" (the opening scene of the novel "Infinite Terror", the originator of the infinite flow of the mountain), and I broke into the strange new shijie traverser in a daze, and her current situation can only be said to be too good to be better.

- In her hand, there are not only a large number of books on the history of ancient Rome and Egypt, but also a few comic magazines airmail from Tokyo; In her veins, she has recently been vaccinated against a range of infectious diseases, from yellow fever to smallpox to measles, which threaten the lives of the ancients. In her small bag, there are all kinds of deworming drugs, antimalarials, antidiarrheal drugs and other commonly used items in camping, as well as electric batons, anti-wolf spray and small pistols for self-defense; In the face of various enemies and crises, there is a group of 21st-century "professionals" to help her advise. Rush out of the way, and there is no danger of betrayal and usurpation; Even in the most desperate situations, she can decisively jump into the wormhole. Calmly return to the familiar modern shijie ...... But in this way, it will become a stateless black household, and I am afraid that it will be at the mercy of others from now on.

Well, in short, although the living conditions are not particularly satisfactory these days, as long as everything goes well, there will always be air conditioning, and ice cream will also be available. The only thing that bothers Queen Cleopatra at the moment. It is that the territory is too small, and it only controls a narrow strip of land with Alexandria as the center and the northernmost tip of Egypt against the Mediterranean. Or half of Lower Egypt. And there were too many enemies around, whether it was Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII who had been driven out of the capital, the Romans who dominated the Mediterranean, or a few neighbors around the border: the Nubians to the south. Jews in the East. The Bedouin nomads of the desert are all eyeing the rich lands of Egypt. And her colleagues of the Later Generations who she relied on as a reinforcement, although they were not very interested in ruling the land of Egypt, were very interested in Cleopatra's sexy carcass......

Of course, for Queen Cleopatra, who served the tiger in the original history and fought for the throne of Egypt, she did not hesitate to give Caesar, a married man in her fifties, as the third son, if she only included her own body in the list of transactions. It feels like it's barely acceptable...... However, some of them are flattered by the gender of the object. It still made her feel a little tangled.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hey, hey! Sister Ma Tong, can you please not be so anxious, you actually touched someone's ass during dinner! It will affect digestion! Alas, haven't I been sleeping with you as a human pillow every night these days? Why haven't you had enough! ”

Feeling the sensation of being rubbed vigorously on her bare buttocks, Cleopatra couldn't help but frown and complained very disgracefully.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Eh, hey, I'm really embarrassed, but looking at such a fair-skinned and round ass dangling in front of me, I can't help but want to touch, rub, pinch, and suck a few more times! Alas, even if it's a sweaty little butt, it feels pretty good! ”

A certain lily slut whose name is Ma Tong and reads as a pervert said this with a wicked smile on her face, and at the same time rubbed her face against Queen Cleopatra's smooth little buttocks, and unceremoniously rubbed the two balls of jade fat on her chest, Zuihou even stretched out her wet tongue and licked her earlobes for a while, "...... Good boy! Come into my arms! Sister feeds you! ”

Queen Cleopatra sighed helplessly, and the next moment, the virgin cleopatra fell into the clutches of the lily monster sister......

Alas, thinking that in the near future, a famous last queen full of majesty will completely degenerate into a hopeless waste and weak, and can no longer put on a queen's style to control the world, Wang Qiu, who was sitting on the sidelines and peeping, couldn't help but sigh!

What's more, in the whole process of the glamorous celestial party, this man himself has been in a state of being ignored by them......

Uh-huh, such a lily blooming undisciplined shijie, is it better to destroy it?

While muttering like this, he squinted at the other naked girls in the tent, and suddenly felt that this kind of scene seemed to be not bad.

-- Just as Queen Cleopatra and her pestering sister Ma Tong were "flirting", Cleopatra's two personal maids, Delia and Cynthia, were also curiously looking at the other flaming brass hot pot and were in a daze.

In the small plate next to the hot pot, there are all kinds of neatly cut vegetables, shiitake mushrooms and tofu, as well as egg dumplings and crab sticks in quick-frozen packaging. And the murderous priestess Snow Ji Dailan from the Aztec Empire in the Americas is taking a piece of frozen mutton taken out of the incubator, using a planer knife to cut it into extremely thin slices of meat, and then placing it on a plate, making it into a flower shape, and garnishing it with coriander and tomato, which looks very exquisite.

Delia reached out and scooped up a slice of sliced haode mutton, and found that the slice of meat was slightly curled, almost as slender as a petal, almost transparent. Cynthia, on the other hand, looked at the bright brass hot pot with the same curiosity, especially the fuel burning under the soup, which turned out to be not the usual charcoal, but a blue gelatinous substance (solid alcohol), and even the flame was blue and faint, which made her look very puzzled.

After a while, the red soup in the pot began to boil and tumble, and countless peppercorns, chili peppers and other ingredients were floating on the water surface, and the rich aroma stimulated their noses with the heat wave, so that some of them were too strong, and even made the delicate Di Liya can't help but sneeze a little.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sniff ...... Well, it smells so good...... Deria, how about we try it? ”

Cynthia, a female gladiator who stumbles with a sword all day long, is not averse to this strong fragrance. I saw that she sniffed the fresh fragrance in the air, and then glanced at Xue Ji Dailan, who was engrossed in shaving frozen mutton, and then took out a spoon with Di Liya, scooped up a spoonful of red soup from the hot pot, blew it on her lips, and then squinted her eyes and poured the soup into her mouth.

The next moment, they couldn't help but drop the spoon, covered their mouths and burst into a violent cough, even holding back tears and splashing out. )
