Chapter 0356 The reason why cucumbers are called cucumbers
"Ahh!!h
Oh?
"Ahem! You don't know how thrilling it was yesterday! When I encounter that kind of monster, if I hadn't run fast, I would have died a long time ago! What is that monster called? Well, whatever it is called, that thing eats whatever it sees, and it never has indigestion, but it can't enter the desert before, and I don't want to leave the desert, and the well water is fine without the river water, and I don't want to see it again next time! I was once trapped in a small space that I don't know which stupid guy had made out of the ground, and I was hungry for half a month! I was starved and lost weight all over my waist! If it weren't for the cracks in the small space caused by the earthquake, I would have starved to death. Compared to being hungry for half a month, constipation is a trivial matter, especially ......"
Luo Xiaotian listened to the chatter of the big-eyed master in front of him in a daze, and only one question echoed in his mind.
Do snakes have loins?
Yes... Maybe there is, right? Isn't it always said that the waist of the water snake is the waist of the water snake or something?
“... People are born of people, snakes are born of snakes, I think when I was a little snake, I followed my mother to the north and south, I saw I don't know how many ups and downs, and finally settled in this desert, that time..."
... What the hell are you talking about?! No, when are you going to talk about it? It's almost dawn! Luo Xiaotian began to seriously consider whether it was a wise choice to interrupt the other party at this time, and he still didn't know what the big snake was trying to do, and he couldn't escape for the time being, so he was afraid that the other party was the kind of guy who caught the rat and had to eat the rat after he had had enough fun.
"It's noisy!! and you can't let people sleep!"
With this somewhat lazy, sound coming from the direction of Kiana's tent, the noise came to an abrupt end.
Heh, Kiana, are you still alive?!Such a big movement didn't wake you up, and in a way, it can be regarded as an ability, right?
Grunting, Kiana shook off the curtain on one side of the tent and got out.
Immediately afterwards, Kiana, who saw the huge snake body, suddenly quieted down, and the erection qi that had just erupted completely disappeared, or rather, it seemed that she didn't even breathe.
"Ah, I almost forgot to get down to business. Give me the Dragon Ball Essence and I'll grant one of your wishes!"
What the hell is Dragon Ball Essence?Plant Essence, Fruit Acid Essence, Animal Essence, Vitamin Essence, Luo Xiaotian can probably guess what it is, but what are the essence essences, gene essences, and capsules?
...... Ahem, back to the original question, what is the essence of the Dragon Ball? Then, is this guy a divine dragon? No, no, no, no matter how you say it, it can only be a divine snake... Although it is really difficult to call it like that.
Luo Xiaotian took another look and found that the desert serpent turned its head in the direction of Qi Yana, so it provided a clue, what kind of dragon ball essence the so-called must be on Qi Yana... Or is it Kiana herself?
After all, the few things that were plucked from the tree before, so immortal, Kiana ate them all over the place.
If the essence is absorbed, won't it become Kiana herself?
So do you hand it over or not?!
"You mean that?"
Recovering from the state she had just been frightened, Kiana took out the green cucumber from her clothes, the thorns on it were all gone, and the light seemed to be still reflecting.
Wait a minute...... Why is cucumber called cucumber and not green?
Luo Xiaotian suddenly remembered where he had seen this question, and now he thought about it... Sure enough, Nu worked hard and remembered.
Well, cucumbers are called cucumbers for two reasons.
First of all, the cucumber was originally called Hugua, which was brought back by Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty when he went to the Western Regions. The name of the courgette was changed to cucumber, which began in Later Zhao. Shi Le, the founder of the Later Zhao Dynasty, was originally a member of the Qiang tribe who entered the Sai. After he ascended the throne as emperor of Xiangguo, he was greatly annoyed by the people of his country who called the people of the Qi people Hu. Shile formulated a decree: no matter what he said or wrote, it was strictly forbidden to use the word "hu", and violators would not be punished.
One day, Shi Le summoned the magistrates in Shan Yuting, and when he saw Fan Tan, the commander of Xiangguo, coming to see him wearing patched and tattered clothes, he was very dissatisfied. He split his head and asked: "Fan Tan, why did you come to the court when you were not dressed properly?" Fan Tan didn't know how to answer in a panic, and replied casually: "It's all because the Hu people have no morality, and they looted all their clothes, so I had to come to the court in rags." As soon as he had finished speaking, he realized that he had broken the forbidden and hurriedly prostrated himself to the guilt, and when Shile saw that he was guilty, he stopped accusing him. When the summons were followed by the routine "Imperial Lunch," Shi Le pointed to a plate of courgettes and asked Fan Tan, "Do you know the name of this thing?" Fan Tan saw that Shi Le was deliberately questioning him, so he replied respectfully: "Purple case delicacies, silver cups of green tea, gold bottle nectar, and jade plate cucumbers." When Schleer heard this, he smiled with satisfaction. Since then, the courgette has been called a cucumber, and it has spread among the government and the public.
The second reason is that real ripe cucumbers have yellow skin and hard seeds, while green unripe cucumbers are crisper and tastier.
So, those in power can really do whatever they want.
The founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was called Liu Xiu, so Xiucai became Maocai; the wife of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was called Lu Pheasant, so the pheasant became a pheasant; Kangxi's name was Aixin Jueluo Xuanye, so Xuanshen became Yuan Shen; because Tang Taizong's name was Li Shimin, so Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu" is "people also miss their families", "each of the six countries loves his people", "Qin Fu loves the people of the six countries", rather than "the people also miss their home", "each of the six countries loves its people", "Qin Fu loves the people of the six countries"...... Luo Xiaotian shook his head, it seemed that he hadn't slept well for two days in a row, so his brain began to show off, and he felt out of place in a world of swords and magic to study these things.
Returning to reality, Luo Xiaotian saw the desert giant snake stretch out its long forked tongue and gently roll it, and the green cucumber entered the giant snake's mouth.
Luo Xiaotian swallowed and foamed... Can you eat this cucumber? Well, forget it, I don't eat it myself anyway.
Pouting, Luo Xiaotian didn't say anything, just focused on the big snake that seemed to be savoring it after swallowing the cucumber.
"That's right, that's what it tastes like! Okay, say what you want!"
Before Luo Xiaotian could say the words "return to the original world", he was interrupted by Qi Yana, and in an instant, Luo Xiaotian was shocked.
