Chapter 93: A Night Banquet in the Village
As he spoke, the old village chief took off the hat on his head, revealing his shiny bald head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOther villagers also took off their hats one after another, showing their ugly bald heads.
Hearing Ruiwen Village, Cang Shilan felt that the name was very familiar, and when he was thinking about it, the old and young people of Ruiwen Village showed their baldness one after another.
Cang Shi Lan Haoxuan was not disgusted to death by these bald donkeys, so he hurriedly twisted his head to the side and said in a loud voice: "Put it on, put it on." The night breeze is quite cool, don't blow the disease. I'm not a master, and I'm not going to take your children. I am just a traveler to the imperial capital of Piglia, and I will rest in your village for the night, and I will leave tomorrow morning. ”
The old village chief was relieved when he heard this, and carefully looked at Cang Shilan's hairstyle by the light of the torch, and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome, welcome, we haven't had guests in Ruiwen Village for a long time." Then go to my house and sit down. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, come to my house to eat. ”
Then the old village chief shouted to the crowd behind him, "Tom, go and catch two big fish in the Raven River, and I will invite the distinguished guests from the city to eat braised fish." Jack, go pick some seasonal vegetables in the garden. When the distinguished guest comes, you can't be too stingy and lose the face of our Ruiwen Village. ”
As he spoke, the old village chief stepped forward and helped Cang Shilan to go home.
Where did Cang Shilan dare to let the old man help, turned around and said hello, let everyone get off the car together, and then helped the old village chief to walk in the direction of his house.
The crowd entered a dilapidated courtyard, which was the old village chief's house.
Although the outside of the house is shabby, the inside is clean and elegant.
The old village chief beckoned everyone to sit down at a round table, and easily drove Cang Xiaofeng and Rex, who were sitting upright, off the table, and picked up two broken bowls and put them in front of them, meaning that these two bowls were their cutlery.
Rex is used to being despised, but it's nothing.
Cang Xiaofeng is the pearl of Cang Shilan's palm, where can he stand this kind of discrimination, fly in front of the old village chief, and "twitter" quarreled with the village chief.
Of course, Cang Xiaofeng didn't dare to use human language to quarrel with the old village chief, it remembered the admonition of the city lord of Changchun City, and did not use human language in front of the living.
The old village chief was amused by Cang Xiaofeng's antics and gently touched its head, and said earnestly: "Everyone is safe and happy, and life will be happy." Since you're just a bird, eat it under the table. Don't try to squeeze into the table, that's not where you are. ”
Cang Xiaofeng was so angry that she flapped her wings and flew away from the window.
Cang Shilan is now inconvenient to reveal the true identity of the little phoenix.
After all, the phoenix is a god-level demon pet, and the young birds are more valuable because they are easy to be domesticated, and it is difficult to buy them in the market.
Although the people of Ruiwen Village in front of him are simple and kind on the surface, only God knows what their hearts are, so it is better to keep some secrets.
Cang Shisheng decided not to reveal the identity of the little phoenix, as for the food of the little phoenix, Cang Shilan also has a way, that is, he can't eat and walk around.
If there is anything delicious on the dinner table, Cang Shilan will pack some and bring it to Cang Xiaofeng. Anyway, they brought a lot of gold coins, and when they parted, they just left some extra money.
After a while, Cang Xiaofeng flew in through the window, holding a golden plate in her mouth - it was its special cutlery.
Cang Xiaofeng hovered in front of the old village chief as if demonstrating with a plate in his mouth.
The old village chief just wanted to reach out to take the gold plate, but he retracted his hand and said with a smile: "Although there is a story of the white crane repaying the favor among the people, it is said that someone saved a white crane, and the white crane gave him a lot of jewels to repay the favor." But I didn't save you, I just entertained you with a meal, and I couldn't receive such a valuable gift in return. ”
Cang Xiaofeng saw that the old village chief misunderstood its meaning, and was so anxious that he shouted "wow".
As soon as it screamed, the plate in its mouth couldn't hold onto it, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "dang".
Cang Yulang was afraid that the old village chief would be more embarrassed if he misunderstood again, so he left the table, picked up the plate, and said, "My ...... What this little bird means is that this plate is its special cutlery. It can all be eaten on a gold plate, so can't it be served on the table?"
The old village chief said solemnly: "The elves of our Ruiwen Village never take people with money, whether they are rich or poor, we treat them equally. And whether it is a bowl of gold, silver, brass, iron, or tin, everyone must keep his own way. It is a blessing for this little bird to be able to eat in a golden bowl, and it is also the generosity of its owner. But that doesn't mean it's not a bird and can be juxtaposed with people. ”
The so-called guest is as the host, Cang Shilan was a guest at someone's house, and he was embarrassed to make excessive requests, so he said: "The old man has a lot of research on the Tao, and it is the Tao when he talks about it, so let's listen to it refreshingly, please take a seat, let's chat together." ”
As she spoke, Cang Shilan quietly gestured to Cang Xiaofeng, meaning that if she was a little aggrieved, she would be able to eat it on the ground.
The old village chief asked his two sons and a seven or eight-year-old grandson to accompany him, but he excused himself and said, "Wait a minute, I will come when I prepare a meal for your beast." ”
As he spoke, the old village chief went to the back kitchen and took something, and then filled Cang Xiaofeng and Rex's plates with food.
It is said that they don't take people with money, but the old village chief still gives them food that is superior to inferior.
Cang Xiaofeng of the golden plate got a plate of white and fragrant fruits.
Rex, who had a broken wooden bowl, got only a lump of gooey feed made of something that he didn't know what it was made of—the name of the food on Earth should be Pig Bun.
When Cang Xiaofeng saw the food, she immediately forgot the depression of being despised, and pecked hard, until the gold plate "banged".
The day after Rex had eaten a full feast of monsters, Rex learned that the dishes they had eaten yesterday were very particular, and the general name was the full feast of horses, and a total of one hundred and eight dishes were served.
Although the name of these dishes is Pijing Quanxi, the Pige people only contributed one dish, so they shamelessly put the word "Pi" in front.
Of course, Rex didn't know about these things and didn't care. But that doesn't stop Rex from considering himself a man who has seen the world.
How can a man who has seen the world -- uh, no, it's a pig -- put a pig in his eyes?
Seeing the old village chief's eager eyes, Rex reluctantly stuck his nose into the broken wooden bowl.
A sour smell came to my nose. Rex was nauseated, but there was an urge to taste it.
The stench, rancid smell exploded in Rex's mouth like a bomb - he still couldn't resist the instinct of the pigs.
It's unpalatable—that's the reaction of Rex's tongue.
It's delicious—that's how Rex's body reacts.
So in everyone's eyes, Rex shed tears while eating pigs.
The old village chief said with satisfaction: "Although I haven't made a pig for half my life, the old woman's craftsmanship has not regressed. Lo and behold, the little pig was moved to tears. ”
"Damn, I'm in tears from the stench. It's a pity that my body's instincts are not controlled, otherwise who would eat your. Rex's heart was screaming.
It's a pity that Cang Xiaofeng didn't dare to speak, and its demon pet didn't dare to speak. So the old village chief couldn't hear the real comments, and thought that his wife's pig was doing well.
The old village chief returned to the main seat, and by this time the dishes in the back kitchen had been delivered like water. The main course is fish, and the rest is seasonal vegetables.
Although these vegetables are ordinary, they are all fried green and green, which makes people quite appetizing.
The dishes came second, and the meal prepared for them by the old village chief was a bit of a novelty, no longer knives and forks, but two wooden sticks of the same length.
Cang Shilan was happy when he saw it, isn't this chopsticks? He has been playing with chopsticks for 19 years.
The old village chief introduced: "The dishes of our elves are exquisite and beautiful, and they use a joint meal system, so I like to use chopsticks, I don't know if a few distinguished guests can get used to it." ”
Chopsticks are the product of the extreme stage of the development of food culture, which can be picked, pinched, stabbed, and chopped, which is much more flexible than knives and forks.
The development of elf's catering culture has reached the point where it is today, and chopsticks naturally came into being. However, the strong establishment of the Pige Empire brought about Tatarization changes in areas such as braided beards, including changes in tableware.
Therefore, restaurants in big cities only provide knives and forks, and chopsticks are only used in rural elf dinners.
Cang Shilan silently thought about it, except for him, Lilith and Cang Yulang were both people from three thousand years ago, and when the elven culture was in vogue, chopsticks should be used very slippery.
