Chapter 155: Otherworldly
Taicang Qunchen had never seen so much meat.
While they were busy, an edict suddenly came, and at dinner time, the lord of Ji Xia invited his ministers to a banquet in the Taihe Palace.
Taicang's current meals have made great progress in the eyes of the ministers, and he can eat at least three full meals a day.
For them, this kind of life is not much different from their expectations, and many of their subjects are still praying to the wind to maintain this life forever.
As for the food, the delicacies?
What's that?
Taicang has existed for more than 200 years, but due to many reasons, this category has never developed.
Even the most ordinary rice is not enough to eat, and the wild grasses and wild vegetables on the periphery of the Southern Forbidden Forest are also poisonous, and those fierce beasts are very ferocious and difficult to catch.
With such a shortage of ingredients, where is there room to develop gastronomic delights?
Therefore, when they heard the news that the Taihe Hall had invited the ministers to a banquet, they only thought that the lord of the country might need them to perform again.
The result was not what they expected.
In front of each minister, in addition to the rice that is indispensable every day, there are two dishes.
What made them even more unable to take their eyes off was the two plates of meat in front of them!
This kind of meat is obviously not the meat of the dry beasts that can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays in the past, the meat is tender and crispy, and those hungry beasts and monsters in the wild who eat anything on weekdays can't grow this kind of meat.
The rarest thing was that the meats seemed to have been carefully cooked, and after being cooked, there were sprinkles that hit the spices they had never seen before.
At this moment, the steaming meat, with a strong smell, was sniffed into their noses, and they immediately spoke with relish.
Many ministers swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
"Today, I convened the ministers for two purposes, one is to reward the ministers, and the other is to discuss the future regulation of Taicang. ”
Ji Xia is high on the throne, calligraphy is crowned, revealing a handsome face.
All the ministers stood up in unison and saluted Ji Xia.
Ji Xia sat them down and continued: "These meats are all sacrificed to Taicang by the Dove Dog Country General Du Sangjin, and from then on, the Dove Country will donate about 200,000 catties of meat every day!"
The ministers showed surprise on their faces, not because of the submission of the dove dog country, they knew that according to the current Taicang national strength, the dove dog could die at any time, and they were happy that the dove dog actually had so much meat to offer!
The dove dog people almost do not eat vegetarian food, and the domestic population of more than 300,000 people has raised many cattle and sheep by relying on a piece of grassland in the country and the secret technique that can save the lives of livestock in the cold winter.
They depend on these animals for their survival.
200,000 catties of meat per day, almost half of the daily meat consumption of doves was directly dedicated to Taicang, which surprised the ministers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Taicang can have a weak scene now, and it is inseparable from your hard work. ”
Ji Xia slowly stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and saluted the ministers from afar.
In the cup is freshly brewed rice sake, which is very light but also sweet and delicious.
The ministers stood up again, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and bowed down to toast Ji Xia.
Shangyin Luyu said loudly: "Taicang has traveled in suffering for more than two hundred years, and now this situation is something we have never imagined, these have benefited from the lord of the country, the lord of the country is the Ming monarch that Taicang has never had, and the lord of Taicang's prosperity!"
All the ministers said in unison: "Congratulations to Taicang, this is Mingjun!"
Ji Xia nodded casually and drank the wine glass in his hand.
The ministers immediately drank the wine from their cups.
Ji Xia looked at the ministers who were solemn, but there was a look of joy in their eyebrows, and said: "From now on, among all of you, there will be meat to be distributed, and the specific regulations will be studied and planned by the royal court." ”
The ministers were overjoyed and thanked the lord again and again.
Ji Xia drank another glass of spirits, picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, the taste of food that was completely different from Taicang's daily life overflowed from between his lips and teeth, down his tongue, and into his throat.
The warmth also welled up all over the body.
When the ministers saw Ji Xia move their chopsticks, they all tasted the meat on the table in front of them.
Even though they were restrained, their expressions still revealed something.
When they put the beef and lamb in their mouths, their eyes narrowed and their faces were full of enjoyment!
When they grow so big, it's already very good to have food every day, and as for the taste? When they are dying of hunger, when there is not enough food to eat, everyone will think about the taste.
Now Taicang rice is abundant, but other production is still poor, and there is still not much progress in many aspects such as vegetable types, food types, and seasonings.
At this moment, when they ate such delicious dishes, in addition to joy, they also had some emotions in their hearts.
I don't know when there will be meat on the table of the people of Taicang?
Ji Xia watched the hundred officials feasting, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, and he also had some insights in his heart.
As the lord of a country, all the Taicang people are his people, so isn't it his meaning to let the people live a prosperous life and save the Taicang from the wanton killing of other races?
Just like the Taicang lords of the past dynasties, they struggled to resist the cruelty of the boundless wilderness, and struggled to overcome one tribulation after another, allowing Taicang to survive for more than 200 years.
This is extremely rare in the human kingdom, although the greater reason is that there are no too fierce and powerful races around Taicang, but the hard work of countless Taicang people has also played a major role.
"I've never been a passerby. ”
Ji Xia thought thoughtfully.
"When I saw that the old man wanted to die, to lighten the burden of Taicang, to lighten the people, and to lighten the burden on his children. ”
"When I saw countless sergeants fighting even though they knew they were invincible. ”
"When I saw the Taicang officials working hard and conscientiously, day and night. ”
"When I see the all-you-can-eat, the simple people smile with satisfaction on their faces. ”
"When I saw Taicang in trouble, countless people asked to die!"
The expression on Ji Xia's face became more and more calm.
"Seeing this, I know that I am not a passerby, I am Ji Xia, the lord of the Taicang human race!"
"Maybe my mission is to lead these creatures with the same blood, the same appearance, and the same origin out of the predicament. ”
"But if you want to play with those behemoth races, my cultivation is not enough!"
Ji Xia's heart suddenly swelled with a throbbing: "I still need more powerful strength to protect these lovely and kind people." ”
The big snow mountain in his body emitted bursts of faint light, and the spirit yuan like a small river inside seemed to be boiling and excited.
The Great Sun Zhenling Furnace flew out of the snow-capped mountains, and two three-legged golden crows flew out from the edge of the furnace, constantly emitting crisp, cheerful chirps!
Ji Qianqing and Shi Yang, who were at the bottom, suddenly felt a strange aura rising from Ji Xia's body.
They glanced at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Lord Ji Xia, to break through the heavenly barrier, is extraordinary.
