527 Arab Production and Construction Corps (II)

"Oh, old law, welcome! Welcome to join the big family of Datang! Tang Ping shouted at Fakhr al-Din in fluent Arabic.

At the beginning, it was the Arum army that slaughtered the caravan of the Tang Clan's trading house, so it was also Arum who had a grudge against them, and now Arum has committed suicide and martyrdom.

This Fakhr al-Din was indeed bullied by Tang Ping as soon as he arrived in Tianzhu, even if there was a siege battle behind, it would be his own master.

Now that the other party has surrendered, it is impossible for Tang Ping to say that he has to be killed, if this is the case, who in the Turkic, Tibetan and Dongyue countries that have fought with the Tang Dynasty in the past will dare to surrender.

Before and after this war, the Arab Empire was wiped out by more than 300,000 troops, so Tang Ping was no longer obsessed with revenge.

Otherwise, can the Arab genocide be stopped?

Moreover, in the future, the Arab region will become an important source of resources for the Tang Dynasty, and Fakhr al-Din, as the commander of the Arab Production and Construction Corps, still has to have a good relationship.

Fakhr al-Din was a little speechless, Tang Ping's Arabic is fluent like a person who has lived in Arabia for decades, how could he not know that he is different from their Tang Dynasty people, and he doesn't have the surname Fa at all?

But at this time, he could only squeeze out a smile and hug Tang Ping.

Today is the celebration banquet of the Tang military after the surrender, and the generals of the Tang Expeditionary Force are here, all looking at Fakhr al-Din curiously.

Including Duan Zhixuan, who came in a wheelchair.

After getting out of danger of his life, Duan Zhixuan recovered quickly, and he was always worried about the war in Tianzhu, so Tang Ping brought him back, but he was unable to move, so Gou Shaoqing gave him a pair of electric wheelchairs.

This thing made Cheng Zhijie envious, and bluntly said that after returning to Chang'an, let Tang Ping get one for himself.

"Take a seat, get in!" Tang Ping pulled Fakhr al-Din, there was no way, he was the only one who could speak Arabic, and he was the only one who could translate it, so he sat Fakhr al-Din on his left and another general Asir on his right.

They are all generals in the army, they don't pay so much attention to it, and they don't like the meal system, so they directly made a big round table with a turntable on it.

"Everyone has a good day today, for this meal, our Pingguo Gong has invited all the little cooks at home." Cheng Zhijie laughed and said: "Lao Cheng paid money today to buy some good wine from Pingguo Gong, everyone hasn't drunk for a few months, and now that the war is over, we won't get drunk or return." ”

Tang Ping glanced at Cheng Zhijie angrily and said, "Old Cheng, you are really shameless, you would say that you spend money to buy wine from me and invite everyone to drink, do you think I am embarrassed to accept your money?" ”

Although Tang Ping is not shameless, it depends on who he is right for, for these generals in the Tang Army, many of them are still his elders, and he really can't be as faceless as Cheng Zhijie.

"Hahahaha, it's good to know, then you don't bring good wine!"

"You still need to say it!" Tang Ping gave him a blank look, and when he picked up Xiaoluo, he asked Lao Cui and Lao Du to bring more than ten boxes of liquor.

"Hahahaha, you're welcome today!" Cheng Zhijie took a bottle of liquor, and like everyone he entertained, he unscrewed the lid and began to pour wine for everyone.

Fakhr al-Din and Asir had never seen such liquor, and at first they thought that Cheng Zhijie poured white water for everyone, but when they smelled it, they knew that it was not white water.

"Is this wine?" Asir asked, skeptically.

"Yes, it's a very high alcohol wine, and it's not the same wine that you ferment with dates soaked in water." Tang Ping explained.

Contrary to the modern belief that "Arab countries do not drink alcohol", before the Prophet Muhammad founded Islam, Arabs also used to be addicted to alcohol.

At that time, in the Arabian Peninsula, there were taverns where people lived, and in addition to brandy from Horan and Lebanon, people drank alcoholic beverages formed by soaking in water with dates, as Tang Ping said.

Later, when Muhammad founded Islam, it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol, but that was only for ordinary people, and nobles like Fakhr al-Din would still drink secretly at home.

Fakhr al-Din stuck out his tongue and tasted it, and then he was so spicy that he gasped: "The incense is quite fragrant, but it is too spicy." ”

It was Asir, who took the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.

Then his face turned red, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Whew, it's so cool!" ”

Cheng Zhijie patted the table and smiled: "You guy, there is a kind, I like you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Asir snapped and lay on the table.

Tang Ping shrugged his shoulders and said to Fakhr al-Din: "This kind of wine, especially the first time you drink it, you have to taste it slowly little by little. ”

As he spoke, a series of delicacies were also served.

"This is Dorama, is there this dish in Arabia now?" Tang Ping asked curiously.

Dorama is the pronunciation of Arabic, in fact, it is made by wrapping lamb in grape leaves and steaming it, which is a famous dish in modern Arabia.

Fakhr al-Din shook his head, then took a curious bite and was immediately conquered by the fragrant lamb.

"What about this? What is it? He asked, pointing to another dish of food in front of him.

"This is Kexike, and I haven't eaten it yet?" Tang Ping also specially asked Xiaoluo to make a few famous Arabic dishes, but he didn't expect that there were no in this era.

Also pronounced Arabic, this kexiko is a snack made with dried yogurt and wheat grains topped with a layer of olive oil for a salty and sour taste.

The generals of the Tang Dynasty said that this thing tasted weird, and they didn't eat much, only Fakhr al-Din ate one piece after another, and he couldn't stop at all.

I also asked Tang Ping to teach this dish to his cook.

There is a certain reason why Chinese people always like to be at the dinner table when they talk about things.

The main reason is that after a few glasses of wine, everyone seems to be familiar with each other.

Fakhr al-Din still pulled Tang Ping and went to toast Duan Zhixuan, who was in a wheelchair, with three glasses of wine, and everyone laughed and hated.

Not to mention anything else, Fakhr al-Din has a really good amount of alcohol, the first time he drank alcohol, one glass after another, eight taels of white wine, and he was only a little drunk.

Later, I heard that the Turkic generals, Fusang generals, and Nanzhao generals sitting next to them were all vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and they basically surrendered after being beaten by the Tang Dynasty, so I was even more energetic.

Tang Ping didn't accompany him, he could also pull those people to talk and compare paintings, and then drink two glasses.

At the end of the meal, the Tang generals were almost five or six points drunk.

Fakhr al-Din raised his wine glass and shouted: "Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Arab Production and Construction Corps!" ”
