is not happy with Zhang Ji and other women to get married, and it is naturally not only Zhao Ji.

The moon god, who was wearing an ice-blue floor-length dress, watched Zhang Ji and Scarlet Smoke finish their salutes, his silver teeth clenched, and his delicate jade onion fingers turned white.

"Hmph, Scarlet Smoke, the man you tasted was just slept with by me, and you were just eating my leftovers."

Thinking of this, the moon god's mood suddenly improved a lot.

As for whether Zhang Ji was a cream puff before she tasted it, anyway, she didn't have the cream smeared by Scarlet Smoke when she tasted it, but Scarlet Smoke tasted the cream she smeared!

That's enough!

After the end of the ceremony, the brides want to go back to the wedding room to rest, you can also take advantage of this time to get some food to fill your stomach, and if you don't take the last step with Zhang Ji, you can also take the opportunity to read some brochures, or ask the old woman in the marriage family about the experience and process in detail.

And Zhang Ji was entangled by the guests, the congratulations were endless, and the number of toasts also made Zhang Ji gradually numb.

The good thing is that not everyone will choose to toast.

In this era, liquor was not the only drink, but was roughly divided into six types - water, pulp, liquor, cool, medicine, and elixir

Needless to say, water is not to mention, and pulp is a non-alcoholic drink such as rice soup and bean soup made from rice, beans and cheese as the main ingredients.

Drinks made from rice and beans are common, while chu cheese is made from ru-products to make drinks similar to cheese or yogurt.

醴 refers to mash, that is, rice wine, drink, and cold refers to cold porridge, which is made of cold water and rice.

In addition to these mainstream drinks, there are also drinks such as fruit juices of various fruits, and the most popular one at today's banquet is Zheshui, or sugar cane juice.

The first few are naturally common drinks for these princes, princes, generals and nobles from the kingdom of the heavens, and only the royal secret wines obtained by Zhang Ji through some channels can make them slightly interested, but Zhang Ji's water and brown sugar water make their eyes shine.

Sugar cane is not a rare commodity, although it is expensive, but it is affordable for these guests at today's banquet. However, due to the constraints of geography and transportation conditions and preservation methods, sugarcane, which cannot be stored for a few days, will quickly rot if it is not refrigerated without a large amount of ice.

At the same time, it is necessary to rent the Mo family's organ Suzaku to assist in transportation, and then refrigerate it with a large amount of ice, so that it can barely be stored for about seven to fifteen days.

The huge transportation and storage costs are a little prohibitive even for the princes, princes, generals and nobles, even if they can drink sugarcane juice once, it is an occasional thing, and it cannot be drunk at any time like Zhang Ji.

If sugarcane juice is a highlight of the banquet, then brown sugar water is a new drink that refreshes everyone.

Sugar cane juice is already a very rare drink, and brown sugar made from sugar cane is an epoch-making product.

The folk are not without brown sugar, the southernmost part of the land of Bashu, that is, Yunnan in later generations, has the earliest legend of brown sugar in China.

In the later Han Dynasty, Yang Fu's "Foreign Matter Chronicles" at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded that "(sugarcane) Changzhangyu is quite similar to bamboo, and it is sweet to cut and eat, and the juice is squeezed like glutton, and the name is called sugar", and according to the investigation of later generations, these sugars have appeared in the middle and late Warring States period.

However, the sucrose of this period was not the kind of brown sugar that was made in later generations, but the sugarcane juice was exposed to the sun and turned into a viscous semi-solid shape, which cannot be called brown sugar strictly speaking.

And these brown sugars have only been tasted by merchants who have traveled south and north to the southernmost part of the land of Bashu, and even the rest of the land of Bashu has not been spread, let alone the Central Plains and Chu.

The simplest method of boiling sugar, Zhang Ji, is still a bit understood, and the brown sugar boiled is purple in color, and it is condensed like a stone and sand.

In fact, the brown sugar boiled by this local method, at least Zhang Ji's personal feeling is far better than that of the white sugar in later generations.

This pure natural brown sugar does not have any additives, and unlike the sugar in later generations, with a taste of additives, it is easy to produce a greasy taste if you eat a little more, and the brown sugar boiled by this pure natural soil method will not have such a serious greasy taste.

A lot of brown sugar made in this way was also prepared at the banquet, and some people even secretly found the housekeeper in Zhang Ji's mansion to inquire about the origin and price of this item.

And the brown sugar water is also popular with everyone, put some longan, lotus meat and red dates and other things, the brown sugar water will become sweeter and sweeter, which makes people love it.

Thanks to these drinks, most of the cups of the guests who came to congratulate Zhang Ji were filled with brown sugar water and other drinks, and very few people came to toast with wine.

First, I drank these drinks this time, and I don't know if there will be a chance next time.

Second, everyone knows what the identities of the wives and concubines that Zhang Ji marries, Zhang Ji's current power in the Qin State, and his status among the hundreds of sons are also clear...... It's better to get into less trouble.

Of course, even if this group of people wants to fill the machine wine, it doesn't matter, what is the best man for?

In addition to these best men, Zhang Ji also called many familiar second and third generations of Jiangmen to help block the wine, which can be said to be fully prepared.

Late at night, Zhang Ji, who had already greeted most of the guests, had the opportunity to enter the back house, but the banquet did not dissolve with the departure of Zhang Ji, the host.

It is rare for princes and princes and generals to get together, and there are always some topics that they want to talk about but don't have the opportunity to talk about on weekdays, and there are even some games between countries that are going on in a staggered manner.

For example, Wei Xiang found Cai Ze, who was a pawn, and the envoys of Chu who came to the banquet on behalf of Li Yuan, and wanted to discuss with the two countries about the boycott of the army and peace.

And these have nothing to do with Zhang Ji, and under the guidance of the maid, he gradually walked towards the back house. The back house hung with red lanterns and the noisy front yard are completely two worlds, the dim candlelight is shrouded in red lanterns and casts light on the surroundings, illuminating the back house in a festive and lively way, and the red tulle hanging from the eaves verandah turns the back house into a red world.

Zhang Ji is like an adventurer exploring a new world, and he has a total of thirteen exploration goals tonight, and the first one to go is Crimson Smoke.

Scarlet Smoke is the main wife, and she is also one of the few women among the brides tonight who still maintains Yun Ying's body and does not have any absurd relationship with Zhang Ji, so even if Scarlet Smoke is the latest to enter the door among the main wives, Zhang Ji has to take care of Scarlet Smoke a little and go to Scarlet Smoke first.

Thinking of the crimson smoke in the dusk, the delicate red and gorgeous ruddy face, which is completely different from the dignified and elegant appearance on weekdays, has a different kind of beauty, Zhang Ji is more and more eager to try.

And the scarlet smoke at this moment, too.
