Chapter 442: The Eldest Princess in the Pit (One Hundred and Ninety-Two)

Early the next morning.

The officials of the city embassy reported the news of the envoys of the two countries and one city in Nanyang to the central court.

The contents of the report included information on the identity, country, purpose, and gifts brought by the envoys of the three countries.

The relationship between the New Nanyue Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, the bearing of the eldest princess and the eldest prince of this country, and the six sea overlords they brought are the objects he focuses on described.

No matter how fast it is, it will take more than a month to deliver the news from Guangzhou to Chang'an.

Mrs. You has already heard from the officials of the Municipal Embassy that it is not easy to meet the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, after receiving the report from the city's embassy, the imperial court would also send a special eunuch or official to Guangzhou.

Only when the central court has seen the envoys will it decide whether to let them enter Beijing.

If it is within the visible range, the eunuchs or officials who come will accompany them to Chang'an.

On the way to Beijing, you will have to pass through a series of post stations and checkpoints, each of which will be received and inspected by corresponding officials.

Even if you go through layers of checkpoints and finally arrive in Chang'an City, you can't see the Son of Heaven right away.

They returned to Honglu Temple to receive them.

As for when he will be received and invited to the banquets and celebrations of the imperial court, he will continue to wait for notice.

In a word, the process is complicated, and there is a wait!

When you get to someone's territory, you can only follow the host.

That night, the group settled down in the building arranged by the officials of the Municipal Embassy.

The lord of Morabrum and the lord of Danabanzal City, who could not understand Hokkien, immediately pulled a cadre of the New South Vietnamese Kingdom to humbly ask for advice, saying that he wanted to learn the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty with them.

Someone laughed secretly, Hokkien is not a Tang Dynasty official dialect!

Anyway, being idle is idle, and you can learn if you want to.

is different from the apprehension of others, for Mrs. You, what is the difference between arriving in Guangzhou and returning to her hometown?

With a new map, of course, you have to study the layout of the whole city first.

The aerial footage taken at night from the Argentine giant eagle shows that the entire city of Guangzhou is surrounded by a city wall more than six meters high and four city gates in the east, west, north and south.

Outside the city wall, there is also a moat more than ten meters wide.

The location is about Yuexiu District and Liwan District in later generations.

Interestingly, Guangzhou City implements the management system of the inner square and the outer city.

Fang is a residential area.

The city is a business district.

The squares in the city are strictly hierarchical, the official authority is magnificent, and the dwellings are concentrated at the foot of the city wall.

Outside the city, it is full of flowers and life.

In particular, the commercial wharf along the river in the south of the city is the most prosperous.

This place is densely populated, with a lot of shops, and the city embassy that received them is also here.

At this time, the "closed-door drum" has sounded.

Look at the watch, nine o'clock!

The lights have long since gone out inside the city, but outside the city is a different scene.

The wineries and restaurants on the street are lined up, and the lanterns are hung high in front of the door, and the aroma of good wine and wine is fragrant.

Walking in the brightly lit night market, Mrs. You took a deep breath of the smell in the air and felt hungry again.

The lord of Morabrum, the little prince and the lord of Danabanzal City, who followed the two sisters and brothers, only felt that their eyes were not enough to see.

It's no wonder that they haven't seen the world, and night markets like Guangzhou City are not common in Datang.

How can you just visit the night market?

In less than ten minutes, Mrs. You led more than ten people to find a restaurant with the most popularity and the most guests.

Their arrival made the restaurant quiet, which was already noisy, for more than a dozen breaths.

You Dalang's wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, as well as his height of 1.95 meters and bulging muscles, are very eye-catching.

The lord of the kingdom of Morabrum, the little prince and the lord of the city of Danabanzal succumbed to the throne in strange costumes.

Before the diners could wake up, a woman with a high hair comb and a gilded fish-shaped silver hairpin, wearing a splendid long skirt and a brocade belt on her chest, exuded fragrance all over her body.

Her Hokkien language is unusually brisk and enthusiastic: "Today, our small restaurant is a distinguished guest, please come in, please come in." ”

For the natives of the island, who are accustomed to seeing unclothed people, the waves under the light tulle dress on the proprietress are not worth mentioning at all.

In the translation province of Her Royal Highness the Princess, sit down generously!

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was arrogant, said, "Shopkeeper, hurry up and bring all the specialties of your restaurant!" ”

The woman froze for a moment, and after a long time of recalling in her head, she did not match the guest.

I thought he was a Fanbang barbarian, but he couldn't speak Hokkien dialect, but he was not very good at tricking people.

"Wait a minute, the slave family will go down and prepare!" The woman shook the handkerchief from her hand, and another fragrant breeze blew to her nose, and she turned around and went to the back kitchen.

Well, this walking posture is called a graceful one.

It's the group of wild boars she brought who can't eat the chaff.

Diners from near and far began to bow their heads and whisper after hearing Mrs. You speak.

In less than five minutes, there was a little brother who ran to serve them food.

"Distinguished guests, please use our restaurant's signature snacks and grilled owls!"

A string of five charcoal-roasted birds golden brown, smaller than a normal chicken and larger than a pigeon, was placed on their table.

What is an owl?

Answer: Owl!

Mrs. You consciously felt that her teeth were a little itchy, and she lamented that the torture birds of later generations had not been eaten by the people of Guangzhou.

Everyone is watching how she acts.

It is impossible to drop the chain!

I saw that she tore a bird's leg without changing her face, put it in her mouth and chewed.

After eating, I didn't forget to comment: "It tastes delicious!" ”

In an instant, the remaining torture birds were swept away.

Seeing that the first signature dish did not stump them, the shopkeeper decided to bring them a big dish.

After a while, I saw that the little brother brought a charcoal stove and put a basin of water on the stove.

Everyone is puzzled, what kind of soup is this?

Wait until the water starts to smoke, and the mystery will be revealed!

Mrs. You complained frantically in her heart: Someone really brought the boiled frog to the table, what is the match between a big taro and a frog?

The diners' eyes widened.

As the water temperature rises, the frog, which was still swimming comfortably, hugged the taro tightly and did not let go!

And then, it's cooked!

Someone slandered while eating: Datang Guangzhou people's cooking methods are too wild, right?

And that's not all!

After seeing her frown and eating a frog, the owner of the restaurant served her a dark dish that she would never forget.

Before today, she dared to boast, what way to eat crabs she hadn't seen before?

After tonight, she had to admit that she had a limited diet.

Sugar crabs!

Crabs marinated with salt and sake lees for a certain period of time, and honey added.

It's so sweet that it kills her!

This dish impressed her more than ant sauce and a smorgasbord tea with green onions, ginger, peppercorns, jujubes, cinnamon, and salt.
