Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dinner Party at the Mansion (2)
The history books say that the nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period were arrogant and lascivious, and before the fall of the Song Kingdom, the nobles were even more extravagant.
Jiang Anrao and the others have always lived in the pasture, and they have no chance to feel the luxury of the Song Kingdom. When I arrived at Xiangfu today, I was first shocked by Xiangfu. A mansion in the city is bigger than their ranch!
The various preparations for the banquet are also very generous, but it is not until the time of the meal that the "trench" of Xiangjia really comes to the face.
Dad Jiang was already sitting there looking straight in the eyes.
He was certainly not surprised, but delighted!
Of course, most of these things Jiang Dad has seen, but what he has seen is either at the archaeological site or in the museum! Nowadays, these are "contemporary"!
It's fresh! This pattern, this shape! Beautiful, so beautiful!
Jiang's mother looked at Jiang's father's eyes from the side, and couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Narao didn't have a chance to touch these things, so she couldn't help but be curious, carefully looked at each of these tableware, and in order to take care of the little unconscionable people in the live broadcast room, she also specially took close-ups of various angles for each of them.
These simple and heavy bronzes are the perfect embodiment of a certain stage of civilization and are cultural treasures.
Jiang Anrao has already planned to upload a few more VLOGs to the homepage later, thinking that even if these things are not the ancient things of the plane of those little unconscionable people in the live broadcast room, they will also have great archaeological value.
The audience in the live broadcast room may not understand the specific value of these things, but everyone will appreciate beautiful things. Everyone watched it with relish and emotion.
Time to run: To be honest, I never imagined that one day, I would see the bronze vessels that can only be seen in museums, which actually contain fish, meat, and bean rice......
I'm not a plum: and it looks like it's delicious.
It's snowing: don't say it, I'm hungry!
Study hard: Is there any explanation for the placement of these things? The fish are placed vertically! I remember when I was a child, I heard people say that when eating, you have to drink one of the head and tail of the fish? What are the rules at this time?
Because I want to see these tableware, there are fewer people talking in the live broadcast room, and after a while, someone makes a fuss, and some curious babies start asking questions.
At this time, Dad Jiang can be regarded as having enough appreciation, although he still can't help but always want to touch the tableware in front of him twice, but his eyes will not be able to take his eyes off.
Seeing that someone was asking a question in the live broadcast room, Dad Jiang also answered a few words.
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: Nowadays, there is still a lot of etiquette, such as cleaning hands before serving food is one of them; Then there is also a saying about the seating arrangement at this feast: the host sits in the center, the right side is honored, and the left side is secondary.
In the case of cutlery, this is the 簋 and the 簠, these two usually come in pairs, and they are used to hold cooked food, this is the tun, which is put in something like fruit, and this bean is a dipping sauce. In this era, there were too few condiments, and cooked meat had no taste, so it was eaten with some dipping sauce.
This is a eating utensil, called a dagger, but this is not a dagger, this is actually the predecessor of the spoon we used later. Needless to say, everyone knows it.
There is also a saying about the layout of these dishes, above the table, the staple food is placed on the left, and the soup is on the right, well, this should be meat soup in Xiangfu today, and then the leftmost side below is bone-in meat, and the middle is net meat and fish.
It is also etiquette for this fish to face the owner, and it is now May, and the meat on the back of this fish is the fattest, so the fish spine is to the right. If it is winter, when the belly of the fish is full of meat, it will become the belly of the fish to the right.
This is all for the convenience of the guests to eat the best parts.
Someone should be in charge of refueling the wine later. 】
Sure enough, all the dishes were ready, and there were servants who entered with wine jars, this time they were all handsome maids in their teens and twenties, these maids were slim, with slender waists, and beautiful posture when they walked with wine jars, and they walked to the banquet one after another. With a bronze bucket with a slender crank, he scooped the wine and added wine to the wine lord on the table of the guests.
Time to run: so many beautiful girls. Arrogant and lascivious, a certain believe!
Smooth sailing: this wine stuff is also really good-looking. Is it a beast print on the top?
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: Yes, if this can enter the museum of later generations, it should be named 'amphora beast face pattern urn', this urn is actually a small urn.
The urn that catches turtles in the urn is talking about this thing. The animal pattern on the top should be gluttonous, and the type of vessel is the system of the late Shang period. 】
Smooth sailing: This would be worth a lot of money in modern times.
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: That's natural, this must be worth at least hundreds of millions. 】
When the audience in the live broadcast room heard this, they called out to the good guys!
It's time to run: Wow! Can you start eating? Quick, you guys quickly taste, the dishes loaded with hundreds of millions of tableware, are they old and fragrant!!
The audience in the live broadcast room said that they were greedy! It's a pity that I can't eat it!
After the gossip was over, the banquet naturally began, Xiang Xiang Han raised the chopsticks, and everyone also moved their chopsticks.
[An An anchor: Okay, I'll try it for you. 】
Jiang Anrao said, and took a bite of fish with chopsticks.
Then I tasted it carefully.
Well......
Time to Run: How, How?
[An An anchor: Hmm...... The taste of salted fish. 】
Catch a break:......?
[An An anchor: Of course, I can describe to you that there is no food in the sky and no in the ground, but this fish is a steamed fish that has been fishy and put a little salt, and the fish itself is still fragrant, but how delicious it is, it is not enough. 】
It's not as good as the grilled fish she made on her own ranch.
Speaking of which, she remembered and went to look at the sauce in the beans in front of her.
It is said that in this era, the most expensive thing was not meat, but sauce.
Because the sauce at this time is made by fermenting meat, I remember that the sauce when I ate grilled fish tasted very good, and I wanted to come to the family for a banquet, and the taste of the sauce was not bad.
So I reached in with my chopsticks and tasted it.
[An An anchor: Well, this sauce tastes good. Bolognese, there should be some mushrooms in it, it's very fragrant. 】
Jiang Chiyu next to him had already cut a few pieces of mutton for Jiang Anrao, Jiang Anrao took the opportunity to dig up some sauce and smear it, and then ate the meat covered with sauce in one bite.
Not! This is delicious!
Jiang Anrao ate several large pieces of mutton in one go!!
She didn't say anything, but her expression of enjoyment stimulated the audience in the live broadcast room, and for a while, "hungry" and "starved" swiped the screen, and the audience in the live broadcast room shouted that Jiang Anrao was excessive.
I don't blame Jiang Anrao for deliberately being greedy. It's really that the food in the ranch is too bad, and it is also boiled meat, but there is no sauce to match in the ranch on weekdays, and the taste is of course much worse.
Jiang Ze and Jiang Xi didn't eat much, and by the time Jiang Anrao put down the chopsticks, they had already finished eating. Jiang Xi took a sip from time to time with the wine lord, looked around at everyone, and wondered which one else he could talk to later.
Jiang Ze saw that everyone was busy eating, and he still thought it would be better to tell his father what happened today. So he got up, sat down behind Jiang Xi, and whispered to him about what happened after he was separated from him.
Jiang Xi was still listening casually, but as he listened, his face changed.
A moment of frowning, a moment of surprise, a moment of apprehension, can be described as unpredictable, very exciting.
