Accepting other people's things, courtesy, this is the most basic etiquette.

Lu Qiqi greeted the guests from afar with a smile, and inquired about his origin without leaving a trace.

Without inquiring, the viscount, whose full name was Wells Donald, told his origin in a loud voice, "I am from the great Duchy of Simanios, and I am the second son of the richest lord of Wales City in the principality. I don't know this honorable city lord, which principality do you belong to, what title? ”

Lu Qiyan replied: "Our Nuwa City is a city-state independent of all principalities. ”

"Independent city-states?"

Donald was stunned, there were very few independent city-states in them. But on second thought, in this remote and savage continent, it is actually normal for the cities that appear to not belong to any tribe.

"I also came here four years ago to explore, and it's a shame to miss such a great city-state."

"Our city-state has just been founded, and we welcome Lord Viscount as the first guest of the city-state."

Lu Qi did not hide the fact that his city-state had just been transformed by the savages, and generously took Donald to visit the city-state they had just built.

Donald was a little disdainful when he learned during the conversation that the city had only just been founded, and that it was made up entirely of wild men.

Especially when the Duchy of Simanios had been established for 63 years and had the most powerful horses and knights on the continent, that sense of pride and superiority made him even more disdainful of this newborn city-state.

The outer walls of this Nuwa city-state look majestic and majestic, but the inside is a mess;

Barbarians are still savages, and many of them are still dressed in clothes made of animal skins and leaves, and they have the stench of barbarians;

Look at their tools, they are still pulling carts with oxen and sheep, and they don't even have a decent war horse......

Where there is contrast, there will be a gap.

And this Nuwa City is too backward compared to their Wells City.

It's not so much a city as it is a larger tribe.

Donald was disappointed, and even regretted that he had given the lace fan he had bought to Lu Qi - how could a tribe of barbarians use such a good thing.

He was already worried about whether the fan he had brought with him would be ruined.

At this moment, Lu Qiqi had already stopped in the conference hall with him, "Lord Viscount has come from afar, and the journey is tiring. We have prepared a little food treat, please be seated. ”

As a native of China, the first reaction of a guest at home is to invite a guest to dinner.

However, there is no special reception place in their Nuwa City, and the only house that has been built and looks good in the entire Nuwa City is the conference lobby.

Clean up, it's ready to eat.

When the clay dishes and wooden chopsticks were placed on the table, Donald studied them carefully, then looked up and said with a smile, "The cutlery in Nuwa City is really curious. ”

Although he said so, Lu Qiqi was still keenly aware of the disdain and disgust that flashed in his eyes-

A mud-baked bowl, two small wooden sticks, what kind of cutlery is this? You must know that the real nobles used silver dishes and knives and forks.

Some wealthy farmers have their own set of silver bowls.

"Don't you see that he doesn't look down on you?"

The Heroes could see that Donald disliked them.

"It's okay, I'm good-tempered."

Lu Qiqi smiled, and then signaled that it was time to serve.

Xiongbatian felt that he was hallucinating, and actually heard Lu Qiqi say that she had a good temper.

This hypocritical woman!

Xiongbatian realized that the man on the other side, named Donald, might be caught.

Donald was still soaking in the power of his city, and he was full of smugness and superiority, and the door to the conference room was opened, and plates of cut beef were sliced and placed in front of him and the knights he had brought.

The heat is mixed with a strange scent.

His attention was immediately drawn to the food in front of him, "What is this?" ”

"Sauce beef, please."

Lu Qiqi picked up the chopsticks as he spoke, and elegantly took a piece and put it in his mouth.

Donald immediately learned this, but found that it didn't work well. The hand holding the chopsticks is not like his own hand, not to mention that eating is as elegant as the city lord of Nuwa City, and it is difficult to feed the food to his mouth.

He simply put down his chopsticks, "City Lord, do you have a normal knife and fork?" ”

"Huh? What is Cutlery? ”

As a closed city lord, it's reasonable to not know what a knife and fork are.

Lu Qiqi looked at him studiously, and then was popularized by Donald.

She looked suddenly enlightened, and then shook her head, "Our Nuwa City has just been built, and we don't have such exquisite craftsmanship to make such tools for the time being. But I can teach you that the top chopsticks are controlled with the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and the lower chopsticks need to be fixed so that they can hold the food. ”

Donald tried again, but it still didn't work.

Finally, he couldn't help it, and said: "You can't even make knives and forks, and there is indeed a slight gap between you and the real city-state." As a tribe, it is still necessary to take one step at a time. If that doesn't work, Viscount Ben can send some people to help you manage the tribe. ”

Speaking of which, the viscount, who was originally just a guest, was moved.

If he stays in Wells, he will always be a viscount, but if he stays in Nuwa...... He glanced at the chopsticks in his hand.

Forget it, or don't.

Nuwa City is a primitive tribe, and even if you become the lord here, it is better to return to Wells City to be a viscount.

After he finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks, "Anyway, you should work hard and strive to make knives and forks." ”

Gou Yu was not happy to listen to it, as the most vocal person in the Nuwa tribe: "Then why don't you strive to learn how to make chopsticks." ”

"Ministry of good morality, don't mess around."

Lu Qiqi pretended to blame him, and then said, "Lord Viscount, you don't know, these chopsticks are not only a tool, but also a symbol, culture and meaning.

You see that these chopsticks are round at one end and square at the other, the circle is the sky, the square is the earth, and people stand in it;

You look at this posture of holding chopsticks, the thumb and index finger are on the top, the ring finger and the little finger are on the bottom, and the middle finger is in the middle.

You see, these chopsticks are made up of two wooden sticks, which are the concepts of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang. Tai Chi is one, Yin and Yang are two, the so-called Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, gossip all things are born and restrained by each other.

Chopsticks are not only chopsticks, but also the principle of heaven, earth, people and even all things are contained in it. ”

One of the charms of the old saying: even if others can't understand it, everyone who hears it will feel like it's powerful.

Donald used to disdain these chopsticks, but now he has a strong feeling about them. (End of chapter)
