Lu Dongzan's eyes widened as the maid skillfully helped everyone disassemble the lobsters and crabs on the table.

At this time, he only felt that just watching the operation of this maid could be regarded as a very high enjoyment.

Mother. Chisang Yangton quietly swallowed while the others weren't looking.

At this time, he had no intention of appreciating the maid's operation, and all he could think about was when he would be able to start eating.

Except for a plate of roast lamb chops, there was nothing left on the table that he had seen before.

At this time, he saw that the dishes had been served for a long time, but the maid was still busy on the side, and couldn't help but complain in his heart:

It's really troublesome for this Tang people to eat, since the shell of these seafood can be peeled off, wouldn't it be good to give everyone one directly?

Everyone can take it and eat it clean in a few clicks, so why waste so much time?

At this time, several other people thought similarly to him, and they were actually not interested in the little shrimp and crab meat on the dinner plate.

The people wanted to eat more than the other dishes on the table, because they at least looked like more.

After a long time, the maid was finally busy, and Tang Jian's heavenly voice finally came.

"A few officials who came from afar didn't have anything to entertain, so they expressed their hearts with this table of wine and food."

As he spoke, Tang Jian raised the wine glass in front of him and continued: "This is the most precious drunken immortal brew in my Tang Dynasty.

The official will toast you with this wine. ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Jian raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Lu Dongzan and the others were also unambiguous, following Tang Jian's example, and directly poured the whole glass of wine into their stomachs.

After a glass of wine, everyone suddenly felt a burning pain in their throats.

Immediately after that, a warm current rose between the chest and abdomen.

Mother. Chisang Yang exhaled a long breath and then spoke: "It's really good wine, strong enough and strong. ”

After his words, Tang Jian laughed and said: "This is the top wine in my Tang Dynasty, even if this official rarely drinks it on weekdays." ”

After saying this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Everyone, hurry up and try the dishes on the table." ”

As soon as Tang Jian's words were finished, mother. Chisang Yangton and others wanted to get started.

At this moment, Lu Dongzan suddenly coughed heavily.

Everyone turned their heads curiously, but found that Lu Dongzan was looking directly at Tang Jian's eyes as he used chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

It was only then that the crowd realized a very serious fact.

In addition to barley and tsampa that they eat on weekdays, they are hand-grabbed beef and mutton, when have they ever used chopsticks?

Yesterday in the canteen of Honglu Temple, they were able to pick out some familiar foods and eat them with their hands.

But today, the table was full of dishes, except for the lamb chops and the shrimp and crab meat in front of him, all with soup and water.

People don't have to think about it to know that these dishes are obviously not something that can be grabbed and eaten.

So after everyone looked at each other, they quietly withdrew the palm they were about to stretch out.

After Tang Jian skillfully sandwiched two mouthfuls of food, he found that everyone did not move the chopsticks, so he raised his head suspiciously.

When he found that everyone was looking at him with embarrassment, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hurry up, everyone? These dishes are not tasty when they are cold. ”

Tang Jian spoke again to persuade.

Lu Dongzan coughed dryly again.

Then he said a little embarrassedly, "That... Lord Tang, I'll wait... I really don't know how to start! ”

Tang Jian was able to react after hearing this.

Many of these foreign envoys didn't know how to use chopsticks when they first arrived in Datang.

Not to mention using chopsticks, many people don't even know etiquette.

For this reason, Honglu Temple also specially arranged people to teach these foreign guests to prevent them from accidentally making mistakes when they met the emperor.

Thinking of this, he immediately apologized to everyone.

Then he called in the maids who were guarding the door, and taught them how to use chopsticks.

Lu Dongzan and the others were embarrassed, and after learning with the maid for a long time, they were finally able to pick up the food.

At this time, if it weren't for the maid's attitude, it had been very upright.

And Tang Jian knew their situation very well, and a few of them were probably already under the table.

However, this embarrassment quickly disappeared under Tang Jian's hospitality.

After a few glasses of wine, Lu Dongzan and the others were already full of wine and delicacies.

This meal of wine, Lu Dongzan and the others were all drunk in a daze, and after coming out of the Jin King Pavilion, they went directly back to the Honglu Temple Pavilion to sleep.

And after Tang Jian sent a few people back to the Honglu Pavilion, he turned around and came to Li Zhi's palace.

If you want to say that there is anyone in this Datang who is best at doing business, it must be Li Zhi.

Therefore, what deals will Datang make with Tubo next, Tang Jian must listen to Li Zhi's opinion.

After Li Zhi knew Tang Jian's intention, he groaned for a while and said, "This silk, porcelain and tea must be indispensable."

In addition, salt, sugar and the like can also be sold to them. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi tapped his chin with his fingers and thought carefully.

After a while, he continued to speak: "This Tibet is a typical slave society, and the people must have little money in their hands.

Lord Tang might as well recommend some luxury goods to Lu Dongzan, so that he can quickly empty the pockets of the high-level Tubo. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Tang Jian spoke: "That Lu Dongzan seems to like my Tang Dynasty vegetables very much.

Xia Guan thought that he would definitely propose a deal. ”

Li Zhi said: "Tubo is located on a plateau, and most of the land is not suitable for growing vegetables.

Even if I sell vegetable seeds to the other party, it will be difficult for them to achieve high yields.

If the other party mentions it, Lord Tang might as well agree to them. ”

Tang Jian nodded after listening to Li Zhi's words.

Then he continued: "What if Tubo asks me for books from the Tang Dynasty? ”

Li Zhi said: "The Four Books and the Five Classics can be given to them, and it is always good for the Tubo people to learn more etiquette, righteousness and honesty."

As for other practical books, you can do it without it, and then teach it slowly when Tubo really surrenders to my Tang Dynasty. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Tang Jian spoke: "How can Your Highness conclude that Tubo will completely surrender to my Tang Dynasty? ”

Li Zhi smiled: "This person is yearning for a better life after all."

When my Tang Dynasty develops all the Qiang people around Tubo, the people of Tubo will naturally yearn for it. ”

Tang Jian felt very puzzled after seeing Li Zhi's confident expression.

Now that Datang has just brought the party item and Bailan Zhuqiang into the jurisdiction, how can His Highness be sure that Datang can develop it?

At this time, of course, Tang Jian would not know that today's Datang has gradually entered industrialization.

On the road to industrialization, traditional agriculture and animal husbandry are no longer the main source of income in the Qiang area.

Beneath the vast expanse of land there are countless minerals that are the real thing.
