Chapter 965 Peng Qi is also a foodie
"Wow wow wow wow wow~~~~~ This is Xudu!" A few days later, a team came to Xudu from Wuyi Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. The woman looked at the city wall and couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being the capital of the Han Dynasty, it is indeed majestic!"
"Hehe..." A pedestrian smiled in the distance and hurriedly left.
"Did I say something wrong?" The woman looked at Cao Hong, who was responsible for leading the way next to her.
"Xudu is just a servant, and it happened six years ago. The real capital of the Han Dynasty was actually Luoyang and Chang'an. The walls there were more majestic than here, and the streets inside were wider than here! To be honest, Xudu now looks a bit narrow, and it is no wonder he planned to move the capital back to Chang'an in the past two years." Cao Hong explained.
"Accompanying the capital?" The woman seemed to have heard of this for the first time, "But isn't your emperor here?"
"I am here for a while now, and I will go back to Chang'an in the future. Speaking of which, I would like to ask you for help this time. On the way to Hanzhong, I will pass by Luoyang and Chang'an. At that time, I can let you have a good experience." Cao Hong replied.
But even though that was the case, Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo. Although the subsequent Duan Yan noodles were repaired, it was still far from returning to the state of the great Han Dynasty.
"Then I really want to go and see!" The woman was filled with excitement when she heard this.
When you really enter this city, the first thing these two thousand people feel is not excited or curious, but feel the gaze of pedestrians around you, and then look at this bustling city that is unimaginable, you will subconsciously tighten your clothes.
Inferiority, everything here is so high-end, even ordinary pedestrians wear clean and tidy clothes. Compared with these people, the clothes made of linen and animal skins on them look so crude.
"Do we... go directly into the palace?" The woman came to Cao Hong.
"No, let's settle down at the military camp first, rest for a day, and then start to go to the palace to meet His Majesty. You don't want to let His Majesty laugh at him, right?" Cao Hong said.
"Um...um..." The woman nodded when she heard this, but felt relieved.
A quarter of an hour later, they came to the military camp. The main place was tents, but the environment was good, at least it was much more comfortable than their sloppy nest.
"Get a good rest tonight, and the food will be delivered soon." Cao Hong was relieved when he saw the person coming, "I will be there to explain to you later. Is there any problem when I see Your Majesty's basic etiquette and the precautions in the military camp?"
"No problem, we are not unreasonable." The woman replied. Although the Peng family has lived in Wuyi Mountain for a long time, their ancestors were Peng Zu. Peng Yue's civilization was only a little behind the Central Plains, but they were definitely not the kind of pure barbarian.
After a while, a man walked in and came to the woman.
"This person should be Peng Yue's leader? Hello, I am Wang Yong, the imperial chef of the Han Dynasty. I met for the first time!" Wang Yong smiled and bowed to the woman.
"Oh, I am Peng Qi... Peng Yue's patriarch... Imperial Chef, are you the chef who cooks food for the emperor?" Peng Qi replied and asked.
"Yes, I am the chef in charge of Your Majesty's diet. I heard that you are descendants of Peng Zu, so I specifically asked to come and visit. After all, for our chefs, Peng Zu is the real ancestor." Wang Yong smiled, "At the same time, some special ingredients may be used for the dishes tonight. I don't know if you have any food, so come and ask."
"Oh, we basically eat everything." Peng Qi nodded, feeling a little happy. After all, the Peng family in Wuyi Mountain basically regards themselves as descendants of Peng Zu.
"So, can snakes and turtles... be eaten too?" Wang Yong asked carefully.
"We often eat snakes, after all, the ones there are snakes. But the dragon... To be honest, they are really a treasured ingredients. Will you make them? This time, I brought several chefs from several tribes..." Peng Qi looked at Wang Yong with some concern.
"No problem, as long as you don't have any concerns. After all, I heard that some tribes over there use dragons as their totems... I'm afraid that there will be any taboos, it will be bad." Wang Yong replied quickly.
"Oh, I didn't expect that in the Central Plains, there were actually chefs who could cook croakers. It was interesting!" Peng Qi was obviously a person who loved food, otherwise he would not have followed the army and brought several chefs. At this moment, she became curious about food.
"But before that..." Wang Yong immediately added, "There are still two hours before supper time. How about you learn some new knowledge first? After all, we will meet the Emperor of Han tomorrow, so it is not easy to embarrass the people of Yue?"
"Oh, oh...that's true..." Peng Qi then realized.
"Then, the officials who teach etiquette will come soon. I will prepare dinner first. Please stay tuned!" Wang Yong replied, then said goodbye and left.
Soon, an officer came in with an official. The officer mainly explained the rules in the army. In the final analysis, it was not to run around and watch, and not to fight and other basic common sense.
The palace knowledge taught by officials is mostly concise and easy to understand. In fact, as long as you don’t make a big fuss at the banquet, don’t bring weapons in casually, don’t fight or fight, you will ignore some details.
Even if it is simple, it took an hour. After all, it took them to make sure that they have learned it so that officials can go back to submit their jobs.
"The hot water is ready. If you need to wash, you can do whatever you want." Cao Hong walked in. He had just gone to the palace to report his life, and he had just turned around.
"It's so great to have hot water!" Peng Qi was a little excited. Cao Hong, who followed them all the way, was not surprised. At first, he thought that Yue people would wash them with cold water, not even clean them. Who knew that Peng Yue strictly abides by the principle of drinking water before boiling and taking a bath after heating.
I asked, it was said that it was passed down by ancestors, and people who did not follow this rule would be punished by ancestors.
Thinking of the Jingzhou army in Wulin, Cao Hong also understood that the words of gods and ghosts were probably just excuses from Peng Yue’s ancestors. It is also possible that it was the natural law that appeared in the Wuyi Mountains for many years.
Peng Yue can live in Jiangnan where all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous substances are filled with miasma and moisture, so he naturally has their own way of life.
One hour is enough for these Yue people to clean them up. The clothes were temporarily washed and they changed into home clothes. In terms of style, they were similar to those of the short shirts and hot pants in later generations. Anyway, the fabric is relatively small, which is said to be convenient for activities.
This is the case for home clothes. The regular clothes are dressed with long trousers and short-sleeved sleeves, while the combat clothes are based on the regular clothes, with a layer of leather armor attached. Ordinary soldiers use leather armor made of ordinary beast leather. Peng Qi and several other collars wear rhino leather armor.
"By the way, when will dinner come?!" Peng Qi urged him impatiently after cleaning.
