Chapter 57: Who in the world can know you (Part 2)

In fact, the Prince of Goryeo did not mean to blame Zhao Xing. Goryeo surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty for a long time, and they were used to being vassals. At the beginning, they wanted to get help from Song and fight against Liao. Unexpectedly, Liao regarded them as servants, but Song regarded them as partners...

In fact, the Song Dynasty was not suitable for this kind of partner-style national exchanges. After all, they had been accustomed to being in the Celestial Empire for too long. Although the letters of the country regarded Goryeo as an equal country, the Song Dynasty officials still maintained their past concept of tribute when they interacted with Goryeo.

From two aspects, the Prince of Goryeo was used to the attitude of his subordinates, and Zhao Xing was not used to it, so both sides did not feel abnormal about each other's behavior. After a brief exchange, the knot was untied and the two laughed at the "offensive" meeting.

The sound of singing and dancing was still the same, and more and more North Korean officials came to visit. The officials uploaded the "cultural products" brought by Zhao Xing - porcelain plates for printing poetry and silk cloth for famous copybooks. The situation in the venue was warm and noisy.

Park In-kwang and Prince Goryeo became the targets of officials' pursuit, and they no longer had time to take care of Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing calmed down and found that he was hungry. He looked down at the food on the dining table and was immediately furious.

A few plates of poor vegetarian dishes; a persecuted, weak figure, thin and dry bird; a few plates of fruits - is this a feast?

Seeing the "vegetable" in front of him, Zhao Xing felt hungry. The hunger increased his anger. He resisted the desire to turn the table up and had to drink wine frequently to eliminate hunger.

The scene in front of him reminds him of a classic modern scene. There is often a scene in Korean dramas - a housewife bought a few kilograms of pork chops and even showed off to her neighbors.

In the eyes of most Chinese, the lives of ordinary Koreans shown in Korean dramas are very rich. However, this scene of buying pork makes some people realize that the wealth of Koreans is all fake, and they usually can't afford to eat pork.

Zhao Xing was picking up a piece of platycodon and chewing it in his mouth in anger. Suddenly, a scene of two Japanese people dipping in vegetable soup for dinner flashed in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and slowly put down his chopsticks.

Do Koreans, like Japanese, have the custom of not eating animal meat? Ahhh, maybe this guess is just close to the truth of the matter!

This is the truth!

In the Korean drama that Zhao Xing saw, the Korean housewife bought pork chops to show off to her neighbors, not showing off her wealth, but showing off: her eating habits are close to the nobles.

Like Japan, South Korea also has the habit of banning animal meat, especially in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, where most of the citizens were Japanese immigrants, and the Japanese established two colonial countries here. They brought Japanese dietary preferences to southern Korea. Later, colonial rule strengthened this dietary custom.

The eating habits developed for thousands of years are not so easy to crack, which has led to the habit of not eating animal meat. In addition, the infiltration of Buddhist culture has led to the fact that only the nobles can eat animal meat at will in Korea without psychological barriers.

The way to eat poultry in Korea is also very interesting, that is "Korean barbecue". However, in this era, the word "Korean barbecue" had not appeared yet. Its official name is "Han (Tang) roast", which is the "roasted" method in the Chinese idiom "popular".

The poor little bird on the mat was a kind of aristocratic treatment, and many civilian-born officials did not have roasted birds on the mat.

If you want to take ordinary Song people to attend such a banquet, you will think about winning glory for the country. You would rather go hungry than touch the tortured bird in front of you. However, Zhao Xing is not restricted by ordinary etiquette. His eyes rolled a few times and decided to be a Korean nobleman completely - he would never eat anything other than birds.

Zhao Xing's Taotie statue caused whispers from the Goryeo officials, but Zhao Xing ate as if no one else was around and ate it left and right. After a dish of a shriveled bird, he felt that it was not enough, so he simply swept the left and right together.

The discussion gradually became louder, and some people seemed to be questioning Zhao Xing's identity as a disciple of Su Shi. Park In-kwang explained to everyone that Zhao Xing was eating wildly, and suddenly a poem appeared in his mind. He sang wildly: "If life is just like the first meeting,

Why is the autumn wind sadly painting a fan?

Changes in the hearts of old friends,

But I think that old friends' hearts are easy to change.

After the speech of Mount Li, the night is half gone.

I will never complain about tears.

How can I be as happy as a man in a brocade,

I wish you a day when you are together."

"Okay!" The Goryeo officials cheered loudly.

If you just eat and drink wildly, Zhao Xing will look like a rural savage and vulgar man... However, if you add a poem and a poem of good quality, it will be called "famous scholars' romanticism" and "unrestrained true nature"...

In short, there are many words of praise that praise this kind of delicious eating and drinking.

The banquet reached a climax, everyone was shouting wildly, everyone was chanting their own poems, and the atmosphere was warm, and even the illiterate old slave in the doorman felt that he should write a poem to show that he was qualified to keep the door for this "literary event"...

When Zhao Xing opened his eyes the next day, he caught his eyes with Park Ing-kwang's admirational look. This look made him frightened. He quickly checked himself. When he found that there was no damage, he asked carefully: "Mr. Park... so early, should you avoid it and let me change my clothes and get up?"

Park In-kwang stared at Zhao Xing and recited affectionately: "If life is just like the first meeting..."

This sentence scared Zhao Xing into a cold sweat. He quickly pinched the corner of the quilt and interrupted the other party: "My Lord Park, don't look at me with this kind of eyes. This makes me... my knife, who hid my knife?"

Park In-kwang handed over a poem and continued with excitement: "...Why is the autumn wind sadly painting a fan?"

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment: "So familiar, this sentence is so familiar, who said it?"

He lowered his head and read the poem carefully. This poem seemed to awaken the deepest thing in Zhao Xing's memory. He felt it was very familiar, but he tried hard to remember who did it. Anyway, it shouldn't be done by the Koreans.

"I did it!" Park In-kwang admitted honestly: "Yesterday, my nephew got drunk and recited this 'Meeting Poem' loudly. My nephew is worthy of being a disciple of Mr. Su. This poem is good. I took the liberty and copied this poem privately. I took a look at it. Is there any mistake?"
