Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man said something again that surprised everyone. He reached out and patted Huwa on the shoulder and said: "My child, actually, I have long wanted to kick Gong Yuan to the ground like you did."
I kicked her away so that she wouldn't be an eyesore in front of me, but it's hard to do anything! She has always been submissive in front of me and has never disobeyed me.
With my status and cultivation, I will not let her do things she shouldn't do, let alone deliberately find trouble to kick her. I came over just now after hearing the news, thinking that I could finally send her away. Unexpectedly, she listened to Gongshan
General Xu relayed your words and actually knelt down and cried in front of me, confessing his sins and repenting, so I lost another chance."
After saying that, he sighed, as if he kicked Gong Yuan away because he couldn't find an excuse, and looked very disappointed and regretful. Huwa also pretended to be concentrating on the barbecue, and said no more, but endured
Can't help but want to laugh.
The sizzling and oily meat was almost done, and the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Hougang, bring some salt and pepper."
Pepper is a kind of condiment. It is originally a small granular fruit on the tree. It is very common in the mountains and fields around Bayuan. Different varieties have different characteristics. In fact, Huwa also carries salt and pepper on his body.
If he took out all his belongings from that beast's tooth artifact, it would be enough to open a grocery store that would shock both the spiritual masters and the common people in the world.
But in front of the middle-aged man, Huwa would definitely not take anything from the animal tooth artifact. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man felt that eating meat like this was not satisfying and needed to be well seasoned. A boy in white came from the hunting garden.
Walking over, I saw that he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same height as Huwa, with fair skin and a delicate face, but his physique was not as strong and strong as Huwa.
This boy's name is Hou Gang, and he should be the middle-aged man's attendant. General Gongshanxu also mentioned it. Hou Gang is holding a plate with four wooden boxes and several knives on it. The wooden box contains
Add salt and three kinds of pepper.
The middle-aged man held the almost-cooked horse meat in front of his eyes with a branch, cut many thin strips with a knife, sprinkled the condiments on it, continued to roast for a while, then took a bite and looked at Huwa nodding.
Said: "Not bad, not bad, tastes really good
, its nourishing and spiritual effects are also refined just right. This is also the first time I have tasted horse meat. It is indeed a rare delicacy in the world, let alone a cultivated horse. It can also replenish qi and blood and strengthen muscles and bones.
It’s miraculous. This is thanks to you, thank you very much!”
Rare and exotic beasts are rare, and cultivated ones are even rarer. Even if someone gets one, they will not kill them for meat. Therefore, with this middle-aged man’s high cultivation level and high status, he is still the third
After eating this kind of delicious food for the first time, no wonder he sprinkled it with salt and pepper to prepare it well.
This scene made Panhu even more confused. He also imitated the example and "blowed" a knife to cut thin strips from the meat skewered on the branches. He also "blowed" the seasonings and sprinkled them on it, then turned it around a few times to bake it.
, it couldn't wait to take the branch and gnaw the meat. It didn't care about burning it, and was very absorbed in eating.
The boy Hou Gang stood aside and watched Panhu eating the meat. He looked a little dumbfounded. The middle-aged man seemed very satisfied with the barbecue, and waved his sleeves and said: "It's so delicious, how can we not drink it? Hou Gang, you go and get it."
Here comes the wine. Get some more glasses."
Hougang ran back to the hunting garden. After a while, he came over with a jar and a bag on his back. He placed the jar next to the fire and took out a few cups made of thin bamboo tubes from the bag. Look at him.
He looked a little tired just now. He was in pretty good shape, but his body was not light. It was indeed a bit heavy for a young man like him.
But Huwa felt a little surprised. With the middle-aged man's high level of cultivation, he thought that the boy following him was at least a monk, but looking at Hou Gang's appearance, it was obviously not the case. Hou Gang put the things away,
He also used a bamboo handle with a handle to draw wine from the jar. The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "You don't need to come. Put your things down and step aside."
This is wine! Huwa heard the mountain god introduce this legendary thing, but he has never tasted it. It is said that this thing is the essence of hundreds of fruits and the essence of hundreds of grains. Drinking it has a smoky feeling, and can
It makes people feel as if they are immortals. Unfortunately, it is brewed from grains or fruits, so it is not available to ordinary people. On most occasions, it is only used as a sacrificial offering to gods.
It is impossible for the people Huwa met along the way to have such a good thing, and in the Bayuan countries, civilians are not allowed to drink alcohol privately. It is said that drinking this stuff can make people addicted, in order to prevent people from using the stored grain to make wine and causing famine.
, so there is this provision.
The distinguished people in the country do not drink alcohol under normal circumstances, at least not in public, except on special occasions such as celebrations and alliances. Wine is a sacrificial thing to the gods. After each sacrifice, people will use the remaining wine to
Divide it and drink it. Sometimes you will also give the wine used in the ceremony to the adults to drink, which is nominally a gift on behalf of the gods.
There should be wine in the Hongyuan City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord might secretly drink a few sips on his own. But when Huwa lived in the City Lord's Mansion, he claimed that he was practicing fasting and didn't even eat meat. He only drank tea. Of course, more
I didn’t taste the wine. Moreover, if Huwa didn’t ask for wine himself, Hongyuan City Lord wouldn’t be able to take the initiative to serve it.
But today, the middle-aged man was satisfied with the meat and asked the boy to serve him wine. Huwa was still wondering if he should hold a ritual to worship the gods since he wanted to drink, but judging from the appearance of the middle-aged man, he decided to start drinking directly.
The jar containing the wine is a low-grade treasure, with the totem mark of Xiangshi Kingdom painted on the surface. This jar of wine is obviously a gift or gift from the monarch. Hougang stood aside, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the fragrant barbecue.
, although his face was expressionless, Huwa could also notice that the boy was drooling secretly, so he called out: "Little brother, please sit down and eat meat together."
Hou Gang looked at the middle-aged man with questioning eyes, and the middle-aged man rolled his sleeves and said: "The young gentleman asks you to sit down, so you sit down and eat together. Today is his treat."
Hougang sat on the other side of the fire to barbecue, and the jar of wine and a few cups were placed between the middle-aged man and the tiger baby, but the middle-aged man did not move. The tiger baby was wondering whether he should give it first
The elders poured wine, but the middle-aged man shouted into the distance: "Gong Yan, what are you still doing standing here? Come here and serve the young gentleman wine!"
Huwa was startled again. Roasting horse meat and drinking wine was already an unexpected event, so how could he let the girl from that family come to serve him? He quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't be like this, no need, no need!"
But the middle-aged man said seriously: "You said it's not necessary, so it's not necessary? This is what she should do!...Gong Yuan, why don't you come over?"
The young man in red came over with his head lowered, not daring to look into Huwa's eyes. He poured a glass of wine into a jar with a bamboo stick, placed it in front of Huwa and whispered: "Please give me a drink, young gentleman." She spoke.
Her voice was too soft, as if she was afraid of being heard by others. This gentleman had to let others serve her even if she wanted to drink a glass of water. How had she ever suffered such injustice? But in front of that middle-aged man, she had to endure it even if she didn't want to!
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man frowned and shouted: "You also know what you have committed today, and you should toast to the young gentleman to apologize! Since you are apologizing, can you have this attitude? As a gentleman, do you understand etiquette?"
Seeing the look on Gong Yuan's face, she didn't dare to refute. She picked up the thin bamboo tube containing wine with both hands, knelt on the ground and stood up. She raised the wine glass high above her eyebrows, lowered her head and handed it to Huwa, saying: "Mr.
, Gong Yuan did not abide by the etiquette and laws today, behaved arrogantly, and almost caused a catastrophe. I would like to apologize to the young gentleman, and thank the young gentleman for discouraging me from my crime!"
The tiger boy didn't even know what to say. The lady who behaved so arrogantly during the day was as obedient and submissive as a little chicken in front of the middle-aged man. She was obviously unwilling to do so, but she had to listen to the middle-aged man.
Following the young man's instructions, he had no choice but to take the wine glass and said, "You have to admit your guilt and repent. You should not just apologize to me, but also compensate the villagers here for their losses."
Gong Yuan lowered her eyebrows and said submissively: "What the young gentleman taught me is that Gong Yuan must compensate."
But the middle-aged man said coldly: "If you want to pay compensation, pay it on the spot. Don't just say it but don't do it."
When Gong Yuan went out for hunting, she would not carry pottery coins with her, but the middle-aged man ordered her, so she had to grit her teeth and take off a bunch of things from her waist, turned her head and said to the distance: "General Gongshanxu, I have
I know you were born in this village. I will use this string of gold ears to compensate the villagers for their losses. Is it enough?"
It was an accessory hanging on the belt, with a string of golden grains connected by a silk rope. It looked like ears of grain, but the "grains" on the ears were made of gold. Gongshanxu ran over quickly, holding both hands
He took the ornament and said: "That's enough, that's enough!"
Gong Yuan: "Then please trouble General and give this thing to the village chief. This is Gong Yuan's apology and compensation."
General Gongshanxu took the order and left. The middle-aged man looked at the trampled field and sighed: "Your ornaments are woven into the shape of ears of grain and you take it as a beauty. When you go out for an outing, you forget the roots and indulge in it."
Cars trample the young crops... Fortunately, it is not too late in the season and there is still time to replant. If it had been a while longer, the villagers would have only looked at the fields and cried!"
Gong Yuan poured another glass of wine for the middle-aged man and offered it to the middle-aged man: "Thank you for your teaching, sir. Please use the wine!"
The middle-aged man raised a glass and drank with Huwa. Huwa took a sip. It was very fragrant and sweet, with a slightly refreshing spiciness, and an indescribable smell, which seemed to be able to inhale the soul. When he tasted this for the first time, he felt
The taste is a bit weird, but if you smack your lips and taste it carefully, the more you taste it, the more delicious it becomes. What's more rare is that it also has a "wine smell", which makes it more fragrant as it evaporates in the mouth.
After drinking a glass of wine, Huwa focused on his inner senses based on his cultivation foundation in the initial state. He realized that this substance can promote the circulation of blood vessels. If it has spiritual effects, it can be quickly absorbed, making people feel excited and comfortable. He has already distinguished its physical properties and feels it after drinking it.
It's good, but if you drink too much, it may paralyze your body and erode your mind.
As for its effectiveness, it may be related to the person's physical strength or constitution. It is said that drinking can make people drunk. This is probably the reason. As for what will happen after getting drunk, it depends on each person's mind. With Huwa's current cultivation level
, as long as he circulates his inner breath energy, he should not be knocked down by this "medicine", and the feeling of drinking it is indeed good.
What's even better is that after drinking wine, the taste of meat seems to have become better! (To be continued...)
