Fish chopsticks, commonly known as chopsticks, are two slender wooden sticks that can be used to pick up cut food. There is no need to cut cooked fish, and the tender meat can be picked up directly with chopsticks.
.Xiling looked at these barbaric people with great interest.
Do they know how to use chopsticks? It turned out that most of them can. A few people looked at the people around them hesitantly and picked up the chopsticks even though they were not very skilled. There were also some impatient people who directly stretched out their hands.
, and my hands were burned.
This banquet is also different from the formal banquet in Ba Yuan. There is a knife next to each pottery plate. It is a stone knife made of translucent obsidian. The spine of the knife is thick, and the tip and blade are very thin.
It is straight and very sharp. This kind of knife can be used as a dagger for cutting up prey, or it can be tied to a long pole and used as the tip of a spear.
Putting a knife on the banquet table is a very rude behavior in various countries. It not only means that the person who prepared the food did not do his job well. Because this is either a place where family members gather around the elders to eat, or where they are waiting.
It is an occasion for guests, and the knife is a kind of murderous weapon. It is indecent and ominous. Sharp and hurtful knives cannot be put on the table at formal banquets. The food must be cut before it is served, and the people at the table must
Just use chopsticks and a spoon.
It's fine that the people in Huawai didn't understand these things, but the attentive Xiling found out that Mr. Shan didn't have a knife at hand. Maybe he didn't need it at all. The chopsticks in his hands made him very proficient. Although other clan leaders had knives at hand.
, but no one picked it up, because you don’t need to eat fish, you basically use chopsticks and your hands.
Everyone ate lively and attentively, and soon there were only fish bones left on the plate. The fish shell waved, and the clan leader put a new plate in front of the clan leaders, and everyone continued to eat hard.
This kind of good food is difficult for even the tribe leaders to eat, because not every tribe can fish and can find a place to fish, and today's fish tastes particularly delicious. The appetite and stomach of the barbarian tribesmen are both
It's amazing that during periods of famine, they sometimes go without food for several days. But if they catch prey and have a full meal, they can last for several days.
The heads of each tribe had their mouths idle, and of course they had no time to gossip. Xiling also noticed that Ruoshan was eating slowly and leisurely with chopsticks. When others had almost finished the three plates of fish, the third person in front of Ruoshan
I only ate more than half of a plate of fish.
Xiling asked with a smile: "Master Shan, the Gebu you are wearing is the same as the cloth worn by the leader of the Dake tribe. It seems ordinary, but if you look closely, it is exquisite and extraordinary. It is definitely not something that ordinary weavers can weave. Ba
It is also rare to see it in the original. I see that some of the clan leaders here are also wearing the same cloth, which should be a specialty of this area. Who made it?"
The water cloth made by Granny Shui is the most exquisite fabric in this area and the most popular product of all ethnic groups. The clothing on Yu Dakei is water cloth. Ruoshan is also wearing water cloth clothes, as are several clan leaders here.
In this way, the attentive Xiling discovered it.
It was woven by Grandma Shui using her magical power in the state of Yuanshen Ding. Its texture is soft and smooth, almost close to silk, but the feeling is more refreshing than silk. Such fabric is not only extremely exquisite, but also quite valuable, at least the one on Ba Yuan.
The weavers cannot weave it.
With the size of Bayuan and its large population, of course there are masters who are not weaker than Granny Shui. But let alone masters of the Five Realms like Granny Shui. Even ordinary people who have entered the first realm and are able to practice are either important figures from various countries or from various countries.
How could the clan’s key training target be able to spin cloth himself?
For any matter that can be solved by ordinary people, among the five kingdoms of Bayuan, monks are usually not bothered to use magical powers. Of course, there are some clothes in Bayuan that are refined with magical powers, but they are definitely not what ordinary people wear.
, such as the clothes of the masters on Chiwang Hill, or the robes of the kings of various countries. They are extremely exquisite and even invulnerable to water and fire, and can protect against swords and guns.
But water cloth is water cloth, it is the clothing material of ordinary people, and it is also the most exquisite Ge cloth that Xiling has ever seen. I think back when Yu Dake sent Yu and You to find Master Yue Geng, the gifts he brought were not only the inheritance of Yucun
They bought valuable utensils and products from the mountains, as well as a batch of water cloth, which they exchanged for a lot of salt from Lucun.
Master Yue Geng confiscated these things and did not even look at them carefully. Instead, he suggested that Yu and You, as tributes representing various tribes in the wilderness, bring gifts to the king. Of course, the gifts they gave would not be taken seriously by the king.
But this matter was of great significance, so the monarch was very happy. However, after Yu and You and others left, when the monarch looked through these messy gifts out of curiosity, he realized that these Gebu were so exquisite that the weavers in the country simply
There is no such skill!
It seems that the primitive tribes in the remote wilderness should not be underestimated. There are such skilled craftsmen! Since the king felt this way, he would be more willing to send people to help the various tribes in the wilderness, and at the same time, he would like to establish a tribal alliance as his vassal. This kind of
The exquisite Gebu was a gift brought by the people of Youyu Village. Youyu Village also claimed to be the leader of various tribes in the wilderness, so it was no surprise that this item was a unique product of their tribe.
But today, Xiling saw Ruoshan and others wearing the same fabric, so he couldn't help but ask. This was just a conversation, otherwise he would just sit and watch everyone eat, and the atmosphere would be a bit awkward. Ruoshan
Just when I was about to answer, I left
Another clan chief who was nearest also heard it and shouted in a loud voice: "Master Junzhi, are you talking about water cloth? It was woven by Granny Shui of Lu Village. It is very popular here. Everyone's
The water and cloth were all exchanged from Lucun!"
The patriarch ate the fastest, and the third plate of fish was already empty, so he had time to interrupt. Xiling was slightly startled when he heard this. It turned out that such exquisite Gebu was not produced in Youyu Village, but from Lu Village.
The weaver of water cloth should be Ruoshui, another difficult master mentioned by Yu Dakei. Today, everyone reserved a seat for Granny Shui, but she herself was not present.
It turned out that he was a monk with a high level of knowledge, weaving cloth in the wilderness, no wonder he could weave such cloth. Just such a small detail has greatly changed Xiling's perception of Ruoshan and Lucun, and even
There was a vague feeling that there was something wrong with him supporting Youyu Village's plan to persuade and intimidate various tribes into forming an alliance.
All the clan leaders showed no mercy to their appetites, as if they could eat as many plates as they were brought to them. Some even thought that after eating such a delicious meal, they would not have to eat again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Yu Dakei looked at
This scene is a bit dizzying. These are fresh fish that the tribesmen caught in the early morning and were quickly transported to the Central Valley for cooking. I thought it was enough, but it seems there is still a little bit. We must control it.
When the third plate of fish was gone, the clan leaders wiped their mouths and found that there was no more fish, so they asked: "Have you finished eating the big shell?" They were satisfied and did not press for more.
Yu Dakei stood up with a smile and said: "There's more, it's being done, don't worry!... While I'm at it, I have something to say to you. The main reason why I invite you clan leaders to come here to eat fish today is
It is to welcome the distinguished guests here, Mr. Xiling, the envoy sent by the King of Ba!"
Ruoshan was the first to stand up and once again expressed greetings and welcome to Lord Xiling. The other clan leaders also followed Ruoshan and stood up to say hello. They had all said hello. Many tribesmen in the wilderness may not have heard of the Ba Kingdom at all, but after all, those here
They are all heads of various tribes. They have established settlements in the Central Valley in recent years. They are also often seen by traders from Ba. They all understand the situation and are also very curious about the arrival of the monarch's envoy.
Although the fish here is delicious, there is no wine. Mr. Xiling stood up to greet each clan leader with water from the mountain spring in a bamboo cup. All the clan leaders thought it was quite interesting. How could they be so particular when eating, and they all imitated it with laughter.
He seemed to drink all the water in the bamboo tube, and he happened to be thirsty after eating fish.
Then Xiling said loudly: "I came here on the order of the monarch. Now the disputes in Ba Yuan have been going on for many years, and the monarch also has the ambition to pacify Ba Yuan and will recruit all tribes and subordinates. A few years ago, Master Yue Geng was ordered by the monarch.
I was ordered to come here to visit the Qingshui clan and learned that the Qingshui clan was no longer here.
Then there were envoys representing the various tribes here to pay tribute to the king. Yu Dakei, the head of the Youyu Village clan, told Lord Yuegeng that the Youyu clan had inherited the land of the Qingshui clan and would lead the various tribes in the wilderness to form an alliance and return to the position of vassal of the Ba Kingdom. The monarch
Send me to help complete the alliance and express respect and gratitude to all tribes."
The heads of each tribe were surprised and asked: "Is there such a thing? Why don't we know about it?... Master Shan, are you aware of this matter?"
Yu Dakei quickly said: "Even if some of you didn't know it before, won't it become clear today? The reason why I invite you all to eat fish is to discuss this matter. It happens that the emperor is present, so we can discuss it today."
Ruoshan asked: "Dake, what are your plans to summon the clan leaders to discuss the alliance?"
Yu Dakei coughed and said: "Unite all the ministries to form a unified alliance, build a city in the central valley, and be granted the title of Ba Kingdom. Then dig and expand the road to Ba Yuan, receive the reward from the king, and open up communication with the outside of the mountain. This
It is beneficial to all departments. Master Shan, what do you think?"
Ruoshan did not answer directly, but turned around and asked: "What do you think?"
Many people replied: "It sounds good, but we still don't quite understand... Master Shan, we listen to you!"
Ruoshan asked Yu Dakei again: "What you just said is true, but building a city in this valley is not a simple task. It requires mobilizing the efforts of various tribes to operate it for many years. Who will this city belong to after it is built?
Who will command and allocate the manpower and material resources of each tribe to win the title of Ba Kingdom, build cities and open roads?"
