Generally, few people come to this kind of banquet for the purpose of eating, but as the dishes are served on everyone's low tables, even Shedan and Ramona, who think they have eaten many rare foods and treasures, can't help but be amazed by the sight in front of them. All kinds of unnamed foods attract attention.
First of all, the utensils that contain these foods. Ramona has been here for two days and already knows that this kind of utensils that are particularly beautiful, smooth and shiny are called porcelain. Porcelain as one of the trade items.
Snake Dan has seen pottery before, but making fine pottery is not as good as the beautiful utensils that reveal the luster of the crystal in front of him, but he does not see the exclamation of the porcelain on his face, but he is already prepared in his heart to get this kind of utensils no matter what. Method plan.
Everyone in Jiuyuan has been paying attention to the expressions of these two distinguished guests from the upper city. Not everyone can be as calm as Snake Gallbladder. Some people can't help but exclaim when they see porcelain. Not to mention the pride and elation in my heart!
The superior Yuan Zhan raised his hand, "Jiuyuan doesn't have much food at the moment, and it's early summer, only these can serve guests, but the most important thing is that the production method is that the priest of my tribe got the guidance of the God of Food in a dream, and used a special sacrificial offering. Sacrificial food is used to keep the soul power and its own energy in the food to the maximum extent, and it will feel more delicious when eaten, and it also has many benefits for the body."
In fact, there is no need for Yuan Zhan to explain. The envoys from the two cities no longer feel that they are just simple food when they look at the food in front of them. Even if they come from the upper city, their food is mainly boiled and roasted. Nothing too fancy.
But this wild tribe in their imagination not only brought out new utensils as beautiful as moonstones, but also the food contained in those bowls and plates was completely beyond their imagination.
Frying, steaming, frying, steaming, brushing and simmering, marinated, smoked and frozen...
The changes in Jiuyuan in the past five years are not limited to the force and the distribution of power. There is a priest who has eaten countless delicacies. After the food gradually becomes abundant, how can he bear the daily routine of only cooking meat and vegetables and grilling fruits
So one day, after the priest made offerings to the gods in the newly built temple, he told everyone that in order to reward his people, the ancestor gods specially sent a god of all food to teach him new methods of making various foods. The people of Jiuyuan will taste all kinds of delicacies that only the gods can taste.
In order to let everyone get this kind of motivation for a long time, Yan Mo did not tell all the cooking methods he knew at the beginning, but told new cooking methods in the name of rewards and blessings every once in a while.
This guy doesn't know how to cook most complex dishes, but he can tell a little bit about the techniques. He just wants to pass on the new cooking techniques. As for the final development, he is very happy to see the results.
With the expansion of the tribe, more and more new crops were discovered, and the condiments were naturally enriched. Things like cumin, cinnamon, star anise, onion, ginger and garlic have basically appeared, and the taste of seasoning has also developed from simple salty taste to sour, sweet, and spicy.
The sour taste does not come from vinegar, but the current dwarf tribe discovered a fruit that grows around their settlements. This fruit is black in color, only as big as a fingernail, and grows big as it grows. It doesn’t taste good, but The squeezed juice is slightly fermented to become natural vinegar juice.
Yan Mo occasionally found this kind of fruit in the trade items sent by the dwarves. After asking the guide, he confirmed its function. Now the tribe has planted this kind of fruit as one of the crops around, and named it vinegar fruit .
Having said that, seeing so many delicacies, including Ramona and snake gall, the envoys from the two cities did not dare to do anything casually, and they didn't even know how to eat them. But how were they willing to show their ignorance in front of a group of former barbarians, so the envoys from the two cities were obviously drooling, but they still held back and didn't do anything.
But they really can't bear it anymore! They can try their best to restrain themselves not to look at it, but the complex scents that they have never smelled before are also drilled into their nostrils. Ancestral gods, this is indeed the method of making divine food handed down by the gods of food. Pity them, if they don't close their mouths tightly, the saliva hoarded in them will flow out!
Oh, these hateful Jiuyuan people, why don't you hurry up and do it? We only know how to do it after watching you eat it!
Er Meng squeezed his eyes at Lamo Ling.
Lamo listened to the elder sister who was making a solemn appearance on the opposite side, and curled the corners of his lips unlovingly. He didn't hate this sister, but he couldn't say he liked her either. Unlike the other two brothers, his elder sister often troubled him, but she didn't help him much, and she was even a bit shy about him, so she didn't get in touch with him if she could.
He never expected this elder sister to use her good relationship with the high priest to help him, and now he naturally would not use his position in Jiuyuan to help this elder sister achieve her goals.
Ermeng leaned in front of La Moling and said in a low voice: "Your sister is pretty, is she married?"
La Moling was very speechless to this friend who was so bold and bold, who almost never refused to come to the door, "She has a very high vision."
Er Meng seemed unable to understand what he meant, and asked excitedly, "What do you think of me?"
Before La Moling could answer, he said to himself again: "Boss seems to be looking for someone to get married, I think he will find me, although I don't really want to find a woman to take care of me now, but in order to let Jiuyuan more An ally in the upper city, I... can sacrifice my freedom, but fortunately your sister looks good."
If it wasn't for the fact that La Moling and Ramona didn't have a good relationship, and he also knew Er Meng better, any elder brother would want to beat him up for Er Meng's words.
"I don't think the person Ramona is looking for is you." Ramona pointed out directly.
He sneered fiercely, "I know, she has her eyes on the boss, right? All the princesses who want to get married want to marry the boss, but the problem is that the boss belongs to our priest, if he dares to find a woman, the ancestor gods will definitely punish him to become a god. eunuch."
Lamo glanced at the original battle of the superior, he always felt that the other party seemed to have heard their whispered conversation, "...Is that so, I think the ancestor god will punish you first, is one month enough?"
Meng looked at him vigilantly: "Did you curse just now? Did you secretly learn a few tricks from Mr. Curse, why do I think you usually curse me very effectively?"
"If he really curses you, he will definitely turn you into a woman."
"Yuan Bingkuo, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Bing ignored Er Meng, and kept looking at the group of Tucheng who were not far from their seats.
La Moling followed his gaze and saw the veiled woman who was sitting still, and gave two strange smiles with no clear meaning.
Seeing that the appetizers were served, Yuan Zhan habitually clenched his right hand to his heart and lowered his eyes.
Yan Mo did the same.
Under the leadership of these two people, before the people of Jiuyuan in the hall moved their chopsticks—the priest said that using chopsticks can train the dexterity of fingers and make people smarter. Thank you for the contribution of all the food, we will definitely not waste it."
The envoys from the two cities looked at Ramona and Shedan together. Seeing that it was the ancestor gods who praised and thanked them, and no one dared to offend the ancestor gods, they both repeated it.
The Jiuyuan people picked up the chopsticks, and the envoy from the two cities froze again. How to use these two beautifully crafted wooden sticks
Damn! They are obviously the envoys of the upper city, the most noble envoys of the upper city! Obviously they should teach these savages the dining etiquette, and it should be their demeanor that frightens these savages, why do they look like they came from the savage tribe now
Ramona and the people from Yincheng are better. They have been here for two days anyway, and the friendly and enthusiastic waiter Jiuyuan has explained to them how to use chopsticks and spoons. Even if they are not proficient in using them, they will not make a fool of themselves on this occasion.
But the people from Tucheng were brought into this hall when they first arrived. They didn’t even have a chance to tidy up their clothes, and how could they know how to use chopsticks? However, these two wooden sticks seem to be easy for Jiuyuan people to use. What's wrong
Yuan Zhan already felt that he was very generous when he could let the Tucheng people sit in the hall to participate in the banquet. He would not kindly arrange for them to serve food. To be honest, he wished that these Tucheng people would make a fool of themselves. Don't think he didn't notice the eyes of these Tucheng envoys who wanted to pretend to be contemptuous but full of greed after entering Jiuyuan!
Yan Mo doesn't care about the turbulent waves in the dark, if he says don't waste it, then don't waste it, don't look at him as the highest priest in Jiuyuan, usually with Yuan Zhan, it's just four dishes and one soup, the only advantage is that there is no limit, because Someone is especially good at eating.
Although Jiuyuan is not short of food now, due to geographical constraints, most of their crops are cooked once a year. If there is not a lot of wasteland reclaimed, they may not be able to supply food for nearly 20,000 people. Because of this, they turned their minds to the basin between the two forests in the west of Jiuyuan.
The two of them had visited the basin several times beforehand. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. The temperature inside was suitable, the air was humid, and it covered a huge area with many lakes. It was an ideal planting base.
If this basin is developed, not only can they open a land route, but the water route is also very convenient.
Yan Mo was thinking about things in his heart, so he didn't pay much attention to how Yuan Zhan treated his guests.
The envoys from the two cities saw that the people of Jiuyuan had already begun to enjoy the delicious food, and they couldn’t wait to start. The people of Yincheng were better, they ate slowly but they could eat it in their mouths anyway, but the people of Tucheng just wanted to do it but found that Their third chief priest, Shedan, didn't move at all. At that moment, other Tucheng people also hesitated, and those who had already grabbed their chopsticks had to put them down slowly.
Is it for face or to satisfy the desire of tongue? This is really a terrible tangled problem!
The Jiuyuan people let go, everyone ate and drank, and talked to each other as usual, some people got along well and simply moved their small tables together, and everyone talked together.
Although Wu Chen and Ye Xing were young, they had already been trained to be very tactful. They came here specially to accompany the Envoy of Yincheng, and introduced to them the names, functions and ways of eating of various foods, but they didn't say how to do it.
People in Yincheng have Wu Chen and others to accompany them, so they have face and face, and they don't feel excluded, and they are happy to eat and chat with Wu Chen and others.
What is completely different from the whole lively hall is a group of Tucheng envoys sitting opposite the Yincheng envoys.
The snake dared not move, and the others did not dare to move, even if the scent from around them tempted them to swallow their saliva.
Snake Gallbladder seemed to be unaffected. He picked up a fruit to play with, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. That Lord Mo Wu?"
There was a strange silence in the hall.
Yan Mo put down his chopsticks, took the cloth towel handed over by the waiter next to him, and wiped his hands and mouth.
Bing and Ding Ning Ding Fei knew the details, and they all looked at She Dan with a bit of indescribable ridicule and pride. Our Lord Mo Wu is sitting on top of you, but it's a pity that your ordinary eyes can't see it at all!
Answering directly is "hey" twice, that voice sounds irritating.
This is also the question that Ramona wanted to ask. When she saw that the snake dared to ask, she also put down her chopsticks, which had not moved much, to see how Yuan Zhan would answer.
Yuan Zhan doesn't like to use chopsticks very much, he prefers to eat with his hands, but every time he does it directly, the priest of his family will hit the back of his hand with chopsticks, and over time, he also gets used to it.
Picking up a piece of fat braised pork with chopsticks, Yuan Zhan ate it with his mouth wide open. When Snake Gallbladder got impatient with waiting, he said slowly, "What do you mean by Tucheng? We, Mo Wu, are sitting here. But turning a blind eye, is this looking down on our Jiuyuan and wanting to challenge? If so, you don’t have to come... "
"Boss Zhan!" How could She Dan wait for Yuan Zhan to finish the sentence, "I'm not blind, I can't fail to see if Lord Mo Wu is there, you said Mo Wu is here, may I ask where he is?" where?"
The people of Jiuyuan made noises, and many people glared at the people of Tucheng. Your mother! Our priest is sitting next to the leader, and you still ask where he is sitting. Did you do it on purpose? You also said that you are not blind, how blind are you!
The friendly and harmonious atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and many Jiuyuan generals stood up directly.
The Tucheng people stood up together.
She Dan didn't want to lose her momentum, so she slowly stood up and faced her boss.
Bing suddenly sneered, "Your eyes are not blind, but how can you, a priest who is not favored by the gods, see the true face of my greatest priest in Jiuyuan. Even if he is standing in front of you, the gods don't want to let the filthy If anyone sees him, you will never see him!"
The people of Tucheng were furious, "Bold! How dare you, a savage from a wild tribe, insult my High Priest of Tucheng!"
"Savages? You don't even know how to use chopsticks, and you haven't even seen the many delicacies bestowed by the gods. How dare you call yourself an upper city? Don't discredit your gods. What you worship is really the god of the earth? Or the God of the Earth has given up on you long ago and refused to accept your sacrifices, otherwise, how could you not recognize the ancestor god priest, Lord Mo Wu, and the real blood of the God of the Earth right in front of your eyes?" This guy Bing usually doesn't speak, and when he speaks It can poison people to death.
Er clapped his hands fiercely, slapping the table for fear of chaos: "Well said!" As long as Bing was not talking about him, he would still appreciate Bing's vicious mouth.
The people in Tucheng were trembling with anger. Many of them have traveled to many places as envoys, and they have only seen those forces respecting them, wishing to kneel on the ground and lick their toes. When meeting them, they will treat each other with courtesy and dare not neglect at all. This is the first time I have seen a tribe like Jiuyuan who deliberately shows off to them, deliberately provokes them, and even despises and ridicules them.
But scolding them as savages, their clothes, food, supplies, and housing are even better than those of them from the upper city.
Let's start the fight directly, their brave man hasn't given instructions yet, so he is really aggrieved to death.
The Tucheng people thought they were aggrieved now, but they didn't know that the aggrieved was still to come.
Although She Dan didn't want to admit it, his eyes still met the boy sitting next to Yuan Zhan.
Yan Mo smiled softly at him.
Snake Gallbladder met his gaze, those eyes... !
"You are that old silent witch?" Shedan couldn't help changing his face for the first time when he came to Jiuyuan, his tone was full of disbelief.
"Has Mr. Shedan finally recognized our priest?" Yuan Zhan finished eating the food in front of him, and transferred the rest in front of Yan Mo to himself. He and Yan Mo were using the same table.
"Impossible. You were obviously an old man back then. I've seen you several times. You can't pretend to be like that." The shock was too great, She Dan thought too much at this moment, and his thoughts were a little confused.
Ramona also looked up at the young man above in amazement. She had seen with her own eyes the appearance of the old priest who had almost come back from the dead. With his old face and snow-white hair, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for him to be a young man. It's a pity that the appearance of the silent witch's soul was not clear when it manifested. It is said that the soul can show a person's true appearance. But no matter what, she never expected that after seeing that silent witch again, he would become so young.
Is this silent witch already so young, or is he rejuvenated? After all, Ramona knew that Yan Mo was extraordinary because she had seen Yan Mo perform the soul manifestation. She even wanted to become the disciple of this silent witch, and she had a high priest of Lanyin who had lived for two hundred years and was still young by her side. She was not particularly shocked by Yan Mo's real appearance. It's just that when I think of the relationship between that old witch and Yuan Zhan, I feel weird.
But Snake Gallbladder is completely different. He can be sure that the old witch he met back then has no possibility of pretending to be old, and Yan Mo is different from other long-lived people. !
She Dan subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to touch her face, but she reacted temporarily and held back.
But his mood was as excited as the sea swept by the wind. This silent witch must have mastered some special secret technique, maybe it has something to do with his meddling in Yuan Zhan. He had also heard that some nobles and priests in the cities believed that mating with young people could gain their spiritual energy. It seemed that such rumors were not groundless, but they did not grasp the correct method.
If he can get this method of gaining the vitality of others, wouldn't he not have to worry about becoming old, maybe he can live forever like some legendary demigods.
She Dan looked at Yuan Zhan with scorching heat in his gaze.
This person must be the key!
At this time, She Dan didn't notice, Wu Yan who was standing beside him looked at the superior Yuan Zhan, his face was pale and his body was crumbling. He wanted to speak to Shedan, but he opened his lips several times, but he couldn't say a word.
His divine blood ability is level eight, and he can see the abilities of all fighters below level eight. If it is level nine, he can't see it, but he can feel it through experience. But the person above, not only couldn't see anything, but also felt a heartfelt fear, which was an instinctive fear of a power that surpassed himself too much!
