Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 105

After setting up the camp, the soldiers were in charge of meals, and Goujian and Fengtong took a rest in the tent.

Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing each brought two swordsmen to work. Luo Changfeng brought some stones with the swordsmen to make a simple stove, and ordered the soldiers to find a lot of firewood.

Immediately, some items were brought out of a carriage, first of all, a bronze plate that was burnt black on one side. The bronze plate had some curvature, and the upper side was slightly concave, so as to ensure that the oil would not overflow.

Put the bronze plate on the simple stove, and then started a fire under it. When the bronze plate was hot, Ah Qing and two other swordsmen also brought a few cauldrons with lids over.

Open the lid, and it is full of pork. The pork has been cut into thin slices, almost all of which are pork belly. Because pork belly is the best when making teppanyaki, pure lean meat lacks a bit of texture.

Ah Qing marinated the pork belly with salt and various Luo Changfeng's "unique spices", and the rest only needs to be roasted on the bronze plate.

Luo Changfeng took out a skin pouch, but it contained soybean oil, which is the only vegetable oil in this era.

A layer of soybean oil was sprinkled on the bronze plate, and when the oil was burned until it started to smoke, he held slices of meat on the bronze plate and roasted them.

The chopsticks in the Spring and Autumn Period were not called chopsticks, nor were they called "箸". They were called "chopsticks" after the Han Dynasty, and they were not called "chopsticks" until the Ming Dynasty. Before the Han Dynasty, chopsticks were called "抱".

However, during the Spring and Autumn Period, different countries had different languages, so the writing methods were a little different. "Book of Rites" called chopsticks "heave", but "Guanzi" replaced the side of the handle with a wooden side.

Although the radicals are different, the content they emphasize is "clip", which fully shows that when the people of Spring and Autumn named the two sticks, they emphasized their practical use, which is simple and clear.

However, many people do not know that the use of chopsticks is not advocated in the table manners in "Zhou Li".

The "Book of Rites" clearly requires: "If there are vegetables in the soup, use it, and if there is no food, don't use it."

The meaning of this sentence is: use chopsticks when there is food, and use chopsticks when there is no food.

There is also "don't coerce rice and millet", that is, don't use chopsticks when eating millet, because millet is a noble food that can be sacrificed to the world. Chopsticks are not worthy of it, and it can be matched with millet. There is only "dagger", that is, the spoon.

So in fact, when the Chinese ancestors ate, they would eat Western food just like the later generations. They held chopsticks in one hand and spoons in the other.

But Luo Changfeng didn't care about these breaking rules, Zhou etiquette, etiquette, in his eyes it was bullshit, no matter how convenient it was, he could tell from the fact that he didn't let Ah Qing learn etiquette.

Seeing the actions of Luo Changfeng and his wife, four swordsmen and many armored soldiers surrounded them. In fact, the most important thing was that they were attracted by the aroma of barbecue.

And when Luo Changfeng and the others started to barbecue, the Huotou army's meal was also ready, so Luo Changfeng ordered a swordsman: "Bo Ting, go and invite the king and Doctor Feng to eat."

"Yes." The swordsman named Bo Ting swallowed his saliva, turned around and ran towards the big tent.

While Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing were roasting the pork belly, they sprinkled some wild onion flowers on it, and the aroma couldn't help but intensified a bit.

Gou Jian and Feng Tong came out soon, and as soon as they got out of the tent, they could smell a strong smell of meat from a long distance away.

Gou Jian couldn't help being interested, and smiled at Feng Tong: "I never knew that our young general not only has the sword unparalleled, but also has such a 'unique knowledge'."

Feng Tong echoed, "Yes! General Luo and Madam are extraordinary people, and they have extraordinary abilities."

While the two were talking, they reached the circle surrounded by the soldiers, and the swordsman Bo Ting shouted: "Your Majesty is here, why don't you get out of the way?"

Hearing the words, the soldiers dispersed in a hurry, and got out of the way. Fengtong waved to the soldiers and said, "Everyone go to have dinner (dinner), are you not hungry?"

The soldiers left reluctantly, and went to the Huotou Army to get food. However, they had learned Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing's barbecue methods, and they planned to try it when they got back.

It's a pity that they only learned the method of teppanyaki, but they don't know the marinating method and spices of the pork. Even if they learn it, they still can't make it so delicious.

Goujian looked curiously at the browned pork belly covered on the bronze plate, and asked with a smile, "Changfeng, what is your name?"

Luo Changfeng stood up and said, "My Majesty, this is my own cooking method, and I will call it 'copper plate burning'. I invite you to taste it."

"Copperpan roasting is interesting, so I will come to try your copperpan roasting." Gou Jian sat down on his knees with great interest, and took the bowl and pinch that Ah Qing handed over. There was already a lot of grilled pork belly in the bowl. Because after leaving it for a while, it didn't burn my mouth.

Goujian tasted a piece, his eyes lit up immediately, and he praised: "It's really delicious, haha, I didn't expect you to be so good at eating Changfeng."

Luo Changfeng said: "If Your Majesty likes it, he will pass on the method of burning copper plates to the cooks in the palace when he returns."

Gou Jian happily said, "Great kindness."

Luo Changfeng stretched out his hand to Feng Tong, and said, "Doctor Feng please."

"General Luo please."

Feng Tong also sat down on his knees, Luo Changfeng sat cross-legged, and Ah Qing sat with legs side by side.

Ah Qing looked at Gou Jian and Feng Tong, and asked, "Your Majesty, Doctor Feng, aren't you tired from sitting like this? Ah Qing usually gets tired after sitting like this for a while!"

"Uh..." Gou Jian was startled when he heard the words, and said dumbfoundedly: "This is a ritual, even if you are tired, you have to sit like this!"

Luo Changfeng said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. In formal occasions, there is nothing wrong with following the etiquette. It is a gentleman's demeanor. To put it bluntly, it is for others to see."

"However, in daily life, or in informal occasions, you don't need to pay too much attention to etiquette. You can do whatever you want to make yourself comfortable. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Goujian and Fengtong looked at each other, smiled together, and said: "Changfeng's words are very reasonable, since that's the case, I'll let my wits out for a while today, hahahaha..."

As Goujian said, he changed from sitting on his knees to cross-legged, and he really felt a lot more relaxed and comfortable. He couldn't help but get a little closer to Luo Changfeng's eyes.

Seeing this, Feng Tong also changed into sitting cross-legged. At this moment, he seemed to understand why Luo Changfeng gained the king's trust and favor.

Because when you are with him, there is no pressure at all, and you can completely relax yourself.

He has neither the style of a gentleman nor the appearance of a domineering man. To put it more bluntly, he has no ambitions, but he has extraordinary abilities. Such a person is not favored by the king, who can be favored by the king?
The four swordsmen brought food and gave it to Gou Jian and the others, and then they sat not far away to eat and were always in guard state.

　Thanks to "Qingmeng Qingmeng" for giving 10000 rewards and support, thank you Dapeng.
