Chinese dining table

Chapter 17
Lao Yangpi actually has a house in the city of Qiuci. Not only does he have a house, but he also has six beautiful and outrageous orchids serving him. Several samurai wearing half-length leather armor were lying on the ground to greet him.

After the monkey-like old guy took off his sheepskin cloak, Yunchu was surprised to find that the old monkey was actually wearing a long gown made of silk, especially when Orchid started wrapping gauze around his thin-haired head. First cover his exposed scalp, and then put a hard hat on his head. There are two streamers behind his head. Shake it slightly, and the streamers twist like snakes. It looks...more like a Only a monkey.

Yun Chu wanted to laugh, but he tried his best to hold it back, because none of the other people in the yard had a mocking look on their faces.

"This headdress evolved from the Xianbei turban. In the past, the Xianbei people wore turbans to look fierce and sturdy. After being changed by the Tang people, they looked much more noble and refined.

Cypriots believe that a man is an adult when he is 13 years old, and they believe that the sign of a man's adulthood is that he can mate to produce the next generation.

You see, Tang people are not like this. They think that a man is considered an adult when he wears his hair and wears a crown at the age of 20.

From this point of view, people are not wrong to call us barbarians. "

Yun Chu folded his arms in front of his chest, humbly receiving instruction.

Just when Yunchu set his eyes on the six orchids who were dressed in cool clothes, plump and each had a butt no less than that of a big-tailed sheep, Lao Yangpi, who had just taken a sip of milk, immediately frowned and said: " If you want a woman, wait until you are crowned."

Yunchu immediately recovered his humility, but he clearly knew that the age for a Tang man to get married is definitely not 20 years old! ! !

This old monkey is obviously not a Tang person, but he sticks to the etiquette system of the Tang Dynasty even more than the Tang person.

The thought of disdain came to his mind, and he thought for no reason that a long time ago, those people who left the Central Plains and went to Fanbang seemed to be like this.

There is nothing new in this world, and any new thing that people think is just a repetition of history.

Lao Yangpi's house is really nice. What Yunchu likes the most is that there is a meandering canal in the yard. The water is cool and clear. Under the grape trellis, the heat is gone.

She was wearing old sheepskin wrapped in colorful flowers and curled up on a couch. The patterns around the couch were cloud patterns and bats, which did not have any characteristics of the Western Regions, so they should have come from the Tang Dynasty.

Waiting for the orchids, who danced like butterflies, to bring the food, Yun Chu just took a look, and tears flowed like a flood that opened the gate.

13 years, 13 years, a full 13 years...just six years shorter than Su Wu's time of keeping a beard...he finally saw the white rice he had been thinking about day and night!
"why are you crying?"

"I got sand in my eyes."

Yunchu wiped away more and more tears with his sleeve, and when he was about to pick up the pot of rice to feast on, he found angrily that Lao Yangpi actually poured milk into the snow-white rice...

No matter how rich Lao Yangpi is, he still belongs to primitive people when it comes to food matching.

The first element of eating white rice is to taste the unique sweetness of white rice, and pour goat milk into it...

Fortunately, Yunchu snatched it quickly, and the goat milk was poured on the table.

"Rice without goat's milk is not good!" Lao Yangpi didn't need to do anything, Hu Ji next to him took the rice bowl away from Yunchu's hand.

Even though the fringe on Hu Ji's bust touched Yun Chu's face, because of the cumin-like smell on her body, he still focused his attention on the white rice decisively.

A long, long time ago, all the women Yunchu met were delicious, even if they had just eaten roast mutton, they still smelled delicious.

It can't work here, there is no perfume, plus I don't like to take a bath, plus the weather is very hot during the day, it won't work.

White rice can be eaten directly, or you can add lard. After stirring the soy sauce, you can eat it in one big bite. You can also add sugar to make it fragrant and sweet. If you are more particular, you can eat it with a bowl of braised pork. You can pour the soup of braised fish, as for mixing the thick and sticky soup of Buddha Tiaoqiang with white rice... the taste will make people feel that they have lived up to this life.

Absolutely, absolutely no milk, especially goat's milk, which has a strong smell, is a blasphemy against white rice! !
Lao Yangpi is not a purely unreasonable person, after realizing that Yunchu's mood was agitated, he agreed to Yunchu's request to share the bowl of white rice.

In the end, Yunchu didn't eat a mouthful of barbecue, didn't drink a mouthful of goat milk, and finished three pots of white rice by himself, and each clay pot was bigger than Yunchu's head.

"When you're full, it's time to do something." Lao Yangpi looked at the rice grains at the corner of Yunchu's mouth and shook his head and smiled.

Yun Chu rolled his tongue, pulled the rice grains from his lips into his mouth, patted his stomach and said, "I don't want to be a waiter in that restaurant owned by the Sui people."

"Oh?" Lao Yangpi heard that what Yunchu said was innovative, and he recognized Yunchu's cooking skills very much, so he sat up straight and said, "What are you going to do, open a restaurant by yourself, and crush the one opened by the Sui people?" restaurant?
This method is very good and can shorten your process of becoming a Tang Dynasty. "

"I'm not even going to open a restaurant."

"What do you want to do?" Lao Yangpi frowned again: "This is already the fastest way for you to integrate into the Tang people."

"We have seen Tang Jun's majesty today. What do you think is the most distinctive feature of Tang people?"

"Elegant!" Lao Yangpi stroked the silk gown on his body, and gave Yunchu an unexpected answer.

"Why, isn't it right?" As the words came out, Lao Yangpi immediately asked after seeing Yun Chu's expressionless face.

Yun Chu lowered his head and said, "I thought it would be more specific to describe Tang Jun with an indomitable majestic spirit.

There is no way to describe things like killing with elegance. No matter how you kill, people will definitely have hostility after death. As long as they are contaminated with hostility, it has nothing to do with the word elegance.

The majesty of the Tang people is destined to become proud, and a proud person is precisely the best person to deceive. "

Lao Yangpi leaned his head in Hu Ji's arms, rubbed the messy hair on his face and smiled, "You'd better be smart, and we can live more comfortably when we get to Chang'an in the future. I heard from Xuanzang that in Chang'an only Money doesn't make it."

Yun Chu nodded with a smile.

After returning to the resting room, the smile on Yunchu's face slowly faded away.

The alliance of interests is a relatively stable relationship, but once the interests diverge, this alliance is also the most fragile.

This point must be clear.

Trusting others, Yunchu had never done it a long, long time ago.

There is a bed in Lao Yangpi's house, and it is a bed with upturned ends. The bed is full of various furs and fabrics. When Yun Chu lays on it, it seems to be trapped in the clouds.

At dawn, Yunchu left Lao Yangpi's house alone. Not only did he leave, he also took his bay red horse, his leather backpack, his scimitar, bow and arrow, and rode on the horse. The whole person looks like a heroic young man from Tang Dynasty.

Once you leave Lao Yangpi's house, you can't go back. Lao Yangpi is a very scheming person, and he doesn't want more people to see that he has a close relationship with Yunchu. After all, people who live in the city of Qiuci Tang people and Sui people don't like dealing with Hu people very much, especially Tang people!

The most profitable human trading in Kucha City, fur trading, livestock trading, and grain trading are all firmly in the hands of the Tang people.

The Sui people could only do some jade business, spice business, and metal products. Of course, most of the Sui people who did these businesses had inextricable connections with the generals of the Tang army.

Sui people who have no relationship with generals can only do some small businesses to make ends meet.

Although Lao Yangpi is very rich and capable, in the city of Qiuci, he is just an old Hu man who likes to enjoy happiness and has a low sense of existence.

Yunchu just wandered around aimlessly in Qiuci City. When he was thirsty, he quenched his thirst with the water drawn from the Karez Well. When he was hungry, he went to eat in a restaurant owned by the Sui people. At night, he tied up his horse and Make do with one night under the roof of a Chinese shop.

The city of Kucha is not stable, but fortunately, he has a pure Han face, which makes the local urban foxes and social rats in Kucha keep him at a respectful distance.

In the process of living in this confusion, Yunchu still did not forget to tidy up his appearance, clean his clothes, and brush the fur of the bay red horse. He wandered around the market in Kucha proudly and dazedly all day long.

The affectionate Orchid touched his face, but he was not angry, but just took the mulberry that Orchid gave him with a blushing face.

Some people from Tang and Sui who thought he was pitiful offered food to him, but he politely refused, which seemed very upright.

In just three days, everyone in the city of Kucha knew that a clean and beautiful boy from Tang Dynasty had come to the city.

During these three days, Yunchu didn't say a word, and he didn't take the initiative to say that he was from Tang Dynasty, but everyone knew that he was a boy from Tang Dynasty.

The reason why they don't think he is from the Sui Dynasty is entirely because the smile on his face looks kind, but his behavior is extremely arrogant.

The Sui people, who were the subjugated people, were cautious in the city of Kucha, and they would never have cultivated such outstanding and confident children.

As for other races, such as Huihe people, although they also have black hair, no one thinks that he will be Huihe people, and even thinks that such thoughts are disrespectful to Tang people.

The merchants from the Tang Dynasty wanted to greet Yunchu, but hesitated because they couldn't figure out his identity. After all, they were just a group of merchants in soap clothes.

So, everyone was paying attention to Yunchu, but no one took the initiative to talk to him.
