Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 971 Peng Qi is also a foodie

"Wow~~~~ This is Xudu!" A few days later, a team came to Xudu from Mount Wuyi in the south of the Yangtze River.The leading woman looked at the city wall and couldn't help feeling emotional, "As expected of the capital of the great man, it is indeed majestic!"

"Hee..." A pedestrian in the distance smiled and left in a hurry.

"Did I say something wrong?" The woman looked at Cao Hong who was leading the way.

"Xu Du is just an accompanying capital, and it was only six years ago. In fact, the real capitals of the Great Han are only Luoyang and Chang'an. The city walls there are more majestic than here, and the streets inside are wider than here! To be honest, the current Xu Capital seems a bit cramped, so it's no wonder that they plan to move the capital back to Chang'an in the next two years." Cao Hong explained.

"Accompanying capital?" The woman seemed to have heard this saying for the first time, "But isn't your emperor here?"

"Stay here for a while, and I'm going back to Chang'an in the future. Speaking of which, I'm asking for help from everyone this time. On the way to Hanzhong, I will pass by Luoyang and Chang'an. At that time, I can let everyone have a good experience." Cao Hong replied.

But having said that, Luoyang was burnt down by Dong Zhuo. Although Duan Yan came forward to repair some of it later, it was still far from being restored to the most prosperous state of the big man.

"Then I really want to go and see it!" The woman was immediately full of interest when she heard the words.

When they really entered the city, these 2000 people were the first to feel that they were not excited or curious, but felt the eyes of passers-by around them, and then they subconsciously tightened their clothes when they saw this unimaginable bustling city.

Inferiority, everything here is so tall, even ordinary pedestrians are wearing clean and tidy clothes.Compared with these people, the clothes made of linen and animal skins on his body looked so crude.

"Shall we... go directly to the palace?" The woman came to Cao Hong.

"No, no, let's go to the military camp to settle down first, rest for a day, and then go to the palace to meet His Majesty. You don't want to make Your Majesty laugh at the dusty journey all the way?" Cao Hong said.

"Mmm...um..." The woman nodded upon hearing the words, but felt a sense of relief in her heart.

A quarter of an hour later, they came to the barracks. There were mainly tents here, but the environment was good. At least it was much more comfortable than their sloppy nest.

"Have a good rest tonight, and the food will be delivered soon." Seeing that he sent the person over, Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "Someone will come to explain to you later, the basic etiquette of meeting His Majesty, and Precautions in the barracks, all right?"

"No problem, we are not unreasonable." The woman replied, although the Peng family has lived in Wuyi Mountain for a long time, their ancestors are Peng Zu.Peng Yue's civilization is only a little behind the Central Plains, but it is definitely not that kind of pure barbarism.

After a while, a man came in and came to the woman.

"This, should be the leader of Peng Yue, right? Hello, I'm Wang Yong, the imperial cook of the great man, and this is our first meeting!" Wang Yong smiled and cupped his hands towards the woman.

"Oh, I'm Peng Qi... Peng Yue's patriarch... Royal chef, are you the chef who cooks food for the emperor?" Peng Qi bowed back and asked.

"Yes, I am the chef in charge of your majesty's diet. I heard that you are all descendants of Peng Zu, so I specifically asked to come and visit. After all, for me and other chefs, Peng Zu is the real ancestor." Wang Yong smiled, "At the same time, tonight's The dishes may use some special ingredients, I don’t know if you have any taboos, so come and ask.”

"Oh, we basically eat everything." Peng Qi nodded, feeling a little happy in his heart. After all, the Peng family in Wuyi Mountain basically regarded themselves as descendants of Peng Zu.

"Then, can snakes and dragons be eaten too?" Wang Yong asked cautiously.

"We often eat snakes. After all, there is no shortage of snakes over there. But the dragon...seriously, it is really a very precious ingredient. Will you make it? This time, I brought several people from the clan. The chef..." Peng Qi looked at Wang Yong worriedly.

"No problem, as long as you don't have any scruples. After all, I heard that some tribes over there use dragons as totems... I'm afraid that if there are any taboos, it's not good." Wang Yong quickly replied.

"Oh, I didn't expect that here in the Central Plains, there are chefs who can cook dragons. It's interesting!" Peng Qi is obviously a person who likes to eat, otherwise he wouldn't be with the army and bring a few chefs with him.At this moment, she became curious about eating.

"But before that..." Wang Yong immediately added, "It's still two hours before dinner time, how about learning some new knowledge first? After all, you have to meet the Emperor of Han tomorrow, so it's not easy to embarrass the Yue people Bar?"

"Oh, oh... that's true..." Peng Qi finally realized.

"Then, the officials who teach etiquette will be here soon. I'll prepare dinner first. Please look forward to it!" Wang Yong replied, and then he left.

Not long after, an officer and an official walked in. The officer mainly explained the rules in the army. In the final analysis, it was the basic common sense not to run around and look around, and not to fight.

On the side of the officials, most of the palace knowledge imparted is concise and easy to understand. In fact, as long as you don’t make a scene at the banquet, don’t bring weapons in carelessly, don’t fight, and ignore some details. .

Although it is simple, it took an hour, after all, it is necessary to make sure that they have learned it before the officials can go back to work.

"The hot water is ready. If you need to wash up, you can do whatever you want." Cao Hong walked in. He had just returned to the palace and had just returned.

"It's great to have hot water!" Peng Qi was a little excited.And Cao Hong, who followed them all the way, was no stranger to it.At first, I thought that Yueren washed them with cold water, or even didn't wash them.Who knew that Peng Yue would strictly abide by the principle of drinking water only when it was boiled, and taking a bath when it was hot.

I asked, and said that it was passed down from the ancestors, and those who did not follow this rule would be punished by the ancestors.

Thinking of those Jingzhou troops in Wulin, Cao Hong also understood that the words of gods and ghosts were probably just an excuse for Peng Yue's ancestors.It is also possible that it is the natural law that was finally discovered after living in the Wuyi Mountains all year round.

Peng Yue can live in Jiangnan where all kinds of poisonous insects and poisons are filled with miasma and humidity, so he naturally has their way of life.

An hour is enough for these Yue people to clean up.The clothes were also washed temporarily, and changed into home clothes.As far as the style is concerned, it is similar to the short shirt + hot pants of later generations. Anyway, the fabric is relatively small, which is said to be convenient for activities.

This is the case for home clothes, regular clothes are long pants and short sleeves, and combat clothes are based on regular clothes with an additional layer of leather armor.Ordinary soldiers used leather armor made of ordinary wild animal skins.Peng Qi and several other leaders were wearing rhinoceros leather armor.

"By the way, when can we come for dinner?!" After cleaning, Peng Qi urged impatiently.
