Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 306 Eat and Practice

Because everyone has been together for a while, now Joan has no problem using chopsticks.For non-Chinese people, the biggest reason for not using chopsticks well is a matter of habit, not the dexterity of the hands.

After all, eating with chopsticks is not such a complicated action, so if you want to get familiar with it, you can always do it with more practice. It would be too arbitrary to say that some people can't learn this.

On the other hand, the dishes of various countries are actually matched with traditional tableware. For example, it is very suitable to eat dumplings with chopsticks, but it seems a bit abnormal to use a knife and fork.A whole steak is just the opposite.

The reason why Joan of Arc learned to use chopsticks so quickly as a European was because her previous habit of eating was to directly touch the food without using any kind of tableware, so she did not have any habit of using tableware.

Yes, Europeans did not use knives and forks at the beginning. They first ate with their hands just like Indians. It was not until around the tenth century AD that Byzantines used knives and forks on a large scale for the first time. To the 16th century.

Joan of Arc was born in the 15th century, so it was most common to use a knife with her hands to eat in France at that time, and it was very rare to use other tableware.

On the one hand, this is because of religious issues. The priests at that time did not have a good opinion of the fork. They believed that human beings could only touch the food given by the gods with their hands.The tableware was created under the temptation of Satan, which is an act of blasphemy.

On the other hand, it was because of the problem of habit. At that time, it was generally believed in Europe that if a man ate with a fork, it meant that if he was not picky, he was a "sissy".

According to Joan of Arc, she did see dinner forks made of precious metal or plated with precious metal when she attended some noble banquets, but the group of nobles didn't use them to eat, but used them to duel on the dining table.

However, even with their hands, Europeans still have different levels. For example, when civilians grab food, they grab food with their hands, while nobles use their index finger, middle finger, and thumb to grab food.

Joan told Liang En that she used to be full of food when she ate, because she never felt that she was aristocratic, and she could not tolerate so much elegance in war.

So for her, it was natural to learn how to use various tableware from scratch when she came to this world, and because of Liang En, she naturally learned how to use chopsticks.

After eating, several people rested for a while and began to practice unarmed combat. In addition to learning those modern fighting techniques from Fan Meng, Liang En also learned some ancient fighting methods from Joan of Arc.

In fact, these two fighting techniques each have their own advantages. The current fighting technique taught by Fan Meng combines a large number of ergonomic and anatomical results, so both force and attack skills have obvious targets.

For example, half of the skills here are for one-hit kills, while the other half are for fast and silent control of opponents in different situations.

As for Joan of Arc, she took this opportunity to learn all kinds of new fighting skills from Fan Meng, and at the same time teach those ancient fighting skills to the two of them.

Unexpectedly, although there were not so many scientific theories in Joan's time, the skills accumulated with life faintly coincided with those scientific theories in various aspects.

But this is also very reasonable. After all, although those scientific theories were put forward late, the principles contained in them have always existed, and the more fighting techniques that conform to human mechanics and anatomy, the better the effect in actual combat and the easier it is to be widely spread.

In such a fulfilling life, more than a week passed. During this time, Liang En not only mastered the skills of fighting, but also translated all the content on the bamboo slips.

Of course, after mastering the skill of [Linguist: Ancient Chu Language (R)], Liang En translated the text that day, and in the next few days he mainly searched for information, trying to make his translation read It looks more convincing.

"I may not come back for lunch today, so you can cook and eat by yourself." This morning, Liang En, who had finished all kinds of preparations, greeted Joan of Arc, and then put the bamboo slips in a trolley case and opened the door. Drive to Dublin city.

Because he didn't choose commuting time, so after driving for a few 10 minutes, he quickly arrived at the Chinese Embassy in Ireland at 118 Merlin Road, Dublin.

Because of the reason for making a phone call in advance to make an appointment, after talking at the front desk, a staff member soon brought him into an office and said hello.

"Nice to meet you." Soon, a man in a gray suit came in, shook hands with Liang En, and said, "Are you here today to inquire about the seminar on the Maritime Silk Road?" ?”

"Part of it. Besides the seminar, I also hope to donate some things." Liang En smiled and put the suitcase aside. "

"So that's the case. If you want to donate items, I will call the professional person in charge later." The staff member smiled and said, "Okay, do you have any questions about the seminar?"

"I want to ask, can I bring other people with me to Huaxia this time? Or can I go alone." After hearing what the staff said, Liang En nodded and asked.

"According to the regulations, each person can bring up to two people, but all the consumption of the two attendants of the invitee under the age of 60 will be paid by the invitee, and we will only help arrange transportation and accommodation." The staff took out a copy the document explains.

"This arrangement is very reasonable." Liang En nodded, and then took out Joan of Arc's passport and asked him to help you with various procedures.Fortunately, there is still half a month before the trip, so the various procedures are relatively simple.

However, during the process of checking those documents, Liang An also noticed that the staff member looked at him strangely. After all, Joan of Arc is only 16 years old now, although she is considered an adult because of her independent income. People, but this age is still too young.

Fortunately, although those certificates are related to the card system, they are also fully complied with the rules and regulations, so the inspection work was quickly completed and a copy of those certificates was left.

"There is no problem with these things at all." The staff member finished the inspection and said, "If there is no accident, we will send you the visa in a week."

"Thank you!" Liang En smiled and nodded.

"Also, please wait here for a while, someone will come to discuss with you about donation soon." After finishing speaking, the staff member left the room, and another staff member brought tea and some snacks.

Apparently, the representative accepting the donation should be temporarily unable to come due to some matters, so Liang En prepared these refreshments for Liang En to wait here.

This situation was within Liang En's expectation, so he quickly adjusted his mood and waited slowly, but when he waited for about half an hour, the door opened, and His Excellency the Ambassador walked in from the outside .
