Time ancient jade

Wan'er, what are you cooking? smell good! King Qi Ling came to the dining room and asked.

Hee hee, Junshang will be able to eat after a while. Junshang and his sisters were playing outside first, and Chen Waner responded with a smile.

Chen Waner was busy in the dining room using a portable stove and some modern kitchen utensils.

About half an hour later, Chen Waner called out in the dining room: "Meilan, Orchid, Bamboo, Juhan, you guys come in and help carry the dishes."

For a while, King Qi Ling, Nangong Qian and Shangguan Yan'er looked at the dishes on the table and were completely confused. There was also a bottle of red stuff that they were not sure about.

Sister, what are these? Nangong Qian asked curiously.

This is called Western food, the food used by Westerners, Chen Tingting responded.

So who are we? Shangguan Yaner asked.

We are Orientals! Chen Tingting responded.

Wan'er, I don't understand a bit! Westerners and Easterners, logically speaking Qi is in the west, so we should be Westerners! To the east is Qin, they should be Easterners! King Qi Ling asked curiously.

Our continent is the Longzhou Continent, and when we go out to the sea and go west, we see another continent called the Western Continent. You understand! Chen Tingting responded with a speechless explanation.

Sister, what is this? Shangguan Yaner asked curiously, holding her chopsticks.

You see, we usually use forks, so that everyone can use spoons to eat, knives to cut meat, and chopsticks to pick up vegetables, so we put these tools on the table. After Chen Waner finished speaking, she gestured and continued: Look at the two chopsticks. , one end of the chopsticks is round and the other is square. The round one symbolizes the open god and conquers the sky. The square one symbolizes the earth, which corresponds to the round place of the sky. The square one is on the top and the round one is on the bottom. They are in direct contact with the food, which represents "food is the most important thing for the people". Holding the chopsticks At this time, the thumb and index finger are on the top, the ring finger and the little finger are on the bottom, and the middle finger is in the middle. This is the image of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. A pair of chopsticks divided into two sticks represents the observance of the concepts of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang. Tai Chi is one, Yin and Yang are two, and one body is divided into two, which means that everything is composed of two opposites; when the two become one, the combination of Yin and Yang also means a perfect result. At the same time, there were already chopsticks in the Shang Dynasty before our era. According to "Han Feizi·Yu Lao", "In the past, Zhou was like a chopstick, and the chopsticks were terrible." Then, the pre-Qin era was called "梜", It was already called "箸" in the Han Dynasty, and started to be called "chopsticks" in the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Waner’s chopsticks and the knowledge she learned from modern times will be popularized to everyone.

Come, let me pour you wine first. This is called a decanter, and the bottle contains red wine. It is made from grapes and is very delicious. And this is called a goblet, which is a cup specially provided for red wine. According to the current situation It’s called “枓”, and Chen Waner wants to popularize these things to everyone.

Okay, I've finished talking about the tools and furnishings on the table, and now the dozen or so items in front of us include appetizers, soups, side dishes, main dishes, vegetable dishes, desserts and coffee, including "pasta, steak, Fruit salad, borscht, turkey, mashed potatoes, baguettes, etc. You can just eat with me," Chen Tingting shook her head and said with a smile.

Chen Tingting watched everyone follow her, taking the bread, scooping out some caviar with a spoon, and eating it, she said with a smile: This is called a starter, also called an appetizer.

Then he raised his glass of red wine and said with a smile: Cheers for my return.

Everyone also raised their glasses and responded with a smile: cheers for the return of the queen, eldest sister and mother.

Wow, eldest sister, this wine is really delicious, much better than the milk tea you brought, Shangguan Yaner said with a smile.

Right, Third Sister, don’t be too greedy for red wine! Chen Waner responded with a smile.

Queen Mother, we also want to drink! The second young master said.

When you three little guys are the age of the prince brother, the queen mother will allow you to drink it. You should just drink yogurt obediently. Yogurt is better for you, Chen Waner said with a smile.

Mother, let’s just take a sip, okay? The fourth princess pleaded.

Chen Waner smiled and shook her head, then took out three Mao wine glasses and poured them into them, saying: You can only drink this amount.

The three little guys raised their cups, and the second young master smiled and said: Welcome the queen mother back.

Good darlings, come and touch your mother. After the four of them drank the red wine, Chen Waner watched the reactions of the three little guys.

Hey, it doesn't taste good for my aunt to lie. Yeah, brother Wang is right. I feel a little dizzy. The three little guys each said their own things.

Everyone looked at the three little guys and laughed.

Chen Waner took a knife and fork and started cutting the steak, and everyone followed suit. Waner, why is this steak half-cooked? King Qi Ling stared at the steak on the plate and asked curiously.

I give it to you all medium-rare. If it's over medium-rare, it won't taste good. Chen Waner chewed the steak in her mouth and responded with a smile.

Nangong Qian nodded and said: Sister, this salad is delicious.

If it’s delicious, eat more. Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, don’t stare at me! Eat quickly, Chen Wan'er responded to Nangong Qian and turned around to see Mei, Orchid, Bamboo, Juhan and the other five people not moving.

Queen, I feel like I have seen these things somewhere before, Xiao Landao.

I'm also a queen, but I just can't remember where I've seen her before, Xiaozhu said.

And I seem to have eaten it. How many of you have? Xiaomei said.

I've never eaten it before, Xiao Ju said directly.

Only the four of them, Mei Lan and Zhu Han, kept recalling it in their minds.

Chen Waner was also surprised and said: The four of you must have eaten in heaven! That’s not right either! How can you feel like this when you are not in heaven now? Chen Waner was also confused.

I think the queen is right. This explanation makes sense. Didn’t the queen say that we all go to heaven? So these should have been eaten, Xiaomei nodded in agreement.

Therefore, only the four of you can eat, and I can only eat soil, Xiao Ju said with a smile while eating Western food.

No, Xiao Ju, when I discovered Hao Ling’s tomb, the five of you except Xiao Han had no coffins and were all burial mounds. I don’t know what happened, so after coming down this time, you guys will come with me to investigate, Chen Waner said. Continue: Xiaoju, you left some clues for us back then, and I also believe that you are still in the sky, because only I can open Haoling's tomb, but I don't know when you will be able to enter.

Sister, we will go with you this time, Nangong Qian and Shangguan Yaner said.

I'll take you with me, so you three little guys don't follow me. The prince will take good care of his younger brothers and sisters. If you are free, you can come with us," Chen Waner said with a smile.

Several people discussed while eating. The three little guys stared at the caviar and ate it hard, while the prince moved the turkey away, took out the chicken legs and started to eat.

Chen Waner taught them how to use these, and the four little guys ate more happily.

Mom, can I raise this turkey? The prince said while chewing.

It can definitely be kept! It's just that this thing is not easy to raise. What will the people eat if it is raised too much? Chen Waner responded.

Queen, is that steak from a cow? The third princess said while eating bread.

How to put it, it must be from cattle, but this kind of cattle is different from the cattle we raise and farm, Chen Waner responded.

What's different about the mother-in-law? The fourth princess asked curiously.

The cows we eat steaks are called "Wagyu", so their meat is relatively fresh and tender, and they are raised on more complex forage. The Queen Mother needs to investigate this, Chen Waner responded with a smile.

Second brother, please grow up quickly. From now on, your eldest brother will be the Grand Sima, and you will be in charge of the affairs of the state. My mother and I will go to various parts of Qi State to inspect all kinds of forage. From now on, we will have many, many war horses, many, many cattle and sheep, so that Qi State will be able to live forever. Save, the prince smiled.

Don't worry, brother, I will study hard and manage the government. The eldest brother is out fighting for the country, and the second brother will guard the land left by his ancestors. Come, brother, the second brother will toast you. The second young master responded with a smile.

Chen Waner felt extremely comforted when she saw the two brothers being so harmonious, and thought to herself that the ancient books left by her ancestors were definitely pirated, and they had been pirated more than once.

That’s not right! Two royal brothers, you two are like this, what are my fourth sister and I doing? The third princess asked curiously.

You and Fourth Sister are training the Four Divine Army! Train our Four Divine Army to be the best in the world and clear the obstacles for the eldest brother. Just as my mother said, "Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me." The prince responded.

Alas... You can't say this. I'm asking you to learn, not to do it. You four sisters must live in harmony and protect the country that the ancestor and the king have conquered. Do you understand? Also, if Langer becomes the monarch, you and the Four Gods Army will guard the borders of Qi. At the same time, the four of you must remember that "the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." Do you understand? Chen Waner taught.

The children understood the teachings of their mother and queen, and the four little guys stood up and bowed in response.
