Tang's dining table

If you want to cause chaos in a place, there must be enough survivors of the catastrophe.

Hassan and Compis were cruel enough, killed enough people, and were thorough enough in their evil deeds. This gave the survivors more things to talk about.

Yunchu's men did not stop those who fled out of the city.

Therefore, in the eyes of these Persians, the only evildoers are Hassan, Compis and other Sogdians.

Seeing that the city was on fire, Yunchu went to the next city with peace of mind. Sasanian Persia must be in chaos.

Da Shiren seemed to have no intention of doing business with Datang, so Yun Chu felt that he had to get through.

The most taboo thing in the exchanges between countries is that they never interact with each other until they die. As long as there is movement and communication, and they gradually discover their respective interests, they can finally form contacts.

As for this interaction, it can be a war, a dispute, or even an endless blood feud.

Anyway, in the end, you kill me and I kill yours. When people get tired of fighting each other, trade and exchange of needs will slowly appear.

People from the Western Regions may be the most reluctant people in the world to hold grudges. After all, the Western Regions people who were killed last time have nothing to do with the current Western Region people, and the people who killed people last time are not the same people as the people doing business now.

As long as the interests are right, it's no big deal.

Therefore, as long as Yunchu killed enough Persians this time and showed strong enough force, the great cannibal who ruled the Persians would be willing to associate with the Tang people and do business together.

If the business path between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Cannibal is connected, then the silk, Yaozhou porcelain, paper, and patent medicines of the Tang Dynasty will have the opportunity to be transported to the Euphrates River and Tigris River basins, and then reach the magnificent city through Egyptian merchants. Constantinople established commercial relations with the Byzantine Empire.

At this moment, there are only so many civilized places in the world, and they are only so big. If Yun Chu's goal is achieved, basically, he will have done business all over the world.

Therefore, Yunchu's army was crisscrossing the territory of the Sasanian Persians. After conquering sixteen cities of the Sasanian Persians, Yusuf, the cannibalistic governor of the Far East, finally set his sights on Yunchu's army. .

He summoned 60,000 Dashi troops from eleven city-states in the Far East, and pursued and intercepted Yunchu's army on the vast plains of Sasanian Persia, vowing to keep them here to warn the bandits in the Far East.

The giant bell of the Buddhist Kingdom was finally cast.

This is a huge bronze bell weighing two tons. It is the handiwork of Persian craftsmen and the giant bell is poured using the lost wax method.

Burning two tons of molten copper at one time tested the skills of Persian craftsmen. In addition, Naha required that the reliefs on this giant bell must be Buddhist patterns and could not use the twelve celestial palace patterns that Persian craftsmen were accustomed to. This The formation of this giant bell took quite a while.

When the giant bell was rung for the first time in Sanskrit music, it blended with the snow-capped mountains behind it, the tall Buddha statues, and the magnificent Buddhist temples. The snow-capped mountains became holier, the statues became more vivid, and the Buddhist kingdom also changed. Be more majestic.

When Naha heard the bronze bell ringing, she raised her head in surprise and looked towards the bell tower. Yesterday, Master Fahua led Persian craftsmen to install this bronze bell. Unexpectedly, it was already being rung today. .

She stood up and wanted to run out, but as soon as she thought about it, she immediately squatted down by the fire and played with the sugar carrots in the fire with Zhuolma.

The cooked sugar radish is sweeter than honey. As long as the outer black skin is peeled off, a brown layer of sugar radish will be revealed. The sugar in this layer of sugar radish has been burned to create a caramel flavor. Delicious as hell.

Dolma is a clever little woman, with a pair of small hands full of patterns, she deftly peeled off the black outer layer of the sugar radish, took off the roasted brown layer and handed it to Naha, who also had a black mouth.

Naha took it, quickly filled her mouth, and happily ate the delicious food she had just made.

As long as the candied radish is baked or burned, it will be layered, and you can eat one layer after baking, which requires a lot of patience.

The sugar radish was snatched by her brother from the Sogdians with the ninth surname of Zhaowu. It was her favorite among all the things snatched back.

It’s not bad to eat this thing cooked, but after all, it’s not as good as eating it roasted.

Other mothers would be furious if they saw their daughter eating by the fire with a black mouth.

Selema was not like this. She drove Naha and Dolma away and continued to eat candied radishes by the fire. In a short time, she had a black mouth like Naha and Dolma.

After driving Naha and Dolma away, there would be no one to accompany her, but Selema didn't need it either, it was enough for her to have a fat marmot to accompany her.

After running out, Naha washed her face and walked in again. She looked at Selema's black mouth and said, "Sister-in-law may dislike you."

Selema said: "I won't give her the chance to dislike me."

Naha squatted down and hugged her knees and said, "You will eventually follow us back to Chang'an."

Selema took a bite of the sugar carrot and said, "I won't go back. That's your home, not mine."

Naha rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't go back, you will cry again when we leave."

Selema said: "Don't cry. There are not many Sai people as old as me. I want to guard them. When I continue to grow old, I can become a Sai people witch, which is better than being a Sai people king."

Naha said: "They don't recognize you as the king of the Sai people, nor will they recognize you as a tribal witch. After all, you can't do anything.

You like eating delicious food so much. After you returned to Chang'an, you ate one kind every day and couldn't finish it until you died. "

Selema pulled the big fat marmot that was also eating sugar carrots and asked: "Is it more delicious than roasted marmots?"

The marmot held the sugar carrot in its front paws and looked at Naha doubtfully.

Naha took a sip and said, "Every one of them is more delicious than grilled marmot, and it's also cleaner. Every New Year, Jinchangfang will stew a lot of meat, a pile of meat bigger than a mountain."

Seeing that the mother and daughter had no intention of grilling it, the marmot continued to eat the sugar carrots held in its paws.

"Is there really that much meat?"

"Really, the people in the kitchen brought back carts of various kinds of meat from outside the city, washed them in a large pool, and then hundreds of people standing in front of the chopping board divided the meat into small pieces. After washing it again, pour it into a large pot and cook...

At this time of year, the huge Jinchangfang is enveloped by the smell of cooking meat. Even the princes of the Tang Dynasty would sneak out of the palace and come to Jinchangfang to steal meat..."

Selema listened very seriously, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and said to Naha: "That's great."

As he spoke, he pinched Naha's face with his blackened flesh and said, "Eat well after you go back. It's best to eat more and eat my share."

Naha frowned and said, "You won't go back with us?"

Selema said: "Jesika is here."

Naha's eyes widened and she said, "But Jiesga is dead and you are old. No one will want you except my brother and me."

Selema smiled and said: "Jesika wants me. His child is dead. Everyone says I am a useless woman, but he still wants me. He also said that we will have another child soon."

Naha said: "Jesika is dead."

Selema grabbed Naha's hand and put it on her chest and said: "He is still alive. I know and can feel it. Whenever the moon becomes full, he will come to me and smile when he comes." , the arms that were chopped off by the Turks are still intact, and they can hug me and sing."

Naha squatted down again, hugged her knees and said, "What is singing?"

Selema's face seemed to have a blush on her face. She looked at Naha and said, "He said I was a red flower..."

Naha curled her lips and said: "Cypriots all sing this song. Every Cypriot man sings this song when he wants to sleep with a woman."

Selema smiled and said, "Has anyone ever sung this song to you?"

Naha shook her head and said: "No."

Selema smiled charmingly, reached out to touch Naha's face again and said, "If no one sings this song to you anymore, you will be old."

Naha said angrily: "Brother said that I am still a child."

Selema burst out laughing, pointed at Naha and said, "Look at the Sai tribe, are there any seventeen-year-old women who have not yet entered the men's tent?"

Naha said angrily: "I am from Tang Dynasty. A seventeen-year-old Tang girl is not that old yet, and I am still young..."

Selema pointed at Dolma and said, "Ask her, are there any seventeen-year-old girls in their tribe?"

Dolma shook her head under Naha's gaze and said, "When they are twelve years old at most, the master will assign a man to them."

After hearing what Selema and Dolma said, Naha was a little panicked, but she immediately retorted: "My brother said that women who are too young will die when they give birth to children."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran away, and Selema's hearty laughter came from behind.

The Buddhist Kingdom received a lot of food, so peace and joy returned here.

Naha hurried to the old monkey's room. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the strong smell of blood.

The monkey master was washing his hands in a copper basin. The water on his hands was red, and it seemed that a layer of the ground in his house had just been shoveled away.

"Did you kill someone again?"

Seeing this scene, Naha immediately forgot that she came here to find comfort.

The old monkey turned around, poured the bloody water outside the door, replaced it with two ladles of clean water, and washed his hands again. This time he washed them very carefully, even the gaps between his nails. It took a long time to wash his hands clean.

He turned around and looked at the few black marks on Naha's face that Selema had scratched. He sighed, changed the water, and motioned to Naha to wash her face again.

Naha, who had black marks on her face like a tabby cat's whiskers, said seriously: "I said, killing people is not allowed in the Buddhist Kingdom."

The old monkey moved his smoky gray eyes, looked at Naha and said, "What I am killing is not a human being."

Naha shook her head and said: "Humans are human beings, whether they are good or bad. No matter whether they are good people or bad people in the Buddhist Kingdom, they cannot die in my Buddhist Kingdom."

The old monkey chuckled and said: "Very good, she really has the aura of the Queen of the Buddhist Kingdom."

Naha looked at the old monkey for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "When I go back to Chang'an, you should go back with me."

The old monkey looked at the snow-capped mountains outside the window and said: "When a Buddhist kingdom is established, it will take ten thousand Buddhas to pay homage to the sect before it can have the magnanimity of the Great Leiyin Temple."

Naha shook her head and said: "I become my Buddha, and they become their Buddha. When I say I am a Buddha, the other Buddhas will praise me."

The old monkey's smoky gray eyes were shining brightly, he stared at Naha and said: "How to become a Buddha?"

Naha said angrily: "You all say that I am a Buddha, why am I not a Buddha?"

The old monkey looked at Naha with reverence, clasped his hands and declared a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, everyone from the ten directions salutes and approves of the Buddhas of the ten directions. The Buddhas of the ten directions have great merits, great merits, and great compassion. My Buddha is compassionate."

I couldn't help it anymore, so I ordered takeout today. At this time of year, Lanzhou people start to make bad meat. I ordered two boxes of bad meat from Lanzhou Past. It tasted good. But when I took the takeout into the hotel, I was told that I didn't follow the closed loop. manage.
