C2197 A Wonderful Dinner

The spacious banquet hall of the Eastern Palace was filled with round tables that were filled with the charm of the East. The names of the guests were hanging on the backs of every chair and table in each of the ten people present.

These tablecloths with exquisite embroidery were all top grade Su embroidery, embroidered with traditional Chinese patterns of ten thousand years of life. Especially the table at the front, which was covered with a bright yellow tablecloth that could only be used by emperors.

Needless to say, this was the position of the Queen. Xiao Letian's and Emperor Tongzhi's seats were right beside the Queen.

At that time, Europe was a place where long banquet tables were popular, or where buffet parties were free. There really was no such round table banquet, and everyone immediately felt a sense of novelty.

Yuan is a kind of artistic conception advocated in Chinese philosophy, in the round world, it lightens the hierarchical relationship between people, but increases the harmony and friendliness, this kind of atmosphere naturally narrows the relations between the diners.

Looking at the porcelain on the table, this was not ordinary Chinese porcelain, this was a batch of Royal Porcelain produced by Xiao Letian in Jingde Town, which was controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Xiang Army and the Chinese forces were invincible in Jiangnan. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Jingde Town dared not to interfere with the transaction, they even sent the orders to the Forbidden City to the back of the line, to the leader's order.

The porcelain represented the highest level of porcelain craftsmanship in China at the time, especially the series of flower tea bowls, which were painted with a variety of flowers, including peonies, plum blossoms, orchids, begonias, hibiscuses … There were at least thirty to forty different types of tea. The first to arrive, the guests walked up to their seats and took a closer look, only to see that there was actually a layer of condensed water droplets on the teacup.

When he opened the lid of the bowl and looked inside, he saw a bowl of black tea soup of unknown variety. Carefully savoring a mouthful of the cold, sour and sweet flavor, he immediately suppressed the heat.

"Oh!" God, what kind of Oriental drink is this? "This is too strange …"

The servants in charge of the banquet were divided into two groups, Britain and China. One of the English waiters quickly and politely said in a low voice, "Respected Countess, today's banquet will provide two kinds of summer drinks. One is called sour plum soup for Chinese people, and the other is called medicine to cool tea …"

"What you just tasted is the iced sour plum soup. If you want me to recommend it, I suggest you try the medicine to cool the tea..." To tell you the truth, we drank a lot today, but we were busy the whole day, yet not a single person got heatstroke! "

The temperature today was even higher than yesterday, at thirty-six or seven degrees Celsius. British people who were used to the cool weather would catch a lot of heat stroke every year, not to mention people who were busy working.

As soon as they heard that there was such a good dish, these European noblewomen, who had eaten too much meat and their skin was rough and oily, fell in love with the fire, quickly came to try it.

Xiao Letian had brought a lot of women with him this time when he came to Europe. These women were obviously not for him to enjoy life.

He was dignified, elegant, and even his smile revealed eight teeth. He couldn't afford to have an extra tooth or a missing tooth.

Not to mention the appearance of these maids, they were the most representative of the gentle winds in the east. This row of girls were all dressed in Han Chinese retro clothing, and even Jing Chai was dressed in emerald jade with a dragon and phoenix pattern on her body.

As they walked, you could see the rhythmic swaying of the hairpin above their heads and the jingling of jade on their bodies.

The Chinese people Peiyu was very particular. The ancient people used jade as an auxiliary tool of etiquette. The imperial court officials had to wear jade instruments. This was to regulate the behavior of humans.

A little of your action steps over the jades of nature makes a noisy noise, then this kind of behavior is rude!

Wearing jade can force people to behave more gracefully, more cautiously, more carefully.

When such a group of beautiful girls with a strong Oriental charm appeared at the venue, all the European women's eyes turned red. They angrily pinched their husbands' thighs, while those dirty men were already drooling from watching.

Bowl after bowl of herbal tea was served by the maids. They could not afford to be impolite in a diplomatic event, so they could only suppress their jealousy and nodded in thanks.

It was the same iced tea, but there was a strong taste of Chinese medicine. You don't want to drink it right? But this was just what you wanted, so you had no choice but to take a sip.

As soon as the cold tea entered her mouth, the noble lady immediately frowned. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the cold tea, but that they suddenly discovered that this strange beverage had a unique taste. It wasn't as bad as they imagined.

It was sweet and cold, but after it entered his throat, a cold feeling surged into his heart.

"My God! What kind of strange Oriental drink was this? "I actually managed to drink something even more miraculous than tea …"

Countess was a fat woman who did not have any meat or joy. Her age also reached menopause, and her love of eating meat, drinking, and menopause coupled with the unbearable heat made Countess suffer from severe oral ulcers and constipation.

Seeing countless doctors was of no use, because this disease was entirely caused by living habits. If one did not change living habits, then it would be useless just to think of using Western medicine to regulate it.

According to the theory of Chinese medicine, in this kind of scorching heat, there was no lack of food and meat. There was also no lack of heat. A cup of herbal tea was completely right.

Countess felt as if a bowl of cold tea had entered her stomach, and the fire in her heart had dropped.

To be honest, this group of rich European aristocracy s all had a little problem with their diet. A high-protein, high-fat diet would probably cause some symptoms of fire, and since the weather was hot, everyone was angry.

Once there was fire, it would have to leak out. The Evil Doctor Huang's meticulously concocted Eastern Cooler Tea was just right for their symptoms. Very quickly, all of the guests present had all drunk at least two bowls of it.

Especially with Countess being so magnanimous, she drank four bowls of it all by herself, while her husband beside her tried to persuade her a few times but to no avail.

As expected, Countess felt her stomach churning, she did not dare to resist the urge to go to the bathroom. After all, the cold tea was a drained pill, if she drinks too much, her stomach would definitely be in trouble.

After twenty minutes, when the Count saw his wife again, he was surprised to find that she was smiling brightly with a relaxed expression on her face.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've felt so comfortable in such a magical cold tea..." "I feel like my stomach has been emptied, and all the goods have been emptied out …"

"Besides, this cold tea is completely different from the laxatives prescribed by the doctors. The effects will cause severe pain in your stomach, but not this cold tea. It won't let you suffer any pain. It's perfect …"

"Oh, oh, oh …" God! "Don't say anymore. This is a national banquet, how can you talk about such a thing over the dining table? It's too rude!" Old Count, who was wearing a wig, was so embarrassed that he almost went under the table.
