Chapter 41 The gap between ancient and modern food

As a networm in the new era, the most common diet should be rice and white flour, but these are not seen in the diet provided by the Shang Palace.

At this time, the maid brought the rice, some beef and mutton, and a plate of beans. The only thing that made Xiao Yuqing feel better was that there was a fish.

Originally, the fish meat tastes delicious, and it is also very delicious to make it into fish soup, which is very good for the body.

However, after taking a bite of the fish, Xiao Yuqing immediately felt that he was thinking too much. The fish was fishy and astringent. He almost spit it out in one bite. Although he barely ate it, he also fucked it a few times.

And his appearance as an escort scared the maid to death. She thought she had done something wrong, so she quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Seeing the maid trembling, Xiao Yuqing waved his hand quickly. Although this maid is not old, she has been carefully selected to serve him. She is not as beautiful as a national beauty, and she is definitely considered a pure beauty.

If this is in modern times, it can be called a goddess without makeup. Compared to those who rely on beauty needles and cosmetic surgery to change their appearance, they are much more beautiful.

Such a beauty is now like a frightened lamb, and her heartfelt fear makes her tremble even more.

Xiao Yuqing felt distressed when he saw it, but he also knew that his current identity was Zishou and he could not take too much care of a maid, otherwise it would probably bring her a catastrophe.

So he just waved his hand and signaled her to step back first.

The maid finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the prince did not blame him, put down her food and retreated.

Seeing the maid going out, Xiao Yuqing came to the table by himself, picked up the chopsticks again, looked at the food, and shook his head helplessly.

The main meal here is not even comparable to his instant noodles and sausages. Now he even misses steamed buns, buns, and rice.

Although he missed the food of his time, it was obvious that he had no choice at the moment. If he didn't eat, his injuries would not recover.

So he took the rice helplessly, took a few bites into his mouth, then picked up large pieces of meat, put them in his mouth, and chewed them slowly.

The rice is hard in itself, and the cooking techniques of the Shang Dynasty are really unsatisfactory. The rice made is like a small stone. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, Xiao Yuqing would have doubted whether he was chewing a little stone.

The meat I brought this time was cut into small pieces after cooking. It was just a little salty inside, and it tasted like a waxy.

As for the fish with a strong fishy smell, Xiao Yuqing really didn't have any appetite.

At this time, Xiao Yuqing really understood why Emperor Xin was like a starving ghost when he came out.

If you eat too much such things, you will have a great appetite when you eat anything, not to mention that Di Xin hasn't eaten anything for more than 3,000 years.

And he also understood why the army always had to eat meat. In this era, except for the meat that could be used to sip, the rest of the food was real. It was not eaten because of the taste of the food, but for survival.

Even now he was wondering if this is the reason for Jiang Ziya’s straight hook fishing. He always had to take it back and eat it when he caught it. However, no matter how you cook these fish, you can’t get rid of the fishy smell. If you catch it and throw it back, it will be both troublesome and will be regarded as a lunatic. He will wait by the water for King Wen to find him.

So he deliberately used a straight hook, but did not want to catch fish. The so-called straight hook fishing, the willingness to take the hook, is just a beautiful rendering of him by the literati who praised him in our country.

No matter what, he still ate a lot of this meal. After all, he was injured and needed energy. If he didn't eat more, he would recover too slowly.

He had just finished his meal, and Ziqi and Ziyan came to see him. After all, his mother asked them to take good care of Zishou, so how could they not do it?

Xiao Yuqing was very happy to see them coming. Ziqi was the person he saw at first in this world, and Ziyan was his nobleman. Both of them were the most important people to him.

Many people say that when a baby is just born, the first thing he sees will be like who he will be particularly close to. Therefore, many people try to make the baby see his parents at first, in order to achieve a harmonious relationship in the future.

Although Xiao Yuqing is not a baby, she actually feels this way. Seeing Zi Qi and Zi Yan inexplicably feel close.

Zi Qi and Zi Yan were very happy to see that Xiao Yuqing's condition improved a lot today. They came here to say hello and prepared to leave.

How could Xiao Yuqing let them go? How could he read the words when they left? He quickly stopped them, "Two brothers, can you help your brother a little favor?"

Both of them smiled slightly, "Zi Shu, why are you so polite today? This is not like you. If you have something to say, your brothers don't need to be polite."

When Xiao Yuqing saw that they agreed, he didn't know how to speak. He opened his mouth and said nothing. Then he opened his mouth again, but still didn't say anything.

Zi Yan spoke again: "Zi Su, what's wrong, you just say it's okay, we three brothers are all moving forward and retreating together."

When Xiao Yuqing heard Zi Yan's words, he felt a little relieved. He was as soft as a mosquito and said, "Please ask two brothers to teach me how to read."

"What? What did you say?" When Zi Qi and Zi Yan were stunned when they heard that it was this. Although Zi Su was not as good as theirs in literature, Zi Su was also a versatile talent in civil and military affairs.

As a king, you have to review memorials frequently. Can you make a person who doesn’t know a single word become the prince? Of course it is impossible.

So when the two of them heard that Zishou actually made this request, they were really shocked.

Xiao Yuqing knew what they were thinking when he saw them, but he had already said that, and the next thing he had to do was to find a way to tell him the matter.

He sighed intentionally and said, "Two brothers, you don't know. The bear that day was not that simple. Although he didn't know what his origin was, after he fought with me, I felt dizzy. When I came back to my father, I realized that I had no idea what kind of spell I had used, which caused this."

Then he said with a lonely expression: "You are the closest people to me, I can only ask you for help."

When Zi Yan heard this, he said angrily: "Who is this? It's so vicious. If the third brother is illiterate, how can he inherit the Grand Principal in the future?"

However, when Ziqi heard about this, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Although it was only a moment, all this did not escape Xiao Yuqing's eyes, and Zi Qi's little eyes just now made him feel uneasy.
