Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

When Jiang Tuan was led by Wei Chuo to the seat, he found that there was no chair. The place where he was going to sit was a cushion with a low table in front.

He had seen some costume films and knew that if he wanted to sit in a seat like this, he had to take off his shoes and kneel down.

However, shoes should be taken off before entering the palace. It seems very impolite for him to take them off in front of so many people.

He was also wearing a long down jacket. The temperature here was much warmer than where he traveled. After just a short while, he began to sweat. If he wanted to sit down and eat, he had to take it off.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Wei Chuo next to him saw him standing still and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Jiang Tuan looked at Wei Chuo, who no longer felt the sense of crisis, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, that..."

"My last name is Wei, and my given name is Chuo."

"Oh, Lord Wei, I'm wearing shoes and don't want to take them off. Can I sit anywhere? Also, it's too hot here. Can I take off my coat?"

Wei Chuo looked at Jiang Tuan's shoes and asked, "Where did Mr. Jiang live before? Didn't he sit like this?"

Jiang Tuan nodded. "We have sofas and chairs. At worst, we have a small bench. We rarely sit on the ground. I don't think I can sit still if I kneel down like you guys do."

Wei Chuo was about to ask something else, but Jiang Qi saw them chatting and joined in the conversation: "Mr. Jiang, why don't you sit down? What's troubling you?"

Wei Chuo told the emperor about Jiang Tuan's request, and the emperor smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be polite. Just be casual."

Hearing the emperor's words, Jiang Tuan happily took off his black down jacket. Just as he was about to put it aside, a eunuch came up and helped him take it away.

He thanked him very naturally, which stunned the eunuch. He hesitated for a moment before taking the clothes and leaving.

Of course, Jiang Tuan, who was concentrating on tidying up his clothes, didn't notice this hesitation.

In order to avoid being frozen by the cold weather, Jiang Tuan made full preparations when traveling with the two ladies in his family.

The outer layer is a down jacket, and the inner layer is a light brown fleece sweater, autumn clothes and fleece vest. The lower layer is black fleece pants, warm pants and autumn pants.

The main idea is to try to kill them as long as you can't kill them.

After taking off his long down jacket, he straightened his messy sweatshirt, and without taking off his shoes, he sat down on the mat.

The cushion was too low. Jiang Tuan tried several different postures but none of them were comfortable. Finally, he had to imitate his grandmother and sit cross-legged.

At this time, Jiang Tuan was glad that he was not too fat, otherwise he would not be able to bend his legs with such thick clothes.

Wei Chuo, who was sitting next to him, the emperor who was sitting on the throne, and the other two ministers all looked at Jiang Tuan with curious eyes as he struggled for a while, until he sat down, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They never thought that they would get anxious just because someone was sitting uncomfortably.

When Jiang Tuan finally sat down, the meal came.

Looking at the food on the table, Jiang Tuan could only tell which was meat and which was vegetable, but he couldn't tell what kind of meat and what kind of vegetable they were at all.

Out of caution, he decided to eat the staple food first.

The staple food was a piece of bread that looked like it was baked, brown on the outside but no one knew what the inside looked like.

He picked up the cake and took a bite. Uh, it was a bit hard. It had a wheaty aroma, but it was very rough and hard on the teeth. He would probably feel tired after a few bites.

After finally chewing and swallowing a mouthful of bread, he used chopsticks to pick up a bite of some unknown kind of vegetable. Uh, it didn't taste good either.

Apart from the bitter salty taste, there seems to be no other flavor.

He guessed that the dish should have been boiled in water, with a little salt and some unknown oil added.

The seemingly most ordinary staple dishes and vegetables were cooked so poorly. Jiang Tuan had no idea what the strange taste of the meat would be, and for a moment he didn't want to put it in his mouth.

He remembered that when he was browsing his phone, someone told him that Qin Shihuang, the wise and powerful emperor who was the greatest emperor of all time, ate worse than ordinary people today and had nothing he wanted.

After eating these two bites of food, he had a feeling that his luck was very bad. He was tragically transported to a historical period similar to the Qin Dynasty, where there was nothing.

"Mr. Jiang, why don't you eat? Don't you like it?"

Jiang Qi took a few bites nonchalantly, and when he saw Jiang Tuan didn't move his chopsticks, he asked.

Realizing how bad the environment he was in was, Jiang Tuan just gave up. Since he had already told others his origins, why should he care if others knew about him? Couldn't he eat the food here?

"Your Majesty, you don't need to call me Mr. Jiang. Just call me Jiang Tuan. The Mr. here should refer to a learned person. I am not worthy of that title."

"Okay, then I'll call you Jiang Tuan. Jiang Tuan, why don't you eat your meal? Aren't you hungry?"

"Your Majesty, this food is not tasty."

Jiang Qi took a look at the food on his table. The pancakes were baked to the perfect temperature and the dishes were moderately salty. What was not delicious about them?

Or did the canteen dare to disobey the superiors and deliberately deceive, so that the meals he gave were fine, but those given to the ministers were not good?

Do they think that the ministers are so timid that they would not complain to him even if they ate bad food?

It goes without saying that the emperor is the emperor. With just a few words, Jiang Tuan made the other party directly believe in conspiracy.

After Jiang Tuan finished speaking, he thought that this place might be similar to the Qin Dynasty, where there was nothing available. The food was not delicious. It was a problem of natural conditions and productivity, not of people, so he quickly made up for it.

"The food in our world is different from the food in your world. I may not be used to it."

When Jiang Qi heard this, he took another look at the strange clothes on Jiang Tuan and understood!

The world where Jiang Tuan lives should be a very good place, not only in terms of clothing, but also in terms of food.

That kind of goodness might be incomparable to that of Da Xia, so Jiang Tuan naturally felt that the food here was not delicious.

Out of curiosity, he patiently asked: "Jiang Tuan, what do you eat there?"

What to eat? Of course, eat everything except those that are not allowed to be eaten!

You can eat anything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water!

Jiang Tuan thought so and answered accordingly.

"Basically, we eat everything except poisonous and unpalatable ones, as well as some protected animals and plants. We don't have to worry about what we don't have in our country, we can import it from abroad.

Normally we eat rice, steamed buns, noodles, vermicelli, stir-fried dishes, hot pot, etc.”

Jiang Qi knew about rice, but it was a crop only available in the south. He, the emperor, could eat it, and his ministers could eat it, but ordinary people could not.

But what are steamed buns and noodles? What is stir-frying? What is the cooking method of stir-frying?

In the Xia Dynasty, they steamed, roasted, stewed and boiled food, but never fried it.
