Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

"Ahahaha...are we...going to work today?"

He looked at Ying Zheng with a look as if asking for help.

His Majesty!

Just say something!

How should he respond?

What does going to work mean?

Is he working or not?

Seeing his expression, Qi Pan said, "Don't you know whether you can go to work or not?"

"this........"

Ying Zheng took over the conversation and said, "He really doesn't know."

"I have the final say on whether to go to work or not."

Qi Pan suddenly realized, "That's right! You are their boss, you know best whether they go to work or not!"

"So are you guys still going to work today?"

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I won't go today."

Although he is not very clear about what going to work means, it should be reasonable to say this, right?

"Oh, that's good. I can have a good rest for a day."

When Qi Pan looked up, he saw Eleven and Twelve walking in carrying a large tripod.

She asked curiously, "What are you guys doing?"

Eleven and Twelve placed the large tripod in their hands on the low table in front of Qi Pan and Ying Zheng.

Eleven replied, "The food is ready, here are the dishes."

What?

vegetable?

Qi Pan looked at the large bronze tripod with legs on the low table in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

"You, do you all use this for meals here?"

"Isn't this too retro? There's even a bronze tripod."

"Ah... Really? Very retro?"

Ying Zheng remained calm and tried to get information out of Qi Pan.

"You guys don't use this for meals anymore?"

"No need."

Qi Pan said, "Aren't they all plates, dishes, and bowls?"

"This kind of retro bronze tripod is probably only used here."

"But I understand. After all, this place is relatively close to Xianyang Tourist Village, and you are an extra."

"I usually work in Xianyang City. I am used to using these bronze tripods and sitting on my knees."

"It's normal to get used to the ancient people's way of life."

Plate?

plate?

bowl?

Ying Zheng said, "I have this bowl as well."

As he said that, he turned to look at Eleven and ordered, "Bring two bowls and chopsticks."

"promise."

Eleven responded and then turned to go to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

Twelve followed him and brought the meal.

After placing the bowls and chopsticks in front of Ying Zheng and Qi Pan, Eleven and Twelve withdrew.

Standing guard at the door of the inn.

Ying Zheng looked at Qi Pan and said, "Are you hungry? Come, have some food first."

“Try our specialties.”

Qi Pan was also hungry, so she nodded and said, "Okay! You eat too!"

After saying that, she picked up the bowl in front of her, stood up slightly, and prepared to serve the rice.

Looking at the steaming millet in the bronze tripod, she was stunned.

"This...Brother, is this what you eat as your staple food?"

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes to look at Ji in the bronze tripod and asked in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this?"

The millet has been shelled and is very clean and delicious.

Normally, only the wealthy merchants and dignitaries in the Qin Dynasty could afford such excellent food.

Ordinary people eat millet with shells.

There is also rice mixed with wheat and beans.

Qi Pan asked, "You guys eat millet as your staple food, right?"

Although she knew that some places were different from her hometown, she didn't expect that the staple food here was millet?!

She thought it would be noodles, or rice like in her hometown.

I didn’t expect that it was millet used to cook porridge?!

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.

Oh?

Millet?

It turns out that they call millet "xiaomi"?

He nodded and said, "It's not all millet, we also eat wheat, beans, sorghum and rice."

"Change the food. Eating just one kind is too greasy. Change the taste occasionally."

"Oh...I see."

Qi Pan nodded in understanding, "I was just saying, now that the world is developing so fast, everyone eats rice."

"It's a bit strange that you guys still eat millet. I guess you're afraid of getting sick of it, so you eat it in turns."

She never gets tired of eating rice.

She never gets tired of eating rice for three meals a day.

But if she eats the same dish three times a day, she will get bored.

Rice?

Is it rice?

Ying Zheng said, "That's right, that's right."

It turns out that the staple food there is rice?

Daqin does have rice, but the yield is extremely low.

The staple food on weekdays is mostly millet and sorghum.

Qi Pan took a spoon and scooped up the rice. "I have only eaten millet porridge, but never millet rice."

“It’s a good time to try it.”

She served herself half a bowl of millet rice, which was not very big.

I’m worried that the food won’t be to my taste and I won’t be able to finish it and it will be wasted.

She picked up the bowl in front of Ying Zheng again, "Hey, brother, how much do you want to eat? I'll help you get some food."

Ying Zheng said, "One bowl will be enough."

He is not very hungry now, so he just eats one bowl of food as a token of his appreciation.

"okay!"

After finishing his meal, Qi Pan looked at Zhao Gao and Wang Wan who were sitting still.

He looked at Ying Zheng in confusion, "Aren't they going to eat?"

"They're not hungry."

Ying Zheng said, "Just eat it, don't worry about them, they will go to the kitchen to cook it later."

Wang Wan and Zhao Gao quickly said, "Yes...we are not hungry yet."

"You and us..."

Thinking of what Qi Pan had said before, that His Majesty was their boss, Wang Wan spoke quickly.

"Just eat with our boss. We'll go out for a walk first."

After saying that, Wang Wan quickly stood up and walked out.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help but scold the young man out loud.

That’s a bit too bold!

How dare you eat at the same table with His Majesty!

Really.......

It's really a disregard for etiquette!!!

Seeing this, Zhao Gao quickly got up and followed Wang Wan out without saying a word.

Seeing the two men running away, Qi Pan blinked in confusion.

Hey?

Is eating a meal so scary?

He just ran away?

Or are they afraid of Yue Zheng?

Don’t dare to have dinner with Yue Zheng?

Qi Pan raised his head and glanced at Ying Zheng's handsome face.

It shouldn't be.

This guy is so handsome, how can he be scary?

Seeing that the young man didn't eat, Ying Zheng stared at him and said.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at my face?"

Is there a recipe on his face?

Qi Pan said, "I was looking to see how you scared them so much that they ran away."

"I don't even dare to eat with you."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng thought to himself.

He is the king and they are the subjects.

There is a difference between monarch and minister.

It was normal that they didn't dare to eat at the same table with him.

What's so strange?

Ying Zheng said, "Didn't you just say that I am their boss? They are afraid of me."

"Yeah, I almost forgot."

Qi Pan nodded, "Indeed, if you were my boss, I would probably be afraid of you too."

"Oh? You're afraid of your boss too?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qi Pan in confusion.
