Besides the flock of sheep bleating,
They also brought Zhao Yuan some jade and treasures from their tribe.
More than 10,000 sheep were driven outside Dazhai.
All I could hear was the bleating of the sheep.
"Slaughter a sheep to reward the three armies."
At a single command, the camp returned to calm.
Zhao Yuan naturally wouldn't allow the cooks to prepare the lamb.
Instead, they let the barbarians do it.
The barbarian chieftain heard that the king wanted to eat the sheep they had prepared.
They immediately began vying for the job of serving the gods.
Zhao Yuan simply ordered one tribe to make one.
Then the generals waited until evening to savor the Hundred Lamb Feast.
The tribal leaders immediately summoned the best cooks in their tribes to prepare the sheep.
It wasn't night yet,
Li Kui and the others then found their way to the central command tent.
Tonight's feast of a hundred sheep is for all officers of the rank of commander and above.
Li Kui waited for a while,
He couldn't help but say,
"When I arrived just now, I saw that they had almost finished."
"Everyone is waiting outside for the King to start the banquet."
Although the central command tent is large,
However, even with 90,000 troops, there were still a hundred commanders, including both commanders of a thousand and commanders of ten thousand.
If everyone rushes in,
The central command tent would also be extremely crowded.
Therefore, the centurion usually waited outside.
Only Li Kui dared to roam around so carefree.
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Tie Niu, calm down."
Yan Qing, who was also standing behind Lu Junyi, smiled and said...
"A good feast is worth eating, so drool a little more."
"It will taste even better later."
Li Kui's Adam's apple bobbed.
"Brother Xiao Yi is the best at eating, drinking and having fun, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Yuan saw how easily Yan Qing had fooled Li Kui.
"Xiao Yi, are you still not planning to become an official?"
"You've accumulated quite a few military merits,"
"If he were to become an official, he would surely be promoted to commander of ten thousand men next time."
Yan Qing laughed and said, "I can't be a civil official like Xiao Yi."
"Military officer Xiao Yi doesn't like it."
"Once the world is unified, Xiao Yi will travel the world with Shi Shi."
"To appreciate the beautiful scenery and customs of the world, is it not wonderful?"
Lu Junyi shook his head and said, "I used to frequent those brothels and taverns."
After meeting Li Shishi, he became even less ambitious.
Yan Qing laughed and said, "Master also knows Xiao Yi's abilities."
"Skills like playing wind and string instruments and singing can only bring a smile to the emperor's face,"
"Be a favored minister like Gao Qiu."
"But Your Majesty is not Zhao Ji,"
"Xiao Yi can't even become a favored minister,"
So he had no choice but to wander the world.
Lu Junyi turned around and glared at Yan Qing.
"You possess exceptional martial skills; if you wish to become a military general,"
"Why can't it be done?"
Yan Qing hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, please calm down."
"In truth, Xiao Yi's ambitions lie elsewhere,"
"Xiao Yibao's master fought in the south and north,"
"Then he begged his master to let Xiao Yi go and live a happy life for the rest of his days."
Seeing Yan Qing's respectful attitude, Lu Junyi
"Fine, fine, do whatever you want."
Yan Qing was also from Daming Prefecture, Beijing.
However, he lost both his parents at a young age.
He was adopted by Lu Junyi and kept at home.
It was not about selling oneself into slavery.
After the main beam was built,
Lu Junyi then forbade Yan Qing from addressing him as "master."
They wanted to give Yan Qingbo a better social standing.
However, Yan Qing remained unmoved.
They still consider themselves servants.
Yan Qing said happily, "Thank you for your kindness, Master."
People in the martial arts world value even the smallest act of kindness.
They repaid him with gratitude, and no one thought Yan Qing's actions were inappropriate.
Zhao Yuan waited for a while longer.
Upon receiving Xue Yong's report,
Only then did he lead everyone outside.
Although these barbarians all expressed their loyalty,
However, Zhao Yuan could not help but be wary of spies from the Western Xia.
If someone were to poison all the generals of Liang, they would be incapacitated.
That would be a huge joke.
Chapter 1865 Cumin
A large tent was set up by a group of people.
The sky was already starting to darken.
The torches on the camp wall had not yet been lit.
Make the campfire in the open space even more eye-catching.
The aroma of roasting lamb turning over the campfire...
It's even more tempting.
Most of the more than one hundred tribes chose roasted whole lamb.
It's as if they only know how to grill.
Only a few tribes chose to steam, boil, or stew.
Stir-fry dishes have just been invented.
It initially circulated only in a few restaurants in Tokyo.
It gradually spread among the Han people.
Zhao Yuan walked to the first bonfire.
The tribal chief accepted the gold vessel handed to him by Xue Yong.
I personally cut the freshest piece of meat from the lamb roasting over the fire.
He held it up and handed it to Zhao Yuan.
"good."
Zhao Yuan took a bite.
I'd reluctantly give one evaluation.
If it weren't for the fear of hurting the pride of the barbarians...
Zhao Yuan wanted to spit the meat in his mouth onto the ground.
Although the meat quality is very good,
However, it has a very strong mutton smell.
They ate mutton from more than a dozen tribes in a row.
They all taste pretty much the same.
It was nowhere near as delicious as the roasted whole lamb of later generations.
Zhao Yuan was not satisfied with his meal.
The generals behind them, however, had a great appetite.
Each person was holding a plate and eating.
Although it cannot compare to the roasted whole lamb of later generations,
However, the roasted mutton of the barbarians was still better than that of the Han Chinese.
For those who have never tasted the delicacies of later generations,
Still pretty good.
A tribal chief confidently presented several skewers of mutton, bowing as he said,
"Your Majesty, please try our tribe's roasted mutton."
Zhao Yuan looked at something that resembled lamb skewers from later times.
It was also sprinkled with some powder similar to cumin.
There was also a hint of anticipation.
He picked up a skewer, put it in his mouth, and exclaimed in surprise,
"You added cumin?"
The foreigner shook his head and said, "No, I only added some benzoin."
"Fennel can remove the muttony smell,"
