"Wu, I've done what you want me to do, the fireworks are there, let my brother let me have a good ......time" Bhatat found Wu Yuanqing, "I don't hide it from you, I just like this fireworks, and I'm old and happy.....""
Bhatat, be careful, this thing is dangerous....."
Wu Yuanqing pointed to the more than 100 boxes of fireworks, and then asked Batat, "Brother, have you sent out all the invitations that my brother asked you to distribute?"
It's the first day of opening, so it's very important!
”"Hey, I'll leave all the invitations to Papadopoulos, he's better at dealing with those big people than I am...."
Bhatat grinned, and just as Bhatat said that he was more adequate, Papadopoulos walked in, "Are you ready, I tell you, the big men of Constantinople have agreed, and they will attend our opening banquet together.....""
It's all ready...."
Qian Guang said with a smile, "We are buying according to the standard of three hundred people....."
Money, no, you don't know, after His Majesty said that he was going to be there tonight, many people who were not on our invitation list also found me, and they also wanted to come and join in the fun...."
Papadopoulos frowned and said, "The standard of three hundred people is too low, at least double it.....""
What?
That's six hundred?
”Qian Guang and Batat grew up together, only Wu Yuanqing seemed to be holding Zhizhu, "It's okay, I've already counted these wall grasses, fortunately, I have been prepared....."
Wu Yuanqing is worthy of being a gentleman from a business family, and when he learned that Constans II would personally attend the opening banquet, he expected this situation, and he had already prepared.When night fell on time, the whole of Constantinople fell into darkness, only the streets of Sotras, not far from the Sun Palace, were still brightly lit, and the top gentleman Batat was now ordering people to maintain order and act as a doorman, no way, the people who came tonight were so big that he had to stand in front of the door to greet the guests."
Little Papan, how did you become a doorman?"
A big nobleman dressed in a precious silk robe smiled and said to Bhatat, "Hey, Uncle Isaac, I can't be a guest if I don't want to be a guest, you are all big people, and there is no ..... with a lower status than me."
Bhatat learned Wu Yuanqing's movements, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking helpless.Isaac was the chief justice of the Eastern Roman Empire, one of the most trusted courtiers of Constans II, he was very strict, but today he also showed a rare humor, "Oh, I see, that still really hurts you....."
After saying that, he patted Bhatat on the shoulder, and then walked into the hall with his wife.As the master of the empire, Constans II naturally wanted to appear in the finale, when these big men came to the drunken immortal building one after another, Wu Yuanqing saw that it was not a big man, but a mountain of gold that would walk, he could throw his face into the Aegean Sea for money and interests, so the prince of Wu was like a diligent little guy, and he was courteous to these big men who stood at the top of the pyramids of Eastern Rome.
This made these big people very happy, it seems that the phrase "at home" in the drunken immortal building is really not a decoration, and their vanity and self-esteem were immediately satisfied."
Your Majesty, please ..... here" Since it was Constans II who came in person, Wu Yuanqing, Qian Guang and some other powerful people who were on the stage all came out of the Drunken Immortal Building to greet His Majesty the Emperor, and Wu Yuanqing was like a dog, leading the way to Constans II, "Luna, go, I will take you to taste the food from Seris....."
Constans II held a beautiful maiden, who was Louis, the queen he had re-elected after defeating Valentine.
Zoe.The arrival of Constans II and Empress Zoe marked that the guests had arrived, and Wu Yuanqing said to Constans II like a dog, "Your Majesty, please move to the observation deck on the third floor with Her Majesty the Empress, we have prepared a small program for you and you, it can be regarded as a small surprise.....
The group of leaders of the Eastern Roman Empire led by Constans II and Empress Zoe, under the guidance of Wu Yuanqing and others, came to their positions according to their different statuses, and when they took the throne, Wu Yuanqing personally went downstairs and found Batat, "I said, brother, don't play a bad role....."
Don't worry, my favorite is this fireworks...."
Bhatat grinned, looking nonchalant, "My favorite fireworks, I'm here....."
Besides, the Eastern Roman people upstairs were looking at each other there, what kind of famous people were Seris, they look at me, I look at you, just when they looked at each other, they suddenly heard a "bang", and a beautiful flower bloomed in the air in the square in front of the drunken fairy building, "God, what is this???
”"What do I see?
Is the angel alive?
”Just when they were surprised, more fireworks were hit into the sky, and colorful sparks flew up and down, sometimes like flowers blooming, sometimes like angels appearing, flickering and darkening, embellishing the night into a world of flowers."
Your Majesty, it's so beautiful, what is this?"
Queen Zoe's face was intoxicated, so beautiful, she couldn't help but indulge in it."
Luna, I don't know....."
How did Constans II know that there was such a thing as fireworks?"
Your Majesty, this old minister knows..... this is an entertainment item set off by the Seris when they celebrate festivals or express joy....."
Sergio, who has been promoted to Chief Minister of the Imperial Council.
Prusack said."
Fireworks?
That's a fitting name....."
Empress Zoe smiled and said, "Well, it's really appropriate, I think we will have to hold such a fireworks festival in the future to be worthy of the name of the empire....."
Constans II was also a man of face, and he felt that he had a good idea."
Your Majesty, I think it's a good idea....."
The Patriarch Paul I also agreed very much, this old god stick has already thought about it, and will ask Wu Yuanqing later if he can help him customize a batch of special fireworks, so that he can pretend to be a ghost.After enjoying the fireworks feast, it is natural to enter the topic, Zuixianlou is a restaurant, naturally inseparable from the word "eating and drinking", "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is braised pork, this is Kung Pao Chicken, this is Gulouzi, this is ......."
Wang Xuance is actually a foodie, he is the main escort today, accompanied several Romans with the highest status to dine together, "Ambassador Wang, what is this??"
”Empress Zoe pointed to the dumplings on the silver plate with her little finger and said, "They are so cute, can you eat them?"
”"Your Majesty the Queen, this is our favorite staple food of the Chinese people, its name is flat food....."

Wang Xuance didn't want to call dumplings, he stubbornly called the dumplings by their nicknames, and said that Wang Xuance picked up a dumpling with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it a few times, "It tastes good...."
Constans II picked up a team of silver chopsticks and learned from Wang Xuance to pick up dumplings, but unfortunately he didn't know the essentials, "Ambassador Wang, how did you use these two silver sticks?"
”"Your Majesty, this is chopsticks, every one of us must learn the tableware since childhood..... chopsticks are also exquisite, whether it is bamboo chopsticks or wooden chopsticks or this kind of silver chopsticks, all chopsticks are the same length, three or two, seven inches and six minutes long....."
Wang Xuance spoke very proudly about the history of chopsticks, "In our Chinese country, chopsticks hide people's attitude towards life.The intention contains a lot of life philosophy: the front head is round, the back head is square, symbolizing that people and things should be self-contained; The length of seven inches and six minutes warns the world that the seven emotions and six desires must know how to stop in moderation.Used in pairs, it means the combination of yin and yang, and combining the two into one also has the meaning of cooperation. ”"Oh God, you Seris are very exquisite, and compared to you, I feel that we Romans are even a bunch of barbarians before you....."
Patriarch Paul I was very emotional after listening to Wang Xuance's cultural connotation of chopsticks, no, there are no forks and other things in Roman food now, they only have huge knives.Prussia had been to Crushed Leaves, but the old man had learned to use chopsticks, and he skillfully used chopsticks to pick up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's delicious.....
Seeing that the old man could skillfully use chopsticks, the eyes of the nobles present were red, Ma Dan, this is so high, you must learn to use chopsticks, and you will be qualified to laugh at others in the future."
Your Majesty, the chopsticks of the Seris people are still a little taboo, like they cannot be placed neatly; You can't put it in your mouth when you eat; It is not allowed to beat plates and the rim of bowls; Prusak glanced at Wang Xuance, "Ambassador Wang, am I right?"
”As for why we choose to use chopsticks, I think the reason is very simple, that is, elegant, hygienic, and avoid hot hands.....
Wang Xuance responded with a smile."
Ambassador Wang, tell me more about .....?"
Constans II was very curious about Wang Xuance's statement."
Hehe, it's very simple, our Chinese cuisine is mostly cooked at high temperatures!
From the moment it is out of the pot to the time it is served, there is basically no change in temperature.Besides, you can only enjoy the deliciousness if you eat it hot.Just imagine, everyone is gathered together, everyone else uses chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, what if someone catches it with their hands?
Isn't it funny?
Everyone puts down the chopsticks together, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.I don't need to explain hygiene or anything, everyone understands, as for hot hands, hahahaha, Your Majesty, look ....."
Wang Xuance suddenly picked up a few pieces of mutton rolls, quickly dipped them in the bronze hot pot and walked around, then ate this piece of mutton, and finally asked Constans II, "Your Majesty, do you say that what I said is right or not?"
”Constans II looked at Wang Xuance, and was speechless, he and Empress Zoe and many other Eastern Roman nobles all thought so in their hearts: what he said is so reasonable, chopsticks are a symbol of force, hemp eggs, in order to prove that they are superior, they must learn to use chopsticks.
