() Iraqi banquets are very different from most Western-style banquets. At least you can't see any alcoholic beverages at the banquet. The guests either have tea or coffee in their hands, and a large group of people gather around the table. There is a lot of food, and the main course is naturally the special roasted whole lamb.
Roast whole lamb is to remove the head and feet of a fat and tender lamb, hollow out the internal organs, stuff it with rice, raisins, almonds, olives, pine nuts and other dried fruits and seasonings, and then roast it on a high fire. It is especially tender and fragrant. , it tastes delicious, and the Arabs are very skilled in cooking with their hands. First, they are not afraid of burning it, and second, they can quickly tear off a small piece of meat with their fingers. The dishes are put into the mouth without touching the fingers to the mouth.
To participate in such a banquet, in addition to Vivian, Canglong also brought another person, Hei Wuchang. This guy likes to eat the most. Although he is not picky about food, his taste buds are the most sensitive among all the people in Team B. What? He can tell at a glance what is delicious and what is not.
When participating in a banquet among Muslims, Cang Long must of course follow the local customs. What's more, he is still a prophet, so he naturally dresses in standard Arab clothing. The same goes for Vivian. The two of them came hand in hand, giving people a very good match. Duhei Wuchang was a bit unsightly, so he just tore off a few pieces of cloth and wrapped them around his head, and that was it.
But obviously today's protagonist is Cang Long, so how Hei Wuchang dresses does not matter to the chiefs present.
"Prophet." Everyone calmed down, bowed and saluted, and put their right hands on their chests to show respect.
"Allah's blessings are on you." Canglong nodded and replied.
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and then it became lively again. Assad invited Canglong to the central yang, a position specially set up for him. Then the men began to sing and dance, while the women sat on the balcony and watched the men holding hands. He started dancing a unique Arabic dance, whispering a few words softly from time to time, and sometimes letting out some laughter.
Because of his status as a prophet, basically no one dared to come over and talk to Canglong. Canglong was also happy to see this scene quietly, but he always felt strange that today's banquet seemed a bit excessive. However, when he saw the strange When Ram and Assad actually chatted with smiles, Canglong put away the doubts in his heart.
Hei Wuchang sat at a table by himself, and his dancing was completely incomprehensible. He had a roasted whole lamb all by himself, and he was having a great time eating.
About ten minutes later, Vivian came over with a woman. Canglong felt that her outfit was very exaggerated. She was covered with dazzling jewelry, and she looked like a queen on stage. However, her figure But it is as perfect as a sculpture. Even if it is wrapped tightly, it still makes people imagine.
Especially those clear eyes, which give people a very innocent feeling. Combined with her dress, she does not feel tacky at all, but has a taste that is not stained by worldly dust.
At this moment, Assad also came over. He took the woman's hand and said, "Prophet, this is my daughter, Amira."
Canglong nodded, and then he remembered Assad's daughter. The last time he attacked the Kada prison was to save her. Of course, he was not interested in seeing her, he just completed the mission, but he didn't see her at that time, and he really regrets it now. , after all, everyone is willing to take a look at such a beautiful beauty.
But for Canglong, it was just for viewing. As for other ideas, he definitely didn't have any other ideas.
"Prophet." Amira's voice was a little ethereal, but Canglong was shocked because it looked so much like the same person.
If those eyes weren't of a completely different color, maybe Cang Long was really one, and the person under the veil would be Mei Lin.
"Allah's blessings are on you." Canglong nodded and replied casually, but then lost interest.
"Amira, you should thank the Prophet. If it weren't for the Prophet, you might have gone to hell now." Assad said with a serious expression.
Soryu didn't think Assad's words were serious, because in Islam, if your internal organs are dug out after death, you will go to hell. Obviously, if Soryu didn't save Amira, it meant that Amira might Eviscerated, just like civilians treated as terrorists.
"In order to thank the prophet, Amira dedicated the most precious gift to the prophet, hoping that the prophet would accept Amira's gratitude." Amira lowered her head and took out a gold dagger studded with gems, which was unique. Islamic style.
Although Amira seemed to be thanking Canglong and immersed herself in her most precious treasure, Canglong could clearly see a bit of reluctance in Amira's eyes, which only flashed past, as she lowered her head. She couldn't see it anymore, obviously she didn't want to give the dagger to Canglong.
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away the love of others. Although Canglong is not a gentleman, he still has some tolerance, but he is in a dilemma now. If he does not accept the gift, it means that he, the prophet, does not accept Amira's gratitude. On the contrary, it would be even more embarrassing. He looked at Assad and said, even if this dagger is really valuable, can you bribe me?
At this moment, Vivian made a mocking look: "Dear Prophet, if you don't accept Amira's gratitude, you are looking down on Amira and Chief Assad."
Canglong glared at her, thinking that it would be fine if this guy didn't speak to him and was still messing with her. In the end, he took the dagger.
Then everyone laughed, only Amira looked a little gloomy, but at this moment, Canglong suddenly said: "Amira, in the name of Allah, I give you this dagger, I hope you can cherish it, Allah Blessings are upon you.”
No one expected that after Canglong accepted the gift, he would suddenly give it to Amira. Even Vivian was surprised, but soon the smile on her face became thicker and thicker, and Amira's eyes revealed A little surprised, he picked it up after blinking for a few times, but Canglong always felt as if he had done something wrong, but what exactly he had done wrong, he suddenly couldn't remember.
After Amira accepted the dagger, she ran away like a girl without even saying thank you. Everyone around her was smiling. Canglong felt a little weird, especially Vivian.
"Are you very smart? It's a pity that this time you were so smart that you were fooled by your cleverness, haha." Vivian smiled and left. At this time, Chief Assad beamed with joy and kindly offered to share the roasted whole lamb with Canglong. In the eyes of Muslims, , sharing food with friends and letting them taste it first is the highest courtesy.
Naturally, Canglong would not refuse. Although he was still wondering what he had done wrong and what Vivian meant by her words, after thinking for a long time, he had no clue. At least he did not feel any hostility.
Seeing everyone singing and dancing, Canglong was filled with melancholy. Of course he would not participate. Instead, he walked aside, sat next to Hei Wuchang, and said, "Are you full?"
"No." Hei Wuchang replied decisively, but he had wiped out all the roasted lamb on the table. If Canglong hadn't sat down, he would have been preparing to move to another table.
"Have a cup of tea." Vivian suddenly walked out, holding a cup of tea in her hand.
Canglong took it and drank it down. Vivian smiled and left again. At this moment, Hei Wuchang suddenly said: "Tou, do you like that girl just now?"
"She's very beautiful, but it's a pity that she's not my type." Canglong said calmly, "Why do you ask that?"
"Oh." Hei Wuchang paused, "The girl just now was wearing wedding clothes. She gave you a gift because she wanted to marry you. If you accept the gift, it means that you approve it. If you don't accept it, it means that she wants to marry you. You refused, and you apparently accepted."
"Damn it." Canglong finally realized what he had done wrong. Even if he was a prophet, he should not accept the most precious gift from a girl. This is an Arab way of courtship. The most important thing is that he actually still
"You are already her husband because you gave her gifts in return. This cannot be changed in Arabia. Now you have a wife." Hei Wuchang chuckled, "Congratulations, head."
Canglong felt a little dizzy: "What did you say?"
"I said congratulations, Tou." Hei Wuchang repeated it again, but Canglong felt like the world was spinning and his mind was dizzy for a while. By the time he reacted, he had already collapsed on the table.
Hei Wuchang put away his smile and showed vigilance on his face. He almost immediately pulled out the machete on his waist, but at this moment, a gun was suddenly pressed against the back of his head, and everyone turned their attention to over here.
"Put down the knife, or I'll blow your head off." Vivian's voice came from behind.
Hei Wuchang was calm and composed: "What do you want to do? If you want to hurt your head, you people are not enough."
"We don't want to hurt him. You should have seen that Canglong and Amira exchanged gifts just now. Amira was wearing wedding clothes at the time. According to custom, they have been engaged. I just want to find a husband for Amira, a poor Arab woman. , Canglong is just right, so I just want to complete what should be done next." Vivian said calmly, "What's more, marrying Chief Assad is in line with Canglong's future strategy in Iraq, and the mutual trust between the two parties will be much improved. After today he will be half Iraqi."
"Oh." Hei Wuchang nodded and said, "Why do you want to use sex to charm him?"
"You idiot, tell him if he can agree to it." Vivian was a little angry, "Where can I find such a good thing? Put the knife down quickly and don't ruin the atmosphere."
"No, you have to agree to a condition." Hei Wuchang said.
"Just say it." At this moment, Chief Assad came over and said.
"In order to ensure the safety of the head, I must wait outside their room at all times, and I have to make sure that Miss Amira will not cause harm to the head." Hei Wuchang said seriously.
"Why are you so troublesome? Do you think I really want to kill him? If I really want to kill him, do you think he can't feel the murderous intention as a killer? It's precisely because I didn't want to kill him that he relaxed his sleep, so You are easily charmed by me, you know." Vivian said coldly, "You can stay outside, but you can't check Miss Amira, she is your future wife, if you dare to touch her, hum."
"Deal." Hei Wuchang quickly put away the machete, picked up Canglong and left.
"What do you want to do?" Vivian pointed the gun at him.
"Where is the wedding room? I don't worry about others sending him there. I want to send him there myself." Hei Wuchang said seriously.
Hearing this, Vivian winked at Assad, and then Assad took Hei Wuchang to the villa. In a gorgeous room, Hei Wuchang saw the bride Amira who was just sitting. With his head lowered by the bed, Hei Wuchang walked in, threw Canglong on the bed, and then said to Amira seriously: "Don't hurt him, otherwise my machete will not show mercy."
As he spoke, Hei Wuchang flashed his machete, seemingly threatening Amira. Facing Hei Wuchang's actions, Vivian standing at the door was funny and angry, but this just proved Hei Wuchang's loyalty to Canglong and to others. To me, threatening a girl with a knife is a bit unmanly, but Hei Wuchang can't control that much.
