Next is the Treasure Appreciation Conference, where treasures from all over the world gather in Xidu, making the commercial capital that is already a gathering of merchants from all over the world even more prosperous.
Before the treasure appreciation meeting and the military parade of various countries, Yao Yun once again held a grand banquet in the palace to entertain the kings of various countries. The famous Xiguo food and wine in the Southern Wilderness were all available, and the scene was extremely lively.
Before the banquet started, as soon as the kings of various countries arrived, the ten Nuwa Empresses came and sat down next to Yao Yun naturally, as if they were going home for dinner. All of a sudden, they all belonged to the three Marquis Wu Chuyue.
And the seats of a number of earls and monarchs were snatched.
"I almost missed it, hiss~ It smells so good! Yao Yun, you didn't notify us when you held the banquet. If we hadn't smelled the fragrance hundreds of miles away, we would have missed it this time. Yao Yun, do you think we ate it?
Too much?"
The ten Wachang empresses spoke in unison, smelling the aroma of delicacies in the room, and their faces were filled with happiness.
"I'm kidding, you guys haven't gone out to play these past two days. I don't know if you're coming back today. Otherwise, how could you forget us?" Yao Yun smiled helplessly. Nuwa's intestines were too obsessed with food.
Can you smell it even from hundreds of miles away? What kind of magical power is this?
Empress Wachang became easy to talk to when she had delicious food. They sat down, ate the delicious food and drank the fine wine. They soon forgot to complain and concentrated on the food.
This sudden change made the kings of various countries a little confused and looked at this scene blankly.
When Yao Yun saw this, he immediately explained: "The Marquis of Chu, the Marquis of Wu, the Marquis of Yue, all the kings of the country, these ten gods are the intestines of Nuwa."
Yao Yun just mentioned the origin of the name Wachang Empress. The princes of various countries who were frowning quickly relaxed their brows, put on smiles, and respectfully saluted the ten Wachang Empresses, calling them "Wachang Empress".
Empress Nuwa is an ancient saint and is highly respected by the human race. Even the Empress Wachang in front of her has the merits of mending the sky. The entire human race has been blessed by her. Now Empress Wachang has taken away their seats. How dare they?
What complaints? One by one, they show off their beauty to please the ten Wachang Empresses.
However, it is a pity that the Wachang Empress, who is addicted to delicious food, has no time to pay attention to the harassment of the monarchs and ignores them. Only when Yao Yun spoke, the empresses thought that Yao Yun was the master of this place, the master of the banquet, and the man-eater.
Short and with a good attitude.
The kings of the Southern Wilderness Kingdom were all quite surprised by this scene, and they secretly speculated about the relationship between Yao Yun and the ten Wachang Empresses.
Among them, the four kings of Chu, Wu, Yue, and Izumo had even more complicated thoughts and were confused and confused.
Why did the Wachang Empresses live in Xiguo for a long time if they didn't live in Liguangzhi all year round? And they seemed to have a good friendship with Yao Yun. If they put pressure on Xiguo, would the ten Wachang empresses interfere?
At the banquet, the four monarchs Wu Chuyue and Izumo still kept smiles on their faces, but their hearts were full of clouds and fear.
Although the Wachang empresses have mediocre magical powers, their status and background are too prominent to offend.
Even if the elite masters under his command could defeat the Wachang Empress with magical powers, who among them would dare to order an attack on the ten empresses? If they attack today, they will be unlucky tomorrow. The emperor will ask for punishment, and the princes of the world will criticize her one after another.
The original self-confidence of the four monarchs in "taking control of Xiguo at will" unconsciously diluted a bit, and each of them became calmer.
The water in Xiguo seems to be a bit deep.
"I just hope that Empress Wachang will not mix with the world." The four monarchs were filled with fear. Suddenly, the dishes and wine at the banquet no longer tasted good.
The guests mingled with each other, and it was very lively. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the waiters presented bowls of steaming white rice.
At the monarch's banquet, such an ordinary food as white rice would hardly be considered elegant, let alone the object of everyone's attention. However, today's monarch's banquet, white rice stole the show.
As soon as the white rice appeared in the hall, the kings of various countries were quickly attracted by it. They put down the delicacies in their chopsticks and the wine in their hands, and their eyes fell on the fragrant white rice.
The Wachang Empresses are absolutely god-level when it comes to eating, and they have great magical powers. As soon as they smell the fragrance of white rice, they discover the difference of white rice.
"The grass and trees are fragrant, and this rice seems to be new rice that has just been harvested! No, it's only May. Yao Yun, has the hundred acres of gypsum rice in the Chishui Plain been harvested?"
"Your Majesty, my Majesty, this is indeed ointment rice. Madam, how do you think it tastes?" After Yao Yun invited Madam Wachang to taste it, he then said to the kings of various countries: "Kings, please!"
Empress Wachang, the kings were not polite when they saw this, and tasted the white rice before the incident. In fact, they had long been curious in their hearts, how does the paste rice that is only three months old taste like?
For a time, all the kings in the palace began to savor the paste rice carefully, and Yao Yun was no exception.
"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad. It's soft and delicate, and the mouth is full of aroma. The taste seems to be three points better than ordinary rice."
"Yes, it's really miraculous. I thought that the quality of ointment rice might not be as good as ordinary rice because of its fast growth. But who could have imagined that the taste is surprisingly good."
"Well, it smells so good! This ointment is so magical. Why didn't Empress Hanba bring this treasure earlier?"
"No, no, no, from a personal perspective, thanks to Xihou Youli Zhu Zhiming, I can see the real treasure at a glance. Xihou has done a lot of credit. This rice is really good, and it seems to be very filling."
.......
After tasting the paste rice, all the monarchs talked a lot. Most of them had very good comments about the paste rice. Their faces were full of surprises and surprises, and they were a little bit unbelievable. Why does the paste rice grow and mature in three months?
So delicious? Does this give other rice a way to survive?
"Gourmet experts" Wachang ladies also gave praise: "Yao Yun, this rice is so fragrant, we will all eat this kind of rice in the future!"
Yao Yun was quite surprised when he heard the unanimous praise from everyone. He did not expect that paste rice tastes so good. Generally speaking, compared with late rice, early rice is looser, dry and hard, and has a worse taste.
Yao Yun ate a lot of early rice last time. Because he ate too much, he got used to the taste and did not think it was unpalatable. However, for most people, early rice tastes worse than late rice. There is no doubt that
fact.
But the paste rice in front of me is obviously early rice, but its taste is not inferior to ordinary rice, or even a few points better.
This point has not only been authoritatively recognized by the "food expert" Wachang Empress, but has also been praised by many monarchs.
"This rice is so good. It grows fast, the yield is not bad, and the taste is so good. Why didn't Lord Houji pass this millet to the Celestial Empire? What a pity." Some ministers murmured to themselves.
When Yao Yun heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Don't make rash remarks about Master Houji. In fact, the taste of early-maturing rice is not so good. The reason why it is so good is thanks to the [Dangkang Golden Soil], which is nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth.
Can the paste rice taste bad?”
After everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that Lian Dao was like this.
However, the eyes of the four kings Wu Chuyue and Izumo flashed with strange colors, and [Dangkang Jinyang]'s miraculous performance once again made their hearts beat.
