Chapter 300: Foreign Bonfire Banquet
Seeing that they were not scolded when they approached, these local people became more courageous. The adults were okay and watched curiously from a distance, but the children among the local people came closer to watch, and even followed Gan Yu and others who were working. , not afraid of people at all.
This left Gan Yu and others quite speechless. Even though these children were young and courageous, their parents actually let them come over with confidence. They were also very generous!
In addition, Gan Yu and others felt strange and uncomfortable working while being watched by a group of people.
Gan Yu quickly thought about what this awkward feeling was, as if they had discovered monkeys in the jungle for the first time and a group of people just stared there for a long time.
Thinking about it carefully, the local people looked at them the same as they looked at monkeys, and they were even more novel. After all, monkeys can't wear clothes, and monkeys can't talk.
If there really was a monkey that could speak human language and wear clothes, it would have been born by this time and would be doing Bi Mawen in the sky.
As the sun was about to set, the local people returned to the village. Gan Yu and others breathed a sigh of relief. It was really awkward to be looked at by these local people who had no sense of boundaries.
There was a language barrier, and it was hard to put on a cold face and yell at them to persuade them to leave. The local people didn't have any ill intentions, they just felt very strange to see outsiders like them.
But before Gan Yu and others were happy that the locals had finally left, they saw the locals coming out again, led by the local who was suspected to be the "village chief". Many locals were holding various thing.
At a glance, Gan Yu and others saw that some people were holding meat, some were holding fish, some were holding unknown wild fruits, and some were holding unknown vegetables...
Gan Yu felt his head hurt. We didn't enter your village because we didn't want to eat your food or live in your house just in case. Unexpectedly, we couldn't hide even outside the village. They just came out with their things!
These local people really have no sense of boundaries, so they never thought that outsiders like them would murder them?
Gan Yu was about to get up and negotiate with the "village chief". Everyone had brought out things and at least wanted to express their gratitude. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the local "village chief" started gesticulating to him with great interest. , while also greeting other local people to do things.
Gan Yu thought that the local people would give them the things. Unexpectedly, the local people did not give them the things. Instead, they happily did various things with the things they brought.
At this time, Gan Yu realized that there was a misunderstanding. The local people did not want to bring them food, but wanted to hold a bonfire feast here.
The reason why the local people came here with their things was because they wanted to invite them to participate, but they did not enter the village.
Looking at the local people who were setting up what seemed to be a grill, it was neither right nor wrong for Gan Yu to refuse now. After a brief thought, Gan Yu took courage. These local people had no sense of boundaries, so this bonfire They also boldly participated in the banquet!
Gan Yu smiled and nodded to the "village chief", indicating that he understood that they would accept the kindness and attend the banquet.
Gan Yu informed others about the invitation of local people to the bonfire party. Others also looked incredulous. What were these locals thinking? Aren't you afraid that they have some agenda, and yet you invite them to a bonfire party?
The sun sets and night falls, but piles of bonfires are lit outside Wata Village. The brilliance of the flames illuminates the night, and the aroma of barbecue gradually wafts in the evening wind.
Gan Yu was invited by the "village chief" to join them on a small temporary stage. The "village chief" said something incomprehensible, probably to express his welcome to them and to present them with treasures. Thanks. Anyway, after the "village chief" said this, the local people in the audience cheered in unison.
The "village chief" gave up the place and made a gesture of "please!", indicating that Gan Yu would also say a few words. Gan Yu did not refuse and walked forward and said a few words, even though he did not understand what Gan Yu said. , but the local people were very considerate and cheered happily.
As the "village chief" shouted again, the local people cheered again, and the bonfire party officially began.
Gan Yu was invited by the "village chief" to sit together, and the others found their own places to sit. Since outsiders were a novelty, the others were also invited by the local people.
Gan Yu noticed that the cooking methods of the local people were also quite unique. To put it simply, they were different from those in Da Qin. Moreover, they did not have chopsticks as utensils, so what they cooked was rice, right? It’s so unclean to eat it directly with your hands!
Moreover, they also like to use sauces, like the grilled fish in front of Gan Yu. It is coated with an unknown sauce. He feels appetizing when looking and smelling it, but after witnessing the preparation of this fish Zhifa's Gan Yu's expression is quite subtle.
If Li Nian were here, he would tell him with a smile: "Don't panic, this is at least cleaner and more hygienic than the Ganges water in future generations!"
If possible, Gan Yu would not want to eat these foods, but the "village chief" and the local people looked at him expectantly, and Gan Yu could only pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The taste cannot be said to be unpleasant, but it is not unacceptable to say how delicious it is. It is a bit novel, regardless of the production method.
Gan Yu and others also took out the food and tableware they had brought with them, which made the local people curious. The food could be made like this. Is this tableware used by outsiders? Use two small sticks?
It is inconvenient to use small wooden sticks to pick up food. How about using your hands?
These outsiders are not too troublesome!
But eating with small wooden sticks seems to be more elegant and polite than eating with their hands. The local people actually don't know what "elegant and polite" means. They just think that this way of eating by outsiders seems to be very advanced and more elegant than them. large and luxurious.
Gan Yu and the others had received etiquette training before coming. After all, they were envoys sent by Da Qin to represent Da Qin. Not only did they have to be very particular about their meals, but they also couldn't be too vulgar and casual.
Seeing the curious expressions of the local people who wanted to learn, several Baiyue people who came with them secretly laughed in their hearts that these people had no knowledge and did not understand anything.
Who knows that compared to Da Qin, Baiyue is not much better. Now that they have followed Da Qin and gained some knowledge, they have begun to have superiority, which makes others feel funny.
After trying it for the first time, Gan Yu gave up and ate the food sent by the local people. It was not rich and there were not many dishes. How many good things can a village produce?
Mainly barbecue, barbecue, grilled fish, grilled vegetables, paired with those strange sauces, cooked rice, and a strange-tasting liquid that seems to be juice or wine. Gan Yu can't taste it anyway. Made of things.
While eating, Gan Yu also chatted with the "village chief". Although the two parties did not understand the language, it did not hinder communication.
They spread a mat and sat directly on the ground. All the food was placed on the mat. Gan Yu gestured: "We are coming from the north, where is Da Qin? What is Da Qin? You ask? Da Qin is a country, the strongest in the world." In our country, Da Qin has the greatest Majesty, the wisest Master Li Nian, the invincible General Wang Jian, and Prime Minister Wang Wan who leads hundreds of officials!”
In fact, the "village chief" didn't ask at all, and he didn't understand what Gan Yu said, but this didn't stop Gan Yu from telling him. In these words, "Great Qin" appears many times, which must be an extremely important thing to this outsider, and may even be the place where they come from.
The "Village Chief" imitated Gan Yu's pronunciation just now and said tentatively: "Da Qin (Da Qin)?"
Hearing the nondescript and very strange pronunciation of "Village Chief", Gan Yu was immediately amused and corrected with a smile: "It's 'Da Qin', not 'Da Qin', Da Qin!"
The "village chief" and the surrounding local people all started reading along with Gan Yu, and the sound reached the ears of other local people. Although they didn't know what was going on, they also read along curiously.
Hearing the local people reciting "Da Qin", other Qin people attending the banquet couldn't help but remember that those who can be sent as envoys are all descendants of the old Qin. Da Qin is their mother country and their hometown, where they live Parents, relatives and friends have their pasts.
The voices of the local people and the voices of the Qin people combined and the strange "Great Qin" sound sounded here, spreading around in the dark night. This was the first time that this land had the sound of "Great Qin".
Several Baiyue people did not follow the chant, their hearts were full of yearning and envy, thinking how great it would be if the chant was for their tribe.
Hearing the local people chanting the words "Great Qin", Gan Yu also became interested. He stood up and asked the two of them to get a special version of the map of Great Qin and unfold it in front of the local people.
Why a special edition map?
This is because it is incomplete, and the Qin Dynasty is intentionally listed in the center of the map. It makes the Qin Dynasty seem very big, as if it occupies the center of the world, while other countries are only in the corners of the world, defending the Qin Dynasty.
This will have a psychological impact on people who see the map. Da Qin is the country in the center of the world and serves as the upper dynasty for the kingdom of heaven. The other countries are not as good as it, and they can only defend and submit to Da Qin.
Gan Yu pointed to the area with "Qin" written clearly on it, and loudly introduced it to the local people: "This is the 'Great Qin'. The country we came to is also the most powerful country in the world. This is your Where! ”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Gan Yu moved his finger down to where they were roughly now, then moved his finger back to the border city where they started, and continued: "We started from here and followed this route to reach you. ”
By the light of the fire, many local people looked at the map pointed by Gan Yu. Although they did not understand the language, they understood the meaning of Gan Yu's words. This outsider was talking about where they came from and where they came from. Here we are.
Once you see your own place, and then you see where the outsiders come from, why are the places where the outsiders come from so big, and why are they so small?
Since they have never established a country, the local people do not understand what a "country" is and think it is the same as their tribal territory. But with such a large tribe, how many villages and people are there?
Also, only such a large tribe can grow these tall and strong outsiders and possess treasures of that level.
The local people also noticed that there were other symbols on the map. They should also be tribes, but they were much smaller than the "Qin", as if they were defending "Qin" from all directions.
The Qin tribe occupied the center of the world and defended it from all directions. They were like the lords of the world. Compared with the Qin tribe, they were nothing.
The Qin tribe must be very powerful, so they sent envoys to all directions to spread the news of the Qin tribe's existence in heaven and earth.
Some local people had the idea of visiting the Qin tribe. If these outsiders could come, they would definitely be able to go.
Gan Yu said loudly: "Our Great Qin has been in this world for more than five hundred years. Our Great Qin has the most beautiful women in the world, the most skilled warriors, the most powerful generals, the smartest sages, and the greatest Majesty... ”
Even though he couldn't understand Gan Yu's words, he was talking about "most" multiple times, but he was definitely talking about something related to the Qin tribe. The look on his face also showed that this outsider was proud of the Qin tribe.
At the end, Gan Yu sang the war song of Qin loudly, and the impassioned ancient ballad resounded in this strange land:
How can I say that I have no clothes? Be in the same robe as your son. The king raised his army, repaired my sword and spear, and shared the same enemy with me! How can I say that I have no clothes? Tongze with Zi. The king has raised his army, repaired my spear and halberd, and worked with me together! How can I say that I have no clothes? He wears the same clothes as his son. The king raised his army, repaired my armor and soldiers, and went with me!
Other Qin people also sang along with Gan Yu, and the local people seemed to see a tall outsider appear before their eyes. They stood in formation, trusting each other's backs, and faced the powerful enemy together.
No enemy can shake it, no danger can destroy it. It is a very powerful tribe, standing in the center of the world, the best in the world!
Although they don’t often fight with others or fight, the local people can still feel the spirit and strong momentum sung by these outsiders. The Qin tribe is really powerful and powerful. If you have the chance, you must go to the Qin tribe to see it. Take a look.
This song "Qin Feng. Wu Yi" was the beginning. After Gan Yu, the local people also began to perform, singing their local songs and dancing. This simple bonfire banquet also reached its climax. .
The songs and dances are very ordinary, but this still surprised Gan Yu and others. These local people seem to live easier than the people of Da Qin...
But when training them, Mr. Li Nian once told them that due to the superior living environment and easy access to food and drink, the locals would be more relaxed and leisurely.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing. It will make them lose their vigilance, make them lazy, and lose the motivation to develop better and stronger.
While Gan Yu was enjoying songs and dances that were different from those of Da Qin, a local girl walked up to him. Gan Yu was not stupid, and he immediately guessed the girl's purpose: she probably wanted to invite him to dance!
However, these local people are too bold and open-minded. Her parents or brothers don't care? Anyway, he has never seen such a bold woman in Da Qin.
Gan Yu glanced at the local people from the corner of his eye and found that the local people were watching. Many of them were smiling. No one came out to stop him. It seemed that it was a common thing for them. Instead, they were expecting Gan Yu's reaction.
This girl could not be said to be very good-looking, and her appearance was not in Gan Yu's aesthetic point. She could only be said to be not ugly, with a thin body, a little dark skin, and big eyes.
After the girl walked in front of Gan Yu, she looked at Gan Yu with her big eyes, smiled at him, and then extended her right hand to invite Gan Yu.
