The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas - Chapter 2684
Hot recommendation:
It’s a feast, a luxurious feast!
Louis XIV set off a “golden light” luxury wind in the court, and it blew this wind all over the land of France.
The tableware used by the king was made of gold, while the princes and nobles used gilded tableware.
Now Louis XIV uses gold chopsticks, yes, chopsticks, learned from the fashion of the East, the nobles also use chopsticks.
The king’s chief yelled: “Let’s share the meat given by the king!” Then he used a clarinet decorated with golden lilies (a symbol of the French royal family) to blow a few tones, announcing the official start of the dinner.
A formal palace evening banquet has 8 dining services, each time 30-40 different dishes are prepared to ensure the diversity of ingredients.
The order of serving always starts with the soup. It can be either vegetable soup or the old-fashioned soup cooked by Cantonese. The soup is clear and the main part of the food is soup instead of ingredients, and it can be paired with bread. Dip into the soup and eat.
By the way, Louis XIV was a huge appetite, eating 1.2 kilograms of bread every day!
The second course is vegetable stew. The meat can be beef and lamb with various vegetables freshly picked from the king’s vegetable garden. The king’s vegetable garden is in charge of Lacandi, the chief agronomist of the palace. He also developed a new asparagus cultivation method to ensure that Louis XIV could eat fresh asparagus throughout the year. And at that time, truffles were already on the table!
Then it was time to serve hard dishes, and the banquet really entered the climax. Beef, veal, and lamb can all be used as the protagonists of the third course, usually grilled, boiled in a thick soup, or made into meat fillings. If it is roasted meat, put oranges, lemons or olives in the middle of the meat to make the roasted meat more delicious, oily and not greasy.
The next small barbecue is mostly made of birds. The swans, cranes, and herons that were popular in the Middle Ages were replaced by pigeons, chickens, and ducks in the time of Louis XIV. The ducks for the king are raised in Rouen in northwestern France, and the chickens are raised in Le Mans. In order to make these poultry more meaty, some plant spices are added to the food when feeding.
After the dinner is finished, some seasonal fruits will be served, accompanied by an amazing number of desserts: candied fruits, jams, French fudge, ice cream and so on.
The banquet is very rich, so many dishes, have they finished eating?
of course not!
When the kings and nobles were banqueting, they thought about how to support the scene, rather than considering the actual needs.
Even if the king had a surprising amount of food, he could only taste each dish in turn. Then the remaining part is generally not wasted, they will be sent to the next table, the object is basically some small noble families, the kind that does not have a mine at home.
But no matter what, those who can attend the banquet are all decent people. It is impossible for them to lose face at their table. They are also full of food. If they can’t finish eating, they just say it to the little nobles?
But the little nobleman wants to save face. If you are a little nobleman and go to those banquets in Shanghai to eat Housse, then you will lose face. Others think that you are like a bird at home and don’t have enough money to eat.
So some little nobles filled their stomachs with bread for the sake of saving face, so as not to eat too much.
In this way, a lot of food was wasted and dumped!
The French aristocrats took it for granted, they are not afraid of bad things, they are afraid of comparison!
In the city of Rising Sun in South China, Viscount de Koscielny once attended the court banquet of the South China royal family. What happened to the banquet there?
CD action!
Can’t finish packing!
The diners who attend the banquet work hard to finish the food, pack it up if it is not finished, and eat it again when it comes back, even for the nobles.
At that time, Viscount de Koscielny was deeply moved when he saw the nobles packing there, looking very secular.
The South China Empire, Yan Changwu, hates wasting food. The CD-ROM operation and packaging he advocated has been thoroughly implemented in the two countries. The concept of cherishing food in the society is deeply rooted in the people.
The Emperor of Nanhua, whom Viscount de Koscielny knew, was not afraid to lose face, saying that the face of the royal family was his army and people’s livelihood!
More than just doing a show, Viscount de Koscielny learned that a large part of the assessment of South China officials lies in people’s livelihood, creating labor opportunities, encouraging people to work hard, and absolutely not letting people starve!
He personally knew a real person, a certain migrant worker fell sick from working in a foreign country, leaving his wife and five children who were still studying. As a result, Nanhua officials came to understand his family’s difficulties as soon as possible, and immediately opened The subsistence allowance guarantees the survival of the six members of his family. The five children are enrolled in school. From Monday to Saturday (six-day work system), their breakfast and lunch are covered by the school, and meals are free. There is no need to worry about dropping out of school. The tuition is covered by the state.
If I change to France, I still want to study. It is God blessed to survive, and the quality of life is very poor. Women may have become young JI early, and men may work hard, or be thief, and still want to study?
It is an ideal society in his mind to ensure tangibly and practically. Viscount de Koscielny was deeply moved and determined to bury the parasites on the French people~www.mtlnovel.com~ to establish a similar South China’s new society!
At the banquet, Viscount de Koscielny behaved decently.
At the ball afterwards, Viscount de Koscielny was personable.
He circulated between the nobles and the noble ladies, chatted with them, sometimes pleased the nobles, and sometimes put his heart to the nobles, and tried to learn all kinds of information from it.
Of course, his routines are also very skillful, and he doesn’t directly ask for intelligence. This is his training, which makes the “Falcon” personnel who monitor him closely can’t hear any problems.
…
The next day, Viscount de Koscielny got into the carriage and returned to his apartment in Paris, which was a mansion near the Seine.
There is a large study room in the mansion, full of books on all sides.
He used all kinds of books not only for viewing, but also for cover. There was no one in the study room. He pulled out a book from the shelf and read a certain word on a certain page and certain line. , Start to compile information, such as 051208, indicating the eighth word in the twelve lines on the fifth page of the book, and the rest can be deduced by analogy.
This is exactly the method of transmitting information taught to him by the South China Intelligence Agency. After receiving the information, the South China Intelligence Agency can read the word as long as it uses the same book and finds the page number.
There are a lot of articles to do in it, and the security is very high.
Even if someone intercepted this cryptographic information, first of all there are so many books on the market, who can know which book the spy used.
Moreover, the fifth page of this book is not necessarily the fifth page at the beginning, but the tenth page is counted down as the first page, and that is the fifteenth page.
This way, there is no way to find out, unless it is to pry open the mouth of Viscount de Koscielny.
Viscount de Koscielny made up the code, and roughly stated the situation of the enemy musket he had seen yesterday, and then he was ready to deliver it.
