"Idiot! Japanese little brat, do you think I'm afraid of you? Just a gladiatorial fight..." The big-headed Russian envoy was about to jump out as he spoke, but at this moment, Montauban next to him stepped on him hard. .
Looking at Montauban's murderous gaze, Ivan suddenly became much smarter, and he suddenly remembered the top-secret information from the Moscow Military Department.
Intelligence coming from the east recorded such an army, small but strong, even more cold-resistant than some Russians.
These people do not pay attention to food and clothing, and can even feed on raw meat. They are extremely tough and can withstand hard battles.
Obedience to orders is definitely an innate talent. If the Chinese new army relies on the discipline gained from hard training and worship of the head of state, then these short soldiers rely on the discipline passed down through their blood. The discipline gene is at war.
These soldiers even have the right to wear swords. Among Chinese soldiers, only officers above the company commander have the right to wear swords. All hand-to-hand combat is done with bayonets and engineer shovels.
Only these soldiers use a unique weapon called tachi in hand-to-hand combat!
They are a unique army within the Chinese ethnic group, the Foreign Legion! There is also a more down-to-earth name, Ba Dao Team!
As soon as Ivan saw Hyoutaro's appearance, he knew that he was in trouble. This guy must be the leader of the Bato team and a natural expert in hand-to-hand combat. I'm afraid it would be impossible to fight with him. Even fighting with a pistol would be very dangerous.
Well, after thinking about it, Xiao Letian, the pretty boy, is easier to bully.
"Who are you? You are not qualified to fight with me. I only recognize Xiao Letian..."
"Baga! Xiao Letian is my father. If you want to challenge my father, you have to pass me first..."
The two people started to quarrel across two tables. The guests present had never seen such a heated state banquet. Their expressions in their eyes were extremely strange and even a little excited.
At this moment, Xiao Letian suddenly coughed softly. As if a mechanism in his body had been touched, Hyotyro turned pale and turned his head to bow deeply to Xiao Letian. He did not dare to meet his father's eyes, and then He sat back on the chair obediently.
Xiao Letian said apologetically to the queen, "I'm really sorry for making you laugh. This adopted son of mine has had a wild personality since he was a child and has never received a noble education. I apologize to you on his behalf..."
The Queen had never seen anything like this before. She just nodded and glanced at Ivan and Montauban. The two troublemakers on the opposite side suddenly did not dare to say anything.
Prince Edward quickly stood up to smooth things over and toasted everyone a glass of wine. Under his vigilant gaze, Montauban and Ivan reluctantly sat back down.
But before he sat down, Montauban said in a low voice, "You have to give us an explanation. You just want to fool us with this kind of food..."
Xiao Letian suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Your Majesty the Queen, I really want to give you an explanation... Maybe I underestimated the differences between Eastern and Western food cultures, which caused this unnecessary misunderstanding..."
"Let me first explain to the Queen the dish in front of me. We Chinese call it Crab Stuffed Orange. Translated into English, it probably means a process of using oranges as containers and wine to brew crab meat..."
"This is a famous dish passed down from the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 900 years!"
With a bang, there was a low noise in the hall. This is really an ancient country with endless civilization. Every dish has a history of thousands of years. Everyone present was stunned.
Xiao Letian brought the crab-stuffed orange that had been placed on the disk in front of the queen, and gently opened the lid to reveal the light yellow and fragrant meat soup inside.
"Your Majesty, before anyone told you the ingredients of this food, how did you feel when you looked at it?"
"Oh... delicious, with a unique aroma that I have never experienced before. I really want to taste it... but is it really made from river crabs?"
"Haha, look, if everyone reminds you, I think you have tasted such a delicious food at this moment, I can answer you very responsibly, this is made of delicious river crabs..."
"River crabs are not the kind of small things produced in European rivers, but a unique crab species from the Jiangnan region of China, called hairy crabs. The taste and appearance are much better than European crabs..."
"This time we specially raised a batch of crabs in the fresh water tank of the cargo ship and shipped them to Europe. I think after everyone here has tasted the deliciousness of this ingredient, these crabs will definitely be farmed!"
"Crab-stuffed oranges! You need to choose oranges that are ripe and large, cut off the tops, remove the flesh, leave a little juice, fill the oranges with crab meat, still cover them with the tops with branches, and put them in the steamer. Steam it with wine, vinegar and water. Dip it with vinegar and salt, it will be fragrant and fresh."
"What are you worried about? Europeans are unwilling to eat river crabs. In fact, the key reason is that the crabs are too small and difficult to remove the meat. In addition, they have an earthy smell and taste bad. If our national chefs Can these two problems be solved?"
"Dear Queen, there is a proverb in China that the first person to eat crab must be a warrior! Are you ready to taste the delicious food now?"
The shining silver spoon was handed over, Xiao Letian's expression was extremely sincere, and the Queen couldn't refuse at this moment. She had to take the spoon from Xiao Letian and looked at the big orange in front of her hesitantly.
Everyone present was looking at the queen, especially Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian who looked at her with encouraging eyes, which made the grandmother of the European royal family very embarrassed.
Emperor Tongzhi whispered, "Your Majesty, please believe me, you really should try it!"
Well, the Queen was forced to do this, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and try. The silver spoon scooped up half a tablespoon of the mixture of crab roe and crab paste, and the Queen stuffed it in as soon as she closed her eyes.
boom! At that moment, the queen suddenly felt that countless taste buds on her tongue were exploding, and a unique taste suddenly occupied all her senses.
Fresh, fragrant, sweet, soft, glutinous...the distinct flavors blended together in her mouth. The crab-stuffed orange was so smooth that she almost swallowed it with her tongue.
The queen closed her eyes and had endless recollections. At that moment, she even wanted to eat all the crab-stuffed oranges on the table, all by herself.
At this time, even a fool could understand the Queen's expression. Prince Edward beside him brought a plate of crab-stuffed oranges without the help of the maid.
A mouthful of delicious food actually caused him to scream happily, "Oh my God! What kind of taste is this? Is everything I've eaten for so many years just rubbish?"
This was a sensation. All the guests present were rude and took it upon themselves to open the lid on the top of the orange. The spoon quickly ate up the small portion of crab meat.
"Oh! My God..." Some guests' eyes turned red with excitement. "What can I do? Once these Chinese guests leave Europe, will I never be able to enjoy such delicious food in my life?"
"God! Why do you punish us like this? I won't be able to eat such delicious food in the future. How miserable the rest of my life will be!"
