According to the traditional customs of the Chinese people, how can you not have a good meal when entertaining guests?

No one has hired this alien guest, but there is a plan for how to entertain Xinghe.

So Gao Yuan wants to attend a state banquet, a state banquet, a state banquet!

How much Chinese people respect you depends on how exquisite your food is, because it represents the etiquette and self-confidence of an ancient civilized country.

Of course, the conditions cannot be compared with before, the dining environment cannot be compared with before, and the food cannot be compared with before, even if this is a state banquet hosted at the highest level of a country.

There aren't many new things.

However, just by looking at the menu, Gao Yuan knew that he was in for a treat today.

The soup is matsutake mushroom soup.

The cold dishes are rich beef and fragrant bean sprouts.

Hot dishes include braised lion's head, roast duck, braised sea cucumber with green onions, and chestnuts and rapeseed.

Dessert is Rock Sugar Tremella Lotus Seed Soup.

There are also snacks.

The menu looks ordinary, right?

But don't forget that this is the end, the end!

There were two large round tables, and basically everyone present was seated at the table. As for Gao Yuan, of course he was sitting next to Xinghe.

"These are chopsticks."

"Isn't it chopsticks?"

"Well, it was called chopsticks in ancient times and chopsticks commonly known as chopsticks. If you can't use chopsticks, you can use a knife and fork. This is simple."

Xinghe looked at the dishes placed in front of him. Since it was a state banquet, the meal sharing system was adopted, that is, one portion per person, and the dishes were served one by one.

Eating is just a ritual.

The first dish was soup. The aroma was fragrant. Gao Yuan picked up the spoon and took a sip. Then he found that the taste was indeed good, but it seemed a bit too bland.

"What's this?"

"Fungi, mushroom, do you know what it means?"

"I know."

After asking Gao Yuan, Xinghe took a sip from the spoon. Then he frowned. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said: "Eating feels weird, but I need to get used to it."

After saying that, Xinghe finished his soup, and after he finished the soup, the waiter immediately removed the soup and served cold dishes.

"What's this?"

"This is beef."

"Meat, beef, um..."

Xinghe frowned. Li Wen sat across from him. When he noticed that something was wrong with Xinghe's expression, he immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong? Can't you eat meat?"

Xinghe frowned and said: "We have not killed other living beings for food a long time ago. In our opinion, this is cruel and unnecessary."

Li Wen immediately said: "Remove the meat and replace everything with vegetarian food."

Who knows how to entertain this alien, so everything has to be fumbled. Li Wen personally asked about this menu. Now he is just glad that he has two hands to prepare it, and he can still cope with the vegetarian dishes.

Come down.

The waiter was about to come up and take away the cold dishes, but Gao Yuan said urgently: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Isn’t it a joke for Gao Yuan to finally have a state banquet and eat a vegetarian meal?

"I think you should give it a try. You see, your home planet has been destroyed, right? Your civilization has also... Anyway, that's the situation. I think you should try different civilizations, such as our food civilization.

.”

Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's just treat it as an exchange between civilizations."

Xinghe picked up a piece of beef with his fork and put it in his mouth.

Even the advanced aliens couldn't eat anymore. Xinghe's eating movements seemed unfamiliar, but soon, Xinghe speeded up his chewing.

The two pieces of beef were quickly eaten by Xinghe, and then he remained silent.

"Is it delicious? Is it okay?"

Xinghe remained silent, as if he didn't hear Gao Yuan's words.

The next cold dish came. Xinghe took a bite of fresh vegetables, which are very precious in the apocalypse, and then he immediately said: "I don't need this, please give me another portion of the beef just now, thank you."

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Li Wen looked at Xinghe in surprise, and then Gao Yuan quickly said: "No, no, that's just an appetizer, the delicious ones are at the back."

Xinghe picked up the fork with his right hand, but he quickly put it down and picked up the chopsticks like Gao Yuan did.

Hot dishes arrived, braised lion head.

Xinghe picked up a piece with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then he quietly stuffed the whole big meatball into his mouth.

Putting down his chopsticks, Xinghe looked at Gao Yuan.

"What's this?"

"pork."

"Any more?"

Gao Yuan looked at the waiter behind him.

The waiter immediately served the sea cucumber with green onion.

Xinghe took a bite and frowned, but he still ate the whole sea cucumber.

Xinghe didn't ask, which meant that he wasn't very interested in this dish.

The third dish was roast duck, which was wrapped and served directly, with only one roll. Xinghe imitated Gao Yuan and put the roast duck roll in his mouth, then he nodded slightly and said: "What is this?

"

"Duck."

"Oh, the perfect combination of duck and wheat flour, is there anything else?"

The chestnuts and rapeseed came up, Xinghe took a bite, and then put his chopsticks aside.

After a moment of silence, Xinghe looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Where's the next dish?"

Gao Yuan immediately looked at the waiter, who immediately took down the rapeseed that he had only eaten one bite, and then served a dish of rock sugar, white fungus, and lotus seed soup.

After Xinghe finished drinking, he looked very satisfied, and then he looked at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan looked at the waiter, who brought the snacks.

Xinghe finished his snack, and then he continued to look at Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan was helpless. He was too embarrassed to say anything in this situation, so he looked at Li Wen.

Li Wen immediately said to the waiter: "Continue serving our guests."

This time Xinghe was not polite, he immediately said: "I want beef, pork, and duck."

After finishing speaking, Xinghe suddenly looked a little weird. He looked at Gao Yuan and said, "According to your ancient etiquette, you shouldn't talk while eating. Also, is it rude for me to eat like this?"

"You said it was an ancient gift. Now we can talk. Also, the more you eat, the happier we will be. Really."

Xinghe nodded, and then he said with a serious face: "I now have a new understanding of the meaning of life, a new understanding of animals, and a new understanding of the way to care for animals."

As he spoke, Xinghe suddenly raised his head, and then he seemed to be sobbing a little and said: "What have I missed..."

Gao Yuan said sadly: "I think so. If you don't eat anything in your long life, then... what's the point of living? No wonder some people go crazy. If it were me, I would have gone crazy."

Li Wen frowned and shook his head gently at Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan immediately realized his gaffe and gaffe, so he immediately said to Xinghe: "I'm sorry..."
