After the First Emperor finished reading the funeral rites, the eunuchs beside him immediately carried the three prisons that were used to sacrifice to the High Heavens up and filled them with cauldrons.
The so-called three prisons.
They were cows, sheep, and pigs.
This was the sacrifice offered to the heavens.
Led by Ying Zheng, the officials held a grand ceremony of worship, and then began to leave the hall solemnly.
Ying Che wasn't very interested in this large-scale Spring Festival.
He was an atheist.
However, Ying Che was very impressed with the way the offerings were handled.
It was not wasted.
These offerings would be distributed to the conscripts who participated in the sacrifice or the surrounding commoners after the end of the ceremony.
Of course, eating meat cost money.
Great Qin severely punished people who did not work for anything.
Even though it seemed quite inhumane, Great Qin's residents had always held fast to it.
No effort, no gain!
Moreover, the cattle, sheep, and pigs that were sacrificed every time were the best sacrifices. Moreover, these were sacrifices to the heavens. If they were eaten, it could be said that they were blessed. Therefore, there were still many people who were willing to spend money to buy them.
After the grand ceremony, Ying Zheng brought all the officials to Xianyang Palace.
Tonight.
There would be a banquet here.
The purpose was to enjoy the happiness of heaven, earth, and the people!
Ying Che sat in his seat and looked at the food on the table. He had no appetite at all.
Too dull!
There were two cauldrons in front of him.
One cauldron was filled with beef, and the other cauldron was filled with mutton. They were all very fat and oily, and they had already been cooked until they were soft.
There was also a bronze knife and fork in front of him.
Yes, it was.
You didn't see wrongly.
The Qin Dynasty used knives and forks.
In this era, there were no stir-fried dishes, only stewed meat. Meat was not something that ordinary families could eat. When eating meat, they would directly stew the meat in a pot until it was completely rotten, and then use a knife and fork to cut it into sauces to eat.
This sauce was not the seasoning of the future.
It was just some meat paste mixed with refined salt.
There were also a few pieces of naang on the table. He cut them with a knife and stuffed the meat into them. He ate them in big mouthfuls, and the gravy flowed out. This was also a way of eating.
Even though the food and sauce were the best in Great Qin, in Ying Che's eyes, they tasted like wax and were no different from eating them raw.
He found it hard to swallow.
The hall was filled with a thick smell of grease.
As the First Emperor spoke, all the officials also picked up their knives and forks and began to eat heartily.
This kind of situation where they ate and drank in large mouthfuls was rare even for them.
Ying Che did not eat it.
He sat quietly and observed his surroundings.
After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly took out a packet of seasoning from his sleeve.
This was something he had brought on purpose.
He secretly opened the seasoning bag and spread it in front of him. Then, he cut a small piece of beef and dipped it in it.
The taste was great!
As he ate, he sighed to himself.
Sigh.
He really envied these ministers.
How could he eat such a bland and colorless diet?
Unlike me.
Without the seasoning pack, it was difficult to swallow.
Thinking about it this way…
It's a good thing that Qin Shi Huang sent me to Mount Li.
Otherwise, how would I have the opportunity to make these rich and fragrant condiments?
Eating meat without chili powder, pepper powder, cumin powder, fennel powder, and cassia powder was soulless.
Mmm, it smells so good!
Fortunately, I was smart and prepared the dipping sauce in advance. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to eat at this banquet.
Such a primitive taste of meat was really a bit of a snub.
Ying Che was telling the truth.
The mutton hadn't been processed, so it had a fishy smell.
To the officials of Great Qin who were used to this kind of food, it was not a big deal. However, to Ying Che, who was used to eating small meals, he could not accept it.
He couldn't swallow a mouthful.
He had to dip it in these heavy seasonings before he could eat it.
Fortunately…
He was already mentally prepared.
Before he came to Xianyang, he had prepared a lot of seasoning packets for himself in advance to deal with this kind of difficult to swallow situation. Now it came in handy.
With the seasoning bag, Ying Che cut the meat faster.
However, Ying Che would never have thought that his every move, every word, and every action would fall into the eyes and ears of someone in the hall.
Ying Zheng did not pay attention to Ying Che at first.
He also had no appetite.
This banquet was a sumptuous feast for others, but for him, it was just an ordinary banquet.
He was already sick of eating it!
After a few symbolic bites, she stopped eating.
As an emperor, it was normal for him to inspect his officials.
He looked around and found that Ying Che had no appetite, just like him.
Ying Che didn't even take a bite.
Then, he saw Ying Che take out a bulging bag from his sleeve. He observed it while complaining in his heart.
He heard Ying Che's inner thoughts.
She also knew what Ying Che had taken out.
Seasoning bag!
He didn't know what the seasoning packet was, nor did he know what the 'chili powder, pepper powder, cumin, licorice, fennel powder, and cassia powder' that Ying Che was talking about were.
But he could see it.
He had seen with his own eyes that Ying Che had dipped his mouth in the seasoning packet from the very beginning when he did not eat a single bite to the end when he started eating heartily.
This was good stuff!
It could appease the appetite!
Ying Zheng only had one thought about such a good thing.
Oh, oh, it was all oh!
Please give me some fresh flowers and evaluation votes!
