【1215 Arabian Dinner】

Emperor Hua was a rare humor, and as he spoke, he actually clapped his face.

Wang Zhankui hurried in, "Your Majesty."

"Let the kitchen get a few Arabic dishes." Hua Huang said.

"Yes." Wang Zhankui asked for instructions: "Where to eat? Your Majesty."

"It's right here." President Meng replied.

"Okay." Wang Zhankui agreed and quickly went to make arrangements.

Yekazelina Krimova looked at Emperor Hua curiously, wondering why His Majesty suddenly wanted to eat Arabic food.

When several beautiful secretaries were preparing the dinner of Emperor Hua, the cute president decided to go to the hall to have dinner with everyone.

"I think it's more appropriate to go to the hall. This matter is related to the entire Chinese country. It's also good to hear the opinions of everyone." Hua Huang stood up, as if Yekazelina Krimova was an ordinary subordinate of him.

During the whole process, Emperor Hua had no intention of being intimate at all, which made Yekazelina Krimova, who was a little nervous, feel a little unwilling to accept it.

This is how women are. Before, she felt that His Majesty was better to her, but she never opened her heart. After all, she had little contact and had to be with a nine-year-old boy, normal-age girls will inevitably be nervous.

However, working in Central Asia Province, I worked with Emperor Hua for a while before, and now I have come to Emperor Hua for a small formation again, Yekazelina Krimova has completely opened up her heart, recognized Emperor Hua and recognized that she is His Majesty's woman.

At this time, Emperor Hua didn't say anything, which would naturally make Yekazelina Krimova a little unwilling.

This feeling is not only true of Yekazelina Krimova, but also of Zhao Qingluo. There are actually not many women in Hua Huang. Hua Huang is not as enthusiastic about women when she was just reborn. With Princess Katrina Kafu and Princess Jie, and Lee Tae-hee, the three women are actually enough to meet Hua Huang’s sexual needs.

In addition, he has been busy with Chinese diplomatic affairs during this period, how could Emperor Hua focus on these things?

The dishes in the Middle East are represented by Arabic dishes and have spread to other countries. Therefore, from the perspective of the entire Middle East, the taste of dishes is very similar. Even in one country, there will be no different dishes in different regions.

The most famous dishes in Arabic dishes include okra soaked in oil, green beans soaked in oil, tomatoes and European melons soaked in oil. It is not difficult to see from the dishes that Middle Eastern people like to use olive oil to cook food.

Because Lebanese cuisine advocates nature and health, Middle Eastern people not only use a lot of olive oil in their dishes, but also use fresh lemon juice and garlic as seasoning. Almost all dishes are cooked using this as the base.

When choosing cooking methods, Lebanon and even the entire Middle East like to cook with smokeless barbecue. They believe that this will not only taste the aroma of meat, but also will not cause excessive pollution to the environment.

Middle Eastern pocket bread is a specialty food in the Middle East. The ingredients are combined with the rice and flour cultures of the East and the West, and the unique local pancakes, so the choice of staple food is more diverse.

Moreover, all Middle Eastern diets are inseparable from rice, wheat, beans and mutton.

The growth of wheat originated in the Middle East and is most commonly used to make bread, as well as large cakes commonly found on Arab dining tables.

Middle Eastern sauce-style cold dishes are unique to the Middle East. When Huahuang first saw them, he thought they were foods such as tofu brain, but a simple taste was full of endless surprises.

Bean paste made of chickpeas, seasoned with sesame paste, salt and lemon juice, dripping fresh olive oil, stirring, it looks plain, but it makes people feel aftertaste and has a lingering fragrance.

In the Middle East, people also like to use pistachio as one of the ingredients for desserts, ice cream made with pistachio flavor, various desserts paired with pistachios, etc., and pistachios can be seen everywhere.

"Looking at the politics, culture, and economy of a place, first look at its culture." Hua Huang smiled slightly, "It is not realistic to quickly capture the colony. In the places where India has zero combat power, the British completely colonized India from the 18th century to the mid-19th century. Look at Portugal, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it took hundreds of years to colonize Macau. There is also Hong Kong. In the environment of the late Qing Dynasty, the attack of strong ships and powerful guns, Britain also took decades to colonize Hong Kong. Therefore, it was actually very difficult to acquire a colony in a very short time. It was difficult in the past. If we wanted to do it, it would be much better than direct colonization. The countries that were being built were sold and they would also count money! So, if we wanted to capture a colony steadily, it would take several generations of efforts."

"Your Majesty is saying." The person who spoke was Wu Tingfang who was on the visiting group.

The number of people who led the visiting group of Emperor Hua this time was not large. In addition to the more than 20 engineers from the Northern Heritage Institute brought by Xuan Yuewu, there were more than a dozen diplomats, including Wu Tingfang, who belonged to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in its own country is not as high as the ambassadors abroad. For example, Li Hongzhang is now fully responsible for Chinese diplomacy, which is equivalent to being a foreign minister. Europe is mainly led by Zeng Jize, and America is mainly led by Chen Lanbin.

Since China is an emerging country, it can slowly cultivate its own system in China, but in foreign affairs, it still uses some diplomatic officials left by the Qing court.

Wu Tingfang was born in Singapore on July 30, 1842, and later returned to Guangzhou with her father.

At the age of 13, he was kidnapped and then escaped and went to St. Paul's College in Hong Kong to study alone. He received six years of Western education. After 5 years, he graduated with excellent grades.

During his studies, he founded the first Chinese newspaper, "China Foreign News", with Huang Sheng, and assisted Chen Aiting in establishing the "Hong Kong Chinese Character Poster".

In 1862, he served as an interpreter of the Hong Kong High Court.

In 1864, she married Pastor He Jinshan's eldest daughter, Ms. He Qizhi's sister Miaoling.

In 1870, he was transferred from the High Court to serve as chief translator of the Board of Administration.

In 1874, he studied in the UK at his own expense and entered London College to study law. After Sman, he obtained the bar qualification.

He returned to Hong Kong in February 1877 and was the first Chinese lawyer to be allowed to open in the British colony. He was also elected as an examination committee member by the Hong Kong government.

Li Hongzhang felt the shortage of foreign diplomatic talents. On October 6, 1877, Tianjin Customs Bureau Li Zhaotang introduced Wu Tingfang to Li Hongzhang. After a quick inquiry, Li Hongzhang found that Wu Tingfang was a talent that he had not obtained for several years. He immediately decided to extend it to the shogunate so that he could "invest difficult cases to debate with foreigners. Anyone who disobeyed Chinese laws and regulations would be punished with Western laws, which is the so-called "stimulating the shield of the other person with the other person."

He was familiar with foreign affairs, so Li Hongzhang recommended Wu Tingfang to Emperor Hua.

In the original history, he was also a diplomatic figure. Tang Shaoyi, who was more familiar to Emperor Hua, is still an international student who went to the United States. Gu Weijun, a well-known later generation, has not been born yet.

In fact, Emperor Hua was not very particular about diplomatic personnel, he had a little knowledge and had a clear mind. Later generations liked to talk about this as a traitor and that as a traitor, but there was a prerequisite, in the context of the Qing Dynasty! Now it is the background of China.

"Afghanistan is an inland country at the northwest end of South Asia. It is connected to the South Asian subcontinent in the southeast and can go to the Indian Ocean; it is adjacent to Central Asia and West Asia in the northwest and can reach the Mediterranean Sea. Four-fifths of the country's area are mountains and plateaus. The Hindu Kush Mountains with an average altitude of more than 3,500 meters across the territory is a major obstacle between Central Asia and South Asia. Afghanistan's special geographical location and terrain make it a key transportation rush between South Asia and Central Asia and West Asia, and has always been a place that military strategists must fight for." Emperor Hua glanced at Wu Tingfang, turned the topic to the main topic, and asked everyone to have dinner together, just to talk about the matter of Ashgabat, the Central Asian Province, as the first municipality outside the country's mainland, and to intervene in the Middle East and prepare for the plans of Emperor Hua's Middle East Federal Organization.

Since the early 19th century, British colonists have pointed their aggression at Afghanistan in order to establish a sphere of influence from North Africa to India.

The ambitious Tsarist Russia also coveted Afghanistan for its trip south to the Indian Ocean and seized the estuary of the warm ocean. Tsarist Russia, which went south, and Britain, which was moving north, was constantly in conflict with Afghanistan, and Afghanistan became the main target of the British and Russian competition.
