Zhang Ran naturally saw Huo Qubing's apologetic remediation behavior. Seeing that the other party seemed to be really not intentional, Zhang Ran's expression slowly calmed down and returned to the delicacies in front of him, and no longer cared about Huo Qubing's slightly rude behavior just now.

Listening to Huo Qubing's explanation as if he were familiar to him, Zhang Ran was sure that this girl was also a complete foodie. She was able to deliver all the advantages and disadvantages of all the meals on the table in one breath. It was obvious that Huo Qubing had eaten all these dishes, and it was definitely more than once.

When Huo Qubing finished introducing all the food on the table, Zhang Ran, who had already "drooled", immediately picked up a knife and couldn't wait to insert a piece of cooked beef from the cauldron, put it into his own copper plate, and quickly cut a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Um~, it smells so good!"

After chewing it gently for a few times, Zhang Ran was surprised to find that Huo Qubing was right. The beef in this tripod was indeed rich in meat, tender in taste, and very delicious, making people unable to help but eat it.

"It's really delicious!" Zhang Ran sighed with satisfaction after swallowing the beef on the plate into his stomach in his stomach with a bit of mouthfulness, and then turned to Huo Qubing with curiosity, "Huo Xiaolang, as far as I know, the court has a clear rule that it is not allowed to eat beef casually?"

"Haha..." Huo Qubing smiled and then explained to Zhang Ran: "The court has this law. However, the court only stipulates that no slaughter of plowing oxen is allowed, but it did not say that no slaughter of herding cows is allowed!"

Then, Huo Qubing pointed to the beef in the small tripod and smiled at Zhang Ran, "The beef in this tripod is taken from the meat of cattle. It is one of the spoils my uncle took from the Huns. It is not the kind of yellow beef you mentioned, so it's okay to eat it! Xiaolang, but you can enjoy it with confidence!"

"Oh oh" After hearing Huo Qubing's explanation, Zhang Ran immediately realized that eating beef is illegal. Although this is true, it is only limited to plowing oxen, and ordinary cattle herding is not listed here.

The reason why protecting plowing oxen has become the basic national policy of all dynasties is that plowing oxen plays an extremely important role in agricultural production and life, can help farmers cultivate land, and is one of the most important sources of animal power, so it must be cherished.

The cattle herding is irritable and wild, and cannot be used to plow the fields. The only function is probably only for producing milk and meat. Therefore, the current law does not have any provisions to protect cattle herding.

What's more, most of the beef eaten by Zhang Ran and the others now are the spoils of Wei Qing after the Battle of Henan. Naturally, Wei Qing has the final say in how to deal with it, and others have no control at all.

"However, I remember that if the cattle were wearing a nose ring and a chewy body, after training, it seemed that they could also plow the fields?"

Zhang Ran has only heard of some of the things that herding cattle can be used to plow the fields, but has not seen them with his own eyes... Therefore, Zhang Ran is not very clear about how to operate this matter.

"Well..., I should give it a try if I have a chance! If it really works, it wouldn't be too late to talk to Wei Qing or the emperor at that time!"

Zhang Ran knew very well that if he wanted to do this method, he had to try it first, otherwise no one would believe it, let alone explain it.

What's more, now he is in a banquet, and it is not the time to talk about such things. Therefore, Zhang Ran temporarily pressed his mind and did not rashly throw out his own point of view.

After Zhang Ran finished eating the beef on the plate, Huo Qubing said enthusiastically to Zhang Ran: "Xiaolang, come and try this plate of roasted venison again... Let me tell you, this venison is very delicious, and it is only the beef. Especially after this tender venison is roasted with charcoal fire, its taste is even more unique!"

"Okay..." Hearing Huo Qubing's words, Zhang Ran confessed to the air, quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of venison from the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He suddenly felt that the venison was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tasted very good.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?"

"Well, it's burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and juicy, and the taste is very beautiful!"

"Come on, try this bear paw again..."

...

At the warm invitation of Huo Qubing, Zhang Ran tasted the delicious food on the table one by one and evaluated them separately.

I have to say that although the current cooking techniques are a little simpler, the ingredients are very fresh and mostly rare treasures. In addition, the Weifu kitchen skills are also very good, and the food produced is also very good.

Therefore, Zhang Ran's evaluation of these foods was also very good, which made Huo Qubing, who was standing by, also very happy. At the same time, he couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks, knife and fork again, and fucked the big flower quickly.

...

"Delicious delicacies are arranged and eaten with cauldrons, and the sound of the chirping of silk and bamboo bells is accompanied by..."

The "simple" level of this banquet made Zhang Ran amazed. At the same time, it also made Zhang Ran feel very novel about it and couldn't help but want to try it immediately and taste this "boring" taste.

So, Zhang Ran also imitated the other three people, while admiring the graceful dance of the dancers in the hall, holding a knife, slowly cutting the tender and juicy pieces of meat, and then slowly stuffing them into his mouth and chewing them carefully to taste them.

Of course, Zhang Ran had to interact with the other three people during the banquet, chatting and laughing, and raising his glasses to drink fine wine together.

While drinking, a cup of wine was eaten, and a plate of rare delicacies were filled with delicious food... The pleasant and wonderful taste made Zhang Ran unable to help but indulge in it.

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours. When the banquet was halfway through, Zhang Ran was already drunk as everyone took turns to persuade him to drink.

But despite this, everyone still did not let him go, especially Huo Qubing, who was active in nature. During the meal, he advised Zhang Ran to drink many times. While singing and dancing were temporarily resting, Huo Qubing was still excited to pull Zhang Ran and play the game of throwing pots.

The so-called throwing pot is a ritual of archery that originated from the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, one of the etiquettes of princes when they were banqueting guests was to invite guests to shoot arrows. At that time, adult men did not know how to shoot arrows were considered as a shame. The host asked guests to shoot arrows, and the guests could not refuse.

However, later, some guests did not know how to shoot arrows, so some people invented it to use arrows to throw wine pots instead. Over time, throwing the pots to replace archery, becoming a game during banquets.

When the ceremony of throwing the pot is held, both the guest and the host take turns throwing the arrows into the pot with no arrows. Each person has four arrows. The one who hits the pot is the winner, and the loser drinks as punishment.

After the Han Dynasty, the casting pot was popular among the scholar-official class. Whenever there was a banquet, there was a program of "Song of the casting pot" to help you entertain the fun.

Moreover, not only the scholars and officials like to throw pots, but even the powerful and even the emperors liked this game very much.

For example, the emperor Liu Che had a man who was good at throwing pots, and could "more than a hundred arrows and rebellion". Every time during this banquet, Liu Che would let him throw his throwing pots and have fun. If he could defeat it, he would give him gold and silk.
