Chapter 289: No Need to Make History in Such a Way (1 / 2)
Finally, who could have imagined this? My minister returned from overseas and even brought back some native people!
— This was probably what the old emperor was thinking at the moment.
But since they had traveled such a long way, Da Xia, as the host, naturally had to receive them properly.
“They eat stewed food, brew fruit wine, and have a preference for spicy flavors. Their common food includes wild animals, cassava, and fish.”
The name “cassava” was given by Xie Luoshui. It resembled a sweet potato, but its color was like wood, so she named it “cassava.”
The ship also brought back quite a lot of cassava.
The old emperor nodded. So, when the banquet began, most of the dishes on the table were stews, along with other cooking styles, but only in small portions to prevent the Paraguayans from experiencing discomfort due to unfamiliar food.
Upon learning that Paraguayans ate their meals while sitting on the ground, the emperor waved his hand and decided to host the banquet outdoors in the wilderness. Both the emperor and his officials dressed in casual attire, either sitting on mats or directly on the ground.
Throughout the banquet, the Paraguayans kept talking to Xie Luoshui, mixing their native language with Daxia’s official language, accompanied by hand gestures. Occasionally, they would point at the old emperor. The emperor, however, simply smiled and let it pass.
