Chapter 308 Tarsus(2/2)
The servant general approached the prince's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, you have left them all in the new capital, the Sith."
Prince Toros said to the general manager angrily: "Then go outside to find it. How can there be no music at my banquet?"
The manager immediately arranged for someone to go out.
At this time, a servant leaned into Roger's ear and asked softly: "Sir, there are Kuftabozbash and Khash, which soup do you want?"
Roger whispered: "What kind of soup is it all? What's the specialty?"
The servant introduced: "Kuftabozbash is a large meatball, and peas and sheep bones are cooked in a delicious soup. Different types of ingredients and spices are added to the soup, and dried plums are added.
“Khash is our Armenian language, which means ‘cook’.
“It is to cook the beef legs over a slow heat for a few hours until the beef and tendon turn into a thick soup in a tumbling pot, and add a proper amount of garlic granules supplemented with a unique Armenian sausage.
“Cash is usually made in winter, so it is also known as: winter soup.
"What a coincidence, the chef just made it today."
Roger ordered Kash, someone in his deskmate ordered Kash, and someone else ordered Kufta Pozbash.
Before the banquet began, Prince Toros led everyone to make pre-dinner prayers.
At the end, he shouted "Amen" and drew a cross from left to right on his chest.
This is true for everyone here, and they drew crosses from left to right on their chests.
The servant quickly served everyone their own soup.
Prince Toros said happily:
“You are brothers who are truly Christian, just like us Armenians.
“The glory of Christ will shine on you and me at the same time.
"Come on, please don't be polite, enjoy this delicious food."
On behalf of everyone, Bosimmond thanked: "Your generosity and kindness are like a clear spring on arid land for those of us who have suffered from the journey."
Then he asked as a curious baby: "But I have something unknown. What is a brother who truly believes in Christianity? Are there any false believers here?"
Prince Toros urged the servants to pour wine for everyone.
He explained: "Who else can be there? Of course the Greeks who claim to be descendants of Rome.
"I won't say anything about the Roman pagans. Before they occupied this land, it was ruled by the Eastern Romans.
“The Greeks who claimed to have inherited Roman traditions have long forced our Armenian church to merge with them.
"But their set is wrong. The Greek priests who used fermented bread as holy bread often angrily criticized us Armenians for making holy bread with unfermented bread as heresy.
“It’s ridiculous that the Greeks even didn’t understand what day Jesus was on, but they asked us to celebrate Easter on the same day as them.
"And what is most unbearable is that they can't even draw the cross, they actually draw from right to left.
“We always draw crosses from left to right.
“These Greeks who held the false scriptures actually came to teach us.
"You know, we Armenians are all descendants of Noah, and the history of faith in Christ can be traced back to the moment the ark stopped at Mount Al's holy.
"And at that time, these Greeks were still worshiping the debaucherous and shameless false god Zeus."
Prince Toros spoke incessantly, and in a hurry tone, rebuked the Eastern Romans whom he despised as "Greek".
Then he changed his voice and said, "It's still brothers from the West, which is in line with the hearts of us Armenians.
“We share a common festival, eating the same holy bread, and drawing the same cross from left to right.
"You are our true Christian brothers."
The servant in charge of serving asked softly in Roger's ear:
"Sir, do you want dry red wine, dry white wine or oghi wine?"
Roger wondered why this person always gave him multiple-choice questions, and he asked: "What kind of wine is oghi wine?"
The servant who served replied softly:
“oghi wine is our traditional Armenian spirit, also known as Arak or aragh.
