Chapter 475 Hebrew
"Welcome to Israel, respected Mr. Hou." The old man was not the one who received him. What Hou Dasheng saw now was an old man wearing a white robe, wearing a black round hat, and wearing a small black square tied on his forehead. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a kind face, looking at least 70 years old.
The old man's eyes were a little turbid, which was the trace left by time. But behind those turbidities were calm and kind. This was also the wisdom left by the old man after the years. But the old man walked up to Hou Dasheng and held his hand: "May the Lord be with you, Hebrew friend."
"I am Old Cohen, your friend. Although it was our first time meeting directly, we have actually been dating for a long time." Old Cohen held Hou Dasheng's hand and smiled: "Zion, and the board seats on the service provider. I am basically responsible for it."
Hou Dasheng couldn't help but feel a stern when he heard this. Although he seemed to have heard this voice at the service provider's meeting, Hou Dasheng was not sure. The old man in front of him was the owner of the voice. He seemed to see Hou Dasheng's doubts. Old Cohen smiled and said, "Oh~ In fact, it was not me who attended the meeting. I just made some directional suggestions, which were decided by the participants."
"After all, I'm old, and people need to know what they can do and no longer suit what they do. So I'm just an old administrator now, managing some trivial things and then receiving some old friends." Old Cohen smiled and walked past a door.
This is a station, but it is built in a cave. There are not many people on the platform, only some men in black robes and small black round hats standing silently. But Hou Dasheng could clearly feel that the seemingly peaceful station here is hidden in various dangers.
The moment he got out of the car, at least twenty gazes silently locked him. This feeling made Hou Dasheng's muscles tight, which was a subconscious reaction. The old man shook hands with Hou Dasheng was the strongest time.
Hou Dasheng didn't say anything because he was making himself adapt to this feeling. Otherwise, he would be afraid that he would suddenly hurt others. When the old man spoke, his eyes were no longer so aggressive. They seemed to restrain their hostility, which made Hou Dasheng relax.
The station was not big, and after the train entered, someone began to busy driving the train out. At the same time, the railway tracks sank "KaKa...". The station soon returned to a piece of brick and stone floor. The station that had restored the brick and stone floor now looked more like a warehouse.
"This place will only be used when we receive VIPs." Old Cohen held Hou Dasheng's hand and said in a whisper: "Oh~ It also has another purpose: when we encounter irresistible danger, we will take us and everything here to evacuate."
While speaking, two men in black robes had already pushed open the wooden door next to them silently. But the sound of "kkka..." sounded, and the wooden door opened. Hou Dasheng saw the wide hall behind the door. This seemed to be a leisure hall.
But there were not many people. The decoration here was not very gorgeous, but on the contrary, it was full of medieval simplicity. Simple log tables, simple log chairs, and candle lamps hung on the roof. The hall was very bright, and old Cohen pointed at Hou Dashengxu.
Then he took Hou Dasheng to the spiral staircase next to the front desk on the side of the door. This setting is obviously very medieval. Even today, this design can still be seen in old-fashioned office buildings in many European countries.
The long slope-style ladder directly led to the second floor. But Hou Dasheng and the others did not walk up the spiral ladder, but slowly walked towards another door under the guidance of old Cohen. Then a man in black walked forward, opened the door opposite when they walked to the spiral ladder and bowed to stand in front of the door.
Behind the door was a large restaurant. It was now filled with various Hebrew specialties, including hummus, shawarma, salad sandwich... etc. Hou Dasheng breathed out, but fortunately he was very interested in this nation a long time ago.
So I have also learned it specifically, otherwise it would be rude this time. Etiquette and law are shameless when you go to other people's homes to ask others to obey you. But it is the most basic respect to go to other people's homes to be guests and follow other people's etiquette and law.
The Hebrews had a dietary precept called the "Kashrut Law". Part of this rule is in common with the kindness and compassion advocated by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China. This rule initially required the Hebrews to have compassion for animals and not be indifferent to the pain of poultry and livestock being slaughtered, so there are regulations on slaughtering, bloodletting, and eating meat and milk with meals.
In the law, food is divided into two categories: "kosher" and "non-kosher". Only "kosher" can be eaten, while "unclean food" is prohibited. According to the kosher rules, grains, vegetables and fruits are all "kosher", while meat, poultry and aquatic products such as livestock are not the same.
Among livestock and other meats, the meat of fresh, live and ruminants, that is, fresh beef, lamb and venison, is "kosher" and can be eaten; while the meat of animals such as pigs, horses, camels, rock raccoons, rabbits is "non-kosher" and fasted. Among poultry foods, poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese are "kosher" and can be eaten.
Birds of prey that eat carnivorous and scavenging, as well as birds, ducks, ducks, geese, and other aquatic birds that are not sanitary and cannot be eaten. Aquatic products, all fish with wings and scales, can be eaten. However, aquatic animals without fins, scales, bones and crusts, such as eels, catfish, shellfish and other aquatic products are not edible.
In addition, they also have other classics or etiquette rules, including slaughtering, storage and dining table etiquette. After asking Hou Dasheng to sit down, Old Cohen smiled and said, "I heard that you like wine, so we prepared some. But I can't drink with you, so I can only let some of my other colleagues come and drink with you."
Speaking of this, we have to mention the Hebrews' views on wine. They did not mean that they would prohibit alcohol, but leaders or as sects do not drink alcohol. They believe that this is first of all indecent, and secondly, as sects themselves, drinking alcohol, which encourages believers to drink and indulge. This is not advisable.
Therefore, most of them did not drink alcohol. But they did not prohibit others from drinking. There were two basic Hebrew drinks in ancient times: wine and water. For them, it was another drink. But they would distinguish them. Generally speaking, they were only adults and children were not allowed to drink alcohol.
Even if you are an adult, you will only drink light wine on weekdays. You will have a lot of guests, or you will drink some strong wine only on the celebration day. But you also follow the appropriate amount advocated by the sect. Do not drink it.
"I am not a person who is addicted to alcohol, and now my body does not allow me to drink too much wine." Hou Dasheng said with a smile: "What's more, we have to talk about something later. It's not easy to drink."
