Chapter 198: Perfunctory
But she didn't have anything, but regained her expressionlessness, lowered her eyes, and when she looked at Qin Xiu again, her eyes had returned to her scythe, and said, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Qin Xiu nodded, followed her and walked towards the palace where the banquet was held, the Taihe Palace.
"General Lan......"
And the surrounding dignitaries and nobles were smiling and bringing their families to the two of them.
Surrounded by these people, the two had to pause and greet these people, but Qin Xiu didn't say much, even if it was only a few "um" "um" and "oh" perfunctory, giving people a very cold feeling, plus his expressionless appearance from beginning to end left people with a feeling of "this person is not easy to get along with".
Mu Hualan was better, although she also had an expressionless face, but at least it was not as perfunctory as it was.
Xu felt that there was no point in going down like this, Mu Hualan said: "The banquet is about to start, let's go in quickly." ”
That's it, what is the pestle doing here! Qin Xiu rolled his eyes in his heart, the purpose of his coming to the palace banquet this time was nothing else, he just wanted to come to see the so-called royal banquet, so he was not here to listen to these people selling their sons.
In Qin Xiu's original world, there were many kinds of food, and there were many well-known delicacies, among them, the Manchu and Han banquets were well-known and famous.
This is why he so readily agreed to participate in the banquet, in the previous world, Qin Xiu did not have the opportunity to eat the full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, nor did he have the financial ability to eat, but now that he has come to this world, the opportunity is handed to him, how can he refuse.
He didn't want to see the refinement of Chinese cuisine in this world, the Manchu and Han banquets, but only to see what the royal banquets in this world were like.
And these people surrounded and blocked their way, if there was something important, it would be okay, but it was all some nonsense that was completely unnutritious in Qin Xiu's opinion, one was to say hello, and after greeting and greeting without a word, he began to introduce his son, and then it was a tactful "General Lan, my family XX has always admired General Lan, and has always hoped to follow in your footsteps to follow you into battle to kill the enemy, I heard that General Lan is the Bole of the horse, and the minister just got a horse recently, I don't know if General Lan is interested in taking a look?" General Lan, the dog is young, and I bother you to take care of it in the barracks......" "General Lan, look at my XXX......" and so on.
These words were automatically translated into Qin Xiu's ears, they wanted their children to enter the army to earn military merits, but they were afraid that it would be bad if the sword was blindless and disabled on the battlefield, and they wanted to bribe Mu Hualan to take more care and support.
Originally, this was nothing, but these people were good fathers and cared about their sons, but what kind of Lord Wang, after praising his son, the lion opened his mouth and said that his son can be qualified for the post of deputy general, what the hell do you hope that General Lan can carry more?
And who who, who, what makes those civilian soldiers charge, and your son sits back and enjoys his achievements? Your son is so noble? So noble, you just keep him as a canary, oh, although you are not like that, but that's what it means.
And who else, you treat your son so well, but your son is right behind, that body that seems to be blown down by a gust of wind, are you sure he won't be punched Gameover?!
Qin Xiu rolled his eyes in his heart, full of infinite complaints, these people are simply enough, and their skin is thick enough, if Mu Hualan doesn't interrupt silently, he will leave impatiently.
When those people heard that Mu Hualan was so obvious, they naturally wouldn't object, but several people showed a trace of annoyance in their eyes, after all, they were half old, but Mu Hualan had no sign of letting go, how could this not make them feel annoyed in their hearts.
It's a pity that Mu Hualan has already spoken, and they don't dare to disobey, so they move back to both sides one after another, making way for the two of them from the middle.
Mu Hualan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she had always paid attention to Qin Xiu's expression, although he had always had a paralyzed face, but she still saw the impatience in it, and she herself didn't like this kind of conversation, but she was in the officialdom, she couldn't help herself, such a situation was inevitable, she was used to it.
The two of them crossed this way and walked towards the Taihe Palace, followed by the group of dignitaries and nobles, although Qin Xiu was very unaccustomed to some of them, but there were also some people who were not among them, and those people did not speak when they were selling their sons before, and they stayed quietly after saying hello, and a few people had already walked towards the Taihe Palace.
A large group of people moved towards the Taihe Palace, and a few people on the way did not give up, and tried to talk to Mu Hualan, but Mu Hualan said that she was not interested, and directly ignored the other party, and turned her head to introduce the palace scene she saw when she passed by to Qin Xiu.
"This is the hibiscus pond in the palace, and the lotus flowers in the pond are all first-order spirit plants, according to ......" When passing by a lotus pond, Mu Hualan introduced.
Hibiscus Pond, in fact, is a lotus pond, at this time it is June, the pond of green wide lotus leaves, faintly hidden a few rose-red, peach-pink, white flower bones, like a shy girl.
In the middle of the pool is a wooden bridge corridor, a group of people are walking on the bridge porch at this time, the evening breeze blows, the lotus leaves are gently swaying, the water surface is rippling in a circle, and the air is wafting with a faint fragrance.
The golden fish jumped out of the water and fell back into the water, and the water surface rippled even more, and the lotus flowers and leaves shook even more vigorously in the float.
Qin Xiu listened to Mu Hualan's explanation quietly, in fact, he was not very interested, but in order to cooperate with Mu Hualan, he made himself seem to listen seriously, and the more he listened, the more he wanted to complain in his heart, why does a good lotus pond have to be called Hibiscus Pond, it is good to call it a lotus pond, Hibiscus Hibiscus, it will always remind him of Sister Furong who looked like a flower and moon that year......
The two of them walked to the Taihe Palace, followed by a group of people.
Because of the delay in introducing the scenery halfway, by the time a few days came, many people in the hall had already come.
After entering the main hall, Mu Hualan was surrounded by a group of people, Qin Xiu quietly left the encirclement while people were not paying attention, but he really didn't know what to do after leaving the encirclement, it would take a while for the banquet to start, and he was not sure where his seat was.
"Boss Qin, here. Just as Qin Xiu was thinking about whether to find a random seat and sit down first, he suddenly heard a shout from behind the left side, this voice was very familiar, and it seemed that only his diners would call him Boss Qin.
Qin Xiu raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look, and saw the twelve brothers of the Xiao family dressed in colorful clothes at a glance, seeing that there was some surprise in their eyes Qin Xiu, it was Xiao Liuxiao who called him.
Xiao He stood up from his seat, raised his arm and waved vigorously at him.
Qin Xiu turned around and walked towards him, came to the twelve brothers of the Xiao family, and looked at them in surprise: "You are also here?"
"Our Xiao family has donated a lot of money and materials for this expedition, how can we not be invited to this banquet. Xiao He explained casually, and then complained to Qin Xiu, "Boss Qin, you don't know, you don't know that this dessert was made by that chef, and it's not delicious at all." ”
"It's just that this kidney bean cake isn't sweet enough at all. Next to him, Xiao Shixiao Kun, a sweet-loving maniac, echoed, his face was full of approval, and he threw the pastry he had just bitten back to Pan Zheng
"Oh?" Qin Xiu was interested, reached out and picked out a square kidney bean cake as white as snow from the plate in front of Xiao He, put it to his mouth, and took a bite gently.
As soon as the kidney bean cake was eaten in his mouth, Qin Xiu felt a sweet taste, this sweetness was very light, but it would not make people feel that it was not sweet enough, but in the next second, he frowned, the sweetness was not bad, but the texture was not soft enough, and there was no such sweet and refreshing feeling in the mouth, soft but not greasy.
He put the pastry in his hand on the table, shook his head and said: "The production process of kidney bean cake is not complicated, it should be that this chef is also a little unskilled, and he is not careful enough in the production process, the production is very hurried, the white kidney beans and red kidney bean bean skins are not removed, and then when the two beans have not been steamed and rotten, they began to be pounded into a puree......
Looking at Qin Xiu, who was like a river just after tasting it, the Xiao family brothers didn't feel strange at all, and they wouldn't question his authenticity, in their hearts, Qin Xiu's cooking skills were indisputable!
But they don't think there's anything wrong, it doesn't mean that others think the same way, no, there was a sneer: "Ah, yo, come and see, where did this ignorant man come from?
"All in all, it's a failure. Qin Xiu ignored this sentence, but continued to finish the last sentence he thought.
But the brothers of the Xiao family looked at the man who said it, and after seeing who the person who said it was, Xiao Jiu Xiao Xuan threw away a roll of his eyes, pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Yo~ Who is this?
"Xiao Xuan, your mouth is still so stinky!" said the man with a sinking face.
"Snort, Yang Quan, are you on your own?" Xiao Xuan glanced at Yang Ershao Yang Quan provocatively.
The atmosphere between the two was tense, and there was a faint feeling that they were going to fight in the next second.
Qin Xiu was a little curious, and looked at the so-called Yang Quan, who was blinded by the bomb disposal.
Yang Quan is a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, not fat or thin, not tall, not very outstanding in appearance, he is wearing a shining robe, there is a halo of light on the robe, at first glance, it makes people feel that this dress is worth a lot of money, if Qin Xiu is not mistaken, this robe is a spiritual weapon!
There are also grades of spiritual weapons, divided into one to nine grades, although this robe is only a first-grade spiritual weapon, but it is also very extraordinary.
However, what made Qin Xiu feel blind was not the spirit robe, but the jewelry he was carrying, the two-finger-wide bead necklace was completely carved from the spirit crystal, and the one-finger-wide pure gold bracelet on the wrist, the jade wrench on the thumb, the gold ring on the finger and the tail ring made of the spirit crystal, all ten fingers were full, and two fingers also had two rings on them.
On his head, he wore a crown of hair studded with various colored gemstones, and the belt, which was apparently a belt of storage space.
Seeing him, Qin Xiu's first reaction was: This is a real nouveau riche! The sparkle emanating from his body covered the two people beside him.
The two people around him? Qin Xiu glanced at the two people, and at this look, he suddenly found a very familiar person among the two.
The familiar man was gorgeously dressed, looked like a dog, with a hint of frivolity in his eyes, his eyes were blue and black, his face was pale, and he looked overindulgent, his gaze at Qin Xiu was a little complicated.
Sun Wei, a name popped up in Qin Xiu's mind, and he suddenly remembered the third customer he met when he first came to this world, and the first person who wanted to take credit but was stripped off and raised to show the public.
If this person doesn't appear, he will forget that there is such a person, Qin Xiu looked him up and down and then looked away, this lack of Chu seemed to put down the cruel words, and asked him to look good, but there seemed to be no movement all the time.
Sun Wei's mood is very complicated now, when he was dining in the restaurant, he forgot to bring the money bag and wanted to pay on credit, but he was rejected by Qin Xiu, and he was stripped of his clothes and hung on Taiyi Street to show the public, he has never been able to forget the shame at that moment, even after discovering that his cultivation was promoted to the level because of eating the food of the tomb, he did not change his mind that he wanted to make the store disappear.
But when he was about to make a move, he found that the store was included in the protection range of King Ning's forces! For the sake of a broken shop, it is obviously unwise to face Ning Wang's Mansion, this special person is aggrieved, and he can't take revenge, when has he suffered such a big loss?!
In particular, his father resolutely did not allow him to confront Ning Wangfu after knowing the news, which was really aggrieved to the extreme!
Later, the store became more and more popular, especially after even the prime minister went to the restaurant to eat, this store entered the eyes of the upper class, and then the owner of the store directly became General Lan's concubine, and even His Majesty the Emperor went to the restaurant to eat!
