Everyone turned to Liu Shuang and admired it for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suo Ting secretly praised Liu Shuang, and he was also a lot nobler, and he felt a little proud in his heart.
Liu Shuang was not arrogant, smiled modestly, pointed to the food on the table and said: "The banquet in Chang'an is lively, and the table of colorful flowers is very joyful. The dishes of Gangnam Province are known for their exquisite elegance and are not equal. ”
Between words and laughter, the details have arrived, and the servants opened a set of eight small plates of octagonal food boxes on each case, with colorful colors and various patterns. In addition to the common golden custards, seven back cakes, royal yellow queen mother rice, scarlet fragrant rice dumplings, cherry Biluo and other common pastries, there are also made of fine petal-like transparent flower cakes, semi-transparent cakes faintly visible light red Lingsha Zhen, not to mention that the mold of making cakes has to be carved for several days, that is, it is also a labor-intensive work to boil red beans into Lingsha Zhen.
After a lot of praise, Kang Dazhi got up and invited a circle of wine, and the guests and hosts were extremely polite.
"This looks like a basket, I don't know what to pay attention to?" During the banquet, a person pointed to a steamed cake in the middle of the octagonal food box and asked.
When everyone looked at it, it really looked like a basket, but the one that should have been fried was changed to steamed, and the similar golden yellow color was not formed by frying it thoroughly, but was drizzled with a layer of viscous candied satives.
The maid looked at everyone suspiciously, shook her head, and said, "This is the basket, and there is nothing to say." The people at the banquet didn't take this to heart, just a distorted snack, how could such a subtle and worthless thing be compared with the golden prince of the military department in front of him.
Suo Ting raised his hand and waved away the maidservant, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Fu Yanyan, who was sitting in front of the desk, staring at the octagonal food box in a daze. He pursed his lips secretly, and said in his heart, sure enough, he has been with the soldiers and martial artists all the year round, and he is stupid, and the eldest son of Shangfeng is in front of him, how can he make a few slightly novel foods take up his mind, and he can't complain that Chang'an can't stay still, and he was sent to the border to guard.
However, at this moment, it was not Suo Ting who peeked at Tanyan, and Kang Dazhi, the chairman of the family, also took advantage of the moment when everyone was surrounding Liu Shuang, and couldn't help but look at Tanyan, and saw him staring at the food box, and he didn't feel happy.
"Coarse food and ugly food, let Captain Yandu laugh." Kang Dazhi raised his cup to Fu Yanyan and raised his head to drink it.
Fu Yanyan replied happily, put down the wine cup and arched his hand: "Da Sabao is too humble, I am afraid that this table is not easy to prepare, the dishes and wine are excellent, why is it rude." Besides, the charm of the south of the Yangtze River has not been tasted for a long time, especially the preparation method of this basket, which is really familiar to me. ”
"Captain likes?" Kang Dazhi showed surprise on his face, and moved to Fu Yanyan's side without a trace, "Jiangnan drink, I'm afraid that you won't be used to it, but I didn't expect to be able to vote for the captain's preference." ”
"Don't hide it from Da Sabao." Fu Yanyan trembled the corners of his lips slightly, and relaxed his usual cold guard: "Jiaci County Wangjiang South Road, good at cooking, since she abandoned the world, she will ...... again" He suddenly stopped and said apologetically: "On a day like today, I shouldn't have said this, Da Sabao forgive me." ”
"Our family doesn't have so many rules, so the captain doesn't have to care." Kang Dazhi laughed, and stepped forward to pour a lamp for Fu Yanman.
After taking a sip of it, he hesitated in his heart, and finally asked, "There is a reluctant request below...... Would you like to see the chef who made this basket, but it is still convenient? ”
Kang Dazhi smiled and waved his hand, "Captain, please take care of yourself." The left and right cooks are in the side courtyard, and they can't disturb the female dependents. ”
Fu Yanyan stiffened and smiled, somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, Kang Dazhi didn't care, and he was overjoyed in his heart, wishing that he would leave the table and go to the back kitchen immediately.
The banquet was hearty, and the dancing girl came to perform "Yue Ren Song" barefoot and plain clothes, and the eyes of the men in the main hall turned to the delicate dancing girl like a flower.
The song was not finished, Liu Shuang thought that the dance music was too plain, but he felt bored, and for a while the wine was on his head again, so he said that he wanted to change his clothes and leave the table to disperse the wine.
Fu Yanyan held a small basket with oiled paper in his hand, and turned out from the back door of the main hall where the banquet was located. Kang Zhai is not very big, he only asked one domestic servant, and then he found the way to the back kitchen, but the way to the back kitchen, but a tea kung fu.
The smoke in the back kitchen is rising, the plates are tinkling, the kitchen lady and maid are calling loudly, and there is no need to bother looking for it, it is warm in the courtyard. The flick of the leaves that cover the door of the side courtyard is blown, and the kitchen is in front of you.
He slowly walked through the bottle-shaped doorway, into the courtyard, because he was not wearing a military robe official uniform, only a half-new bamboo green silk robe, the servants and maids in the inner house did not recognize who he was, and felt that he had an extraordinary bearing, and the skin was good-looking, which caused the busy servants and maids around him to stop their work and look at him, so that he did not know which one to ask him to ask.
Suddenly, the bamboo curtain on the kitchen door moved, and a red-haired and snow-skinned bearded girl came out of it, holding a basket of cherries in her hand. Hu Nu was slightly stunned, her wonderful eyes turned around him, and she suddenly bent her knees and saluted him: "Yin Niang has seen Yanduwei." Lieutenant, this is going to be ......"
Fu Yanyan spread out his palm and raised his chin to the basket in his hand: "Dare to ask, who is making this basket?" ”
Suo Liangyin looked over, pursed his lips and shook his head: "Today's feast, there are no less than thirty or fifty cooks and helpers, and I can't tell who is the hand. ”
Fu Yanyan's heart was empty for a while, his face did not move, he bowed slightly towards Suo Liangyin, and turned to leave.
Only then did he get out of the doorway, and a weak greeting voice came from behind him: "Liu Gongzi is well." ”
"It was originally a cousin of Yin Niang." A flirtatious laugh followed, "Shouldn't you call your cousin with Zhao Niang?" How can you see the outside like this? ”
Fu Yanyan had already walked to the branches and leaves outside the doorway, and when he heard the light meaning of these words, he unconsciously paused and frowned, but after all, it had nothing to do with himself, and he raised his foot and took a few steps forward.
A richly dressed man stood in front of the kitchen door, blocking Suo Liangyin's way, this person was Liu Shuang, and I don't know where he moved from.
Suo Liangyin was about to leave in a hurry, but Liu Shuang stretched out an arm and blocked her chest. "In the future, I often hear that Zhao Niang Duanli, and when I see Yin Niang, I know what is stunning, but no one mentions it. Tsk, there are countless Chang'an Music Workshops, and I haven't seen the Hu Nu Dancing Girl who can be compared to the same sound girl, and it is a pearl hidden here after all. ”
Fu Yanyan's ear power is excellent, and he hears clearly, but he never wants to go back and defuse it.
His life in Chang'an is not shallow, it is common for the son of a gentleman to laugh and play with orchids, and the literati and scholars regard this move as a graceful and suave person, although he does not like the style of this world, he will not come out to provoke right and wrong.
"This Ah Lang has turned the wrong way?"
As the bamboo curtain moved, a crisp voice rushed out with a smile, "The dancers are dancing in the main hall in front of them, this is the little lady of the Suo family, I think Ah Lang drank too much wine, and he mistook it for a while." Do you want to call someone to send Ah Lang back to the main hall? ”
