Shen You looked at the two people who didn't look at each other with great interest, but fortunately, Su Changan didn't continue to ask, but just beckoned the waiter standing aside wearing a red peony cheongsam embroidered to add tea to himself.

At half past eleven, Shen You beckoned to the waiter with a bumpy figure and signaled that the table could be opened. When the waiter nodded and went out, Su Changan said to Shen You, "Aren't you waiting?" ”

"No need! At half past eleven, to come or not to come, we will all start. Bai Wan smiled a little cheaply on the side.

Just when the waiter had just brought the first dish to the table, he heard someone say from the door: "Before the guest arrived, the host opened the table first, which is obviously insincere!" As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Menghu walking in slowly.

Shen You stood up slightly, made a posture of sitting in front of Zhang Menghu, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is late, at least you have to punish yourself for three cups!" ”

Zhang Menghu said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "It doesn't matter if I drink it, but Brother Shen, isn't it a little wrong for you, the master, to even wait and start the banquet directly!" ”

Shen You smiled and said: "The guest of the appointment is not just you, Brother Zhang, if you are alone, let alone wait for ten minutes and half an hour, even if it is dusk from now on, I will wait, but now after all, there are still Su Longtou and Nalan Gongzi sitting here, if you ignore the two of you and simply wait for you, I'm afraid it won't be able to say it!" ”

It is clear that Shen You is setting a trap for Zhang Menghu, if Zhang Menghu agrees to it, he will naturally offend Su Changan and Nalan Changfeng, and Zhang Menghu reacted very quickly, and replied very artistically: "In this case, I am sure to drink this wine!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Menghu avoided the topic, Shen You did not continue to ask questions, and continued to follow Zhang Menghu's words: "Since Brother Zhang has spoken, if I don't care about this wine, it will seem that I am stingy." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to the waiter standing aside and said, "A few bottles of ambergris!" ”

Ambergris wine is a special product of Zhongjing City, there is Du Kang liquor in ancient times, Cangjie makes a word, and this ambergris wine is the boutique of Du Kang wine.

There is also a beautiful legend about this ambergris, according to legend, the Yellow Emperor asked Du Kang to store grain, and Du Kang put the grain on the ground, but as the weather changed, rain and snow appeared, and soon, the grain became moldy.

When the Yellow Emperor found out, he was furious and ordered Du Kang to keep it, and then went out to fight. When Du Kang was at a loss, he saw the dead trees in the mountains, and immediately thought about it, led people to hollow out the trees, and then put the grain inside.

The Yellow Emperor has been fighting for many years, and the territory has been in good weather, and no one has checked the earliest stored grain, and when Du Kang went to check one day, he found many wild beasts such as goats and wild boars lying around the trees, and he thought they were dead, so he got them back with people. It's just that after getting back, these beasts will wake up quickly and leave in a hurry.

When Du Kang was surprised, he followed over there to check, and happened to see two hares circling there, and after a while they fell there. So Du Kang stepped forward to check, only to see that there was something like gurgling water oozing out at the lower end of the big tree, so he leaned over and sang, only to feel slightly spicy, but there was another fragrance, Du Kang felt more and more delicious when he drank it, and after a while, the whole person also fell asleep groggily.

When he woke up, he found that the hare was nowhere to be found, and when he checked the grain, he found that the grain was gone, and it had all turned into this juice, so he immediately put it in a jar and told the Yellow Emperor about it.

The Yellow Emperor asked the minister of character making, Cangjie, to name this thing, which was the predecessor of wine. And the Yellow Emperor then used this thing to feast the guests, when the guests smiled and laughed, only to see the sky suddenly rise clouds and fog, a giant dragon also fell from the sky, stretched out his head to the jar of wine to try to drink a little, but did not expect that the mouth of the altar was too small, when everyone was frightened, the Yellow Emperor got up with a smile, filled a bowl of wine and fed it to the dragon, before he poured the second cup, the dragon rose into the air.

Originally, the wine that the dragon wanted to drink but did not drink was also fragrant because of the flow of ambergris, Du Kang just left a bowl of this jar of wine, and then mixed it into his later wine, which is the origin of ambergris.

As the waiter wearing a red peony cheongsam brought the ambergris over, the water mats had already begun to be served one after another.

According to the distribution of water seats in Zhongjing City, there are a total of eight cold dishes, sixteen hot dishes, eight cold dishes are the names of dishes with the theme of clothing, etiquette, Tao, desire, art, literature, Zen, and politics, and sixteen hot dishes are based on the theme of four town tables, eight large pieces, and four sweeping tails.

The first cold dish to come up is the theme of "clothing", using egg yolk to make a thin egg coat, golden and thin as cicada wings, and the dragon and phoenix pattern is embellished with green and red silk on the egg coat, which then represents the emperor's yellow robe.

When this dish first came up, Zhang Menghu opened his mouth and smiled at Shen You and the others with deep meaning and said, "Several, this dish has a profound meaning, I don't know who should taste it first?" ”

This dish vaguely refers to the emperor's yellow robe, and it obviously refers to who can stand in the position of dominating the majority, seeing that there is no one to interface, Zhang Menghu poured a glass of ambergris sent by the waiter and drank it all, and then picked up the chopsticks and said: "I'm late, and the wine is fine, so naturally I want to eat the food, you are not very hungry and you can not eat it first, but I am not welcome." ”

"Sometimes, the first thing to do is not necessarily a good thing, just like eating, there must be a moderation, there must be a degree, beyond this degree, it is not impossible to be choked to death." Su Changan said with a smile.

"Well, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell a story, someone raised two pigs, one of them was slightly stronger, so he bullied the weak one all day long, basically there is food is it eaten first, it is the little pig after eating, with the development of time, the gap between the two pigs is becoming more and more obvious, the gap that was originally just a little bit is becoming bigger and bigger, but when it comes to the Spring Festival, in order to exchange money, this pig that grabs food everywhere will inevitably be slaughtered." Nalan Changfeng said.

Originally, Zhang Menghu had already picked up the dish, and when he heard the two of them say this, the chopsticks stayed in the air, and said with a smile: "This dish takes a service word, and the next two dishes are taken from the word Li and Tao, which is made of deer tendons, and must be placed in a slightly arched shape, symbolizing etiquette, and Tao is rolled up with tofu slices, and there is an indescribable deliciousness in the mouth, but, do you know why after the clothes that symbolize the emperor's yellow robe, followed by Li and Tao?" ”

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, he said to himself: "In the face of absolute power, you must maintain the most basic respect and regard it as a ...... courtesy" Before he finished speaking, Su Changan had already snorted coldly at him and asked: "I said Xiao Zhang, friend, did your father tell you a sentence called ants bite to kill elephants?" ”

In all fairness, Su Changan and Zhang Menghu's father are equals, and it is not without capital to rely on the old and sell the old in front of Zhang Menghu at this moment, not to mention, Hongmen in eastern Guangdong is not a simple person, and relatively speaking, it is also a hard stubble.

"It's ants that kill elephants, not goshawks, mosquitoes or bees, so elephants may be everywhere, but ants aren't very common, you say, Su Long." Zhang Menghu asked with a smile.

"Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables......" Shen You greeted from the side, lightly bringing the slightly tense atmosphere just now.

At this time, several other cold dishes have also come up, according to the tradition of the water seat in Zhongjing City, the next is the Four Towns Table, the Four Towns Table is basically full of big dishes, and the waiter led a foreman woman in, as soon as he entered the door, the foreman's woman opened her mouth directly to Shen You and asked: "Excuse me, this gentleman, can we serve other dishes first, Yan Cai is still being prepared......

Shen You has always been easier to speak, although he was a guest at the banquet today, he didn't feel embarrassed for the other party at all, he just nodded to indicate that he knew, and he didn't speak. But everything became confusing after millions of people opened their mouths and asked one more sentence.

Just as the man was about to turn around, he only heard a million people ask, "Aren't we too late?" For whom? ”

Originally, Bai Wan just asked casually, even if that person didn't speak, Bai Wan wouldn't care too much, but that person ran towards the principle that the customer is God, and cautiously said to Shen You: "The guest is on the side, and the name of the private room is Dahan Haoran"

"We can't say what to do, but it's not locals, so we should be able to do some work." The foreman said generously to Shen You.

Shen You had basically guessed that it must be someone from the rivers and lakes, and sure enough, Zhang Menghu went out to take a look and said to Shen You: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I would have suspected that you were two brothers." ”

"Okay, what do you see?"

"The person in the next room, you also know, Shen Qing."

Shen You waved his hand and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter to him, let's drink ours, good things are grinding, just wait slowly." After speaking, he raised his glass to everyone present and made a gesture of drinking.

When everyone picked up the cup and tried to drink it all, they didn't expect Nalan Changfeng to have no expression, and even said that it was a little cold.

Shen You also noticed that he was wrong, and immediately asked him, "What's wrong?" The Nalan brothers. ”

"The capital is not peaceful here!" Nalan Changfeng looked depressed.

Everyone smiled slightly, everyone knows that the current dragon gods in Zhongjing City are mixed, and the so-called unrest is normal. Unexpectedly, Nalan Changfeng suddenly said a shocking word.

In this city, in addition to the people I know, there should be a deeply hidden force!
