Chapter 837: National Rites

Today is the 29th, and there are still two last days to end this month, ask for a few monthly passes.

"Uncle Xu, you're too unkind, and you have to force gifts to give." Han Peacock knew that he had fallen for Xu Jiachen, otherwise, he would not have done what he liked, and sent the clams out first, he really saw through Han Peacock and knew that it was absolutely impossible for Han Peacock to refuse.

"How can it be said to be a forced send? If you don't want it, then I can take it back. Xu Jiachen said with a smile.

Han Peacock said: "Since you have sent it for a long time, if I don't want it, isn't it too much of a lift?" But, you can say, there's no strings attached. Han Peacock naturally won't let himself suffer, and the excuse for causing trouble to himself must be blocked.

"Don't worry, it won't embarrass you, just accept it happily." As he spoke, Xu Jiachen opened the wooden box.

Han Peacock took a look, it was a round stove-like thing, judging from the pulp, it was definitely a thing of age, this thing was very exquisite, and the upper part was all hollowed out, such a process was very rare: "This is fragrant chlorine, right?" ā€

Liu Mingyu immediately gave a thumbs up: "You are really powerful, this thing is rare, you can recognize it at a glance." ā€

"Xiao Liu, you introduce Xiao Han, this is a national treasure, ordinary people can't even see it, this time we gave one directly." Xu Jiachen said.

Han Peacock picked up this thing, there are melon-type buttons on it, a triangular hole on the spherical body, a melon-shaped hole in the middle abdomen, a disc support under it, and three dragon feet under it. The whole vessel is beautiful and vigorous, and the green glaze is moist and elegant, and such utensils are definitely not used by ordinary people.

"This is the Jin Dynasty Yue Kiln Three-legged Socket Hollow Incense Chlorine, it seems that except for Xiao Han, you don't know anyone else." Liu Mingyu said.

Han Peacock's gaze was withdrawn from the three-legged pedestal hollow incense chlorine, and said to Liu Mingyu with a smile: "You are underestimating the world." ā€

"What? Is there anyone in our room who knows what this thing is? I'm afraid few people know what this thing is for, right? Liu Mingyu said.

Han Peacock shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily, we have someone here." is very good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. I felt something unusual just now, it turned out that I was the stupid one, and I thought I was smart. ā€

Zhou Meiren looked at Han Peacock suspiciously: "You don't mean catkins, right?" Does she know? ā€

Han Peacock smiled and said to Zhou Meidao: "You are still a little self-aware, I saw Liu Wu react just now." only to find out. She probably knows. And I like it very much. ā€

Zhou Meidao: "I'm just not interested in these things, if I want to study these things for ten years, I will definitely be better than the two of you." Fortunately, I'm not interested, and if I do antiques, you'll have to ask for food in the future. ā€

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you, you say catkins, how do you know?" ā€

Liu Wu glanced at Han Peacock and said: "I know this thing is normal, but you are a big man who knows it, so it is a little abnormal." ā€

Han Peacock pointed directly at Liu Mingyu and said, "He also knows." ā€

Cheng Jun said at this time: "Don't sell Guanzi, you know that you are all smart people, don't show your superiority here, hurry up and tell me, what is this?" ā€

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on themselves, Liu Fu sighed and said: "I originally wanted to be low-key, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Han Peacock, then I will be high-profile for a while, in fact, you look at this thing, hollow design, such a thing naturally can't hold water, so chlorine is a tool for smelling incense and heating."

Jin Xie Huilian's "Snow Fu" cloud: "Burn the chlorine furnace and burn the candle, and drink the cinnamon wine to promote the song." So this thing looks like a hand stove, but it's too big, it's not as good as a vase for decoration, and it can't be used to arrange flowers, so naturally it can only be used to make an incense burner, which is generally used by the court and large families, and there are really not many men who understand this, and you two are a little special." ā€

Han Peacock smiled and said to Liu Fu: "Okay! It's really impressive, when did you learn this knowledge? ā€

"When hunting for beauty, if you want to hit every shot, you naturally need to do some homework, so I memorized some knowledge by rote, but I didn't expect to meet a pervert, and these skills were useless." Liu Wu chuckled.

When Han Peacock heard this, his face turned green: "You can actually endure it until this time?" Zhou Meiren, have you seen the insidiousness of this woman? Why don't I divorce her, and you can fill this vacancy? ā€

"Haha, is it really okay for you to flirt in front of us old guys?" Liu Jinrui was originally reading some texts, but now when he heard Han Peacock's words, he finally couldn't help it.

"Uncle Liu, don't be so serious, right? Are you still afraid that I will give you false information? Han Peacock said with a smile.

Liu Jinrui said: "I'm just itching, you continue, just as if I didn't say anything just now." ā€

Xu Jiachen said: "It's a pity Xiaoliu, if it weren't for you Han Peacock, she would have made a greater contribution." ā€

"Forget it! With such a talent, you can only let her be a spy, let alone a spy, with Liu Wu's learning ability, if she had concentrated on studying medical skills over the years, she might have become a top-level surgical expert in China by now. Han Peacock said dissatisfied.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Wu was seriously injured in the line of duty, why would he have to go overseas to work so much.

Seeing that others were also talking about his catkins' medical skills, Xu Jiachen was stunned for a moment, and he immediately said: "I almost let your kid go in, just now I took out the incense burner and remembered one thing, Xiao Han, did you give us some of those agarwoods?" I heard that you have a lot of excellent Asan's agarwood in your hands, and it's useless to have too many things, so it's better to give us some old people. ā€

"I know that your gifts are not so easy to receive, but I am not you stingy old men, but I am still willing to give up some agarwood, these are two strings of Buddha beads, you and Uncle Liu are one string each!" After speaking, Han Peacock took out two strings of agarwood bracelets, put them on the table, and pushed them down in front of Xu Jiachen and Liu Jinrui respectively.

At this time, the waiter begins to serve the food. This time, the main dish is naturally the whole fish feast of yellow-lipped fish.

Nine of the world's most expensive foods are now counted, including the golden mammoth (yellow-lipped fish) off the southern coast of China, which is expensive and considered a high-quality food at $714 per pound of meat.

The other eight most expensive foods are: gold leaf, white truffle, caviar, saffron, Kobe beef, civet coffee, vanilla, and foie gras.

"This is the legendary yellow-lipped fish?" Xu Jiachen looked at the dishes served and asked curiously.

The waiter in the room was a sweet-looking little girl, and when she heard Xu Jiachen's inquiry, she immediately said, "This is yellow-lipped fish, that's sashimi, that's braised yellow-lipped fish." That's steamed. There is also sweet and sour, the soup is fish bone broth, and this cold dish is fish scale jelly, in addition to these. There is also a white snow yellow fish maw. ā€

"So this snow white yellow fish maw is the most special? How? Isn't it troublesome? Xu Jiachen asked with a smile.

The little girl said, "No trouble. Just soak the oily yellow croaker maw in warm water. Rinse with greasy, rinse with water and squeeze dry. Slice into strips, then put the fish maw into strips into a pot of boiling water and soak it thoroughly, remove it with a colander and drain it, put the egg white into a plate, and beat it into a snow-like egg bubble paste with chopsticks;

Heat the wok on a hot fire, put in the lard, first add the green onion knot to burst the fragrance, add 400 ml of rice wine and meat broth, remove the green onion knot, put in the fish maw, add refined salt, and fire; After boiling, cover and cook over low heat to taste, add monosodium glutamate, and thicken with wet starch;

Then pour the egg paste into the pot, stir it repeatedly with a spoon, drizzle with cooked lard, stir-fry a few times and put it on a plate, sprinkle with minced ham. In fact, the taste and texture of yellow-lipped fish are very ordinary, and its meat is petal-shaped, rough, and far less delicious than large yellow croaker.

However, the price of the swim bladder of the yellow-lipped fish is high, and it is more expensive than the same weight of gold, and the swim bladder can be made into the "belly" in the traditional Chinese 'abalone cucumber fin belly', which is considered to be the best fish maw. ā€

"It's really not simple, even such a big little girl knows so much, do you often make yellow-lipped fish in your restaurant?" Xu Jiachen continued to ask the little girl.

Han Peacock and the others just smiled and listened to Xu Jiachen's question and answer with the little girl, and the little girl was obviously prepared, so she was not stage frightened at all.

"What is this dish? You haven't introduced it yet. Xu Jiachen pointed to a small saucer.

"This is the liver of the yellow-lipped fish, and the quantity is so small that the guests can only eat it." The little girl said.

"It's as simple as that? Since the quantity is so small, how do you let the guests eat? Xu Jiachen deliberately embarrassed his sister-in-law.

The little girl was not embarrassed at all, and she immediately replied: "It is rumored that the yellow-lipped cod liver is poisonous, so it is abandoned and not eaten, but there is a cadre in the domestic fisheries bureau who made a bold attempt in the 70s.

Within a day or two after eating, the face is normal, and after the third day, the face begins to peel off and becomes a big flower face, and after a week, the old skin is peeled off and new skin grows, such as youthful and healthy.

There is also a point to pay special attention to, people who have eaten yellow-lipped fish gelatin say that they should eat in moderation, about 10 grams each time, eating more will be like drunkenness, drowsy, it is said that people who have overeaten have been asleep for three days and three nights before waking up, so they can't eat more of any good things. ā€

"Is it really as amazing as you say?" Xu Jiachen said in disbelief.

The little girl said, "I haven't eaten it, so I don't know." ā€

"What about cod liver? If it's really poisonous, then you let us eat it, isn't it hurting us? Cheng Jun said at this time.

The little girl glanced at Han Peacock and said, "Our big boss is here, are we even harming the big boss?" ā€

Xu Jiachen and the others laughed: "It's very interesting to listen to the little girl talking, it's just an appetite!" ā€

Han Peacock said with a smile: "You can't eat too much good things, so as not to make up for it, that is, it is too much." ā€

"Xiao Han, your face doesn't look very good, young people should be restrained!" Cheng Jun looked at Han Peacock and laughed evilly.

Han Peacock snorted directly and said, "I've been abstinent these days, and I'm still in moderation?" ā€

"What? Then your face is pale, your eyes are blank, and your legs are weak, what is going on? Is it also the fault of the hand? Liu Mingyu said with a wicked smile.

Han Peacock glared at them and said, "You guys are bad!" I'm embarrassed to go home this time. ā€

"Don't be afraid of being embarrassed, we'll make up for it, you eat more." Liu Mingyu said with a smile.

Han Peacock said: "You don't need to say it, I won't eat less, you are willing to drink as you like, I don't accompany you, I am persuaded to eat or not to drink, eat and drink, drink at will." ā€

Liu Jinrui said with a smile: "I like to be as refreshing as you, it's all casual, I heard that there is good wine here today, I'm welcome, if you don't drink it, give me all the wine, I'll drink it." ā€

"It's sixty years old, you can drink whatever you want." The wine brought out by Han Peacock is naturally not bad.

Everyone was eating and drinking at the same time, although Xu Jiachen and Liu Jinrui were in high power, they couldn't put up a fight in front of Han Peacock and others, which made Cheng Jun and the others unrestrained, so the room was suddenly relaxed.

When it was almost time to eat and drink, Xu Jiachen discussed things with Han Peacock again.

"I've known for a long time that your old man has something to say." Han Peacock said helplessly, this kind of thing can't be avoided.

This time, Xu Jiachen didn't speak, but Liu Jinrui spoke first: "Xiao Han, don't blame us old guys for being greedy, we can't help it, you know, cancer is now the nemesis of our old guys, your real room has come to fruition, do you think we are half-buried old men who are not moved?" ā€

"Cancer? This real yĆ n room is in the country, right? If you want, it's good to send someone to participate, I just have some ideas, it's still too early to get results, as long as you participate in the real yĆ n, there are results that are considered to be our two. Han Peacock said very happily.

Liu Jinrui patted his thigh and said: "I know that Xiao Han is a happy person, Lao Xu, I see that you have been an official all these years, and you are mentally abnormal, and you have thought about everything, I think even if you don't give Xiao Han a gift, he will agree." ā€

Han Peacock smiled and said, "It's not strange to have many people!" I'm not so high-spirited, and in the future, if you old people want to ask me to do something, just come to give me gifts, I'm not afraid of being told that I took bribes. ā€

Although Han Peacock was laughing, he was also strange, he really didn't expect that Xu Jiachen went around in a circle, and he actually just wanted a real room that he cooperated with Modu University of Science and Technology.

That real room didn't help him anymore, so he didn't mind using it for personal favors.

"Xiao Han, let's make it clear that we are only interested in your real room, but we don't want to occupy it, so that real room still belongs to you, and the results of the real room are completely yours, we just want to enjoy the fruits of the real room." Xu Jiachen said.

As soon as Xu Jiachen finished speaking, Liu Jinrui added again: "What Lao Xu means is that if you synthesize something good in your real room, don't forget us old guys, we are all afraid of death, so we really want to enjoy your research results." (To be continued......)
