After dark, seeing that everyone was already gathered, Zou Yu walked out of the back room and stood at the top of the hall.

As soon as Zou Yu appeared, someone noticed it, and immediately stopped talking, and the others soon found out, and hurriedly tidied up their clothes and gathered in the middle of the hall.

"See the prince!" Everyone saluted in unison.

"You don't have to be polite!" Zou Yu smiled and bowed in return, and then continued: "Today is just a family banquet, there are not so many rules, everyone is free. ”

"Whoa!" Everyone agreed, and as Zou Yu walked to the top table and sat down, everyone also followed according to their identities and found a place to sit down.

"Serve!" Zou Yu commanded.

As he spoke, groups of maids, carrying dishes, came up in rows, coming and going, endlessly, and after a while, the large round table was full.

Another maid opened the wine jar and poured the wine for everyone, and Zou Yu stood up with a glass.

Of course, needless to say, the others hurriedly raised their glasses and stood up, looked at Zou Yu, and waited for him to speak.

"Today's banquet is a reward to thank you for your hard work some time ago; Second, to welcome new colleagues, join Jinyang, we will be a family in the future, I hope you will work together with me to make the country and governance better! Zou Yu said loudly with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he held the wine bottle, gestured around, and then dried it in one gulp.

"Follow the teachings of the prince!" The crowd replied in unison, and then followed.

"Feel free, everyone, eat well! Drink well! Zou Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, then sat down.

"You are free, the prince is very easy-going, not to mention that this is a family banquet." Ma Zhou said with a smile, his table was full of newcomers who had been sent to the secretary for internship.

"It's so hearty! The prince is really polite. Xu Wenyuan looked at a table of more than thirty dishes and couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be surprised, these dishes are very common, it can be said that everyone eats these every day, but there are not so many quantities, after all, the prince does not like extravagance and waste." Ma Zhou explained with a smile.

"Eat these usually? So good! Xu Wenyuan asked in surprise.

"I'll introduce you to you! Many of the dishes here are actually invented by the prince, meritorious generals, and officials are also uniformly trained.

This part is a pastry snack, which is made of wheat flour, so it is not luxurious, but very delicate!

This part of the cold dishes, as well as these stir-fried dishes, is made of pork; These fish are also the imperial court's own, and they have not affected the people! Not to mention fruits and vegetables! It's not worth the money. Ma Zhou stretched out his hand and pointed to introduce them.

"Pork!" Xue Deyin couldn't help but pick the corner of his eyes, and said in surprise, he couldn't imagine that Zou Yu would use this kind of cheap meat for a banquet, you must know that because the taste is too strong, pork is called cheap meat, and only ordinary people will eat it.

"Don't underestimate pork, it tastes very good! This is because the pork we breed does not have the smell that can't be removed before! Ma Zhou understood what was going on, and introduced with a smile undiminished.

"These fish look like sea fish, right? How did the prince get so many of such rare things? Xu Wenyuan asked, pointing to the dishes on the table.

"These are indeed rare after all, because it is rare to eat such high-quality goods! But if it's rare, it's not really, like me! You can also get some every month.

As for where they came from, these were all sent by Liaodong Yucheng. Ma Zhou explained.

"Liaodong Fish City? Where is that? Xu Wenyuan asked blankly.

"Oh! This is a newly established place, just near Beisha, because of the abundance of all kinds of marine fish, sea vegetables! Everyone is used to calling it Fish City. Ma Zhou then remembered that they didn't know about fishing, and hurriedly explained again.

"So to speak! There must be a lot of fish. Xue Deyin asked curiously.

"Everyone will naturally know about this in the future, eat the vegetables first! lest it be cold and taste bad. Ma Zhou's face was slightly bitter, and he changed the topic.

Originally from a poor family, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so picky about food, but he can't hold up too much of it, this sea fish has a strong taste, and he seems to feel a fishy smell on his body if he eats too much.

Everyone suppressed their doubts and began to taste the dishes, but they couldn't stop tasting this time, and they couldn't even drink the wine.

Braised lion's head! Braised fat sausage! Chilled chicken! Pork ears salad! Husband and wife lung tablets! I haven't eaten any of the dishes!

Steamed abalone! Smooth and delicious, not to mention that there is a special person to explain to them how to eat, explain the effects of various delicious and nourishing effects.

With the last dish of double ginseng porridge made of sea cucumber and ginseng, everyone felt that their stomachs were a little uncomfortable.

"Alas! Lao Cheng feels that the first half of his life has been in vain! Swallowing the last piece of braised pork, Cheng Zhijie wiped his greasy mouth with the palm of his hand and sighed.

Niu Jinda took the towel handed by the maid, wiped his mouth and hands, and then slowly looked at the stunned Cheng Zhijie and said, "The taste is indeed very good!" ”

Cheng Zhijie took a towel to wipe his hands indiscriminately, pretending to be indifferent, and looked around.

"Don't pretend! I've seen it all! Niu Jinda said lightly.

"What if you see it! Old and new, you say! Everyone is a martial artist, where do you come from so much exquisiteness, isn't it. Cheng Zhijie asked angrily.

Xin Wenli said with a smile: "Lao Cheng is right! We warriors are not so feminine. ”

Xinwen Lixue looked like he was in trouble, if it wasn't for the fact that he had just put down the towel, everyone else would have believed it.

"Haha!" Zhang Gongjin and the others couldn't help laughing.

"Haha!" Cheng Zhijie also laughed.

This is just a joke by a few people, there were originally some strangers, after eating and drinking, they became familiar with a lot at once.

"I knew that the prince had a good life here! Only now do I know that it is so good! If I had known, why would I still be guarding that breakthrough! I've been here for a long time. Xin Wenli sighed.

"Today the new home has been divided! Let's get together another day, and we will visit the door in the future! Cheng Zhijie said with a smile.

In addition to the characteristic houses built at the beginning of Jinyang, a lot of them were prepared for officials, and many of them were empty, Niu Jinda and others came, and they also needed to prepare furniture for their houses, so they were delayed for three days.

Cheng Zhijie meant, we are all newcomers, we should huddle together to keep warm, communicate with each other, and others also heard it, and nodded very tacitly.

This relationship, no matter when, is unavoidable, if you don't want to be isolated, you have to have your own circle.
