"Yes, the king is going to have a good taste." Li Er said happily.

"It's so fragrant, this is an iron pot stir-fry?"

"It's one step later than the prince, and I thought where the prince went, it turned out to be here."

"Zhijie always praises how delicious stir-fried food is, but this time it doesn't seem to be boasting about Haikou."

"The dog said that Lu Xiaolangjun is a must for cooking, and he has to try it this time."

"I smell the fragrance from afar, haha, it looks like I've come to the right place this time."

As the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chi Jingde walked into the kitchen one after another, they greeted Li Er while commenting, and Lu Ting was dumbfounded.

What day is it? It seems that the cronies of the Qin Palace's mansion have come.

Lu Ting asked with some curiosity: "Uncle Cheng, what day is today?" ”

"Keming received the will to be promoted to the household servant at the court meeting yesterday, and today he specially celebrated his achievements, I wanted to go to Xiyuelou to set up a banquet, but Xiyuelou eats and eats all of them, it is better to go to my house, it is convenient to speak, and you can also taste the iron pot stir-fry you made" Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Still thinking about how to speak, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to enter the kitchen, it is really heartfelt." ”

This is also called having a good heart, and thinking of yourself as a free cook in Chengfu.

Du Ruhui smiled and said to Lu Ting: "Lu Ting, I waited for you to come uninvited, and you were tired." ”

To Lu Ting, Du Ruhui is grateful from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for Lu Ting's messing up of that Tang Pan, he would not have been able to find the hot position of the household servant, these days Du He's kid also thinks about Lu Ting's good every day, and now Du Ruhui is pleasing to Lu Ting's eyes.

"Don't dare, I have to take care of Du Shilang in the future." Lu Ting hurriedly saluted.

Fang Mou Du Duan can be called Li Er's right-hand man, the future boss, he also has to hug his thighs.

The ventilation in the kitchen was not very good, the smoke was burning, Li Er just wiped his eyes, and Cheng Yanjin immediately said: "Lord Wang, the dancing girl in the house has just lined up a new dance, it is better to take a look and enjoy it while waiting for the food to be served." ”

"Okay, appreciate it." Li Er nodded, patted Cheng Jin's shoulder, and said happily.

Li Ergui is the king of Qin, and he came to the kitchen on a whim, and he will definitely not stay here for a long time, Lu Ting saw that King Cheng was as docile as a little sheep and followed Li Er's side, talking and laughing, and was speechless.

It's almost a second, I just wanted to persuade Li Er not to be in the kitchen, which is not in line with his identity, and before he could say it, King Cheng had already said it first.

What a rival.

Lu Ting sweated like rain in the kitchen, tossed for nearly half an hour, looked at the dishes on the charcoal stove, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The conditions of Chengfu are good, I am afraid that the vegetables will be cold in winter, so I made a rack that can hold charcoal, seal and put charcoal below, put it on the shelf after the dish is done, and use charcoal fire to heat it to ensure that the dish is still steaming for a period of time.

Ranger Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Pine Nut Fish, Stir-fried Mutton, Garlic Herb, Lettuce Fried Mutton, Lu Ting spent a lot of effort to make six dishes, which didn't seem to be much, but the head of the kitchen said that there were as many as four people celebrating this time, and a total of twenty-four dishes were made.

You can't favor one over the other, one table has it, and the other table has nothing.

Set up a celebration banquet, and the New Year is approaching, it must be grand, the six dishes made by Lu Ting are just to add to the fun, Lu Ting took a look at the dishes made by the chef of Chengfu, and found that there are really a lot of dishes, including roasted whole sheep, deer breast, honey bear's paw, sea bass, golden custard, donkey mane hump roast, etc., as well as all kinds of exquisite pastries.

The wealthy family pays attention to eating, and the dishes will not be all served at once, but are divided into several batches according to the variety and taste, and one batch is almost eaten or no one has moved the chopsticks, and the next batch will be replaced immediately.

Seeing the mountains of delicacies piled up in the kitchen, Lu Ting couldn't help but think of the mixed bean rice he ate, and he felt a lot of emotions for a while, no wonder everyone is eager to become a master, not to mention anything else, just in terms of food, the gap is too big.

"Young Master Lu, the banquet will start soon, Gongzi is also a distinguished guest in the house, he will attend in a while, the hot water has been prepared, it is better to take a bath and change clothes first." The old housekeeper Cheng Zhong walked up to Lu Ting and said with a smile.

Lang Jun and the three sons had a very good impression of Lu Ting, and this banquet invited King Qin to name Lu Ting, and Lu Ting's status in the heart of the old housekeeper also rose.

Have a share of the celebration party? Isn't the character a makeshift cook?

Lu Ting didn't know that Zheng Yuanxuan was not greedy for merit, so he also mentioned his name, and thought that the credit was all Zheng Yuanxuan's, and his biggest credit was to persuade Wang Qi to surrender, but this kind of thing was too secretive, Li Er just wanted to reward himself, so he had to come secretly.

After thanking the housekeeper, Lu Ting immediately went back to the room to bathe and change clothes, the first time he participated in such a grand banquet, he had to be solemn, and now he was sweaty, so he wanted to rinse it.

The unexpected joy is that he can't get along in Chang'an, and he can bluff a lot of people when he returns to Suzhou, at least the second uncle is not good at pointing fingers at himself.

Just a simple wash, when Lu Ting came to the lobby under the leadership of the maidservant, everyone was already seated.

Just when Lu Ting didn't know where to sit, Cheng bit the tip of his golden eyes and beckoned to Zheng Peng and said, "Virtuous nephew, here, come." ”

That is the main table, Lu Ting walked over with some doubts, and just wanted to salute, he was pulled by Cheng Yanjin to sit down: "The prince said, today is a celebration banquet, regardless of size and humility, just be happy, salute at every turn, aren't you tired, sit down." ”

"Uncle Cheng, the younger generation sits here... It's not appropriate. Lu Ting said with some humility.

The main table is indispensable to the host Cheng Biting Jin, the protagonist Du Ruhui, the most noble Li Er, and then the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Yu Chi Jingde and Zheng Yuanxuan, who rarely meet Honglu Temple, like Lu Deming and Duan Zhixuan, these cattle are all sitting in the second seat, and they are sitting here with a white body, do they have such a big face?

Li Er nodded and said: "This time, Keming can be promoted to the head of the household, relying on Tang Pan, Tang Pan is the instrument you make to assist in calculations, you belong to the first merit, and it is natural to sit here." ”

Zheng Yuanxuan stood up and saluted Lu Ting: "Without Xiao Langjun's consent, a certain person has already dedicated Tang Pan, please forgive Xiao Langjun." ”

The famous family is really proud, although he was born in a poor family, he is still a white body, the people of Cheng Mansion looked at him and called him "Childe", but Zheng Yuanxuan stood up and thanked him, just called Xiao Langjun, and said that his eyes looked at the sky when he said forgiveness, which showed that he did not recognize his status, in his eyes, he was just a lucky son of a poor family.

As for him not taking all the credit to himself, it is not that he is high-spirited, but that he cherishes his feathers too much and is reluctant to damage his reputation a little.

The Jiupin Zhongzheng system was discarded in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty directly abolished it, but those famous families still put themselves on top, although the first time they met, Lu Ting didn't like this Zheng Yuanxuan.

What's the big deal, you look down on me, I don't look down on you.

Thinking about it, Lu Ting stood up and said respectfully: "Don't dare, I'm not afraid of jokes when I say it, I owe a lot of favors in order to prepare for the passage to Chang'an, this thing has been given to others, Zheng Lao Gao Feng is bright, the younger generation admires, and I am really ashamed to forgive the younger generation." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji clapped his hands and said: "Okay, it has been said that the celebration banquet is no matter how big or small, both of them are high-spirited, sit down, sit down." ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed, picked up a wine glass and said loudly: "That's it, on such a happy day, how can there be no wine, Lord Wang, why don't we make three glasses first, and then talk after three glasses." ”

Li Er nodded, raised his wine glass and said: "Zhijie is right, on such a festive day, how can there be no wine, no one here is an outsider, everything is in the wine, do it!" ”

"Dry" everyone picked up the wine glasses one after another, and under the leadership of Li Er, they drank three glasses in a row.

As soon as everyone put it down, Du Ruhui and Cheng Yanjin stood up again and again to toast, and after three cups, they drank nine cups in a row, and then they began to pick up chopsticks and eat vegetables.

One is the protagonist of the promotion, and the other is the host, who has to give face when toasting.

Wine is the best medium to promote the atmosphere, and after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the banquet begins to heat up.
