Fei Haomiao shook his head and said with a smile: "This dish is actually made by my junior brother himself, so it's better for my junior brother to introduce it." ”

Cao Yi nodded at his senior brother, thanking him for the time he gave him to advertise. said with a smile: "Elders, in fact, these egg-shaped items that look crystal clear are indeed eggs, and there are many names, called rich eggs, jade eggs, and Songhua eggs." ”

Cao Yi picked up an egg from the basin, held it in the air, and said with a smile: "You can hold one per person and put it on your own plate to look at it carefully, this egg is more like jade in color, and it contains beautiful lines, similar to pine flowers, so it is also called Songhua eggs." ”

Everyone picked up one and put it on the plate to watch, and sure enough, as Cao Yi said, the pine flowers inside were indeed very beautiful.

"It's ...... By what means, could it be carved out of the inside? Chen Feibai asked curiously.

Cao Yi smiled and said, "Gong Chen, if I tell you how much each egg is, you will know if it is carved out."

"How much?"

"Twenty Wen."

"Twenty Wen!?" Chen Feibai said in surprise, in this case, it must not be artificially carved, otherwise the craftsmanship alone will be more than this money.

"Well, each egg sells for twenty yuan, these eggs are made through a special production process, and the pine flowers in each egg are different, they are all in the production process like Gaoyou salted duck eggs, after a special 'production', a natural formation of a pattern, so each one is different."

Everyone listened to Cao Yi's explanation and was amazed, and sighed that everything in the world is really magical.

"Then Cao Yi, how did you eat this jade egg, do you just eat it like this?" Chen Feibai asked after reading it once, as a gourmet, he had long wanted to taste it, he secretly smelled the smell of jade eggs just now, it seemed to have a pungent taste, but it was not a big problem for him who dared to try all kinds of food, since it was placed by Fei Haomiao, the governor of Yangzhou, to entertain guests at the banquet, the taste was naturally not much worse, and there was definitely no danger.

"Well, you can just eat it like this, or you can dip it in the sauce in front of you and eat it again, you can eat both, depending on your taste." Cao Yi dipped the rich egg in the sauce himself, took a bite, and made a demonstration. After seeing it, the others followed suit, and they also tasted it slowly after dipping it.

The expressions on everyone's faces at this time were different, like Chen Feibai, Chen Gong and Lu Xiaofeng, their eyes lit up, and they quickly took another bite, while Duan Xinde and Wang Honghua frowned, and they even looked like they wanted to vomit. The rest of them didn't have any obvious expressions, just chewing slowly and savoring the taste.

"You can eat it directly, or you can dip it in sauce, the two ways to eat, the taste is not the same, you can try it yourself, and you can eat which one you think is more delicious." Cao Yi looked at everyone's expressions and spoke.

This rich egg is like this, some people like its taste and think it is delicious, and some people don't like its taste very much, and feel that it is terrible, which is the case in modern times, so in this era, naturally some people like it and some people don't like it, and now it can be seen that Duan Xinde and Wang Honghua don't like it very much.

And Chen Feibai, Chen Gong and Lu Xiaofeng thought it was very delicious, because after eating one quickly, they then reached out and grabbed another one, but this time there was no dipping sauce, so they just bit and ate it, coincidentally, the two raised their eyebrows at the same time, and seemed to think that it tasted good just like that.

Cao Yi looked at the two of them and said: "Gong Chen, Brother Lu, because this rich egg is made of special materials, it usually eats a little less, and it also helps to keep your health, so this egg in Jiangning is also called a longevity egg, but it must be the opposite, if you eat too much in a short period of time, it will still hurt the body, at most three to four a day is about the same, and you can't eat it anymore." ”

Chen Feibai and Lu Xiaofeng stopped the action of being about to pick up the third rich egg, and embarrassedly put the chopsticks back. Cao Yi smiled, "This rich egg really can't eat more, it's not that I'm stingy, after all, it's only twenty yuan a piece, so no matter how much you eat, it's only a few taels of silver, this small jar of Taibai drunk wine sent today costs ten taels of silver, and a small jar of Qinglian wine costs twenty taels of silver, so the rich egg really can't eat more, but everyone can drink to their heart's content!" ”

"What!? Ten taels of silver and twenty taels of silver? Yu Su put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked in surprise, and the others also looked at Cao Yi in surprise, will the price of this wine be too expensive, this is no longer a matter of being a little more expensive, but a lot more expensive! You must know that even if it is a royal wine specially for the palace to drink for the officials, it is only a few taels of silver and a jar.

"Well, yes, it is sold at this price in Yangzhou, and many people rush to buy it!" Cao Yi smiled confidently on his face.

"But this is also how it should be, after all, this kind of wine, I have never drunk it before, this is just too white drunk, what is the taste of better Qinglian wine, I really can't imagine how delicious it should be." Fisherman stroked his long beard and sighed.

As soon as he said this, the expressions on the faces of the others were even more expectant, if Chen Feibai and Chen Gong were food experts, then Yusuo Zu Wenhan was a senior wine taster, and even he said that this wine was worth it, then it was absolutely delicious, and it was worth the price that Cao Yi quoted just now.

"Haha, Ancestor doesn't need to imagine, just taste it with his own mouth." Cao Yi said with a smile, and then gave Fei Haomiao a look, the latter clapped his hands, and the maids of the Zhizhou Mansion who were standing on the side immediately picked up the Qinglian wine that had been divided into the wine pot and poured it into the glass in front of everyone.

"Everyone!" After Cao Yi opened his mouth to attract everyone's attention, he said: "Now what I pour for everyone is Qinglian wine, presumably a few of the people here have drunk Taibai before, and they should have found that the wine is crystal clear, pure and transparent without a trace of variegation, and Qinglian wine is also the same as Taibai drunk, and it is also a fine wine with 'color, flavor, and flavor'." …… When you drink, you can look at it first, see its color, smell it, smell its fragrance, and then taste it...... Of course, this is only the order when you drink this wine for the first time, and if you drink too much later, you can just pick it up and drink it directly."

Cao Yi said with a smile, but then he remembered it again and spoke again: "Oh, by the way, as for the difference between Taibai Drunk and Qinglian Wine, I say this and maybe everyone will understand it immediately, that is, you need to consume three servings of Taibai Drunk to make one Qinglian Wine!" ”

"I see!" Diao Suo said with emotion, and then eagerly followed the method Cao Yi said, and quickly picked up the wine glass to look at it and smell it before tasting it. Don't look at his very anxious appearance just now, the moment he really picked up the wine glass, he did every step very seriously, and he was very religious, this is his attitude towards fine wine, he loves wine as his life, and regards fine wine as his own life-sustaining prescription.

After everyone took a sip, they all showed extremely satisfied expressions, and praised that it was indeed a good wine, and words such as immortal brew, agar jelly, and jade liquid came out of everyone's mouths, and looking at the atmosphere of the banquet and the state of everyone, it seemed that after a few more drinks, everyone was going to be happy and reciting poems.

After all, starting from the Wei and Jin dynasties, the reason why each generation of literati and writers can write so many good poems and articles is that they rely on two liquids, one is ink, and the other is fine wine.
