Chapter 60: Taste
"Caiqing, you see I'm right." Chu Zhen shook his head and smiled, helped Chu Jue to sit down against the railing, and instructed the servant to bring a hot towel and gently wipe his red and sweaty cheeks.
"Don't worry, just let Wenyu rest for a while and take some breath." Gao Shilin smiled apologetically.
Chu Zhen also felt reasonable, and ordered the servants to take care of Chu Jue carefully, boiled a bowl of thick soup by the way, turned around and drank with Gao Shilin, since the last time he participated in the banquet, Chu Zhen has consciously increased his drinking, after more than a month of exercise, he finally recovered a fraction of the previous level, more than a dozen cups of belly, although his face was slightly red, but his mind was very sober.
After drinking a few glasses, the two also felt that it was too monotonous, Gao Shilin Gan proposed to play the wine order, the wine order refers to the game when the banquet is drinking, I don't know which dynasty it originated from, but since the Tang Dynasty, it has prevailed among the literati, and the rules of the wine order are generally connected with poetry, if it is not right, then punish yourself with a glass of wine.
"Jing Chun, what are you going to do?" Gao Shilin smiled, a look of competitiveness on his face.
"If you want a flower to fall silently, one after another ancient person who has something to do with this flower, this ancient person must lead to another ancient person, the former ancients asked the later ancients one thing, and the later ancients wanted to answer with poems, asking for a series of links before and after, what does Caiqing think?" Chu Zhen blinked and chuckled, Jiu Ling Daquan didn't know how many times he had proofread it, and Gao Shilin was asking for trouble this time.
"Naturally, I'll come first." Gao Shilin did not object, his eyes turned slightly, he muttered for a moment, and immediately smiled: "The snowflakes fell silently, and when I looked up and saw Bai Qi, Bai Qi asked Lian Po: Why don't you raise geese?" Lian Po said: The white hair floats in the green water, and the red anthurium plucks the clear waves, what does Jing Chun think? After reading it, Gao Shilin smiled proudly and looked at Chu Zhen provocatively.
The rules of the wine order are set by themselves, and Chu Zhen can of course answer them fluently: "The pen flower fell silently, looked up and saw Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong asked Uncle Bao: How not to plant bamboo?" Uncle Bao said: Only three or two roots, the breeze is naturally enough. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and raised their wine glasses together, after taking a sip, of course Gao Shilin would not be so easily convinced, and then you and I will act on the wine order, although Gao Shilin's talent is not shallow, but where can it compare to the accumulation of thousands of years of Chu quality, and if he didn't say a few words, he was immediately defeated.
"A little lovesickness and two sorrows, three or four times to the heart." After punishing himself with a glass of wine, wiping the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, Gao Shilin immediately changed the rules of the wine order, first chanted, and then explained: "With the number as the order, until it receives ten, it must be carried up and down to become a poem." ”
"The Five Classics are lazy to read the spring words, and the songs of the six continents will take advantage of the night tour." Chu Zhen smiled and agreed, and answered casually.
"Qixi Festival is an amorous crossing, and the eight winds may not have the intention to stay." Gao Shilin continued without thinking, his brain began to work, and it was not difficult to see the situation, what kind of order should be issued later.
"The nine-curved railing is leaning all over, and the ten-mile long sky is smiling and sealing." The melodious voice sounded, but it was not Chu Zhi's butt, I saw Chu Juejun's face showing a ruddy color, and he stood up with his hands on the railing, his eyes blurred and sober.
"Wenyu, it's okay." Chu Zhen happily helped Chu Jue sit down and instructed the servants to bring up the thick soup that had been boiled.
"It's okay, this wine tastes so good, I'm going to have another drink." Chu Jue wiped the hot sweat on his forehead with a towel, a smile appeared on his ruddy and handsome face, and the dizzy feeling seemed to be very comfortable.
"One more drink, I'm afraid you're going to spend the night here." Gao Shilin said with a smile.
Chu Jue ignored Gao Shilin's ridicule, carefully took a few sips of hot soup, the ruddy on his face seemed to have faded a little, and said as if pleading: "Second brother, I still want it." ”
There was a glint in the innocent and innocent eyes, with deep longing, Chu Zhen could finally be sure that Chu Jue must be drunk, otherwise he would not have pleaded with himself in such an almost child-like tone.
"Wenyu." Chu Zhen sighed lightly, pointed at Gao Shilin and said, "Let him drink all the wine, you don't want it." ”
Receiving the look from Chu Qian's envoy, knowing that there was still more than a pound of wine in the jar, Gao Shilin still said very seriously that this was indeed the case, and he had no choice but to accept the scolding glance from Chu Jue.
"Wenyu don't be disappointed, next time let Caiqing send Tan Chun brew to you, and you should apologize." Chu Zhen comforted and said, Chu Jue agreed in disappointment, and didn't see Gao Shilin's resentful eyes, these two brothers were really too much, obviously treating themselves as their money bags.
"Mr. Qian, I have already raised the coals according to your instructions." A servant approached the pavilion and said.
"Coals? Jing Chun ....... Gao Shilin was a little puzzled, and looked at Chu Zhen in confusion.
"Come with me." Chu Zhen smiled mysteriously, picked up Chu Jue, who was a little dizzy, and took Gao Shilin to the small waterhole at the bottom of the waterfall, only to see that on the boulder on the edge of the waterhole, a simple stove had been erected, and the charcoal inside had been burned hot, and the color was dark red but there was no trace of fire.
Near the stove, lotus leaves are used as a tray, and all kinds of game that have been processed are placed, some game meat pieces are skewered with slender bamboo strips, and there are a few sharp knives that flicker in the cold light, and several jars and jars next to them are obviously filled with salt, oil, sauce, vinegar, cumin and other ingredients for seasoning.
"Jing Chun, what are you?" Looking at the situation, Gao Shilin also guessed a few points, but he was not sure, after all, there were instructions in ancient times, gentlemen are far away from cooking, and literati may have no prejudice against chefs, but they despise literati to cook with spoons.
"The ancient sages couldn't bear to kill, so they had the training of a gentleman to cook far away, but the sages also said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, Yan Hui also cooked for the Confucian sage back then, how can the descendants praise it, and the people take food as the sky, how can a gentleman be separated from the kitchen." Chu Zhi said casually, skillfully picked up a string of meat pieces and roasted them on the coals, scattering seasonings such as oil and salt from time to time, and after a while, the tempting aroma filled the air.
"What Jing Chun said is reasonable, and let me try." Gao Shilin is not a person who eats ancient times, seeing Chu Zhen skillfully grilling meat pieces, elegant movements, and seems to be very interesting, he is also a little tempted, and when he is interested, where do he take into account what ancient precepts, he picked up a string of chicken wings and barbecued them with great interest.
From a small brocade to jade food, Gao Shilin's barbecue experience can be imagined, as soon as the fresh chicken wings are in his hands, they will soon become a string of charcoal, looking at Chu quality has been grilled, exuding bursts of aroma, bright and attractive pieces of meat, so that Gao Shilin is envious.
Taking the meat skewers handed by Chu Zhi, Chu Jue hesitated, took a bite carefully, and under Gao Shilin's gaze, he suddenly picked up a string of meat pieces and put them on the coals to roast them, but his mouth did not stop, and he wiped out the meat skewers in his hands as quickly as possible.
