Ning Zhao said, this batch of beef and mutton is here to test the water, since it is to test the water, naturally it is not to eat it in his own house, but to let others eat and see, so that he can know how it is.

As a result, Ning's Gudong pot ushered in the first guests in the real sense.

"Your Highness, please inside." Ning Zhaobu walked up the steps and made a gesture of please.

Murong Ji was very surprised when he received Ning Zhao's invitation, and when he really stood at the door of the restaurant, he believed that this was not a dream.

Since that unpleasant incident in the medical hall, there has been some estrangement between Ning Zhao and Murong Ji after all, and Ning Zhao has become a relative, so he can't walk around privately with a man like in the past.

This is the first time that Ning Zhao has invited Murong Ji in the true sense, unlike when he was in the medical hall, Murong Ji himself went to Ning Zhao hotly.

"Madame, please." Murong Ji walked up, arched his hand, and the two walked into the restaurant side by side.

Liu Ji had already asked people to prepare the ingredients, just waiting for the guests to come to the door, seeing that Ning Zhao led people over, Liu Ji played the demeanor of the shopkeeper and hurried up to greet him.

Murong Ji was invited to take a seat, and after a while, several other guests who were invited to the list also came one after another, and when they saw that Murong Ji was also there, they all greeted him warmly, and regretted why he didn't come earlier.

These invited guests, that is, those ministers who were busy sending silver to Qian Zhuang, Kyoto nobles, should always have some shelves, even if they knew Ning Zhao's identity, they didn't want to be too eager, but they didn't want to include Murong Ji, the great god, among the guests invited today.

Murong Ji's expression remained faint, and after dealing with the greetings of the ministers, he took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Ning Zhao.

No one who can be an official is stupid, not to mention that these are all Kyoto ministers who are proficient in temples, looking at Murong Ji's attitude towards Ning Zhao is not ordinary, a few familiar glances at each other, and they feel that their actions to follow the trend are simply too wise.

Silver is important, but what is more important is the future of himself and his family, now is the critical time to stand in line, everyone is waiting to see which side Jin Yuan, who is favored by the old emperor, will stand on.

Now that Ning Zhao personally invited Murong Ji to participate in the banquet, in the eyes of those who care, it was a signal to stand in line.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not early, and the guests have already arrived, so let's start the banquet." Ning Zhao saw that everyone had arrived, and suggested with a smile.

Murong Ji naturally didn't have any opinions, nodded, and sat down with Ning Zhao.

The ministers sat down one by one, talking in low voices, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Until a rich sound penetrated everyone's noses, and I don't know who said 'good fragrance', everyone stopped talking, and all looked out of the wing.

Murong Ji also smelled the fragrance, his eyes flashed, and he was slightly surprised.

As a prince, he was deeply favored by the old emperor, and the delicacies he had eaten were extraordinary, but as soon as this fragrance came out, he was still attracted to attention.

Ning Zhao looked around, very satisfied with everyone's performance, raised his hand, and called out of the box: "Let's serve." ”

The voice fell, the box door was pushed open from the outside, the cicada was full of a proper smile, first blessed everyone, and then turned sideways to get out of the way, and several handsome guys rushed in, led by the mandarin duck pot with the restaurant's signature in his hand.

"This is the signature of the restaurant - Gudong Pot."

Ning Zhao got up and introduced to everyone: "Boil beef bones for two hours as a broth, add red soup seasoning to taste, mix chicken soup in the clear soup to match, clear red matching, light and heavy mouths are suitable." ”

"It smells so good!" Some people couldn't help but praise it.

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the people also nodded in agreement, and some people couldn't help but look at the guy behind him who was holding the ingredients, and asked, "What is that?" ”

Ning Zhao looked at it and explained with a smile: "This is fresh beef and mutton purchased from border herdsmen. ”

As he spoke, Ning Zhao raised his hand slightly, and the little servants quickly brought the ingredients to the table, in addition to the fresh beef and mutton, there were many other ingredients, all kinds of colors, full of dazzling, not only smelling delicious, but also pleasing to the eye.

Some people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and a few people who were close to them were also a little nervous.

Murong Ji is quite calm, after all, he is a royal dragon, even if he is very interested in his heart, he must pay attention to the royal majesty, and he must not behave in a bad manner.

The guys put down the ingredients and quickly retreated, Qing Cicada reached out and closed the door of the box, and the box was quiet again, unlike that, everyone was not whispering, and their eyes were all staring at the coodong pot in the middle of the sandalwood round table.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Ning Zhao looked at Murong Ji and smiled at him.

Murong Ji nodded, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's move the chopsticks." ”

Murong Ji spoke, and the ministers were not restrained, Ning Zhao even personally prepared a small bowl of beef and mutton for Murong Ji, handed it to Murong Ji, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness has a noble status, and you have tasted all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so you might as well try the light side dishes I have here to see if it suits your appetite." ”

Murong Ji was simply flattered, and reached out to take the porcelain bowl handed by Ning Zhao, the fragrance poured directly into the tip of his nose, and mixed with some fragrance between Ning Zhao's sleeves.

Murong Ji glanced at Ning Zhao, and then picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth.

Ning Zhao waited quietly, and the ministers also looked at Murong Ji curiously, seeing that their Royal Highness the King of Chu had not spoken for a long time, the person who picked up the chopsticks and was about to move also paused the chopsticks.

Half an hour later, just as Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, Murong Ji looked at Ning Zhao in surprise, and finally opened his mouth, "It's delicious, it's just like that!" ”

"The meat is tender, silky and delicious, and the umami completely covers the original fishy smell of the mutton." Murong Ji said, picked up another piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, and praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Ning Zhao's brows stretched, and a bright smile suddenly bloomed, and he said, "Thank you Your Highness for your compliment, you can be liked by Your Highness, and the small shop is shining!" ”

The ministers began to stir again in their thoughts, and they all stared at the food boiling in the pot and swallowed.

Murong Ji glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "I am fortunate to be invited by my wife today, this king and all of you are guests, you can do whatever you want, no need to be restrained, let's have a banquet!" ”

Murong Ji spoke, and everyone didn't hold it, and stretched out their chopsticks towards the food they had loved for a long time.

Murong Ji didn't compliment at all, the taste of this Gu Dong pot was indeed as he said, and everyone could still save face at first, but the more they ate later, the more exaggerated they became, and Murong Ji was surprised when he saw it.

Ning Zhao was naturally full of joy.

Inviting everyone to come today is to pave the way for the opening of the restaurant, and the people invited to come this time, except for Murong Ji, although the rest are not as valuable as a few elders, they can also speak in the court.

By the way, the restaurant opened one more trade route, and Ning Zhao was very happy.

The ingredients were sent several times, knowing that it was over, everyone was still unsatisfied, but there was a stomach that was unbearable, and there was a weak heart, Ning Zhao greeted everyone with a smile, and even personally served Murong Ji a dinner until the end of the dinner, which can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts.
