Chapter 725: Special Banquet

When Chen Xu came to the kitchen, all the steaks for the lunch had already been marinated, the barbecue grill and clay plates for frying meat had been set up, and the pepper sauce had been prepared.

After Chen Xu inspected it, he ordered to start frying the steak, and a group of chefs and kitchen workers suddenly became busy in an orderly manner.

In the restaurant, several long tables put together, knives and forks for eating steaks, and tall glasses for drinking have also been placed neatly, and all the utensils are shiny and shiny, and there are several huge glass wine vessels in the middle, which are used to decant wine, which looks not much different from the Western restaurants of later generations.

It's really good, there will never be so-called Western food in the future, eating steak with a knife and fork is also invented by the Chinese, the source of the world's diet is in China, Westerners, let them learn the third brother to eat pilaf!

Chen Xu was very satisfied, looked at the servant girls standing on both sides respectfully, and waved his big hand and said, "Pour all the red wine into the wine cup to decompose, and invite the guests to the table by the way!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" A group of servants saluted in unison.

"Haha, it's finally time for Hou Ye's food!" Soon there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the restaurant, mixed with Li Xin's hearty laughter.

A group of people playing mahjong in the living room followed a few servants striding forward, each with excited smiles on their faces, and then entered the door, and was stunned by the long dining table in front of them and the neat array of utensils placed on it.

I've seen glasses, but I've never seen glasses with such tall legs and thin legs.

I've never seen a super large cup full of red wine, and it shines brightly in the pillars of light shining through the glass tiles of the roof, and there is an intoxicating aroma of crisp wine floating in the air, and the fruity aroma of grapes is also interspersed.

I have never seen the knives, forks and cutlery on the table, one by one shiny and neat.

"Tsk, Hou Ye is not only a master of food, this dining utensils are also unique, cups, knives and forks are exquisite, it seems that this meal must be a unique taste in the world, I can't wait to taste it!"

The group of people who came in were amazed, stunned by the layout and furnishings on the table, and they all gathered around the table to look at these exquisite tableware, while Li Xin picked up a pair of knives and forks and looked over and over again.

"Everyone, please, Ben Hou doesn't like to talk about messy rules, so everyone sits casually, because today's luncheon is to eat large pieces of beef, so these special knives and forks are needed, the kitchen is already preparing, and you can taste it soon!"

Chen Xu smiled and sat down on a large chair at the end of the dining table, and Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan sat on the left and right sides.

A group of maids also moved their chairs to invite the guests to the table, Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei were also arranged on the right hand side of Chen Xu, Li Xin, Jiang Hu, Jiang Bu, Yingbu, Zhang Cang, Xu Fu, Chen Ping, Yang Kun, Hu Kuan, Sun Shujiong, Gong Shengsheng, Ma Gong and others all consciously sat down from left to right according to their respective titles, just enough to fill a large table.

"Fill up the wine with the guests first, and notify the kitchen that the food is ready to be served!" Seeing that everyone was seated and began to talk and discuss excitedly, Chen Xu instructed the maid to start pouring wine and serving food.

Soon, the red wine was placed in front of everyone by the maid who divided the wine in a small bamboo tube and placed in front of everyone, and all the people seated looked at this strange crystal goblet and didn't know how to start, and they all looked at Chen Xu with a slightly restrained expression.

Chen Xu raised his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him with a thin handle: "Drink and feast, just be casual, you don't have to be restrained, just like you like to drink as you like on weekdays, today's food and wine are full, come, everyone drink a cup to moisten your throat!" ”

"What Hou Ye said is, we are just a group of vulgar people, we usually hold swords, bows and crossbows, when we eat meat and drink wine, although this cup is exquisite, we will wait for the coarse porcelain cup at that time, come, everyone drink together, Xie Qinghe Hou today's food and wine hospitality!" Li Xin stood up and raised his wine glass.

At this table today, except for Chen Xu, who has the highest status, he is Li Xin's oldest seniority, and the rest of the people are all newly rising or rising nobles in Daqin, but Li Xin does not dare to show it at all, because these people have a deep relationship with Chen Xu except for themselves, Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu do not say, the two of them have obviously taken refuge in Chen Xu, Chen Ping, Yang Kun and Zhang Cang can all be regarded as Chen Xu's disciples, all of them are people who are in the limelight in Daqin at the moment, in terms of Daqin's influence, It was much more violent than him, a hereditary marquis.

Not surprisingly, more than a dozen people at this table may enter the marquis class in the future.

And with the help of this group of people, coupled with the aura of Chen Xu's own immortal disciples, the convergence will inevitably be a super force that will affect the situation of the entire Great Qin in the future.

Since Chen Xu arrived in Xianyang, Li Sifeng's momentum is weakening day by day, although the power has not changed at the moment, but whether it is the court or the people, the most talked about is not these three Shangqing, not even the emperor, but the Marquis of Qinghe, as well as Daqin Metropolis Daily, the Academy of Literature, cement, four-wheeled roads, buses, etc., and even Chen Xu's words and actions may be talked about for a long time.

A few days ago, Chen Xu rode a horse and let the bamboo kite fall and fell and was injured, this incident made the hearts of the entire Xianyang people pull up, many people were at home to Chen Xu's spiritual position to burn incense and pray for Taiyi Immortal Venerable to bless his disciples, and the most nervous was a group of people who followed Chen Xu and all the businessmen who participated in the construction of Dongfang Road, all of them nervously pinched a lot of sweat, and gathered together to discuss countermeasures, until they heard that Qinghehou was only slightly injured and bruised his skin and breathed a sigh of relief, and then many businessmen went to the Taiyi Temple outside the city to burn incense and kowtow, Give a lot of money to the temple to expand the temple, hoping to use his sincerity to move the Taiyi Immortal Venerable to bless Chen Xu, bless their big benefactor and the hope of turning over in the future.

If Chen Xu is good, then all the people who participated in the construction of Dongfang Road are good, and they will all get rich.

If Chen Xu has three longs and two shorts, the road construction will inevitably be repeated, and the future will be as unclear as muddy water.

Many people have invested their entire wealth or even coffin books.

This bet cannot afford to lose.

Therefore, for all businessmen, the emperor can have three long and two short, but Qinghe Hou absolutely cannot, the emperor will die and change his son to be the emperor, but Qinghe Hou has only one in the world, and he is the only person who can support Shangjia, he must live well.

After a glass of wine, after putting down the glass and sitting down, many people are staring at the door of the restaurant, because a glass of wine is in their stomachs, and there are no dishes on the table, so they feel even more hungry.

And just as everyone was waiting for it, as a strong and strange fragrance wafted into the dining room with the wind, many people felt drooling at once, and their hearts could no longer suppress their hungry souls, and some of them even stood up regardless of etiquette.

With the sound of footsteps, a group of maids came in with wooden plates and clay plates with lids, and walked to each guest.

"Master, be careful of burns!" The maid whispered, and then carefully placed the wooden pallets in front of everyone.

"It's so fragrant~"

The lid was not opened, but everyone was already agitated by the strong fragrance of the food in the pottery plate, and they all looked directly at the pottery plate in front of them and began to swallow saliva, even Fan Caiwei, who had always looked indifferent, became nervous and uneasy, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then secretly glanced at Chen Xu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my latest black pepper steak, marinated in the best fresh beef, and then fried with a special spice that several generals such as Di Daohou and Yinshan Hou snatched from the Xiongnu, the taste is fresh and fragrant, and it is really a rare delicacy in the world......"

"Hou Ye Mo said it, I can't stop my saliva when I wait!" Before Chen Xu's words were finished, Li Xin, who was sitting on the left, couldn't wait to reach out and open the lid of the pottery plate.

With a hot breath rising into the air, a spicy and strange rich fragrance instantly diffused in the restaurant, only to see a large piece of beef in the palm of the hand still in the clay plate slightly popping sound, poured on a black sauce, the smell is not only appetizing, but also the soul is restless.

"Hiss~" Li Xin's eyes widened and he took a breath, and a wisp of saliva dripped down the corner of his mouth.

"This black pepper steak should be eaten while it is hot, the meat will become hard when it is cold, please ~"

Chen Xu stretched out his hand to uncover the lid of the pottery plate in front of him, and reached out to help Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan also uncover the lid, the guests who came to the banquet couldn't wait at this time, and they all reached out to open the lid one by one, accompanied by a stream of fragrant heat rising into the air, and the entire restaurant was instantly filled with a strange fragrance, and the sound of swallowing saliva came and went.

"Thank you, husband!" After Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan thanked each other, they each reached out to pick up their knives and forks and began to cut the steak elegantly.

"Eat it hot, please!" Chen Xu also grabbed the knife and fork.

As soon as everyone saw Chen Xu and Meng Wanying's movements, they all followed Xianxue, picked up the knife and fork, and began to cut off a piece with a knife.

Li Xin, Jiang Hu and several other martial artists were used to eating meat and drinking wine, so they directly cut off half of the piece, held four drops of beef with sauce and sent it into their mouths to bite and chew.

"Hmm...... Delicious, so delicious...... I didn't expect beef to be so tender and fragrant! ”

"Incense...... It's so fragrant, it's full of fragrance, it's definitely the best delicacy in the world......"

"Delicious...... Delicious......"

In the midst of everyone's praise, there was no one at the table who still had the leisure to chat, and all of them began to concentrate on the steak with their knives and forks, and the whole restaurant could only hear the sound of cutting, chewing and swallowing.

"Sister, this steak is so delicious!" Fan Caiwei whispered to Fan Caiying while eating.

Fan Caiying didn't speak, she elegantly cut a small piece of beef into her mouth, a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Chen Xu, watching him cut meat for Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan next to him, watching Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan feed a small piece of beef to Chen Xu's mouth, with an indescribable smile on her face, as if satisfied and lost, and then her movements gradually slowed down.
