Chapter 21 The Chen Family Banquet

Although the big housekeeper Chen is also a well-informed person, when he saw that my mouth was foaming at the mouth, he blew it out with a lot of care, and he didn't dare to call the shots without permission. He only said: "Master Song, hearing you say this, I really can't be the master of this matter." You wait a moment, you wait a minute. ”

After a while, I first heard the sound of footsteps, and a group of people followed, in fact, the people who came should be dozens of meters away, but I now have excellent hearing, and I can already judge the number of people by carefully arguing the steps in my mind.

I found that in addition to Butler Chen, there were five other people, four of whom landed soundly, walking calmly step by step, and walking at the end in four corners. There is another one in front of the head who walks lightly and walks in front. I think it should be an important figure in the Chen family.

I hurriedly washed the handles, cleaned up briefly, and just stood firm and the person came in.

But I was shocked.

Not because of anyone else, but because of the wrong number of people in front of me.

Originally, I heard that among the people who came, in addition to Steward Chen, there should be five more people, and the total number should be six, however, there were seven people in front of me.

Four of the seven men were guards, sturdy and majestic, and I could tell that the four voices of the steady footsteps just now came from the four of them.

However, what attracted me was the two people in front of them, these two people were forty years old, the first one was dressed in wealth, brocade and jade satin, and the face was as white as jade, the eyes were shining, the jade nose bridge, the black beard on the lips was lightly raised, and the gestures showed the spirit of wealth and nobility, this person had an excellent temperament, and I was the most temperamental person I saw after I arrived in ancient times, just like a modern Confucian merchant with status. I secretly thought that this person is not Chen Xianda, Chen Dashang?

But Chen Dashang was not the person who attracted my attention the most, but the person who attracted my attention the most was a tall man dressed in scribe's clothes beside him.

There is a Sichuan character pattern on this person's eyebrows, so that he is not angry and self-imposing, his eyes are slightly closed and flashed, and the essence is seized, which makes people dare not face it, with a high nose bridge, wide mouth and thin lips, and a fluttering beard, although the clothes are not luxurious, but they can't hide his inner temperament. Looking at its people, like a tiger, but also like a dragon, standing in the crowd, like a mountain towering, always makes people have a feeling of looking up, and can't help but weaken their momentum. If Chen Xianda has temperament, this person is boundless and majestic. Compared with Chen Xianda, it is like a big stone against a mountain.

This scribe is extraordinary!

I was secretly amazed in my heart!

That Chen Dashang was originally a person with an extraordinary temperament, but against the backdrop of this person, it was not so conspicuous.

And this person's footsteps were silent, and I didn't hear it when my ears were so extraordinary.

When I was surprised who this person was, and he had such an extraordinary temperament, the great housekeeper Chen had already praised the person with the temperament of a Confucian businessman: "The head of the family, this is Song Zhanyong, Master Song." ”

Then he turned to me and said, "Master Song, this is the head of my family. ”

The one standing in front of me, as I expected, was Chen Xianda, Chen Dashang.

I was busy saluting Chen Xianda, who was so famous when he saw that I was young, and he didn't neglect me and arched his hand to me.

After I saluted Chen Xianda, I made a special gift to the middle-aged man in the scribe's suit, who looked at me with a smile and stared at me for a long time.

Under the man's gaze, I suddenly felt a kind of real coercion, and I actually felt a kind of soft mentality, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly sighed, stiffened myself, and looked up at the man in the scribe's suit.

The man was slightly surprised, opened his mouth slightly, smiled, and returned the salute.

When I waited for him to laugh, I suddenly felt that my body was light, and the pressure suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't help but wonder: why did I feel such a strange feeling, and there was invisible pressure?

I was thinking about it, but Chen Xianda asked: "Hello Song Jialang, I heard that the housekeeper said that you want to kill the turtle and offer vegetables?" ”

I steadied myself and nodded.

Chen Xianda said: "I have traveled all over the world since I was a child, and I have been to many places, but I have never heard of anyone who dares to kill turtles to eat vegetables, so I want to ask, Da Lang is very particular about killing turtles to take vegetables?" ”

Chen Xianda asked, and the man in the scribe suit also watched and listened, and I secretly thought that these two were different from those people just now. But since I have just said it, there is no reason to take it back now, whatever, isn't it just eating an old turtle, what's the big deal.

Thinking about this section, I smiled calmly and said: "Don't hide it from Chen Dashang, I have been taught by a different person since I was a child, the family teacher is a Taoist master who is deep and easy to count, and the family teacher has learned a lot, but it is a pity that the kid is dull, lazy by nature, and not proficient in learning, only learned the cooking skills, including this method of killing turtles and cooking, because I know that Chen Dashang is not an ordinary family, and the general dishes must not be seen in the eyes." So today I deliberately want to present this mastery of the mastery, please Chen Dashang don't be too careful, this black turtle is killed by my special method, not only will not be riddled with disasters, but also in addition to the delicious and exquisite, after eating, there is also the effect of prolonging life, strengthening muscles and bones, nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys. ”

When Chen Xianda heard that it was really as the housekeeper said, he couldn't help but glance at the man in the scribe suit beside him.

The man smiled and said: "Since this Dalang has this ability, I might as well give it a try, don't hide it from Brother Chen, although I, Huang, have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but I have never eaten this black turtle, today I am fortunate to be able to get the Song family Dalang to kill the turtle and offer vegetables, I really want to try it, what is the taste of this dragon's sixth son." Ha ha. ”

Seeing that the scribe surnamed Huang said this, Chen Xianda immediately made up his mind. Immediately asked me to prepare this black turtle.

I'm not welcome, and immediately set out to kill the turtle.

In fact, I killed this old turtle at home a few times when I went to college, and I learned it from the Internet, just like others said, kill the head and kill the ass, each has its own tricks.

In fact, the most trouble-free way is to stomp down with a kick, stomp the old turtle half to death, and then kill it.

But today is different from the past, first, there are Chen Xianda and the scribe surnamed Huang watching, and second, I have now learned the Hidden Dragon Sword Technique, and I have the confidence to show it.

Therefore, when I took a large turtle and put it on the vegetable table, I just wanted to raise the knife and kill the turtle, when I suddenly woke up and said that there was a spell just now, and I should not forget it.

Then I recited the words in my mouth: "Seek happiness for a hundred lifetimes, enter and exit peace, and turn evil into good ......"

After chattering for a while, I saw Chen Xianda and the scribe surnamed Huang frowning, thinking that this kind of ordinary chatter might not be able to convince the public.

A thought flashed in my heart, and I couldn't help but think: I have let it go, they haven't heard of it anyway.

Thinking of this, the dragon knife in my hand slashed suddenly, and a knife light burst out, and at the same time, the tone was steeply high, and it was already singing: "The dragon knife is on the black turtle table."

The dragon curled the horse, and the long neighing knife was like frost

The heart is like the Yellow River

Who can fight in 20 years

Hatred is mad and the knife is headed

How many black turtles are buried in their hands and feet......"

I sang the lyrics of my best song Jingzhong Serving the Country, because I know that there is no such song in Datang now, and if I sing it like this, I will definitely be able to bluff those two characters who seem to have extraordinary temperaments.

Sure enough, when my tone was not accurate, everyone around me, from the chefs, to Chen Xianda and the scribe surnamed Huang with an extraordinary temperament, were all surprised, and they were all called by me, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

When the song was finished, I saw my hand flipped, and the old turtle was overturned by me. In order to get up, the old turtle naturally stretched out his long neck, like a long snake, and all the chefs who were frightened retreated, even Chen Xianda's feet moved slightly, but the scribe surnamed Huang smiled and was as steady as a mountain.

In the panic of everyone, the dragon knife in my hand waved, only to see the knife flash, the old turtle neck has appeared a thin cut mark, when the blood did not flow out, my dragon knife turned again, like a dragon swinging tail, the blade passed, has cut off the entire cover of the old turtle, and then my wrist was shaken, the body under the cover of the old turtle has been split into four pieces, when the dragon knife dragged out, brought out the internal organs, and threw it directly into the waste bucket next to it.

By this time, the knife had been lightly retracted, and the black turtle had been slain!

These knives are as fast as lightning, flowing with clouds and water, and the precision is abnormal, which is the Hidden Dragon Knife Technique. I was shocked when I saw it, but I didn't expect this hidden dragon knife method to be used in cooking, and it would have this effect! Most of the frightened people around me didn't understand what I had done, but they just thought I was extremely good-looking.

Only the scribe surnamed Huang and Chen Xianda's eyes suddenly lit up, and then they glanced at each other, and then high-fived me at the same time: "Ha, I didn't expect that the Song family not only has superb cooking skills, but also is so skilled in swordsmanship. ”

I put down the dragon knife and hugged my fists and thanked: "Offer ugliness and ugliness, and I hope the two adults don't laugh." ”

Chen Xianda and the scribe surnamed Huang stretched out their thumbs at the same time and praised me, which made me quite useful.

The scribe surnamed Huang said: "This Da Lang is extraordinary, a young hero, it will inevitably get ahead one day, Brother Chen, I will announce that the guest will take the lord once, can you also invite Da Lang to sit down together and drink a few cups together?" ”

I want to invite me to drink and make friends.

I was about to give in, but Chen Xianda did not allow me to refuse, and directly explained to the housekeeper, and when I finished the food, he would invite me to the table and drink together, and treat me as a guest.

Chen Xianda and the scribe surnamed Huang waited for my consent before leaving with the guards, and when the scribe surnamed Huang left, he specially explained to me that he must go.

Since I had just wasted time, I hurried to get to work. Now I am already familiar with cooking, and the fire of the Chen family is extremely strong, and it didn't take me an hour to make twenty or thirty kinds of dishes even with soup and cabbage, plus the traditional dishes of other chefs, which is enough for Chen Xianda to entertain guests.

During this period, Steward Chen also came to invite me twice, and I said that I didn't finish the dish, only until the last dish was done, and Steward Chen was already there staring and waiting for me, and when I was ready, he knew that he didn't need me to do anything more, so he had to take me to drink together.

Steward Chen said: "Master Song, don't you know, those VIPs in the house are very happy to eat, every time you go up to the dish, there is no moment of effort, like a wind and clouds, eat cleanly, everyone applauds, they are asking which master made such a good dish, even our old lady is also praised." And our master has commanded that you must go, and if you don't go, I can't do it. ”

I didn't want to stay, but I couldn't refuse, so I had to go with the housekeeper, wanting to take Lan Ge'er with me, but Lan Ge'er whispered in my ear: "It's all strangers, so I won't go." That, you should pay attention to the surname Huang, you have to deal with it carefully, you see that he is very angry. ”

I heard this and my heart trembled, although Lan Ge'er didn't say it explicitly, but I already felt it, Lan Ge'er was a little afraid of him in his heart. Brother Lan actually felt it.

At the moment, he didn't force Lan Ge'er to go with him. Alone with the butler to the vestibule.

When I came to the vestibule, I saw that there were more than one or twenty tables in the courtyard, and the people at the tables were all dressed richly, which was very different from the clothes of the people I saw in the poor alleys on weekdays, and all the rich businessmen were seated.

I was about to sit down at the last table according to the butler's arrangement, but the scribe surnamed Huang was so enthusiastic that he ran away from the table, took me by the hand, and pulled me to the table where he was sitting.

That's the very central position, the first class. The most dignitaries were there, and I glanced at them, and found that the people sitting there were all dressed in rich and noble clothes, and two or three of them were still wearing official uniforms, so I didn't think that they were people from the official palace.

I couldn't help but hesitate for a while: These are all dignitaries here, and I am a chef, is it appropriate to sit here? No, it's better to change positions.

Hurriedly refused the scribe surnamed Huang. I didn't want Huang Wenshi to ask the servant to pull a chair, press me to his side, and sit down with him.

Because of the large number of people, I knew that I was just a cook, and many merchants and dignitaries might not look up to me as the scribe surnamed Huang, so I didn't talk much, and after nodding and bowing to the people who were sitting, I sat down on half of my buttocks, and didn't dare to sit down.

Rao is like this, one of them is wearing an official uniform, his face is pale, his eyes are thin and his eyebrows are long, and his eagle nose and thin lips are a cautious person who snorted unhappily, and then he opened his mouth to say that he was also wearing a long official uniform, and the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks looked like a villain: "Chen Dongzhu, how can you let the cook come up and sit down, this is not suitable." ”
