Volume 3 Life History Chapter 28 Ascending the Phoenix Pavilion

The food of Nanmian looked obviously different from Da Ming, seeing the plates and plates on the table, some of them contained leaves of different colors, some were filled with pickled rodish silk, some were filled with shredded macaroni, and some were filled with some miscellaneous vegetables that could not be named at all. After serving five or six plates of cold dishes without the slightest heat, a plate of hot stir-fried beef and a plate of what looked like a fried meatloaf were served; Wait a little longer, and see a plate of fried shrimp balls on the table, the fried shrimp balls are made by beating the shrimp into a pulp and kneading them into a ball, and then inserting a finger-thick and long sugar cane to fry together, which looks quite peculiar. After the fried shrimp balls were served, several large plates of rice vermicelli were boiled and scooped up in cold water. After the rice vermicelli was served, there were no other dishes.

King Nanmian smiled and asked everyone to play chopsticks, but the two of them looked at each other a little and didn't know how to put the chopsticks. Although they have been coming to Nanmian for several days, these days, under the leadership of Chen Yu, along the way, they have eaten dishes similar to those made by Chen Yu, and the most characteristic food of Nanmian they have ever eaten, in addition to all kinds of hot Nanmian snacks, it is the fruit of Nanmian's specialty. They really haven't eaten the real Nanmian meal.

Concubine Ming saw their thoughts, so she patiently explained them one by one. It turns out that the first condition for eating Nanmian food is to learn to appreciate fish sauce. Dong Wushu and Bei Juese watched Concubine Ming's demonstration, and followed her example to pick up a fried shrimp ball, dip it in some fish sauce and eat it. However, as soon as the two took a bite, they immediately spit out the shrimp balls. That kind of weird taste, the two of them who were born and raised in the Ming Dynasty really couldn't get used to it all at once.

Looking at the performance of the two of them, Concubine Ming said: "I am not used to eating fish sauce for the first time, try it a few times and you will find its deliciousness." ”

Hearing her say this, the faces of North Absolute and East Invincible showed "Isn't it?" at the same time? I want to try". Concubine Ming smiled and said, "Don't force it if you're not used to it, you better use soy sauce." After speaking, she said a few words to the palace people standing on the side, and the palace people immediately went to pour soy sauce.

The soy sauce was quickly poured. When serving soy sauce to Dong Wuving, the sleeves of the palace people accidentally brought the dish of fish sauce on the table and spilled on Dong Wuving's body.

The palace man nervously brought a wet towel to wipe the fish sauce off his clothes for Dong Wuyi. Dong Wushu made a gesture to the palace man, signaling him to wipe it himself.

King Nanmian waved his hand to let the overwhelmed palace people retreat, and then said apologetically: "Donggongzi, I'm really sorry. ”

Dong Wushu smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a small sauce, don't mind." ”

Concubine Ming said: "The fish sauce will have an unpleasant smell when it gets on the clothes, Dong Gongzi, it's better for you to clean up the fish sauce on your body with water." ”

Dong Wushu wiped the stains on his body and said, "It doesn't matter, just go back and change your clothes later." Saying that, but after wiping the stain, he couldn't help but pull up the stained piece of clothing and smell it. Hearing this, his brow couldn't help but furrow slightly.

King Nanmian noticed his expression and thought that he was minding the smell on his body, so he asked tentatively: "Dong Gongzi, why don't you go back and change your clothes now?" ”

Dong Wushu laughed casually and said, "No, this smell is not bad." ”

Hearing him say this, King Nanmian didn't say anything more, but enthusiastically asked Bei Juese to eat this and that.

The atmosphere at the dinner table is becoming more and more harmonious, and Dong Wudi is also smiling to match the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere at the dinner table. No one knew that behind his relaxed smile, there was a not-so-easy mind.

Just now, when he smelled the smell of fish sauce on his clothes, the strange smell reminded him of the mysterious mask man who had fought with him in the palace, and there was also such a smell on the mask man's body, although the smell was very light, but Dong Wushu must be this smell, absolutely yes! In this way, that masked man should be a Nanmian man!

After eating a very distinctive Nanmian court meal, the king of Nanmian was interested in leading the north and the east to visit the Nanmian Palace. Originally, Concubine Ming and the little princess Nanling followed together, but after walking for less than half an hour, Nanling, who was used to taking a nap every day, began to be drowsy, and finally almost fell asleep on the ground while walking, and Concubine Ming had to take her away first.

After walking around the Nanmian Palace for a while, Bei Juese suddenly remembered the place in Feifeng Pavilion, so he asked: "Father, I heard that the place where you can see the most beautiful scenery in Nanmian Palace is called Feifeng Pavilion, right?" ”

King Nanmian was surprised and turned his head to look at Bei Juese, and asked, "Wang'er, do you also know Feifeng Pavilion?" ”

Bei Juese smiled and said, "I heard Concubine Yun say it before. ”

The look on King Nanmian's face darkened for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. He turned his head and looked up at a high pavilion not far away, and said, "Indeed, from the Feifeng Pavilion, you can see the most beautiful Nanmian City. Wang'er, father, this will take you to the Flying Phoenix Pavilion. ”

Soon, the King of Nanmian came to the Flying Phoenix Pavilion with the East Invincible and the Northern Peerless. Feifeng Pavilion is actually a nine-storey octagonal tower, the tower body made of red bricks, the tower cover of glazed tiles, and the eight corners of the tower on the top of the tower each hang a bell with patina.

Each floor of the Flying Phoenix Pavilion houses a different statue, which is carved from mahogany and painted with gold lacquer. According to the king of Nanmian, some of those statues are gods believed in by Nanmian, some are famous heroes in the history of Nanmian, and the eighth layer is enshrined in some special, it is a portrait, which is the map of the founding king of Nanmian galloping on horseback.

Finally, I finally reached the ninth floor. The ninth floor of the Flying Phoenix Pavilion is a little lower than the others, this floor does not enshrine portraits, and the eight walls are made of hollow carved mahogany, and each wall has an arched door leading to the outside of the tower.

Walk outside the tower, the whole picture of the whole Nanmian Palace is fully visible, not only the Nanmian Palace, turn a circle outside the tower, most of the scenery of the Nanmian City is also swept away. Standing in this tower, blowing the wind blowing from all directions, to view the Nanmian City from a condescending angle, only to see that the entire Nanmian City is surrounded by different shades of green, at a glance, it really looks like someone accidentally scattered a handful of warm jade beads on the ground.

King Nanmian said: "No matter what time it is, you can always see the most beautiful scenery of Nanmian here." ”

Bei Juese responded: "It's really beautiful. ”
