Chapter 38: Preparing for the Feast
It's okay if Jia Yi doesn't explain, this explanation, the county official's face is even darker, and someone came to the Lin Mansion to tell you, you really think that your Lin Mansion is the Guogong Mansion, and other national officials have personally told you in the past, even if it is a post, you are a small businessman's house, and the Guogong Mansion will personally go to your mansion to tell you about it.
"You two rammed the goods, and if you don't take the person for me, you will be put in prison!"
The two officials were shocked by the name of Yiguo Gong before, although they felt that this matter was somewhat credible, but from the conversation between Jia Yi and the county official just now, the two of them also felt that Jia Yi was completely crazy and then took the county official for entertainment, and stood up to the county official's orders, so naturally he didn't say a word, and stepped forward and pressed Jia Yi on the spot with one hand.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts, tap, tap."
"Dare to be a slave, dare to entertain my master, are you really so good at being in prison?"
"I'll entertain your sister......"
"Bold and crazy slave, how can you defile the innocence of your sister......"
“……”
In the end, the county magistrate still felt that this matter was a bit strange, and did not let the two officials take Jia Yi directly to prison, but escorted him to the lobby.
"Let me ask you if what you said before is true or false."
Jia Yi was angry, the fox and fox fake tiger power can deter the beasts, bare their teeth, and let the beasts run, how can this be exchanged for his own banner of pulling Qin Qiong, but it almost made people fold their arms, rubbing their sore arms, Jia Yi looked at the county official sitting behind the lobby angrily, and said casually: "Believe it or not." ”
“……”
If this were something else, a little house slave would dare to speak like this to a county official, although the county official could not dismantle him, it was still very possible for him to sit in prison.
Holding back the anger in his heart, the county official had no choice but to say: "Okay, this county will believe you for the time being, and you can tell me when Yiguo Gong will come to this county and where will he eat the braised pork?" ”
"That's why I'm here." Since you believe it, then let's talk about the business, Jia Yi sorted out the clothes that were a little dirty because he was pressed to the ground just now, and then continued: "The day after tomorrow, the Yiguo Gong is about to come to Duqu County, even though my Sifang Inn has a place for the Yiguo Gong to eat, but after all, it is a mixed place, if there is any accident, my Sifang Inn can't afford it, therefore, I dare to borrow the county magistrate's county government to use, left and right is to have a meal, I believe that after eating, the Yiguo Gong will set off for Chang'an, I won't borrow the county office for too long. ”
Huangkou Xiaoer's tone is not small, the county government can borrow it if you say it, if it is really Yiguo Gong who comes, it will be fine, if Yiguo Gong does not come, this county will kill you little bastard.
The county magistrate thought about it, and felt that this matter would rather be credible than not, so he simply believed in Jia Yiyi first, and just waited until the day after tomorrow, if Yiguo Gong came, then he would treat him well, naturally there would be no mistake, if he didn't come, he would give Jia Yi a hard beating, and he wouldn't let him run away, to everything in it, the county official nodded and said: "Okay, the county government can borrow you, but if the day after tomorrow Yiguo Gong has not come to Duqu County, I will definitely let you know that my county government's board is not so easy to bear." ”
"Okay, if it's okay, I'll go back and prepare, you guys also prepare, pack up a big place and come out."
“……”
The county magistrate really wanted to kill Jia Yi in the lobby, but for the arrival of the acquired Yiguo Gong, who didn't know the truth or falsehood, he decided to endure it.
Now that the banner has been pulled up, just waiting for the appearance of the colorful tiger of Yiguo Gong, Jia Yi pondered that if there was only one dish at a banquet, it would inevitably be a little too shabby, and it was not such a thing, so it was better to simply make a few more dishes, anyway, rapeseed oil is ready-made, just think about what to fry.
Whether you can catch Qin Qiong's line depends entirely on the quality of the food the day after tomorrow, Jia Yi thought about it, scooped out a bowl from the sack where the peanuts were collected, felt a little too much, put it back a little, looked at the bowl was fuller, and picked some and threw them back into the bag, after a toss, the small half bowl of peanuts that looked wilted became the ingredients of Jia Yi's meal the day after tomorrow.
The delicacy of Kung Pao Chicken, only with spicy chili peppers, can reflect the true meaning of this dish, but this year the chili peppers do not know where they are, since there are no chili peppers, there is no chili peppers, anyway, the Kung Pao Chicken without chili peppers tastes good.
Fried peanuts are definitely a superb delicacy, you must know that for a drinker, there is no need for any other messy dishes, as long as a plate of fried peanuts, you can dry into a pound of liquor,.
Counting the braised pork, then counting the stewed meat, there is also a plate of fried lamb with green onions, and a few side dishes, it should be almost the same, after all, Zhang Daren only said that Qin Qiong would come, and it would be good to be able to eat so many dishes in terms of his meal, Samsung Du Kang is ready, and this table of dishes is ready.
These things can only be made freshly to fully express their unique fragrance, and after Jia has prepared everything, he finishes his work and only waits for the day after tomorrow.
In the evening, Jia Yi told everyone about this matter, and everyone, including Mr. Lin, was so shocked by this amazing news that he sat up from his chair and looked at Jia Yi in a daze, with a happy smile on his face unconsciously.
"Jia Yi, I know that you still have a lot of good dishes that you haven't made, so don't hide your secrets the day after tomorrow, and get them all out for Old Master Qin to taste." As a businessman, Mr. Lin was fortunate enough to be favored by the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally had to do his best to die, and this began to guide Jia Yilai.
"Master, I've prepared all the ingredients, and it's enough to cook four or five dishes the day after tomorrow......"
", how can four or five dishes be enough, make all the dishes you are good at, only in this way can we express our respect for Old Master Qin."
Look, the old man is worthy of being an old man, his eyes are very vicious, and the words he said are directly on the point, if Jia Yi can still make any delicious food in the future, let Qin Qiong know, there must be no good fruit to eat from Jia Yi, and you dare to hide your privacy when treating a prince, do you still want to be good?
"Okay, don't worry, master, the day after tomorrow, I will definitely take out all my skills to ensure that Old Master Qin is satisfied with his food and eats happily."
"That's right."
The next day, all day, everyone, including Jia Yi, began to prepare for tomorrow's banquet, all kinds of materials were ready, what should be cut, what should be pickled, all the materials were properly done, and only need to be fried tomorrow. In order to ensure that there would be no accidents with these materials, Old Man Lin also specially ordered them to be put into the ice cellar.
Early in the morning of the third day, Jia Yi was dreaming, and was dragged off the bed by Mr. Lin, he was in a daze and didn't understand what was going on, he felt that his body was moving, when a cold linen cloth covered his face, this was a complete awakening, that is, at this time, he found that he was carried in the direction of the county office.
Jia Yi, who couldn't cry or laugh, even began to pray that Qin Qiong must come today, otherwise he would have to be dismantled.
"You don't have to ask about everything today, you just need to fry the vegetables well, save your physical strength now, rest for a while, the county government has already someone to watch on the road, as long as the honor guard of Yiguo Gong appears, ten miles away from Duqu County, you start to stir-fry." It was the county magistrate who spoke, which made Jia Yi very surprised that he was still full of disbelief before, why did he have a posture of complete belief today.
nodded, don't care what others think, anyway, now I am the most taken care of, let me rest well, I just didn't sleep well in the morning, and it is not bad to sleep back.
Jia Yi was sitting on the chair here, and he was about to fall asleep, and he didn't know which one of the heartless eyes snorted, and almost scared Jia Yi under the chair.
"The Guogong honor guard, the Guogong honor guard has entered Duqu County within ten miles."
When the county magistrate heard this, his excited expression suddenly covered his entire face, and without saying a word, he kicked Jia Yi's ass hard, this kick was more effective than anything else, and the meaning was so obvious, and he went to fry the vegetables in a slippery manner.
Jia Yi had never seen the scene of the Tang Dynasty's Guogong traveling, and he really wanted to see it, but today's first task was to stir-fry, so he was destined to miss the opportunity to have this kind of long insight.
Originally, there were only five ingredients for the dishes, but after the unanimous decision of Mr. Lin and everyone in the Lin family, they added more than 20 kinds of dishes, stir-fried, fried, boiled, stewed and steamed, almost complete.
Jia Yi cooked non-stop, and did it for an hour, which can be regarded as stir-frying all the dishes, unlike the Lin Mansion, what was prepared in the county government was a low table, which means that these dishes were completely for Qin Qiong to eat alone, and others only had to see them.
After a long time, it has been almost two months since Jia Yi came to the Tang Dynasty, and he really hasn't seen what Qin Qiong looks like, and now he sees the bustle at the gate of the county office, he wants to stretch his head to take a look, but a bright long knife is on his neck, thanks to the county official who found it early, otherwise Jia Yi would have been pulled to the back office at this time, and the knife clicked.
"There's something wrong with today's battle." Looking at the honor guard that obviously didn't look like the etiquette of the national government, the county official knocked on the side and asked Jia Yi, who knew the original matter.
"Don't look at me, I don't know, I know that Old Man Qin is coming over today, and I don't know anything else."
Seeing that Jia Yi really didn't know, the county magistrate had no choice but to cheer up 120,000 points of spirit and prepare to welcome the arrival of the Guogong.
