Chapter Eighty-Nine: Catch Wang Chengen
When Yue Tuo was brought to the Huangji Hall from the post house by the Jinyi Guard, Wu Xiang was lying on the ground sweating, he originally thought that he was holding the victory and would be able to kill Guan Shanyue, but unexpectedly, the situation was reversed, but he was turned over by this country boy salted fish. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info framing the court officials is a big crime, and framing the court officials in front of the emperor is a capital crime of bullying the king, and his heart suddenly panicked.
He anxiously cast a distressed look at Zhou Yanru, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but Zhou Yanru tilted his head to the side and pretended to turn a blind eye.
On weekdays, he and Zu Dashou went to Beijing to work around, and they bought hundreds of civil and military officials, and what they wanted was that there were people in the court who were good officials and helped them talk when it was critical. But at this time, under Chongzhen's anger, who is willing to risk the world's disapproval, put his own life and future, and stand up to defend him.
was deceived by Wu Xiang once, Chongzhen looked at Yue Tuo, who was tied up with five flowers under the court, although his heart was full of joy, and he had a little bit of a bad breath of being surrounded by the Beijing Division, but he was afraid that he would become the laughing stock of the world if he was a little careless, and after asking Yue Tuo a few questions, he asked the military department to take Yue Tuo and interrogate him carefully.
He didn't know how strong Daning's strength was, thinking that now that Yuan Chonghuan was locked up in Zhao Prison, Liaodong still had to rely on Zu Dashou, and he didn't want to make things too stiff, so he didn't make a decision on the spot. After saying a few words, he said that tomorrow the military department would make a decision after checking the authenticity of Yue Tuo and interrogating him.
This is clearly to cooperate with Sydney, let Wu Xiang go, give him a day to let him go to activities, and find something beneficial to himself to pass the credit.
Wu Xiang was active, and Guan Shanyue was not idle. He knew that those senior officials in the court had pressed the treasure on Zu Dashou, and they didn't look down on him at all, or the things he sent would not have been returned on the spot.
At this time, he could only talk to one person in the capital, and that was Wang Chengen, the old acquaintance of the celebrant and eunuch. After leaving the court meeting, he personally went to deliver the worship post, and asked him to spend a while in the Fuman Building outside the drum tower in the evening.
Wang Chengen smiled slightly and happily agreed.
At sunset, the chefs in the back kitchen of Fumanlou were already busy at this time, and the lobby was also full of friends. But at this time, it was quiet, because today Guan Shanyue spent a lot of money to package the entire restaurant.
Guan Shanyue sat on the big recliner in the back kitchen, drinking the best Qimei black tea personally sent by the restaurant owner, and was discussing with the soldiers what dishes to cook to feast Wang Chengen.
Discuss and discuss, everyone thinks that the capital is the first good place of the Ming Dynasty, this high-ranking eunuch has not eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is better to use the Daning native products he brought to the imperial dining room to feast Wang Chengen. These ingredients are all uncommon ingredients on the market, and what they eat is fresh, which will definitely please Wang Chengen.
In the end, Guan Shanyue drew up a menu with Daning characteristics, using pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed mushrooms, pig-killing vegetables, and sauerkraut pork balls. Stewed pigeon with wild ginseng, whole fish feast made of three flowers, five Luo, eighteen sons and seventy-two miscellaneous fish in the Songhua River, all kinds of sea fish from Kuyi Island, braised venison from the deer department replaced some common mountain and sea delicacies, and the wine is the self-brewed roasted knife of Daning Food Factory, and the dishes of a table banquet are ready at this point.
The chef is one of Guan Shanyue's personal soldiers, and he has always been in charge of the meals of the personal soldiers and Guan Shanyue's family. When he arrived, he became magical, and everyone was willing to watch him show his talents, laughing and listening to his dispatch to prepare the ingredients according to the menu, picking vegetables, cutting meat, and the kitchen was not lively for a while.
Guan Shanyue grabbed Chen Ergou, who was doing nothing, and said with a smile: "The fish in the Songhua River are all live fish transported from the incubator, you go to the market to find a three-year-old black pig for people to kill and send to the back kitchen, and then find six fat chickens that year to send to the back kitchen after the hair is removed, and the pigeons also have to be selected by you, and I don't worry about others." If the prince eats beautifully, he often accompanies the emperor, I will definitely be able to detect some breath, and I will deal with it as soon as possible. The money has always been with you, go quickly, don't miss my big business!"
Chen Ergou's saliva had already come down, how could there be such a blessing on weekdays, he jumped up and down like a monkey in a hurry, and clasped his fists at Guan Shanyue, and said: "Adults, don't worry, wear them for outsiders to see, Ergouzi I am the most particular about eating, and I am a standard glutton, I will go to the market to procure, and you are satisfied!" After saying that, he rushed out like a gust of wind.
Guan Shanyue looked at Chen Ergou's back, smiled at the pro-soldiers present and shook her head, "Look at your anxious looks, when have I ever treated you badly." I'll put the words here first, this dish is everyone's share, and it's full! ”
There was thunderous applause in the back kitchen, if it weren't for the blue wolf's vigorous scolding, it is estimated that these wild boys with male hormones would have been able to lift the roof.
As soon as Wang Chengen and the little eunuch who served him stepped into the private room, the steaming delicacies with Daning characteristics that had been prepared long ago were transmitted by the soldiers one by one, and the aroma immediately filled the entire private room.
Wang Chengen smiled, and stretched out his thumb approvingly at Guan Shanyue, "Lord Guan has opened his eyes today, it stands to reason that I haven't seen anything in my service to Long Live Lord, hey, there are really a few things here that I haven't seen before." I'm not afraid of your jokes, for example, the miscellaneous things on this plate are golden like gold and thin like silver thread, and they don't know what they are, but this cook's knife work is really good, and the length and thickness of the cut are even one yard! As he spoke, he pointed to the vinegared shredded potatoes on his right.
Guan Shanyue laughed secretly in her heart, and hurriedly got up and introduced, "Princess, this is a specialty of my Daning, called potatoes, this dish is called vinegared shredded potatoes, and the boxy ones in the purple casserole over there are also potatoes, and the round ones like plums are sticky potatoes." This is a roasted sweet potato, sweet and soft, and this is ......"
It's vermicelli, that's vermicelli...... After a while, he introduced the entire table of dishes to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen smiled and applauded, "Master Guan, you really have a good mouth, I haven't eaten it yet, just after hearing your introduction, the gluttonous worms in my stomach were hooked by you." The miscellaneous family is very bad on weekdays, but when they see this table full of food, they can't help but be hungry. Guan Daren, the miscellaneous family relies on the old and sells the old once, let's talk while eating! ”
Guan Shanyue had no reason to refuse, with a wave of his hand, the pro-soldiers behind him stepped forward to pour a full bottle of wine for the two, the two exchanged glasses and changed lamps, the more they chatted, the more familiar they became, and after a while, they called themselves brothers and sisters, and they were affectionate like brothers who had not seen each other for decades or many years.
Wang Chengen was intent on getting married to Guan Shanyue, and the two had a good conversation, he held his wine glass and said with a smile: "Burn the knife, a good name, worthy of the name!" This wine is strong, this wine is strong, the miscellaneous family loves the things in this cup, and the wine that I drink on weekdays is simply white water compared to this, and I can't drink such a strong and non-top wine in the capital, good wine, good wine! ”
Guan Shanyue said with a smile: "This was originally to be offered to the saint to taste the wine, and I brought a lot of it, since my father-in-law likes it, I will send twelve altars to the palace father-in-law's mansion, and I also bother the little father-in-law behind you to lead the way." But I don't dare to bother my little father-in-law to run for nothing, this is errand money. As he spoke, he took out a large silver ingot with ten taels from his sleeve and stuffed it into the little father-in-law's hand.
The little father-in-law suddenly smiled, saw that Wang Chengen, who was drunk and confused, nodded, and led Guan Shanyue's personal soldiers back to the palace to send wine with a smile.
