Firecrackers rang in unison, and Sanmao bells rang. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty wore a robe, a jade belt, a boot robe, a dragon mound in the Funing Hall and incense in the temple, praying for a bumper harvest year; The second time to the Tianzhang Pavilion ancestral god palace to make offerings to the ancestors; He returned to the Funing Palace and was congratulated by the queen, the crown prince, the prince, the princess, the lady of the county, the internal officials, and the Ouchi.

He Bi, starting from the Daqing Palace.

Traditionally, New Year's Day gatherings have been held in big celebrations.

The palace can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Four majestic and mighty warriors in armor stood at the corner of the hall and were called the shoguns of the town. The two corridors display the car driver, the halo book, and the honor guard. The military department set up a yellow flag battle of 5,000 people, from the palace gate to the main hall, the Jinwu army held the big battle yellow flag standing inside and outside the main hall, and the hall steps lined up ten cool umbrellas.

The hundred officials have already waited outside the palace gate in turn, until the sky is slightly bright, the stars surround the building chapter, the shrimp and toad are made together, and the people are paging, and the palace officials come to open the palace gate. Hundreds of officials joined forces to enter Miyagi.

The people who participated in the New Year's Day court meeting this time included officials such as the Three Divisions, the Three Princes, the Zaizhi, the Three Provinces, the Xuanhui Academy, the Hanlin Academy, the Six Ministries, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Secretary Province, and the Foreign Minister and Deputy Appointment, as well as the people of Zhulu Juren, as well as the envoys of various countries and domains.

Hundreds of civil and military officials are crowned with court clothes, all roads lift people, the head is also a soldier uniform, the military uniform is a green border white robe, the state marching officials bring local gifts, and there are many New Year envoys from all over the country, such as Xixia, Jiaozhou, Huifu, Khotan, Nanban Wufan, etc.

But there is a group of familiar faces missing, that is, the Great Liao envoys, thinking that the original Great Liao envoys who wore a golden crown, the back tip was as long as a big lotus leaf, wore a purple narrow robe, and wore a golden waist It is impossible to appear here now, in just a few years, this northern country has ended up like this, and people can't help but sigh.

The recently emerging Jin Kingdom was busy completely destroying the Liao Kingdom and did not understand these etiquettes, so they did not send anyone here, but it is said that their envoys were already on their way for the sake of Yanyun, and it is unknown when they will arrive.

They all entered the palace to wait in shifts. Da Le Ling and other musicians stood inside and outside the hall. The cabinet door urges the class. At this time, thousands of officials towered, and the atmosphere was solemn. With the sound of a clear foot and the band playing a peaceful music, Song Huizong arrived on the imperial chariot, turned the jade screen, and sat on the throne. But when he saw Song Huizong, he was wearing a crown and a red robe. It is very majestic, and the king's momentum is undoubted.

The hall was filled with cigarette smoke, and it was a solemn scene.

Because the privy envoy Tong Guan did not return from the expedition, this time Wang Hao alone led a hundred officials to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, performed a dance ceremony, and bowed down many times. The Praetorian Guards shouted loudly like thunder, which was called the thunder around the temple.

Next, it was Brother Yu's turn to appear, and he focused on dressing up today, taking a few steps forward, on behalf of the hundred officials, wishing the emperor a long life, and the sycophants were like a surging river.

Song Huizong listened very happily, smiling, and when Brother Yu finished filming his ass, he stepped forward to announce his reply, which was nothing more than some hypocritical bullshit nonsense, and it was all right to listen to the opposite.

And they all bowed down and danced.

The emperor stepped down from the throne, and the hundred officials and envoys retired.

This is the end of the pilgrimage ceremony, which is similar to the emperor's new clothes.

Next, Song Huizong gave a banquet, and the banquet was set up inside and outside the main hall. Princes, officials of high taste, three divisions, and three dukes, ascended to the palace and sat down, and the others sat under the corridor.

I saw that one after another traditional delicacies were presented, and when it came to food, the Great Song Dynasty was second, and no country dared to call it the first.

This is the moment that the envoys of various countries and some magistrates are most looking forward to, and after waiting for so long, their stomachs are already rumbling with hunger, and if they hadn't estimated their manners, they would have thrown off their arms and started eating, which is the pain of being a courtier. Fortunately, Li Qi didn't participate, otherwise he would have started scolding his mother a long time ago. At this time, Li Qi was eating abalone and ginseng porridge in the imperial dining room, waiting for the Buddha to jump over the wall and come out, so unhappy.

During the banquet, there was nothing more talked about than the unparalleled in the world, after all, there are many people here who have not drunk this unparalleled in the world.

I only heard the person in the corridor exclaim: "Tsk, this world is unparalleled, it's really delicious." ”

Another said: "Needless to say, do you know why this wine is called unparalleled in the world?" ”

"Please advise."

"The world is unparalleled, meaning 'unparalleled, two words, the taste of this wine is ever-changing, two by two together, and can become a new wine, so it is called the world's unparalleled."

"I see. I heard that the person who brewed this world is unparalleled, but the king of the golden knife chef who won the banquet of the four countries. ”

"Exactly, and this person is still a big celebrity in front of the emperor, in less than a year, he has jumped from a cook to a four-grade master, this is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty."

"And this man is at the table?"

"I didn't see him just now, maybe he is in the imperial dining room, he is now wearing many hats, he is also an official envoy, he is also the deputy commander of the guard horse, and he is also the deputy head of the imperial dining room."

"Then this person is really amazing, and the future is limitless."

"Not necessarily, I heard that he offended the king."

"Oh? Then let's not mention it, so as not to have ears on the wall. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

At this time, Zuo Boqing suddenly led a group of maidservants to come up, but saw that each of them was holding a dark gray jar in his hand. Song Huizong knew at a glance that it was the Buddha jumping over the wall, and said repeatedly: "Come, come, you Aiqing have to taste this dish." ”

Some people who don't know are very curious when they see that the emperor is so fond of this dish.

It's a pity that not everyone can eat this Buddha jumping over the wall, and it is only on more than ten tables. Those lifters under the corridor are not qualified at all.

I saw that after the maid opened the lid of the altar, she opened the top lotus leaf, and when she boarded a strong wine fragrance, she came to her face, straight into her heart, and the incense went out of the hall and floated along the corridor, which was really fragrant and floated in four seats.

When those people heard it, they couldn't help but salivate, poked their heads out and looked into the hall, only to see those maids and maids from the altar with bowls of thick brown soup, and heard Cai Jing say: "This soup is thick but not greasy, it is really superb." ”

"What Aiqing said is very true." Song Huizong laughed, and asked Zuo Boqing again: "Boqing, why is the fragrance of this Buddha jumping over the wall so strong, it is even more delicious than the last time I ate it." ”

Zuo Boqing replied: "If you go back to the emperor, this Buddha jumping over the wall has abalone, scallops, bamboo clams, and turtle skirts in it. There are a total of 24 kinds of ingredients, six more than last time, and in addition, all the jars used in this jar are jars that hold high-quality rice wine, so the fragrance will be even stronger. ”

When everyone heard that twenty-four ingredients were put in this dish, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"I see." Song Huizong nodded and said, "By the way, why didn't Li Qi come?" ”

Zuo Boqing replied respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, the official Yan envoy is still making cakes at this time, and it is estimated that he will come later." ”

Song Huizong nodded slightly and didn't ask any more, stretched out his hand, and said, "You Aiqing will share this Buddha jumping over the wall with me." ”

After Song Huizong moved the chopsticks, the rest of the people started one after another, and when they ate, they felt that the aroma of the wine was mixed with various aromas, the aroma was pleasant, rotten but not rotten, and the aftertaste was endless.

Since this Buddha jumped over the wall, everyone has turned a blind eye to those traditional dishes, because this Buddha jumping over the wall almost covers all kinds of delicacies, especially the two-headed abalone, bamboo clams, and turtle skirts are even more edible but not greasy, and the food is in full swing.

Wu Min suddenly said: "The taste of this dish can be described as excellent, but why is the name of this dish called Buddha jumping over the wall, is there any mystery in it?" ”

Song Huizong was interested, and he explained the origin of the Buddha jumping over the wall with high interest.

After hearing this, everyone nodded frequently, feeling that it was not an exaggeration to attract monks to return to the vulgar with this fragrance.

Li Bangyan suddenly said: "I heard that in the Drunken Immortal Residence, this Buddha jumping over the wall is only ranked second, and the dish that ranks first is called 'Wuxiang, but no one has tasted it so far." ”

Some officials who had just entered Beijing could not help but let out an exclamation.

Song Huizong haha: "This 'Wuxiang, it's not simple, and the price is enough to scare people to retreat." ”

"Price?"

Li Bangyan said with a smile: "The price of this 'phaselessness' is priceless. ”

Invaluable? Everyone was even more puzzled, why did you take it out and sell it since it was priceless, no one could eat it anyway.

At this moment, there was another commotion outside.

"Look, that short-haired man is the Golden Knife Chef."

"This hair is really peculiar."

I saw two little eunuchs pushing this wooden cart and following Li Qi to the door of the main hall, because there was a big cover on the wooden cart, no one knew what was inside.

The three of them saluted Song Huizong.

"No courtesy." Song Huizong said with a smile: "Li Qi, what is on the car is the birthday cake." ”

Birthday cake? Why should I make a birthday cake and no one has a birthday? Li Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is a cream cake specially prepared by Weichen for this New Year's Day court meeting, called 'Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow,'" As he spoke, he lifted the cover.

Everyone gasped.

I saw the five "big mountains" connected together under the cover, and the "mountain" was all white snow, and the bottom was blue-green, like jade, crystal clear, looking at it from afar, it was like the peaks and peaks towering green, endless, and magnificent.

Song Huizong was surprised: "This-this is a cake?" Why is it completely different from what I have seen before? ”

Li Qi saluted and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen first asked Zhang Daxue to help Weichen draw a picture of the mountains, and then Weichen divided the mountains into several parts, and then made a mold according to the figure, put the cake into the mold like an oven, and after baking, take it out again, and combine this piece of cake with butter, and the cream and fruit pulp on the picture make this thousand mountains and twilight snow."

Moreover, this cake also has three flavors, which are mixed with candied fruit, nuts and fresh fruit. ”

Why is the dish made by this golden knife chef always incredible. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think of the last time Li Qi made "the sun and the moon compete for brilliance, swallowing mountains and rivers", and the two have the same effect.

Song Huizong laughed, glanced at Zhang Zeduan, and said, "Righteousness, if you go to cook, then you have a unique advantage." ”

Zhang Zeduan saluted and said: "The emperor has won the award, in fact, it is not very difficult to draw a picture of these mountains, but to make the food like this, it is really difficult to go to the sky, Weichen thinks that he can't do it, I'm afraid that in the whole world, only Guan Yan can do it." ”

Song Huizong laughed and said, "Present it." ”
