Chapter 136: Swallow's Winged Seat
Things in the world are sometimes so coincidental, Guo Xing'a just walked to the gate of Yi County in the evening, and made up his mind to pass by, and Guo Xing'a didn't care about setting up the camp two miles away from the city. Lord Zou Chuan, the county of Yixian County, had already received the letter from Wang Wen's report, and rushed to the camp with a batch of wine and meat to the labor army.
"The lower official has prepared a little thin wine in the ya, and I respectfully ask the co-leader to appreciate it!" Zou Chuan is a big fat man who looks absolutely not less than two hundred and fifty pounds, but he is also quite tall, and Guo Xing, who is already tall, has to look up to him, and Zou Chuan conservatively estimates that he must be nearly one meter nine tall. So this civil official doesn't look bloated, but has some cute meanings, much like a kung fu panda.
"We're tired, let's have a chance next time!" Saishan'a refused very simply, and tomorrow the department will be able to get out of Yixian, and there is really no need to give this face.
"The fathers and elders of Yixian County have a heart of fist, and I hope that the Lord will be fulfilled!" Zou Chuan arched deeply towards Guoxing'a.
"Alright! Let's go over all the officers who will take turns in a while! Get acquainted, and everyone will be lively together! "Guo Xing'a is not very used to the feeling of being begged for, and then he thinks that this big fat guy must eat well.
"Thank you, sir!" Zou Chuan's smile is very cute.
Saishan'a and the others wondered why Guo Xing'a would give face to this sesame mung bean official, didn't he say okay, don't you care about idle things that don't make money? Guo Xing's idea is actually very simple, as the so-called don't eat for nothing, Guo Xing'a just wants to taste what the banquet of the Qing Dynasty tastes like.
Since the crossing, Guoxinga has been living in the war zone, and the food is poor, even if there is a fat cook later, it is difficult to have any delicious food if there is a lack of salt and oil. And the fat cook's craftsmanship is light, and the tongue from the north is really not used to it. Yixian is in Shandong, which can be regarded as a real Lu cuisine, and Guoxinga is very interested in tasting it. Guoxing Ah doesn't think that eating one meal of you will help you fight, and a meal can be worth a few dollars.
Before nightfall, Guo Xing'a took a group of subordinates who took turns to rest into the county seat, although Zou Xianzun said that he was in the ya, but in fact he was in a quiet garden in the city. After Guo Xing'a entered the garden, he took the sisters to visit under the guidance of Zou Xianzun, and then was let to sit in the living room. Guo Xing'a looked at the table, there were all small plates, a total of sixteen plates, which were four dried fruits: big flat, raisins, ginkgo seeds, and melon seeds; Four fresh fruits: apples, bananas, mandarins, strawberries; Four refreshments: bee cake, row fork, pot cake, baked cake; Guo Xing'a nodded secretly, these furnishings can be regarded as a table of dishes, and it is definitely worth it today.
A few people sat down and gossiped for a while, but Zou Chuan praised Guoxing A Yingwu for being a hero, and the sisters were as beautiful as flowers. The sound of silk and bamboo in the garden started, and Zou Chuan respectfully invited Guo Xing'a to the table. Of course, the officialdom wine and dinner sisters can't be seated, and after Zou Chuan saw that Guo Xing'a brought his female dependents, he deliberately let his virtuous helper and Wang Wenju's dregs accompany him in the back garden.
Guo Xing'a came out of the living room and looked at it, almost unable to believe his eyes, is this a county order to invite dinner? The emperor's garden party is also this meeting. Several water pavilions in the garden are connected by corridors, and the corridors are dotted with lights, and there are servants playing musical instruments, and the reflection of the lights in the water is like a fairyland on earth. If this set of things is in modern times, that is, the site of a lakeside park, a row of colored lanterns and a big sound system are enough to get it, but in the Qing Dynasty, it took countless palace lamps and manpower to get it.
Guoxing Azuo is located in a pavilion on a rockery, which can not only overlook the overall situation, but also have excellent privacy. The more than a dozen officers who accompanied Guo Xing'a to the banquet today also sat in the water pavilion at the foot of the mountain, accompanied by Ding Degui's subordinates and the subordinates of the county government, and more than 20 tables were held for a banquet.
"Lord Zou, it's too polite, it's too expensive!" Guo Xing'a felt that the scene was a bit big, if this Zou Chuan was really beaten in front of him, Guo Xing's face was a little unbearable.
"Where is Yun Shuai, Xia Guan still thinks it's too shabby! Yun Shuai is a first-class hero in the world, this little scene is really wronged Yun Shuai! "Zou Chuan spared no effort.
"That's it! Yun Shuai's martial arts can be regarded by ordinary people! "The banquet is all used at the official table rather than the round table, and only three people can sit at a time, and the only one who is qualified to accompany him on the rockery is Ding Degui, the general of the three grades.
A few people were polite for a while, and finally sat down on the host and guest. The so-called "four seasonings" and "six cold dishes" have been placed on the table, which are splendid and full of splendor, as well as mixed spring willow, shrimp and bamboo shoots, mustard cabbage, luo han belly, crispy fish, and mixed clam kernels; The best Shaoxing rice wine is also warm, and the aroma comes out through the bottle, making people drunk before drinking.
Zou Chuan immediately raised his glass, but Guo Xing'a repeatedly refused, and Guo Xing'a didn't dare to drink after the battle of Shencemen. In the end, it was the servant who said that the delicious taste of the main dish of rice wine should not be lost, so Guo Xing'a raised his wine glass. After eating a few bites of the dishes on the table, Guo Xing'a's eyes have narrowed into crescents, it's worth the trip!
As an ordinary modern person, it is undeniable that you will have the opportunity to eat many good things, but you have never eaten the most formal government-style Chinese food. It was the first time for Goxinga to taste such a delicacy, and it can be said that almost every dish is extremely delicious, and it echoes with other dishes, making people fascinated by the food.
A few people had a few glasses of wine, and the little guys served the first dish "Yellow Braised Shark's Fin", with two side dishes, rock sugar white fungus and panlong prawns. Guo Xing'a looked at these three dishes stupidly, not to mention whether they were delicious or not, the appearance alone was a few rare works of art. The maid and the maid cooked food for Guoxing Abu and served Guoxing A to taste. After getting off the chopsticks, Guo Xing'a can be said to be full of emotion, this dish shark fin is soft and rotten and thick, golden and shiny, thick and fresh and not greasy, and it still makes people's teeth and cheeks fragrant after eating for a long time. It doesn't matter if the rock sugar white fungus is fruitful, but the dragon prawns are great love, and the ten fingers of a few little maids are like jade shoots, and peeling the shrimp is also pleasing to the eye. A few people ate shark's fin, and the maid and the maid served fragrant tea to the three masters.
"Rinsing your mouth?" Guo Xing'a really hasn't seen the local buns on the market in this regard, although the food is very enjoyable, but he is still a little restrained, for fear that he will become Grandma Liu in the Grand View Garden. Seeing that someone brought tea up, I thought that the banquet was over after eating the main dish, and I thought of Lin Daiyu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, so I asked if it was a gargle. In fact, he is still regretting in his heart, there are many things on the table that have not been eaten yet, so he can eat slowly! Why are you in a hurry to rinse your mouth and close the cup!
Yun Shuai said with a smile, although this second-grade fragrant tea is also used for gargling and refreshing the taste, it would be a pity to spit out such a good tea. Ding Degui saw that Guo Xing'a didn't understand what this tea was for.
"Yun Shuai, the next "clear soup and swallow vegetables", you must first taste this "second grade fragrant tea", so as to gargle and taste fresh, because this dish is delicious and mellow, and if you don't clean your mouth, you can't better appreciate its wonders." Zou Chuan talked about eating, it was the head of the way.
"Oh, oh!" The so-called end of Goxing Acai's consciousness is only a small beginning.
"Clear soup and swallow vegetables" also brought two side dishes, which are dry fried flower fish and honey yam. The bird's nest is followed by abalone, which is cooked in oyster sauce, and the soup is delicious and wonderful. However, the original juice soup on the plate is only enough for one spoonful of drink per person, which makes Guoxing Ah regret that it is not enough, and it is not enjoyable! And the two side dishes, diced white barracuda and slipping north and south, although they are also delicacies, almost no one has touched them, but Zou Chuan moved a chopstick for each dish like giving face to the chef.
After that, the fourth main course is "grilled big black cucumber", Guo Xing'a has only eaten less than ten centimeters of farmed sea cucumber in his previous life, and this sea cucumber is a foot long, three catties in weight, the key is pure natural! The taste is soft and glutinous, the juice is thick and thick, and it is delicious and palatable. The two side dishes, sea rainbow shark fin and fried shrimp, are also a little smoother than the previous ones.
After that, the fifth dish is "Steamed Chicken with Straw Mushrooms", the sixth is vegetarian, "Three Fresh Monkey Head", and the seventh is "Steamed Mandarin Fish". The eighth dish is "sunflower duck", and the ninth dish is soup, and Guo Xinga chose a "pearl soup". After eating above, I realized that the so-called "pearl soup" is a soup made from old corn that has just spit out ears and grows two inches.
When it came to the ninth dish, the main dish finally came to an end, looking at a large table full of dishes, Guo Xing'a, who drank some wine, felt that it was really a little inappropriate not to take Latin Degui and Zou Chuan this time. Guo Xing'a just wanted to ask the maid to add a bowl of rice to herself, and to end the dinner party, but the little guy who served the food came again.
They are also here to wrap up, no longer the main course, but the so-called meal pastry. Snacks include Baizi Tangyuan and Three Fresh Roasted Wheat, and the next meal is roast duck, stir-fried vegetables, dried scallops and roast pork. The soup is a three-fresh soup, but the staple food is very rich, including lotus leaf cakes, rice and lotus leaf rolls. A few people ate the really hungry dinner, and the last dish was beets, almond tea and walnut cheese, as well as two sweet and salty snacks with sesame buns and crispy boxes.
At this point, the grand swallow wing mat came to an end. After the maid put on the hot hand towel, several people got up and went to the living room. The little ones served four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, and one cup of "three teas" for one person. Guo Xing'a only felt that the tea was fragrant, mellow and refreshing, and it was sweet and fragrant after the meal.
"Our department should rest in Yi County for a few days, and our department is in Japan, if you encounter a police officer in your county, I will have my own strength to bear it." As the saying goes, eating people with short hands is the softest, although Guo Xing'a was going to put down his chopsticks when he came, he didn't recognize people, but this meal was too grand, and Guo Xing'a was embarrassed to turn his face and not recognize people.
"With Yun Shuai here, where are the bandits who don't know death dare to come and send them to death!" Zou Chuan's face almost bloomed with joy.
Guo Xing'a looked at the many dishes left on the table, and wanted people to take them away. However, at this moment, it is the Qing Dynasty, not a new society that advocates CD-ROM action, and it is still very embarrassing for a dignified three-grade member in Guoxing's to pack it. However, Zou Chuan is still very understanding, and before the Guoxing people went out, dozens of food boxes had already been delivered. Of course, there are not leftovers from each table, but two full tables of new dishes, which is also called "eating and taking".
Saishana and the others who came to the banquet together were also eating with red faces, and Cao Meng, Li Zhi, Hatan, and Ji Ying were still reluctantly looking inward when they went out. People like Sai Shang'a, Xiande, Ji Ying and others are all of high grades, but the flag man is the flag man, and he is still incomparable with the Han people who are in charge of government. Although Zuo Ling is a member of the third grade, he is a big village head, and his actual jurisdiction and oil and water are very limited, where have he ever seen such a big scene.
I heard that Guo Xing'a promised to stay for a few more days, but Hatan, Cao Meng and others had no opinions, and Yixian was good in their eyes. Everyone is rich, even if no one invites you tomorrow, you can come out and enjoy it. However, Saishana and others shouted that they were fooled, and they kept saying that Guoxinga was too hasty.
"It's such a grand feast, let's put down our chopsticks and leave, it's not appropriate!" Guo Xing's heart is still reminiscing about the delicious taste just now.
"Your Excellency! This is their routine! It's all these rules to usher in and send to, and today it's just a better place to choose a garden. You keep going, and everywhere you go to the state capital, it's all treated like this. Saishana woke up Goxinga with a word.
"How much money do you have to eat this year!" Guo Xing'a instantly lost the mood of aftertaste.
