Chapter 201: Cooperate with the performance
A bowl of stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with pork, a plate of salted tofu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A bowl of fried peanuts and a small pot of "Xinghua Village".
A beautiful brass pot with lamb stewed with shiitake mushrooms. There is also a plate of steamed fish, and the plate is also a freehand fish type.
This is the royal feast? It's too inferior. Wang Rui couldn't help but slander in his heart.
In the well-documented historical materials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu leaders and witches did not eat like this! Don't bully me for not being knowledgeable, I know everything.
Well, if there is anything else in the Manchu Qing Dynasty that can surpass the Ming Dynasty, it is probably the luxury of this meal and the number of dishes.
For example, Cixi, a shameless old witch! According to some memoirs of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi's old witch's meal was extremely exaggerated, and of course it was called a meal in the old witch's place.
Before each meal, the old witch Cixi sat on the east side of the table. Once she was seated, the eunuch began to prepare the name of the dish. The names of the dishes should be reported one by one, and after getting the report, the eunuch needs to shout "Eat all".
In particular, it should be noted that the work of announcing the name of the dish is quite difficult. Because there are a total of 120 dishes in each meal. Therefore, experienced eunuchs will take a big sip of water in advance before reporting the name of the dish, because after the long name of the dish is reported, they will have a dry mouth in the end.
And there are strict rules for these 120 dishes.
Cixi old witch doesn't eat by herself, and when the old witch starts to prepare to eat, she only needs to put her eyes on the dish. When the eunuch serving on the side saw her stop there, he would immediately clinch it to Cixi.
If the old witch Cixi felt that the food was not delicious, she would not be able to speak, and when she spit out the golden basin, the eunuch would continue to wait for her gaze to stop there. This kind of careful feeding method, I believe that everyone can't do it for their babies who have just learned to eat.
When Wang Rui was wandering and thinking, he heard Emperor Chongzhen's gentle voice coming.
"All the lovers have tasted it! Don't be inhibited. Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand lightly to everyone.
"Thank you, Holy Lord!" Everyone said in unison, and then carefully picked up the chopsticks.
The dishes are in good condition, and the taste is a little light for Wang Rui, a Chongqing native, but the taste is really good.
"Have some drink!" Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the peanuts and motioned to Wang Chengen to pour wine for Wang Rui.
"General Wang, you don't know. The saint usually doesn't drink a drop of wine, but yesterday he knew that the general was coming, and the saint specially ordered someone to prepare it. And this peanut, the saint said, this is a good thing to drink. ”
Wang Chengen poured wine for Wang Rui while smiling.
"Thank you, Holy Lord!" Wang Rui said, he was about to leave his seat to salute, causing the dishes to move.
"Aiqing is exempt! Sit down and drink. Emperor Chongzhen still looked at Wang Rui with a smile.
Later, when you eat and drink, it becomes extremely interesting. Wen Tiren, Qin Liangyu and others were only superficial, with elegant manners and very decent behavior.
There is only Lord Wang Rui, who is eating and drinking with a hearty stomach. After a few glasses of wine, it seems that he speaks with a big tongue.
"Vulgar Warrior!" Zhou Tingru and Wen Tiren couldn't help frowning.
"General Xiao Wang! Don't be out of line. Qin Liangyu sat beside Wang Rui and hurriedly whispered.
"It's time to eat, it's time to drink. Eat and drink well to kill the Tartars! Wang Rui still looks like a grinning and rough general.
"What Wang Qing said is extremely true! Drink! Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Rui and found it very interesting, and also picked up the cup and asked Wang Chengen to pour a small cup, and then drank it with Wang Rui.
Wufu, shouldn't it be this "one intestine through **", rough and majestic?
Although Qin Liangyu frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Wang Rui's words and deeds at today's imperial banquet, Emperor Chongzhen was extremely satisfied with Wang Rui.
He usually sees too many others talking and duplicitous in front of him. Our Lord Wang Ruiwang's happy and undisguised style makes him like it very much.
After the banquet, they used the tea ordered by Emperor Chongzhen, and everyone kowtowed and thanked them and left.
"General Wang, you are very rude today!" After leaving the palace gate and staying away, Qin Liangyu had a dark face and wanted to teach his new niece and son-in-law a lesson.
"Qin Du doesn't know, the last general is just cooperating with the performance today." Wang Rui suddenly put away the appearance of the drunkard's rice bucket in the palace just now, and replied very seriously.
"Cooperate with the show! What goes with the show? Qin Liangyu couldn't understand Wang Rui's fresh terms.
"What do you think, what does the emperor want the military generals to look like? It's definitely not polite, and he looks like a civil official in the city. This military general should be happy and bold, and he should be rude and rude. Well, at least that's what the emperor and Lord Wen and others think! So, the end will just be a show. What they need us to look like, we'll give them a show. ”
Wang Rui smiled slyly, his face full of triumph.
"You kid! This is a crime of deception! Qin Liangyu is not brainless, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Wang Rui said was quite reasonable, and immediately joked with a smile.
"Qin Governor Mingjian! I was forced to become a prostitute. Wang Rui also made a joke.
After joking, the two discussed together on the road about the next day's sacrifice of Xuanjie. After returning to the camp, they went back to their respective accounts to arrange rest.
"The general has arrived!" Wang Rui had just walked to his Chinese army account under the escort of Chen Song and the guards, when Yin Di's eldest brother's rough roar came out.
Then, Zhu Lei, Chen Ming and other Laizhou officers swarmed out of the tent and looked at Wang Rui happily one by one.
"My lord, what did the emperor say when he saw you?" "My lord, what did you eat in the palace?" As soon as Zhu Lei, Yin Di and the others saw Wang Rui coming, they asked with a blank eye.
"What about Zhang Er and Lin Side?" Wang Rui did not answer directly, but directly asked the two people he was most looking for now.
"If you go back to your lordship, your subordinates are here!" Lin Side stood up from behind, followed by Zhang Er, who was always hiding in the corner.
"Oh, it's just right that you're here, so you don't have to look for it again. All in the account! Wang Rui took the lead and walked into the tent.
"My lord, there is a surprise!" Brother Yin looked mysterious. When the officers heard this, they also laughed silly.
"Surprised?" Wang Rui raised his eyes and saw Qin Xiaojing holding a copper basin and standing in front of his handsome case.
"Miss Xiaojing is here?" Wang Rui said with a smile.
"Hmmm! My sister-in-law made diced spicy chicken and brought it for you to taste. Qin Xiaojing's face flushed under the gaze of a group of officers.
"Spicy chicken?" Wang Rui patted his head, this is a famous Sichuan dish.
However, it seems that there were no chili peppers in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Lord Wang, like many modern people, is mistaken, thinking that chili peppers came to China at a later time.
Chili peppers are native to the tropical regions of Central and Latin America, and the country of origin is Mexico. At the end of the 15th century, after Columbus discovered America, he brought chili peppers back to Europe, where they spread to other parts of the world.
It was introduced to China in the early years of Wanli. It's just that it doesn't spread widely. Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhang Fengyi can make spicy chicken.
"Then I'll try it!" Wang Rui smiled and put a belt into his mouth.
The chicken is soft and delicious, and the fresh and spicy flavor is even more appetizing. Wang Rui smacked his tongue with great enjoyment and said with a smile: "It tastes great!" ”
"My lord, is it delicious to have a royal banquet from the emperor?" Yin Diyin's eldest brother drooled and asked Wang Rui with a smile.
"Want to know? Ha ha! I don't tell you! Wang Rui also amused this "curious baby" who had to ask everything about it.
