Chapter 68: Chinese New Year's Eve
"When the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, everyone will go green together!" Lin Feng said. "However, today I have a surprise for you!" After speaking, Lin Feng clapped his hands, and not far away, An Heng immediately greeted the palace maid and eunuch,
Soon, the palace maids and eunuchs came up with food and placed them on the long table one by one.
The queens, who were warming themselves around the stove, saw the food placed on the table by the palace maid, and their eyebrows were all different, and they looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
Lin Feng beckoned the five of them to do it, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of eating the food in the palace, and today the Xianggong specially prepared alternative food for you." ”
Not long after, on the table, there was a lot of food on the table, lamb slices, beef slices, venison slices, quail eggs, and mushrooms, fungus, radishes and other vegetables, here, there are no shrimp and crab sticks,
However, meat is available.
The food that Lin Feng prepared for the five queens today was hot pot. The imperial food in the palace tastes very good, but in winter, Meimei eats a hot pot, and I am afraid that no food can replace it. Also, Lin
Kaede also hopes that the five queens will try his hometown food.
When a eunuch took the stove, put it on the table, put an iron pot on it, and added the soup that had been boiled in advance, the five queens still didn't understand what Lin Feng invited everyone to taste
What a good food.
Unable to hold back the curiosity in her heart, Concubine Xiao Shufei looked puzzled and was about to ask, but Lin Feng smiled and said, "Linlang, don't ask, I will ensure that you are full of praise." With that, Lin Feng picked it up
The blue and white porcelain bowl helped the queen and others to start preparing condiments.
Looking at Lin Feng's focused appearance, the queen and the others couldn't bear to disturb it, in this era, there is a custom of gentlemen cooking far away, and today, as a king, Lin Feng personally helped them prepare food, which made the
The five queens felt as sweet as honey in their hearts, regardless of whether the things Lin Feng prepared were delicious or not, his thoughts alone were already commendable.
After adjusting the condiments, the soup in the pot was also boiling, Lin Feng took a spoon, filled a little soup, poured it into the condiments in front of the five people, and began to put in the meat slices and vegetables one by one.
As the fragrance spread, Lin Feng introduced: "This thing hot pot tastes extremely beautiful, I guarantee to eat it once, Xue'er, the five of you will never forget it." As he spoke, he gave the slices of cooked meat in the pot to the emperor
The last five people put it in a small bowl with the condiments, and then they sandwiched the meat slices for themselves, dipped them in the seasoning, and urged the five people: "Dip the seasoning, taste it!" ”
Accustomed to eating imperial food, the five queens had never seen such a novel way of eating, but they were already attracted by the fragrance of the soup, and according to Lin Feng's guidance, they tried to put the food in their mouths.
"Well, it's delicious, I didn't expect that mutton still has such a way to eat!" After Murong Mengfei finished eating, she was the first to praise it, and then took the long chopsticks placed next to her, picked up the meat slices on the plate, and put them in the soup pot.
"yes, it's really good, it tastes warm." Concubine Xiao Shufei nodded in agreement, but she never thought that such a simple way of eating would bring a different effect.
But the queen, Mrs. Su, and Zhao Ziyan never spoke, like three foodies, who were already impatiently holding the food in the pot. In the past, several people did not dare to be unscrupulous in front of Lin Feng, but today is different from the past, Lin Feng's personality and actions have made them comfortable and comfortable, without too many worries and constraints.
"Xue'er, Qing'er, Yan'er, be careful of scalding, don't be too anxious if it's delicious!" Seeing the anxious appearance of the three of them, Lin Feng couldn't help but remind.
"Xianggong, this hot pot is so good, bite off your tongue, Qing'er is also willing!" <" Lin Feng was embarrassed. took care of himself, poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said cheerfully: "It's very refreshing, I haven't been so happy for a long time." ”
The snow is falling outside the house, and the fire is around the house, and the smell of wine and delicious food is wonderful! Accompanied by beautiful women, the atmosphere was light and pleasant, Lin Feng's heart was much more relaxed, and he hadn't relaxed for a long time
Seeing Lin Feng's comfortable appearance, Murong Mengfei, who was sitting opposite him, got up and walked over, personally helped Lin Feng pour more wine, returned to his seat, poured some for himself, picked up the wine glass, and to
Lin Feng said: "Xianggong, Fei'er toasts you, thank you for making such delicious food!" ”
In the past, Murong Mengfei had the privilege of tasting the new wine made by Lin Feng, and the intuitive taste at that time was mellow and strong, which made people have an endless aftertaste.
It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to taste it later, and I saw Lin Feng drinking today
, and I can't help but be interested.
"Yes, yes, yes! Sister Queen, let's have a glass to Xianggong, haven't we drunk the new wine brewed by Xianggong yet? Zhao Ziyan also echoed, holding the wine bottle, and helping the four respectively
People pour full wine.
The new wine is crystal clear, the aroma of the wine is rich, it looks like a jade wine, Zhao Ziyan, Su Huanqing, and Xiao Linlang have indeed never drunk new wine, but when the queen brews the new wine,
After tasting it once, everyone was happy today, and after pouring the wine, everyone picked up the wine glass and put it on the tip of their nose to sniff.
"Qing'er, Linlang, Yan'er, this wine is strong!" The queen kindly reminded.
Lin Feng didn't stop the five of them, and kindly reminded: "This wine is strong and abnormal, you will definitely not get used to it when you taste it for the first time, just taste it a little, don't drink it all at once." ”
However, Lin Feng, who didn't know, was wordy, or rather, Su Huanqing's unaware wine strength, when Lin Feng reminded him, he had already raised his head and drank it all, and the liquor was mellow and rich in taste, but it could follow, the mouth
It was hot and hot, coughing violently, panting and coquettishly: "Xianggong, why is this wine so spicy?" ”
Lin Feng listened to it funny, and asked An Heng to bring water to help Su Huanqing rinse her mouth, and said with a smile: "Who made you so anxious, the richness of this new wine is far more than Zheng Guo's wine, and it is not suitable for you to drink." Then he said to the queen and others: "You can taste it slightly, don't be like Qing'er, drink it all."
”
The queen knew the taste of new wine, Su Huanqing and Zhao Ziyan didn't dare to drink when they saw what happened to Su Guifei, so they elegantly picked up the wine glass and put it on the corner of their lips to taste it slightly, but after a while, their faces were still flushed.
Looking at the appearance of the five people, Lin Feng hurriedly helped everyone pick up the dishes, and said, "Eat more vegetables and drink less." At the same time, he also thought that if he had time, brewing fruit wine early would not only increase financial income, but also be counted as a special drink for the queen's five people.
The five of them smiled at Lin Feng, a little embarrassed, a little shy, and didn't dare to drink anymore, so they turned their attention to the food, this meal, everyone ate to the fullest, the ingredients far exceeded Lin Feng's expectations in advance, meat slices, vegetables, bring many plates.
After a short chat in Fengming Palace, Concubine Su, Concubine Xiao Shu and others returned to the palace separately, while Lin Feng hugged the queen and bathed, of course, stayed in Fengming Palace for the night.
In the next few days, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and the government affairs of the DPRK and China are gradually decreasing, Lin Feng spends more time with the five queens, and the relationship between them has also made a qualitative leap.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and as a royal noble, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was naturally inevitable and must be held in a big way. Even if Lin Feng has killed a lot of people in the past half a year, at the end of the year, he still needs to feast the ministers in the palace.
An Heng arranged everything for the banquet in advance, and the banquet was set up in Hanning Hall to entertain the ministers. The exception is that Lin Feng summoned Zhao Hongru, Huang Puxuan, Bai Yisheng and others who were training in Cangyan Mountain, and even sent a reward to Liu Chengfeng in the north on the eve of the New Year.
And the queen led the six palaces to receive the officials' wives in Fengming Palace, and Lin Feng held a banquet in the main hall, which can be regarded as a kind of longen.
As the emperor, Lin Feng knows the way of the emperor, the Yan Kingdom and the development of the strong map, the Wenchen military generals are indispensable. Whether it is to defend the territory, or to open up the territory in the future, he must rely on Zhao Hongru and others, so no matter when, he will not despise the generals.
In the past six months, it has taken a lot of effort, especially in killing Han Fang and others, only Zhao Shide, Liu Chengfeng and other Wenchen are left, almost one person is used for two people, especially Zhao Shide, who is in charge of money and food and official allocation, almost weak, and has never rested.
To fight for the world, we need military generals to govern the world, but we need civil ministers, one literature and one martial arts, and we can't favor one over the other, especially at present, Yan Guo lacks talents, and we should pay more attention to military generals.
As the emperor, Lin Feng knew the hardships paid by the courtiers in the past half a year, so this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was not only a celebration between the monarchs and subjects, but also Lin Feng's reward to the courtiers, as well as rewards and rewards.
Before the banquet, Lin Feng specially told him that he didn't have to care about the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers today, and that he should be a banquet for the family and a banquet between the ministers, however, whether it was a Wenchen who was deeply influenced by Confucian culture or a military general with a rough personality, even if Lin Feng instructed him in advance, he did not dare to make too much of it.
Everyone knows very well that since ancient times, the king is like a tiger, and if you are not careful, you may never recover, and besides, the young emperor in front of you is extremely sage, and he is by no means a mediocre and incompetent person, so no one dares to get carried away and get carried away.
In the past two days, Lin Feng has become addicted to eating hot pot, and when the ministers are feasted, it is also a hot pot banquet, and the palace maid has been trained by An Heng and knows how to eat, which will be waiting for the ministers.
An Heng poured Lin Feng full of wine, Lin Feng picked it up, and said to the ministers: "This year is a turbulent year, defeating the Rong clan and thwarting the Korean conspiracy, all the ministers here have made great contributions, this glass of wine, I respect everyone!" ”
"The ministers are terrified, respect the emperor!" The ministers adhered to the courtesy of the ministers, and they also knew that the emperor didn't like to play cards according to common sense, but he didn't think that Lin Feng would personally toast everyone, so he couldn't help but be flattered and surprised, and hurriedly got up to salute back.
After the monarch and ministers drank a full drink, the eunuch waiting next to him poured a full wine for Lin Feng's monarch and minister, Lin Feng got up again and said: "Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, after tonight, it will be a new year, and in the next year, there will be many things, I still need to rely on the ministers here, I hope that our monarchs and ministers will work together to make a difference in the coming year." ”
This time, the ministers wanted to return the salute again, but Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Today, we don't need to be polite between the monarchs and ministers, and we should be the right to be a thank-you banquet." After finishing speaking, Lin Feng drank it all.
The ministers were flattered, but Lin Feng prevented everyone from returning the salute, and the ministers present still stood up to salute, and at the same time, there was joy in their hearts.
