Thank you for your rewards!

……

The four of them chatted for a while, and the sky was getting dark. Zhang Mengtan solicited the opinions of the three guests, then clapped his hands, and asked the servants to bring food utensils such as ding, gui, and beans to the official opening of the table.

Zhao Wuxian silently observed that Zhang's Yan Fang was much simpler than the one that Wei Ji entertained him in Zhao's mansion some time ago.

Wuxian and Wei Ju are the sons, in front of them are five tripods and four tripods, Zhang Mengtan and Le Fuli are the sons of doctors, and in front of them are three tripods and two tripods. And it's not all copper, there is quite a bit of pottery, and the more expensive lacquerware is almost extinct.

It can be seen that the Zhang family is not wealthy, but Zhang Mengtan is not sloppy at all in the Yan Fang that entertains them, and the meat and vegetables are properly matched and elegant.

After all, the four of them are weak-crowned teenagers, and their temperament is jumpy, so they don't pay attention to "eating without words", and they are talking and laughing while eating.

The first thing to be served is the staple food, which is the famous "Chunmu" and "mixed food" of Zhou Bazhen's second.

However, these two foods today are different from what people used to eat.

Le Fuli first felt that something was wrong, and he said while chewing: "Strange, Zhang Zi, your family's eight treasures seem to taste better than mine!" ”

When Wei Ju heard this, he also tasted it carefully, and felt that the taste was indeed better, but he didn't think it was strange, thinking that it should be because of the exquisite skills of the cook.

Zhang Mengtan put down the dagger and said slowly: "This is thanks to Zhao Zi for the gift he sent this morning." ”

Gift? Le Fuli and Wei Ju both looked at Wuxian curiously.

Zhao Wuxian replied humbly: "Actually, not only Zhangzi's family, but I have already sent someone to send some wheat flour produced in Lingyi to the two families, but unfortunately I didn't catch up with the morning meal, so the two of you don't know yet, and it just ......so happens that you can eat it here."

It turned out that the same method as the way to open a sales route in the lower palace, Zigong, in the name of Zhao's Jia, gave a bucket of wheat noodles to the families of the Pan Palace disciples who Zhao Wuxian knew and befriended, and they also gave a simple slip with the method written on it.

Speaking of which, Zhang Mengtan's kitchen and Yongren were also bold, as soon as they got this new ingredient in the afternoon, Yan Fang dared to make it in the evening to entertain Qingzi.

They replaced the millet flour and rice flour that are necessary in "Chunmu" and "Adultery" with more finely ground wheat flour to increase the taste.

Chunmu makes cakes out of wheat flour, spreads the fried meat sauce on top of the cakes, and then pours boiling oil over them.

The method of blending is: take the meat of the cow, sheep and pig in equal parts, chop it, knead it with wheat flour and mix it together, the ratio is two to one, knead it into the shape of a cake, put it in the kettle and fry it with paste, the taste is beautiful.

After Zhao Wuxian's explanation, Wei Ju, who originally thought that this thing was extremely delicious, couldn't swallow it anymore.

When he came back from Anyi, he also brought gifts, which were given to Zhang Mengtan and the sons of the princes, all of whom were the finest tiger-shaped white salt.

But according to Yi Yin's way of cooking, no matter how precious white salt is, it is only a seasoning, too much, it will only make the dishes salty and unpalatable, and today's staple food is still the wheat flour sent by Zhao Wuxian.

Wei Ju suddenly sat like a needle and felt, he believed that many things were symbolic, such as he came to Zhang's mansion in a hurry today, originally with the intention of competing with Zhao Wuxian. But sitting here, it seems to be the same as white salt, a condiment that serves as a foil for staple food!

But at this moment, Yan Fang had just begun, and the remaining time was enough for Wei Ju to survive, so he could only pretend not to be hungry and watch the music note sitting at the end of the seat feast.

Under Wei Ju's gaze, Le Fuli seemed to be eating more happily. He laughed at himself, no wonder his index finger moved slightly before he came, but he knew that he would eat a peculiar smell, if Zhang Zi didn't let him eat it, he would definitely "get infected" out.

This remark caused Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan to laugh, and Wei Ju could only laugh with his face.

Wuxian knows that the stalk of "touching" is an allusion from Zheng Guo.

At that time, Xia Ji's own brother Zheng Linggong got a big turtle (yuan) given by the Chu State, which is a rare big turtle. He asked the cook to cut the soft-shelled turtle into pieces, cook it and make it into meat soup, and entertain the doctors.

Who knows, the big copper tripod full of soft-shelled turtle soup has just been served, and his two doctors, Gongzi Song and Zijia, looked at each other and laughed at the banquet.

Zheng Linggong was very curious, and when he asked, he found out that when the two doctors went out in the morning, they found that their index fingers moved slightly, and they knew that they would eat a peculiar smell today, and now it is indeed the case.

Zheng Linggong didn't know which tendon was wrong, and when he ordered Yongren to distribute the soup to the major doctors, it happened to be the time of Gongzi Song's feast, but he deliberately skipped him, as if he wanted to be angry and make Gongzi Song's premonition not work.

Gongzi Song was embarrassed, so he couldn't help but stand up suddenly, walked in front of Da Ding, stretched out his finger in public, dipped it in, tasted it, and then swaggered out.

Zheng Linggong was furious and wanted to kill Gongzi Song, of course the other party could not sit idly by, and as a result, it caused a civil strife in Zheng Guo, and Linggong was killed because of this. This matter was purely his own death, but he was relied on by the countrymen to Xia Ji, who had been with his brother and sister......

Having said that, in the Spring and Autumn Period, all the monarchs who were given the nickname "Ling" were basically comics.

For example, Jin Linggong, King Chu Ling......

Founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the law is based on the life deeds and moral cultivation of the monarch and the prince, and the son discusses the father, evaluates the praise and disapproval, and finally gives the deceased a title with an evaluative nature.

The explanation of the law: "If you are not diligent to become famous, you will be called a spirit", which means "any nature, not seeing the sages". In other words, the personality jumps out, and the brain circuits are a bit weird, which is simply neurotic......

This is a vicious slander that the monarchs and ministers try to avoid.

At this time, in addition to the main food, there are also a number of dishes and dishes that are being served in a steady stream.

According to the theory of food supplements in spring and autumn, it is suitable to eat fish, eels, shellfish and other aquatic products in summer, which are just caught in Fenshui and muddy water, and are cooked with dog fat and onion and garlic to remove the fishy smell.

Yi Yin's way of cooking believes that the taste should be different in the four seasons, with more sour in spring, more bitter in summer, more bitter in autumn, and more salty in winter. So then there are bitter gourd, water chestnut and other slightly bitter, cool and tired foods.

When the meal was full, twilight had come, and the hall was darkened, the maids approached inside, lit the candles on the bronze lampstands, and re-illuminated the hall, and the pots, teasers, and lords of wine were also presented one by one.

The four of them reunited after a long absence, so they naturally wanted to have a drink, only to see the candle shadow shaking red, and the newly brewed millet wine was fragrant.

Zhang Meng talked about calling musicians, playing bells and drums, and calling the domestic singers to accompany the wine with music and dance.

Zhao Wuxian observed silently and found that he, the host, did a very competent job: he kept persuading Le Fu to eat more, and chatted with Wei Ju, who put down his chopsticks, about the scenery of Anyi Jiechi, so that he would not be left out in the cold, and he could also talk to Zhao Wuxian about the difficulties of Lingyi construction.

Zhang Mengtan was not slow or anxious in the whole Yan Feast, kept his due distance from everyone, was close to him but not attached, and did not show a special preference for which Qingzi.

This made Wei Ju's heart feel a little more comfortable, and although Zhao Wuxian was slightly disappointed, he also felt that this person had a high emotional intelligence.

On the other side, after Le Fu was slightly drunk, he was even more left and right, and personally invited the dancers to dance a thousand dances.

After drinking, it's natural to have some games to cheer up. Wei Ju, who didn't want to be robbed of the limelight by Zhao Wuxian, proposed to play Liubo and Pitching Pot, which was something he was very good at.

Unexpectedly, Zhao and Zhang both looked embarrassed, and they stopped talking.

Le Fu was sweating all over, and he said with a big tongue: "Didn't Zhang Zihe and Zhao Zi make an appointment a long time ago to talk about it today?" If you want me to say, it's more interesting to make chess by Zhao Zi, and from now on, Liubo throws pots and the like, and there is no interest, let's still play chess! ”

Wei Ju was slapped in the face in an instant, his lips twitched slightly, and he had to reluctantly smile and ask what "chess" was?

Zhao Wuxian gave Le Fuli a thumbs up in his heart, secretly boasting that this was really a miracle sword.
