Chapter 756: Sunflower Chops Meat
"Now that Cersei has brought you here, I have something to tell you and your husband about it. Xiao Xiao is pregnant, and sits down to talk. Tea. Yang Guang saw at a glance that Xiao Xiao's abdomen was slightly bulging, and he was already pregnant with a child in his belly, so he commanded.
Xiao Xiao refused to sit in front of the old master at first, but was forcibly pulled and attached to her ear and didn't know what to whisper, so he blushed and spat her lightly, and reluctantly sat down next to Xie Wei.
"I don't want to hide it from your husband and wife, this time I recruited you two to return to the Jin Palace, it was originally because a few days ago, Mr. Gu Shi, a famous Confucian in Jiangnan, suggested to me, mentioning that the Xie family is the Jiangnan people, and they suffered misfortune many years ago, so please ask me to find the descendants of the Xie family and take good care of them to soothe the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. At the same time, the Yue Guo Gong is willing to return Xie Wei to the palace, so he recruited your husband and wife to come to Guangling from Jiangling. So, Xiao Xiao, Xie Wei just proposed to me to resign and not do it, you persuade him, he has to do this official. Yang Guang restrained his smile and slowly explained to Xie Wei and Xiao Xiao the reason for recruiting him to return to the Jin Palace.
"Lord Wang." After listening to Yang Guang's words, Xiao Xiao subconsciously stroked his abdomen, stood up with some difficulty, and said to Yang Guangyu, "Xie Wei often told me that it was because he was too enthusiastic about his career in his early years that the ancestors of the Xie family were excavated by Chen Shuling, and more than 200 members of the Xie family were wiped out. He also asked the prince to fulfill his wish. ”
Yang Guangwan didn't expect Xiao Xiao to have been married to Xie Wei for only three years, but today he helped him persuade him to come, and he couldn't help but sit there with displeasure on his face, without saying a word.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the council hall suddenly cooled down due to Xiao Xiao and Xie Wei's insistence on resigning, he hurriedly reminded him softly by renewing tea for Yang Guang: "Lord Wang, it's better to leave this mission to me." ”
Yang Guang knew that Xie Wei and his wife had just returned to him, and it was not appropriate to have too unpleasant trouble with him today, so he calmed his face, nodded, and said to Xie Wei: "Let's postpone this matter for the time being." You and Xiao Xiao are both old people in my mansion, and when you first arrived in Guangling today, you will live in the East Cross Courtyard of the Governor's Mansion with Cersei. In the evening, the princess and I will hold a banquet in the mansion for your husband and wife. ”
Xiao Xiao heard that Yang Guang no longer insisted on Xie Yan to be an official, so he quietly pushed Xie Yan and glanced at him.
Xie Yan understood, and hurriedly stood up to thank Yang Guang and said: "I don't dare to have the prince and princess to pick up the wind and wash the dust for my husband and wife, so I ask the prince for permission to cook and cook a few delicious side dishes for the prince and princess, and express the gratitude of the husband and wife to the prince and princess." ”
Xie Yan took the initiative to cook in person, which aroused the gluttony in Yang Guang's stomach, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and laughed: "In this way, you and your husband will go back to the East Cross Courtyard with Se Se to rest in peace, and I will invite Mr. Gu Shi this evening, and the civil and military officials of the Jin Palace, the Hussar Battalion, and all the civil and military officials of the Jin Palace, come to the Flower Hall of the Governor's Mansion to taste the delicious food cooked by Chef Xie together, how about it?" ”
In addition to Zhang Heng, who returned to Jiankang on the order of Yang Guang and Yuwen to thoroughly investigate the assassination of Wang Shao, the subordinates of the Jin Wangfu were headed by Pei Yun of the Duji Room, and the generals of the Jin King Hussar Battalion were headed by Duan Da and Guo Yan, plus Yang Guang and his wife, together with Gu Shi, who was specially invited by Yang Guang, dozens of people crowded the huge back flower hall to the brim, all waiting to taste the delicious food carefully cooked by Xie Yan.
In order to show Yang Guang his sincerity in his life that he is only willing to take charge of the case as a profession, he came to the back kitchen of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion in the afternoon of the same day, and personally supervised a group of cooks in the Governor's Mansion to carefully prepare all the ingredients and food needed for the evening banquet.
After many years, Yang Guang once again tasted the delicious food cooked by Xie Wei himself, and he was in a good mood, and after three rounds of drinking, he got up drunk and left the table, toasting the banquet people one by one, and introducing the ingredients and cooking methods of each dish on several cases to the banquet everyone, as if he was a gourmet's style of tasting the deliciousness of the world.
However, when he toasted the cloth dishes to the banquet people one by one, walked through a round, and walked in front of Gu Shi who was sitting next to him again, it happened that a new dish was being transmitted to the banquet. Yang Guangda glanced at the bowl containing the dishes, even though the servant who served the dishes put the bowl on the table in front of Gu Shi, reached out and lifted Gu Shi's chopsticks to hold a piece of meat for him, and persuaded him: "Sir, please use, the name of this dish is 'Sixi Balls'." ”
Gu Shi's diet has always been light, and he doesn't like to eat meat the most, at this time, he saw that Yang Guang personally put a piece of food in front of him to persuade himself to eat, and it was inconvenient to brush Yang Guang's kindness, so he deliberately diverted the topic, got up with a smile and thanked him, and asked Yang Guang: "The old man has always been lonely and unheard of in the diet, may I ask the prince, what are the four joys?" ”
didn't think about this casual question, but Yang Guang really asked.
It turned out that Yang Guang saw that the sea bowl served by the servants in the house contained a large meatball that had been cut into eight petals, so he took it for granted that this dish was called "Sixi Balls" according to the name before the crossing.
On the order of Xie Wei, one of the domestic servants who delivered the dishes to the banquet was quite clever, and seeing that the King of Jin was asked by Gu Shi on the spot because of the name of a dish, he hurriedly returned to the back kitchen and called Xie Wei, wanting him to come forward to relieve Yang Guang.
Yang Guang specially invited Gu Shi to the banquet tonight, and he also had an idea in his heart that he wanted to ask Gu Shi to persuade Xie Wei to accept the official position he had granted him, but at this time, he suddenly saw the chef walk into the back flower hall, and immediately beckoned Xie Shi to come to him, and introduced him to Gu Shi and said: "This is the Mr. Gu Shi that the king mentioned to you during the day." ”
Gu Shi became famous early, Xie Wei had heard of his name for a long time, and immediately respectfully stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Xie Yan has seen his predecessors in the late life." ”
"You are the descendant of the Xie clan that the King of Jin invited from Jiangling?" Gu Shi looked at Xie Yan in surprise and asked, "Old man, let me ask you, what are the four joys in the Four Happiness Balls, this dish that the King of Jin just introduced to the old man?" ”
Xie Yan was a little inexplicable by Gu Shi's question, glanced back at Yang Guang, and replied to Gu Shi: "Mr. misunderstood." Later students named this dish 'Sunflower Big Chop Meat', so please try it out. ”
