Chapter 024: Paper Airplanes
Liu Sicheng also saw Li Wencai standing on the path next to the hall, so he happily walked over and said, "Why did you come to the Jin Palace, could it be said that the King of Jin invited you to come?" ”
Li Wencai didn't have a good face for this old man, so he pretended to be polite and arched his hand and said: "Lord Liu really exalts me so much, I came here to cook for the prince of Jin, the hall is full of princes and generals, famous families, and ordinary people like me never dare to show their faces." ”
"You little bastard, the old man is kind to you, not to say thank you, but to tease me like this." Liu Sicheng stomped his feet angrily, shook off his sleeve robe and entered the hall.
The back kitchen of the Jin Palace's mansion is next to the banquet hall, only a corridor away, and the maid who delivers the food brings the kitchen dishes into the hall through the corridor, Li Wencai can't help but sigh, the prince's mansion is really unusual, when can he be so corrupt.
When he came to the kitchen, Li Wencai took off his white Confucian shirt, which was a gray cloth short, very capable, Li Wencai rolled up his sleeves and began to get busy.
At this time, Hu Hansan walked in, came to Li Wencai's side and whispered: "I have collected the guest list for today's congratulations, what should I do next?" ”
"According to the list, each adult should prepare a jar of wine, and give it to them when they leave." Li Wencai said while busy with the work in his hands.
Hu Hansan nodded happily, gave Li Wencai a thumbs up and said: "High, really high, this trick of my brother will definitely make our red wine business popular in Nanjing." ”
Hu Hansan did as Li Wencai instructed, and Li Wencai is now going to make the last dish of this birthday banquet, this is not an easy job, dozens of tables of dishes make Li Wencai sweat profusely, fortunately, there are two family members to do it, so Li Wencai is doing it while directing.
"If the charcoal fire is stronger, the chili powder should be sprinkled evenly."
"This one is ready, and it's ready to be brought into the hall."
Li Wencai said this for a long time, but he didn't see any movement, so he frowned and shouted to the people around him: "You maid is so disobedient, didn't you hear what I said?" ”
After Li Wencai finished speaking, he turned around, gritted his teeth and gasped, his grandmother's, today is really unlucky, the person standing in front of him is not a maid, it is ...... Lord of Tianxin.
"That, I didn't find out when His Royal Highness the county lord came, and I ask His Highness for forgiveness." Li Wencai's smile was ugly, and he wanted to die.
"Hmph, blind your dog's eyes, the dignified county lord actually said that I was a maid, such a big dog, believe it or not, I cut off your dog's head?" The county lord of Tianxin crossed his hands on his hips, pouted, and said angrily.
It's unreasonable, who would have thought that the dignified county lord would come to the kitchen to do something, so Li Wencai said with trepidation: "What is Your Highness doing in the kitchen, it's really unexpected." ”
"The lord of this county can go wherever he wants, do you care, I'm here to find you." The Tianxin County Lord said with a willful face.
"Looking for me?" What Li Wencai was worried about happened, this county lord is really haunted, and it must be no good to find himself.
"Do you remember what you said yesterday, build me that flying machine in seven days, have you built it?" The Tianxin County Lord asked reluctantly.
"Ah, that's it." Li Wencai said bitterly, he never said that he would build an airplane within seven days, this is all what you said, but Li Wencai dared to talk back, so he had to nod and say: "It has been built." ”
"Bring it to me." The heart of heaven stretches out white. Tender little hands said.
Li Wencai took a piece of oiled paper from the table, folded it a few times, a paper airplane was freshly baked, looking at his brain, fooling a little girl or catching it, Li Wencai put the paper airplane in the hands of the Tianxin County Lord and said: "This is the flying machine, as long as you throw it out, it will fly." ”
Lord Tianxin played with the paper airplane in his hand with a happy face, and then threw it out of the window, only to see the plane hovering in the air.
"You're pretty smart, you can make such a fun thing with a single fold." The Lord of Tianxin looked at the paper airplane and said with a happy smile.
Li Wencai had to admire his mind, and the thorny problem was solved, so he hurriedly complimented: "As long as His Royal Highness the county lord likes it, it doesn't hurt if I make you a few more, and send them to His Highness's mansion another day." ”
The Lord of Tianxin shook his head and said, "You lie to me, this is not the flying plane you said, but I heard that it can carry people and fly in the sky with people." ”
"What?" Li Wencai's jaw was about to drop.
"There are still a few days left in the deadline given to you by the county lord, and if you can't make it, I will cut off your dog's head." After Tianxin finished speaking, Li Wencai glanced at him, turned around and walked out.
Li Wencai's white teeth gurgled angrily, this is too bullying, this county lord is really not easy to coax, how can he build an airplane in seven days......
Compared with the kitchen, the banquet hall of the Jin King's Mansion is obviously luxurious and lively, a row of dancing girls dances on the floor in the middle, the guests present laugh and laugh, and the Jin King sits on the upper seat, at this time his face is also full of red light, Zhu Jingtian sits on his father's side, looking at the scene, Zhu Jingtian made a look at the family, and the two family members carried a large wooden barrel to the center of the hall.
King Jin stood up with a smile and said, "Today is full of friends, the old man is very happy, this barrel is filled with rare wine, now I will give each of you a glass." ”
King Jin's face was mysterious, and then the family members took the white jade cup and gave each adult a cup, all the officials are knowledgeable, what wine has not been drunk, but when they saw the red liquid in the jade cup, they were dumbfounded, but there were still officials who exclaimed: "Is this the grape wine of the Western Regions?" ”
Zhu Jingtian said with a smug face: "Uncles are well-informed, I can't hide it, this is a grape wine, but it is not produced in the Western Regions, let alone a tribute in the palace, but it is made by a friend of mine, you might as well taste it." ”
The taste of the wine is completely different from the ordinary rice wine, and the degree is strong enough, although it is not as good as the liquor of the world, but compared to the strength of the rice wine, it is not bad at all, so everyone took a sip of the aftertaste, and really wanted to drink it.
King Jin looked at the words of praise below, so he said: "This friend of Xiao'er is very intelligent, and now the spicy grilled fish that is rumored to be in Nanjing City is also made by him, and today I specially invited him to make this dish for everyone." ”
After King Jin finished speaking, a group of maids took small steps, and the beauties held an iron plate in their hands, and a rich fragrance came to their nostrils.
Some officials have eaten this dish before, and they simply want to eat it a second time after eating it once, and they can't stop eating it. 、
"Since you have such a great talent, why don't you introduce me and let me wait to see what this person looks like?" Everyone was curious, and it would be nice if such a wonderful person could get acquainted.
King Jin nodded, and a family member ran out quickly.
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi, come with me." The housekeeper ran to the kitchen and screamed.
Li Wencai wiped the sweat from his head and said, "You are so flustered, were you bitten by a dog?" ”
"Don't be kidding, King Jin invited you to the banquet hall to see you, everyone said they wanted to see your true face of Lushan, so hurry up and come with me." That family was so anxious that they couldn't wait to put Li Wencai on their shoulders and leave.
"Don't be kidding, I'm a cook, how could King Jin invite me?" Li Wencai said in disbelief.
"Really, everyone is waiting, don't embarrass me." The family couldn't help but say, pulled Li Wencai's sleeve and left.
"Don't worry, this little comrade, let me die a decent death even if I die." Li Wencai said as he put on his Confucian shirt, straightened his hair, took out a folding fan from his waist, posed and said, "How do you feel?" ”
That Ding's face was distorted, and there was a bottom line for pretending, when was this, so he said: "Wind. Sao tight. ”
The status of scholars in ancient times was still very high, because it showed the value orientation, even if it was an official in the court, no one would look down on scholars, because these people were all born as scholars, so Li Wencai's elegant appearance in the hall still made everyone's eyes shine.
After a long time, Li Wencai came to the hall led by Jiading, and said after respectfully saluting the prince of Jin: "Today is the birthday banquet of the prince, and the villain has nothing to give, so he can only make this dish to congratulate, and please forgive the prince." ”
King Jin nodded with satisfaction, this kid is quite good at talking, so he smiled and said: "Your gift is the most satisfying for the old man today, today everyone wants to see you, you are mysterious enough, spicy grilled fish is passed on by mouth in Nanjing City, but few people have seen you, and what is even more surprising is that you actually made grape wine, this natural quality can not be compared with ordinary people." ”
"The prince praised it, this is all a small skill of carving insects, it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall, said grape wine, today I specially brought some, every adult has a copy, go back and taste it slowly." Li Wencai saw that the time had come, and spoke.
There was a thunderous applause in the hall, this gift is absolutely surprising, although these officials are important ministers of the imperial court, it is rare to taste this kind of wine in the palace, and now someone generously gives an altar, so they are very happy.
Advertising in such a scene, Li Wencai is the first, but if the advertisement is played well, the reverse is naturally different, but when Li Wencai stood beside King Jin and watched the thunderous applause in the hall, a person actually did something in the cup of the Tianxin County Lord, no one noticed this, but Li Wencai saw it.
The county lord of Tianxin looked at Li Wencai, and then gave the goods a fierce look, reminding Li Wencai of the agreement between the two.
The wine was also drunk, the dance was watched, and the guests also got up and left, Li Wencai was surrounded by many officials to talk, and some even sent tokens, the intention was obvious, but Li Wencai was thoughtful, the scene just now appeared in Li Wencai's mind, someone dared to do things in the wine cup of the county lord, I don't know what the purpose is, although this spicy little county lord picked his nose and glared at him, but Li Wencai still felt that he had to remind her.
