Chapter 253: The Eunuch's Words
After this battle, the economy of Guangliang County has regressed for nearly three or five years, but fortunately, in the later stage of the disaster, the imperial court allocated disaster relief food in time, so that Guangliang will not fall into chaos again. In addition, pork has also officially entered the dietary life of the people of Guangliang, although it has only been more than a month, but the way of cooking has been full of surprises. Simmered meat, stewed meat, barbecued meat, steamed meat, stir-fried meat, etc., are full of variety, breathtaking.
Looking at these familiar and colorful meats, Chen Fang's index finger, which was still very weak, moved.
After Tang Yun beckoned everyone to take their seats, Chen Fang toasted Hai Fugui and Li Shimin with tea instead of wine, announcing the real beginning of the thanksgiving banquet.
Hai Fugui is a eunuch who declares a decree, although his position seems to be sad, but in fact he is a lord with a prominent status, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are in his stomach all day long, and he does not necessarily eat worse than the emperor. However, even after eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, I couldn't help but be surprised when faced with the variety of meat on this table.
With curiosity in mind, he stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of stewed meat into his mouth. Soft with a hint of toughness, such a unique taste instantly conquered his tongue, and soon he stretched out the second chopsticks, this chopsticks he stretched out to the excellent golden barbecue, and when he entered it again, the outside was charred and the inside was tender, and the undiminished texture made his eyes light up at once.
For a while, he completely put aside the scruples of his identity, and tasted more than a dozen meat dishes on the table in a row, almost swallowing his tongue into his stomach.
After borrowing a cup of the emperor's daughter Hongqing and clearing her mouth, Hai Fugui finally recovered a little decent, and he asked Chen Fang: "Lord Chen, what kind of meat are these, they are so delicious." Is it a specialty of this place? Can you pack some and take some away, our family hopes to bring some back to Beijing, so that the emperor can also taste this unique mountain treasure. ”
Hai Fugui's gaffe, Chen Fang and the others were not surprised, for his desire to pack, everyone also did not laugh at him, because everyone also felt that such wild boar was very delicious.
Chen Fang smiled and said to Hai Fugui: "Father-in-law Hai, this is a wild boar." ”
"What meat?" Hai Fugui thought that he had heard something, and asked again.
Chen Fang said again: "Wild boar." ”
"Wild, wild boar? You, you ......" Hai Fugui's face instantly became extremely evil, and the chopsticks in his hand fell on the dish with a "dang".
He stretched out his hand trembling with anger, pointed at Chen Fang, and said, "Good you Chen Fang, the emperor has been kind to you in vain, you, you actually use pork to thank the emperor for his kindness!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone stopped eating and drinking instantly, and they all looked at Hai Fugui very unexpectedly, after more than a month, everyone has already regarded eating pork as a common thing, and for a while, where did you remember the days when pork was regarded as a wolf and tiger? Hearing Hai Fugui mention this, everyone quickly reacted, and their faces immediately changed from surprise to solemnity.
If the imperial court really regarded wild boar meat as filthy meat, then their next collective meal would not be a thanksgiving feast, but a beheading meal.
"Grandpa Hai, you misunderstood. These wild boar meat are the best food, and there are many places where you can't eat this kind of meat. You see, isn't His Royal Highness King Qin also eating very deliciously? Chen Fang hurriedly explained that it was true that in the world he had learned, it was difficult for people to eat some healthy local boars, let alone fresh wild boars. However, he ignored one thing, the era he was in was still an incomplete era, and pork had already been criticized by those famous doctors as worthless, even comparable to the poison that harmed people. The reason why Li Shimin was able to be persuaded by him to eat wild boar meat was only forced by the situation. Now the person in front of him is a master who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can he be moved by his words?
I saw that after Hai Fugui listened to Chen Fang's words, he stood up from the banquet suddenly, and without saying a word, he directly stretched out two fingers, poked into his throat, and picked hard.
Regardless of whether the other people at the banquet felt disgusted, he threw up on the table all of a sudden. A large pool of semi-digested substances was so evil that those who listened to the sound and smelled it were churning in their stomachs, and they almost vomited out, and for a time the faces of everyone at the banquet were extremely pale.
But Nahai Fugui was not enough to offend people, and after vomiting on the spot, he wiped his sleeve with his sleeve a little, then he shook his hand and said to Chen Fang: "Lord Chen, this official will tell the emperor truthfully about this matter, as for how the emperor will deal with it, then our family can't control it, and His Royal Highness King Qin......" He glanced at Li Shimin with great disdain, and said: "Your Highness actually eats such filthy meat, I'm afraid that if this matter reaches the emperor's ears, it won't sound good." ”
After that, regardless of everyone's obstruction, he flicked his sleeves, strode and kicked it, and walked straight towards the outside of the yamen.
Seeing that he was so resolute, he said cruel words before leaving, everyone's faces were extremely ugly, Chen Fang wanted to explain one or two, but his body had not fully recovered, and as soon as his butt left the stool, his body had already shaken and redone.
But he struggled to get up. Li Shimin held him down: "Mr. Chen, it's better for this king to explain, I believe that Gonggong Hai will also give this king a thin face." ”
Seeing that Li Shimin took the initiative to explain, Chen Fang only nodded at Li Shimin in response, and did not make any pretentiousness.
Li Shimin drank back Feiyunwei on the left and right, chased him out of the yamen, and stopped Hai Fugui outside the yamen.
"Father-in-law Hai, the good banquet has not been dispersed, and the good wine has not been drunk, why did you leave early?" He smiled with great affinity, and as he spoke, he saw a large ingot of gold stuffed through.
However, Hai Fugui did not intend to give him the face of the prince, and did not take the silver, but smiled coldly and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, although the wine is good, the meat is very dirty, and good wine with stinky meat is like a bald donkey with a nun." Do you think it needs to go on? ”
After speaking, he didn't care how ugly Li Shimin's face was, shouted at the guards who protected the order, jumped on the high-headed horse, ran away in the night without looking back, and disappeared into the long blue brick street.
Looking at the back of their group walking away, Li Shimin, whose face was like iron, shouted two words inexplicably - "Pray for peace." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared out of nowhere and stood respectfully beside him.
"Pray for peace, I don't want this to reach my father's ears."
