Standing behind Xu Zhiyuan were Gao Fengji's twin maids, Jin Ru and Yuru, but she herself did not come.

Two identical cardamom girls, this is the first time they have gone far away, hiding behind Xu Zhiyuan with two pairs of big eyes looking left and right, their eyes are full of curiosity and surprise.

"Enlightened son, the star lord originally came to congratulate in person, but unfortunately he felt cold yesterday, and he really couldn't move, and he begged for forgiveness." Xu Zhiyuan explained with a dodgy gaze, and Chu Fan immediately heard something strange - what kind of occasional cold, I'm afraid it's just an excuse.

Thinking so in his heart, Chu Fan's smile remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" The lord of your star is unfortunately sick, and it is important to recuperate...... Is it a big deal? We have a lot of hanging pots here, ready to go. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! The star lord is just a small illness, how dare you work with the doctors," Xu Zhiyuan was even more embarrassed, coughed lightly, and twisted his face, "Erru, don't hurry up and present the star lord's gift." ”

After Jin Ru and Yuru responded crisply, they walked in front of Chu Fan with two red silk bags, and the latter opened them curiously, but saw that the essence light flickered, and it was the fish scale armor!

After a cursory look, Chu Fan found that the few nail leaves that were damaged when he was injured had been repaired, and what made him even more moved was that all the nail leaves on the fish scale armor seemed to have been removed, each nail leaf was polished and bright, and the cowhide rope that tied the nail leaf had also been replaced, so this armor looked brand new.

"Childe Rongyu, my young lady said," Jin Ru squatted and said, Yuru next to him immediately took over, "The mountain dwelling is simple, I really can't take out anything decent," Jin Ru immediately answered, as if talking about cross talk, "Only this fish scale armor is not only a relic of the ancestors, but also has a relationship with the son," "The sword is given to the hero, the red powder is sent to the beauty, the son is heroic, and the son is heroic, and he should use this armor as a congratulatory to the son," "I hope that the son is not too ugly, and he will appreciate the light and smile." ”

After listening to the cross talk between the two of them, Chu Fan was even more sure that this Gao Fengji was not because of some occasional cold, but for another reason - seeing that she put so much thought into this gift, I was afraid that she was absent because she didn't want to touch the scene.

Could it be that this girl is really interested in herself? Chu Fan couldn't help but see the tranquil melon seed face in front of his eyes, as well as the graceful figure under the long jade neck, so that he was a little absent-minded when he answered Erru and Xu Zhiyuan, and he didn't remember how he welcomed them in.

After entering the door, Xu Zhiyuan was separated from Erru - the male guests were seated in the main courtyard of the mansion, while the female relatives were led to the back garden.

Turning a corner door, Xu Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw a big stage standing on the huge school ground, on which a play was babbling and singing - if Xu Zhiyuan had been to Yangzhou, he would have recognized that this was a Kunqu opera troupe performing.

Around the stage, there are countless tables of eight immortals neatly arranged - this is the flowing water seat.

Many tables were full of people, shouting five and six to give orders, and the Shaoxing rice wine altar that was transported from Jiangnan thousands of miles away was only sent to each table.

The vast majority of people Xu Zhiyuan didn't know him, so it's no wonder that the first few batches of people who ate the flowing water mat were all craftsmen from Ushishima, of course he didn't know it.

The craftsmen are tightly controlled on weekdays, and even if there are occasional gatherings, they drink the locally produced mare's milk wine, which is as light as water; Today, I am happy, and the wine is also a rare rice wine, naturally there are some wandering remains, many people are running around with wine bowls, laughing loudly and looking for someone to fight for wine, and the atmosphere is extremely high.

But not all the Eight Immortals tables are so lively, there is a table in the southeast corner of the school field that is quiet, and all the red or yellow heads have been lowered, shaking off their cheeks and munching.

Needless to say, these are the craftsmen from Tessie on Ushijima, not that they don't know other craftsmen, or that they can't drink, but the reason for their hard work is simply - the dishes on the table are so delicious!

Chinese cuisine was unmatched by the rest of the world until hundreds of years later, let alone in the seventeenth century, when Europe was able to eat biscuits baked from fine flour. And the noodles that are everywhere in China, after Marco Polo introduced them to Europe, have become the supreme delicacy of the barbaric Germanic people and Slavs!

Speaking of which, Francis and the others have been to Niudao for a while, and they have also eaten a lot of Chinese food, so they are not so shallow; But this time Chu Fan's wedding, the cook was invited from Yangzhou, what braised lion's head, molasses elbow, Dongpo meat and other Huaiyang dishes not to mention Francis, even those Liaodong craftsmen have not seen it.

In addition, the tomatoes and peppers specially cultivated by Chu Fan have already begun to be mass-produced, and this time they are also provided to the kitchen on a large scale, so new dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers, and boiled fish are freshly baked.

The ingredients are novel, the dishes are chic, and these red-haired people who can't even get tired of eating noodle soup can still hold it, so they just have to swallow their tongues; One by one, they were so spicy that they were spicy, they were sweaty, and their cheeks were round, and even the craftsmen who were familiar with each other came to toast and hastily served a cup.

It's no wonder that the red-haired people don't know it, at this moment, in the big flower hall next to the school grounds, the sound of surprise is endless.

The people sitting in the big flower hall were all invited guests and people with more status in the Fuliao Army and the East India Company, so naturally there were no flowing water seats like on the school grounds; However, in addition to serving tea, everyone was also given two small plates in front of them, the white flour steamed buns the size of pigeon eggs were also returned, and the other plate contained a small lump of things that everyone had never seen before.

On the main table, Zheng Zhilong tilted his head and looked at the plate of red and black objects, which seemed to be some kind of sauce - the round black particles seemed to be tempeh, but Zheng Zhilong didn't know what the red minced pieces were; The tempeh and red mincs are fried in oil, giving them an attractive red glow.

"General Feihuang, this thing is newly developed by my Ushijima, and it is also called a hot sauce, Your Excellency may wish to try it." Chen Shangren, who was beside Zheng Zhilong, introduced, reached out and grabbed the steamed bun and broke it open, scooped up some hot sauce and filled it in, and handed it to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong thanked him and took it carefully, a fresh and spicy taste suddenly filled his mouth, and his fair face turned red.

Although it was spicy, the unique taste quickly made Zheng Zhilong want to stop, and after eating the tea, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Spicy!" But it's really fresh! ”

"General Feihuang praised it falsely." Chen Shangren smiled slightly, and he couldn't hide the smugness in his smile - Chu Fan added sun-dried sea intestine powder to this hot sauce, how could it not be fresh!

After a polite sentence, Chen Shangren continued, "After soaking this spicy soy sauce, it can be stored in a clay pot sealed with mud, which can ensure that it will not be bad for three or five months." ”

Zheng Zhilong thought about it for a while, and immediately understood what Chen Shangren meant, and asked in surprise, "This hot sauce...... Could it be your ...... New products? ”

Chen Shangren smiled even more, nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "This thing is very well seasoned, and it is not far from being popular all over the world!" ”

Zheng Zhilong was dumbfounded when he heard this, turned to the stack of oily hot sauce, and pondered.

They only cared about talking, but they didn't notice that one of the little people shuttling back and forth had already heard their conversation clearly! (To be continued.) )
