Gorou still doesn't understand that the festival is a place to make a scene, so he is very disdainful of the girl's big change of face, and he still has a black face and is not close.

Chen Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly, and patiently explained to Wulang that these girls are not even prostitutes, they are just the little sisters and sisters who accompany you to drink, and the work of other people just makes you comfortable and makes you feel happy to eat this meal, don't be too demanding.

Gorou said in a sullen voice: "Our brother is so comfortable alone, why do you want these bird girls to mess around here?" ”

"Hey......" Chen Ke cried and laughed, "You're twenty, brother." ”

"So what?" Gorou's eyes widened and he said, "We don't want to be next to her." ”

"Forget it." Chen Ke waved his hand and motioned for the girl to step back, although the girl was reluctant, but Gorou glared at the pair of bull's eyes, which frightened her and jumped off like a rabbit.

At this time, the curtain of the door was raised, and several hotel guys with swallow top turbans, purple shirts, and silk shoes and socks came in with trays. As soon as he got started, he said in a long voice: "Eight dishes of seasonal fruity medicine, goose pear, citrus, pomegranate, sheep peach, yellow apricot...... "Ten plates of dried fruits, longan, hazelnuts, pine nuts, almonds, Hujiao", "Eight incense medicines, licorice flowers, cinnabar balls, atractylodes ginseng, olive blossoms......" "Eight plates of carved nectar, carved bamboo shoots, honey winter melon fish, papaya large sections, carved kumquats....... "Ten dishes of preserved meat, meat threads, shrimp cured, meat cured, wine vinegar and meat ......."

A wide and long dining table was filled in a blink of an eye, and it was hard for later generations to imagine that these were called 'Kanpan', and the meaning was not mainly used for eating, but for good looks. Of course, no one will stop you if you want to eat, but don't regret that you don't have anywhere to stuff in your stomach when the main course comes up.

What is even more unimaginable for future generations is that all the dishes and utensils in front of each person are made of exquisite sterling silver. There are more than a dozen people eating and drinking at this table, and all the tableware adds up to a few hundred taels of silver, so the store is generous to the guests.

In fact, not to mention eating in the store, the big restaurant saw the small hotel come to play two or three times, so they dared to lend it three or five hundred taels of silver wine utensils, even if the poor citizens and brothels came to the store to call for wine, the restaurant also used the silver utensils to give some overnight drinking to get it back the next day, and it was not lost.

Occasionally, the restaurant lost silverware, and the literati recorded it as a novelty

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then, according to the preferences of each guest, the hotel served more than a dozen bottles of wine, including Yuxianlou's special jade liquor, as well as national famous wines such as Xifeng and Jiannanchun, but unfortunately there was no Huang Jiao

"Little Brother Vulna." Song Duanping asked: "Why doesn't your hotel have the famous wine Huang Jiao from our hometown?" ”

"I'm sorry, officer." The guy said politely: "There are more than 10 million famous wines in the country, and the ability of our store is limited, so we can only take one out of a hundred." It made everyone laugh.

"This shows that our Huang Jiao can only be the king and hegemon in Shu, and outsiders still don't recognize it." Su Shi smiled: "Why don't the third brother open a wine shop in Bianjing?" At that time, we will have Huang Jiao to drink again. ”

"In this big market in Beijing, we will definitely have a piece of the pie." Chen Ke said with a smile: "When I inspect and investigate, I will write a letter to Li Daguan." ”

Everyone talked in such a relaxed manner, and the girls who accompanied the wine served them wine, peeled fruits, and took snacks, while laughing and teasing these boys. It didn't take long for these untrained hairy boys to be coaxed to the bone.

After a while, the guy re-entered and asked with a smile, "Guest officer, can you serve food?" ”

After Chen Ke nodded, the idlers and girls in the room started together, removed the dishes on the table to the small machine on the side, and re-scalded the wine, and the guys came in with the old high dishes and bowls, which were naturally also silver.

I only heard the guy sing: "The first one, crab stuffed orange, sheep tongue up" ,..."

In high-end restaurants, they are all divided into meals, and everyone gets a share in front of them. Because there are so many dishes, in order to save space, there are two separate plates in each lamp, which can hold two dishes at the same time.

Chen Ke and the others grew up eating stir-fried vegetables, and they thought that they were at the forefront of the times in eating, but they were all dumbfounded when they saw the food cooked by the famous chef of Yuxian Building.

Look at these dishes, you will know what it means to never get tired of eating, never getting tired of stewing!

For example, the "crab stuffed orange" is to cut off the yellow ripe large orange with branches, cut off the top, remove the pulp, leaving only a little juice, and then put the crab roe, crab oil, and crab meat in the orange, still cover the original section with the top of the orange with the branch that is cut off, put it in a small retort, steam it with wine, vinegar, and water, and add vinegar and salt to the table.

The 'crab stuffed orange' is a whole large orange, surrounded by chrysanthemum petals, roses, and orchid leaves.

This is the job of those wine girls, who obediently pick up the orange lid with ivory chopsticks, and a unique fragrance of crab, wine and chrysanthemum comes to the nose. When the heat dissipates, look at the orange again, the crab meat is lovely, and the soup is crystal clear.

The ladies scooped a spoonful of crab meat with a trumpet spoon, blew it gently, and carefully brought it to the mouths of the officials. The scholars put the crab meat in their mouths, which is not only fragrant, but also fresh and ......, and what makes people so intoxicated is that this artistic atmosphere of new wine, chrysanthemum, orange, and crab color and flavor blend can only be produced in very few dishes.

"I want to write a poem!" Su Shiji moved: "But I have to wait until I'm full." ”

"You were out there just now, aren't you full?"

"When I see such beautiful things, I will become a hungry ghost!"

"I see that you are a hungry ghost reincarnated, hahaha" ,..."

After eating this fresh and timeless crab stuffed orange, the girls put the 'sheep tongue stick' to everyone's mouth. When this dish is on the plate, it is like a blooming yellow lotus, placed on the fresh lotus leaves, although it is elegant, it will not lose its color in front of the previous dish.

When you bite into it, the outer layer is a shredded meat roll wrapped in a golden dough, but when you chew it carefully, it is different from ordinary mutton, the meat is delicate, not to mention, and it is crispy and chewy, and it is a lamb tongue. Take another bite, there is still a meat puree wrapped in it, chew it gently, smooth and refreshing, and the most valuable thing is that it is full of umami, it is actually fresh fish minced!

Chen Ke was completely convinced, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "Chuanfu, or let's stay in Chengdu, and when we go to Bianjing City, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the way......"

'The second one, white kidneys with wine vinegar and fried doves with three fresh bamboo shoots.

，

'The third lamp, the dove and the totoaba are burned. ，

'The fourth, crispy leaves, honey melon fish. ，

'Fifth ......'

'Sixth ......'

A wonderful dish that makes people cry is served, these days the dumplings from the south and the north are in tears, it is so delicious, did I eat pig food before?

Even Chen Ke had to be convinced, the Huaiyang cuisine, which was the best at Chuanfu, had no chance of winning in front of these Bianliang dishes with all colors, flavors, shapes, and names, .......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When a group of people in the same year were feasting and changing glasses, they suddenly heard a noise in the restaurant.

Because Chen Ke had an enemy, he was extremely alert, and he looked back. Zhang Wu, who was idle, had already seen that Chen Ke was a rich man who had invited guests, so he naturally focused his attention on him, hurriedly went down to check, and ran back after a while, and said with a smile on his face that picked up his wallet: "The officials are so blessed, everyone Du actually came to sing ...... temporarily." ”

Because Chen Ke is a foreigner, he explained: "Du family, but we are one of the top ten leaders in Bianjing, and the singing skills are one of the best, how many dignitaries and nobles are waiting for her to perform ......, thanks to the boss of our Yuxian Building, who once praised her back then, and Du family is very affectionate, so they come here to sing once a month." ”

"Then why do you say temporary?"

"Because the end of the month is the day for her to sing, today the Du family was going to go to the Runan Palace, but who knew that the old prince suddenly fell ill and was temporarily vacant. They came to our house nearby. Zhang Wu said with a smile: "The officials haven't seen it, are people rushing in?" If I had known that everyone Du was coming, I would have made sure that I couldn't book it ten days in advance. ”

"It's so popular." Chen Ke said with a smile. Hearing him say this, the female prostitute next to him was not only not jealous, but said with a nymphomaniac face: "Of course, it is said that before Liu Qigong died two years ago, he wrote a word to the Du family." ”

"Ugh...." Speaking of Liu Yong, Chen Ke regretted it again, it was easy to come to the Song Dynasty, and it was a pity that he didn't see the dreams of men and the idol side of women. and Yan Shu, who also passed away last year...... It's a shame I didn't ask for an autograph.

But speaking of which, Liu Yong is also a son of the Liu clan in Hedong

Putting away his thoughts, he turned around and leaned against the railing to die, and saw that the position was good, facing the stage in the patio, at this time, Nadu had not yet appeared, but the stage was already crowded with the audience who were waiting for it; Looking at the floors upstairs, the drinkers also opened the bead curtains and looked down, the atmosphere of waiting for everyone was like Chen Ke's previous life, in a certain hypermarket, he met a certain emperor superstar.

Su Shi was in a lot of commotion, and he didn't care about eating, so he leaned over to the railing and looked down. Gorou and Zengbu, but neither of them is interested in big stars, so let's bury their headaches there",...

At this time, the guy came in with a candlestick, put it on the dining table, and explained to Chen Ke and others in a joking manner, because of the needs of the performance, the brilliant lights in the restaurant will be temporarily extinguished.

When the candlestick was lit, hundreds of lights in the restaurant were extinguished, and only the eighteen lotus lamps on the stage were still bright. The darkness quieted the restaurant and focused everyone's eyes on the bright stage.

I heard the sound of the cloud board, followed by the bamboo flute, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, eight palace girls with clear bodies, starry eyes, waist scarves, and fans on their backs, all came on stage.
