"Bang...... Syllable! "Crackling......"

The long red swastika exploded on the ground, and next to it were many neighborhood children who came to join in the fun. The full-text and ad-free novels are all in the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network () and the bold little boy picks up the firecrackers that have not exploded next to him, and quietly stuffs them in his pockets with the intention of taking them back and playing slowly.

Suddenly, someone whistled and said that there was candy inside, "And sweet sherbet to drink!" The little ghosts immediately dispersed, and all of them rushed towards the two newly opened doors......

At the entrance steps of the mansion in front, there are many people and visitors. The neighbors who received the invitation nearby came to congratulate one after another, and several guards brought by Chen Tao also took off their military uniforms at this time, wearing a freshly made family uniform, and some clumsily learned to look like the servants of Chen Dalei's family next to them, and greeted the guests with a smile on their faces. The language they speak is still Mandarin learned by Chen Tao and other modern people, which is slightly different from the Beijing dialect of this period.

Tables and chairs have been set up in the courtyard, and in recent years, such large-scale banquets have been held in the open air, and if it is a heavy red and white ceremonial event, it will be held for a few days, and a tent must be erected in advance to prevent rain. However, Chen Tao and the others are not large this time, and they can finish it in one day, so they will all be placed in the open air.

The guests who were invited in sat around a large round table according to their old relatives, and naturally they could not help but talk about the new neighbor, who seemed to be a rich man at first before they came in, and the house was cleaned up for three or four months, only to make the neighbors uneasy.

Finally, the workers who work are quite acquainted, and when someone comes to complain, they always apologize with good words, "Sometimes they take the initiative to buy gifts and send them to the door to dredge up the compensation, which makes it difficult for the neighbors to delve into it, after all, this year, the first place to buy an industry is a major event related to future generations, and it is normal for people to do it carefully." Besides, people are just making trouble in their own children's yard across the high courtyard wall, and unrelated people are not qualified to care about anything.

But after all, it has brought a lot of trouble to the neighbors, and now inviting everyone to have a meal is also the meaning of the question. In the past few years, the situation in the Ming Dynasty has been getting worse and worse, and in the capital, "the life of the common people is becoming more and more difficult", and a few ordinary people who are more greedy for appetite can't help but start to guess what kind of banquet the host will set up to entertain them?

"I don't know how this baby is going...... How do you say that there are always four big bowls and eight big plates, right? Otherwise, the four-color fine dots we sent would be a loss. ”

"Brother is too eyeless, you look at the fine brick floor in the courtyard, your house may not be able to be paved: look at the glass palace lamps hanging on the aisles on both sides, if you have this lamp, are you willing to put it outside? also hangs and slips; Not to mention the small building in the back...... See? Look at the window, what is the sparkling inlay~ glass! This game has only become popular in the past two years, and I heard that even the Imperial Palace Ouchi "is only in the house of the Long Live Lord...... This family is not ordinary! Four bowls and eight plates? "Cut, according to me, no matter what else, sixteen main dishes" are indispensable! ”

A few idlers muttered in a low voice while looking at the courtyard, which was different from the tradition of the time. They didn't wait long, and when the table was almost full, a guy with a white towel pushed a cart over, and asked the guests what they wanted to drink while placing a few plates of melons, peanuts, candy, honey and other snacks on the table to pass the time. Is it tea or juice?

Everyone is used to drinking tea, but juice is a novelty, so nine out of ten people asked for juice by name. Many people are still muttering in their hearts, is there still fresh fruit that can be used to juice and drink at this time? But immediately, they really saw the young man behind them push several large baskets of extremely beautiful golden oranges out, cut them one by one in public, put them in a wooden juice bucket, crush them, strain the juice with gauze, and pour them into transparent glasses, and finally put a cup in front of each guest......

Many people are stunned for a moment before they react, this beautiful cup is for themselves, "their first action after holding the glass is often not to rush to taste first, but to take a closer look" to think about whether this beautiful translucent liquid can be drunk? However, because he watched the guy operate it with his own eyes throughout the whole process, "it was indeed squeezed from fresh oranges, and it was asked for by himself, of course, it was impossible to retreat."

"Why, I'm not wrong" If such a beautiful citrus orange is taken out in the New Year's Festival and bought for a large family, it is the most suitable as a tribute to the ancestors, but the price is about to fly to the sky...... and it is really worthy of being a high roller from the south to squeeze juice so casually. The two talked about it again, and most of the neighbors here belong to the kind of masters who are not very knowledgeable but have a lot of knowledge. At this time, just from this glass of juice, it can be seen that today's meal must be almost the same, even the appetizers before the main meal are so exaggerated, and the back ones are definitely not bad.

After tasting the liquid in the cup with a little restraint, the old man who wanted to feast on it quietly shook his head.

"Sweet and sour, that is, orange, children may like it. In our opinion, it's better to have a pot of good wine to enjoy it......*** Every time you arrive in the spring wilderness, the court will ban alcohol, and after the New Year, you haven't smelled wine for a month. ”

Having said that, the old man unceremoniously asked for several glasses of juice one after another, seeing that the baskets of oranges had been used up, and was thinking about whether he could only drink tea instead, but he saw the young man in charge of hospitality push out half a cart of watermelon from behind, cut it open, took out a scoop and threw it in the juice bucket......

The juice is very good, but the weather is not very helpful" Today, the outdoor temperature is not high, and the guests are sitting in the open air blowing the cold breeze, and it is a little unsuitable to drink this juice again. Among the two old diners, the more discerning one only tasted a few sips of orange juice and watermelon juice, and then did not ask for more, on the one hand, it was a move to cherish the blessing and nourish the body, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent drinking too much water and looking for a toilet everywhere after a while. His friend, by contrast, was much more rugged, "drinking cup after cup and enjoying himself, and it wasn't long before he ran to find the root of the wall, clutching his belly...... But a moment later, he ran back triumphantly and bragged to his friend about how clean and tidy the toilet was, and if it wasn't for someone to guide him, he would never have imagined that it would be a place of reincarnation......

There are a lot of people who feel the same way as him, and most of the guests in the courtyard have drunk a belly of sweet water, which is still the male guests in the front yard are generally not very interested in sugar water. In the courtyard at the back, which is dedicated to women and children, "although the number of people is much smaller than in the front, the consumption of fruit is much larger than in the front." Finally, when the guests were almost all there, Chen Tao and Chen Dalei, as the hosts, finally came out to meet with everyone, and they didn't put on a show, "It's just that there are a few guests who come here today with unusual status, and they naturally want to accompany the distinguished guests inside." This can be understood by outsiders, and many people come here just to mix up, and the host is more comfortable if he doesn't come.

The two owners first said a word of apology and thanks, which was nothing more than a disturbance during the previous renovation, "Thank you for your forbearance." As the saying goes, neighbors are good at stuffing Jinbao, and in the future, everyone will live next to each other and take care of each other...... Everyone here is thankful. In the end, it was Chen Tao's sentence that was the most popular: "Big guy, eat well, drink well!" ”

In a burst of laughter, small carts were pushed out, this time to entertain guests, "Chen Tao and Chen Dalei they found a very famous time-honored restaurant in the capital to help with it", but the content, dishes, and even the order of the banquet are determined by themselves. These two bought houses in the capital not for simple living, they have a lot to do.

Chen Dalei is a businessman, and Chen Tao also intends to do business here, promoting their specialties from Qiongzhou, Hainan. Relying on Qian Qianyi's previous recommendation, all kinds of rare and interesting things from Qiongzhou, Hainan have gradually become popular among the dignitaries and nobles in the capital. However, Hainan Island can produce more than just luxury goods, "the ability to produce cheap and high-quality civilian products in large quantities is also one of their important advantages."

And taking the opportunity of this dinner to "make a name for Qiongzhou goods among the common people in the market, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity." There are no delicacies of the mountains and seas that have been made on each cart that has been pushed, and there are no four bowls and eight dishes, "only a pot, a charcoal fire is booming, and a steaming copper hot pot!"

At such a time when the climate is still cold, it is also in the open air to entertain guests, "What is the most appropriate thing to eat?"

One, of course, is to eat hot pot! Shabu mutton!

Shabu mutton is said to have been created by Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty, as the capital of the Great Yuan Empire, "and there are many Mongolian shoe officials mixed residence, the residents of Beijing are naturally no stranger to the dish of shabu mutton." When it comes to shabu-shabu, there are several time-honored brands in the south of the city, "Baishuiju", which is the most famous, and this time Chen Tao and they hired this old store to help run it. Dozens of mouthfuls of fat sheep that had been slaughtered yesterday had already been washed and recorded, "put it in the cold wind for a long time, frozen and hard, just suitable for slicing......

It's still a live performance: a few butcher guys are selling knives, a kitchen knife in their hands is flying up and down, and in an instant a fat sheep is cut to the skeleton, but there are a few more plates of thin lamb slices in front of them, if women and children are present, they may feel cruel, but there are some big men present, and most of them are greedy for appetite for old meals, and they are all applauded.

Without any delay, the processed mutton slices were quickly distributed to the tables everywhere, and the old diners were all excited, just waiting for the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion who was entertaining them to greet them, and seven or eight pairs of chopsticks were immediately inserted straight into it from all directions......
