Chapter 5 The King of the West Feasts

The food was served very quickly, eight large plates, twelve small dishes were full of a table, Xiao Yungui's eyes widened, originally he thought that Xiao Chaogui was now leading the army to attack, and it would be considered haode if he could eat a bowl of hot rice, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.

"Master, these dishes are all famous Hunan dishes, and I don't know if they fit my lord's appetite." A fat cook nodded and said, with a thick Hunan accent, I saw that his eyes were too fat, and he only had a slit left, and his hands were wiped from time to time with the apron tied around his waist, the apron was greasy, and the fat hand was greasy no matter how he wiped it, and it was a little disgusting to look at.

Li Zuo, who was on the side, pressed the handle of the knife, stared at him and scolded loudly: "What a big lord, this is His Royal Highness the Western King of our Heavenly Kingdom!" ”

The fat cook was startled, his legs were weak, he knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic and bowed again and again: "The prince is above, the villain has eyes without beads, and the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please spare your life......"

This cook looks like he is in his forties, much older than himself, watching him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy like this, Xiao Yungui is very uncomfortable, is this to worship himself as a dead man? For the ancient ritual of kowtowing and bowing at every turn, Xiao Yungui did not experience any sense of superiority from it, but felt like a thorn in his back, very uncomfortable.

"You get up and speak first." Xiao Yungui waved his hand, wanting to help him, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so in the end he didn't stretch out his hand, but just asked suspiciously: "What are these dishes?" Xiao Yungui has also eaten a lot of good things, but the dishes in front of him are all Hunan cuisine, and he rarely eats Hunan cuisine in the past.

The fat cook wiped the sweat on his forehead, stood up tremblingly, and pointed to the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one: "These are the famous dishes in our Hunan cuisine, this plate has cured meat and steamed, five-yuan fairy chicken, hemp kernel crispy duck, Dongting golden turtle, Daozhou gray goose, all of which are cooked with haode ingredients, the chicken is the famous Taoyuan chicken in Hunan, the duck is the Linwu duck, the goose is the Wugang goose, and the Dongting golden turtle is the golden thread turtle in Dongting Lake." Twelve small dishes with rock sugar Xianglian ......"

Xiao Yungui raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "This is Chaling, why are there so many ingredients from all over Hunan?" ”

The fat cook bowed down and replied: "The county master Guo ......" As soon as he said this, Li Zuoche shouted angrily: "What kind of bullshit is to know the county, it is the Qing demon who knows the county Guo Shishi!" ”

The fat man hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it is Guo Shishi, the Qing Demon Zhixian County, he was originally good at eating the world's food, and it will be his birthday in a few days, so he spent a lot of money to collect these ingredients in various places to prepare for the banquet, but I didn't expect the prince to lead the troops so quickly, yesterday Guo Shishi had to take his family to escape from the city overnight, and he left in a hurry These ingredients are all gone." ”

Xiao Yungui suddenly realized, he dared to love this Chaling Zhixian Guo Shishi is a delicious person, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to purchase ingredients, but he didn't eat a bite, and it became the trophies of the Taiping Army.

At this moment, Tang Erniu reported loudly outside the door: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Guard Lin and General Li have arrived. ”

Xiao Yungui got up with a smile and said, "Erniu, let the two brothers come in." Xiao Yungui usually does this kind of eating, drinking, and having fun, and he has a group of wine and meat buddies around him, so he knows how to use some small favors to win people over. Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang, the two tiger generals, are now the most haode cards in their hands, and only when they play well can they have a little capital to fight with the king and the "heavenly father".

I saw Tang Erniu leading two men into the house, the first man looked about thirty years old, with a square face in Chinese characters, a short beard on his lips, a red scarf on his head, a collar of colorful robes, and a white jade belt wrapped around his waist, Xiao Yungui relied on Xiao Chaogui's memory to recognize this person as Lin Fengxiang. …,

Another man is also in his twenties, with a thin face, towering cheekbones, a figure-eight beard on his chin, and a red scarf wrapped around his head, but he is dressed in red, red short jacket, red bloomers, and high riding boots under his feet, this person is Li Kaifang. The difference between the two of them made Xiao Yungui laugh.

Xiao Yungui straightened his face, and after thinking about it for a while, he really couldn't laugh, the two of them were actually nothing in the Taiping Army, many old longhairs don't need to wear number clothes, but the headscarf must be tied, the general one is a red scarf, and only those who have been crowned kings can use yellow turbans. The soldiers of the Taiping Army wear uniforms during the war, and they are not very particular about it in peacetime, but there is one thing that the Taiping Army has done very well, that is, they absolutely do not wear the cheongsam and horse coat of the flag man, they want to wear back the clothes of the Han people!

But at this time, it has been nearly two hundred years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and many people can't tell what Hanfu looks like, so many Taiping soldiers would rather wear costumes than cheongsam and horse coats.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui couldn't laugh, an inexplicable sadness rose from his heart, most of the Taiping army were born as farmers, and the most simple thoughts in their minds controlled them, the ancestors of the Han people lost their own clothes and were forced to shave their hair and change clothes, it was not their fault for the Taiping army, and they rose up to resist and were unwilling to wear enemy clothes, which should have been respected, but sadly they were forced to choose costumes because they couldn't verify what Hanfu was like. This is not the ridiculousness of the Taiping Army, but the pathosis of the whole nation!

After Xiao Yungui took a deep breath, he suppressed this secretly surging qi, after all, he was not a person of this era, and he was not an angry youth, after a little emotion, he returned to his original mentality, it was important to save his life first.

At that moment, Xiao Yungui pointed to a few empty seats and said, "Come on, two brothers, hehe, let's eat together, these are all good things." ”

Lin Fengxiang pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed but he didn't speak, Li Kaifang smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Xi, I have been sleeping in the open all the way, and I haven't eaten such a haode thing for a long time." Then he pulled Lin Fengxiang and said, "Hurry up and thank King Xi." ”

Xiao Yungui was a little suspicious in his heart, this Lin Fengxiang's face is so stinky, can he have a grudge against him? After the two sat down, Xiao Yungui smiled and beckoned Li Zuoche and Tang Erniu to sit down together. The two of them were very flattered, and sat down after bowing and thanking them repeatedly.

When the fat cook saw everyone seated, he had the courage to bow down and laugh and said, "Lord Wang, you use it slowly, and the little one will go and prepare some fine wine for you, and there is still a haode ...... in the wine cellar in the house."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Fengxiang interrupted him with a broken drink: "Don't do these Qing Demon etiquette!" We're on the march and drinking a hairball! ”

Li Kaifang hurriedly kicked him, Lin Fengxiang looked down at the table in a daze, the small action of the two did not escape Xiao Yungui's eyes, he smiled, it seems that this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has really done enough, they hate the Qing court, even the Manchu Qing Dynasty's gift of beating a thousand.

Lin Fengxiang is right, now he is alone, and the surroundings are considered enemy-occupied areas, and several leaders in the army are here, and it is very bad if something happens when he is drunk.

Xiao Yungui hummed and said: "Brother Lin Xian is right, you can't drink alcohol at this time, and when Changsha is defeated, we won't be too late to drink." Then he glanced at the fat cook and said gently: "I can't finish so many dishes, you can also sit down and eat some." ”

The cook's face changed, and he smiled and said: "The prince has killed the villain, the villain is just a cook, how dare he sit at the same table with all the adults?" ”

Xiao Yungui felt that there was something wrong with this cook, so he lowered his face and said, "Don't you want to taste the food you cook yourself?" I'll sit you down! ”…,

The cook sat at the end with trembling leans and a pair of small squinted eyes staring at the plate of Dongting Golden Turtle, Xiao Yungui frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this dish?" ”

The cook's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "No, there's nothing wrong with it. ”

At this time, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others all saw that the cook was a thief, and there must be something wrong with this dish, Tang Erniu got up and grabbed the chef's collar and asked: "When I was cooking just now, I had my subordinates staring at you, what happened to this dish?" ”

The fat cook suddenly softened to the ground, kowtowed like pounded garlic and begged for mercy: "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life, the villain lard is blinded, and when the food is served, while the military master is not prepared, he adds some ingredients to it." ”

Tang Erniu was furious, picked up the fat cook and asked, "What did you add to it?!" ”

The fat cook lowered his head and squeaked, "Plus, add some villain spit into it......"

Hearing that Tang Erniu was about to fight when he raised his fist, Xiao Yungui hurriedly stopped, and then looked at the cook hahadaxiao, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others were very strange, according to the hot and stingy temper of King Xi on weekdays, even if this cook was not killed, he would have to be beaten. That Tang Erniu made the first move because he wanted to be ruthless, and the king of the west was angry, maybe he could spare his life, but he didn't expect Xiao Yungui to get up.

Xiao Yungui laughed for a while, got up and walked over, looked at the cook and asked, "I didn't offend you, why are you playing tricks on me?" ”

The cook lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yungui, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, you killed officials and rebelled in Guangxi, and our people in Hunan originally gave you a thumbs up and admired you." But now you have come to the border of Hunan, and you believe in foreign religion, our government and folk here are rumored that you kill people without blinking, but also coerce the people to be in company, those who do not follow you are killed, unlike your religious people are also killed, today the villain was arrested and did not let the villain go home, the villain knew that you must be coercing the villain to be a thief, so he was angry for a while, so he added material. ”

Tang Erniu shouted: "What anti-thief?!" We are holy soldiers, heavenly soldiers! The Manchu lackeys are demons and monsters! It's a clear demon! We are here to rescue you and go to heaven together, you don't know anything, and you believe it after listening to other people's nonsense?! Why don't you hurry up and kowtow to make amends?! ”

Xiao Yungui smiled and waved his hand: "This cook is also interesting, we arrested him, and it is normal for him to be angry, but let me tell you, our holy soldiers are the masters of the common people, specializing in dealing with those corrupt officials, banner people and bullies, how many towns have we destroyed along the way, if we are all coerced by the people, then how many people do we have?" It's not just the person you are now. ”

The cook grinned and nodded, Xiao Yungui looked at the dish, frowned and asked, "Did you often do this before?" ”

The cook nodded proudly and replied: "That Qing Demon Guo Shi is very tight, and he will be trained for a long time if he puts more condiments, as long as he reprimands him, I will add some ingredients to him, and he has been in the government for more than a month, and he doesn't know how much saliva he has eaten from me." ”

Xiao Yungui returned to his seat and sat down, ordered someone to put the Dongting Golden Turtle in front of the cook, and said with a smile: "You cook is really interesting, I won't punish you for anything, it's just that this ingredient is rare and can't be wasted, your own saliva is nothing." ”

The cook grinned and nodded fiercely, thinking that he would lose his life and at least be beaten, but he didn't expect that this prince just let himself eat this dish, but he was also magnanimous.

followed Xiao Yungui and beckoned everyone to eat together, but when he was about to lift the chopsticks, he saw Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others holding their hands to their mouths and chanting gently. Xiao Yungui slapped his thigh, thinking how could he forget this stubble? These buddies are all worshiped by God and are used to praying before meals.

At that moment, Xiao Yungui also followed a silent recitation: "Thank you Heavenly Father, give me food and clothing, and thank Brother Tian, give me food and clothing, the Holy Spirit is always there, residing in my heart, sweeping away demons, invincible." ”

Xiao Yungui read it out naturally, it seems that Xiao Chaogui was also familiar with it in the past, what kind of pre-dinner prayer is this? Don't forget to sweep away the demons when eating, no wonder the Taiping Army was extremely fierce at first, it seems that this Hong Sect Master's brainwashing kung fu does have two brushes
