Chapter 16: Serving
By the time Ye Yan and Song Buyu finished asking what they wanted, the sun at noon had already slanted, and it was falling lazily. The jade archway sent dinner, held by the delicate maid and the handsome maid, and presented it one by one.
The first dish must be tea soup, which can clear the mouth and wake up the stomach. But everyone sat around this round table for an afternoon, and the tea lady drank four or five cups, and they were not interested in this procedure, and most people's tea soup did not move, only Demon Ye and Ye Yan politely pretended to take a sip.
Then it's time to go to the "cold fight". In the whole banquet, Yunfei has always been the most looking forward to this program, and the reason is very simple, that is-good-looking. The waiters and maids came one after another, and put the skimming plate and lotus plate one by one, and there was a plate of goldfish made of cooked fish, and the silk-like tail fin and dorsal fin made people admire the ingenuity of the chef; Another plate, is placed in the cold three friends, the red and pink plum blossoms scattered in the gray and black branches, looming, the pine root system is strong, the needle-like leaves and roots are visible; There is also a plate, which is a bright red phoenix, the phoenix head is high, the phoenix's beak is slightly open, as if it is singing softly in the sky, and the tail feathers are unfolded, and the layers are clear......
The round table rotated, and all kinds of cold spells flashed in front of Yun Fei's eyes one by one, but he didn't move his chopsticks, only held his chin, one by one, and admired it like a change of scenery.
"Haha, if you don't move, then I'll be the first to eat!" Li Anqing didn't care about anything elegant, haha, he directly reached out and grabbed the fish balls that were decorated as pearls in the shellfish, and stabbed them all into his mouth.
Yun Fei smiled unknowingly when he saw Ye Yan, and also stretched his chopsticks to the table - he was also hungry.
After a while, the drinker came. All of you here are men, so they naturally like alcohol, and this sake is in the stomach, and taking advantage of the slightly drunk momentum, people talk more.
"Demon boy, drink, drink, if you don't drink this cup, you will look down on Liu." Unexpectedly, this festival envoy who had few words in the afternoon turned out to be a "drunken madman", a man in his forties, who came up and pulled the demon night to pour him wine. The waitress next to her was stunned, and hurriedly hugged the wine jar and snatched it back.
Demon Night waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly said "ashamed", he didn't seem to be able to drink much, Yunfei only saw him take a sip, and hung the glow-in-the-dark cup that had barely touched there.
"Na, Brother Liu, the demon boy is too much to beat, what are you forcing him to do? If you want to drink, I'll accompany you! Ye Yan said to the envoy across the table, raising the cup to fill it with the waitress holding the wine behind him.
Wang Fushang was also delighted, with a chubby face, leaning on the back of the chair and humming a little song with a smile, self-absorbed. Li Anqing drank even more happily, saying hello to the left for a while, walking to the right for a while, and had to touch the cup with Ye Yan across the big round table.
Yun Fei shook the luminous cup in his hand, and couldn't stop smiling. Is this atmosphere called a banquet?
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge ......"
"Why don't you drink it? I'll drink with you! Come, go one by one! Ye Weiyang's amount of wine was not very good, his tongue was three points bigger under the two cups, he hugged Yunfei's shoulder, grabbed the wine glass and was about to pour it
He.
"I ...... I can't! Don't, don't pay for it, I can't drink it...... No alcohol! Yun Fei saw that the cup came to his mouth in a blink of an eye, and quickly dodged it, but most of the cup was spilled on his thigh.
"Why is this 'banquet wine' that you say you will drink and drink, and if you say you don't drink it, you won't drink it? Drink it down! Ye Weiyang forced him and refused to forgive.
Fortunately, the main dish came up, and Yun Fei escaped.
When it is fried, the aroma fills the whole room, and the fried crispy tenderloin, the cherry meat wrapped in a rich sweet and sour sauce, the oily but not greasy tamales, the brightly colored braised fish, and the spicy chicken...... Ye Weiyang had long forgotten to force Yunfei to drink, and the chopsticks in his hands flew, as handy as the operation of yin and yang, sweeping the delicacies on the table.
The people present, including Demon Night, couldn't hold it back, grabbed the chopsticks and were eager to try, and took a bite of fragrant and spicy belly bursting, Demon Night exhaled contentedly, and mumbled.
"If you want to say that the most I can't let go of this red dust, it's this stutter." His heart was on the dishes, and his eyes looked at Song Buyu and said.
"Didn't the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths say anything - pure heart and few desires!" Song Buyu swallowed what was in his mouth and took a sip of wine.
"Whew! Those people are - extermination of humanity! "Demon Night is very dissatisfied, as if he is not a member of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths." It's not that I splashed them with dirty water, those people, all arrogant, like immortals, but who doesn't know, how can there be immortals in this world? β
"Don't say it, don't say it!" Song Buyu laughed and stopped the demon night, "Don't get angry and even scold yourself!" β
"So what? I just want to say, I just like the red dust world, not the nine heavens and ten earths! The demon didn't drink alcohol in the night, but he seemed to be drunk, his cheeks were crimson, and the pair of phoenix eyes lined with him were even more evil.
He is really like a monster coming out of the forest and the abyss, and his smile is different from that of mortals. At that moment, Yun Fei was surprised to find that he actually thought like this.
This hot stir-fry is not only the vegetables and meat, but also everyone present. People are like the ingredients in that pot, gradually from cold to hot.
Here comes the big dish. Whole roast pigs and roast sheep were served, some people screamed incendiaryly, and table manners were useless at that moment.
The meat is roasted tightly and locks in the fresh aroma, but when a knife goes down, the oil juice and meat aroma burst out like an explosion, and the taste is unstoppable.
"What's the point of a couple of men eating? Stop pouring your wine, sit down and sit down! Li Anqing turned back to the maids holding the wine jar and said. Several girls knew what to do, they first glanced at Wang Fushang, and after getting his consent, they immediately laughed, and Yingying Yanyan hugged together.
The other maids also acted together, and three or four young and beautiful women sat beside Jiedu Envoy, Wang Fushang, and Song Buyu, including Demon Night.
"No, no." Several women approached Ye Yan, but he waved his hand to stop them. Ye Weiyang glanced at his brother strangely, and quickly lowered his head
Go.
"This stunner in the world is no more than a 'demon boy and a girl', and Captain Ye doesn't like 'a girl', and the cute 'demon boy'?" When Wang Fushang saw his move, he looked like he understood, and said with a smile on his fat face.
Ye Yan raised his eyes, looked at him for a while, and then shook his head and smiled. At this time, the demon night seemed to gossip up, with two hands on the table, leaning forward, and smiling evilly
"Brother Ye, this person will always have love in the world, either male or female, you don't touch either, why?"
Ye Yan looked at him with some playfulness and raised his eyebrows. "I'm not telling you."
"Don't, don't," Demon Night walked out of his seat, came to Ye Yan, leaned down, and whispered to him. Yun Fei noticed for the first time at this time that there were shallow, vein-like lines on his neck.
"Then whisper, whisper to me, what do you like? I promise - a hundred guarantees, absolutely not to say it! β
You don't have to guarantee it, Yun Fei muttered in his heart, I can hear such a loud voice.
Ye Yan turned his head sideways and looked at him with raised eyes, I don't know if he was going to tell him, but at this time, he only heard someone knock on the cup with a "ding", and the demon night raised his head and saw Song Buyu actually got up and walked this way.
"For the sake of the same door, Song must give a cup to the demon son."
He raised his hand and let the maid beside him pour wine, his two eyes were as sharp as an eagle and held the demon night, his lips pursed, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed to be smiling.
The sky was getting darker, the lights were getting brighter, and the flickering candlelight cast shadows on the face of the demon night, shaking brightly and extinguished. He lowered his head slightly, his sword eyebrows went into his sideburns, the tails of his eyes were raised, and the look in his eyes became playful.
"Song Gongzi, can there be three hundred taels of silver here?" He touched the table, grabbed a glow-in-the-dark cup, and raised his hand to fill it.
Ripples ripple in the glass, and the shadow of the lamp sways in the wine. Yun Fei saw that Song Buyu's gaze suddenly blurred and sharp in the increasingly brilliant candlelight, and he didn't know if he was drunk or sober.
He raised his glass, and with a crisp "ding", he hit the mouth of the demon night's cup. "The demon boy seems to like to inquire about things that have nothing to do with him?"
Demon Night shook the luminous glass in his hand, and the sake inside almost spilled. But instead of laughing, he shook his glass, narrowed his eyes, and pretended to laugh out loud
"Isn't Song Gongzi also fond of caring about things that have nothing to do with him?"
Song Buyu smiled, his fingers holding the wine glass were white, although he didn't show it on his face, Yun Fei knew that he must be angry in his heart.
Demon Night raised his glass defiantly, he didn't want to avoid it, but wanted to add fuel to the fire.
The two looked at each other dangerously, as if they were about to start in a few seconds.
"Enough! Toast and toast, all standing there, still drinking? At this moment, Ye Yan suddenly turned around, pretended to be angry, reached out and grabbed the wine glasses of the two, drank them in two sips, and slammed them on the table.
"The respects are finished, and the things that should be said are clear, go back, go back!" He waved his hand impatiently, as if he was going to blow up if the two of them stood here for a second longer
So so.
Demon Ye glanced at Song Buyu contemptuously, turned around and left, the latter hesitated for a second, cleared his throat, and said in a somewhat restrained tone
"Well, that...... Cups, cups. β
Ye Yan raised his eyes and looked at Song Buyu with a little drunkenness, and after a long time, he pushed the luminous cup in his hand out.
Just when the atmosphere in the room was at its peak, the beets began to be served, and the large pastel, blue and white porcelain bowls were filled with viscous and crystal white fungus sweet soup and rock sugar lotus seed soup.
Along with the beets comes desserts. Warm hazelnut crisp, crispy fried fresh milk, and lotus paste egg yolk mooncakes with butter...... Most people are filled with big fish and meat, so they don't have much interest in these after-dinner desserts, and when the desserts on the half table come up, they actually encounter a cold scene, which really makes Yunfei's heart hurt!
He is reserved on the surface, but when each dessert crosses in front of him, his chopsticks dance, and he quickly "grabs" the next piece, elegantly puts it on the plate, and tastes it little by little. In the past, Luo Qingjia was the kind of person who didn't eat the main dish at the family banquet and only aimed at desserts, even if he changed his identity and gender, this habit still couldn't be changed.
But when the dishes on the round table turned around again, Yunfei found a strange phenomenon, people were obviously not interested in these small snacks, but those dishes that only he took a piece of were mostly gone when they turned around again! At first, he didn't care, the broken sponge cake and meat floss scallops gradually skipped in front of his eyes, but when he saw that his favorite coconut pie was not left, and the hot egg tart was only puff pastry, he felt that he should be targeted!
With his hands fast, he forked as many desserts as he could onto his plate, and a small mountain instantly rose from the palm-sized white porcelain plate. His gaze followed the turn of the round tableβ
Demon Ye held chopsticks in one hand and a fork in the other, looking at the empty plate that turned in turn in front of him with a suspicious expression, and suddenly, as if he realized something, he looked sideways at Yun Fei.
Eyes collided in the air, and both of them narrowed their eyes vigilantly.
At this time, the last fruit was finally served.
