Chapter 911: Divine Will

Everyone looked at Gu Ye, the organizer and the provider of the lottery headβ€”or ...... Will you pick one out? Just kidding, such an offending thing, Gu Ye is not stupid, how can he do it? Her eyes rolled around, and she took four paintings that added up to tens of thousands of taels and came to the flower hall.

When the guests saw that they were sitting in the flower hall at this time, could they still not understand the noble couple of the emperor and the queen? The four old painters held back the excitement in their hearts, and they were a little apprehensive.

These people are not distinguished from each other in terms of painting skills and artistic conception, and their fame is also among them. They are very polite and harmonious with each other on the surface, but in fact, they are all holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, and they all want to press each other on this rare occasion. As a result, there was a tie!

The little divine doctor showed the painting to the saint, and the first place at that time was hand-picked by the saint, which is similar to the hand-picked champion. That person is almost the champion of the calligraphy and painting world hand-picked by Chrysostom Yuyan! Can you not get excited?

Gu Ye held the painting again, and said with a smile: "The emperor said that several of them are masters in the world of calligraphy and painting, and there is no doubt about their painting skills. If you have to choose one, it's just a personal preference! ”

In the expectant eyes of the guests, she finally announced that the old painter surnamed Zeng, who painted landscapes, won by one vote, and the others were all equal. With a wave of his hand, Gu Ye decided: the other three calligraphers and painters tied for second place, and they all enjoyed the second place.

The four old painters were very satisfied with this result, the youngest of them had also passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and the eldest was close to the age of antiquity, and various diseases began to appear as the body functions aged. There are small miracle doctors who tailor pills or medicinal diets to them, and they can suffer less from many diseases.

They were glad to have heeded their family and come to the meeting. If you want to put it on hold in normal times, it is difficult for them to see the little divine doctor, and the emperor has expressly forbidden it not to disturb the little divine doctor easily, plus the door of King Ning's mansion is notoriously difficult to enter, and the general relationship may not be able to enter.

I heard that King Ning also posted to several other old guys, and those old guys pretended to be high because of their identity. I wonder if they will regret hitting their heads against the wall when they hear about the color of this party?

The next banquet made them feel that it was worth it. The whole beef feast does not mean that all dishes are made with beef, but it has opened their eyes. They never knew that there were so many ways to eat beef!

Sauce beef, braised beef, spiced beef, boiled beef, spicy cumin beef strips, red stewed beef pot, potato roast beef, onion stir-fried beef, tomato beef stew, black pepper beef tenderloin, pan-fried steak, West Lake beef soup......

Even the scraps can be made delicious. Like braised beef tendons, soft and rotten, liked by elderly friends; The spicy beef face meat let the guests know that the original beef face can also be eaten, and it is so delicious; Cold salad spicy noodles, who would have imagined that such a delicious cold dish was actually made with cow tongue?

There are also thousands of tripe and spicy beef shutters...... The offal soup has also gained a lot of fans. You must know that in the past, these ingredients, they, the powerful and high-ranking officials, have always been dismissive. And the chef of King Ning's Mansion turned decay into magic, and he actually cleaned up clean and delicious!

In addition to a variety of beef, fresh and varied vegetables are also popular at banquets. In winter, there are so few vegetables to choose from, and there are a few kinds of green leafy vegetables that can be planted in the hot spring village. Cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, beans...... These vegetables were present at the feast, making the guests suspect that they had a winter vacation.

The table is popular with all kinds of fresh seafood, such as abalone and cucumber wings, lobster, sea crab, not to mention the size, and the cooking techniques are also novel. The Buddha jumping over the wall in Qingfeng Building, which could not be booked half a year in advance, has a large altar on each table, so that those long-awaited gourmets are satisfied.

The dim sum after the meal is simply something you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't eat at your banquet! Fresh melons and fruits are enviable. The guests only hated their lack of stomach, and many of the delicacies that followed could only be watched with greed - because their stomachs were so uncomfortable that they couldn't eat them.

At the end of the banquet, Gu Ye had to give each person a diet pill. I'm really afraid that some greedy guests will have trouble eating at her banquet. Alas, I would have known that I wouldn't do so many types, who would have thought that these high-ranking officials and magnates would also be like this - they can't control their appetites!

Emperor Shengde went out on patrol in micro-clothes, and in addition to the guards, he only brought one father-in-law Li Shun. Dining in the palace, so many pairs of eyes staring, no matter how delicious the dish is, it can't be sandwiched for the third time, it's just ...... Annihilation of nature, unreasonable to the extreme!

When I came out today, I was finally able to have a happy meal, and Emperor Shengde even threw off his cheeks and ate hard! However, there are so many kinds of delicacies that each dish tastes amazing, and he can't taste each dish for the third time, so he ...... Full!

Not only Emperor Shengde, but almost all the guests regretted that they had a small appetite, and some dishes were just tasted and couldn't hold on to the end!

Emperor Shengde saw that his wife and children were eating happily, and waved his hand: "Reward!" ”

This reward word is not for the owner of King Ning's Mansion, but for the chef who cooks these delicacies. Everyone who participates in the cooking will have a reward of ten taels of silver!

For these twenty or so tables of banquets, Aunt Guangyan will definitely not be able to do it alone with the people in the small kitchen, and she specially invited the most ace chef of Qingfeng Building from all over the country to come to the rescue.

Many of the dishes at this all-beef banquet are new dishes, and they not only learned a lot of new skills, but also reaped an unexpected joy - the emperor's reward! These ten taels of silver, they want to take it home and offer it, this is not ordinary silver, this is the emperor of the Ninety-Five, it has a special meaning!

The subordinates of King Ning's Mansion, although they have been busy for many days, are very busy. Not only did they receive a reward from their master, but they also gave them the rest of the feast.

You know, many of the dishes at the banquet are almost the same as those that haven't been moved. The dishes praised by the nobles are tantamount to earth-shattering food for them, and after eating them, it is like a dream.

Because there are many left, even the slaves who sprinkle and sweep and the servants who feed the horses are all given a dish. Like those masters who are waiting for the maids and grandmothers, they are even more rewarded, and when a few people get together, they can almost make up a table for a banquet! The people of King Ning's Mansion are so happy at night as if they are celebrating the New Year.

Ning Wangfu feasted for the first time in many years, which made the elite in Beijing talk about it for a long time. The guests who were lucky enough to receive the post to attend this banquet, especially the female guests, would take the trouble to tell the "whole cow banquet" over and over again.

When the little girls got together, they also had a conversation about picking fruits and vegetables by hand. When I got home that day, many elders found that their daughters (granddaughters) were not only eating but also holding - the melons and fruits picked back were really sweet!

Those who did not have the opportunity to participate could only listen with envy, guessing from the descriptions of others the deliciousness of the dishes that they had never seen or heard before. They already knew that there was Princess Ning in Qingfeng Building, so they always paid attention to it, if Qingfeng Building got a cow one day, they could almost fight for a dish!

And Gu Ye, the "initiator", was not very happy to look at the cost of the whole cattle banquet: "Oops! I will never have such a party again, and I will try my best not to say it, the point is that it is too expensive! Those guests were so good to eat that they ate up two of my cows! There are other expenses - husband, I feel distressed, my liver hurts, and my flesh hurts! ”

"How much money was spent, I'll make it up to you!" Ling Juechen felt that his daughter-in-law was a little wealthy, and the thief was cute.

Gu Ye didn't soothe it: "Your silver, isn't it all mine?" It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! And my conservatory, it's ruined, you ask for leave tomorrow, hurry up and help me transplant the fruits and vegetables again! ”

"That's it! If you look at the gifts you receive, your heart may not hurt. Not to mention anything else, the works of Yuan and the four calligraphy and painting masters, if you take out a single sheet and sell it, you can also return to the original! Ling Juechen pinched his little daughter-in-law's nose.

Gu Ye threw the ledger aside and went to look at another gift list. In terms of the social class of the Ning Palace, those who can receive posts are either high-ranking and powerful, or relatives of the emperor, and most of them have a background in their families. Ning Wangfu feasted for the first time in more than 20 years, how could he be embarrassed to take out his hand when he was too low?

Although the gifts are cultural relics, antiques, calligraphy and painting treasures, jade jewelry and the like, its value is there. The gifts sent by dozens of families added up - Gu Ye silently calculated in his heart, and suddenly his heart did not tremble, his flesh did not hurt anymore, and his waist was straightened:

"If it weren't for the fact that it was too hard to hold a party, I would have wanted to make money professionally, and the money would have come too quickly, right? Let me think about it, the whole rabbit feast, the whole deer feast, the whole sheep feast, the whole game feast ......"

"Alright, alright! I don't lack your silver flowers, why are you so obsessed with money? Ling Juechen was reluctant to let his daughter-in-law be tired, so he thought about it for several days just to set a menu, and he had to soak in the kitchen to try the dishes...... Even if he can earn a mountain of gold and silver back, he won't do it!

Gu Ye thought about it, except for the two years she had just worn, she really hadn't been short of money to spend in this life: "Maybe...... It's the problem that I got used to in my previous life, right? ”

"What past life, what this life?" The eldest princess Rong He walked in and asked with a smile.

Gu Ye was flustered for a moment, but when her husband held her hand, she quickly calmed down again. She smiled and said, "Mother is here, let my mother judge." A good daughter-in-law like me, being able to marry is it a blessing from my previous life? ”

The eldest princess Rong He was stunned for a moment, as if she was surprised by her cheekiness, but she still said very cooperatively: "Yes, our stinky boy must have been a great good person in his previous life!" ”

"I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life and cultivated a lot of blessings, otherwise how could I have met such a good mother-in-law?" Gu Ye made an "OK" gesture to her husband behind her back and successfully passed the test.
