Chapter 583: Wandering Feast
Lanting Qushui is good at flowing and moving the banquet to Qingqiu.
The sun shines softly with a bit of warmth. Beside the shallow stream, covered with wool carpets of various colors, wearing red and green Beijing noblewomen's doors, sitting gracefully beside the gurgling water, smiling and choosing their favorite food.
The reason why Liuquan Villa got its name is because of this long winding water and the grand event of "flowing water". The official of the previous dynasty, when he had a son in his later years, feasted guests here, and even the emperors of the previous dynasty praised him.
The literati and ink writers mostly used to drink for fun, and at this time, there are delicate wooden trays floating on the liuzhen, on which are placed small utensils, on which a variety of delicacies are dazzling. Ladies can choose what they like, let the maids take it from the curved water, and taste all kinds of delicacies.
Such a feast is naturally new and unique. The ladies may be three or five of them, sitting together, or two of them, or enjoying the purity alone. The food that floats slowly in the qushui is refreshing in terms of color, shape, aroma, and taste.
The ladies who boast of being detached in the rules have broken the habit of eating and sleeping without saying anything in this relaxed and comfortable environment. The county lord of Shunrou was sitting next to Gu Ye, and what she was eating was a plate of shredded pork with Beijing sauce.
Thin two cakes, two or three chopsticks shredded meat, such a portion is more suitable for ladies with a small amount of rice. If you can't enjoy it, don't worry, you can also take another plate from the water!
After eating the two cakes, the lord of Shunrou County said unsatisfied: "Why do I think that this taste seems to be the craftsmanship of 'Qingfeng Building'?" ”
"Qingfeng Building? Can't you? I haven't heard that the chef of Qingfeng Building is still cooking banquets outside! The county lord of Suining glanced at the county lord of Anya, who was chatting with Gu Ye on the side, and pouted, "If she had that ability, King Qing wouldn't have looked for someone to replace the table everywhere when he had a banquet last time!" ”
"County Lord, are you looking at the plate to see if it is Dongpo meat? Isn't this one of the signature dishes of Qingfeng House? Wang Liluo pointed to a tray floating over and gave her maid a look.
Qinglian hurriedly stretched out her arm, took the tray with a piece of fat and thin Dongpo meat, and presented it to her girl. Wang Li fell into the slightly complicated gaze of the county lord of Suining, and tasted the piece of Dongpo meat, which was exactly the same as the taste of Qingfeng Building. She slowly nodded at the Suining County Lord!
The county lord of Suining frowned and said, "You can't taste wrong, right?" ”
After she finished speaking, she motioned to her maid, took a plate from it, and put it in her mouth to taste. Her face was even more unhappy - it was really the taste of Qingfeng Building! I didn't expect this Anya to really have this ability, and invited the chef of Qingfeng Building!
Gu Ye pulled Yuan Haiqing and Lin Ruohan to sit by the stream of Qushui, and personally stretched out her hand to get her favorite Dongpo pork and sweet and sour pork ribs. On each small tray, only one or two pieces of food are placed. A few of them, take the food, put it in their mouths, and then put the utensils aside and continue to fetch other delicacies.
Other ladies, some people saw them eating more arbitrarily, and some wanted to follow suit, but they were afraid of leaving the impression of unruliness on others, so they could only watch with envy.
The county lord of Shunrou hesitated for a moment, then left from the small side, came to the water's edge and sat cross-legged, stretching out his arms to reach the food he liked. Each food is so delicate and tastes so delicious. Almost everyone of these ladies who didn't have a lot of food used more than usual.
Gu Ye touched his bulging belly and said with a smile: "This song is quite interesting, I want to repair one on my own Zhuangzi, when it's okay, invite a few friends to get together, don't have some fun." ”
Yuan Haiqing said with a smile: "In your Pearl Pavilion, you live near the water, can't you build a small liuzhen?" ”
Gu Ye was a little moved, and finally gave up: "My yard has just been completed and moved back, so I won't toss it." ”
"By the way, I heard from my mother that you have built a glass conservatory in your garden. Your father and mother really love you, and they are willing to spend such a big price to repair your warm house! Yuan Haiqing couldn't help but sigh.
When the county lord of Shunrou heard this, he leaned over and asked, "Glass greenhouse?" Is it made of glass? How much glass does that have to be used! ”
Gu Ye said with a smile: "It's just a small shed made of glass." My mother likes to grow orchids, and the precious orchids are not easy to survive in winter, so I thought about building a greenhouse and planting some precious flowers and plants, so that they will not be too monotonous ......in winter."
When Gu Ye said this, he couldn't help but feel a little weak. In fact, in that glass conservatory, all the fruits and vegetables she likes to eat are planted at this time......
The county lord of Suining stretched out his ears not far away and listened. Her princess has no other hobbies, except one thing - she likes camellias, and there is no shortage of precious varieties in the family. However, every winter, these delicate camellias are extremely difficult to preserve.
In the warm house at home, in winter, charcoal fires are burned almost every day at twelve o'clock to provide warmth. The temperature of the greenhouse is difficult to grasp, high or low, will have an impact on those precious camellias. The gardeners in the family changed batch after batch, but they could not find one that satisfied their mother.
Although not long ago, there was a disagreement with Gu Ye just now, but the county lord of Suining had the upper hand on the eldest princess's filial piety, and couldn't help but come up and ask, "Can I ask, where can I buy glass?" Who helped build your glass conservatory? Can you recommend it to me? ”
Gu Ye naturally wouldn't be as knowledgeable as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, but the glass and craftsmen were all made with the help of Brother Chen, so she couldn't be the master. However, she didn't completely block the way. Because if the glass workshop allows, it is also a lot of income to build a conservatory for the dignitaries and nobles!
"The glass conservatory in my house is because I have some relationship with the owner of the glass maker, and they helped me build it for free. The craftsman is also provided by the other party. However, I can convey to him your desire to build a glass conservatory. As for whether to accept or not, we have to respect his decision. ”
The county lord of Anya bumped her with her shoulder, and almost knocked her into the Qushui Spring, but Yuan Haiqing helped her so that she didn't make a fool of herself. Gu Ye was so angry that he glared at her with his eyes - you murdered!
Lord Anya smiled apologetically, "I really didn't mean to. I didn't think I was using much strength, who knew you were so weak......"
"Do you think that everyone is like you, as strong as an ox?" Gu Ye angrily went back.
The county lord of Anya glared: "Who is strong?" It's clear that you're weak, but you still don't admit it? ”
"You were caught off guard and hit by someone else?" Gu Ye kicked over and imprinted a small footprint on the other party's buttocks. The county lord of Anya is the master who suffers, and he pounced on her to tickle her, and when Gu Ye was in a hurry to dodge, he accidentally bumped into the county lord of Shunrou.
The county lord of Shunrou has always been unaccustomed to Anya, and angrily scolded her for having no rules. Anya replied...... For a while, Gu Ye was laughing and making trouble, which was very joyful, which attracted the attention of the ladies.
Enough trouble, the county lord of Anya sorted out some messy clothes and hair, squeezed his eyes at Gu Ye and said: "Honestly, did the origin you just said save the life of the owner or family of the glass workshop, or did you make medicine for others?" ”
Gu Ye said half-truthfully: "When I was in Yancheng, the owner of the glass workshop was seriously injured, and I happened to meet ...... "Other things, naturally self-evident......
The county lord of Anya couldn't help but sigh: "The divine doctor is really a divine doctor, and he is popular wherever he goes!" ”
"Look at me......" Gu Ye pointed to her face, seeing that Lord Anya looked confused, she continued, "What do I look like a miracle doctor?" Shouldn't the divine doctor be an old man with crane hair and a childish face, a long beard and a hanging chest, a fairy wind and bones, and an unpredictable face? ”
The county lord of Anya slapped Gu Ye on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Praise you for your good medical skills!" You're still hypocritical! And the owner of Qingfeng Building, is it also 'quite related' to you? ”
"How do you know......" Gu Ye suddenly remembered today's dish, and said with round eyes, "Did you hide it from me, in my name, what did you do?" ”
The county lord of Anya turned his eyes away with some weakness, and said hesitantly: "What about this...... Actually, it's not pulling your tiger skin...... I'm just ...... It's just that I found the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building, hinting at today's banquet, which is just to celebrate for you. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was so good that he sent a cook over and personally took charge of the spoon for you. Ahem...... Stop, I'm going to strangle someone! ”
Gu Ye grabbed her neck with both hands, shook it vigorously, and gritted her teeth and said, "I said that Qingfeng Lou, who has never accepted banquets outside, how could he make an exception and send a cook over!" It turns out that you girl, in my name, are swaggering and deceiving! ”
"Why did I swindle? I'm not wrong! Today's banquet was originally held for you. If it weren't for the celebration of your achievement of the title of ninth-level pharmacist, I would have eaten enough to support it, and spent thousands of taels of silver to wrap up the Liuquan Villa, and spent so much effort to make this flowing water feast? "The lord of Anya kept shouting.
"Flowing Water Feast? This song of water is so elegant that it will become a 'lower riba person' in your mouth! Gu Ye glared at her and let her go for the time being.
The county lord of Shunrou said disapprovingly on the side: "Today's banquet, you are out of the limelight, but the favor is to Miss Ye'er's back." Anya, Anya, you've got a good plan! ”
The county lord of Anya waved at her, and said impatiently: "How can you interfere in the matter between me and Sister Ye'er?" You don't sow discord on the side! Sister Ye'er, don't worry, I will give Qingfenglou a big thank you gift and explain it to them clearly. This favor will never let you pay it back! ”
"This is only one time, not the next one!" Gu Ye is not used to her. This Anya is a mallet, you knock and knock her, and she will be cheeky in the future!
"No next time!" Lord Anya looked serious and solemn.
