As soon as he took a few steps, he saw Chef Liu walking up sweating profusely and whispering a few words in Zhao Da's ear. When Zhao Da heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly went up to the third floor.

Seeing that all the young ladies were enjoying the bonsai and didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat, Zhao Da said softly to Boss Wang: "Don't worry, the meals are ready, and they will be served immediately." ”

Hearing this, Boss Wang's heart that had always been hanging finally let go. No matter how beautiful these bonsai are, these people are hungry for a while. After a while, if you can't serve the food, it will be a complete trouble.

Besides, today's theme is still longevity, and it can't be overshadowed by these flowers and grasses. Thinking of this, Boss Wang smiled and said, "Ladies, young ladies." I'm sorry to keep you waiting, and you'll be ready to dine right away. The longevity fruit will come up immediately. ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't really care. Gu Xixi was a little inexplicably nervous. Longevity fruit, longevity fruit, how can this name sound so familiar. It's just that I can't remember it for a while.

At this moment, Mrs. Qin also came, and when everyone saw the ceremony, she went to talk to Mrs. Lu, and she didn't notice the longevity fruit that Boss Wang said.

If she heard it, she would be shocked.

Slowly, someone came up to serve the food.

I saw twelve girls in the same color, wearing the same clothes, each holding a large clay pot with delicious dishes in his hand. After the twelve clay pots were placed, finally another chef came, holding a large clay pot in his hand, but he could see what it contained.

Seeing this, Boss Wang stepped forward and said: "These dishes are carefully prepared by our store, I hope you ladies and ladies can choose at will, and pick up what you like to eat." As for the one in this large clay pot, it is the protagonist of this banquet, the longevity fruit. Please use it slowly, if you have anything to tell you, the small one is at the staircase. ”

After saying that, he retreated to the staircase and stood, neither seeing the dining inside nor hearing everyone's shouts.

The people walked over to the food with their plates with great interest, and when they saw what they liked, they took their chopsticks and clamped them. Even the Qin family found it interesting and said to Mrs. Lu: "This is a bit interesting, especially this chopstick, you see, there are in every basin, how clean it is." ”

Mrs. Lu said, "Isn't it! Speaking of which, this is the first time I've eaten like this. I just don't know what that longevity fruit is? ”

In fact, everyone has maids, but they would rather do it themselves for such an interesting thing. Sometimes, being a noble lady is also quite boring, clothes come to stretch out, food to open mouths, after a long time, they are a little bored.

As soon as she heard the words "Longevity Fruit", Mrs. Qin inevitably thought of what happened eleven years ago, and her heart skipped a slight beat, but she tried her best to stabilize her mind and said, "I don't know what it is, it's just food." It's just that how can there be longevity? When I saw this room full of flowers and grass, I thought it was about flowers. ”

Mrs. Lu said: "Why hasn't Mrs. heard that this banquet is the Immortal Fruit Banquet." ”

Hearing this, the Qin clan was completely flustered. It's just that she originally thought that this was an ordinary banquet, but Liuyunxuan wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and took advantage of everyone's momentum to make a fortune.

She and Bai Zhixian also wanted to use this to win over everyone and build momentum for him.

Now it seems that it is actually based on the theme of longevity.

Thinking of this, she had a bad premonition in her heart. I just hurried to comfort myself again, it had been more than ten years since then, and no one knew about it. Maybe it's where this food came from.

When everyone picked up their favorite dishes and returned to their seats, someone said to the immortal fruit: "Will it be delicious if it is so dark?" The other said, "I also think it's too ordinary, and I think it's something precious." ”

"Yes, I listened to the propaganda before, and I thought it was some kind of delicacy."

As soon as the two finished speaking, they heard a seven or eight-year-old girl say: "Mother, this immortal fruit is really delicious, I still want it." ”

When the people saw that she was eating sweetly, they did the same, peeled one and put it in their mouths. After eating this food, I fell in love with it completely. As the little girl said, this longevity fruit is too delicious.

All of a sudden, everyone began to eat these boiled peanuts.

It's a pity that when they first saw that this immortal fruit was pitch black, everyone only took a few symbolically, and they ate it in the blink of an eye. The young lady was embarrassed to get up again to fetch it, but the ladies were not afraid of it. At home, they not only have to serve their husbands, but also be filial to their in-laws, and they are pressed down by the creed of three obedience and four virtues at every turn.

But now they were the biggest in the place, so they took the lead and walked over with the plate, and naturally it was no longer the small plate just now. Someone took the lead, and the ladies were naturally no longer reserved, and automatically lined up to scoop the immortal fruit.

After a while, a pot of boiled longevity fruit bottomed out, and there was not a single one left.

I loved this taste very much, so I called Boss Wang to come and asked him to serve some more.

Hearing this, Boss Wang said with regret on his face: "This young lady, I'm really sorry, this longevity fruit is too rare, and we have worked hard a few days ago to buy only a few dozen catties at the price of twenty taels of silver a catty, but today it is gone." If you still want to eat, Miss Trouble will come back tomorrow. From tomorrow, Liuyunxuan will provide a limited number of longevity fruits, and only one pot will be sold a day. ”

Seeing that the young lady pouted in disappointment, Boss Wang added: "By the way, there are still three plates of fried acacia, and then they will arrive." ”

"Fried Acacia?" Hearing this strange name, everyone was stunned and instinctively read it along.

"Yes, fried acacia, which is also made with longevity fruit, will be served in a while, please wait."

Although he had long expected that everyone would like the longevity fruit, but now that he had seen it in person, Boss Wang couldn't stop being happy in his heart. Haha, from tomorrow, he really sent it.

After a while, the maid who had just boiled the long fruit appeared in front of everyone, holding two plates of fried peanuts in her heart. One plate is red and sprinkled with salt, and the other is white and covered with frosting.

As for the third set, there was really no way, as soon as she walked to the second floor, she was snatched by the men on the second floor, saying that it was just right to drink. In their minds, the women just had to eat some pastries.

When the fried peanuts were put away, everyone did not hesitate to eat peanuts for the first time, but were a little impatient. As soon as you put it in your mouth, you will bite it with a "creaking" sound, followed by a mouthful of fragrance.

In contrast, the ladies prefer fried peanuts, while the ladies prefer those with frosting.

This was temporarily taught by Ye Feng to the pastry master. I thought it would be difficult, but I didn't know that people did it easily.

In this way, everyone chatted, drank tea, and ate peanuts, and before they knew it, the two plates of peanuts were wiped out again.

Just now, the seven or eight-year-old girl saw that the peanuts were gone, and thought of what Boss Wang had just said, thought about it, and ran to the stairwell by herself, and said to Boss Wang: "Shopkeeper, what you just said counts?" ”

What you just said? Thinking of what he said about the limited supply of longevity fruits, Boss Wang nodded and said, "Naturally, it counts." "As for the shopkeeper or anything, he doesn't care.

Hearing this, the girl said: "Okay, tomorrow's fried acacia, I want to order a plate, and I want the kind coated with sugar, that is, the kind that is white, don't be mistaken." By the way, if it is done, it will be sent to the Li Mansion, which is Reed Street. ”

Boss Wang was happy when he heard it, but he also patted his chest and said, "No problem, Reed Street, right?" The small one is written down, and I'll send it to you tomorrow when it's ready. ”

Hearing this, the little girl happily returned to her seat, causing the ladies and ladies to burst into laughter.

His mother Fang was even more hilarious, and said a little embarrassedly: "Why do you say that this girl is so bold, according to me, but she is greedy." It's just that if you have the ability to buy it in the store yourself, why should you report it yourself. It's okay now, everyone should know, our Li Mansion is delicious! ”

Hearing this, the ladies said, "Madam, in my opinion, this is a good thing. If you want to say that none of us have been detained since childhood, we can't do this, we can't eat like that. The door is not out of the door all day. It's good that the little lady has this courage, and you say who she looks like, haha, isn't it like when you were young. ”

Many of these ladies were friends with the Fang Clan, so they naturally knew the decisive style of the Fang Clan when he was young. For a moment, they all laughed. The little girl just asked for a plate of food, and it was really not a big deal.

Compared with the warmth and elegance of the third floor, the second floor is simply lively.

After learning the lesson of the third floor, Boss Wang knew in his heart that if the second floor was the same as the third floor, the longevity fruit and vegetables would be colored together, but I was afraid that it would be like the third floor, eating less vegetables and eating more longevity. On the second floor, these are all drunkards, and they can't live without peanuts.

If the magistrate speaks, can he not do something? Even if he doesn't, he has to take care of the other party's face.

Therefore, seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Boss Wang asked Zhao to serve the boiled longevity fruit and fried acacia.

Of course, the plate of "fried peanuts that were cut off by the second floor" in Boss Wang's mouth was actually the one he took the initiative to ask Zhao Daduan to enter. Anyway, these ladies and ladies on the third floor don't drink, so it's okay to eat more edamame.

So, when the people on the third floor had already started eating edamame, the second floor had started eating peanuts.

The first thing to serve is boiled peanuts.

Seeing that everyone was drinking, they spoke more openly, and the atmosphere was surprisingly good, Zhao Da put down the peanuts and learned from Boss Wang's and retreated to the stairwell. The officials were all flattering in front of Liu Xi and Bai Zhixian, so they didn't go to get boiled peanuts for a while.

On the contrary, those students who wanted to come forward to talk, but did not have the opportunity for the time being, heard Zhao Da say that the theme of today's banquet was coming, so they stepped forward with a plate and prepared to take some with interest.

As a result, when he saw that the black color was not beautiful, he was a little displeased, changed the plate, and took some back with a small plate.

Among these students was Zhao Min, who was pulled over by his classmates because of his honest appearance and funny speech. He grew up in the village since he was a child, and the amount of food has always been large, so he was the only one who took a plate full of boiled peanuts.

As long as it is eaten, he will not refuse.

It's just that after retrieving it, I didn't start eating it as soon as possible, but sat aside and continued to eat the abalone cucumber wings I had just picked up. On weekdays, he can't afford to eat these things. If it weren't for the blessing of his fellow disciples, he wouldn't have come today.

Just kidding, fifteen taels of silver for a meal, he didn't dare to come if he was killed.

When the students saw that the plates in front of him were piled up very full, and they were eating sweetly, they felt that even they had an appetite.

At this time, one of the students picked up a longevity fruit at random because of boredom and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt unbelievable, how could such an ugly thing have such a taste. I tasted another one for a while, and I felt more delicious, and after taking another sip of wine, I felt more comfortable.

I was about to blurt out for everyone to taste, thinking that the clay pot was so small, it was estimated that it would soon be eaten up.

Thinking of this, he was also a scheming person, so, taking advantage of the fact that everyone didn't care, he walked over with two plates, filled two large plates, one for Bai Zhixian and one for Liu Xi, and then said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, you also taste this boiled longevity fruit, it is really delicious." In my opinion, it is worthy of the four words of delicious food in the world. ”

Liu Xi is on the rise, without him, just because he has always been lonely and self-promising, he has always felt that officialdom is dark, and Bai Zhixian is in it, so it is inevitable that he will be blackened.

However, as soon as I chatted, I immediately felt that Bai Zhixian was a rare person, and he was extremely knowledgeable in knowledge and government affairs. In addition, Bai Zhixian deliberately greeted him, and said that Liu Xi was interested in all topics, and Liu Xi looked at him more and more.

In addition, through conversation, I learned that he did not pass the last big exam, and I felt that the reason why such a talent did not pass the assessment was entirely because of the above reasons. Bai Zhixian looked aggrieved again, and Liu Xi felt that he was probably unwilling to go along with most of the people.

So, the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and they had a great feeling of hating each other.

Therefore, the student asked him to use it slowly, and he ate one without thinking too much. I was surprised that there was such delicious food in the world.

So, I also recommended it to Bai Zhi County, who humbly asked for advice on the side.

Bai Zhixian is naturally no exception, after eating one, he was quickly impressed by the taste, and after eating several in a row, he freed his mouth and said: "Well, the longevity fruit, it really deserves its reputation, and now I am still wondering why this banquet is called the longevity fruit banquet, and now I finally understand." Come on, come on, everyone taste. ”

For a while, everyone began to eat peanuts and drink wine, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

So, like the third floor, a pot of boiled peanuts quickly bottomed out.

Seeing that the peanuts in front of Bai Zhixian and in front of Liu Xi had been eaten, and there were no more in the pot, the student shouted: "Shopkeeper, come here." ”

Zhao Da was struggling in the stairwell, he heard the speed of those people eating peanuts and the sound of praising peanuts, and he knew in his heart that it would be gone immediately. No, before he could slip away to call Boss Wang, he was named.

Fortunately, Ye Feng taught him a rhetoric just now, and he doesn't know if he was fooled in the past, but at least it is a rhetoric, and he can drag it out.

Thinking of this, Zhao Daben organized the language as he walked. When he came to him, he pretended to ask, "I don't know what this brother commands?" ”

The student was not polite, and said directly: "This boiled longevity fruit is gone, you go to make some more and send it up, we will drink wine and eat." ”

After speaking, he quietly pointed in the direction of Bai Zhixian and Liu Xi, "Then, I saw that you were thoughtful and thoughtful." These two adults love to eat, so you can be quicker. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Daben looked embarrassed, thanked the man, and then walked past him to the front and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry!" The little one is here to accompany you first. This longevity fruit is newly obtained in our store, the amount is very small, and it is very difficult to make. Just this pot of boiled longevity fruit, it takes more than half a day to cook. We also have no experience and no prior preparation. The owner said that from tomorrow onwards, only one pot will be sold every day, and please ask everyone to please be early tomorrow, I can't help it today. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi and Bai Zhixian knew that it was difficult to cook or not, and it was true that they wanted to sell in limited quantities, but this was also someone else's way of making money, so there was no need to care.

Especially Liu Xi, who has always been diligent in government and loves the people, so he said something to relieve the siege: "That's it, just come back tomorrow." It's just that if there's anything suitable for wine, bring it up again. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Da breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "There are still some boiled edamame beans in the store, the same deliciousness, I'll serve them immediately." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly went downstairs.

At this moment, he finally understood why the owner had to go to the third floor, and he thought that he was really thinking about him and wanted to serve those difficult ladies and misses. In fact, when it comes to the state after drinking, who has a difficult situation with these people on the second floor.

He was "calculated" by the owner, but he still thought that he had picked up the fat difference. Thinking about it now, it was Ye Feng who relieved him.

When the edamame was served on the table, everyone tasted it, and the taste was not half a star, but it really didn't have the feeling of fried longevity. However, it's not bad, and it's better than nothing.

There are those who feel that they are still unsatisfied, so they want to come to Liuyunxuan early tomorrow and book one to take home for their family to eat. As for Zhao Min, he poured all the dishes of boiled peanuts into the book bag while people were not paying attention.

Anyway, he forgot to put the book in when he went out today, and this bag is just right for peanuts at the moment.

Compared with the second and third floors, the first floor is actually the most lively.

The people sitting on the first floor were peasants, or people from all walks of life, who were more emotionally close, but they spoke in a few words.

And it's not so exquisite, the voice is loud, the mouth is wrapped in food and chewing while chatting, you eat mine, I taste yours, etc., in short, the whole hall is full of life.

The Huang family became good friends with several pungent little daughters-in-law in a short time, to the extent that they had nothing to say. This is how her personality is, and at this moment she meets someone with the same hobby, it is simply very happy.

Although most of the dishes on the first floor are vegetarian dishes, and the meat is more fatty than lean meat, they don't care, and it is really worth remembering and boasting about being able to participate in such a banquet. After today, they can go back and boast that they have eaten with Bai Zhi County.

When the boiled peanuts were brought to the table, they were not picked up by themselves like on the second and third floors, but by several chefs, and one person was given five.

"What is this? It's pitch black, who wants to eat it. A simple daughter-in-law said.

Hearing this, Huang said proudly: "Hey, big sister, you can't say that." You don't know it, it's the fruit of eternal life! Let me tell you, I'm not lying, this longevity fruit is really delicious. If you don't want to eat it, then you can give me all of them. ”

The daughter-in-law saw that Huang really stretched out her hand and wanted to take it, so she immediately protected it on her chest and said, "I mean it, but it's because I don't know it." Since you said it was delicious, I'll try it. ”

After saying that, he peeled it and ate it.

When everyone saw that she didn't speak, but only knew how to eat wildly, they knew that Huang was not lying, and they also picked up the food in their bowl and ate it. A little daughter-in-law even shouted while eating: "Oh my God, what is this, how can it be so delicious!" I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life. ”

There was the one who had his children and family in his heart, and only ate one, and the remaining four were quietly put in his pocket, ready to be taken back and shared.

"It's delicious, it's just too little."

"Yes, this shopkeeper is too picky, and one person gave five."

At this time, Huang appeared again and said loudly: "Less? You say that, it's because you don't know how much it costs. Let me tell you, this is ten taels of silver a pound, you are too little, it would be good to have something to eat. ”

"You didn't coax me, did you, this costs ten taels of silver a catty?"

"I lied to you?" Huang hates that others don't believe her words, "Let me tell you the truth, next year our village will plant this immortal fruit." ”

For a while, everyone surrounded the Huang family and was busy inquiring about the details. What's more, they began to inquire about the seeds.

Mrs. Liu has always been unaccustomed to seeing the Huang family acting there, although what she said is indeed the truth, but if the secret is passed on, Chenjiacun will not want to have a stable life. In the days to come, every family is afraid that their relatives will come to their door to inquire about the longevity fruit, and even want to take away some seeds.

If the Huang family could only be regarded as showing off and saving face before, then this moment is a bit too much, and it must be stopped.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu coughed a few times, she had always warned and reminded the Huang family in this way.

Unbeknownst to him, there were too many people here, and the voices were loud, so Huang could not effectively identify Mrs. Liu's voice.

I heard her continue to boast: "In the village, I have two good sisters, one is my second brother and sister, oh, it's her" Huang pointed to the Zhu family who was eating, and continued: "The other is the sister of the Fan family." After listening to my words, they went to the field for a long time, one turned over one catty, the other turned over three catties, and they all exchanged a lot of silver! ”

Aunt Cha and Fan were not here, so she had to temporarily pull someone to act as her sister. If everyone doesn't believe it, they really want to ask, and they think that the Zhu family will help her get through.

"God, if it's ten taels of silver for a catty, wouldn't that three catties be thirty taels of silver!"

"Yes, this is simply the world's lost silver!"

"Is there anything else in the field? I'll flip through it if I do. ”

"Do you think there's more? If there were, it would have been turned over a long time ago. ”

However, there was a woman about forty years old, known as Ergou's daughter-in-law, who asked: "If you want to talk about ten miles and eight towns, there are really not many people with the surname Fan." The girl of the Fan family you are talking about can't be the foreign surname household in Zhangjia Village, right? ”

Ergou's daughter-in-law's family is notoriously lazy to eat, and when they heard the Huang family boast that Chenjia Village was going to plant longevity fruit next year, they had some bad ideas in their hearts. Hearing the Huang family mention the Fan family, I prayed in my heart that it must be the Fan family in their village.

Huang didn't have a sense of crisis at all, clapped his hands and smiled: "It's really a coincidence, I remember it clearly, she did marry from Zhangjia Village to our Chenjia Village." By the way, her father is called Fan ...... What is Fan? ”
