Chapter 74: The Night Banquet

  Originally, with Li's heart, it would not be so easy to be stirred up, but there is a saying, being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival, in ancient times, because of the long distance and inconvenient transportation, there was an indescribable look for the hometown.

  Now, although it is only a little away from the capital, it is already a very long journey for the Li family, which has been in the boudoir for a long time, and when he is in the capital, even if his identity is different, he can be regarded as the third in command of the fourth elder brother's mansion.

  But now it's different, when he goes out, even Ji Yingxin only brings two slaves and maids to serve, and there is only Xiangxiu by Li's side, and because of the march, he has been following Ji Yingxin's side, and the Li family can't hold up the master's shelf, so he can only serve beside him, compared to ordinary slaves and maids, it is not much stronger.

  Speaking of which, it is also because Ji Yingxin comes from modern times, although he pays attention to the rules, he does not treat the concubines in the house too harshly on weekdays. You must know that in other people's mansions, it is common for concubines to serve their wives to get up, dress, cloth, cloth, etc., and if you change to any concubine in other elder brothers' mansions, I am afraid that you have long been used to it.

  Li is now a newcomer, so he naturally doesn't fit in, and when the two are combined, he can't help but show a look of indignation on his face.

  "What's wrong? Do you have any opinions? Seeing this, Yinzhen's face suddenly sank, his eyes were like knives, cold like ice, and swept over the Li family.

  Seeing this, Li Shi immediately shuddered, and then came back to his senses, standing in front of him was the cold-faced brother Yinzhen, and the fear of Yinzhen on weekdays also came to his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Concubine, concubine is tired of traveling and driving, for a while, for a while, I lost my mind, please also, please forgive my sins, the concubine has written it down, and I dare not disobey." “

  Seeing this, Yinzhen's face improved, and he looked at Ji Yingxin, "Now that you are encamped, where is Huang Ama to have something to order, the master will go over first, and the things in this tent will be handled by yourself, so you don't have to ask." ”

  "Yes, the concubine knows." Ji Yingxin nodded and said.

  As night fell, several huge bonfires were also burning in the camp, Ji Yingxin also followed the customs, changed into a flag suit, and went to the banquet with Yinzhen, only to see that not only them, but almost all of them, except for Kangxi's different status and status, or a dragon robe, even Concubine Hui and Concubine De and several other concubines also changed into a flag costume.

  On the main throne, after the queen mother changed into a traditional Mongolian dress, the kindness on her face seemed to have a bit of the bold atmosphere of a steppe woman, which looked very different from the past.

  I saw everyone sitting around the bonfire, and in front of them were all small tables of the same system, with cushions on the ground, but there were no chairs, and even Kangxi was sitting on the ground on the high platform.

  On the low table, a large piece of roast lamb is sprinkled with a thin layer of chili, the fat is accompanied by a spicy taste, with the aroma of roasting, making a sizzling sound, and from time to time there is a sound of oil flowers bursting, just a glance, people can't help but mouthful.

  Next to the roast mutton, there are large round pies, exuding a fresh wheat aroma, which is not as attractive as roast mutton, but it is perfect for eating with meat.

  In addition, the smell of mare's milk wine and milk tea also permeated the air, such an open-air sitting on the ground, the atmosphere of the food was rough, compared to the food in the palace, it can be said that there is another flavor, that is, Ji Yingxin, who is well-informed in modern times, can't help but light up when he sees this.

  "Today, I serve the Empress Dowager to patrol the outside of the Saiwai, everything, and come with the customs outside the Saiwai, today, everyone does not need to be restrained, take their own use, sing and dance, and eat."

  Kangxi said a few simple words, and then served the wine and meat in person and served the Queen Mother to enjoy.

  After Kangxi's words, everyone also stretched out their hands, and Ji Yingxin had long been attracted by the taste of roast mutton, picked up the knife on the side, and skillfully cut it, only to see that although the pieces of meat were as thin as cicada wings, they were also evenly thick, and they were divided with Ji Yingxin's movements.

  "Fu Jin still has such a ability?" Seeing this, Yinzhen was stunned when he cut a few pieces of mutton and prepared to put them on Ji Yingxin's dinner plate, looked at the neatly arranged meat slices like a work of art on Ji Yingxin's plate, and then looked at the irregular pieces of different sizes on his plate, and couldn't help blushing.

  "Daughter's family, can you still have some cooking skills, the concubine will come to help the master." Seeing this, Ji Yingxin said, in fact, it's not that she really has good cooking skills, it's just that a science student is not from the biology department, and she has to cut some things, those small slices, what she wants is the ability to hold a knife, even if Ji Yingxin doesn't practice for many years, there is naturally no problem in cutting meat.

  Ignoring Yinzhen's surprised gaze, after Ji Yingxin cut the meat for him, he picked up the hot barbecue, dipped it in some sauce and put it in his mouth.

  Suddenly, the rich oil burst in the mouth, carrying the unique aroma of barbecue, permeating between the lips and teeth. In particular, this kind of mutton specially served to the royal family does not have the fishy smell of ordinary mutton, but reveals a burst of grass fragrance, soft and good fruit charcoal roasted taste, with the prepared sauce, to maximize the sweet aroma of the mutton itself, the mixture of sauces, but also make this taste not monotonous.

  It is impossible to say that the taste of this barbecue is better than the many delicacies in the palace, after all, those who can enter the palace have more or less two brushes.

  The reason why this barbecue is so attractive, on the one hand, the workmanship is really good, and more is that its taste is in a rough condition, exuding a kind of the most primitive taste, just like watching a movie, maybe not the thought-provoking, thought-provoking, or endless aftertaste of the classic movie, etc., but it is like the moment when the special effects blockbuster explodes directly in front of the eyes, it is also outstanding.

  After eating a few bites of barbecue, Ji Yingxin felt a little tired, and poured a glass of mare's milk wine to himself, only to see that unlike the transparent liquor, mare's milk wine is a transparent milky white, smelling with a milky fragrance, without much spicy liquor, and gently drank it, the taste is round, smooth, sweet and sour, milky and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless.

  In particular, the milky aroma in the mare's milk wine neutralizes the greasy touch and spiciness, so that the original greasy feeling is eliminated instantly, and the two flavors are soft together, which makes Ji Ying's heart shine.
