Three days came in a blink of an eye, and four tables were set up for the banquet, which were placed in the Yancai Pavilion outside the small garden where the Qiuyang Pavilion was located.

The layout of Yancaixuan is not as elaborate as Qiuyang Pavilion, but it is open and bright. Yan Cai Xuan is open and bright, and it is not too solemn and solemn, and it is suitable as a gathering place for close friends.

Trees such as red maple, coxagulus, ginkgo, black tree and other trees outside the Xuan are the time when the frost dyes the color, and there are reed flowers fluttering white flocculent from time to time, which can be said to collect the bright and beautiful autumn light of the mountains and fields in a garden.

The people who feasted with him included the teacher of the king of Shenjun, the former champion Shen Tingyang and his wife and daughter Shen Zhujun; There is the master Cen Zaidao who introduced the king of Shenjun to the Tao and two personal disciples; There is a family of Mai Hubu; There are Qiao Shilang's sister Qiao Chu Shi Yuanjun and two disciples; Others are all celebrities in the literary world and famous heroes.

The main dish in the banquet is roasted whole sheep, which is sliced and delivered to each table by the hands of the Mai family.

Cen Zaidao praised after tasting it, "The skin is golden, the meat is crisp and tender, and there is no mutton smell." Although Poor Dao has not quit meat, he does not like the oily taste of meat, and this dish is really suitable for the taste of Poor Dao. ”

Mai Jibu smiled and raised his glass to him, "If Cen Zhenren drinks a sip of rose-scented wine, he will feel even more aftertaste." ”

Cen Zaidao drank with a smile, and Mai Hubu said, "This roasted whole sheep is so delicious, one is because the lamb meat in the Western Regions is tender and less flavorful, and the other is because of Miss Hu's skillful roasting. “

He looked at Hu Xianxian and said, "She didn't smoke the sheep directly over a charcoal fire, but marinated the sheep with condiments and roasted it on a baking plate made of stone grinding." When roasting, keep turning and brush honey every half an hour. The slate can isolate the smell of charcoal smoke, but in this way, the heat transfer is also slow. In order for us to eat this delicious dish in time, she has been baking it since last night. ”

Cen Zaidao nodded frequently when he heard this, and said to Hu Xianxian: "The matter of cooking can be done so hard, Miss Hu is really not comparable to ordinary cooks." May I ask Miss Hu for the name of this dish? ”

Hu Xianxian replied, "These dishes are not named, they are all cooking methods that I have come up with randomly, and it is difficult to feast." ”

Cen Zaidao stroked his sparse beard, "Miss Hu doesn't have to be too modest. Poor Dao named this dish 'Golden Lamb Crisp', what do you think? ”

Everyone applauded, and the middle-aged Kundao Qiao Chushi said, "I have been out of meat for many years, and I thought that I could only sit on the banquet to meet the scene, but I didn't expect that there would be delicious vegetarian food." May I ask Miss Hu, what is this lilac pastry made of? ”

Hu Xianxian replied with a smile, "That's made of yam and millet." As I said, I cook all the local dishes that don't serve the table. ”

Qiao Chushi was puzzled, "I didn't taste these two flavors at all." ”

The old princess picked up a piece and tasted it, "There is no astringency at all, it does not stick to the teeth, and the taste is loose and soft, which is really not like yam and millet." ”

Hu Xianxian said: "It is to grind the yam into a pulp, filter out the slag, and then only take the pulp juice and then make a cake with millet flour." When steaming, you should also smear some chestnut powder so that it will not stick to your teeth. ”

Qiao Chushi chuckled, "Miss Hu is really ingenious, Poor Dao never knew that yams could be ground to make cakes." I only know that it is a yam stew to eat, and if you don't pay attention to it, the skin will be thick and astringent. Poor Dao named this dish "Purple Cloud Cake", can it? ”

Hu Xianxian thought to himself, grinding yam to make cakes is a way for hungry people to come up with in the famine years, how can Qiao Chushi, who was born in a eunuch family, know? However, the hungry people are made of wheat bran mixed with dregs, and the cakes made are astringent and unpalatable, how can they be so delicate and delicious.

Hu Xianxian thought about this in his heart, and could only agree with a smile on his face, "Yuanjun's name is really good, so that these vulgar snacks have taken advantage of the immortal energy." ”

At the beginning of the name of the dish, it was all fun.

A soup of fish and sheep stewed together was named "Double Fresh Soup" by Shen Tingyang. He said that the soup was delicious and delicious, and the fish and sheep just combined the word "Xian".

The dumplings made from cheese and pigeon eggs, as well as almonds, were called "jade spot cheese" by Manesha. This dessert is softer than the usual cheese, and the almonds sandwiched in it are crispy and richly textured.

King Shenjun named the fried beef tenderloin "pan-fried beef tenderloin" because he thought that the fried beef slices resembled slices of willow leaves. Hu Xianxian doesn't think it's like it, how can there be dark red willow leaves? It's just that she dared to refute the prince, she just nodded and praised the name for being good.

Shen Zhujun loves to eat cream-baked mushrooms and names them "cloud mushrooms". She said that the mushroom tasted fresh and tender, and she closed her eyes and chewed it slowly, as if it was about to float up to the clouds.

The old princess praised a dish of chicken wrapped in grapefruit shells. In this dish, the unopened chicken is wrapped in fresh yuzu peel, then coated with a salty mud on the outer layer, and roasted with fruit branches.

The old princess said that this dish has the fragrance of grapefruit, and the sweet fragrance of fruit tree branches. After thinking about it for a long time, the old princess named this dish "Qingyu Tuanfeng".

Mataha called a jade-white dish "Mingyu Pian", and told everyone that this dish is made of flour and repeated kneading and washing of gluten.

Everyone was surprised when they learned that the dish was glutinous and sweet, without the dryness and hardness of flour products. Everyone thought it was made of glutinous rice, but it didn't have a sticky and soft feeling of glutinous rice. After listening to Metaha's explanation, everyone praised Hu Xianxian again.

Mataha also told everyone that this "Ming Jade Piece" can also be turned into a "Guanghan Jade Rabbit Roll". Hu Xianxian is afraid that young people will find this dish too light, and it is also served with rabbit slices, which can be rolled into gluten slices and eaten together. Everyone was involved in rabbit meat and then eaten, and it was really a different flavor.

In the evening, most of the guests dispersed, and King Shenjun only left Shen Tingyang, Cen Zaidao, and Qiao Chushi to discuss matters in Qiuyang Pavilion.

Hu Xian Xianling was frightened and tired repeatedly, and she was already tired, but she and the Mai family, who came to help, were left outside the pavilion to wait for use.

Hu Xianxian took a nap while standing, and suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder, it was Ah Lu.

She said, "Miss Hu, the prince invites you to come in, and I have something to order." ”

Hu Xianxian bit his lip and forced himself into the pavilion.

"The people's daughter is here, I don't know what the prince commands?"

King Shenjun didn't answer, and his eyes glanced at Shen Tingyang.

Shen Tingyang said: "Miss Hu, you deceived Steward Zhou into taking the opportunity of offering spirit grass to see the prince, who is this ploy for you?" ”

Hu Xianxian saw that they were about to ask about business, and his mind suddenly sobered up, "No one is planning for me." I was also forced to make this decision, I didn't have the heart to deceive the prince, I just thought that the prince was a virtuous king who was praised by others, and he would be able to save me from suffering. ”

Shen Tingyang nodded and looked at Cen Zaidao.

Cen Zaidao said, "This matter cannot be brought forward by the prince, we have already made a plan, but you still need to enter the bandits' den again, do you dare to take risks again?" ”

Hu Xianxian said solemnly: "It's all up to the prince and the immortals. I am in a desperate situation, and it is a blessing to have a glimmer of life, so why are I afraid of any difficulties and obstacles? ”

Cen Zaidao bowed his head and looked at Qiao Chushi again.

Qiao Chushi said: "This is very good, three days later, when the prince gives an order, we can enter the bandit village." ”

Hu Xianxian knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the rescue." ”

King Shenjun said slowly: "Don't be busy thanking you, this king still needs to carefully work out the details." Mr. Shen, Master Cen, and Qiao Yuanjun, please go and rest first, and then discuss this matter in three days. ”
