"I brought you here when I saw that you were very concerned about food!" The fourth master said.

He is used to burying his thoughts deep in his heart on weekdays, and he has never talked about political affairs and the woman in the back house, even Fujin will not say it, and at this moment he was asked by Xijun repeatedly, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he didn't want Xijun to talk about the central matter, so he withdrew this reason.

As soon as Xi Jun saw the fourth master say this, the disappointment in her heart gradually disappeared. The fourth master is the fourth son of the emperor, and he is already shouldering the responsibility he was born with, he is not an ordinary person. The fourth master can say that, it doesn't really matter if it's true, but he can care about his mood.

When Xi Jun thought of this, she felt that she was a little hypocritical, so she said: "The concubine likes to ponder and eat, so that she can also prepare delicious meals for the master, and the master can be satisfied with the meal, and the court will do things smoothly." ”

The fourth master nodded, and then looked out the window in the lobby. It didn't matter if he looked at it, and he saw a few familiar faces.

The dishes were served, and Su Peisheng Qingqi and their side also sent another one, all of which were two portions of one dish.

Xi Jun saw that this dish was indeed exquisite, and it was really no worse than that in Baylor's Mansion, so he said: "It seems that the rich families in the capital are all coming here, which is not strange at all. ”

The fourth master looked at the first dish in front of him, and he didn't know what this dish was made of.

"Master, you're dumbfounded! It seems that the master is outdated, and he doesn't know that the random restaurant on the street is even better than the food in Baylor's mansion. Xi Jun said.

The fourth master picked up the chopsticks, took a chopstick, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Xi Jun also picked up the chopsticks, put a chopstick in his mouth, and tasted it.

"Tsk, sir, this dish is really delicious!" Xi Jun went to clip a chopstick again.

"It's delicious, but what did you make of this dish?" The fourth master asked.

"Glutinous, bullety, the concubine only thinks it's delicious, but I really can't eat what it's made of." Xi Jun said.

Immediately afterwards, all kinds of delicacies were brought up one by one, and a table was filled.

The color and taste of the dishes are very good, and when Xijun saw that there was food, she was naturally very happy, and tasted them one by one with the fourth master, and called the big shopkeeper over.

"Big shopkeeper, my master and I have eaten a circle here, but none of the dishes can taste their original taste. Tell us what each dish is made of. Xi Jun said to the big shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled, as if he had expected Xi Jun to ask these words, spread his hands, and said to her: "The little one will introduce these dishes to your guests one by one." ”

"Okay, then bother the shopkeeper to start with the first course." Xi Jun said.

"This first dish, called 'Senju Kannon', is made with the tongue of a duck and a broth made from abalone, stir-fried with sprouts, and it is very delicious." The big shopkeeper's eyebrows fluttered and danced.

The fourth master and Xi Jun glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, and said that there are always thirty or forty duck tongues in this plate!

"This second dish, called 'Flower and Full Moon', is made from whale shark fins and carved into the shape of flowers, which is both delicious and beautiful. Every time a guest comes to us, they order this dish. The treasurer continued.

Xijun naturally knew that shark fin was a delicacy, but she didn't expect that in the Qing Dynasty, shark fin would be used as a dish?

The shopkeeper naturally didn't see the look on Xi Jun's face, and was still talking about the preciousness of the dishes on this table. It wasn't until he had introduced all the dishes that the fourth master's face was so black that ink could drip out.

Xi Jun naturally knew why the fourth master was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't care about the shopkeeper's affairs at all, naturally this table of delicacies was too luxurious.

"Big shopkeeper, your table will cost a lot! There are quite a lot of guests, it's really ......" Xi Jun said to the big shopkeeper and stretched out a thumbs to praise.

"Aren't the distinguished guests coming, most of the guests who come to us for a banquet are rich businessmen, or they are officials, or even people inside." The big shopkeeper smugly arched in the direction of the Forbidden City.

"You have been tempted to come here to eat and drink, but you know that some of them eat and drink the money of the treasury, and eat and drink the fat and ointment of the people!" The fourth master suddenly said angrily.

The shopkeeper thought that after praising the dishes of his restaurant, he would attract praise from this distinguished guest, but when he saw his thunderous anger staring at his eyelashes, he was a little unsure where he had offended the fourth master.

Seeing this, Xi Jun hurriedly said: "Big shopkeeper, our master has drunk a little too much, you go down and count the silver." I'll come and get the money later. ”

Su Peisheng had already hurriedly come over and pulled the big shopkeeper out.

"Lord Belle, what's the use of you getting angry with a shopkeeper here? On the contrary, it startles the snake! Xi Jun said, "The concubine doesn't understand the major affairs of the court, but the concubine feels that the owner of this restaurant is not wrong!" The so-called buy is sold! That's because the customers have this demand, so they dare to sell. What's the use of the lord getting angry with this shopkeeper? ”

The fourth master was speechless by Xi Jun's words, but the temperament in his heart did not disappear by half a point, and his face became more and more cold.

"Lord Belle, if you feel that the concubine body is inappropriate, please ask Lord Belle to punish you!" Xijun stood up and said in front of the fourth master.

The fourth master looked at the woman in front of him, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and also stood up and said, "You're right, the master just lost his temper." When the master heard the shopkeeper's words, he seemed to see the insatiable faces of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

"Lord Belle, the concubine feels that corruption is human nature. There is not an old saying that when the water is clear, there are no fish. If you want to eliminate all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is actually unrealistic. Ye only needs to think about how to use people's greed to govern the country well. Xi Jun said.

"What you said is very interesting, using people's greed to govern the country!" The fourth master said.

"The concubine is also a casual remark, don't blame Lord Belle!" Xi Jun hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"No, I think your words make a lot of sense." The fourth master raised his hand and hooked Xi Jun's chin and said, "I heard that the eldest daughter of Niu Colu Mansion has been smart since she was a child, which shows a little." ”

"What else has Lord Belle heard?" Xi Jun curled the corners of her lips and said.

"I heard that the eldest lady of Niu Co Lu Mansion is gentle and demure, which is not very consistent." The fourth master quipped.

Xi Jun finally had a smile on the face of the fourth master, and just now the cold face was gone, so he smiled and said: "The master is actually very good-looking when he laughs, why do you always have an ice face?" ”
