Chapter 194: Open Again
After the gong sounded at the end of the fight, instead of the waiters, a ** dressed in a gorgeous and elegant woman holding a food box appeared on the stairs in the building, shuttling through the various boxes like butterflies.
The aroma of food permeates the building.
The high platform in the hall was also cleared, and a square table was set up, gamblers called friends, Xiao Er and the running hall shuttled, the mellow aroma of wine rose, and the Dusk Cloud Building returned to the appearance of an ordinary restaurant.
Because of the fighting in the morning and the martial arts in the afternoon, the entire twilight cloud meeting will last all day, so the noon time is the time for gamblers and nobles to eat and rest.
"It's finally time to eat," Situ Gaoyi in the Tianzi Pavilion stretched his waist and shouted, "Hungry, starved, Mu Kezhi, what good dishes did your family prepare today?" ”
Duyun Tower will prepare a table for the nobles in the box at the annual Dusk Cloud Club, and the table at noon is full of tricks and has a long aftertaste, some people call it "Dusk Cloud Seat", which is a major signboard of the Dusk Cloud Club.
"I can't help but look forward to it at this time of year," Hong Shan said with a smile on the side, "Last year's question about the political bamboo shoots is still fresh in people's memories, and the chef at home always can't make that taste, and I don't know how your family does it?" ”
"Cut the bamboo shoots into hob pieces, slice the mushroom sausages, add the big bones of the ham, add water to boil and then turn to low heat and simmer for a quarter of an hour," Mu Kezhi, who was sitting by the window, said lazily, "Take another clay pot, pour the stewed bamboo shoots into the pot, boil on the heat, add the sausage slices, stir-fry the mushroom slices a few times, wait for the soup to thicken, take out the ham bones, and then thicken them with cornstarch, and put them on the plate." ”
"I see," Hong Shan nodded yes, and turned to the subordinate beside him, "Write it down quickly, and go back and let the cook learn to do it." ”
"Even if you know how to do it, it's useless," Li Wenyao chuckled on the side, "The key to this dish is to use the top yellow mountain bamboo shoots on the tip of the spring seasonal mountain to be crisp and tender." But the freshest Huangshan bamboo shoots are rounded by his family every year, and they can't be bought outside. ”
"I see," Hong Shan pointed at Mu Kezhi and shook his head, "If you want to fight tooth sacrifices in the future, won't you only have to go up to Dusk Cloud Tower?" Your family is so cunning. ”
"Where," Mu Kezhi chuckled, "If Brother Hong likes to eat, as long as he sends someone to say something, Brother will immediately let someone make it and send it to the house." ”
"That's not it," Hong Shan hurriedly waved his hand, "Your food is not cheap, if I let Lao Tzu know, you have to break my legs." ”
"What kind of money are we talking about between brothers," Mu Kezhi raised his glass, "Naturally, it's free." ”
"Come on, I'll pay out of my own pocket," Hong Shan smiled bitterly, "In this Huizhou City, who dares to take advantage of your Mu family." ”
The people in the room burst into laughter.
At this time, there was a voice of a maid knocking on the door, "Second young master, the banquet is here." ”
"Come in," Mu Kezhi stood up and clapped his hands twice, "Serve." ”
Twenty or thirty maids rushed in, brought a square red lacquer food box into the pavilion, with ham stewed soft-shelled turtle, Huangshan stewed pigeon, steamed stone chicken, pickled fresh mandarin fish, mushroom box, Wenzheng mountain bamboo shoots, double explosion string flying, phoenix stewed peony and other Huizhou famous dishes are the main dishes, but also equipped with the soup cake of the north, Hu cannon meat, mutton stick bones, calf stick roast, but also the southern fish soup, Ulva soup, soup and other soups, more osmanthus cake, thin skin spring cocoon, raw stuffed steamed buns, smiling Jinger, shepherd's cabbage spring cake, gold and silver burnt peony cake, pear blossom cake and other northern and southern dim sum, as well as cow and sheep milk, Various colors of sour pulp buttermilk, sour plum orange peel soup and other northern and southern specialties of the pulp drink......
The large round table in the center of the pavilion was filled in an instant, and there were no less than thirty or forty kinds of them, all of which were filled with white porcelain dishes, silver foot plates, five-color glass bowls, and white bamboo cages, which are as clear as snow.
Zhu Mei on the side opened her eyes wide, and although Zhu Rong's expression was as usual, she could still read the surprise of the young man in her eyes.
Mu Kezhi walked to the round table idly and beckoned to everyone, "A little home-cooked side dish is not a tribute, come and try it." ”
Huizhou Mushi is really extravagant.
Zhu Luan glanced sideways at the reaction of her brother and sister, her eyes drooped slightly, the banquet in front of her naturally could not be compared with the palace banquet in her previous life, but this was far richer than what she had seen in the British Mansion these days.
The chiefs in the house were not reserved, and after some humility, Duan Haochu sat down, on the left hand side were Princess Jinyang and Duan Lizheng's brothers and sisters, on the right hand side were Mu Kezhi and Li Wenyao, and the other sons all sat down at will.
The maids pulled out the chairs for Zhu Luan, Zhu Rong and Zhu Mei sat down on her left, although then there was a man's smell of old books on her right, Zhu Luan looked sideways, and Yu Sinian sat down beside her.
Situ Gaoyi, who was holding chopsticks and wanted to feast, laughed when he saw it, Yu Sinian frowned and glared at him coldly, Situ Gaoyi's face was immediately solemn, and then he laughed dryly, and took a basket of fresh bamboo shoots with chopsticks and sent it to Yu Sinian's bowl, and said attentively, "Brother Yu, it's really hard to end up in the morning, you have to eat more today." ”
"Yes," Yu Sinian said idly, putting the bamboo shoots in his mouth, "I do have to eat more than someone who has been sitting here all morning." ”
"What can I do," Situ Gaoyi shouted, "It's not because the morning fight was mixed up by your first fight, the gamblers lost too much in the front, and no one bet in the next few games, how can I end up with that kind of small field of one or twenty taels of silver?" ”
Yu Sinian snorted and didn't speak.
"There shouldn't be such a problem in the afternoon field," Li Wenyao smiled, "The gamblers who bet on martial arts and Wendou are often different, and the nobles in the box also have their own preferences. ”
"Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity," Situ Gaoyi shook his head and patted Hong Shan and Nian Huazang on the shoulder, "It's up to you in the afternoon, the stakes must be higher than that of Yu Sinian." ”
"The martial arts of the Twilight Cloud Society is an elegant thing, how can it be judged by the high and low stakes?" Nian Huazang looked at him dissatisfied, "The important thing is to be able to learn skills under special restrictions, how did you become so ungraceful?" ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not as elegant as you, the eldest son," Situ Gaoyi raised his hand in surrender and picked up his chopsticks, "Don't waste such a delicacy, eat vegetables." ”
Everyone raised their chopsticks one after another, Zhu Luan also picked up the chopsticks, looked down but found that there were a lot of dates on his plate at some point, Zhu Luan frowned and turned his head, and Zhu Rong next to him was holding the chopsticks and smiling at her.
Yu Sinian on the side also noticed it, and asked softly, "It turns out that Miss Zhu Jiu likes to eat red dates?" ”
"It's not annoying, but it's ...... too" Zhu Luan smiled helplessly, and Princess Jinyang on the opposite side raised her head and looked at this side with interest.
At this time, there was a sound of a maid knocking on the door outside the pavilion.
"Miss Zhu Jiu, a noble person in the Dizi Pavilion has something for you."
Zhu Luan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, she didn't say anything to this person, what was this.
