Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away
Ju Wentai'an sat on the main seat and stood still like a mountain, Zhang Huan knelt on one knee and trembled, and the smile on Zhang Zheng's face was incomprehensible.
At the beginning of the banquet, it was at an impasse because of Zhang Zheng's words.
Zhang Zheng made amends, of course Zhang Huan didn't dare to bear it.
Not to mention the cause and effect of the incident, there is a huge identity gap between the two, which can only make Zhang Huan swallow this bitter fruit by himself.
"Hehe, Zhang Xiannan really likes to joke. Get up, why are you still kneeling, do you want Zhang Xiannan to ask you to get up in person, just a joke, scare you into this appearance, out of breath. ”
Ju Wentai laughed without smiling, and first used a joke on Zhang Zheng's words to vaguely pass over.
Only then did he give an order to Zhang Huan, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to breathe.
When Zhang Zheng heard Ju Wentai's words, do you want Zhang Xiannan to ask you to get up in person, his eyes narrowed slightly.
was actually defeated by his small general, this Ju Wentai is really not a simple character.
If ordinary people hear this, they may not be able to pull their faces to do this kind of thing under the consideration of their identity.
But what kind of person is Zhang Zheng, a three-good young man who grew up under the red flag in the 21st century, and his face is like a floating cloud to Zhang Zheng.
Ju Wentai thought that a small agitation method could restrain Zhang Zheng. I have to say that he looked away this time.
The smile on Zhang Zheng's face remained unchanged, put down the wine glass and went straight around the table, came to Ju Wentai's side, and grabbed Zhang Huan's shoulder.
"Oh, why should the general be like this, please get up, get up."
Zhang Huan was helped by Zhang Zheng like this, but he didn't get up, and he couldn't afford it.
The main reason is that the gap between the identities of the two is too big, and Zhang Zheng is apologizing and stooping to help each other today, which makes Zhang Huan's heart very frightened.
I had to hand Ju Wentai a look of help.
Seeing the guard's eyes asking for help, Ju Wentai's face changed, and he secretly glared at Zhang Huan and said.
"If you don't get up yet, do you want this king to help you personally?"
When Zhang Huan heard this, he let go of the hands on Zhang Huan's shoulders.
Zhang Huancheng stood up in fear and retreated behind Ju Wentai.
Zhang Zheng returned to his seat and chuckled at Ju Wentai: "Hehe, General Zhang Huan is loyal, but this courage still needs to be tempered." ”
When Ju Wentai heard this, his face changed again.
Zhang Zheng fought back slightly, not intending to provoke Ju Wentai.
After all, inviting him here today is considered to be Zhang Zheng's request for something, and the situation is too stiff, which is not beneficial to both parties.
"Come on, come on, please try these Tang Dynasty dishes, and see if the clumsy work can still enter the mouth of the lord."
Zhang Zheng began to cook for Ju Wentai.
Datang is now a separate meal system, so the way two people eat together around a table is novel.
I heard Zhang Zheng say that these dishes were made by him, and his attention was really attracted.
Stretch out your chopsticks, pick up a piece of chopsticks, put it in your mouth and chew it.
After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed:
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks and taste the dishes on the table.
"Hehe, if the lord likes it, please drink."
Zhang Zheng introduced the dishes on the table for Ju Wentai, and filled the wine glass in front of Ju Wentai.
It wasn't until Ju Wentai had tasted all the dishes that he spoke.
"Zhang Xiannan, please."
The two drank it all at the same time.
It wasn't until this that the meal tasted a hint of the joy of the guests and hosts.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Zhengbu's speed slowed down, and Ju Wentai's eating speed also began to slow down.
"I want to ask the old saying in the Central Plains that a gentleman is far away from cooking, why does Zhang Xiannan have such a subtle cooking skill?"
Ju Wentai, who was full of wine and food, wiped his mouth with the silk cloth handed by the maid, and finally couldn't help but ask with curiosity in his heart.
Because this kind of thing is really incredible, not to mention in Datang, even in Gaochang, most of the people who can be called powerful are indistinguishable people.
Not to mention the second generation of elites, who can have such a magical craft.
Zhang Zheng waved his hand, and the servants in his own courtyard removed the leftovers and replaced them with a low desk in front of the two.
"Hehehe, the lord of the country is a misinterpretation of the words of the sages, the meaning of the words of the old man Yasheng is that we and other so-called gentlemen should always have a benevolent and unbearable heart. It's not that gentlemen like us can't cook.
The sages also said that the name is based on food, which shows that eating a full stomach is also the first priority of people's livelihood in the eyes of the sages. ”
Zhang Zheng explained with a smile.
Ju Wentai returned a polite smile and said:
"Hehehe, it's that I'm shallow, what Zhang Xiannan said is reasonable."
"Tsk, Wen Crepe, more Tang Dynasty than me."
Zhang Zheng complained in his heart, but did not speak.
Instead, he waved his hand lightly at the green dress standing beside him.
The green dress exited the gazebo, and after a while returned to the pergola with a plate of strange things.
Midori placed the contents of the tray on the low table in front of the two of them at a time.
Outside the pavilion, there was a sound of "ding ding dong" guqin, like a clear spring flowing, and like water droplets rolling down.
In the pavilion, the green clothes began to perform the tea ceremony, lit a pine pagoda, put it in the red clay oven, put the tea pot filled with water on the stove, and then took out a small piece of tea ball and baked it by the stove, and began to moxibustion tea.
A moment later, a faint aroma of tea lingered in the pavilion.
When the tea dough is crispy, it is taken off and placed in a grinding room with a small mill to begin to grind into a powder.
The pine tower burned out, and Lu Sheng used two bamboo slices to add a few pieces of charcoal and put them into the furnace.
When the green clothes completely ground the tea balls into powder, it happened that the water in the ding also began to steam.
Use a small thin sieve to sift the tea powder into the tea pot.
Then add mutton fat, salt, green onions, and garlic slices.
Stir gently with a small wooden spoon.
Since Lu Sheng started cooking tea, Ju Wentai and Zhang Zheng did not speak again.
The two listened to the melodious sound of the piano and quietly admired the tea art of the green clothes.
After a while, the tea in Dingzhong boiled, and the water "boiled like a fish's eyes, with a slight sound"; two boiling, "the edge of the edge is like a spring bead"; Three boiling, "Tengbo drum waves".
After three boils, Lu Sheng took out the porcelain cup and put it on for Ju Wentai and Zhang Zheng, who were sitting opposite the desk.
The tea was slightly cool, Ju Wentai picked up the teacup, sniffed it lightly on the tip of his nose, and then took a sip gently.
Exclaimed: "Good tea." ”
Zhang Zheng also learned from Ju Wentai, and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff.
It's just that when I drank tea, my lips lightly touched the wall of the lamp, and I didn't drink it into my mouth.
Datang is like soup and "tea" like swill, Zhang Zheng has always been insensitive to Xie Jing.
"Good tea."
Of course, you still have to do it, Zhang Zheng praised it against his will.
Hearing the admiration of the two, Green Dress bowed slightly to the two, then leaned over to pack up the tea set and exited the pavilion.
Outside the pavilion just right, the song is over.
