460 A gentleman eats tofu

The food in the embassy is still very good, the most important thing is that the food in the embassy does not need silver, and whatever you eat is consumed by Dayan Kingdom, of course, if the envoys of Dayan Kingdom arrive in Jiangmeng, Jiangmengguo will naturally not be able to accept this silver.

Wen Xiangrong also thought about it, since the Great Yan Kingdom could leave their envoys on the ship for more than half a month and ignore them, almost breaking them off, if the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom arrived in the waters of the Jiangmeng Kingdom, would they also be able to use their own ways to repay them? Or also make such a Zhuangzi to make money from the people of Dayan country?

It's just that after thinking about it, Jiang Mengguo, in addition to the fact that Fushou paste can make the people of Dayan addicted, really doesn't have anything too handy, and people can't forget to return to the food, not to mention the wine that Uncle Guo let the envoys smell that day, although the uncle who has always been generous is also rarely stingy, only let him smell the smell, and he didn't even give a drop to everyone to drink, but just smelling the wine, he also knew that this wine was extraordinary, it must have cost Uncle Guo a lot of money to buy it, and they didn't want to ask Uncle Guo to cut his love.

However, then again, although they spent silver in Dayan Kingdom, they also enjoyed the food, which was not too much of a loss, and besides, the silver was also spent by the treasury, and they enjoyed it, and they did not break their money bags, so they would not feel as distressed as spending their own money.

Moreover, if the people of Dayan come to Jiangmeng, they want to use the same method to make money, then they must also have that ability, and the food of their Jiangmeng country will definitely be disliked by the people of Dayan country.

Not to mention the delicious and breathtaking delicacies in Zhuangzi, even these unexpensive delicacies in the embassy are much more delicious than the best delicacies in Jiangmengguo, and the same thing, Jiangmengguo's chefs can't make that taste, I'm afraid that people Dayanzhen sent envoys to Jiangmeng, and they have to bring their own cooks.

If you go back to China this time and kidnap a few cooks from the Dayan Kingdom, not to mention that you can get the emperor's favor by dedicating it to the emperor, even if you open a restaurant yourself, it will also cause a sensation in the entire Jiangmeng Kingdom.

There is just one thing, although the food in the embassy is also delicious, it is a little more homely compared to the food in Zhuangzi, which is even carved and jade-shaped, and even when I heard the chatter in the embassy, I said that I eat this at home at night...... Even Wen Xiangrong, who has never paid much attention to pleasure, feels that Jiangmeng people are too bitter.

After eating delicious food in Zhuangzi, they were a little interested in this rustic food, and after eating it for two days, not to mention Uncle Guo and others, even Wen Xiangrong felt that it lacked taste.

If you can let Dayan's chef go to Jiangmeng to open a restaurant...... Of course, this is just to think about it, there is really a day when Dayan Kingdom will not give up the opportunity to plant spies in the cook.

Fortunately, the food in the embassy does not cost money, and no matter how much they eat, they don't have to worry about bringing enough money.

While the envoys missed the food in Zhuangzi very much, the Ningyuan Palace, which was very lively, He Louyuan did not expect that the official who could be sent to Beijing as an envoy this time would be Qu Hongan.

I haven't seen this cousin for a year, and I have become more calm, and I have also experienced an official spirit. The welcoming team was arranged in the post house, Qu Hongan went to the Ningyuan palace under the pretext of going to the Ningyuan palace to send the gift brought by Mrs. Qu from the capital to the king of Ningyuan, and then lived directly in the Ningyuan palace.

Every day, the old lady makes people cook food for Qu Hongan in different ways, but Qu Hongan, who has eaten for two days, feels that his face is going to become round.

Fortunately, everyone still remembered that the envoys who lived in the temporary embassy began to receive the envoys after two days of affectionate gatherings.

Now that there are envoys here, King Ning Yuan will meet with the envoys again, and he will not have to be afraid of being indiscriminately charged, although such an unfounded crime is not painful or itchy for He Louyuan, but it is also like a fly.

The envoys finally saw the world-famous King Ning Yuan this time, and when they saw it, they knew that this was the person who made the decision to slaughter them for hundreds of thousands of taels, although they were angry in their hearts, they had to pretend to be a smile on their faces.

He Louyuan looked indifferent, anyway, the cold and ruthless image of King Ning Yuan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he really smiled, people must not suspect that the prince is a fake?

Fortunately, the prince is too lazy to take care of people, and Qu Hongan, a peacemaker, is here, starting from the attention of Emperor Dayan to the envoy of Jiangmeng this time, and has been saying that the emperor is waiting for the envoys to meet in the capital, and also said that the friendship between the two countries has been around for generations, as well as some suspicious businessmen in Jiangmeng before, who have made those things that affect the friendship between the two countries, and even pirates pretending to be Jiangmeng people, these Dayan Emperors all know in their hearts, and they will definitely not blame the Emperor Jiangmengguo, but they also hope that the Emperor Jiangmengguo can issue an order to help Dayan arrest the culprit, lest such a black sheep affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The envoys of Jiang Mengguo all looked strange, and Wen Xiangrong was embarrassed.

Although the greeting officer of the people said something like that, as if Jiang Mengguo was really kept in the dark and wronged, everyone is a smart person, where can they not understand that people are beating them, and it can be regarded as saving face for them.

The conversation took place in a friendly atmosphere, and it was not until the first lights were picked up outside that King Ning Yuan tapped his palm three times, and the maids successively brought all kinds of dishes that were extremely exquisite, both in terms of carving and dish.

As soon as the fragrant delicacy was served, the envoys who had been hungry for a long time for this dinner swallowed their saliva, if it weren't for the image of Jiang Mengguo, they really wanted to rush to grab it like they did in Zhuangzi.

Sure enough, it was worth it for this hunger for a long time, and the food was delicious just by looking at it.

When King Ning Yuan raised his glass and drank it and said the long-awaited word 'eat', the envoys raised their chopsticks and put them down on the nearest dish in front of them.

I have to say that Dayan Guo does have extraordinary insights and creations in one of the dishes, that is, the table on which this dish can be turned has already made the envoys of Jiang Mengguo very amazed, in fact, it is not too difficult, but it is to put a smaller table on the big table, and put a disc below, but in this way, every dish on the table can be eaten, and there is no need to be afraid of pouting and pouting the dish.

But why did the table turn around, but the dishes they ate were all made of tofu?

Whether it is fried tofu or stewed tofu, or even boiled tofu, it is not fish, but replaced with tofu, although each dish of tofu is delicious, and there are more or less green vegetables in it, it cannot change the essence of a tofu feast.

No matter how delicious the tofu is, I'm afraid there is not much silver on this table, and King Ning Yuan is also a little stingy.

Seeing the strange faces of the envoys, He Lou took the wine glass and toasted another glass of wine, and then said slowly: "Today is the fifteenth day of July, it is the Midyear Festival, Dayan Kingdom has always had the custom of eating vegetarian on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and it is to entertain the envoys with a tofu banquet today, and I hope that the envoys will eat to their heart's content." ”

Before, he was just anxious to see King Ningyuan, and then went to Beijing to see Emperor Dayan, when he learned that King Ningyuan was going to feast them tonight, none of the envoys thought about what day it was, but when he heard He Louyuan say this, and then summed it up, is it the Zhongyuan Festival? Look at the choice of this day, it really makes people chill in the back.

Since King Ningyuan said that the people of Dayan have always had the custom of eating vegetarian food on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and whether it is true or not, it is not easy for them to say that they just want to eat meat, it is too embarrassing.

Moreover, this tofu is really delicious, even more delicious than the meat they made in Jiang Mengguo, so it should be regarded as a change of taste.

But most people have no opinion, and some are angry, just like the uncle who suddenly stood up by slapping the table at this time, "King Ningyuan, we are also the envoys of Jiangmeng Kingdom, don't you think you are treating us slowly with a tofu banquet like this?" Or is this the hospitality of Dayan Kingdom? If one day the envoys of the Dayan Kingdom come to my Jiangmeng, and Jiangmeng also feasts on tofu, how should the envoys of the Dayan Kingdom feel? ”

He Louyuan raised his head lightly, and glanced at the uncle who had been described by Qingsheng, especially the stupid and rich uncle, and rarely hooked the corners of his lips to outsiders, "This is the negligence of this king, I just think that my Dayan has always called the tofu banquet a gentleman's banquet, and this banquet is the best for guests, but I forgot that the envoys are from Jiangmeng, or this king will let people reorganize a table of fish and meat." ”

As he spoke, He Louyuan called someone over and ordered him to go down and make another table of chicken, duck and fish.

Although the order went down, the envoys of Jiang Mengguo also objected meaningfully, but He Louyuan insisted that he must re-establish another table according to the habits of Jiang Meng.

Seeing that there are about to have meat dishes to eat, but looking at the eyes of the uncle are a little helpless, although the prince of the people asked him to go down to prepare a new table, but as he said before, tofu is a gentleman's banquet, but they refuse to eat it, does this mean that they are not gentlemen?

Even Uncle Guo was also said to be speechless, can it be said that he is also quite a gentleman, but he doesn't like to eat gentlemen's banquets? Look at the indifferent face of the prince, greeting the envoy but smiling, they said that they can't change the fact that they are not enough gentlemen.

After all, the princes of the people have said that the customs of the first and fifteenth days of the new year are vegetarians, but they have to eat meat, is this what a gentleman does?

After changing the table of banquets, the envoys felt bored eating no matter how delicious things were, not to mention that the dishes with fish and meat on this table tasted very good, but seeing that the prince and the envoys were only eating the tofu in front of them, they felt strange in their hearts.

After eating, he was sent back to the embassy by the envoy again, and was reminded by Qu Hongan that he would leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow, so that the envoys could be regarded as forgetting the events of the previous dinner a little.

Sending back the envoy, Qu Hongan rode back to Ningyuan Wangfu again, although the cousins hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, and they had to separate in a hurry, so they naturally had to drink a few cups tonight, especially the old lady's newly brewed wine, in addition to drinking, but also to bring back a jar in the capital, there are good things The old lady will certainly not forget her own sister.
