The dinner was arranged in the main hall, facing the small pond on that side. It is said that it is a dinner party, but it is only about the same as the meal of the common people, this is just the unitary time, for the farmer who has worked in the field for a day, this is the most suitable to go home to eat, but after a simple meal, the streets and alleys get together, the blind chat of the north and the sea, not only can enhance the feelings between neighbors, but also drive away the fatigue of the day.

For an official eunuch of the same level like Qi Moyan or those rich people, the dinner party that should be called a supper basically starts after it gets dark, and all kinds of warblers and swallows are called dinners.

It is true that Qi Moyan does not have this habit, no matter whether his wishful thinking is here or not, for him, the kind of occasion that is just drinking and praising each other or clapping horses and greeting each other really can't fit in.

Just from the table, chopsticks and meals, you can see Qi Moyan's good intentions, that pair of ivory chopsticks, white porcelain tea bowls, and white jade spoons that are rare even in the homes of some princes and nobles, are nothing to take out alone, the key is obviously a set, and it is not something that ordinary rich and noble families can have.

Meals naturally have to wait for the arrival of guests to serve, which is also very particular, after all, the temperature also determines the first impression of the dish to the diners, plus the control of time, will also affect the taste of the dish.

This is not because Qi Moyan is exquisite, this is because Qi Moyan knows that Ye Yao is so particular about him.

The pre-dinner sweets are not common apricot blossom cakes, which are particular about a seasonal snack, picking seasonal fresh apricot blossoms supplemented by rice flour steaming, that is, rice noodles should also be pounded with special utensils until viscous, so that the most soft and glutinous ones are made.

And the apricot blossoms bloom at the end of February, at this time to find either to the south of the mild place, or is the bud that has not yet opened, different from the osmanthus in autumn, in the early spring to eat this is a luxury, although this apricot cake is not as rare as the osmanthus cake, but it is also the ordinary people think of the delicacy that they dare not think, plus the taste and texture are also the same, I am afraid that the gluttony can not taste the inner difference.

Next to a bowl printed with a magpie nesting willow branch shake celadon bowl, inside is white jade hibiscus soup, with the most tender chicken breast meat and mountain spring water grinding tender tofu, with a wooden stick to beat into a minced shape, and then stir to strengthen; Take the egg white without the egg yolk, fully whip until foaming, put the two into the pot of boiling water one left and one right, season with salt only, the soup is clear and visible at the bottom, the egg white is like hibiscus, the chicken breast is like white jade, the two are combined, and the deliciousness is incomparable.

One meat and one vegetable, one sweet and one salty, one soup and one side, complement each other. Just the pre-dinner side dishes are so exquisite, which is enough to see Qi Moyan's intentions.

As the host, Qi Moyan arranged to sit down one by one, followed by another chatter, and he was uncomfortable hanging the night three and the two big monks aside.

The amount of osmanthus cake and white jade hibiscus soup is only a bowl of mouthful, even if the night is so chewed and swallowed slowly, it is just half a roll of light red lips and fragrant tongue, and the osmanthus cake that melts in the mouth is borrowed, and the soup soup containing hibiscus in the white jade egg white in the meat is rushed, and a plate and a bowl will see the bottom.

Two well-trained maids on weekdays remove the dishes in front of them and change the dishes in front of them, followed by the other to put the dishes on the bamboo tray.

When the bamboo tray is close to the third watch at night, the faint smell of bamboo, coupled with a slight mild smell, shows that the tray is also heated before serving, which not only ensures the temperature of the dishes during transportation, but also stimulates the taste buds of diners with the fragrance of bamboo when approaching the guests.

The amount of dishes in front of Ye Yao is less than one-tenth of that of the two great monks, and the small dishes or covered bowls are all about to be fine, and the two big monks basically use pots, so that Ye San on the side has to re-examine this wishful thinking and self-imposed chess master.

I have to say that playing chess is the most test of a person's temperament, exercise a person's patience, as the saying goes, chess is like a person, Qi Moyan is so careful, you can also see his attainments in chess.

First is the eight-treasure gourd chicken, followed by a unicorn mandarin fish, and then the exquisite pomegranate bun, plus a piece of glass meat that seems to be transparent, and four small dishes are placed in front of them one by one.

Taking care of Ye Yao's blindness, Qi Mo Yan introduced the names and preparation methods of the dishes one by one, and some Qi Mo Yan with allusions also explained it properly, so that Ye San was very verbose, and did not rule out the suspicion of the class getting an axe.

The night is just chewing slowly, and she doesn't speak, and occasionally it's just

An "um" is used to tell the other person that they are listening. After eating the four appetizers, there is a small stir-fry of meat and vegetables.

One is the seasonal vegetable spring bamboo shoots, pickled in advance, slightly hot before serving, heated with special cooking oil and poured on its surface, the temperature is properly controlled, the time is appropriate, there is still a slight sound when it is served to the diner, and the aroma of hot oil is a bite, crisp and delicious.

There is also a dish that is supposed to be a meat dish, but a person like Ye Sangan, who chews peonies, still hasn't tasted what it is after eating a whole bowl.

The grains are as distinct as a bird's tongue, which reminds Ye San of a county official in the previous dynasty, who prides himself on caring for the people's livelihood and caring for the people's suffering, and there is a poem with the last two sentences

"Who knows that Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard" The world-famous five-character poem "Compassion for Nong" has been handed down, and it is a poem that must be memorized by Mongolian children.

It's just absolutely unexpected that this person is honest and honest on the surface, but in private he is a vegetarian meal to the point of outrageous, and the method of looting the people's fat and ointment is only the most basic means of corruption, it is said that he has to eat a plate of chicken tongue for each meal, it is indeed unbelievable to smell, it is rumored that at that time, in the backyard of his house for a month, only the chicken carcasses with tongues piled up into a mountain, which can be seen from afar.

looked at the side of the night in the bowl of only one bite to eat

"Sparrow's tongue", Ye Sangen even began to guess that Qi Moyan would not be so extravagant, even if it was such a top two condition as the Ye family, Ye Sangen was the first time to eat such a delicacy.

Different from Ye Sangen and Ye Yao, the big monk on the side is quite careful, knowing that these two people are not particular about eating, large plates and large bowls of meat, and the two of them are even bald and shiny, and they are very happy to eat.

Let Ye San, who originally planned to get some more from the mouths of these two monks, give up this idea that is tantamount to killing them.

Unceremoniously snatched the night away, this time the night three watch is no longer Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit like swallowing dates, becoming chewing slowly, but it is still tasteless, but the entrance is slightly chewy, which is really difficult to tell what the ingredients are.

was seized of the small bowl in his hand, Ye Yaoer for his younger brother who is not particular about eating, he also guessed that he was not far from ten, put down the jade chopsticks in his hand and said: "This should be fried intestines with melon seeds, in terms of taste, if you guess correctly, it should be the fried chicken tongue that imitates the former Asahi three hundred chickens, the melon seeds are soaked in advance and then cooked, removing the bitterness and astringency, making it soft as meat, the intestines are cooked in advance, cut into fine and fine grains, just tumbling in the hot oil to step up the frying, out of the pot and put on the plate, it is the most popular kung fu dish with heat and time, If the time is fast, it is not cooked, and the food is tasteless, and if it is slow, it will be difficult to swallow. Who came up with this dish? Qi Moyan said proudly: "It must be me." "Ye Yao's interest is lacking, he has nothing to do all day long, relying on the family's wealth and a lot of money every month, I'm afraid that in addition to playing chess, it is enjoyment.

Ye San showed great interest and said, "This dish is okay, you can recommend it to the saint to try." "There is also a maid who has replaced with a pot of Bazhen soup, which is completely prepared for the night, and has the effect of nourishing qi, nourishing blood and nourishing the skin.

Qi Moyan was very considerate and served a bowl for the night. The rest didn't wait for others to react, and the other two great monks moved in to them very unceremoniously.

Qi Mo Yan said: "We are all vassals of the Lower Riba people, I don't believe that the saint will eat such pickled filth as pig intestines." ”

"Not necessarily." Ye Sangen shook his head and said,

"The first emperor Wu Jiandi loved to eat chicken butts, who would believe this kind of thing? Every time a chicken dish is made in the palace, the chicken butt must be set aside separately. The Empress Dowager loved a dish of Jiang Mi stuffed chicken that year, and there was a time when Jiang Mi was served, there was always a piece of Jiang Mi, because when it came back out of the pot, Emperor Wu Jian cut the chicken butt and then sent it to the Empress Dowager. Regarding this kind of secret in the court, Qi Moyan naturally heard about it for the first time, so he heard it all night: "You don't want to spread this kind of thing to others everywhere, when you were a big child, didn't you just eat chicken butts in the inner city, and he was beaten for a long time, and he didn't have a long memory." Qi Moyan was interested, and was about to speak, when a porter trotted in and whispered a few words, which made Qi Moyan frown and commanded

After "don't care", he arranged for the maid to serve the food, obviously forgetting that the emperor ate chicken butts. This kind of serving in place is the most labor-intensive, such as eight treasure gourd chicken, two slices per person, and the most tender breast skin is selected to wrap the eight treasures, which is really more troublesome than making the whole one.

Such as unicorn mandarin fish, three slices of fish sandwich two slices of smoked ham, so that the taste of ham infiltrates into the fish meat during the steaming process, and then clip two pieces of rape leaves blanched in chicken soup to match the color, this process is the most cumbersome, one careless will make the fish tattered, and have to be redone.

It takes a lot of ingredients to make these dishes, otherwise the hodgepodge of two great monks with a pot and a bowl and a plate of assorted platters are also colorful.

Not only is it troublesome for the cook, but also for the diners, and the key is that they are not full for more than an hour after eating a meal.

Ye San really wanted to go to the big monk to eat, but he doubted whether those things were for people to eat. The two great monks are good at serving, drinking and eating meat, but it is much happier than the way the hens here feed the chicks.

At this time, the dish on the road was the wonton mentioned by Qi Moyan on the road just now, and next to it was a small bowl of soup. The wontons are big, put them in the spoon and sway, the skin is thin and you can see the meat filling, listening to Qi Moyan's introduction, it is naturally the most suitable three-to-seven five flowers in pork, and there are lotus root cloves in it to increase the taste.

Do not turn the soup is the delicacy of Luoyang, the eastern capital, add some green vegetable leaves to the batter batter made by boiling water, add a few slices of mutton, and then spread a thin mung bean flour cake, sprinkle with a large handful of shallots cut onions, and then use a spoonful of pepper to remove the smell and increase the fragrance, while it is hot to suck along the edge of the bowl in a circle, the most important thing is to make the most unparticular sound, is the most satisfying way to eat.

Obviously, on the side of the wonton and the soup, smelling the spicy smell of the hot air rushing away the pepper, as a gourmet, if you don't have an index finger, it's really a little too much.

Ye Yao groped for the porcelain bowl painted with koi play lotus, as soon as it came into contact, there was a sound that was impossible to make in front of the elders, and there was a non-stop snort, and it was also a pleasure to see its expression.

"Look at the city lord, at least it's stronger than your brother's." Only one pond in the courtyard resounded with a woman's yin and yang weirdness, and the woman who appeared in the courtyard very suddenly could see that the expensive short sable was draped over her shoulders, and the upper body was only a bandeau top, and a large area of white flowers was in the public, which could indeed attract the attention of more people, including men and women.

After all, who would want to refuse something so beautiful, especially a woman who is extremely seductive and absolutely outstanding?

If the appearance of the night is the more people never get tired of looking at it, the more happy they are, this woman shows her figure and appearance to the fullest, in order to give people the feeling at first sight, that is... It's good-looking, it's not beautiful.

Needless to say, the robe split to the crotch with the roundness of the legs is naturally adding more charm between the swings.

I don't know if it's deliberately convex and backward, the first feeling is that it is too deliberate, and even walks like a duck.

This made the first thing that Ye Sangen thought of when he saw her was Qi Moyan, which was an aftershow found in the city.

It's just that the woman who suddenly appeared in the courtyard was coquettish from her dress to her demeanor, and when she approached step by step, Ye San felt that it was better to suddenly appear in front of Ye Ya in the afternoon.

The woman deliberately opened the sable back, so that the dazzling white tender was even more unhesitant to be exposed to the slanting sun, and also exposed to the eyes of the crowd.

The woman smiled widely.

"It's only been more than three years, what kind of life has your brother cultivated, and there is only a skeleton left?"
