Chapter 568: Birthday Celebration (Part II)

After the empress finished dressing up, the two sat facing each other in the dormitory smoking e-cigarettes, and a large amount of smoke came out of the mouths of the two and wrapped them up.

The reason why the empress likes e-cigarettes is, of course, because this thing is sweet!

And it's still cold.

The two of them were like eating snacks, one bite after another, and the whole hall was full of fruit and milky aroma.

From time to time, the empress looked up through the glass in the distance and looked outside, a little tempted to go out for a walk, but thinking about the hot weather outside, she gave up this idea and stayed in the palace with peace of mind.

When the heart broke down, I saw two people at the door who couldn't even see their figures clearly. This is not the first time I've seen this kind of image, so it's not surprising.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Ren Baqian said goodbye and left, went to check some other arrangements, and did not sneak to the Xingqing Hall with his hands behind his back until the evening. Whether it is the empress's birthday celebration or the year-end banquet, it is basically here.

It is said to be a palace, but it is actually a large palace, but it has always been used only by the main hall as a banquet for the ministers. Most of the other halls have been abandoned for a long time. Even if someone cleans it from time to time, it is still a little dilapidated.

When Ren Baqian entered the main hall, many people in the hall were looking up to study the light strip above their heads.

Ren Baqian can now carry 1200 pounds of things at a time, and it is much easier to carry items, and during this time, he has brought a lot of light belts to install in the hall, and at this time there are various lights flashing in the air, making the whole hall like a fairy tale world.

Ren Baqian came in and attracted the attention of some people, and after nodding his head, he found his place and began to wait, occasionally chatting with Wind Throat in the middle.

Wind Throat is very interested in the winemaking and springs that Ren Baqian and the Zhang family gambled on, especially the spring made into a crossbow is also a big weapon, but unfortunately that kind of spring can't be made in this world for the time being.

Neither the material nor the process can be reached.

As for winemaking, Ren Yachi also prepared the royal family to establish his own winery. After all, in this world, the spirits market is large, the profits are also huge, and it is not suitable for diffusion in a short period of time. Especially in Dayao, the grain production has not yet reached the point where it can be used for large-scale brewing.

Ren Baqian was about to take out cotton and textile technology, and talked a few words with Feng Throat, and Ge Yihong also joined in after hearing half a word. Ren Baqian and several ministers of the Ministry of Industry formed a small circle and whispered there, which made many people look sideways.

Tong Zhenye didn't know when he came to listen to a few people for a long time, and couldn't help but speak: "Governor Ren, do you want to come to the Ministry of Industry to take up a position? It's a pity that your talent doesn't come to the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Master Copper!" Ren Baqian turned his head to say hello. As for going to the Ministry of Industry, forget it.

After another quarter of an hour, Shi Qing, Hongwu, Xi Wanya and others also arrived and sat down, and with the sound of "Your Majesty has arrived" in front of the hall, the empress slowly entered the hall with the two of them in a big red Hanfu and a green kite.

After everyone saw the salute, they slowly sat down as the empress sat down on the top.

Then the maids outside the hall brought the dishes into the hall one after another, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on Ren Baqian's face.

The dishes at last year's birthday celebration were very impressive, and many people didn't eat much that time.

At this time, as soon as the food was served, everyone immediately remembered him and wanted to see something on his face, so they were mentally prepared.

Ren Baqian smiled kindly, so that everyone put down their snacks a little, this year is their own people, it should be the same as in previous years, right?

However, as the first dish was served, everyone's faces immediately darkened.

A plate contains a whole piece of blood sausage coiled together, of course, Ren Baqian knows what it is, but the others don't know, and when they see this, they lose their appetite for food.

When the second dish came up, everyone drew their knives and cut Ren Baqian's thoughts.

I saw a roasted sheep whip and two sheep eggs neatly placed on the plate, how can this thing be eaten? Does it make people gnaw? But how to eat this thing does not feel right!

Think of a large hall of people neatly gnawing sheep whips there, that picture should not be too beautiful.

Many people stretched out their heads to look at the empress, and found that the empress's dishes were completely different from theirs, and they immediately glared at Ren Baqian with a murderous expression.

The third is a soup, a copper basin in which a bat the size of two palms swims backstroke......

This bat soup made everyone lose their appetite immediately.

The fourth one looked good, and it smelled good, and everyone looked at the contents of the bowl, which looked like it was edible, right?

In fact, this dish is also a famous dish, boiled and burned, Ren Baqian didn't have a mouth when he saw it for the first time, but later after eating it under the bewitchment of others, he found that it tasted good.

Fifth course – a bowl of carpaccio sauce......

Sixth course – a curvy grilled water snake......

Seeing the sixth dish, everyone finally felt that there was still a dish that could be eaten this year, and then continued to raise their heads and stare at Ren Baqian with murderous eyes, you are carrying it with us, right?

You're not done yet, are you?

Ren Baqian is also quite aggrieved, and only three items in this year's menu are provided by himself, namely boiled fire, roasted lamb whip and blood sausage.

The other bat soups, carpaccio sauces, and grilled water snakes were all developed by the Imperial Dining Room itself.

I don't know if the imperial dining room has made a mistake in some natural skills, and has actually researched several dark dishes.

Usually, the dishes made in the imperial dining room are eaten by the empress and Ren Baqian, and no one shares them after they have researched them. Now that the empress is celebrating her birthday, so many adults are here, so they have taken out all their resources.

This time it really doesn't have much to do with me, at most it's only half of it.

The empress looked at everyone's faces, then at the food on everyone's table, and then at herself, and then ignored it. Anyway, what you eat by yourself doesn't seem to be a problem.

Then there is the inscription, which is not much new, just a routine.

Ren Baqian took the opportunity to look around the hall, and Li Fu really didn't come. Anyway, Li Fu is also the best in the world, so he has to invite him.

I don't know if Li Fu really doesn't like this environment, or if he doesn't want to see Qin Chuan, Tong Zhenye, Tu Wan and others again...... Directly refused. Just now he sent someone to invite him, but it seems that he didn't come at this time.

As the empress drank the first glass of wine, a group of Jing girls entered the hall and danced, and those Jing girls had silver bells hanging around their waists, and the silver bells rang non-stop with the dancing posture, which was extremely pleasant. And the dancing posture is also different from the wildness of the ancient girl, full of soft beauty, but it is another taste.

At least Ren Baqian likes this kind of thing, and he looks good with or without clothes.

As the Jing girl retreated, several musicians played enthusiastic tunes in front of the hall, and officials from the Central Imperial Mansion sang the salute list in front of the palace, and the atmosphere in the hall began to warm up.
