When everyone sits down in the cool hall, the whole yard is exhaustive, what else does Ma Dan visit, the opposite side is also a door, a same lake and rockery, and in the middle, it is just an ordinary courtyard, it is estimated that it is a place to live and cook, looking down the mountain, you can see one of the key cities in Wolf State, the wolf city famous for raising orchids, just thinking of this, everyone suddenly noticed that the hall has been arranged with all kinds of gentleman's orchids.

began to serve, the chef is Zheng Ling, everyone sat down in turn, Xiaobin accompanied Guo Huai to sit at another table, and the royal four were accompanied by Yang Jiulang, it was strange, every dish that came up was wrapped in lotus leaves, each plate had five packs, and the other table was two packs, "There are more dishes today, so the amount is not large", after speaking, put the five purses of a plate on the empty plate in front of each person, one per person, everyone immediately understood, "I see" , and the tea in front of each person is full of lazy lotus petals, revealing a fragrance.

The first dish is wrapped in a roasted lotus leaf, and then opened, it is a fat chicken wing, Ma Dan, the lotus fragrance is all roasted into the chicken wings, the taste, the five people are fascinated, "Is there anything else?", Qi Shu couldn't help but ask, "There are thirty-six dishes in the back, are you sure you don't eat the ones behind?", Yang Jiulang asked with a smile, and then asked everyone to start drinking, "Ma Dan, how can there be a smell of lotus flowers?", seeing everyone's questions, " This is the lotus leaf wine that Ling'er just made a month ago, but the lotus flowers had just been planted at that time, and they didn't dare to pick more, so they didn't do much, but we didn't have a problem drinking it for a month, and then by then, the wine we just made would be able to drink it again", Yang Jiulang explained with a smile, and even Xiaobin and Guo Huai were listening with their ears pricked up.

When the seventeenth lotus leaf dish was eaten, the Empress Dowager Li couldn't eat it anymore, "Keep the rest for me, I'll continue to eat it at night", "I'm the same", Empress Dowager Liu also opened her mouth, and finally in the end, Renzong ate twenty-eight, Qi Shu and Yang Jiulang ate them all, "These are all made slowly three days ago, don't be afraid to put it, eat it again at night, Yang Jiulang asked people to withdraw from the table, Zheng Ling also came up, and wrote down everyone's leftovers, "Because the dishes are too difficult to make, I made a total of seven servings, and I will process them at night, and the taste will be better."

Everyone unanimously decided to let Guo Huai go back to Luyuan to take care of the livestock, Qi Shu went back to help Bao Zheng take care of the government, and the three of them decided to spend a month of vacation here, and then go back after the dog days. At this time, Chen Yulin came up, "Uncle Huang, don't think about it, I'm still in the recovery period, I don't dare to eat indiscriminately, besides, I'm afraid that the injury will affect the mood of the emperor's uncles and uncles, so I'm busy with my aunt below, every dish you eat, the outermost packaging is out of my hand", smiled, "It's just that the hand is a little slow", after speaking, he smiled embarrassedly, Renzong's distress, "The future can become a powerful state hand of Shu'er", Renzong thought secretly.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiaobin sent the two back to their respective homes, because the sika deer was small, and each person could only report two jars of wine back.

"As soon as you enter the door, it is very luxurious, which scares me, but you are still reluctant to spend money, no more than one million taels, right?", Renzong asked Yang Jiulang, "I saved the land money and the workers' wages, and spent a total of 710,000 taels", "What? It took such a small amount of money? This is in Tokyo, and you can only build a middle-to-upper courtyard", Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth excitedly.

In the evening, there were four people left on the table, because Xiaobin did not come up, and the rest of the three people ate in the morning were not served, Zheng Ling only served eight pots of various lotus porridge, and eight snacks for wine, all of which were very light, "The two imperial grandmothers, the imperial father, can't eat too much in a day, it's not good for the body, I haven't finished eating in the morning, I have re-ironed, and I will eat it again tomorrow morning?" , said a smile, sat on a chair at the other table, and waited at any time, "Jiulang really married a good daughter-in-law,,,", the two queen mothers began to gossip again.
