Chapter 141: Elegance at the Banquet
One night is two years old, and five watches are divided into two years.
The banquet is a banquet to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, but the real banquet is not like this, although the battle in the secret is not swords, guns and halberds, but it is also golden sparks. The people in the hall seem to be chatting enthusiastically, but the things they see with their eyes, their minds and the position where the afterglow falls, can be exquisite. Not only are these things exquisite, but even every program and every dish has a saying.
Hearing that the Yu Pavilion was able to win the jackpot, who didn't know that the new pavilion master had defected to Fei Nanhui early and became a guest in the General's Mansion who did not see him but deserved his name.
The second dance was choreographed by Donggong himself, and the woman who led the dance was Fei Nan's personal maidservant......
Ning Shi was actually quite interested in the dishes in this dining room, not far from where he was standing, a handsome young chef used a flower knife to cut the yellow croaker into a cross, and fried it in the oil pot.
Next to the yellow croaker is an oiled red rice cake, and in the pot is just the right amount of sugar water, which is thickened on top of the rice cake when the sugar melts. Next to the rice cake is the ten brocade Taiping swallows, with quail eggs and meat swallows, and then in the distance is the eight sheng hot pot, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, phoenix shark fin, red sea pearl incense, eight treasure wild duck, mushroom bear paw, raw roasted roe deer meat......
The tea is the Maojian of Xinyang Prefecture, the dim sum is the bergamot made of almonds, the dried fruit is the fallen plum of the snow-capped mountains, the soup is the bamboo sun of Longjing and the official swallow of Yipin, and the porridge is the velvet porridge of the comet.
Turning his head to look at Ziyun Tower.
Shen Mei'er could be vaguely seen standing on the side of the lobby, and a large square plate was placed on it, and there seemed to be a strange bird in the middle of the square plate.
Shen Mei'er gestured lightly to Yun Feihe, the elder of the Shen family behind her, and a red flame rose from the square plate. The closed tail of the strange bird opened violently, and the legendary phoenix was only the color difference, this strange bird is blue and green, and the phoenix should be fiery red.
When everyone exclaimed, the strange bird had been engulfed in flames, and the strange birds in the flames strangely did not mourn, as if they were enjoying the flames.
The flames are rising and swaying.
Strange birds are like phoenixes.
The flames retracted, and the strange bird disappeared with it, and a steaming plate of red-flame dishes appeared on the square plate.
Shen Mei'er stood in the center of the hall, bowed to Yingying, and said crisply: "A product of fire and phoenix is facing the sky, Mei'er wishes my aunt eternal beauty and longevity." ”
The Empress Dowager Fei Nan smiled and raised her hand: "The doll of the Shen family is handsome, revealing a heroic spirit, and it is really a natural match for the stunning." ”
After a pause, he turned his head to Li Tianyi: "Your Majesty, you should be rewarded." ”
After Li Tianyi took a seat, there was a smile on his face, a mechanical smile, a formulaic smile, without the slightest happy smile, and with this smile, he replied very appropriately: "The fire phoenix is auspicious, it really deserves to be rewarded." ”
Dishes are served.
Shen Meier's dish was originally the first dish that Fei Nan Yu tasted, whose dish she ate, how much each dish she would eat, and the ministers of civil and military affairs in the audience all watched.
Jian Wu sent it to Tingyu Pavilion, this dish she was going to give to the Shen family's sword furnace, these two sects are very important layouts of Fei Nanhui in the cultivation world, and she knows it.
The dish needs to be delivered at a distance, about fifty steps, and then Li Tianyi said the first sentence of the initiative tonight: "Queen Mother, Erchen has recently collected a dish for you in this Luoyang City, why don't you present it together?"
Fei Nan was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty is out of the palace?"
Li Tianyi replied: "You don't have to go out of the palace to find food, don't you want to taste it?"
When the fire phoenix swallowed the flames, the fat cook beckoned Ning Shi out of the dining room, and asked as he walked, "Are you sure you only need such a green plate?"
Ning Shi replied impatiently: "Isn't one plate enough? ”
The fat cook muttered, "I haven't seen it." ”
Ning Shi pointed to the fire phoenix Chaotian who had just made the trip: "Isn't that dish also conjured? What you see with your eyes may not be true." ”
Ning Shi, who was wearing a white sword suit, didn't know until this time that the person who was looking for him to cook was His Majesty of the Tang Kingdom, and the person who ate his cold papaya was the Queen Mother of the Tang Kingdom, because he didn't care much about them.
If there is no heart, there is no thought.
The hand in the sleeve gently soothed the little begonia who was a little nervous, and Ning Shi walked quite carefully, not because his mind had changed, but because there were a few seeping breaths in the Ziyun Building.
Ordinary people don't really feel it.
Cultivators who have entered the Tao can frighten their guts, especially the place where the Great General Fei Nanhui is located, like a heavenly knife that can kill ghosts and chase away gods!
Ning Shi secretly calmed his beating heart: "What kind of ghost banquet is this! Such a strong cultivator!
When Ning Shi walked towards Ziyun Tower on the periphery of the crowd, Shen Mei'er had already retreated behind Fei Nanhui, sat down next to Fei Jingzhen in the second row, raised her head and bent her eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "Brother Jingjing, Mei'er's gift to my aunt is decent?"
Fei Jing, who was sitting in the Ziyun Tower, had an expressionless face, his buttocks seemed to be hurting, and he nodded perfunctorily: "It's very decent, my aunt must be happy." ”
Shen Mei'er quietly moved her position and approached Fei Jing: "Is that stunned brother happy?"
Fei's stunned cheeks changed from expressionless to loveless: "Can you be happy?"
Empress Fei Wenxiu, who was sitting upright on the throne, tilted her head slightly, as if she was slightly surprised by Li Tianyi's dishes, stretched out her hand and gently tugged at her sleeve, she didn't speak, but the meaning of the inquiry was very clear, and it seemed to have some reprimand: "You have vegetables, why don't I know? The dishes found in Luoyang City? Could it be the result of me allowing you to leave the palace?" You don't respect me!"
Li Tianyi still replied with a harmless smile, the sun was like day, and he smiled like a fool.
Li Tianyi's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people sitting down to hear it, although he had no real power, he was the emperor after all. Your Empress Dowager wants to put enough gold on the face of the General's Mansion, and you really have to consider the faces of some people, maybe the Tang King just wants to express his respect for the Empress Dowager!
Rules are rules.
The Chinese New Year's Eve feast should be more about rules.
Dishes, this is all that must be served.
Li Tianyi smiled more brightly, but kept muttering in his heart: "I am the king of the Tang Kingdom, I am still sitting here, you are really proud, are you looking at me like looking at a monkey? Have you forgotten that the monkey is not a fool, and it is uncomfortable to make a big deal! Don't go over it! Anyway, I'm alone! No one cares about me anyway! Anyway, no one remembers, I am your majesty!"
