Chapter 22: In the Imperial Dining Room
Ouyang Wu Ghost looked at the sitting appearance of King Hailing, and couldn't help but secretly laugh, and said in his heart: "This emperor is rare and strange, he has never even seen spiritual power, and he is scared like this, it is really pus-filled ... Huh~ The world is occupied by these birds, no wonder the people are suffering, but they are recruiting who to provoke..."
Thinking in his heart, when he saw that there was no movement around, he went down and down from the window. Fu walked around the courtyards, figured out the situation in the palace, and turned to leave, when he suddenly smelled a fierce smell of wine, but his legs were as if they were filled with lead.
Among the many favorites of Ouyang Wugui's life, the most important thing is fine wine. If there is wine, it will inevitably seek to get drunk, and the rise of those who do not drink it will inevitably refuse to pay attention to other things. At the moment, follow the aroma of wine and look for it, before you come to the imperial dining room. At this time, it was noon, and King Hailing was eating, and the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room was very busy, and the smell of delicious food came from the house. Ouyang Wugui didn't pay attention to the food, and the rich aroma of rice in his heart couldn't hide the aroma of this wine, which showed that this wine was not a jade liquid, but also a century-old wine. Secretly swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, used his spiritual power to jump on the roof, looked up, and saw that there was no side courtyard behind the house, and the wine must be hidden in this imperial dining room.
Ouyang Wu Ghost took off a tile from the roof, looked inside, and only heard a girly man's voice inside: "People over there, hurry up, Xiao Anzi, you go and see if the meat is cut~ Xiao Lizi! I can't afford to cook! The golden jade longan cake is going to be paste!" I saw that the man was holding a handful of jade-headed fine tassels in his hand, his hair and beard were white, and he looked like he had a destiny, but a pair of triangular eyes flashed, with a straight face, looking left and right, looking very shrewd and capable, that is, he was fat, slightly rich, and a greasy belly was not too cumbersome.
Those big and small imperial chefs seemed to be very jealous of him, and they were all busy with his words. Ouyang Wu said in his heart: "This bird eunuch is probably the head of the imperial dining room, and I will find a way to tease him and find out the whereabouts of the wine."
Thinking about countermeasures, I looked around, and suddenly saw a frame on the north wall with the picture of the king of the stove, and I was happy and had an idea.
Ouyang Wu Ghost urged the spiritual power, and with a gust of wind, the doors and windows of the imperial dining room were all closed, even the skylight for ventilation, and suddenly the room was dim, and the imperial kitchen was in a mess. The chief manager was so well-informed that he pulled out the burning torch from the stove and lifted it forward to illuminate the house. When the imperial chefs saw the light, they settled down. The manager reprimanded: "A bunch of waste snacks! Hanging gusts of wind scare you like this! What kind of system do you have to work for the Lord of Banzai?" As he spoke, he looked at the pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness around him, and couldn't help but shudder, and scolded: "Don't fucking open the doors and windows! I want to scare the old man to death!" Several imperial chefs couldn't help laughing, and they were afraid that he would see it, so they quickly turned around and ran to open the window and door, but no matter how hard they shook, the door couldn't be opened, as if people were locked outside. The imperial chef named Xiao Lizi shouted: "Boss, this can't be opened!" The manager twisted his eyebrows, "Waste, do you usually eat food or shit? You can't open the door even if you pull the door..." Everyone was in an uproar, only to see a puff of green smoke coming out of the stove king, and a voice faintly said: "Wait for ordinary people ~ When you see Wu Su Jili, don't kneel down quickly!"
There was a person in the room who shouted loudly: "Isn't Su Jili the Lord of the Stove!" Everyone was shocked, knelt down one after another, and shouted in their mouths: "The Lord of the Stove has appeared!
The manager was so frightened that the three souls lost their spirits, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and said: "Lord Stove bless, Lord Stove blesses, the little ones don't know when they offended Grandpa Stove King, and they still look at Grandpa Haihan!" The rest of the people also kowtowed together: "Grandpa Haihan! Grandpa Haihan!" The green smoke kept making a faint sound, and suddenly snorted, as if someone couldn't help laughing. The manager laughed, doubted, and looked up. The puff of green smoke seemed to be dissatisfied, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Huh?" The manager quickly lowered his head again, and did not dare to move any longer, and lay on the ground trembling incessantly.
All this was naturally arranged by Ouyang Wugui. He first used his spiritual power to bring up a gust of wind, closed the doors and windows, and cast a small seal, so that ordinary people could not open it, this stove king statue was broken, and there was green smoke, naturally Ouyang Wu Ghost was the most proud of the mind magic technique.
Ouyang Wugui lowered his voice and said: "Ahem, well, last year's twenty-third lunar month, have you all worshiped me?" The chief hurriedly replied: "Worshipped, the little ones dare not forget grandpa's birthday, every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, they will honor your old man, dare not have a trace of neglect, I hope grandpa will bless you!" After speaking, he paused, and then said: "Grandpa, this year has not yet reached the twenty-third day of the lunar month, why did your old man manifest his spirit..."
The puff of green smoke rebuked: "Extremely wasteful! I have done stupid things, and I want my grandfather to bless you!"
The big and small people in the house kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "Please also ask grandpa to make it clear, please ask grandpa to make it clear!"
Ouyang Wu Ghost was secretly amused and said, "Ah, it's actually nothing. It's just that this king eats these raush seeds every year, and he eats cocoons in his mouth. The king doesn't want to eat these tributes anymore. ”
The manager said: "Yes, yes, why didn't we think of it, grandpa must be tired of eating these all the time! Seeing this, Ouyang Wu couldn't help it, and couldn't stop laughing. The manager also said that the prince of the stove was very satisfied with his behavior, so he laughed, and was not suspicious, and asked: "What does grandpa want to use this year, the small one will go to do it immediately!" The big and small imperial chefs next to him all shouted: "Go immediately, go immediately." Ouyang Wu Ghost hurriedly said: "Wine! Good wine! All for this king!" The chief manager slapped his mouth again, and said: "Eh, look at my brain! Yes, the little one will definitely bring the best wine to your old man on the twenty-third of this year!" After a pause, he said: "I hope you will bless the little one to be promoted and make a fortune!" Ouyang Wu Ghost said impatiently: "What are you waiting for on the twenty-third day of the lunar month! Hurry up! Go now and bring the best wine to this king!" Saying that, the big and small imperial chefs got up and walked to the back, lifted a stone slab, and instantly the aroma of wine overflowed, floating all over the yard. Ouyang Wu said in his heart, this trip was not in vain, there was really good wine! It turned out that it was all hidden in the cellar, hey, it was really the fragrance of wine and not afraid of deep alleys!
I saw that those imperial chefs carried out more than a dozen jars of fine wine, large and small, all of which were sealed with seals, and the seals were extremely old, and they would have been around for hundreds of years.
The manager introduced them one by one, pointed to a jar of wine with a big red cloth tied with a gold rope on it and said: "Grandpa, this is the seventy-year-old Shaoxing daughter Hong, who came from the Southern Dynasty as a tribute~" As he spoke, he tore off the cloth strips on it, and the wine was a big victory, and several small imperial chefs who were not strong enough to drink were a little drunk. Ouyang Wu ghost shouted: "Okay! Okay!" The manager pointed to a white porcelain bottle on the side and said: "Have you seen it, don't look at this bottle, but the wine inside is extremely powerful, no matter how good the amount of wine is, it can't hold three glasses in front of it~ Therefore, this wine is called three cups of drunk." As he spoke, he opened the cap again, this wine was different from the mellow taste of his daughter red, it was extremely violent, and the smell of wine spread suddenly, and there was already a royal chef who couldn't hold it, fell down, and quickly held on to the stove on the side, and reluctantly stood up. Ouyang Wu said in his heart: "Yes, if you open it like this, there will be a few in this room." But as soon as he touched the word wine, he rose up, and did not stop it.
The steward continued, "Grandpa, look at this again," and said as he moved a large wooden barrel with a cork on it, and said, "This is the Golden Finger wine that the northern country has paid tribute to." Grandpa, this Golden Finger wine is no different from ordinary wine, seven steamed and seven brewed, after 49 processes, it can only be made in a few barrels every year. Ouyang Wu Ghost was pleasantly surprised: "Only a few barrels are brewed every year?" The manager said proudly: "Back to Grandpa's words, yes, this Golden Finger Grape was transported to Turpan from other countries, and it doesn't like to survive, and when it arrives, there is less than one-fifth of the remaining Golden Finger Grape that can make wine." Moreover, the grapes ripen in July every year, and it takes two months to transport them from other countries to Turpan, and the best time to make wine is in June and July, so it has to be painstakingly concocted with complex processes, and half of them have to be discarded, so only a few barrels are produced every year. However, the fruit of this golden finger grape is huge and extremely sweet, so the wine made from it is called fragrant and delicious. As he spoke, he pulled out the cork, and in an instant, the sweet fragrance overflowed, and the fragrance was fragrant for ten miles.
Ouyang Wugui couldn't bear it anymore and said: "That's enough, there is no need to explain more, this king is an immortal god, so he naturally knows it." All go out, go out, this king wants to clean the altar and break the fast!" "Yes, yes, yes!" A cadre of people walked backwards to the door, but the door was still closed and could not be opened, and the general pipe: "Grandpa, this door..." Ouyang Wu ghost's spiritual power stroked, the doors and windows were opened, and he said: "Let's all go out, when this king uses the tribute well, it is naturally indispensable to give blessings and so on." The people were overjoyed, and they rushed out one after another, and then kept the doors and windows tightly outside, and did not dare to approach.
Ouyang Wugui made a hole in the house, turned over and entered the house, and couldn't help but be ecstatic when he saw a room full of all kinds of wine jars and wine bottles, and first picked up the jar and smelled the Shaoxing daughter's red. For a moment, I only felt that I was in the countryside, the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, and I couldn't say how comfortable and thorough my body was. smiled in his heart: "Such a good wine, wouldn't it be a pity if it was all drunk by that bastard old man?" At the moment, regardless of whether it was clean or not, he lay down on the stove, holding the back of his head with one hand, holding the wine jar with the other, and running water from mouth to mouth, cooing and cooing, and after a while, a whole jar was dried. Ouyang Wu Ghost wiped his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" said and picked up another jar. In this way, for more than an hour, the dozen jars of wine that had just been brought up were swept away.
Ouyang Wu Ghost swayed and burped, and said in his heart: "It's not too early, I have to go back, don't let this kid cause me anything." As he spoke, he got out of the hole in the roof, and used his spiritual power to stride through the air and climb over the high wall of the palace.
(I'm selling, I wish you all a happy new year in advance, all the best~)
