The evening breeze rises, and the appetite is open.

In the midsummer dusk, the boiling heat wave is gradually cooled by the evening breeze, and it is the most suitable thing to sit at the table and eat at the table in the cool dusk.

In particular, the table is full of sumptuous and fragrant delicacies, which cannot disappoint the mouth and appetite.

Yellow stewed shark fin, using Luzon tribute to the precious shark fin, golden and bright, full of elasticity, the taste made is soft and glutinous and easy to absorb, the stewed soup is the old chicken soup stewed overnight slow fire, both fresh and fragrant, the chicken soup meets shark fin, brings a sublimation of taste and vision, nourishes and nourishes qi, strengthens muscles and bones, wonderful.

Sika deer tendon, using the sika deer of Changbai Mountain paid tribute by Jianzhou Sanwei, take its deer tendon into the dish, and then match the hare and pheasant native to Changbai Mountain, as well as ginseng, wolfberry and white siad that is easy to absorb the soup, and finally simmer on the sweet radish and apple, the sika deer tendon after the pot is fresh and does not have any fishy taste, the soup is still rich and mellow, the whole dish is not fat or greasy, and there is a special game fragrance.

The most conspicuous large plate of lamb rib meat in the middle of the table is the Yanchi Tan sheep in the Hetao area, the Tan sheep that grows here eats Chinese herbal medicine, drinks the ditch spring water, the meat is red and white, the taste is delicious, fragrant but not fat, and the meat fragrance reaches the tip of the tongue after stewing.

......

A series of delicacies from the mountains and seas, plates of delicacies, all of which use precious ingredients and exude attractive fragrances.

But

Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting behind the table, looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas and delicacies at this table, but he did not have the slightest intention of doing it.

equally

Yang Guoliang, who was two rooms away from Zhang Juzheng, was also facing the same table of delicacies and delicacies, just like quitting meat and vegetarian and soup, and he didn't eat a bite.

The reasons are all the same.

No chopsticks.

Yes, the chamberlain served them a table of delicious food, but forgot to give them a pair of chopsticks.

Spoons are also absent.

How can you eat without chopsticks?! How can you taste soup without a spoon?!

This is the same as having no pen in the examination room and no weapons on the battlefield.

Faced with a table of imperial food full of color and flavor, I could only stare dryly.

Of course, there are also fierce men who bite their fingers to answer questions in blood and tear devils with their bare hands, well, it is Zhu Ping'an who is two rooms away from them. At this moment, there were two less lamb ribs on the plate in front of Zhu Ping'an, and there was one more clean lamb rib on the table, and half of the lamb rib in his hand had been gnawed.

When Zhu Ping'an finished gnawing on the second lamb rib, Zhang Juzheng, who was two rooms away from him, finally moved.

"I'm sorry to bother, this father-in-law, can you please ask your father-in-law to get a pair of chopsticks for Zhang......."

Zhang Juzheng turned around and arched his hand to the nearest chamberlain, apologized for his sin, and asked him to fetch him a pair of chopsticks.

"Ah, chopsticks....... It's all miscellaneous, I forgot to set chopsticks for Mr. Zhang, it's really damn it, how can I eat without chopsticks, Mr. Zhang waits, the miscellaneous family will take chopsticks for adults. ”

When the waiter heard this, he glanced at the table, and was "surprised" to find that he had forgotten to put chopsticks on Zhang Juzheng, and hurriedly confessed to Zhang Juzheng, and then immediately turned around and went out to get chopsticks, spoons and other tableware for Zhang Juzheng.

The tableware in the palace naturally had different reactions, and the chamberlain brought a pair of white ivory chopsticks and a spoon made of jade.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

After Zhang Juzheng took the chopsticks, he thanked him, sat upright, and used the imperial meal in an aristocratic style from the inside out.

Ivory chopsticks, fragrant vegetables, the imperial meal really lives up to its name.

When Zhu Ping'an was about to reach out to take the third lamb rib, the waiter on the side seemed to "finally" find that he had forgotten to set chopsticks for Zhu Ping'an, and hurriedly came forward to confess to Zhu Ping'an: "Ah, it's really damn, the miscellaneous family just forgot to put chopsticks for Lord Zhu, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

"Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's okay......"

Zhu Ping'an was stunned for a moment when he pinched the third lamb rib meat when he heard this, glanced at the table, and suddenly found that there were chopsticks missing on the table, and then smiled innocently, waved his hand indifferently, and then continued to put the lamb rib meat in his hand into his mouth.

The attendant on the side has been paying attention to Zhu Ping'an's expression.

Now.

He was deeply impressed by Zhu Ping'an's "acting skills".

The slightly raised eyebrows, the slightly wide open mouth, the surprise that flickered in the pupils, the curvature of the cheeks......

Even Master Zhu was surprised when he heard me say that I forgot to swing the chopsticks.

Lord Zhu's "surprise" and "suddenness", everything is so natural, everything is so real, and everything is so appropriate......

Seeing this, the waiter couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought about his performance again.

Just now I showed my expression when I "found" and forgot to put on the chopsticks, and the expression of Lord Zhu "found" no chopsticks is really too far away, although I couldn't see my expression at the time, but the waiter also knew that his expression was a little stiff and unnatural, and there were many flaws in his expressiveness.

Lord Zhu really deserves to be the champion who dominated the year of the weak crown, and he is worthy of being a rising star in the officialdom who rises in three days, enters the cabinet in two months, and rises two times in March.

At this moment, Zhu Ping'an's figure of kneeling and eating is so tall in the eyes of the waiter, it is simply as high as 10,000 feet......

With respect, the waiter turned around and took the chopsticks for Zhu Ping'an, and put them on the table in front of Zhu Ping'an, which was also a pair of ivory chopsticks.

"Thank you."

Zhu Ping'an took the chopsticks, thanked the waiter, and continued to hold the unfinished lamb ribs with his hands to gnaw them, and then picked up the wet towel on the side to wipe his hands clean, and then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the sika deer tendons, put them in his mouth and feasted on them.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Ping'an both had chopsticks, or aristocratic enjoyment or feasting.

But

Yang Guoliang, who was two rooms away from each of them, still looked like he had quit meat and vegetarian and soup, facing a table of delicious food, sitting upright, not moving a plate, just pouring himself cup after cup of hot tea, drinking tea, drinking tea, drinking tea.......

Come on, come on, dry this glass, and another glass......

The tea in the palace is delicious, and the delicious can't be stopped......

Yang Guoliang, who was drinking tea while drinking tea, had eggs in his heart, so he kept drinking, drinking cup after cup.

The waiter in the room also "didn't" realize that he forgot to set chopsticks for Yang Guoliang, so he watched Yang Guoliang drink cup after cup.
