Chapter 719: The former soup name is white and jade, and it is flawless
Around half past six in the evening, the guests came to the palace one after another, and like the royal banquet earlier, this banquet was arranged on the square in front of the palace because of the large number of participants.
There have been many low tables set up here, and there are also a large number of futons, according to the scale of the Han formal banquet, the meal system is adopted. Of course, I don't want to sit too hard, just at least sit upright.
"There are already chairs and round tables, so why do you have to use such an ancient way of eating......" Cao Ren sat on the futon, and with her tutor, it was obvious that she had to sit upright. It's just that I haven't done that for a long time, and I just feel very uncomfortable in my knees.
"Maybe I think it's too casual, so I didn't pass it......" Cao Hong next to him said in a low voice, "Speaking of which, who is Taichang now?" ”
"Xu Xuan is here, the eldest son of Xu Shu, the original general of the blockage, seems to be a little younger according to his resume, but Yang Biao, who was originally scheduled to serve as Taichang, is now serving as the assassin of Xuzhou, so he was promoted at the next level, which can be regarded as a high promotion." Cao Ren had done a little homework, after all, they were all powerful people in Xu Du, and she didn't want someone to accidentally offend someone.
"Xu Xuan's resume is enough, but he was pressed before, although he is not a regressive species, but his talent resume is enough...... The key is that he has reached middle age, and it is estimated that he will be almost in ten years, and Taichang may be the last post. Cao Cao next to him reminded in a low voice.
"But sure enough...... People of this age tend to be stricter with etiquette......" Cao Ren complained.
"It's good to get used to it, I didn't always come like this before." Cao Cao said casually, "Your Majesty is here, be quiet!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xie was already under the escort of the forbidden army, surrounded by the palace maid and the yellow gate, and came to the main seat. As expected, Liu Feng, who was already the crown prince, was also brought out.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" The attendant Huang Men shouted, and the surrounding courtiers got up one after another to salute Liu Xie.
"Everyone, tonight is a happy day, don't be too restrained." Liu Xie pressed it for a moment, and then shouted loudly. The courtiers who heard the response sat down, and those who couldn't hear clearly in the back also sat down when they saw the front sitting, for fear that they would sit slowly and be rude.
A polite remark is indispensable, there is no special program today, after all, most of the participants are soldiers. Wen Ya naturally doesn't understand, and it may seem a little embarrassing if you really want to do it. So after Liu Xie's speech, he announced the start of the banquet and went straight to the point.
"It's really fast......" Liu Bei sighed a little, "I thought there would be some songs or something......
"It's already unitary time, and I have to go to the government tomorrow, and it is right to try to finish the banquet within an hour. By the way, eldest sister, have you decided where to stay tonight? Guan Yu asked with concern.
"I was going to go to the post station...... Liu Bei looked at someone, "but I didn't want to meet Xun Yu on the way, she invited us to stay in Wangjiazhuang, and I agreed." ”
"That's right...... That can't be helped......" Guan Yu pretended to be helpless, but his joy couldn't be concealed at all.
"And ......," Liu Bei smiled, "Come over this time, and finally get the marriage done." It can't be said that it will be carried out according to the orthodox wedding, but at least it is slightly more formal, so as not to underestimate you. Otherwise, I'm definitely not done with him! ”
"Big sister...... Thank you. Guan Yu said in a low voice, she was indeed a little moved.
"Between sisters, it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed faintly at the same time. Seeing that the second sister is also married, the third sister is engaged, and she has no home. Are all the good men in the world dead?!
The first round of meals has been served, and the first course is actually an appetizer, which can be dried radish, kimchi, or cashew nuts and fish fillet, the purpose is to appetize and increase appetite.
"Cashew fish fillet...... Cashews aren't cheap, are they? Cao Cao looked at the cashew nuts and fish fillets on the plate.
"It's only a little cheaper than chocolate, but it's not cheap either." Cao Ren next to him said in a low voice.
"Before the feast, I would like to salute all the generals and my Han warriors!" Liu Xie raised his wine glass and lifted it from afar.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine!" Although the wine has been poured by the palace maid in advance, people who are familiar with the rules will not raise their wine glasses at will before Liu Xie's toast, until this moment, everyone raised their wine glasses one after another, and after replying, they drank it all.
"The banquet begins, everyone is free to do it!" Liu Xie solemnly announced, which means that everyone can finally eat freely.
"Niangniang, eat ......" Liu Feng pointed to cashew nuts, obviously the little guy wanted to eat this.
"Feng Er wants to eat this? Wait......" Liu Xie picked up two and put them in his mouth, chewed them, and then spit them into the spoon and handed them to Liu Feng. Don't look a little dirty, but at least it won't get stuck in the trachea, and compared to life, this action is really nothing.
"Crunchy!" Liu Feng didn't mind, ate the cashew nuts in the clean spoon, and smiled at Liu Xie. Obviously, what Liu Xie drank before was not wine at all, but probably juice or water.
Also, the dignified emperor of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible not to toast, but if he is drunk and ugly, it is not good.
"This thing is pretty good to drink...... "He Qi enjoyed this thing very much, a cashew nut and a small sip of wine, very comfortable.
"Of course it's good, this thing is very expensive, and generally you and I are not willing to buy it." Xu Sheng, who was next to her, added that her attention was not on the meal at all, but she looked left and right, but she still couldn't see Wang Yong. In fact, she herself is also stationed in Xudu, and it is not difficult to see Wang Yong, but the girl is thin-skinned and doesn't want to make herself very active.
The time of the dinner was very accurate, everyone ate and drank a little, and then the soup came up. Huangmen shouted and reported the name of the dish: "The front soup, the white jade is flawless!" ”
"Wow!" Everyone is very curious, what kind of soup can be worthy of the words 'white jade flawless'. As a result, when the soup was served, the white-skinned bowl of soup was indeed as white as jade, and it was obviously at the level of mutton fat and white jade.
"Is this really soup, not soy milk?" Cao Ren complained in a low voice, but when he scooped it up and put it in his mouth, a smell of umami wafted up, flowed into his nasal cavity, and then turned into an electric current and rushed into his brain.
"It's such a fresh soup, you can smell this umami before you drink it!" Cao Ren couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"This should be fish soup, but I don't know what kind of fish it is......" Xun Yu sniffed, and then took a sip, her curiosity and appetite had been completely seduced, she couldn't wait to taste this soup.
“?!?!?!” Lu Bu directly clenched his fists excitedly, and the dull hair on his head was stimulated to stand up, as if it was fried. The face that had not changed for thousands of years, the cheeks appeared a faint flush, and the eyes were a little more joyful.
Obviously, she was very satisfied with the taste of the soup.
"I see...... Miscellaneous fish soup...... "Cao Cao took a sip, she had drunk this before, it didn't seem to be cooked by Wang Yong himself, but the finished product was still very good. Miscellaneous fish, cabbage, a pinch of salt and pepper, and almost no seasonings, but it is very rare to be able to boil such a white and delicious soup.
