Chapter 140: It's All the Same

After listening to Beguru's story, Wan Yan Xian couldn't help muttering in his heart, this Prince Yan blindly showed favor to himself, would he have other plans, or would he also make a note, he took two turns in the room to see that the delicate 'immortal is hard to find' and had an idea: "Whatever, if he dares to give it to me, he will be safe, and if he comes later, he will be in the future, and he will not dare to do anything to himself in the future!" ”

"Du Shuai, you change your clothes, Prince Yan originally set up a luncheon for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, but you went out, so it was changed to the evening!" Beguru said diligently, these days, he has become a close confidant of Du Shuai, and the good days of returning to the Jin Kingdom in the future are still ahead.

"It's good, this Prince Yan is very sensible, not like those who are vulgar and rude as soldiers!" Wan Yan also said, as if he was not a soldier, "Beguru, what do you think of Prince Yan?" He asked Beguru to change his clothes.

"Prince Yan is very young, twenty years old, but I asked him that he has a high reputation in Hedong!" Beguru said.

"It matters, so much nonsense!" Wan Yan also glared at Beguru and said.

"Yes, yes, Prince Yan is very talkative, he treats us very kindly, he is generous, he is very measured, and besides..."

"Okay, it's no different from fart, do you still know who you are!" Wan Yan Xian also interrupted Begulu's words, listening to his subordinates singing praises for others, he was very unhappy in his heart, I didn't see you praise me so much, Prince Yan bought you with a few clothes, and I will see what you do when I let you do it in the future.

Beguru quickly shut up. My heart was also churning vigorously, and I thought indignantly: "Lao Tzu is waiting for you before and after the saddle." When you open your mouth, you scold, and when you raise your hand, you hit. Take me as your house slave, Lao Tzu didn't complain, but now he asks me whose person I am! But thinking about it, he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, but his mind was full of the amiable Prince Yan!

As soon as it was dark, Prince Yan sent someone to invite him, and Wan Yan Xian also brought Beguru and led a few guards to the banquet. The feast was held in the inn. Naturally, there is no need for carriages and horses.

Zhao Ta had already waited in front of the hall, and after each saluted, he welcomed them into the lobby and took their seats after saluting again. On the Jin country's side, there are only Wan Yan Xian and Beguru, and Zhao Ta can't arrange many people, only him and Zhao Lian, the deputy governor of the Volcano Army, can be regarded as equal.

Although the number of people is not large, Wan Yan Xian is still a little restrained, whether it is a family banquet for their Jurchens. Or the imperial banquet is all sitting in a circle, and it is the first time he has participated in this kind of meal sharing method, and he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet. can only watch what the other party does, and he also learns.

exchanged a few words of greeting, and each asked the other party if the emperor was okay. After wishing them good health, they began to serve. According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty banquet, ring cakes, oil cakes, jujube towers, pigs, sheep and rabbits with bone and meat have been placed on the table. Wan Yan Xian also saw that Prince Yan only raised his glass and did not move. I could only swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva and drink the wine. But I complained in my heart that this cup was too small. It's not enjoyable at all.

It is said that there should be singing and dancing at this time, but Zhao Ta is not good at this tune, so no one dares to arrange it, and then look at the plate and take it down, the wine is full again, and two dishes of fake beef jelly and sugar and meat steamed buns are put on the table, but they still only look at it and don't eat it. According to the rules, the three rounds of wine will only be served and dished, smacking the wine, chatting, Zhao Ta has practiced, without the original panic, but Wanyan is also like sitting on pins and needles, this fragrant dish is served up and down, hooking his gluttony, but he has to maintain the majesty of a great minister.

Drinking the third glass of wine back and forth, the fourth round was two soups, chicken and fish soup, pig and sheep big bone and spicy soup, watching Prince Yan pick up the spoon, Wan Yan Xian was relieved, and drank a few sips. Fortunately, Begouru was worried that he would take it down for a while, and he didn't care much, so he almost picked up the basin and poured it into his mouth like a windmill dancing with a spoon.

The fourth glass of wine was drunk during the chat, and the new dish salt wine kidney, wine steamed chicken, finally got a little affordable, Wan Yan Xian also reached out and unscrewed a chicken leg to send it to his mouth, but he raised his eyes to see that Prince Yan on the side just took a sip of wine, tore off a piece of meat with a chopstick and put it in his mouth, the action was so elegant, he put the chicken leg back on the plate again, and clamped it with a chopstick, but his heart was sullen, although the meal was exquisite and delicious, he was really tired of eating, so he couldn't help but miss the days at home...

Their Jurchen feasts, do not use these silver bowls and plates, are all served on wooden plates or wooden plates, and the dishes are only wild things such as yusheng and roe sheng, and sometimes they will be roasted with fire, and they will drink cold wine. Even the emperor's imperial banquet was not as cumbersome as that of the Song people, everyone sat on the kang, each person had a bowl of barnyard rice, and pickled some wild leeks, wild garlic, long melons and other seasonal wild vegetables with salt. There are many kinds of meat, including pigs, sheep, chickens, deer, rabbits, wolves, muntjac, foxes, cows, donkeys, dogs, horses, geese, geese, fish, ducks, shrimp toads, etc., anyway, those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water are all eaten in their mouths, and the practice is to roast or stew, and then eat raw, dip some ingredients, and eat them with a saber.

The food is far from the popular cooking flavors such as stir-fried and steamed, stewed and marinated in the Central Plains, and it is very different from the elegant and light, novel and nourishing and other flavors and shapes of the court food, but it is better than pleasure, and the emperor also drinks with the same ladle as everyone else, and there are not so many rules that I don't understand.

"The face is handsome, today's hasty preparation is insufficient, the chefs in the house are vulgar, and the food is still delicious!" Zhao Ta put down the chopsticks and asked with a smile.

"Good, good!" Wan Yan Xian was also stunned for a moment and said, if you don't eat with your heart, it's better, I can have a good meal, and now I have to pretend!

"That's good, let's drink!" Zhao Ta raised his glass and said, "This water wine is also brewed in this house, and the strength is still very strong!" ”

"Well, this wine is good, we Dajin can't make such a spirit!" Beguru ate happily, poured himself another glass and said.

"Shut up, you don't know the rules!" Wan Yan Xian also glared at Beguru and said, this guy has thrown everyone to the Great Song Dynasty, and he knew that Lu Dao would not bring him here, "Prince Yan, this person is rude and doesn't understand the rules, don't blame!" He drank the wine, lit up his glass, and said that he had drunk it all.

"It's okay, Beguru is a man of temperament, and men should be like this!" Zhao Ta said with a smile, looking at the embarrassed appearance of the two, he was secretly happy in his heart, his goal had been achieved.

In fact, the same in ancient and modern times, this kind of banquet is no different from the battlefield, and it is necessary to pay attention to an advantage, now the two Jurchens are trembling, walking on thin ice, not knowing how to pretend to understand, I am afraid that they will show their cowardice, but the more this is the case, the more foreign appearances are full of foreigners, and they have been defeated psychologically, and they have no power to fight back. If they generously stand up and ask about it, then they will be suspected of bullying others who don't understand, and they will be considered defeated. But they prefer to hold on, so Zhao Ta can easily control the rhythm of the entire banquet.

"Hehe, what the prince said is true, men have to dare to act!" This relieved him at best, Beguru said with a grateful smile.

"Okay, King Beguru asks you, are you used to eating like this?" Zhao Ta looked at him and asked seriously.

"Thisβ€”" Beguru hesitated, seeing that Du Shuai had been silent for a long time and had not said anything.

"Ha Luha, in fact, I'm most afraid of eating like this, I haven't eaten enough every time I enter the palace for a banquet, I'm afraid the two of you feel the same way now!" Zhao Ta watched the two of them stare at each other playing dumb riddles, and Da Lu smiled and said his feelings.

"Alas, after a long time, the prince also thinks so, it makes me uncomfortable!" Beguru sighed, changed his kneeling to sitting cross-legged, rubbed his kneeling legs and smiled.

"Hehe, I'm not used to it, I'm tired and panicked when I eat, especially this wine glass is too small, not happy!" Wan Yan Xian also said with an embarrassed smile.

"Okay, since everyone is not happy, let's change the way!" Zhao Ta got up and said, "Zhao Lian, ask someone to change the table." Seeing that the news continued, all the dishes came up together, and the wine glass was removed and replaced with a large bowl! ”

The prince has an order, it doesn't take much effort to change the sample, the short table is removed and replaced with a long table, the four of them are sitting opposite each other, all the dishes prepared tonight are served together, there are Ding steamed sheep, sheep's head raw belly, carp, fried fish shreds, three-color reunion powder, three fresh powder, frozen three fresh, three-color crystal silk, batch cut sheep's head, spinning pork skin, eight rough ducks, winter moon rabbit, cold, hot, plus a pot of chestnut rice porridge cake porridge meat porridge, a large bowl of wine is also poured!

The Jurchens live in the old north, and the Gadda thief is cold, this wine has become a good thing, no one is bad, but limited to the low grain production, the wine-making is strictly controlled, and it is not possible to drink happily at any time, today good wine and good dishes are on the table, how can you let it go, Zhao Ta also put down the 'reserved', skimmed the chopsticks and grabbed it, his disrespectful behavior was recognized by Wan Yan Xianye, this is a brother!

After a few bowls of wine, his face turned red, his tongue was shortened, and his brain began to short-circuit, "Lord Yan, you are a real man, are you willing to stay here?" Wan Yan also asked with a big tongue.

"Hehe, I asked to come here because I like to eat mutton, there are so many sheep here, I can't eat them all, and I want to play outside, but maybe I'll have to leave one day!" Zhao Ta picked up the wine bowl and touched him with a drink.

"What are you doing?" Wan Yan also asked in confusion.

"Hehe, don't you understand Wanyan Dushuai? Your royal brother values you and lets you command the whole army. My father pampered me and let me govern Hedong, have you thought about it, once they are not there one day, can your second brother and my prince's brother rest assured? Zhao Ta said drunkly...
