Chapter 639: Night Banquet

It was night, and the streets of Kaiyang City, large and small, were patrolled by soldiers and enforced curfews.

Nowadays, the whole of Jeju is not peaceful, and the blood warriors are infested, and some large cities have sergeants patrolling at night to strangle all those who walk at night.

Of course, people in the rivers and lakes generally do not pay attention to the orders of the imperial court, and night walks are common. However, such a person cannot be blamed on others when he is strangled by the sergeants.

Every night, there are dying screams. These are the last voices of those who do not measure themselves.

As for those who have enough strength, if they want to walk at night, they will not be discovered by these soldiers. Since it was not discovered, it was naturally not a violation of the curfew.

However, tonight, in a tavern on Baiyun Street in Kaiyang City, there are still people drinking and feasting.

The tavern is an ordinary tavern, and the tables and chairs in it are not valuable, they are all ordinary pineapple wood. It was said that it was a banquet, but there was no arrangement, only an ordinary square table with a few small dishes and three wine glasses.

Overall, it can be summed up in four words: mediocre.

"Lord Ning, Lord Qin, come, I'll give you a drink!"

In the tavern, a very rough-looking man, dressed in luxurious clothes, raised his glass.

"The prince is polite, it should be me waiting to respect you. Ning Wuming picked up his wine glass and said politely.

Yes, the people who drank here were Ning Wuming and Qin Xihai, who came to King Renyi's dinner. And that rough man is naturally the king of benevolence and righteousness.

The word benevolence and righteousness are of great significance in Daqian. In addition to expressing noble character, these two characters also represent the two veins of Confucianism, benevolence and righteousness in those years. But it was such a name related to Confucianism, but in the end, it fell on the head of a rough man.

It is said that a Confucian scholar once saw the queen of benevolence and righteousness, and wept bitterly, shouting that the descendants were useless, and he couldn't live with the holy master Yunyun.

Qin Xihai also heard about this in the past, but he didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was a rumor. To this day, she has seen the righteous king.

I have to say that King Renyi subverted her imagination. I thought that this prince, who had been staying in Jeju since the former emperor Bintianhou, was a careerist, but now seeing his dignity and style, I feel that he is a bit sorry for those ambitious people.

"What's the matter, Lord Qin is not satisfied with this wine and food?" Xu saw Qin Xihai's hesitation, and the benevolent and righteous Wang Fengyuan put down the wine glass and said suspiciously.

No, it just feels like the banquet was a bit unexpected. The corners of Qin Xihai's mouth twitched, thinking.

In her mind, even if this banquet was not in a luxurious mansion, it should be on the top floor of the most luxurious Dengyun Tower in Kaiyang City. But she never thought about it, but she didn't expect it to be in an ordinary restaurant.

"How dare you," Qin Xihai said with a smile, "This wine and food seem ordinary, but in fact the taste is very delicious, Xihai also wants to thank the prince for his hospitality." ”

This sentence is not nonsense, although the pig's head meat, boiled cabbage, sauced beef, and the most common fried peanuts are all ordinary dishes, but the taste is not unusual at all. Qin Xihai really thinks it's delicious.

"Haha, it's good to be satisfied, it's good to be satisfied, so I'm relieved. King Renyi laughed.

His self-proclaimed name has always been "me", not "this king", and it seems that there is no prince at all.

"Xihai is indeed a person who knows how to taste food," Ning Wuming said with a smile, "These dishes seem to be ordinary, but in fact, they are the result of countless efforts of the chef, and it can be said that they are incomparable to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea." ”

He picked up a piece of pig's head meat and said, "This meat should be from the Biluo pig who has eaten Qianling ginseng and drunk Qingbi liquid since childhood." The piglets cultivated by the Baicao Pavilion with secret methods, each one, will cost more than 50,000 taels of elixir. And their selling price is 150,000 taels per head.

In this plate of pig's head meat, each piece is taken from the most tender place, roughly calculated, you have to use four Biluo pigs. This dish alone will cost 600,000 taels of silver. ”

"Lord Wang, are you right?" Ning Wuming slowly put the pig's head meat into his mouth and chewed slowly.

"There is also this boiled cabbage, the water is pearl liquid, and the vegetable is a white jade spirit vegetable that absorbs the medicinal liquid and grows. Sauce beef, the meat is the meat of the descendants left by the sacred cow of the Mauryan Dynasty in the past. It is this peanut rice, which is also fried with a hot fire. ”

Ning Wuming pointed and pointed out, and told all the names of these dishes.

"The most precious thing is that the chef who cooks these dishes uses pure true qi to turn the aura into every ingredient of the dish, making it look like it is just an ordinary dish, even if the master tastes it himself, he only thinks that the taste is extremely beautiful, but he ignores the aura in it. ”

"And this incense that seems to be nothing······"

Ning Wuming suddenly flapped his nose and said: "The ambergris produced by the East China Sea fragrant whale is a special supply for the royal family, and it is hard to find." ”

"Lord, your kindness makes it difficult for me to feel it. ”

After the words fell, the scene suddenly fell silent for a moment, and it was broken by laughter.

"Haha, is it? I only asked the people below to pick out some good hospitality for the two gods, but I didn't expect them to make such a big surprise for me. Hahaha······ I'm a rough person, and I don't know these doors, but I was introduced by Lord Lao Funing. King Renyi laughed.

Rough people?

Ning Wuming, who was breezy and light, also twitched his cheeks.

The descendants of the royal family who have been passed down for thousands of years are rough people, so what are we? A rural farmer who gouges in the field, or a street beggar who can't read a single word?

Ning Wuming doesn't believe it, the benevolent and righteous king who helped the first emperor ascend to the throne of God will be a rough man who doesn't understand anything. Even if it is coarse, he should be coarse and fine.

"The prince has won the prize. In the end, Ning Wuming just said lightly.

King Renyi's laughter slowly lowered. He looked at Ning Wuming, who was still indifferent and didn't speak, as if he wanted to see him in his heart.

Silence suddenly descended on this ordinary small restaurant.

It doesn't last long, though. King Renyi quickly broke the silence, "Since we are hosting a banquet, if we don't eat, won't we live up to the chef's wishes?" ”

Ning Wuming and Qin Xihai naturally would not refuse, and they also raised their glasses to each other.

The three of them ate and drank like this, slowly eating the four priceless peasant dishes, and drinking up the jar of extraordinarily delicious rice wine.

King Renyi has always been drinking heavily and eating large pieces of meat, showing his bold nature.

And Ning Wuming has always looked faint, and he can't see any enthusiasm.

The seemingly simple banquet ended quickly, after all, the three of them ate non-stop. When Ning Wuming finished eating the wine and food, he took Qin Xihai to say goodbye, ignoring the retention of King Renyi at all.

The King of Benevolence and Righteousness looked a little disappointed, but he did not look annoyed.

The banquet began in such an unexpected place and ended in an extremely strange way.
