Chapter 41 Braised without meat
The browned and smooth salt-baked chicken lies on the side in the large plate, pretending to be complete. Some chopped green onions, perilla, a small saucepan and a dish of seasoning and a dish of food were placed outside the plate.
At first glance, you won’t find anything wrong, but when you look closely, you will reveal your feet. After all, a fat thigh below disappeared out of thin air.
On the deputy table, a clever imperial guard, Wailang, didn't bother waiting for the chief officer to move his chopsticks and announce that he had started eating. He quickly stood up and took up the knife to destroy the body and said with a smile:
"Su Langzhong didn't know that this salt-baked chicken is a unique method in Baishacheng. In addition to soaking it with sand ginger, sea salt, coriander, etc., several medicinal materials are added. After tearing off one leg, the taste can be better penetrated... Come on, let's try how it tastes?"
As the highest official present in China, the Minister of Rites He Lang picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the dining table, smiled at Wang Duan, and said, "Mr. Wang, please."
Wang Duan nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and smiled:
"The customs of your country are interesting."
The etiquette of communication between countries is that no matter big or small countries, it pays attention to the same level. When you come to the Secretary of the House, I accompany you. Mr. Hu was one level lower and was just a deputy. Seeing that the table was in a mess, I couldn't figure it out.
Qiyun Restaurant is only average in Baisha City. The reason why he was selected to make a state banquet was because he had a royal background. Of course, Hu Li had to help his own people's business and was at ease when using it. Who would have thought that he would cause such a big mess.
If you cut corners, you won’t cut corners at the state banquet. What’s more, the entire process of the Taoli Banquet is the Imperial Academy. Even if the chef saves the ingredients, he cannot take them away. Eat them secretly? It’s impossible, who has such a big belly!
But at this moment, he couldn't send someone to ask about the kitchen in front of everyone. Isn't that obvious that something was wrong? Isn't there no silver here?
Seeing that Hu Li's face was not good, He Lang thought he didn't like Zhou people, so he deliberately deducted the dishes. He stood up and toasted a glass of wine to the students to liven up the atmosphere. They were the protagonists of today's peach and plum banquet. Then he toasted a glass of wine to show respect.
The students were a little restrained, but the protagonist Dong Shumin, the protagonist in the protagonist, held back her laughter and turned her head to look at the kitchen hidden by trees.
She knew that only a big bucket of trust could do the feat of sweeping forty-eight dishes in just ten minutes of the official's speech. What about people?
The fun of drinking and having fun lasted only half a minute, and the Langzhong Su, who was on the table, started to make a fuss again.
"Hey, the sweet and sour carp has its tail removed, is it just to make it taste good?"
This is not as self-justified as salt-baked chicken. The Imperial Heavenly Prison Junwailang hesitates.
"Brother Tai Mingjian, right, right..."
Doctor Su said again:
"Hahaha, braised meat is gone, and there is only a plate of sauce and peppers, ginger, garlic, scallion, star anise, bay leaves... It looks quite like a dish I ate at the State Guesthouse at noon, braised pork."
Yuanwailang said embarrassedly:
"There are still a few pieces of meat, so much, not much..."
Wang Duan, the Minister of Rites of Zhou State, coughed heavily and said, "Dr. Su, don't be rude!"
Doctor Su simply put down his chopsticks, stood up and bowed, and said aloud:
"I told you that it's not that you are rude, but that the Chinese country is too rude. Chicken lacks legs, fish has no tails, braised meat... I'm just talking about a secret cooking method, it's okay. I thought the Imperial Heavenly Prison would not dare to serve leftover dishes at the state banquet. However, no dish can cover the plate, and it's like a famine, and it's all done with two or three chopsticks. It means that they don't take these students who are about to enter our Zhou Dynasty practice seriously, which makes people angry."
These words are really cunning and vicious.
It was obviously looking for trouble, but it seemed to stand up for the wrong. It not only derogatory to China, but also provoked the relationship between the other party and his children, cleverly connecting these students with the Zhou Kingdom.
It is clear that this guy is just a singer.
Zhou Hai, the eldest prince of Zhou, was repaired in the Chenghuang Temple ring, and his face was lost. If the accompanying team did not regain his face, the consequences would be very serious. What's more, the Chinese people's ambitions were greatly increased.
The one who rode a white crane to fly to Baisha City is one of the ten elders of the Xiaoshui Sword Sect, the national teacher of Zhou State, and Zhou Hai's grandfather Zhou Wuyang.
Among the ten elders, the Zhou Kingdom occupied seven, five of which, together with the head of Danqiu Sheng, were from the Zhou royal family. Why did you always want the Zhou Kingdom to be dismantled Zeng and Hua? Because the former was a territory created by your own family, and the two countries were conquered later.
But the Xiaoshui Sword Sect is a born sect of cultivation after all, and is not completely equivalent to the Zhou Kingdom and the Zhou tribe. If Danqiu came, he would definitely restrain the Zhou Kingdom delegation as soon as possible and protect Dong Shumin.
But Zhou Wuyang had short-sighted eyes and was extremely protective of his shortcomings. The first thing he considered was the interests of Zhou. After receiving the incense, he rushed over to find out the truth about the golden arhat and heal Zhou Hai. He learned about the matter of the spiritual roots on that day, but he deliberately suppressed it. Even Qingfeng Temple had posted an admission list to show it, and he had not been sent back to the Xiaoshui Sword Sect for a long time.
Therefore, the conspiracy against Dong Shumin at the Taoli Banquet was carried out after careful planning.
It happened that the Chinese themselves had problems, and the dishes were short of weight. This allowed the Zhou people to easily find a breakthrough and kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, they didn't expect someone to steal food. They really thought that the Imperial Heaven Supervision was deliberately ridiculing and making things difficult for their own people.
