Classic Villain Rescue Station

Luo Wei mingled among the endless stream of servants, picking out hard-core food that was easy to get his hands on.These arty rich people in ancient and modern China and abroad are unavoidable to avoid the same stink problem. It is a particular thing to eat and put on a plate. The prerequisite for being particular about it is that the actual edible content in a serving of food is quite limited.

Luo Wei tried his best to pick out food with dry food function. After running seven or eight round trips, he was half full because it was too inconvenient to damage the art of plate presentation.At the same time, he also heard a few ears about the situation of this night banquet. It turned out that the owner had raised several pots of precious epiphyllum, which were expected to bloom tonight, so he held this night banquet temporarily. Most of the people who came to the appointment were the top officials, dignitaries, celebrities and gentry in Jiangzhou City, and even the worst ones were talented scholars and beauties with great reputation.

In order to guard the short-lived process, there is a special banquet, the expensive circle is really idle!Luo Wei grumbled in his heart after solving the problem of a large amount of water in his body, he washed his face by the way, and rinsed away the oil stains left on his mouth from eating a shortbread filled with meat just now. When he exited the area, he was bumped into the back by a middle-aged man who was only as tall as his shoulders, with a round face, round hair, and round eyes. Anyway, the overall feeling is that there are round people everywhere. .

Luo Wei has met this person before. He is Wang Tong, the steward who is in charge of the management of the big kitchen. He is a representative of the hard-working group in the management. The two big baskets folded up in his arms blocked his view, which caused a rear-end accident, and the citrus in the baskets rolled to the ground.

What can Luo Wei do? Although theoretically it should be the full responsibility of the party that caused the rear-end collision, isn't he guilty? Helping in the pursuit of oranges is a duty-bound thing.It was so easy to tidy up, Wang Tong also handed over a basket to Luo Wei, asking him to help carry it, and the two of them headed back and forth to the big kitchen.

The servant's hut is naturally far and remote, and there is nothing to do on the road, Wang Tong said: "Which little steward are you under, why haven't I seen you before?"

Luo Wei paused when he heard the words, and looked at the mask on his arm. Damn it, he forgot to wear the mask. He was in a panic, but Wang Tong didn't seem to listen to his answer, and continued to speak on his own: "Although I haven't seen you, you look very familiar. Don't remind me, let me think about it... By the way, my brain, you and the new clever little gardener, by the way , the boy named Leng Han looks a lot like him." At this point, he stopped and turned around, looking at Luo Wei up and down, "That's right, it's really similar. That kid mentioned it before. , Said that there is a child in his second uncle's family who is about to enter the mansion to take care of him, so it's you!"

Luo Wei would like to ask: Is labor and capital the face of the public?Just opening his mouth turned into: "That's right, Leng Han is my cousin, my name is Leng Lie, and my cousin often mentions to me that you are in charge of Wang!"

Wang Tong scolded with a smile: "That boy Leng Han probably spoke ill of me, because he is too diligent, even when he is resting, he often takes care of the flowers and trees in the garden, and I often ask him to help other things." He took a step forward and reminded him as he walked, "Don't forget to wear a face towel when serving meals. If the master and other stewards find out, they will have to hang up."

Luo Wei nodded one after another "hmmm", took the opportunity to free up a hand, and quickly put on the mask.

Luo Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending Wangtong and Tangerines to the courtyard of the big kitchen. He didn't care about picking fat and picking thin ones. He casually took a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine surrounded by a "sea of ​​flowers" from the servant who packed the drinks. Go straight ahead.

After pouring a round of wine, he returned with an empty jug. Unexpectedly, the busy manager Wang Tong was still at the big kitchen, and he was reprimanding the eight servants who were seven tall and one short.Luo Wei tried to walk close to the side to reduce his sense of presence, but he was still spotted by the sharp-eyed Wang Tong. His eyes lit up and his fingers connected between Luo Wei and the short man in the group of eight servants: "You came over to take his place."

It wasn't until Luo Wei stood in the group of eight that he realized that the eight of them were assigned to carry a big dish—roasted whole lamb.How big a sheep needs to be carried by eight people, what's more, the group of people who went to the banquet in front would want to cut it into eighteen sections, carve a flower on it, divide it into six plates and serve it on the table. Putting a whole sheep up all at once does not conform to their aesthetics at all.

When he was led to the backyard of the big kitchen and saw the freshly baked roasted whole lamb, Luo Wei finally understood why eight people had to carry this dish.In terms of this dish alone, two people are enough. The problem is that the custom-made container for this sheep looks like a combination of a bathtub and a double-layer soap box. The whole body is golden. I don’t know if it is real gold or bronze. There is a flame licking the bottom of the tray gently licking the bottom of the tray. There are large clumps of peonies in relief around the bathtub, and inlaid with red, blue, blue, green and green gems. The browned and tender lamb looked pitiful.

The weight of this thing is really heavy, and it was carried to the most conspicuous position of the banquet, which really attracted the attention of the audience.Surrounded by the crowd, the young woman was highly praised, and Luo Wei learned from the mouths of men and women that the "master" that the servants kept calling was actually the county owner, and that the "master" was pretending to be roasted whole lamb. Yes, the "bathtub" full of the aesthetics of farmhouse music is actually designed by the husband of the county lord to surprise his wife.It's a pity that this talented county matriarch was away on a business trip at the emperor's order, so he couldn't catch up with the first Epiphyllum banquet organized by the county lord's mansion.

To be honest, Luo Wei was stunned by the openness of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning. In modern times, there is nothing wrong with men and women having an all-night party together, but in ancient times, it is true to see men and women gathering together without any taboos. Quite surprising.In view of the fact that the "bathtub" of roasted whole lamb once again set off the atmosphere, the county mistress planned to make trouble as soon as she was happy.

"In ancient times, Cao Zhi made a poem in seven steps. Although all the talented men and beauties present here boast that they dare not compare themselves to Zijian, they are also a generation of romantic figures. The protagonist here is naturally my family's epiphyllum. You may wish to write a poem on the topic of epiphyllum. First, it does not matter whether it is good or bad, as long as it can be recited, the county lord will reward him for eating the whole lamb first, and the roasted whole lamb is paired with the ebony ice wine brewed by my husband, which is praised even today!"

Everyone applauded loudly, but those who are interested in this kind of arty and showing their faces are basically young men and women, and the wives of officials who are a little older don't join in the fun, so Luo Wei listened to a few people who were hanging out on the sidelines. The woman with broken teeth chatted about gossip about Jiangzhou City.The reason why the gossip is gossip is nothing more than the things about Zhang's parents and the Li family, but it is still helpful to understand the situation in the place, until they mentioned the family of Master Chen, the chief official of Jiangzhou.

"Have you heard that Mrs. Chen's wife used to be Miss Yin who was known as the second most beautiful woman in Chang'an."

"Ah, isn't Mr. Chen's Lao Taishan the same Mr. Yin? No wonder."

"No wonder what?"

"Hehe, what I mean is, it's no wonder she didn't come to the banquet. Our county mistress was known as the most beautiful woman in Chang'an back then. Before she got married, she had to bow her head. I didn't expect that she would continue to bow her head when she came to Jiangzhou."

"Mrs. Chen didn't come to the county lord's banquet. How long has Mrs. Chen been in office? The wife of the chief official is very good. She doesn't even step out of the door. She doesn't even hold a banquet to help her husband win over his subordinates. I don't understand, other wives hosted a banquet for her, but she also tried every means to shirk it, I really don't know what it means."

"That's not true. The news from the government office said that Mrs. Chen's health is not good, let alone outsiders, and even his servants rarely see her real self. All the family affairs are left to Nanny and four maids are responsible for taking care of it."

"I heard that Mr. Chen is the champion of a poor family, don't be tricky!"

"Don't talk nonsense. When Mr. Chen came here, I saw them and his wife on the street. I knew at a glance that Mr. Chen loved his wife very much, but this lady really seemed to be in a bad mood. Besides , that Master Yin is a very powerful person, with him staying there for a day, Master Chen would not dare to neglect Madam."

These ladies chattered a lot, and the lady who was pouring her own drink sneered: "She is not in a good mood, Mr. Chen has been in office for about a month, and I have seen Mrs. Chen on the street. She clearly looks like she's pregnant."

"real or fake?"

"Mrs. Han's family has a long history. She said it must be, but how long has it been? Why hasn't there been any good news?"

Mrs. Han continued: "Mrs. Chen was already two months pregnant at the time. I was afraid that she would not find out because she was too young, so I specially reminded her to be careful, but her face changed suddenly."

"No way, according to the time, it should have been produced, why is there no news at all?"

"Sooner or later, this kind of thing is not clear."

Another lady slapped the table: "I remembered, the girl who combed my hair, Xing'er, was released last year to get married. When she came back to pay her respects, she mentioned something, saying that she was the daughter-in-law of the third uncle of her husband's family." The cousin who handed me the handkerchief of my natal brother's daughter said that there was a teacher's daughter in Lijiazhuang who used to do odd jobs in the yamen. In the first few months, he suddenly quit his job in the yamen, and then returned to the village and quickly married a widower with children."

"The point is, the husband and wife have a big fight for some reason. The neighbors have heard a lot, and together they figured out a little bit of the inside story, saying that the chief officer is very dissatisfied with the young master born to his wife. , had a big quarrel with Madam, went out to meet friends and got drunk after coming back, that girl saw a chance, she stepped forward to serve her, and when the adult was drunk, she actually said that the child was not his."
