Datang New Giants

Chapter 86 Celebration Banquet (recommended for collection)
"Is that so, then the king will have to try it out." Li Er said happily.

"It smells so good, is this iron pan cooking?"

"It's just one step later than the prince. I thought where the prince had gone, but it turned out to be here."

"Zhijie always praises how delicious the cooking is, but this time it seems that he didn't praise Haikou."

"Quzi said that Lu Xiaolang-jun is a master at cooking, so I have to try it this time."

"I can smell the fragrance from a distance, haha, it seems that I came here right this time."

As Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde walked into the kitchen one after another, they greeted and saluted Li Er while evaluating, Lu Ting was dumbfounded.

What day is today?It seems that all the cronies of Prince Qin's mansion have come.

Lu Ting asked curiously, "Uncle Cheng, what day is today?"

"Yesterday, Keming received the order to be promoted to be the servant of the household department at the court meeting. Today, I specially celebrated him. I wanted to go to Xiyue Tower to hold a banquet, but Xiyue Tower eats all the same things, so I might as well come to my house. , It’s easy to talk, and you can also try your iron pot cooking.” Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: “I’m still thinking about how to speak, but I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to enter the kitchen. It’s really a tacit understanding.”

This is also called a tacit understanding, think of yourself as a free cook in Cheng's mansion.

Du Ru said to Lu Ting with a dark smile: "Lu Ting, I will come here uninvited, and you will suffer."

To Lu Ting, Du Ruhui was grateful from the bottom of his heart. If Lu Ting hadn't messed with that Tang Pan, he would not have been able to get the hot position of servant of the household department. Now Du Ruhui is pleasing to Lu Ting's opinion.

"Don't dare, Du Shilang will take care of you in the future." Lu Ting quickly saluted.

Fang Mou Du Duan can be called Li Er's right-hand man, the future boss, he also has to hug his thigh.

The ventilation in the kitchen is not very good, the smoke is smoky, Li Er just wiped his eyes, Cheng Yaojin immediately said: "My lord, the dancer in the house has just arranged a new dance, why don't you watch it and enjoy it while waiting for the food to be served?" Bar."

"Okay, enjoy it." Li Er nodded, patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder, and said happily.

Li Ergui is the king of Qin, and he came to the kitchen just on a whim, and he definitely wouldn't stay here for a long time. Lu Ting was speechless when he saw that Cheng Mowang was talking and laughing beside Li Er as docilely as a little sheep.

It was only a tenth of a second away. I just wanted to persuade Li Er not to be in the kitchen. It didn't fit his status. Before I could say it, Cheng Mowang had already said it first.

Rival.

Lu Ting was sweating profusely in the kitchen for nearly half an hour, looking at the dishes on the charcoal grill, he let out a long sigh of relief.

The conditions in Cheng’s mansion are good. I’m afraid that the dishes will be cold in winter, so I made a shelf that can hold charcoal fire, and put charcoal on the bottom. After cooking, put it on the shelf and use charcoal to heat it to ensure that the dishes are still steaming for a period of time.

Youxia chicken, Kung Pao chicken, pine nut fish, stir-fried lamb, garlic cabbage, lettuce stir-fried lamb, Lu Ting spent a lot of effort, and only made six dishes, which seemed not many, but the kitchen The host said that there were as many as four seats for this celebration, and they made 24 dishes in total.

You can't treat one more favorably than another, one table has it, and the other table doesn't.

The celebration banquet is coming soon, so it must be grand. The six dishes made by Lu Ting are just to add to the fun. Lu Ting looked at the dishes made by the chef of the Cheng family and found that there are quite a lot of dishes, including roasted whole lamb, preserved deer, honey Bear's paws in sauce, sea bass, golden custard, roasted donkey's mane hump, etc., as well as various exquisite pastries.

Wealthy families pay attention to meals, and they don’t serve all the dishes at once. They are divided into several batches according to the variety and taste. If one batch is almost eaten or no one uses chopsticks, the next batch will be replaced immediately.

Seeing the delicious food piled up in the kitchen, Lu Ting couldn't help but think of the mixed bean rice he ate. He felt a lot of emotions at the moment. No wonder everyone aspires to become a master. Apart from other things, there is a huge gap in terms of food alone. big.

"Mr. Lu, the banquet will start soon. You are also a distinguished guest of the house. You will attend later. The hot water is ready. Why don't you take a bath and change your clothes first?" The old housekeeper Cheng Zhong walked up to Lu Ting with Said with a smile.

Lang Jun and the three sons had a good impression of Lu Ting. This time, King Qin named Lu Ting to attend the banquet, and Lu Ting's status in the heart of the old housekeeper also increased.

Do you have a share in the celebration banquet?Isn't the character a makeshift cook?
Lu Ting didn't know that Zheng Yuanxuan was not greedy for credit, so he mentioned his own name, thinking that all the credit was due to Zheng Yuanxuan, and his greatest contribution was to persuade Wang Gui to surrender, but this kind of thing was too secretive, and Li Er wanted to reward himself, so he could not Have to sneak in.

After thanking the housekeeper, Lu Ting immediately went back to his room to take a bath and change clothes. It was the first time he participated in such a grand banquet, so he had to be serious. Now that he was sweaty, he needed to wash off.

What a surprise, even if you can't get along in Chang'an, you can bluff a lot of people when you return to Suzhou. At least the second uncle can't point and point at me.

Just a simple wash, when Lu Ting came to the lobby led by the maid, everyone was already seated.

Just when Lu Ting didn't know where to sit, Cheng Yaojin's sharp eyes waved to Lu Ting and said, "Nephew, come here."

That was the main table. Lu Ting walked over with some doubts, and was about to salute when Cheng Yaojin pulled him to sit down: "My lord said, today is a celebration banquet, no matter big or small, as long as you are happy, just salute whenever you want , aren't you tired, sit down."

"Uncle Cheng, it's not appropriate for the younger generation to sit here." Lu Ting said with a guilty conscience.

The main table is indispensable for the host Cheng Yaojin, the protagonist Du Ruhui, the most distinguished Li Er, then the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and the seldom seen Honglu Temple Minister Zheng Yuanxuan, such as Lu Deming and Duan Zhixuan. They are all sitting in the second seat, sitting here in vain, do you have such a big face?

Li Er nodded and said: "This time Keming was able to be promoted to the Minister of the Household Department, thanks to Tang Pan. Tang Pan is a tool you made to assist calculations. You are the first one, so it is only natural to sit here."

Zheng Yuanxuan stood up and bowed to Lu Ting: "Without Mr. Xiaolang's consent, a certain one has offered up the Tang plate. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiaolang."

The famous family is really proud. Although he came from a poor family, he is still white. The people in the Cheng family looked at him high and called "Young Master", but Zheng Yuanxuan stood up to thank him, but he just called "Xiao Langjun", and when he said forgiveness, he looked at the sky. , indicating that he does not recognize his status, and in his eyes, he is just a poor kid with good luck.

As for the fact that he didn't take all the credit for himself, it wasn't that he was high-spirited, but that he cherished his feathers too much and was reluctant to have his reputation damaged a little bit.

The Jiupin Zhongzheng system was discarded in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was abolished directly in the Sui Dynasty, but those famous families still put themselves on top, even though they met for the first time, Lu Ting didn't like this Zheng Yuanxuan.

What's the big deal, you look down on me, and I still look down on you.

Thinking about it, Lu Ting stood up and said respectfully: "Don't dare, I'm not afraid of making jokes when I say it. I owe a lot of favors to Chang'an in order to prepare for the travel expenses. This thing has been given to others. Mr. Zheng is a gentleman, junior Admire me, when it comes to forgiving juniors, I really feel ashamed."

Changsun Wuji clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I've said that the celebration banquet doesn't matter big or small, and both of you are high-spirited and upright. Sit down, sit down."

Cheng Yaojin laughed, picked up a wine glass and said loudly: "That's right, how can there be no wine on such a happy day, my lord, why don't we drink three glasses first, and then talk after drinking three glasses."

Li Er nodded, raised his glass and said, "Zhijie is right, how can there be no wine on such a festive day, everyone here is not an outsider, everything is in the wine, do it!"

"Dry" everyone picked up their glasses one after another, and under the leadership of Li Er, they drank three glasses in a row.

As soon as everyone put down, Du Ruhui and Cheng Yaojin stood up to toast one after another. After three cups were over and three cups were finished, they drank nine cups in a row before they started to eat with chopsticks.

One is the protagonist of the promotion, and the other is the host, who has to give face when toasting.

Wine is the best medium to promote the atmosphere. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the banquet will start to heat up.
