No correction

When everyone saw Young Master Jiu coming in, their expressions were different. Gongsun Xipeng looked at him carefully, Gao Zi and Guo Zi showed disdain, Bao Shuya and Guan Yiwu tried to be calm, and Zhao Hu looked concerned.

Sitting at the top, Qihou saw everyone's expressions in his eyes. He just chuckled and didn't say much. He raised his black sleeve robe, put on a very kind expression, and said, "Second brother, please get up." .”

He said, and said loudly: "Set up a banquet for the second brother."

As soon as Qihou's words fell, several eunuchs and maids stepped in one after another, quickly set up a new seat at the bottom, set up a wine table, and served delicious food and wine.

Young Master Jiu declined, but sat down anyway.

Qihou said with a smile: "Second Brother, what is the name of this Tiqi, so sweet and refreshing?"

Qihou asked the young master to correct this question in front of everyone. Many people thought it was a kind of ridicule. Anyway, Gao Zi and Guo Zi, who are nobles, thought so.

Although Gongsun Xipeng is good at words, he is quite honest. He just drank it and felt that this tiqi was delicious, but he really didn't know what it was called.

Zhao Hu's face was ugly, but Wu Jiu's face was calm, and he said softly, "Return to Your Majesty, this is not Ti Qi."

Qihou smiled and said, "Oh? It's not Tiqi, what is that?"

Wu Jiao said calmly: "This is a new wine developed by Jiu, called ebony wine."

In fact, what Wu Jiao made was ebony soup. The alcohol content in this era was very low, and it tasted a little sweet, almost like a drink. Wu Jiao made a ebony soup and added some wine primers to it.

The taste of the ebony boiled is sweet and refreshing, coupled with the mellow aroma of the wine, the taste is naturally different, coupled with the color of the ebony itself, it is brewed with a light red color, and a light amber color is revealed in the sun. The feeling is also very pleasing to the eye.

But Wu Jiu’s ebony soup is not the kind of ebony soup that is usually boiled at home. There are many tricks in it. In addition to the different methods and time of washing the ebony plums, it takes several hours to cook. After boiling, stone honey is added. At the same time, a kind of spice was added, which was not used in this era.

This spice can get rid of the earthy smell of ebony itself and make ebony sweeter... that is sandalwood powder.

Everyone didn't know the process, but they just thought it was delicious, better than any alcoholic drink they had ever had before. Just a mere glass of wine is enough to make people want to put it down.

Qi Hou listened and said with a smile: "What a ebony wine, the wine made by the second brother is different from the wine made by others."

Zhao Hu secretly glared at Qi Hou angrily, but Qi Hou saw it, but he smiled in his heart, and didn't make any trouble. After all, Qi Hou wanted to change the tragic end of his life, so naturally he had to start with Zhao Hu. rise.

Qihou said with a smile: "With such good wine as a company, let's start the feast."

As soon as Marquis Qi finished speaking, the eunuchs and maids began to get busy again. Several people rushed in from outside, holding various bronze utensils in their hands. They were all well-trained in their movements, and put the dishes on the table quickly.

As soon as those eunuchs came in, all the people present smelled an indescribable fragrance. The fragrance was mellow and long-lasting, with an aroma that stimulated the taste buds. I couldn't tell what it was, but it made people move their index fingers .

Even Gao Zi and Guo Zi, the two supervisors of the state, couldn't help looking at the tableware held in the hands of the eunuch.

In the Spring and Autumn period, the meal system was still divided, each person had a small table, and each person had a portion of food. According to the different levels, each person's food was also different.

Naturally, Marquis Qi had the most food on the table. After all, he was the leader of the state of Qi, and there were about five extra dishes. However, what is surprising is that the dishes on the other people's tables were all exactly the same, even Guan Yiwu and Zhao Hu. The dishes on the table were the same as everyone else's.

Everyone was surprised for a while, Qi Hou saw the surprised look in their eyes, he couldn't help laughing, a little proud, Qi Hou knew that these people must not understand his temper.

However, when Qihou was proud, his eyes fell on Wu Jiu who was sitting last. Wu Jiu still had a calm expression, as if nothing could arouse his interest, and he sat peacefully. In the last seat, not only that, but also bowed his head, looking responsible and interesting.

Qi Hou couldn't help squinting his eyes, and said with a smile: "No one knows these dishes, so it must be from the hands of the second brother again?"

Wu Jiu immediately stood up and replied respectfully, "Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed what Jiu did."

Qihou said with a smile: "Oh? So...then I will trouble my second brother to help you meritorious officials and report the names of the dishes?"

Wu Jiu didn't refuse, and there was no angry look on his face, as if it was just a very common thing. Other people who watched looked sideways. Gongsun Xipeng first showed an expression of admiration, and even Gao Zi and Guo Zi were also shocked. Wu Jiu's calm expression shocked him.

Bao Shuya was secretly amazed, stroked his beard on his chest, thinking that the second young master would hesitate to transform into a moth in such a catastrophe, it is really rare.

Wu Jiao said respectfully: "These dishes on the table, in order, are... One Pin Tianxiang, Double Mixed Square Broken Cake, Three Shredded Fish Maw, Four Lucky Bags, Five Grain Harvest, Six Flavored Mirage, Seven Stars Arching the Moon, Eight Treasures Brocade Rice, Nine Harmonies, Perfect and Ten Perfect, Hundred Birds Chaofeng Cake, Ruixue Millefeuille, Longevity Fresh Fruit Cup, Jinyu Mantang, Longevity Porridge."

Wu Jiu said it in one breath, and everyone was confused when they heard it, but everyone found out that from the back of the Bainiao Chaofeng Cake to the last longevity porridge, there was nothing on other people's tables. It is considered that there is a difference between the monarch and his ministers, and everything is done seamlessly.

Qihou heard the names of these dishes, auspicious and festive, all good luck, and said: "Second brother has a heart."

Wu Jiu said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for defeating the Lu army."

Qihou smiled, looked at the delicious dishes on the table, full of dishes, fixed his eyes on the second dish, and said with a smile: "The name of this dish is also interesting, Brobing? "

As soon as Wu Jiu heard it, he knew that Marquis Qi was going to find fault, but it didn't bother him, instead he said naturally: "Your Majesty doesn't know, there are some small stories in it."

Qihou said: "Second brother, why don't you tell me?"

Wu Jiu said: "Back to your lord, I heard that carp jumping over the dragon gate, after crossing the dragon gate, the tail of the carp must be burnt in the fire of heaven before it can turn into a real dragon. .”

When Qihou said this, his body shook suddenly, breaking the old and establishing the new, and he actually said it directly to his heart.

Qi Hou couldn't help but look at Wu Jiu twice, always felt that since the two escaped from Qi State and parted ways, Qi Hou didn't recognize the second brother in front of him very much.

In Qihou's eyes, his second brother was just a clever, arrogant and courageous person, but now, Young Master Jiu was standing in front of him, and Qihou keenly discovered that this person was different, he was not just clever , and extremely intelligent, not only not arrogant, but also very humble and polite, speaking and doing things, polite and neither humble nor overbearing, and watertight, and the most frightening thing is that he still has the courage to face his own troubles, this person actually answered in an orderly manner, and What I said was very satisfying and useful.

There is no one who does not like praise and flattery. Wu Jiu compared Qihou, who had just ascended the throne, to a carp that crossed the dragon gate and turned into a dragon. Qihou was full of emotions in his heart, he was finally not that carp who was bullied by others, but a real dragon entrenched in the sky.

Qihou thought a lot in his heart, finally he laughed and said: "Second brother has a heart, please sit down."

After Wu Jiu thanked him and sat down again, Marquis Qi raised his glass again and said with a smile: "This cup, I respect this hard-won delicacy..."

As he spoke, he rushed his wine glass towards Wu Jiu, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I also respect Gu's second brother."

All the ministers raised their glasses immediately, echoed one after another, and said, "Respect Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Wu Jiu just raised his glass in return, and his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, saying: "Respect Your Majesty."

Not to mention Guan Yiwu and Zhaohu, even Bao Shuya, who is the master of Qihou, has several knots in his heart at this time, and he really doesn't know what the king means.

After everyone toasted, Qi Hou ordered the banquet to open, and everyone began to enjoy the delicious food. In this era, there are already ivory chopsticks and daggers that look like spoons, but most of the meals are eaten directly with hands, and the dishes are easier to grasp.

At this time, the aristocrats had a rule, that is, they must play with music when eating, and soon many wine girls entered, holding wine utensils and preparing to pour wine, musicians and dancers also came in to offer music and dance, a scene of singing and dancing.

Everyone lowered their heads and ate their meals peacefully. After eating two mouthfuls, Qihou wiped his hands with a handkerchief, picked up the wine glass, swirled the amber-colored ebony wine inside, and said with a smile: "Zhu Qing, Gu has just succeeded to the throne. The great unification of Qi State now has two things to do, one is to bury the ancestor..."

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. Both Zhu'er and Gongsun Wuzhi were short-lived Marquises of Qi. Gongsun Wuzhi rebelled and beheaded Zhu'er. It is definitely not to admit that Gongsun is ignorant, but there is a problem, that is, Zhuer has not been buried. It has been more than a year, and the corpse has been disposed of in a hurry, not treated according to the courtesy of the king.

Since Marquis Qi is the orthodox successor, he should bury his ancestors generously and express his respect. There is also a saying in front of the people.

Qi Hou paused, and then said: "The second thing is...Falu."

Everyone was shocked immediately, and looked at Marquis Qi, then at Wu Jiu, and then at Marquis Qi. For a while, the heads of the literati and bureaucrats seemed to be like rattles, and they couldn't understand what Marquis Qi meant.

The State of Lu is the grandma’s home of Young Master Jiu. When Young Master Jiu fled, Duke Lu took Young Master Jiu in. Although Duke Lu was also greedy and had selfish motives, he would take the initiative to kill Jiu when Shi Shui was defeated. He has a close relationship with Gongzi Jiu.

But Qi Hou said it in front of Wu Jiu, isn't he afraid that Young Master Jiu will tip off the news?People really don't know what the intention is.

Qi Hou looked at the faces of the people, and chuckled in his heart. After the Qi army's Shishui victory, Qi's morale was greatly improved, and they fought against the Lu army in Changshao. However, this battle was once again famous. Less wins more battles - the battle of the long spoons!

The Duke of Lu used Cao GUI a lot, and the allusion of "go all out" starts from here. Cao GUI beat the Qi army to the ground and fled without face.

Qi Hou is a person who has experienced it all his life. He understands the shame of this battle, so in fact, this time, he didn't want to fight at all. He just talked about it temporarily to see Wu Jiu's reaction.

However, Qi Hou didn't know that the young master Jiu in front of him had already changed his "core". In his heart, any grandma's house was just passing by, and Wu Jiu didn't plan to overthrow Qi Hou. You can just live.

What's more, Marquis Qi never imagined that Wu Jiu actually knew about this famous battle of long spoons in one go...
