Chapter Ten
The man in the civilian narrowed his drunken eyes and looked at Qin Lei without saying a word. Qin Lei said hello to him, but he just nodded slightly, saying hello, and then held the wine pot and ignored him.
Tie Ying followed the table angrily, looked at Qin Lei, and then quickly moved away. Both of them looked strange. It was obvious that the master and servant had become dirty because of what happened just now.
Seeing that Qin Lei was so timid and afraid, Shangguan Yunhe ignored his identity and sat with the common people. He couldn't help but despise him slightly and no longer mentioned the matter of punishing him for three drinks. The guests couldn't figure out what the Prime Minister meant and ignored Qin Lei for a while.
———————————————
Qi State is located in the eastern part of China. Since ancient times, it has been the top and prosperous place in China. The country pursues luxury and enjoys it naturally. The people of Qi are proud of tasting delicious food. If they taste the eight treasures, they will often celebrate and write articles to chant it. There are also food masters who call themselves Taotieke. In Qi State, they can be called the "Four Great Masters" together with the martial arts masters, the calligraphy master Yan Xingxi, and the Confucian and Taoist masters Kong Jingwen.
The banquet at the Prime Minister's Office of Qi State can also be ranked among the top in Qi State. Qin Lei and Tieying have never seen so many art-like delicacies. They stared at the plates of dishes and didn't dare to put on chopsticks. This time they were not pretending.
The man who was drinking fell into his spirit and spontaneously introduced it. He had just drunk it and the dishes on the table remained intact. He pointed to a dish carved into the spring river moonlit night and said, "This is the 'Baibo Lamb Sausage of King Wucheng of Northern Qi', which is a top-quality lamb, a fine yellow river carp chopped and rolled cake, and was made with golden and jade chestnut noodles. It is named after the made by the Northern Qi Wucheng Palace. Don't be stupid, it's this big scary moon." Qin Lei and the other two were cruelly poking out the chopsticks. When the moon's skin was broken, the rich and fresh fragrance came to their noses. After tasting it, it was soft and refreshing, smooth and not greasy. When they were eaten, they were endless aftertaste and were completely selfless. Then they lowered the chopsticks as if they were flying, showing their usual hard practice.
Seeing that the two hungry ghosts were reincarnated, the man also felt appetite and stretched out his chopsticks to fight with them, but he was not at a disadvantage. In the blink of an eye, the plate was empty. The man picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, shook his head and said regretfully: "The chef of the Prime Minister's House did not get the true meaning of this dish. He used too many ingredients and ruined many precious ingredients in vain. Don't you know that fish and sheep are fresh, like the daughter next door, who will be fat if you add one point, and lose one point, you will be thin if you lose one point."
The guests at the table next to him kept paying attention to the movements of the table, and heard this and mocked him: "Qiufeng Guests are used to being mysterious, and eating for nothing is so troublesome."
The man in a common man's face turned red and he argued: "How do you think of eating a meal today? The Prime Minister said he would say goodbye to me!"
"That's the Prime Minister who drove you away..." The evil guest imitated his tone.
"It's clear that I'm going to say goodbye first." Qin Lei noticed that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking.
"That's why you, Lord Qiu Fengke, can't beat Qiu Feng anymore." The guests were very happy that someone could argue with them to show that they were eloquent and quick-witted. It would be even better if they were lucky enough to be favored by the Prime Minister.
Although Qin Lei made up his mind to pretend to be stupid, he did not think that his own people were bullied the most, although he still didn't know who the man in a common man was named. He slapped his forehead and said to Tieying: "Oh, it turns out that we still have to pay for our meals. Who, did we pay for that?"
Tieying replied in a humming voice: "No, but it's okay, I haven't paid the whole room."
"Isn't that just eating the whole house for nothing?" Qin Lei said in panic.
"No, the whole room is full of food." Tieying said angrily. The so-called "Hei" who is close to the ink, lived with Qin Lei for more than a month, Tieying learned a lot of bad things.
The guest next to him realized after a while. Seeing the dumb look of the master and servant, it was mostly heartless. If it happened, it would be an idiot. It would be better to pretend not to know, and expose the matter, and angrily suffer the loss of this mute, comfort yourself and not to care about the same thing as the mute.
The master and servant were secretly happy, and then asked the common man for the dishes. When the common man saw that they were venting their anger for him, he was secretly grateful and worked hard to get some royal and princely dishes such as "Duke Yue broke the golden cauldron", "Duke Yu Duke Xing Xing Sao", "Duke Cheng Mei Duke hides crabs", "Hanchun Hou Xingong Yuehua Rice" and other royal drinks, from ingredients to cooking, feeling the artistic conception from the mouth, quoting the classics, the vast sky, and hearing the two people's eyes glowed green and their index fingers moved. Often, after a dish was finished, the three people were eaten up in less than a few breaths.
~~~~~~
The three of them ate happily, and their eating habits were naturally indecent. Prime Minister Shangguan, who was on the chairman in the distance, was naturally displeased. He didn't know the arguments between the two seats just now, so of course the people on the table would not be so stupid that they took out their embarrassing things, as if Qin Lei had escaped.
Prime Minister Shangguan cleared his throat, and the noisy hall suddenly calmed down. He raised his glass and said to the last seat from afar: "I will meet Mr. Guantao today. I don't know when I will see you."
Qin Lei initially thought that Shangguan Laoer was talking to him and was about to raise his glass, but who thought that the person next to him was the one who was taking care of him. He couldn't help but blush, put down the glass embarrassedly, scratched his head.
Tieying looked at it and admired her. Her highness's acting skills are so amazing. It's too real and natural. In His Highness's words, it's "kill-to-kill level".
He would never know that the fifth prince he admired did not act just now, but just made a mistake.
~~~~~~~~
The common man known as Mr. Guantao stood up and raised his glass and said, "Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness."
After drinking a cup, the high-ranking prime minister asked bitterly: "Can you change your mind sir?"
The common man shook his head firmly and said, "The intention to leave is decided." Qin Lei heard a slight scent.
"What if I am waiting for you?" The old man said nothing but shockingly. He is the left prime minister. What is the right prime minister? The right prime minister has 60 million people and the vice premier of the State Council of Qi, which has 20,000 miles of mountains and rivers.
The room is quiet, and the needles can be heard.
One by one, the nobles, swallowed their saliva, stared at the lucky ones who were lucky in jealousy, with fierce eyes, as if as soon as he nodded and agreed, he was about to pounce on them together and tear the newly released deputy prime minister to pieces!
The air was frozen, and everyone was waiting for the man's answer, and Qin Lei was no exception.
Mr. Guantao could no longer remain calm. After pondering for a while, he finally broke the suffocating silence: "Meng Prime Minister was wrongly in love, but the grass people were discouraged. He only wanted to forget each other in the world, express his feelings in the mountains and rivers, admire the beautiful scenery of China, taste the delicious food in the world, and no longer bow to these five dou of rice."
Everyone sighed.
Prime Minister Shangguan's expression did not change much. He pondered for a moment, and laughed: "It seems that the people in the world have no blessings to receive great talent. After drinking this cup, we have ended our fate." He drank it all.
