Seeing that the meal was not going to be enjoyable, the tenth brother said: "Brother Ninth, prepare to eat, be careful to cool it down." He remembered that Brother Ninth said that he would eat shrimps for lunch, and that the cold ones took away the fishy smell.
Brother Jiu immediately ordered He Yuzhu to serve food.
Although there were two more "uninvited guests" today, every time Shu Shu asked someone to deliver food, there was plenty of food, and plenty of bowls and chopsticks.
Brother Fourteen was no longer in the mood to argue. He went over to watch He Yuzhu open the food box. When the food box was opened, he noticed something different.
"Is this insulated?"
The fourteenth elder brother turned his head, looked at the ninth elder brother, and asked.
Brother Jiu said with a bit of pride: "Hey, aren't you afraid that the food will get cold? Your sister-in-law had some food boxes remodeled a while ago."
A cotton lining is added inside, and the outside of the cotton lining is also covered with cowhide, making the food box extremely sealed.
Not to mention the three-mile stretch from Di'anmen Street to Xihuamen, it takes a quarter of an hour to load the food, but the food inside is still warm and the meat oil will not solidify.
Therefore, now that the lid of the meal has been opened and placed, it still looks piping hot and fills the room with aroma.
Among them, there are two dishes of sea white shrimp, one is the dry pot shrimp with cucumber strips mentioned by Brother Jiu, and the other is the steamed open-back shrimp with garlic paste.
There are two courses of yellow croaker, one is boiled fish, and the other is braised fish in sauce. There are two courses of conch, one is spicy conch slices, and the other is conch meat fried with leeks.
There are two dishes of clams, one is clams and eggs, and the other is clams and winter melon soup.
There are two courses of sea oysters, one is oyster omelet and one is garlic oysters. There are two courses of hairtail, one is dry-fried hairtail and the other is smoked hairtail.
There are two dishes of conger eel, one is charcoal grilled eel and the other is steamed eel with soy sauce.
There are also four side dishes of cold jellyfish, cold scallop meat, boiled octopus, and cold kelp sprouts, as well as a seafood porridge.
A dish of steamed mackerel dumplings.
One dish of seafood risotto and one dish of shrimp pot stickers.
They were laid out one after another, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Eating seafood is not popular in the capital. Except for fish and shrimp, which are common and eaten in different ways, most of the dishes here have never been eaten before.
Under the dry pot shrimp and charcoal grilled eel, there is also a small charcoal stove to keep the dishes from getting cold when lit.
Brother Jiu said proudly: "It's not a rare thing. Some of it is cheaper than pork. I just want to change it and try it occasionally."
The third elder brother was vaguely disappointed.
Compared with pork and mutton, fish and shrimp look plain.
Although this processing method seems to be thick and oily, but fish is fish, how can it be as delicious as meat? This is fancy and more like watching a dish.
The fourteenth elder brother swallowed his saliva. Seeing the third elder brother not moving his chopsticks, he urged: "Third elder brother, hurry up. It will be cold for a while. Then the third elder brother picked up his chopsticks, hesitated, and took the first bite of grilled conger eel."
went.
The outside of this one is brushed with sauce, and it looks oily. It doesn't seem that plain.
When I entered the mouth, Brother San felt something was wrong. It was too fragrant. When I ate it, I felt like I had eaten half a mouthful of oil. The eel spines should have been picked out. It tasted just right and there was no need to pick the spines.
Others also started.
Brother Jiu directly picked up a cucumber strip from the dry pot shrimp. The skin was removed and it became more tender. The fruit was raw before being cooked, so it can be eaten immediately after being heated. It has a taste of green bamboo shoots, which is better than that of green bamboo shoots.
Shrimp meat is more delicious.
He mentioned this dish to Shu Shu just for this bite of cucumber. Others were already devouring it.
The third elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother all chose the red and bright ones to eat first. Most of them were spicy, which made them appetizing.
The fourth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother always had a light diet, so they started eating from side dishes, and gradually they became a little faster with chopsticks.
After tasting a round of dishes, and then the porridge, rice, pot stickers and dumplings, Brother Fourteen made his own choice. The eel was delicious, as was the hairtail and yellow croaker, but the others were worse.
Third brother also thinks eel is good, followed by garlic oysters.
Brother Jiu ate two cucumber strips, two open-backed shrimps, one chopstick of conch slices, and one chopstick of kelp seedlings, which was pretty much it.
Seeing that everyone had also slowed down, the ninth elder brother asked the tenth elder brother: "There are two lawsuits in the morning. What about the last one? What is Longkodo's father-in-law suing? Are you suing Longkodo for abducting people from the household?"
The case of Jueluo Jinshan still makes people sigh and sympathize. This Longkodo's father-in-law seems ridiculous.
His maid and concubine had been Long Keduo's foreign residence for several years, and she was raised openly and openly on the other side of Shichahai, not far from the Hesheli family's house.
You pretended to be blind a few years ago, and now you are jumping out to use this matter to make trouble? This bastard hat is worn very tightly.
The tenth elder brother swallowed all the food in his mouth and said: "I accused Longkodo of being "unfaithful" and abducting his concubine's aunt. He also accused Longkodo of alienating human flesh and blood and falsely claiming the flesh and blood of the Hesheli family born to the Li family.
Registered in the Tong family!"
Brother Jiu remembered that the concubine raised by Jue Luo was actually a flesh and blood of the Hesheli family?
He remembered clearly that he, Fujin, even praised the child a few times, saying that he was good-looking and well-educated, but it was a pity that he was born in a poor family.
The fourteenth elder brother asked directly: "What do you mean? When Long Keduo robbed his uncle's little wife, the little wife kicked the child in her belly?"
The third elder brother also thought it was ridiculous and said: "No, no matter how capable Long Ke is, the old man and the old lady will not agree! If the bloodline is unknown, then Mrs. Tong will go to all the trouble to hire a Jueluo girl to go back to that
Child as foster mother?
Love the house and the bird, there is no love like this.
The fourth elder brother did not say anything, but he knew that Longkodo's uncle dared to mention this, and the child's date of birth was vague and difficult to tell clearly.
Otherwise, if you conceive in ten months, there is a deadline, and it will not matter whose bloodline the child comes from. The thirteenth elder brother said: "If you pretend to be a child, it will be a serious crime."
The fourteenth elder brother was surprised and said: "Then Li Si'er is so beautiful that he becomes a fairy? How much does Long Keduo love the house and the bird so much that even the little one is reluctant to give it back to his uncle?"
Brother Si felt a little disgusted. This was unethical.
If that child is really a bloodline of the Hesheli family, she is Mrs. Longkodo's biological sister and Longkodo's biological cousin. Is it "love the house and the bird" to treat the cousin as a concubine?
This is inhumane!
The twelfth elder brother lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Longkodo robbed his uncle and father-in-law's maids and concubines, and it wasn't just a day or two, and he didn't hide it from anyone. Did the emperor really not know about this?
The emperor respected etiquette, so how could he turn a blind eye to something that was against etiquette?
It can be seen that in the heart of the emperor, etiquette is not that important.
We also need to divide people and divide the royal family's holy family.
There are also imperial censors. Aren't they impeaching even the bachelors? Ninth Brother arrived late and left early several times, and he was impeached by them.
But how come Longkodo, who has such bad personal ethics and bad records, silenced his voice? The twelfth prince had many doubts and felt that the world was in chaos.
The thirteenth elder brother also thought of Longkodo's reputation and said: "This matter has a greater impact than the chaos in the inner house. No matter whether the child is from the Hesheli family or the Tong family, Longkodo is unfilial."
Manchus value in-laws, and uncles are the most important.
If it was the father-in-law's concubine that was being robbed, although it wouldn't sound good, it would be more like a romantic lawsuit; but it was still an uncle, so it was different.
A concubine is also an aunt, so Longkodo's move is against the will of heaven and earth.
Brother Jiu said: "This is "breaking the drum and beating it with thousands of people", right? I guess there will be complaints from the Zongren Mansion in the next two days...
Speaking of this, he thought of the Dong family and said: "Is there no movement in the Dong family? Longkodo used his power to occupy the official house where his family has lived for several generations, and he kicked him out..."
Brother Ten shook his head and said, "No, I probably won't show up."
Brother Jiu frowned with dissatisfaction and said: "Isn't the dressing rampage rampant? Why are you becoming more honest now? Really, are they more afraid of their relatives than the princes?"
The third elder brother said: "If it's not the same weight, there's nothing fair or unfair. The wrapping is just like that, it's just a fierce look but a soft heart."
The most important thing is that Baoyi has been dealt with several times in the past two years. Two or three of the family members have been destroyed, and the whole family has been destroyed like the Fucha family. Who dares to pick them out at random?
No matter how miserable the Tong family is, they are still the emperor's maternal family. They are the emperor's servants, and they dare not offend their dignity by being humble.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "They are just chicken thieves, so they should wait for news from Qianqing Palace. Unless Khan Ama punishes Longkoduo, they will throw stones secretly."
The fourteenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, if you are vague about those days, do you have to shed blood to recognize your relatives?"
Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "Maybe, but it may not be accurate. Longkodo also has the blood of the Hesheli family, and his uncle and nephew also have the same blood."
The fourteenth elder brother asked curiously: "What should I do if I can't tell the difference? Is it the princess of the Hesheli family or the princess of the Tong family?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I don't know, it depends on how the Tong family arranges it."
As for Longkodo and Li Si'er, there are more and more accusations at the moment, and they may not be able to escape. Even if they don't die, they will most likely be whipped and sent to Ning Guta.
At that time, it will be up to Mrs. Longkodo to decide what to do with little Princess, whether she will be raised in the Tong family or sent back to the Hesheli family.
With these two pieces of gossip, everyone had lunch.
Although today's food is better than yesterday's, there are two more people, so we only eat a disc.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers had classes in the afternoon, so they put down their chopsticks and left in a hurry when the time was about the same. The fourth elder brother also heard about the same thing and had no further questions to ask alone, so he came out too.
Here, the tenth elder brother made an appointment with the ninth elder brother to leave the Yamen, and then left with the fourth elder brother.
The room on duty was filled with the smell of food. Brother Jiu was disgusted and told He Yuzhu, "Hurry up and open the window to let out the smell. It's going to kill you."
He Yuzhu started to open the window and said with a smile: "It smells delicious. This spicy smell is addictive. I will be greedy if I don't eat for a few days." Hearing this, Brother Jiu said: "Didn't I harvest a lot of peppers this year? You can eat them if you want.
.”
The peppers produced in our own farm are not that expensive. Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns are a little more expensive, but they are acceptable.
He Yuzhu responded: "That night, I will add boiled pork slices. That one is delicious. It will be delicious with any dish placed underneath. It can be served with rice..."
"Go out!"
Brother Jiu glanced at He Yuzhu with disgust and said: "There are seafood, I will give you a plate of shrimps and a plate of fish, and have a good drink with Shuda in the evening. Shuda has rheumatism and drinks medicinal wine. Come and see
Let’s see how many people there are. If they are about the same, I’ll ask someone to match me..."
