This time, Zhu Pingan asked the greasy fat man to change to a restaurant, Zhuangyuanlou, and order a replica of the Luming Banquet.
There was nothing Zhu Pingan could do about the standard Deer Ming Banquet. It wasn’t that he couldn’t part with money, but he couldn’t buy it even if he had money. Last time, when Zhu Pingan won the imperial examination, he had a Deer Ming Banquet, which included hot and cold dishes.
There are fifty-eight dishes of dessert soup, and many of the dishes cannot be made on the spot and need to be prepared several days in advance. Even the most time-consuming dish called "Honey Pickled Noodles" took up to a hundred days.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an could only treat the greasy fat man to a replica of the deer's roaring banquet.
It is a replica of the Deer Ming Banquet, with as many as eighteen dishes, including venison, carp, turtle and other dishes that symbolize high school.
The greasy fat man was like a glutton at first, and he ate heartily. But after the tea time, the fat man suddenly felt lost, as if something sad in his heart had been triggered, he put down his chopsticks and sighed endlessly.
"Brother Hu, but the food and wine are not to your taste?" Zhu Ping'an asked with concern when he saw the greasy fat man's sudden loss.
"No, no, it's just a matter of emotion."
The greasy fat man sighed, thinking of the sad things, and then looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, he suddenly felt that it didn't taste good.
"I wonder if I can be of any use to you. As long as Brother Hu opens his mouth, I will definitely not refuse."
Zhu Pingan asked.
"Alas, this is my personal battle, no one else can do it." The greasy fat man sighed.
"Oh?" Zhu Pingan looked at the greasy fat man.
"Alas, I have been in school for decades and have taken the provincial examination several times, but I have never been able to taste the Deer Ming Banquet. When I taste this banquet today, I can't help but be filled with emotions..."
When the greasy fat man said this, he couldn't help but become emotional. He raised his head at 45 degrees and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
Zhu Pingan looked at the emotional fat man and couldn't help but sympathize. According to historical records, you will have to take the provincial examination several times, but the result will not change. Sun Shan will still be in front and you will be behind. If history does not change,
, you have been limited to being a scholar all your life, and have no chance of having an authentic deer singing banquet.
"The Deer Ming Banquet is nothing. My young master has even eaten the Qionglin Banquet." Liu Dadao couldn't help but say with pride after hearing the greasy fat man's words.
The Luming Banquet is a celebration banquet for newly promoted candidates, while the Qionglin Banquet is more upscale and is a celebration banquet for newly promoted scholars.
Liu Dadao has followed Zhu Pingan for so long and has gained a lot of experience. He still knows about these two kinds of banquets.
"Ha? Your young master has even eaten the Qionglin Banquet? You are so young..." The greasy fat man couldn't help being shocked after hearing Liu Dadao's words, and his face changed drastically. However, after a few seconds, the greasy fat man smiled again and used chopsticks.
He knocked on the food on the table, twitched the corner of his mouth and said to Liu Dadao, "Yes, yes, families like yours have had many such Luming Banquets and Qionglin Banquets."
The greasy fat man thought that the Qionglin Banquet that Liu Dadao was talking about was the Qionglin Banquet that was modeled after the standard Qionglin Banquet in a restaurant, just like today's Deer Ming Banquet, so he calmed down from his surprise.
For a family like yours, let alone the Qionglin Banquet, even if you eat the Qionglin Banquet every time, you won’t be surprised if you are fat.
At first, the greasy fat man thought Liu Dadao was talking about the authentic Qionglin Banquet, so the greasy fat man was shocked at first. What did you say?! Your young master has eaten the Qionglin Banquet?! Your family
The young master is so young and doesn't even have a weak crown. Not only did he win the imperial examination, but he also won the Jinshi?!
How is it possible? It has been a hundred years since the Ming Dynasty was founded. Those who were admitted to the imperial examination before they were young were all quite young. Those who were admitted to the imperial examination before they were young are even rarer and can be counted on one finger. Oh, yes
Well, last year when Enke was in power, it was only in the hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that there was such a champion who won the first prize in less than a year. What is that called? Zhu Anlai...
There’s no way your young master is him, right?!
Haha! How is it possible! There is no such coincidence in the world. If it is such a coincidence, I will really become a watchdog.
Alas, speaking of the top scholar, I actually took the exam together with him. It was the provincial exam the year before last. I also took part in it at that time. But unfortunately, he became famous in one battle and became a blockbuster. He became the youngest in Nanzhili.
Ju Ren enjoyed the authentic deer-crowing banquet, but he himself was in ruins, nesting in the inn, eating leftovers and listening to others in the inn praising the young man...
"The Deer Ming Banquet...I swear, I must have an authentic Deer Ming Banquet!" The greasy fat man swore fiercely, and then turned his grief into strength, and made a healthy meal of the food on the table.
"I believe Brother Hu." Zhu Pingan nodded and encouraged.
"I believe in your vision." The greasy fat man stretched out his hand and tore off a bad leg, feeling like he was praising Zhu Ping'an.
"You said you were fat and you were out of breath..." Liu Dadao couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing what the fat man said.
"Why, believe it or not, next time in the provincial examination, I will be one of the candidates to show you." The greasy fat man stuffed the leg into his mouth and said to Liu Dadao, setting a flag for himself.
"I don't believe it." Liu Dadao was very embarrassed.
"You! Huh! Remember what I said today. Next time I will win a prize and show it to you. At that time, I tasted the authentic Deer Ming Feast. I will tell you the taste of the Deer Ming Feast dishes in detail.
.”
The greasy fat man raised the flag high and waved it twice vigorously.
Zhu Ping'an saw the greasy fat man raise the flag twice in a row, and couldn't help but want to cover his eyes, unable to bear to look directly.
Generally speaking, people who raise the flag will often be slapped in the face. As for the greasy fat man's ending, Zhu Ping'an already knew it, so he couldn't bear to watch it.
"Ha!" Liu Dadao roared.
"What, you don't believe it?!" The greasy fat man glared at Liu Dadao and said firmly, "I didn't tell you! In the last provincial examination, I was voted first in the first examination!"
"You, the first place in the first test?!" Liu Dadao was surprised and looked at the greasy fat man, full of doubts.
Zhu Ping'an was not surprised or doubtful at all. Because this was the truth, and this experience was also recorded in history.
"No joke, first place in the first test, guaranteed!" The greasy fat man raised his head, his eyes slightly nostalgic.
"What's the result?" Liu Dadao looked at the greasy fat man again.
"Ahem, my pearl was flawless and dazzling, but the brilliance was so great that it blinded the eyes of those who admired the pearl."
The greasy fat man coughed.
"What do you mean? Can you speak human language?!" Liu Dadao couldn't understand the greasy fat man's words and glared.
"Ahem, the examiner is blind and illiterate, and cannot appreciate my beautiful article. I failed the examination and my reputation has been lost..." The greasy fat man coughed awkwardly and said with a slight blush.
"You've already failed the exam, so what else can you say..." Liu Dadao understood and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
