Today, a group of officials gathered at the Ministry of Punishment, which is a rare major event in recent years. The Ministry of Punishment naturally had to provide good hospitality. The kitchen of the Ministry of Punishment also showed their special skills. Four dishes and one soup seemed simple, but they put a lot of thought into it.
, not only the materials used are exquisite, but the cooking is even more delicate.
Chicken marrow and bamboo shoots, fresh and delicious.
Cooking Ding uses fresh bamboo shoots transported to the capital from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal from the south of the Yangtze River, cut into evenly thin slices, paired with mushrooms newly picked at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, chicken nuggets rolled in hot oil, poured with chicken bone marrow stock, and stewed over low heat.
.
Rouge goose breast, delicious in color and flavor.
Pao Ding takes the goose raised by the farmer, pickles it with salt for two nights, and then cooks it. When cooked, the goose meat turns rouge color, hence the name rouge goose. Add a pot of apricot blossom stuffing, and it is most delicious.
The rest of the dishes, including the "Qunlongju", "Emerald Jasper" and "West Lake Whitebait Soup", are also carefully cooked, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and balanced nutrition.
Zhu Ping'an didn't have much appetite at first, but after taking a bite of chicken marrow and bamboo shoots, the taste was opened up. It tasted sweet together with Liu Da Dao and Da Hammer.
In this world, apart from beauty, food is the most important thing.
It didn't take long for Zhu Ping'an to finish the four dishes and one soup on the table. At this time, the other officials on the table had only eaten the top of their plates.
Several high-minded officials nearby looked at Zhu Ping'an, Liu Dadao and others eating together and couldn't help but look sideways.
A top scholar actually eats at the same table with a bunch of idiots! What a shame.
When they saw the four dishes and one soup on the table, Zhu Ping'an and the others had eaten all the dishes, they shook their heads even more.
Zhao Daying is also paying attention to Zhu Pingan.
At first, Zhu Ping'an was in a daze, and Zhao Daying laughed in his heart. Now he is scared after knowing about it, and it's too late to tell you that Zhu Ping'an is late.
However, the next second.
The style of painting suddenly changed. Without any psychological preparation, Zhao Daying's mouth turned crooked.
What kind of nonsense is worrying about not being able to eat? Zhu Ping'an has such a good appetite that he almost chewed the plate. He eats like Feng Juan Can Yun, eating three times, five times, five times, and two dishes before the disc is complete.
However this is not over yet.
"Please continue the dishes."
After the dishes were gone, Zhu Ping'an straightened his clothes and said to the waiter standing nearby to continue the dishes. Zhao Daying's face turned green with anger when he heard this.
Continuation?!
Why don't you fight to death, you bastard!
Eat it!
After today, it's time for you to eat prison food. Prison food is not as good as today's rice. Just eat it well! You may cry sometimes!
Want more food?!
Others looked at Zhu Pingan in a strange way. It was just an official eating with Ni Legzi, but he still asked for a refill with such a lackluster attitude.
However, no matter what others thought, Zhu Pingan took it indifferently, eating and drinking as he should, without affecting his appetite at all. Even when the servant came to refill the dishes, he still had time to praise the craftsmanship of the cook in the kitchen of the Criminal Department.
interesting.
Yan Shifan, who was surrounded by stars in the distance, glanced at Zhu Pingan, smiled slightly and shook his head. If it weren't for the memorial, Yan Shifan would have wanted to win over Zhu Pingan.
After lunch.
Before the officers who went to the Ministry of War to take promotions came, several more officials came to Chen Qinggong Hall. One of them was Xu Jie, who had just been promoted to the cabinet some time ago, and there were also Zhang Juzheng and others.
With a smile on his face, Xu Jie walked in and exchanged greetings with Yan Shifan and others. Xu Jie was very popular. Not only did the neutral party meet with Li Dang and Xu Jie, many people from the Yan party also came to greet Xu Jie. In the past few months, Xu Jie often came to see Xu Jie.
Go to Yan's Mansion, visit Yan Song like a junior, play chess with Yan Song, drink tea, and exchange feelings. The relationship with Yan Dang is like a honeymoon.
"The student has met the teacher."
When Xu Jie came, Zhu Ping'an naturally couldn't sit still. Seeing that Xu Jie, Yan Shifan and the others were almost done talking, he straightened his clothes, stood up, walked to Xu Jie, and greeted Xu Jie respectfully.
"Well, Zihou came just in time. I'm talking about you. Come here and introduce some senior scholars to you. You are young and reckless, and you are immature in many things. You still need to learn more from these seniors." Xu Jie
Seeing Zhu Pingan coming to salute, he smiled slightly and nodded, beckoned Zhu Pingan to come closer, and introduced several nearby officials to Zhu Pingan.
Every time Xu Jie introduced someone, Zhu Ping'an naturally greeted them respectfully.
Of course, none of the officials in the Yan Party looked down upon Zhu Ping'an, saying, "We can't stand the gift of the number one scholar," "You student has a really good appetite," and "That's all, how can we teach the number one scholar?"
Such sarcasm.
In response, the smile on Xu Jie's face remained unchanged.
"Brother Nian, this is my incompetent student Zhu Zihou. He is not experienced in the world and can easily go astray. If Zihou makes a mistake and goes astray, you don't need to give me face. He should be beaten and punished. Du Jianfeng
Who else is responsible for this small responsibility?" Xu Jie added later when introducing Zhu Ping'an to nearby officials.
The general meaning is: I am a useless student, you should be beaten and punished, and everyone is responsible for preventing the slightest change.
Although Xu Jie said this, everyone knew in their hearts. Xu Jie's ability to introduce Zhu Ping'an to everyone also showed an attitude to everyone.
This is similar to parents introducing their children to teachers and friends around them. Why is my child more naughty? Teacher, please bother me a lot. Don’t be polite to me. Hit me when I need to, and scold me when I need to be scolded. I am naughty and make small mistakes.
Don't be polite. If you make a big mistake and can't control it, you'll beat me to death. Don't be merciful at all.
But actually, he introduces you to me as my child, can you not give me face?! Can you hit me and scold me as much as you want?
If you dare to beat me to death, try it!
On the surface, it looks like he is scolding or belittling, but in fact, there is a kind of protection underneath. Xu Jie showed everyone the relationship between Zhu Ping'an and himself, which is a kind of hidden protection.
Introduce it to everyone.
This is an unspoken rule, which is equivalent to a formal informing relationship. If Xu Jie didn't make it clear, everyone would pretend to be confused. Now that Xu Jie has made it clear, everyone has to worry about Xu Jie.
Especially officials with relatively deep connections know more about the inside story. Xu Jieqian'er won the favor of the emperor because of his Qingci and was awarded a flying fish suit. The key sentence "turning a tiger into a dragon" in this Qingci is said to have come from the man in front of him, Zhu Ping'an.
Before Zhu Pingan's examination, his Qingci skills in the palace examination were also outstanding. Such a high disciple, and Xu Jie was not blind, how could he give up so easily. If nothing else, just relying on Zhu Pingan's Qingci skills, even if
If you can't develop a right-hand man, you might as well just keep writing Qing Ci in the future.
"Brother Zisheng, why are you here today?" Yan Shifan narrowed his one eye slightly and asked with a smile.
"Oh, Donglou, you don't know something. There are few things in the cabinet today. After handing over the ceremony department in the morning, the cabinet minister gave me half a day's leave. I happened to pass by here when I went home. After hearing today's petition, I didn't even want to go home.
So I stopped by to join in the fun." Xu Jie replied with a slight smile, calling Yan Shifan's name familiarly. 8
