----------------The representative dishes of the Purple Lantern girls have finally been served. This time there are a total of nine exquisite and unusual dishes, not to mention the color and fragrance of the dishes.
, just those few elegant porcelain plates that are not identical are extremely valuable. If such porcelain plates were shipped to Europe, they would have to be replaced by a castle.
The nine famous purple lantern dishes are: Glaze Pearl, Jade Dragon Slice, Longjing Goldfish, Crane Abalone, Braised Fish Lips, Sun and Moon Shine, Phoenix Playing with Peony, Crystal Jade Begonia, Phoenix Eyes and Autumn Waves
As soon as these nine dishes were put on the table, the whole Miaoyufang was filled with fragrance. With the dishes made like this, the dish has become more than just a dish, but an art. Although the fragrance is overflowing, people can't bear to eat it.
Afraid of damaging such a beautiful and delicate work
Of course, this is for ordinary people. For the three people present, all of them have seen the world, and they clearly know that the authors of these dishes are anxiously looking forward to their favor, so it is not
As for taking special care of it, as far as Yun Zheng is concerned, he also has a smart and skilled girl like Xiao He, and now he has a Yan'er, but he is not afraid that his mouth will not enjoy it in the future. In fact, he doesn't know that the people around him
Women, it's not just Xiao He and Yan'er who are good at craftsmanship, the others just haven't had the chance to show it off in front of him.
Lin Xi laughed when he saw it and said to Yunzheng: "Chengfeng, last time you were in Miaoyufang, you said that four legs are not as good as two legs, and two legs are not as good as no legs. You said you have no legs.
Meat is the best to eat. I’m afraid the girls in this building have all remembered it. Look at these dishes. They are all based on what you call legless meat. There are all kinds of fish and shrimps.
?”
Yun Zheng chuckled: "Isn't this also a match? Look at the glass beads. Although the main ingredients are mandarin fish meat and shrimps, there is also a little minced pork; and this Feng Xi Peony, a jellyfish head is paired with half a catty.
The chicken breast... is still very particular, the combination is just right, it's not as exaggerated as you said?"
Lin Xi waved her hand and said with a smile: "Anyway, I have seen your influence. I see, fortunately, we are allowed to pick the girls now. If the girls were allowed to pick us, I am afraid that I will be single now.
"
The three of them laughed together, but Sister Qu did not dare to laugh like this, and said quickly: "The girls also admire the prince for his sagacity. There is also Prince Jiang, who is also famous far and wide. Our girls from Miaoyufang
Everyone wants to see the honor."
Yun Zheng laughed: "Look, look, Sister Qu, this is the truth... Chen Guang, don't always speak in such exaggerated words. If I were like what you said, I would really not dare to go out!"
"
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Now we should choose the food and the girl?"
Lin Xi slapped her forehead: "Yes, yes, yes, let's just talk and forget about the real thing... Yuanhang, there are nine dishes here, each dish is made by a purple lamp girl, starting from the selection of materials.
To completion, all the processes are completed by the hands of these graceful and beautiful people, which is of extraordinary value and even more extraordinary significance! Now, each of us has a chance to choose a dish. Whichever dish you drop your chopsticks for the first time represents your choice.
Which girl?”
Jiang Fan nodded with a smile and said: "This is a novel method. Can't we first see what the girls who cook these dishes look like?"
Lin Xi chuckled and waved her hand: "You can't see what they look like first, but don't worry Yuanhang, although I can't see what they look like, the purple lantern girls in Miaoyufang are all beautiful and fragrant, no matter what you do.
Choose, in the end the beauties who come out to accompany you must be first-class beauties, and all of these beauties are honest officials... What do you think, are you satisfied with this way of playing a long voyage? "
Jiang Fan laughed: "How can Chen Guang and Cheng Feng's arrangements be any worse? I'm satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."
"That's good, Yuanhang, you are a guest from afar, and you are the first one to lose the chopsticks. Come, let's see which girl you choose... for her masterpiece, haha!"
Jiang Fan naturally had to be more humble, and Lin Xi and Yun Zheng also insisted that he should move the chopsticks first. After a lot of pushing and shoving, in the end Jiang Fan chose him first to pick up the chopsticks. Looking at the nine dishes, they didn’t hesitate much.
I chose the last phoenix eyes.
He picked up a golden pigeon egg and said with a smile: "I will choose this phoenix eye."
Lin Xi and Yun Zheng laughed, and then they heard a pleasant female voice in the room next to them: "To make the eyes of the Phoenix, add water to the pot, add the pigeon eggs, cook them over the fire, take them out, and peel off the skin.
, wash with water, first remove the big head of the pigeon eggs to make them stand upright, then cut off the upper half of the pigeon eggs to expose the yolk. Put the chicken minced meat into a bowl, add cooking wine, refined salt, corn flour, chicken
Oil, stir vigorously, then beat in the egg white and stir to form a paste. Cut the dough into rhombus-shaped slices 1 inch long, 6 minutes wide, and 1 minute thick. Cut 12 slices in total. Spread the chicken minced paste on each piece of bread, and then
Press a pigeon egg on it, spread it all around with a knife, put it into a stir-fry pan, add a pound of oil, heat it to 60% heat, add the pigeon egg, fry it until golden brown... The slave's name is Qian'er, favored by Prince Xie Jiang."
Jiang Fan chuckled: "I am so chosen because I am destined to come thousands of miles to meet you. Miss Qian'er is good at her craftsmanship."
Na Qian'er said something modestly next door, and Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Chen Guang, now it depends on your luck."
Lin Xi waved her hand: "You first, you first. Since I am the host, how can there be any reason to do it myself first? Chengfeng, please don't be polite."
Yun Zheng also expected that he would not choose before him today, so he picked up his chopsticks and smiled softly: "Haha, in this case, you're welcome, then I will choose this sun and moon to shine. May our country be great."
For thousands of years, the sun and the moon will shine brightly!"
Lin Xi smiled and said: "Yun's Zhongliang, my father and I have always known this dish well, so you chose it well."
Jiang Fan also nodded, with an expression of deep approval: "Brother Chengfeng is loyal to the court and is truly a role model for our generation."
After the three of them finished talking, Sister Qu smiled and said, "The dish that Young Marshal Yun picked is the most complicated of the nine dishes. Xiner, why don't you explain it to Young Marshal Yun?"
Yun Zheng chuckled, and then heard another elegant female voice in the room next to her. She was a little surprised, and she tried her best to suppress her excitement and said: "Sun and Moon Tonghui will first select twenty-four top-quality abalones, tear off the defects on the abalones, and use a knife to remove the abalones from the belly."
Flatten the slices to make the abalones the same size and thickness... (Skip) Finally, pour half of the gravy on the abalone with egg yolk exposed. Add the other half of the gravy to the soy sauce, turn it into red gravy over high heat, and pour it on the other half of the abalone.
That’s it… I’ll give you my name as Xin’er, Prince Xie Yun favors me.”
Yun Zheng smiled: "Miss Xin'er is good at her craftsmanship. The sun and the moon are both beautiful and fragrant. She has really created a charm."
Lin Xi laughed: "It's my turn now, well, let me see...Then I will play with the peony."
Sure enough, this time another female voice came from inside, telling Lin Xi the basic process of making Fengxi Peony (skip it to avoid being thought to be too much for me), and thanked Lin Xi for her favor, and then Sister Qu continued.
After saying a few necessary words, three elegant girls with their own characteristics walked in from the outside, and the banquet in the room immediately became more colorful.
------------------------------------- Ximo Tower is said to have existed in the former Tang Dynasty
A certain great writer of the ancient times left his calligraphy here and personally cleaned the ink-stained inkstone in the small pond in the backyard of this building. Later, a certain generation of managers of this building dug up this long-lost past and renovated the building.
It was renamed Ximo Restaurant, and as a high-end teahouse, its reputation became more and more prosperous. In the hands of the current generation of Ximo Restaurant bosses, it has become the number one teahouse in Yangzhou. Whether it is really elegant or fake, it is a must-see for anyone visiting Yangzhou.
Celebrities basically have to go to the Washing Ink Building to decorate their clothes, as if not doing so would make it impossible for people to believe in their talent.
Today, the Ximo Building is extremely quiet. It’s not that business is bad - business is very good, and the entire building is booked. However, there are only four guests in such a large building, namely Cao Rui, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Jun, the eldest son of the Zhou Dynasty.
Prince Linsheng of Jiujiang and Leng Yu, the eldest son of the Leng family. Originally, only Lin Sheng and Leng Yu were here, but later, under the mediation of Cao Rui, Zhou Jun also joined in for some reason, and then they started discussing nervously.
Looks like something important
Lin Sheng was originally a little uncomfortable with people from the Zhou family mixing with him, but when he learned that Jiang Fan had gone to the Yangzhou government office and was chatting and laughing with Lin Xi and Yun Zheng, he realized that the situation was a little beyond his original plan.
In his opinion, the Jiang family is a completely neutral force. In the game of competing for the throne, the Jiang family has never been a decisive force, so they have never taken the Jiang family's actions seriously.
, let them do whatever they want
However, a neutral Jiang family is not scary, but a Jiang family that favors Lao Liu is very scary. As soon as Lin Sheng learned about Jiang Fan's movements from Cao Rui, he knew that this time the Jiang family had probably prepared a team.
What's bad is that they didn't choose to stand on their side. The last straw can break the camel's back, and having one more Lao Liu with support from the Jiang family will increase his chances of winning, not to mention that although Lin Sheng is reckless, he is not confused.
He knew the purpose of Cao Rui's coming here as soon as he heard it: Lao Liu was too popular, it was time to suppress it, otherwise it would not be a good thing for many, many people. At this time, even if he cooperates with the people of Prince Brother,
There is no other choice but to accept it. After all, the situation has changed from two dragons playing with pearls to three sons vying for the heir. Originally, Lin Xu and Lin Sheng were very unhappy, so they joined forces to knock down Lin Laoliu, who was in the limelight first.
It has many benefits. Not to mention anything else, it can at least make the father feel that Lao Liu's imperial skills and ability to do things are not very good, and it can also give the people under his two subordinates something to look forward to.
Under such a premise, under the "force" of the same enemy, the Zhou family, which was newly recruited by the prince or drawn into an alliance, joined forces with the strength of the King of Jiujiang for the first time to deal with the Liuye Party, which had a slight advantage in rising.
In the top-level Accord in Ximo Building, Cao Ruizheng introduced the actions of Lin Xi, Yun Zheng, and Jiang Fan in the recent period with solemnity and a little worry, as well as their behavior characteristics and entry and exit habits. Finally, he said calmly: "...So, gentlemen, the current situation is so bad that we cannot afford to ignore it."
Lin Sheng frowned but didn't speak. Cao Rui hadn't really gotten into the topic yet, but Leng Yu asked: "There is no room for negligence. Everyone has known this for a long time. So what if the problem is negligence? So what if we don't? Let's discuss it carefully." How to eliminate this adverse impact and change this situation is the right thing to do."
Zhou Jun also said: "Under the current situation, we can only make all the preparations before the grand performance flawless and fight back against them on the training ground with the actual results of the training. Only in this way can we attack them at the same time." The recent arrogance has left everyone speechless.”
As soon as everyone heard this, they all felt bright and knew that the drama was coming. As expected, Cao Rui immediately said: "In my opinion, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. King Jiujiang, Prince Zhou and Leng Although the elite soldiers under the prince's command are powerful and can be called the elite of the Wei Dynasty, the three families are extremely close at the moment. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not do some unwise and smart things in order to achieve results. In this grand joint performance, each army will The authority of the supervisory order is not small. If the three of them join forces to manipulate the results of the exercise, how can we, as important officials of the imperial court, let it go? We must come up with a perfect strategy to deal with possible injustices. Do you think so?"
Lin Sheng spoke at this time and asked: "I am a straightforward person, and I always speak and do things quickly. Since Mr. Cao has an idea, he might as well say it directly. Whether it is successful or not, we can discuss it later."
Cao Rui chuckled: "Well, I will speak frankly. Now the Six Armed Forces Joint Exercise is about to begin. In order to prevent the results of the exercise from being manipulated by some people with ulterior motives and deceiving the court, I thought that we and other upright people must decide in advance. The next framework is to make sure that the trend and results of the exercise are under our control, and that some troubles that should not occur will not occur. Specifically, we should do this early on who will win the top three infantry competitions. It’s the arrangement”
Everyone sneered in their hearts, as expected
In fact, no one is willing to be the first to take up this topic, because the first person to take up this topic may be considered to be afraid of the strength of Ying Yang and Feng Wu, because they are worried that they will not be able to compare with them, so Only then did they agree to this cheating plan. As for the Turtle Armor Guard, everyone didn't take it to heart. After all, he was the only naval force in the Sixth Army. He managed the exercise alone and did not conflict with anyone. The key was the two guards of Ying Yang Feng Wu. , we must squeeze out their quota and let our own people go
In the end, Leng Yu, who had other things on his mind, finally couldn't help but said: "So, what does Mr. Cao think is the most reasonable arrangement?"
Cao Rui waved his hand: "As long as we suppress them, we will see the actual results on our side. What do you think?"
This method is also the best solution, otherwise the internal allocation of rankings will collapse. What Cao Rui said was unanimously recognized by everyone.
As soon as some important matters were finalized, there was a knock on the door outside. The meeting here was arranged by Cao Rui. Someone knocked on the door outside. Naturally, it was his person. He frowned and said displeased: "What's the matter? I just gave some small orders."
Don’t you want to disturb me at this time? Come in and tell me!”
Suddenly, a smart-looking guy slipped in from outside. He bowed his head and leaned close to Cao Rui. He whispered a few words. Cao Rui had a sullen face at first, but then he gradually smiled. When the man finished speaking,
, gave him an appreciative look and said, "You did a good job, go and get a reward of ten taels of silver." The guy went there with a lot of thanks.
As soon as the person who reported the news left, Cao Rui chuckled: "Everyone, good news. Some people may think that everything will be fine after discussing the inside story, but they actually ran away to have a romantic relationship. Huh, what a shame!
Well, on the day before the big exercise, he actually went to a place like Miaoyufang with great fanfare to have fun, and he neglected military affairs... If the outside world knew about His Majesty's training of the new army, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
?How do you think we can dissuade Yu Ren?"
When everyone heard this, they felt happy. On the day before such a large-scale military operation was about to be carried out, as the commander of the capital, they actually went to a brothel to have fun together. This was a great example! What if...
Leng Yu suddenly sneered and curled his lips, saying: "Drink flower wine, drink flower wine, you must be good at drinking wine. I heard that a certain young marshal from the north has had a thorny temper since he was a child. If he drinks wine, no one will dare to follow him."
He robbed a woman, what do you think will be the consequences?"
Everyone was shocked. If they simply wanted to watch the excitement, then Leng Yu was a typical person who deliberately framed someone and took advantage of him.
