Chapter 679: Taste the Cheng family banquet that shocked Chang'an (please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Chubi looked at this second brother who had a very down-to-earth character in confusion, and was a little confused.
Then I saw the second brother pointing with his big hand. "It's already dinner time, how can we serve guests with tea? It's outrageous."
"Four of you, please sit back while I go to the kitchen to serve wine and food. Our old Cheng family cannot neglect our guests."
"This, I'm so sorry, I'm waiting..." Chief Guanyi and others said a little flattered.
Cheng Chubi was reminded by his second brother's words and was relieved. After all, he found it a bit difficult to chat with these scholars.
But at any rate, if these people were recommended by the old Cheng family to become officials, then they would be considered members of the Duke Lu family.
In this case, it is natural to establish a good relationship in advance. The best way to establish a relationship with a big boss is over a wine table.
Just like the reason why my relationship with the Chai family, the Liu family, and the son of the military god uncle heated up rapidly was not due to drinking.
In the past, when I was in a township health center, my relationship with the leaders was too shy at first.
In the end, they also formed a deep friendship by calling each other brothers at the wine table.
Having figured this out, Cheng Chubi bowed to his second brother with sincerity and watched as he strode away in high spirits.
He turned around and smiled toothily at the four flattered village ministers.
"Everyone, my second brother is right. Our Cheng family has a rule. If you come to the door, you are a guest of our Cheng family. If you don't leave the guest at meal time."
"If this word spreads, others will think that our Duke Lu's Mansion is neglecting you."
When the four provincial ministers heard such heart-warming words, their noses almost sore and they shed tears.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the sons and sons of the Lu family, who were notorious in the court, were all so hospitable and kind-hearted.
It seems that sometimes, what the ears hear may not be true and can only be said to be harmful to others.
Seeing the four people sitting down with some embarrassment, Cheng Chubi continued to show off his hero style and started chatting with the four.
After a short while, the four of them saw a group of fat and strong servants of the Cheng family walking into the house carrying food boxes and wine jars.
The second brother unceremoniously occupied a table and pointed at the delicious and fragrant, mouth-watering delicacies.
"Come, come, come, four nobles, you must have a good taste of this Cheng family banquet that shocked Chang'an."
"You can't taste the delicious food here in Chang'an City except at Chengjia Restaurant."
"There is also our old Cheng family's secret Sanlejiang. Not only is it not intoxicating, it is also nourishing..."
Cheng Chubi watched with a smile as his second brother was spitting and boasting, and he saw the four officials taking deep breaths at the dishes on the table.
A sense of pride could not help but arise, and he picked up the already filled Cheng Mansion's secret Sanle pulp in front of him.
"Come on, come on, four of you. Although this is the first time we've met today, in order to deepen our impression, let's drink the first cup."
As soon as Cheng Chubi finished speaking, he immediately raised his neck and poured a cup of Sanle syrup into his throat. The familiar smell once again filled his five senses.
After a long time, Cheng Chubi breathed out the breath of alcohol as if shuddering. Well... Sure enough, after not drinking his own wine for a long time, he was a little unaccustomed to it.
When the four rural tribute ministers saw that the second and third young masters of the Cheng family were accompanying them in person, they went ahead as a sign of respect.
They wanted to do as they pleased, so they raised their necks one after another. After that, their four faces wrinkled into four chrysanthemums, and it took them a long time to spit out the breath of alcohol.
Xin Mao, who came from a poor family and seldom drank alcohol, almost shed tears.
I saw him looking at the empty cup in front of him with a complicated expression. After a long while, he bowed respectfully to Cheng Chubi.
"This is the first time I know that a glass of wine can fully express the mixed flavors of life. It is really wonderful. Thank you two young masters for giving me a drink."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel pity when he looked at this rural tribute son who had tasted all the flavors of life after drinking a glass of wine, and then he heard the whisper of his second brother in his ear.
"Isn't that kid trying to make fun of our old Cheng's bar? Do you want Brother Yu to take him down?"
Cheng Chubi waved his hand quietly towards his second brother with a dark look on his face. "Second brother, please don't act nonsense. That person should be sincere."
Shangguan Yi on the side did not expect that General Xin Mao would be more eye-catching than him, so he naturally refused to be outdone.
"Yes, yes, this wine is difficult to drink, but afterwards, the aftertaste is as long as that of the harp, and the lingering sound can linger around for three times."
Although Ren Yaxiang and Wu Jiangshou drank to death, they were naturally unwilling to be left behind at this time and sang praises for the old Cheng family's secret Sanlejiang.
The second and third sons of the Cheng family couldn't help but light up with joy.
Eating the Cheng family's cured meats, as well as today's carefully cooked rattan pepper chicken, and braised pork, the four of them could hardly stop eating with their chopsticks.
After three cups of Chengfu's secret Sanle syrup, the four of them finally relaxed a lot, and after five cups they were able to smile calmly.
By the time of the Seventh or Eighth Cup, out of the four rural tribute candidates, only the tall and burly Ren Yaxiang was still supporting him independently.
At this moment, Cheng Chubi saw his eldest brother Cheng Chumokankan appear outside the house.
The eldest brother Cheng Chumo saw the mess in the house and the crooked-looking Ren Yaxiang, and couldn't help but glared at the two younger brothers.
"You two bastards, why don't you wait until we have a family dinner? Brother, come on, come on. Cheng Mouwan takes a step forward and does it first as a mark of respect."
Bang bang bang, after three cups, Ren Yaxiang rubbed his eyes, glanced at Cheng Chumo in front of him, and then glanced at Cheng Chuliang who was sitting next to him and grinning happily.
He shook his head in disbelief. "It's impossible, I'm not drunk yet."
"That's right, brother, come on if you have the capacity to drink, let's get to know each other first and then we'll do it!"
Ren Yaxiang could only hold on until the third round under the hands of the third son of the Cheng family, and fell down.
He had to die heroically at the infamous Cheng family banquet.
#####
The second brother, Cheng Chuliang, laughed and quickly asked the eldest brother to come over to drink and eat meat.
"Brother, come sit here quickly. Who asked you to come home so late? These brothers are all good.
Although he doesn’t drink well, he enjoys drinking, he is a man.”
The eldest brother Cheng Chumo looked at Ren Yaxiang who had fallen down with regret, moved his face away from the vegetable basin, then sat down next to Cheng Chuliang and said.
"Oh, I have official duties today. I couldn't escape earlier. It's really unlucky. Come on, let's do it."
Of course, Cheng Chubi couldn't let these four people collapse here, so he quickly called Cheng Liang and others and asked them to carry the four rural tributes to the guest room to have a good rest.
After thinking about it and giving Cheng Liang a few words, he returned to the house and entered the next stage with the eldest and second brothers who were killing each other.
