The banquet was not started before the host arrived, but because the banquet was very unusual, and the nuts, candied fruits and the like on the table were also valuable, with the mentality of not eating anything for nothing, and drinking equally expensive tea, the nobles chatted enthusiastically.
I woke up very happy.
While it was being lively, there were also Chu country rappers performing there, doing somersaults and jumping around, making the onlookers laugh.
After the warm-up, slaves came in one after another, and the artists then left. It was obvious that the master was about to come out, and it would be inappropriate to continue the performance.
Not long after, he saw Li Jie, dressed in a brocade robe, walking to the center at a fast pace, followed by several women, also dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Everyone knows that President Li likes stunning women, but if ordinary people think about it, how can he let others look at his wife?
Unfortunately, President Li was not an ordinary person. He opened the main seat in a swaggering manner and let Mei Dan sit down. Several other women took their seats one after another.
At this moment, there was no sound in the entire banquet hall.
Nobles from all over the world were shocked by President Li's saucy maneuvers, not only because Li Jie brought out his harem, but also because the quality of Li Jie's harem was truly the best in the world!
Many young princes couldn't help lowering their heads when they saw those stunning figures in the world, not daring to look up at all.
Even the old Jianghu people secretly admired that the savages of Wu State were indeed blessed with unparalleled beauty.
Any woman is enough to make the monarch stay in court early, and the words "fighting for beauty" cannot describe the situation at this big table.
The "glorious" banquet hall was obscured by this brilliance.
Ordinary people only saw Li Jie's beauty, but those who were sophisticated in the world were secretly dumbfounded and had to admit that Huai Shuibo's strength was indeed unfathomable.
How can he be an ordinary person who can afford to support so many outstanding heroes?
"I am so happy to have gained a thousand pieces of gold today! Li and all of you are happy together!"
After saying that, Li Jie laughed, poured a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "Here, serve the wine! Let's do it!"
The wine-carrying slaves immediately poured the warm wine on. Hundreds of tables were busy, and the aroma of wine overflowed. Even the most greedy old drinker couldn't hold back at this moment.
"Respect Huai Shui Bo!"
"Respect Huai Shui Bo!"
"Respect Huai Shui Bo!"
…
After a round of drinks, several cold dishes were served first. In addition to jellyfish, preserved eggs, pig ears and other rare things from various countries, there are also cold dishes of soaked mountain mushrooms, which are sour and appetizing. After the entrance is rejected, the aroma begins to burst.
.
Although he is a well-known figure among the princes, he has to admit at this moment that the food in Huaizhong City is the best in the world!
"Don't be polite, you guys, open your belly and have enough wine and food! Hahahaha..."
Li Jie, who was extremely strong in stature, now looked even bigger after putting on the brocade robe, and his beard was spread out. His voice, which was already like Hong Zhongda Lu, was even more prominent in this banquet hall.
Some Zeng children who came with the country even complained in a low voice: "The dragon roars and the tiger roars, it's nothing more than this."
While they were complaining, some people also secretly looked at Li Jie's table. After a little counting, they found that they knew quite a few princesses.
Princess Gui Zhen of Chen State, "Little Peach Blossom Fairy", Princess Cai Fu of Cai State, Princess Ji Douzi of Wei State...
There are also some relatively low-key ones, such as the princess of Suiguo and the princess of Qin. The nobles of other countries are more respectful and do not mention them on such occasions.
If we really talk about how Qin Princess Ying Ying is still alive, maybe the people at Zi Che's table will fall out.
But people from the Zi Che family are really happy now.
They didn't think anything of it before, but now with a table of good wine and good food, the children of the Ziche family immediately admired Zuo Qu's horse and Ziche's white buttocks.
Wise and decisive, he can be called the greatest hero in the history of Zi Che!
Uncle Huai Shui of the State of Wu can actually hug him with his thighs. It’s really amazing!
Awesome!
The kitchen of Huaishui Bo's Mansion is unique in the world, with all kinds of kitchen utensils and cooking utensils. With the advancement of metallurgical technology, any cook in Huaishui Bo's Mansion can cook the dishes of princes from all over the world.
The cook is hung up and beaten.
What's more, the kitchen of Huai Shui Bo Mansion has the richest ingredients in the world.
Some nobles from the Kingdom of Xia were stunned when they saw that there were many kinds of vegetables on the table.
It's not that the princes of the Central Plains don't know about greenhouse vegetables, and it's not that they have no way to eat out-of-season ingredients, but the cost is extremely high, and usually only when the hegemon is at his peak can he waste his wealth like this.
However, in the banquet hall of Huai Shui Bo Mansion, the nobles all felt that their monarch was a bit pitiful.
After the cold dishes were served, hot dishes, scallops, oysters, etc. were quickly served as appetizers. There was no original flavor, but minced garlic, vermicelli and green onions were used.
There are two types of vermicelli, one is mung bean flour and the other is made from taro starch. The latter is extremely sticky and is made into small cubes like jelly. After entering the mouth, combined with the sauce prepared earlier, the taste is smooth and a bit smooth.
Flexible, with a piece of dried razor clam meat in the middle, the taste is even more explosive.
Most of the nobles who are able to make a living have eaten seafood, but the seafood in their mouths often has a fishy smell much greater than the umami. The reasons are complicated, but the main reason is that many seafood products are not prepared correctly.
But in Huaishui Bofu, the entire "Dongsha" was supplying Li Jie with mussels, kelp, seaweed, gooseneck barnacles, scallops, oysters, clams, blue crabs, eels, etc.
Among them, dry goods such as mussels are also sold in Suzhou. Originally, the old monster also liked to eat clam soup when he was alive. Later, after "Baisha" came under Li Jie's jurisdiction, mussels, shellfish, and dried cuttlefish became available.
Pay tribute to the important products of Gusu.
What is good from above must be followed by those below.
This also led to the fact that some time before the old monster died, the nobles in the Gusu Wangji area had a huge demand for high-end seafood. With the expansion of Hangou and the Battle of Biyang, merchants spread this way of eating.
Arrived in the north.
When the Biyang City Second Ring Road construction site was in full swing, the price of mussels was finally brought down. In the coastal area east of Jili, a large number of small fiefdoms owned by nobles were collecting seafood there.
The specialties along the coast can be considered to have a very subtle value.
At this moment, each person had a bowl of pork ribs and cuttlefish soup. In the small earthenware pot, in addition to dried cuttlefish cut into small strips, there were also dried shiitake mushrooms soaked and cut into small dices.
None of these are important. What is important is the ribs. Several newly-selected large pigs in Yinxiang. After the sows are conceived, the boars and sows begin to be raised in separate stalls. After making sure that the sow's milk does not have too much fishy smell,
Afterwards, after castration, the meat quality of this batch of piglets will be much better than that of piglets raised in the same pen.
Not only is the odor reduced, but the quality of the oil is also greatly improved.
In the pork ribs and cuttlefish soup, there is a layer of oil and chopped green onion. In the past, the nobles did not like to eat pork. Now, after eating it, everyone's eyes will light up.
There is also an indescribable umami flavor that blends into the bones and flesh.
To detach lean meat from the bones, you only need to exert gentle force with your lips and teeth, chew it a little, and your lips and teeth will be filled with laughter.
And that seemingly useless pig bone is actually a tube bone. The bone marrow inside contains the aroma of the soup itself, plus the unique smell of light dried cuttlefish, mixed with the beauty of the oil itself, and the whole thing is
The banquet hall... looks like a pig farm.
The sounds of squeaking and squeezing kept coming and going, and hundreds of tables were slurping at the same time. It was really embarrassing.
The crocodiles didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the nobles felt a little embarrassed, but seeing the situation all around, they let it go.
The various dishes, the servants who were busy without touching the floor, the magnificent hall, all these novel things made the nobles from all over the world feel that their trip was worthwhile.
While everyone was feasting, Biyangzi Yubao stepped forward with a cup in hand. She came to Li Jie with a smile and asked cheerfully: "Gong Shicai said that he was very happy to get a 'thousand gold pieces'. I wonder what the 'thousand gold pieces' means?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Jie tossed a piece of spareribs in his hand, wiped it casually, and then said, "Don't wait, Junjun!"
After saying that, Li Jie stood up and shouted to the guards on duty: "Bring the things up!"
"yes!"
After the two guards on duty left, a large number of boxes were carried in and placed in the center of the aisle.
Li Jie walked up with Yu Bao, then looked left and right: "Open."
"yes!"
After opening it, nobles from all over the world looked around the table no matter how far away they were. They saw that there were glass products in the box. However, this glass product was a bit special. There seemed to be another small piece of paper inside.
This miraculous technique stunned Yu Bao. He had seen paper and he had seen glass, but he had never seen glass with paper inside.
He had been to a glass workshop and it was so hot that it exploded.
And the paper...he burned it by mistake.
How do these two things come together?
Just when Yubao was feeling impressed by the beauty of the treasure, his expression suddenly changed. After he got closer, he saw that there seemed to be writing on the paper inside the small glass product.
"Gold...a pound?"
"good!"
Li Jie pointed arrogantly at the pile of junk in front of him, "With this glass voucher, you can go to the Jiangyin Guild Hall in Huaizhong City and exchange it for a pound of gold!"
"A total of..."
"Thousands"
Li Jie chuckled and said to everyone, "Today's guests, everyone has a share!"
