Chapter 948 The Eight Treasures of Water and Land
There was blood on his face and clothes. Ouyang Zishi obviously couldn't wipe it off like this, so he had to get up and excuse himself to change clothes and go out to clean up.
Serving continues.
The food served by the other maids was still a feast for the eyes, and it was no less impressive than the scenery when the second maid served the food. The dish she served was the Eight Treasures Phoenix Marrow, which is the second delicacy of the Eight Treasures. The Phoenix Marrow is made from the brains of golden pheasants, mixed with tofu, and made into a phoenix shape.
The dishes were served clockwise. The second maid came to Luo Wenlong. She did not dance, nor did she make poses, nor did she show off her skills like the first one. She just served the dishes very normally. Holding the dinner plate in her slender hands, she softly announced the name of the dish, then bent down and placed the dinner plate on the table.
However
Just when she bent down to put the dinner plate, a sudden change occurred! Gao Chao came without any foreshadowing.
There was only a soft sound of "bang", and then everyone's eyes turned white.
When the maid’s upper body, which was no less impressive than Liu Yan’s, bent down, her shirt belt broke open and her whole body jumped out.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes were straightened! Especially Luo Wenlong, who was closest to the maid, his eyes almost popped out.
Then
The third maid, the fourth...and all the way to the sixteenth maid, all the sixteen dishes of Shui and Lu Bazhen were served. Each dish has a feasting way to serve it, making it a feast for the eyes.
Ouyang Zishi came back from the Eight Treasures of the Tenth Path. When he came back, he passed by Zhu Pingan and gave a heavy cold snort.
Obviously.
Ouyang Zishi blamed Zhu Pingan for today's scandal. In his heart, the deep hatred between him and Zhu Pingan deepened, so when he passed by Zhu Pingan, he snorted heavily. There was a sound.
When Zhu Pingan heard Ouyang Zishi's cold snort, he looked up and saw Ouyang Zishi looking at him with a gloomy face, as if he was taking the blame for himself. Zhu Pingan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth speechlessly. Ouyang Zishi's words Have you lost your mind? Or have you taken the wrong medicine? !
Did I cause you to have a nosebleed and make yourself look embarrassed? !
Besides, you’re the one who’s provocative with a nosebleed, right? In the final analysis, you are the one to blame for all this. Why did you rely on me instead? Haha, the brain is a good thing, but it is a pity that Ouyang Zishi did not grow up.
After all the eight delicacies of water and land were served, Luo Ziyu flattered Yan Shifan and said, "Sir Yan, none of the eight delicacies of water and land were left behind. Today's dish is so rich, we really deserve it. Ah."
"Haha, it seems that Xiutai is also a person who knows food. Zhang Jiushao said in "Qunshu Shishi" that the eight treasures are dragon liver, phoenix marrow, rabbit fetus, carp tail, and owl. Zhi, orang lip, bear's paw, crispy cheese, but Yan has a different view. He read through ancient classics such as "Book of Rites", "Tang Lei Han", "Piya", "Zhuo Geng Lu" and so on, and combined it with the historical records of the Eighth Route Army. Zhenyan According to the records, the Bazhen can be divided into the Lu Bazhen and the Water Bazhen, with a total of sixteen kinds. Haha, if there is nothing in the heart, how can the Bazhen be treated with quinoa soup? Let me try it. ”
Yan Shifan called Luo Ziyu, laughed and said, and then extended his hand to everyone in a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you, Mr. Yan."
Luo Ziyu and others, including Zhu Pingan and Zhang Juzheng, expressed their thanks to Yan Shifan.
Looking at the eight land and water treasures on the table, Zhu Ping'an felt a lot in his heart. If it were placed in modern times, these bear paws, orangutan lips, leopard fetuses, etc., there are so many wild protected animals on this table. Everyone has to go in.
But in ancient times, it was okay. These wild animals reproduced in large enough populations in ancient times and have not been eaten as protected animals.
At the dinner table, Yan Shifan chatted with everyone about current affairs, and promised on the spot to recommend one of them to be transferred from Taipus Temple to the position of head of the warehouse under the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Yan Shifan said he recommended it, but everyone knew that it was a done deal. There is no doubt that after today's banquet is over, the official appointment document from the Ministry of Revenue will be issued to that person within a few days.
This kind of thing happened not once or twice. Everyone knows the rules that cannot be respected by outsiders.
So, everyone looked at that man with envy and congratulations.
Taipu Temple is in charge of horse husbandry, that is, Bi Mawen, who raises horses, belongs to Qingshui Yamen. The warehouse department under the Ministry of Household Affairs is famous for its oil and water yamen, not to mention that the director of the warehouse department is more than When he was in Taipu Temple, he was still one level higher.
Not only could he be transferred from Qingshui Yamen to Youshui Yamen, but he could also be promoted to a higher level. This was a double blessing.
The man was overjoyed when he heard this, and his face flushed with excitement. He toasted and thanked Yan Shifan repeatedly, and hinted that he still had some local specialties at home, and he must deliver them to his house for Yan Shifan to try when he returns. .
Souvenir?
Haha
It’s weird if you believe it, Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
The appointment of officials by the imperial court has its own set of cumbersome, complicated and serious procedures and rules, but from today's incident we can see how powerful Yan Shifan or Yan Dang is.
Zhu Ping'an showed no expression on his face, but in his heart he was filled with emotion and indignation.
The same was true for Zhang Juzheng. When he and everyone congratulated the man, a haze passed between his brows.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, why are you thanking me? I also saw that you are quite talented in warehousing and counting, and I couldn't bear Mr. Zhang to waste this talent, so I decided to recommend you. As the saying goes, don't avoid relatives when you are promoted. Don't avoid hatred when doing external things, just do things for your own good. Yan is not a selfish person, and we won't do that kind of thing. , I just agreed to recommend it. Whether it works or not depends on your own moral character and ability. Everything must be done according to the procedures and rules. No one can be an exception."
< br>Yan Shifan laughed and shook his head, spread out his hands, shook his head and explained with a shiny face.
"Yes, yes, Master Yan is right. The holy teachings are brilliant and the principles are clear. Master Yan has always been selfless, and I know it. However, I still have to thank you for the kindness of knowing and recommending."< br>
The official surnamed Zhang kept saying yes while insisting on thanking Yan Shifan.
"Haha, Xiao Zhang, you are confused. Brother Donglou always recommends talents with both integrity and talent, and only those who are qualified. Brother Donglou appreciates your talents in warehousing and counting. This is I just recommended you, and I don’t expect you to repay your kindness. Isn’t it filthy for you to do this? If you lose Brother Donglou's reputation, come on, you'll have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty. If you have intentions, why bother saying more? Doing your duty is the best way to repay Brother Donglou." Zhao Wenhua laughed and shook his head. He pursed his lips towards the official named Zhang and signaled him to drink three drinks as a penalty.
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is Meicun." Yan Shifan laughed.
"Oh, it's very true. It's a big mistake for a low-ranking official to judge the heart of a great man with a villain's heart." The official named Zhang knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing the song. He admitted his mistake and said to himself I poured myself three large glasses of wine.
If you have the intention, why bother to say more, just do your duty
If you want to give it to me, just give it to me, just say something.
Send it away!
Send it to you when you get back! (End of this chapter)
