  Chapter 875 The Evening Breeze Blows Up the Appetite

  The evening wind blows and the appetite is whetted.

  In the evening of midsummer, the roiling heat wave is gradually cooled by the evening wind. It is the most suitable time to sit at the table and feast on the cool evening.

  Especially when the table is full of rich and delicious delicacies, you can’t let your mouth and appetite down.

Yellow braised shark's fin, using the precious shark's fin from Luzon. It is golden and bright, full of elasticity, and the taste is soft and easy to absorb. The stewed soup is the old chicken soup that has been simmered overnight. It is fresh and fragrant. The chicken soup is as good as the shark's fin , bringing a sublimation of taste and vision, nourishing Qi, strengthening muscles and bones, which is wonderful.

The sika deer tendon is made from the Changbai Mountain sika deer that was tributed by Jianzhou Sanwei. The deer tendon is taken into the dish, and then the hare and pheasant native to Changbai Mountain, as well as ginseng, wolfberry and white womb that are easy to absorb the soup, and finally simmered for sweetness The radishes and apples, the sika deer tendons after being cooked are fresh without any fishy smell, the soup is still rich and mellow, the whole dish is neither fat nor greasy, and there is a special game fragrance.

The most conspicuous large plate of lamb ribs in the middle of the table is made of Yanchi Tan sheep from the Hetao area. The Tan sheep that grow here eat Chinese herbal medicines and drink ditch spring water. The meat is red and white, delicious and fragrant. Shan, the smell of meat reaches the tip of the tongue after stewing.

   There are delicacies from mountains and seas, and plates of delicacies, all of which use precious ingredients, and all of them exude attractive fragrances.

But

   Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting behind the table, looked at the delicacies and delicacies on the table, but he didn't have any intention of doing anything.

   same

  Yang Guoliang, who was two rooms away from Zhang Juzheng, was also faced with the same table of delicious delicacies from mountains and seas, as if he was quitting meat, vegetarian and soup, and he didn't eat a single bite.

  The reason is the same.

  No chopsticks.

  Yes, the waiter served them a table of delicious food, but forgot to serve them a pair of chopsticks.

   Spoons are not there either.

  How to eat food without chopsticks? ! How do you taste soup without a spoon? !

  This is the same as going to the examination room without a pen, or going to the battlefield without a weapon. Even if you have a skill, you can't use it.

   Facing a table of delicious imperial meals, he could only stare blankly.

  Of course, there are also fierce men who bite **** books on their fingers to answer questions and tear devils up with bare hands. Well, that is Zhu Pingan who is two rooms away from them. At this moment, two lamb ribs were missing from the plate in front of Zhu Pingan, and there was a clean lamb rib on the table, and the lamb rib in his hand had been half eaten.

  When Zhu Pingan finished eating the second lamb rib, Zhang Juzheng, who was two rooms away from him, finally moved.

   "I'm sorry to bother you, this father-in-law, could you please ask him to fetch a pair of chopsticks for Zhang"

  Zhang Juzheng turned around and cupped his hands to the nearest servant, apologized apologetically, and asked him to fetch a pair of chopsticks for himself.

   "Ah, the chopsticks. It's all from the miscellaneous family. They even forgot to set the chopsticks for Mr. Zhang. Damn it, how can we eat without chopsticks? Wait a moment, Mr. Zhang. The miscellaneous family will bring you chopsticks."

  The waiter heard the words, glanced at the table, and was "surprised" to find that he had forgotten to serve Zhang Juzheng with chopsticks. He hurriedly accused Zhang Juzheng of his guilt, then immediately turned around and went out to fetch chopsticks, spoons and other tableware for Zhang Juzheng.

  The tableware in the palace naturally reacted differently. What the waiter brought was a pair of pure white ivory chopsticks and a spoon made of jade.

   "Thank you, Eunuch."

  After Zhang Juzheng took the chopsticks, he cupped his hands in thanks, sat upright, and ate the royal meal in an aristocratic style from the inside out.

  Ivory chopsticks, fragrant with vegetables, the imperial meal really lives up to its reputation.

When Zhang Juzheng took the first bite of the dish, Zhu Pingan also gnawed the second lamb rib meat cleanly. When Zhu Pingan was about to reach out for the third lamb rib meat, the waiter at the side seemed to "finally" realize that he forgot In order to set chopsticks for Zhu Ping'an, he hurriedly came forward and apologized to Zhu Pingan: "Ah, **** it, the miscellaneous family just forgot to set chopsticks for Mr. Zhu, please forgive me."

   "Huh? Hehe, it's okay, it's okay..."

Zhu Pingan was startled holding the third rib of lamb when he heard the words, glanced at the table, only to realize that there were no chopsticks on the table, then smiled honestly, waved his hand indifferently, and then continued to put the lamb in his hand. The rib meat was put into the mouth.

  The servant on the side has been paying attention to Zhu Ping'an's expression.

   At the moment.

  He was deeply impressed by Zhu Pingan's "acting skills".

  The slightly raised eyebrows, the slightly opened mouth, the surprise flashing in the pupils, the raised curvature of the cheeks...

  Even Lord Zhu was surprised when he heard me say that I forgot to put my chopsticks in my breath.

  The "surprise" and "sudden surprise" revealed by Mr. Zhu, everything is so natural, everything is so real, everything is so just right...

   Seeing this, the waiter couldn't help feeling ashamed when he thought about his own performance.

Just now I showed the expression when I "discovered" that I forgot to put on my chopsticks, which is really far from Master Zhu's expression of "discovering" that there are no chopsticks. Although I couldn't see my expression at that time, the servant also knew his The expressions are a bit stiff and unnatural, and there are many flaws in the expressiveness.

  Master Zhu really deserves to be the No. 1 scholar in the year of the weak crown, and he is worthy of being a rising star in the officialdom who is promoted once every three days, enters the cabinet in two months, and is promoted twice in March.

  At this moment, the figure of Zhu Ping'an sitting on his knees and eating is so tall in the eyes of the servant, it is as tall as ten thousand feet...

  With admiration, the waiter turned around and fetched the chopsticks for Zhu Pingan, and put them on the table in front of Zhu Pingan. They were also a pair of ivory chopsticks.

   "Thank you very much."

Zhu Pingan took the chopsticks, thanked the waiter, and continued to eat the unfinished lamb ribs with his hands, then picked up the wet towel beside him to wipe his hands, and then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the sika deer Tendons, put it in the mouth and eat it.

  At this time, both Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Ping'an had chopsticks, either for the aristocrats to enjoy or to eat.

but

Yang Guoliang, who was two rooms away from each of them, still had the appearance of abstaining from meat, vegetarian and soup. Facing a table of delicious food, he sat upright without touching a dish. He hesitated and struggled for a long time on his face. After all, he didn't open his mouth, he just poured himself cup after cup of hot tea, drinking tea, drinking tea, drinking tea.

  Come, come, drink this cup, and have another cup.

  The tea in the palace is just delicious, and you can’t stop drinking it

  While drinking tea, Yang Guoliang, who was drinking tea, was heartbroken, and just kept drinking like this, drinking one cup after another.

  The waiter in the room also "did not" realize that he forgot to set chopsticks for Yang Guoliang, and just watched Yang Guoliang drink one cup after another.
