A knife in love

After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and yelled, and he led the way first, and brought Ye Fengchun, Li Qiufeng, and Murong Danyan into the Mingguang Palace.I saw countless candles lit in the hall, illuminating the whole hall as bright as day.There is a table of banquets in the center of the hall. Although there are not many dishes, each dish is quite delicate.More than a dozen servants lined up on the left and right, and when they saw Mao Shusheng and others entering the hall, they bowed in unison to salute.Mao Shusheng didn't even look at the servants, but just waved his right hand twice, the servants hurried to the table, moved the chairs away silently, asked everyone to sit down, and then filled the cups in front of them After drinking the fine wine, he bowed his body and retreated from Zhang Xu, one by one standing with hands down, not even daring to let out a sound.

Mao Shusheng stood up, holding the wine glass in his right hand, and said to Ye Fengchun, Li Qiufeng, and Murong Danyan with a smile: "Mao prepares a little wine, and I will welcome Master Ye, Mr. Li and Mr. Mu. Please don't have any wine." No restraint at all, you can drink to your heart's content. After drinking and eating, Mao took the three of them to the secret road to inspect, to show the sincerity of the alliance between Bailian Villa and Songhe Tower. When we work together to defeat the old Puben Thief, Mao will definitely hold another banquet to show his gratitude!"

After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass, held the empty glass in both hands, and said "please" to Ye Fengchun, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan.Ye Fengchun laughed dryly twice, and said in his mouth: "Around noon, the owner of the villa sent someone to bring us delicious food and wine. Ye Mou, Mr. Li and Mr. Mu drank a lot, and everyone drank a few more glasses. Sometimes I still feel a little top-heavy, so Ye can't drink any more of this glass of wine. After we inspect the secret passage, I think the alcohol has passed. At that time, Ye will have a few more drinks with the owner of the village. .”

When Mao Shusheng heard what Ye Fengchun said, his heart was clear, knowing that Ye Fengchun was worried that he would be poisoned in the wine, so he excused himself.Thinking of this, Mao Shusheng laughed, and said: "If the three of you can't drink too much, it's okay to drink a sip or two each?"

After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, he turned his head and said a few Fusang words loudly to the servants standing behind him with their hands down.Two of the servants agreed, turned around and ran towards the inner hall. A moment later, one servant was holding a large bowl in both hands, and the other servant was holding a lacquer plate with three cups in both hands. Quickly walked back to the lobby.Seeing two servants put the large bowl and lacquer plate on the table, one of the servants poured all the wine in the jug into the bowl, and then bowed and backed away with the other servant.

After the two servants retreated, Mao Shusheng held up the big bowl with both hands, filled the three cups on the lacquer plate with wine, and filled his own wine glass. Yan said: "Mao is the first to do it out of respect, the shopkeeper Ye Da and the two young masters are free to do whatever they want."

After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun saw that Mao Shusheng acted like this, and knew that he wanted everyone to know that he hadn't poisoned his drink.If it were someone else, seeing Mao Shusheng pouring wine into a large bowl, he drank another glass first, thinking that the wine was not poisonous, and because of his face, he would definitely drink up the wine in the glass.It's just that Ye Fengchun worked as an errand in Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, and had a lot of dealings with old officials and black and white figures in the world. After arriving in Fusang Kingdom, he worked hard for more than ten years. in the eyes.The situation is critical now, and he will not take risks easily in order to save his face, so even though Shusheng Mao drank the wine in his glass, Ye Fengchun just smiled and refused to pick up the glass at all.Seeing Ye Fengchun's appearance, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that this person is really good, not only able to bear and let go of things, but also not easily bewitched by others.Having him come forward to deal with Mao Shusheng saved us a lot of energy.

Seeing that Ye Fengchun didn't give Mao Shusheng face, Monk Tonghai was quite unhappy, and was about to say a few words to cover up Mao Shusheng's embarrassment, when Mao Shusheng laughed, and said in his mouth: "Master Ye is very witty, don't worry about it." Tired of fame, he is really a good man. Since the three of you can't drink enough, how many mouthfuls of these dishes can you eat?"

After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, he picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and then said: "This steamed fish tastes good, you three might as well try it."

Ye Fengchun nodded after hearing Mao Shusheng's words, put his chopsticks into the plate, picked up a piece of fish and ate it, then turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan: "My lord is right, this plate of steamed fish It is very delicious, the two young masters must taste it."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan knew that Ye Fengchun was worried about being poisoned, so they made up their minds to only take the dishes that Mao Shusheng had eaten, and they were secretly amused.Just in order not to embarrass Mao Shusheng, the two had no choice but to hold back their smiles, and after making room for each other, they each picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in their mouths.Li Qiufeng lived in seclusion in Shushan with his master since he was a child, and his three meals on weekdays were simple tea and light rice, and he didn't pay attention to whether the food was exquisite or delicious.Later, he went to work in Fusi Yamen, Jinyiwei South Town, the capital city. Although there are countless delicacies in the capital city, he didn't care about it, he just wanted to satisfy his hunger and fill his stomach.Putting the fish in your mouth to chew at this time is no different from the usual dishes you eat on weekdays.Murong Danyan grew up in Murong Villa since she was a child, and Hangzhou City is the most affluent place in the world, where rich merchants gather, so she is very proficient in good and bad dishes.At this time, after putting a piece of fish in her mouth and chewing, she thought to herself that although this plate of steamed fish was delicious, it was just that the sauce was used too much, which covered most of the good taste of the fish itself, which was a fly in the ointment.Although Mao Shusheng was a high-ranking official in the court of Fusang Kingdom, he was very picky about food and drink, but Fusang Kingdom was an overseas barbarian country after all, and in terms of food, it could not be compared with the Middle Kingdom.

After that, every time Mao Shusheng ate a dish, he would recommend it to Ye Fengchun, Li Qiufeng, and Murong Danyan.Ye Fengchun, Li Qiufeng, and Murong Danyan drew gourds in the same way, and specially picked the dishes that Mao Shusheng had eaten.It's just that Murong Danyan hates Mao Shusheng and Ye Fengchun. Every time he stretches out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, he either picks up the place where Mao and Ye's chopsticks haven't touched, or picks up the meat and vegetables that Li Qiufeng's chopsticks touched. in the mouth.Although Mao Shusheng knew that the three of them were worried that he might poison the dishes, that's why they acted like this, but he didn't tell the truth, on the contrary, he was more attentive and kept explaining the subtleties of each dish to the three of them.Although Ye Fengchun is not a chef, but he is the owner of Songhe Tower, and he is used to delicacies from mountains and seas. He listened to Mao Shusheng's eloquent talk, and he felt quite contemptuous in his heart. The chef in Helou made such a banquet, I must beat him up!
