Chinese dining table

Tang people are all damn optimists.

When Li Shen walked slowly towards Jinchang Fang with the crowd, he didn't know what was wrong, so he took out a jade flute from his sleeve and played it, dancing while playing.

The low voice is crisp and lively, sometimes like birds chirping, sometimes like a shepherd boy returning late.

With the sound of the flute and the dance, the people who had lined up to enter Jinchang Fang were less anxious. Some with big buttocks also wriggled along with Li Shen, and Li Hong laughed out loud.

Laughter is contagious, not to mention that this is a festival in itself, so even Yun Chu nodded and twisted his buttocks in the crowd.

On New Year's Eve in the Tang Dynasty, there is a custom of keeping the year old, but this is because the adults stay up all night to prevent the Nian beast from taking their children away.

Judging from the crowded appearance of Jinchangfang today, let alone Nian beasts dare not come, even demons and ghosts dare not come.

Ever since the Great Tang beat the Western Regions so that no one dared to show their faces, and later completely pacified the Liaodong Three Kingdoms, the entertainment industry of the Great Tang has been extremely prosperous today.

In the past, five or six dancers dancing together was a large-scale dance, but now it is not uncommon for hundreds of dancers to dance together.

However, what really drives Chang'an people crazy is the fried chicken that exudes a strong aroma of herbs.

The origin of this kind of fried chicken is roast chicken. Later, it was found that the production speed of roast chicken could not keep up with the sales. Then I thought of fried chicken. It turned out that it took a lot of time to fry raw chicken.

Then the old god Sun appeared, and the old man specially prepared some herbs that nourish yin and nourish yang. First, he cooked the chicken with these herbs that exude a strong fragrance, then took them out and dried them, and finally put them in boiling oil. Deep-fry in the pan, and wait for the hot oil to fry the skin of the chicken until it is browned, then it can be taken out for sale.

Therefore, this kind of chicken has a famous name called fairy chicken.

This kind of chicken became popular in Chang'an as soon as it appeared, so that when the old gods ate this kind of chicken, they were curious about how it was made delicious.

Anyone with a little money in their pockets will definitely buy a fairy chicken just like they used to buy roast chickens.

The few people who were unwilling to eat at the royal banquet were overwhelmed by the smell of fried chicken, and immediately took the initiative to pay for a chicken to eat.

Yun Chu took a look at the dark oil in the fried chicken, not wanting to get cancer in Datang, so he voluntarily gave up.

Li Hong originally wanted to eat it, but when he saw that Yunchu didn't move it, he knew that it was not good for life, so he didn't move it, but allowed his four guards to buy a few to eat.

They don't care about that anyway.

Li Hong was very familiar with Jinchangfang. When he passed by a small shop selling ice cream, he was indifferent to the colorful ice cream that the store put on the bright side, but asked the store to make him an ugly mung bean ice cream.

Because it was a benefit given by His Royal Highness, the guards all took colorful ones.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Datang took a candied haws from the handle of the candied haws seller. He didn’t give any money, but just said naha, and the candied haws seller ran away, afraid that they would continue to take it for nothing. No money.

Pei Xingjian obviously found that since entering Jinchang Fang, His Royal Highness, the mature and prudent Crown Prince who was always praised by the great Confucians, immediately turned into a somewhat mischievous child.

Even the two very honest flower bears squatting on the side of the road not looking to provoke anyone, Li Hong would go to grab the bear's ears and kick the bear's butt by the way, but when the flower bear raised its two paws to eat At that time, he ran away.

Xue Rengui followed Yunchu to look at Tongban's bookstall for a while, and was immediately blushed by the beauties in the album.

Pei Xingjian opened a scroll, and a naked, life-sized beauty painting appeared in front of everyone.

Under the eyes of everyone, Pei Xingjian felt that his face was on fire. He frantically rolled up the scroll and was about to get angry when he threw it on the stall. However, the book stall clerk whispered beside him: "There are still pictures of two people. Do you want to see it?"

So, amidst Pei Xingjian's scolding, the clerk smiled all over his face, apologizing, collecting money, and packing the paintings that Pei Xingjian bought.

Before it was delivered to Pei Xingjian, the package was opened by Rou Rou and Di Renjie.

Big Winter didn't put down the folding fan he got from Yunchu, he pointed at the portrait of the beauty on it and said, "Actually, they are all portraits of real people, don't you want to meet the real person?"

Pei Xingjian quickly wrapped up the scroll and threw it to his followers, "None of your business."

Wenrou grabbed Pei Xingjian's sleeve and said: "Brother Pei now works in the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Examination of Merit, and my younger brother has not made any progress in this official position for many years, and Brother Pei will not think of a way for my younger brother."

Pei Xingjian sneered and said, "In five years, a supervisory censor from the eighth rank, now sits firmly in the sixth rank of Wannian county magistrate, what do you want?"

He smiled softly and said, "Isn't the county magistrate of Chang'an County vacant..."

Pei Xingjian said angrily: "The county magistrate of Jing County needs His Majesty to speak, please forgive a certain family for being helpless."

"Look at your picture of a naked butt beauty, it's useless at all." No benefit, Rou Rou immediately changed his face.

Di Renjie didn't leave, but kept looking at Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian said: "You have become a person who hates gods and ghosts in Dali Temple. If you want to become the young minister of Dali Temple, you must first curry favor with your superiors. At least you need someone to recommend you before you can come to me." Bai\./ degree\./search\./search\.7\./4\./text\./learn\./network\./first\./post

Di Renjie spat and said, "A nest of snakes and rats, I have made so many meritorious deeds and solved so many big cases, but the result is nothing compared to General Xin Mao's words, such a villain, everyone can punish him .”

Pei Xingjian roared angrily: "Lao Tzu is a doctor of the Ministry of Officials, not a minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Xue Rengui, who had been walking with Pei Xingjian all this time, said, "You have to think of a way, or the next time we meet, I don't know how to hurt you."

Pei Xingjian said indignantly: "I said that those who are above the seventh rank don't count... Hey, tell me, is this their scheme?"

Xue Rengui said: "It seems that Yunchu and the others are planning to promote a large number of small officials below the seventh rank, but what do they promote small officials for? Wannian County doesn't have so many seats for those small officials."

Pei Xingjian thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Yunchu, the idiot, should be plotting against Chang'an County, planning to take over Chang'an County as a proxy... No, there is also Hu County, during the last Fengyukou incident, The county magistrate of Hu County committed suicide, and the Ministry of Officials has not yet sent anyone...Old Xue, what do you think Yunchu is going to do? I understand that he is plotting Chang'an County, but plotting Hu County is not right."

Xue Rengui laughed and said: "In the past, the king of Han asked Han Xin to be his commander, and asked, "How many troops can the general lead?" Han Xin replied, "The more soldiers Han Xin has, the better."

From the looks of it, Wannian County plus Chang'an County couldn't satisfy Yunchu's appetite. "

Pei Xingjian shook his head and said, "That's not right, Yunchu won't have such big ambitions, he's like a watchdog, he won't create a territory for himself that the boss can't see."

Xue Rengui laughed and said, "Let's go to Yun's and ask, don't we know? You people often guess and guess, and you don't feel too tired to panic."

After all, Xue Rengui packed a bunch of toys at a toy stall, carried them himself, and went straight to Yun's house.

There is no moon on New Year’s Eve, so the sky is black and pure, but the stars all over the sky are surprisingly bright and twinkling, the sky is like a piece of black silk cloth studded with precious stones...

The most famous giant Kongming lantern in Jinchangfang did not go up because it was not at midnight. I heard that Jinchangfang made a huge moon-shaped Kongming lantern this year, and I don’t know what it will look like after it is raised.

After entering the Yun's house, the two of them found that the Yun's house was full of people shouting and braying, with the neighing of a donkey in between.

Li Hong was wearing a set of horse-shaped clothes made of bamboo strips and silk cloth, and was braying against Naha who was wearing donkey-like clothes.

It's just that on Li Hong's back is Li Si, who is also wearing an armor-like shirt made of silk, and on Naha's back is Wen Wen, who is also wearing an armor-like shirt.

It looks like a war is going on.

Around them, there are still several little ones standing, waiting for their sisters and brothers to have fun before it is their turn to go up.

The hall of Yun’s house was brightly lit, and more than a dozen thick whale oil candles were burning fiercely, like torches, not to mention not having much smoke, but also resistant to burning.

A group of women in costumes were playing cards in the hall. Although the door of the hall was open, they couldn't feel the slightest chill.

Li Shen unconsciously stood behind Princess Ji with a teapot in his hand and pointed, but he often drew Princess Ji's eyes.

As soon as Xue Rengui came in, his wife Liu Shi stood up to welcome her husband, Xue Rengui waved his hand and said, "Madam has worked hard for a year, now you should take it easy, don't worry about me."

After speaking, seeing that there were not too many golden melon seeds in front of Liu Shi, he grabbed a handful from the purse and put it in front of Liu Shi, smiling and said to the other women: "Play more happily."

As soon as the words fell, Gongsun, who was wearing Jianwu clothes and a long silk skirt around his neck, said to Pei Xingjian: "I have no money."

Pei Xingjian smiled awkwardly, and threw the entire money bag to Gongsun. Gongsun grabbed it casually, slapped the money bag on the table and said, "I have money, this time, I am the landlord."

In fact, Pei Xingjian really hoped that his wife Kudi could also join this group, but it was a pity that some people didn't want it. He would rather let the woman Gongsun join in than the barbarian wife Kudi who Wu Mei bestowed on him.

I still feel very guilty about Gongsun Pei Xingjian. I finally boiled his original partner, Mrs. Lu, to death. I still wanted to take Gongsun into the family. Unexpectedly, Wu Mei married a barbarian female official beside her to him. , now Gongsun's desire to enter the Pei family has completely come to naught.

Li Shen opened his arms, looking at the children playing in the yard, and at the women playing cards in full swing.

Then look at Yun Chu who is making pots of tea, Wen Wen and Di Renjie who are bickering, Xue Rengui who is smiling, and Pei Xingjian who is embarrassed.

He let out a long breath, and asked the servant girl for pens and inks, and prepared to draw down the picture of tonight's banquet, which should be handed down to the world.

see you tomorrow
