Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 99 Whole Pig Banquet

After Wang Pingan made a cold pig's ear, Li Tai, Li Lizhi and Lu Songjun came to see if the food he made was ready to serve.

"Brother Tai, Uncle Lu, why are you here?" Wang Pingan asked.

"It's not that Lizhi is clamoring to come and see how you cook." Li Tai said.

"No way, it's clearly the fourth brother, you want to eat it first." Li Lizhi said.

Wang Pingan looked helplessly at the shy Li Tai, and said, "Can't you wait until evening to eat? Now that you have finished eating, I have to burn again. I want to kill me from exhaustion."

Li Tai had already picked up the chopsticks, happily picked up a piece of pig's ear and was about to put it in his mouth, but when he heard Wang Ping'an's words, he put down the pig's ear resentfully.

"Ping'an, although Lizhi and I have had a whole pig feast, the taste is really memorable and unforgettable." Li Tai recalled.

"Really, since you want to eat it so much, then you go hire a chef. I'll teach him how to make a whole pig feast right now, and let him cook it for you every day."

"Yes, why didn't I think of it? It's a good idea. I'm going to invite a chef to learn the whole pig feast." Li Tai said and left.

Wang Pingan saw that Li Tai had gone far away, turned to Li Lizhi and said, "Lizhi, the oily smoke here is not good for girls' skin, you can eat it at night and I'm calling you."

"What's wrong with cooking fumes?" Li Lizhi asked innocently.

"It will clog your pores, increase your pores, and cause pockmarks on your face. Think about it, how do you feel about having pores as big as pockmarks on your naturally beautiful face?" Wang Pingan intentionally Speak louder.

"Ah~~~ Don't say it, don't say it." Li Lizhi left as if fleeing.

Wang Pingan saw that Li Tai and Li Lizhi had left, and only Lu Songjun was left. He glanced sideways at Lu Songjun and said, "Uncle Lu, Brother Tai and Lizhi have already left, are you planning to stay to help my little nephew?" ?”

"Ahem." Lu Songjun coughed in embarrassment and said, "No, I'm going to protect His Royal Highness King Wei now, and I'll help you next time."

Wang Pingan saw that everyone who was an eyesore had disappeared, and turned to the chefs again and said, "The cold pig's ears have been finished. You all did a great job. Next, I will make white-cut pig's tongue for everyone."

"First, the pig's ears..."

……

In the following time, Wang Pingan not only taught everyone the cold dishes made with pork, but also taught everyone the cooked food of the whole pig banquet.In the middle, Li Tai was also hired, and Wang Ping'an also taught him the dishes of the whole pig banquet without hesitation.

After Li Tai handed over the chef to Wang Ping'an, he forcibly took a plate of cold pig's ears, and ran away cheerfully amidst Wang Ping'an's roar behind him.

Every chef has to cook ten tables of all-pig banquet dishes, which tests each chef's knife skills, turning spoons, heat, etc. Although they are very tired, they don't feel tired, and their faces are full of happiness. smile.

The sky also gradually darkened, and the dishes of the whole pig banquet were released one by one, and the number of guests of the whole pig banquet gradually increased, and each table began to be filled with people.

When the guests arrived, the busiest people were not Wang Ping'an, but Li Tai, Li Tai's staff and housekeepers, and even Li Tai's servants and maids were very busy, serving tea and water, leading the way and serving dishes Wait.

"Master Li, you come too."

"That is, Mr. Lu is affectionate, so why not come."

The two officials who had arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion greeted each other after seeing each other.

"I really don't know why the governor would invite us to eat pork, which even ordinary people don't know how to eat."

"That's right, Mr. Qian, how could a rich businessman like us eat that kind of thing?"

The other two businessmen came to the governor's mansion as a sworn oath. They didn't look down on such an unpalatable food as pork.They complained as they walked on the road, but they didn't dare to lose face to Lu Songjun.

As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, not to mention that in the Tang Dynasty with clear class hierarchy, their status ranked last among scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.

"Lord Inspector is really good, he still remembers us ordinary people."

"Yes, it is a blessing for us common people to have such a good governor in Luoyang."

"Lao Cai is right. The governor invited me to a whole pig feast, because he has us people in his heart."

Several common people came to the governor's mansion walking and chatting in groups.

There were more and more people at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, the housekeepers and staff members of the Governor's Mansion were all busy at the gate, and Lu Songjun was receiving those officials in the living room.

Wang Ping'an had cooked all the dishes for the whole pig banquet at this time. Wang Ping'an was tired like a dog, smelling of oily smoke all over his body. For this reason, Wang Ping'an asked someone to boil hot water for him. He wanted to take a warm bath comfortably. He didn't want to take a bath, and he didn't care about the hundred tables of banquets outside.

"Everyone, my purpose this time is to increase the income of the common people, and let you taste what is called real delicacy." Lu Songjun was sitting at the head of the living room and said.

"Dengdengdeng..."

A servant ran to the living room and saluted Lu Songjun: "My lord, all the guests have arrived, and they are all waiting for you to take your seat."

"The old man understands, you go down first." Lu Songjun said to the officials present: "My lords, please attend with me."

"Whoa..."

All the officials stood up and cupped their hands and said, "Yes, my lord."

Lu Songjun took the lead, followed by officials from Luoyang, and the official uniforms were all officials with certain real power.

As soon as Lu Songjun appeared, those who were sitting or standing stood up and saluted: "See you, my lord."

"Everyone is welcome, please sit down." Lu Songjun spoke in a calm manner, but he was very authoritative, and he continued: "This time, the governor is inviting everyone to a whole pig feast. There are two purposes. , one is for everyone to eat delicious pork, and the other is for the people who raise pigs to have an extra income in the future. The business of earning a living. Well, I won’t say much anymore, let’s sit down and eat together, it doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”

"Thank you sir." Everyone thanked in unison, the voice was deafening and resounded through the world.

After everyone sat down, apart from the fifty tables composed of well-known ordinary people who began to pick up food, the other fifty tables composed of wealthy businessmen just held up their wine glasses to drink, and they didn't look down on them at all. For the meat dishes on the table, even the officials at Lu Songjun's table didn't move their chopsticks except for Lu Songjun.

"Good, good, delicious!!!"

After taking a bite of braised lion's head for the first appetizer, he screamed loudly because of the deliciousness.

Immediately afterwards, the other fifty tables of rich businessmen and officials were stunned. The fifty tables composed of common people, after hearing the first one's delicious sound, they sighed one after another.

"Delicious, so delicious."

"What else can I eat in the future?"

"I just took a bite of this, why is it gone?"

There were more and more exclamations, and the scene, which was originally a harmonious scene, turned into a scene where you compete for each other.

"Let go, this is what I set my sights on first, and it's also what I stretched out my chopsticks first."

"Nonsense, the first thing you see is yours, the first thing you reach out is yours, then all the dishes on this table are mine, because I walked into the governor's mansion before you, and sat down before you , saw it before you, stretched out the chopsticks before you, and caught it before you in the end."

"You, you are simply unreasonable and unreasonable. I won't tell you anymore. Anyway, I don't intend to let you."

Two friends at the same table are competing for a piece of Dongpo meat, which can be seen on almost every table.

After the wealthy businessmen and officials saw it, they looked at these common people with disdain, and thought to themselves, "Idiots are fools, and a meal made of cheap meat can even make you fight endlessly."

Basically everyone has this idea, of course there are exceptions, such as Wang Shouren, the owner of Wangji Rice Grain Store, Li Yi, the head of Yunshan Academy, and Lu Songjun and some people who have heard them say it a long time ago. Friends, you have already started to move your chopsticks at this time.

If there is one, there are two, if there are two, there are three, and if there are three, there are all.

In addition, the [-] tables composed of wealthy businessmen and officials also started to make noise. There are endless fights between you and me, and it is more serious than the people's group. For them, there are many people who have eaten delicious food, but such delicious food is still the first. once.

The quarrel outside did not affect Li Tai's meal at all. Li Tai and Li Lizhi and their two brothers and sisters ate together with Madam Lu and his children in the inner courtyard. They were a small stove arranged by Wang Pingan for them.

The few of them ate very happily, there were too many dishes, and there was no competition between you and me.

"Where did Ping An go? No one was seen after the banquet." Li Lizhi asked, biting her chopsticks.

"Don't worry about that kid, I guess that kid is sleeping late now." Li Tai said heartlessly while stuffing some Dongpo pork with vegetables into his mouth.

"Aqiu."

Wang Pingan, who was taking a bath, rubbed his nose and whispered, "Who, call me behind your back again."

Lu Songjun, who was at the scene, watched the scrambling, quarreling and cursing voices, as well as the constant evaluation of the dishes. He lamented why such a good dish didn’t know that pork was so delicious before, and why he didn’t know it before. Know that pork is so delicious.

Lu Songjun looked at the officials on his table, all eating like they had never eaten delicious food in eight lifetimes, looking at them with contempt and disdain.

Little did he know that when he ate the whole pig feast for the first time, the appearance was even uglier. He almost threw away the chopsticks and ate it directly with his hands. The appearance was shocking.

The scene of the whole pig banquet was very surprising. There was no sound of eating, talking, sleeping, cursing, shouting, and howling. There were all kinds of sounds. The scene was like a battlefield. As long as you start slowly At one point, the delicious food is no longer his own.
