Chapter 484 484. Dishes
Day two.

Zhu Xiuyuan slept until dawn.

My mission today and tomorrow is to go out and visit.

There are only a few people who are good friends with Jiangcheng Bofu. They are so few that they can probably be visited in half a day.

So Zhu Xiuyuan was lazy and slept until he woke up naturally.

After washing and changing clothes, eating, and then walking around the brewery, time has come to the beginning of the year.

About nine or ten o'clock in the morning.

Time to go.

So Zhu Xiuyuan told Yan Dashan to prepare the carriage and horses for the trip, while he returned to the room and prepared to change into clothes for going out.

"Master, there is a visitor. King Zhenze and his heir, Mr. Liu, are waiting outside the gate of the mansion." Zhu Xiuyuan had just finished changing his clothes and just walked out of the room when he received a report from his servants.

"Prince and Brother Liu are here? Come on, please come to the flower hall to see the guests...Forget it, I'll greet them in person!" At that moment, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't care about traveling and rushed to the door of the mansion. He saw King Zhenze and Liu Wencai waiting there. That.

"Oh, the prince and brother Liu are here. The humble abode is really full of splendor. I didn't come far enough to welcome them, so please forgive me." Zhu Xiuyuan walked out quickly to greet them, smiling and holding his hands in his arms.

"Uncle Zhu!" King Zhenze raised his belly and laughed loudly, "I am a little bit a bit abrupt when I come to visit you at this time. Look at Uncle Zhu's clothes... maybe I missed Uncle Zhu's visit. journey?"

"What did the prince say? The official is indeed planning to go out to visit, but the person he is visiting is the prince! But he didn't expect the prince to arrive in person. The official is really... scared!"

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan was a little speechless.

King Zhenze, as a prince, is also considered to be one of the highest-ranking people in the court. If he wants to visit, others should visit him. How can he come to visit others.

"Hahaha……"

King Zhenze laughed heartily, his whole shy general's belly trembling.

He waved his "starry" big palm and patted Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder.

It seems that they are treated as nephews.

"I'm not afraid of Uncle Zhu's jokes. I and Quanzi came uninvited and rashly, but actually they wanted to drink those two kinds of fine wines, haha..." King Zhenze laughed again to cover up his embarrassment.

"Yesterday, at the New Year's Day banquet, the wine was not enough for me to stuff my teeth..."

At this time, Liu Wencai also held up his hands and smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, I told you yesterday that people will definitely come to bother Brother Zhu in the future, just because I'm afraid you won't be happy, Brother Zhu."

"What did the prince and Brother Liu say? Haha, the drinks are enough, please come in!" Zhu Xiuyuan laughed, welcomed the two of them to the flower hall of the main house, and ordered to serve tea to entertain the guests.

By accompanying the guests in the flower hall, he stopped thinking about going out to visit today. Anyway, from today until the eighth or ninth day of the first lunar month, you can go out to visit, so there is no rush for this moment.

At the request of King Zhenze and Liu Wencai, Zhu Xiuyuan ordered his servants to bring Zhenjiu and Jade wine.

There are dozens of pots, placed wherever they want, for the two of them to taste at will.

The brewery in Fuzhong has expanded its scale a few days ago, and its single-day output is already extremely high.

Otherwise, we would not be able to meet the demand for the New Year’s Day banquet.

So now, there is no shortage of fine wine in his house, and they can drink whatever they want.

The father and son, King Zhenze and Liu Wencai, were polite with their mouths but not with their hands. They would pour the wine themselves when they picked up the flask...

"Sir, King Poyang and the Crown Prince of Poyang are here to visit." After a while, the servants came to report again.

Zhu Xiuyuan, King Zhenze, and Liu Wencai were all slightly stunned.

King Poyang and Liu Xun are here too?
"Haha, you're good to come. He's here just in time to have a few drinks with me." King Zhenze was very happy.

"My lord, Brother Liu, let the officials leave the mansion to welcome the King of Poyang, please wait here for a while." Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands.

"Go!" King Zhenze waved his hand and drank another glass of wine.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhu Xiuyuan personally welcomed King Poyang and Liu Xun, and also came to the flower hall of the main residence to meet King Zhenze and the others.

When the two kings met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

Liu Xun and Liu Wencai had a good relationship, and they had a lot to talk about.

So for a while, the flower hall was very lively, and it felt like it was crowded with guests.

After the greetings were completed, the two princes sat together, drinking wine and eating the freshly served side dishes, chatting about their topics.

Zhu Xiuyuan stayed with Liu Wencai and Liu Xun.

They were also chatting while drinking, but it was just him and Liu Wencai talking.

Liu Xun was so focused on drinking that he didn't care about them at all.

Suddenly, Liu Xun drank five or six glasses of wine in a row, put down his glass, smacked his lips, and shook his head slightly.

"Why does Liu Daxia shake his head?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"Brother Zhu, you should give Liu Daxia a big bowl, so that he can drink happily." Liu Wencai said with a smile.

"Come here, bring me a big bucket!" Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand and ordered the servants waiting at his side.

After receiving the order, the servant said "yes" and immediately went to get the big bowl.

Liu Xun didn't stop him. He poured another glass, pinched it with two fingers, and raised it to his mouth.

But he looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and said: "The wine in Brother Zhu's house is naturally good, but this Zhenjiu... is not as tasty as the original wine from a few days ago. I wonder, Brother Zhu, can you get some jars of original wine?"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Liu Wencai looked at each other, feeling strange, and then looked at Liu Xun together.

Is there anything wrong with this person? He actually likes to drink that kind of raw wine that is very refreshing to the head? !

However, the visitor was a guest. After Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Bring a few jars of original wine."

After a while, the big bowl was brought, and the original wine was also brought.

Then Liu Xun directly picked up the wine jar, filled it with a large amount of Dou Wan, held it in both hands, and drank it hard...

Zhu Xiuyuan and Liu Wencai looked on, trembling in their hearts. This Liu Xun was really an alcoholic, and he was also an alcoholic with a unique taste!
Just at this time, the servants of the mansion came to report again, saying that King Linhai and Shao Sikou had arrived hand in hand!
Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. He said goodbye to all the guests for a while and went to the door of the mansion in person. He also invited King Linhai and Shaosikou to the flower hall.

When everyone meets, it is natural to have some pleasantries.

Finally, King Linhai joined the circle of King Zhenze and King Poyang. The three princes, with equal status, sat together to drink and chat.

Shao Si Kou joined Zhu Xiuyuan. He was also an alcoholic. Soon, he and Liu Xun became brothers.

The two of you had a bowl and I had a drink, and they drank happily.

After a while, the servants of the mansion came to report again, saying that this time a group of guests came...

There were more guests this time, including Yang Tingyu's cronies, King Zhongshan's cronies, and officials under the rule of his father-in-law, Dong Cheng.

A total of 50 people!

These people had been to the uncle's house as guests more than ten days ago, so they were familiar with each other.

Zhu Xiuyuan welcomed them to the front hall of the main house without going to the flower hall.

Because there are too many of them, and moreover, the status of these people is very different from King Zhenze and others, so they are not suitable to stay in the same place.

After entertaining these guests, Zhu Xiuyuan thought in his heart: "Now it's approaching noon, and they come to my house as guests, so naturally they want to keep a meal. Then... why not entertain them with new dishes! Let them experience it in advance, and wait for them to go home Finally, I can help with publicity!" The more Zhu Xiuyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good method.

Yesterday, he discussed this issue with Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu in the flower hall of the main residence.

He doesn't yet have a good idea on how to make new dishes famous.

Nowadays, when sleepiness meets pillow, these customers are the perfect candidates for him to promote new dishes!
The plan was decided, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately walked to Dong Shuyu's yard.

I am going to ask her to "come out" and get this done.

Due to the preparation of the restaurant, Dong Shuyu has personally instructed dozens of chefs. These chefs will be sent to the new restaurant to take charge of the kitchen in the future.

Today's banquet of new dishes is just the right time for them to practice their skills.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan walked to the door of Dong Shuyu's yard and knocked on the door.

Squeak!

The courtyard door opened, and it was the maid Chun Xue who opened the door.

"Uncle!" Haruyue bowed and saluted, then shouted into the yard: "Uncle is here!"

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan rarely came to Dong Shuyu's yard. It could also be said that he had never been there at all since she moved in.

Because she is the aunt after all and needs to avoid suspicion.

But after last night's discussion, even Dong Cheng had no objections to the matter and was still working on it.

In other words, he can safely and boldly pursue Dong Shuyu, and he can regard it as a taboo.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't care and stepped directly into the courtyard.

Zhu Xiuyuan followed Chun Xue's footsteps, looking around all the way to the living room in the yard.

Walking into the living room, I saw Dong Shuyu standing there.

It must have been Haruyuki's loud shout that alerted her and made her come to the living room early.

"Xiu Yuan is here, please sit down."

Dong Shuyu asked Zhu Xiuyuan to sit down, and Dongmei automatically brought tea.

Zhu Xiuyuan drank tea casually, put down the teacup, and took advantage of the opportunity to look at Dong Shuyu.

I saw that she was wearing a pure white dress today with a belt, which outlined her long figure.

Under the long skirt, her legs are close together, and her outline is vaguely visible.

The skirt reaches the floor, and there is a pair of embroidered shoes at the bottom, revealing two small toes.

Her whole outfit gives people a refreshing and gentle feeling, which is very pleasant and makes people feel close to her.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the person, and finally moved his eyes upward to meet Dong Shuyu's eyes.

As soon as his eyes touched, Dong Shuyu immediately turned his head and looked away.

After what happened last night, Dong Shuyu became a lot shy. In the past, she could still look at him for a long time, but now, as soon as their eyes touched, she turned her head away.

Maybe Zhu Xiuyuan didn't even know that the way he stared at others was a look of carefully appreciating his own belongings.

Strong possessiveness, with a biting aggression.

This kind of look would be strange if it didn't scare other girls.

"Xiuyuan is here, but do you have anything to tell me?" Dong Shuyu asked unnaturally with a slightly red face.

"It's not a big deal..."

At that moment, Zhu Xiuyuan told everything about his thoughts.

When it came to business matters, Dong Shuyu became much calmer.

She thought about it for a moment and then agreed with this idea.

Without further ado, Dong Shuyu immediately went out to arrange the matter.

Zhu Xiuyuan also left Dong Shuyu's courtyard and walked around the front hall first, telling the forty or fifty guests about leaving food. The guests were polite but agreed.

Then, he went to the back hall and told the three princes, two princes, and Shao Sikou about leaving food.

And said that he would treat them with a new style of cuisine.

However, the guests don't really care about the new dishes. As long as they have good wine to drink, that's enough...

Soon, the time was approaching noon.

Zhu Xiuyuan temporarily left the flower hall and came outside. Dong Shuyu's maid Chunxue was already waiting here.

"How's it going with Shuyu? Is there any problem?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"My aunt, please rest assured. The young lady will make the arrangements herself, so there will be no problem. I am here to inform my aunt that the food will be served in about a quarter of an hour. Please be prepared," Haruyue said.

"Okay, I understand. You go back and tell Shuyu. After I am ready, I will send someone to inform you."

Spring and summer took the order and left.

Zhu Xiuyuan watched her leave. Just as he was about to return to the flower hall, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "A good son-in-law!"

But it turned out that his father-in-law, Dong Cheng, was here.

This morning, Dong Cheng got up very early and went out to visit.

He returned to the mansion not long ago and heard about what happened in the mansion, so he hurried over.

Zhu Xiuyuan turned around and chatted with Dong Cheng for a few words. Then, the two of them split up. Zhu Xiuyuan went to the flower hall, while Dong Cheng went to the front hall.

Entertain guests in the two halls respectively.

Set up tables and chairs and invite guests to sit and wait.

There is only one table in the flower hall. The three princes, Young Sikou, the two princes, and Zhu Xiuyuan are just big enough to sit.

In the front hall, there are several large tables, which are more crowded and more lively. Dong Cheng is entertaining guests there.

"Prince, Crown Prince, Mr. Young Sikou." Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The dishes we are serving to entertain guests in this humble house today are a brand-new dish. Even though you, princes, princes, and lords, hold high positions, you have the most precious delicacies in the world. There’s so much to enjoy. However, I promise you, your Excellency, have never even seen the new dishes that will come next.”

Seeing that Zhu Xiuyuan mentioned the new dishes again, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Well, since Uncle Zhu praises it so much, I'll wait for a while and have a good taste." King Linhai said with a smile.

"You have a good tone, hehe. That's right. When I was young, I also traveled around the world and tasted all the delicacies in the world. Therefore, there should be no delicacies that I have never seen before!" King Zhenze said coquettishly. The general shouted.

"Hey, don't talk too much. Since Uncle Zhu has repeatedly emphasized the delicacies in his house, I think that the delicacies must be very unique. For example, this wine, could you have imagined it before? Could there be such a fine wine in the world?" King Poyang smiled.

"Uh... Your Majesty is right..."

"Brother Liu, don't be too pretentious. How about those new dishes? Come and have a look." Liu Wencai shouted.

Snapped!
As soon as the words fell, Liu Wencai was slapped across the face, but it was his father, King Zhenze, who moved: "Shut up, my lord is talking, you don't have the right to interrupt!"
