After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 147 This dish is so delicious
The silver charcoal was quickly brought out, but it was not raw, but already lit.

The servants of the Cheng family brought in the lit charcoal basin.

The charcoal basin is also extraordinary. It is a gilt bronze charcoal basin with two ears and three legs. It is thick and noble. The three legs are lion-shaped legs with different shapes and look cute and naive.

Four charcoal basins were carried in and placed at the four corners of the hall. The servants of the Cheng family also put some pine branches and sawdust into the charcoal basins.

When the silver charcoal burns, the pine branches are smoked out with waves of refreshing rosin, making people feel like they are in a pine forest in the mountains.

The Cheng family servants retreated politely.

The hall soon became warm.

The guests chatted in twos and threes, but they talked about topics that Shang Hui could not insert.

He tried to join in at first, but the guests ignored him and no one gave him a message.

He had no choice but to quietly retreat to the side, acting as a laughing mascot next to him.

When the head of the Cheng family laughed, he also laughed, but he didn't know what they were laughing at.

And every time he laughed, the head of the Cheng family looked at each other and laughed louder.

Shang Hui suspected that they were making fun of him, but he had no evidence. He was on pins and needles and regretted holding this banquet.

Before the banquet even started, he had already been slapped in the face one after another. When the dishes were served, he would probably be completely disgusted, right?

At that time, all the guests would not move their chopsticks, and the dishes would be taken away as they were brought up. This would really make him feel ashamed!

However, what Shang Hui didn't know was that he would soon have his moment of glory.

The banquet officially began, and the chefs brought out the dishes one by one and placed them on the guests' tables.

The banquet was a dinner, but the guests had all had dinner at home, and no one wanted to eat at the banquet.

Don't even try to move the chopsticks.

The reason why they came to this banquet hosted by the country bumpkin magistrate was not to give him face. On the contrary, they came to see a good show.

Let's see what kind of joke this country bumpkin will make.

Their life is too boring, but they live by the jokes made by the country bumpkins.

"I heard that he originally planned to ask the chef from Huixianlou to take charge of the dishes, but the cook didn't come, so he temporarily replaced the cook with a teenage boy. Gee, what kind of dishes can a teenage boy cook? Come? I’m afraid even the dogs won’t eat it.”

"I've been to Huixian Restaurant. The chef Gao's cooking skills are pretty good among ordinary people, but compared with the chefs our family has trained for generations, they're far behind!"

"I asked people to hold back that cook. I was originally waiting to see how he would entertain us if he couldn't hire a cook. Unexpectedly, he actually invited a young man from Xianlou to come. Alas, I really don't know what to say. what's good."

"After all, I used to be a mud-legged person. I can't even read a single big Chinese character. What can I understand?"

"Look at him wearing a county magistrate's uniform, sitting there and looking at us eagerly. Does he look like a monkey that has stolen someone's clothes and put it on?"

"Hahaha, is he the one you're talking about wearing the monkey hat?"

"Why did you say it? It would be bad if he heard it."

"Does he know what it means to wear a crown while wearing a monkey's head? Look at him, he's still laughing with us. It's so funny, hahaha..."

The head of the Cheng family waited until these people had said enough, then scolded them lightly: "Hush, we are here to be guests after all. Even if the host is an illiterate country bumpkin, we can't lose the dignity of the family."

"Yes, that's what Brother Cheng said."

After the food was served, the maid withdrew.

The guests were chatting and laughing, but they didn't even move their chopsticks, as if they were just talking.

Shang Hui couldn't join them, so he simply broke the jar and started eating with his chopsticks.

There are so many good dishes, it would be a shame not to eat them.

In the past, he couldn't even eat a piece of meat if he wanted to.

"Hey, look at him, he looks like he has just been released from a starvation prison. He is devouring his food and looks very ugly."

"Vulgar! Rude! When I think that such a person actually became the magistrate of Qingyuan County and became my superior, I feel so depressed that I can't explain it."

"Is there any way? Who asked the emperor to come up with an official recommendation system that promotes filial piety and integrity, thinking that this way he can compete with our aristocratic family, haha."

"I don't care. It's just that the people of Qingyuan County are suffering because they have such an illiterate magistrate. Their hard days are still to come." "Have you noticed that these vegetables smell strange? And I’ve never seen these dishes before.”

"Haha, of course you haven't seen it before. How could you have seen the pig food eaten by country bumpkins?"

"Seeing the country bumpkins eating so deliciously makes me a little hungry. I'll try it with chopsticks."

"How is it? It tastes terrible, right? It's better to spit it out quickly to avoid being accidentally poisoned. Who knows if the cook added anything strange in it."

Zheng Tao, who was tasting the food, calmly swallowed the food in his mouth, "It's quite unpalatable, but my family's family motto is not to waste food. If you don't want to eat it, just give it to me."

His good friend Li Rui ordered the attendant without thinking: "Do you hear me? Hurry up and bring the dishes in front of me to Brother Zheng."

However, he soon regretted it.

"Brother Zheng, didn't you say these dishes are unpalatable? Why do I think you eat so deliciously?"

One chopstick after another, his mouth never stopped.

Just like the country bumpkin sitting in the boss's seat.

Zheng Tao is still stubborn: "I just don't want to waste food."

Li Rui didn't believe it, so he picked up a piece of meat from his table with chopsticks and tasted it.

With this taste, his Tianling Cap almost flew away.

This is too delicious!
He has never eaten such delicious food in his whole life!

The dishes made by the chefs who have been trained in the family for generations are simply weak compared to this dish!

"Brother Zheng! You lied to me!" Li Rui looked at his empty food table and complained angrily.

He didn't even keep any of such a delicious dish, and gave it all to Zheng!

In front of delicious food, he doesn't care about being polite or polite. He picks up the chopsticks and grabs the food.

Zheng Tao stretched out his arms to block the meal, and made his chopsticks fly up, trying to put all the food in front of him into his mouth.

The two people's behavior of grabbing food quickly attracted the attention of others.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Li, what are you two doing?"

Someone asked very puzzledly.

It’s just a few dishes, is there any need to fight with fists and kicks?It's not some magical delicacy, just pure nectar.

Li Rui rolled his eyes and wanted to imitate Zheng Tao's immoral behavior just now.

So he decisively separated from Zheng Tao, stroked his sleeves, and looked as if nothing had happened.

"We are joking around. Brother Xu, if you don't want to eat the food in front of you, can you give it to me? I don't want to waste food."

Zheng Tao couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expose his friend.

"Brother Xu" was surprised, but he still ordered his attendants to give his dishes to Li Rui.

Li Rui started eating without saying a word.

This meat is so delicious, it melts in your mouth. The piece of meat just now was gone before he could even taste it. This time he might be able to enjoy it.

After eating a few pieces, he found that there was a lot of fat on the meat. He usually never eats fatty meat, but he didn't know how to make this fat meat. It was not greasy at all.

After eating one piece, I want another piece. I just can’t stop.

The meat is also delicious, the meat is tender and firm, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.

The side dishes inside taste pink and glutinous, and are incomparably delicious.

Shang Hui couldn't stop eating, and everyone would just laugh at him for not having eaten anything good.

But when two people from aristocratic families, Zheng Tao and Li Rui, acted in this way, everyone was shocked.

Is this dish really that delicious?
