Lingquan after kitchen

Chapter 68 Rejection (3)
The four guards hurriedly stopped and said respectfully: "Master."

Dongfang Ding nodded slightly, glanced at the two carts of food, with a kind expression on his face, striding past, his stomach gave out a ferocious growl that betrayed him.

The guards and servants in the mansion, except those on duty, were all present, happily enjoying a lunch comparable to a New Year's Eve dinner.

"How can this meat and chicken be so fragrant? It's the best dish I've ever eaten in my life."

"The pancakes are softer than the ones I ate before. There are pepper and salt in them. Even if you don't eat vegetables and just eat pancakes, they are still very fragrant."

"The last time the mansion gave out fruits to eat was the Dragon Boat Festival, and they were distributed like grapes, three for each person, and together they are not as big as this one pear."

"Master Shizi's guest will stay in our house for a few days. We have enjoyed the honor of the guest and got delicious food. The lunch is so good, what are we going to have for dinner?"

The four guards who went to the kitchen to get food did not watch Dongfang Ding compete with Ouyang Jinyu. They were very depressed. This time, they became a celebrity, and they were surrounded by everyone for a long time. They were all proud of doing this job. .

"When the four of us saw the meat, chicken, and fruit, we were so happy that we forgot to ask Uncle Ma what he had for dinner."

"We will return the guy to the kitchen later, and we must ask Uncle Ma for the big guy."

Not far away from the first dining room in the Wujin courtyard, a large round table has more than a dozen delicacies, cold dishes for wine, meat dishes for rice, delicacies from mountains and seas, except for fungus, mushrooms, and scallops, the rest are seasonal vegetables. The slaughtered chickens, pigs, fish, and crabs are full of color, fragrance, and taste, and they are served in brand-new blue and white porcelain from the official kiln, which is very appetizing.

At present, the mood of everyone who comes in will become better involuntarily.

Dongfang took the main seat, and Duke Ding and Duke Ding sat on the left and right sides of him.

Mrs. Ding sits under Mr. Ding Laojun.Dongfang Xuanyi sat between Ouyang Jinyu and Ouyang Jinfeng.There was an empty chair beside Ouyang Jinfeng.

Ouyang Jinyu and Dongfang Xuanyi are equally free and easy, as if introducing each dish with eloquence in their own home.

Cold dishes include chicken in sauce, fungus mixed with almonds, three shreds of sesame oil, marinated strips, garlic and tomato puree, hot dishes include braised pig's trotters, stewed pork ribs with lotus root, steamed river crab, steamed pork with rice flour, sweet and sour pond carp, stir-fried spinach, stir-fried Winter melon dried shrimps, dry stir-fried kidney beans, soup is scallop egg drop soup.

Even though Dongfang Ding didn't pay much attention to food, he was deeply attracted by the delicious food in front of him.

Duke Ding proudly said: "My lord, this table of dishes was made by my great-granddaughter Jinhua herself in the kitchen to instruct the cooks to make them. You should eat more."

Dongfang Xuanyi said in a moderate voice: "Old man, wait for Jinhua."

Dongfang fixed his head and said, "That is."

When he was young, Ouyang Jinhua came out of the kitchen and changed into a clean and dignified long purple dress. Accompanied by Xiao Tong and Xiao Cheng, the whole dining room brightened up. I have seen the uncle of the country."

Dongfang Dingteng stood up.

Seeing that Dongfang Ding was about to stare at Ouyang Jinhua, Steward Qian coughed dryly.

Dongfang Ding calmed down, looked at Ouyang Jinhua with the eyes of a relative, and said slowly: "You are somewhat similar to my wife, she also liked to think about eating when she was alive."

Ouyang Jinhua admired Dongfang Ding in his heart, and he sympathized and admired the wife of the duke, Mrs. Deng, who was able to tolerate him but was so beautiful, and said: "My grandma said that Aunt Deng, the wife of the duke, is a woman unparalleled in the world. My expression is a little bit It's a blessing to be like her."

Dongfang Xuanyi looked at Ouyang Jinhua with more content.

Ding smiled and said, "Our two families are destined."

Dongfang Ding took it very seriously, his eyes were very kind, he nodded and smiled and said, "Jin Hua, sit down quickly."

Ouyang Jinhua was held by the smiling Ouyang Jinfeng and sat next to him. From the corner of his eye, he saw Dongfang Xuanyi staring at her intently, and gave a vicious glance when a table of people toasted and drank.

When Dongfang Xuanyi received such a response from Ouyang Jinhua, he vaguely felt that this was a good thing, which proved that she was paying attention to him.

After lunch, the elderly, women and children go to take a lunch break.Dongfang Xuanyi and Dongfang decided to go to the key to the warehouse of the Duke's Mansion, and took Ouyang Jinyu to the warehouse to choose a meeting gift.

No gold or silver treasures were found in the treasury of the Duke's Mansion, there were quite a lot of porcelain and antiques, most of which were all kinds of weapons.

Ouyang Jinyu chose for a while, and couldn't put it down for three top swords and a top-quality special military crossbow.

Dongfang Xuanyi waved his hands and said with a smile: "They follow you, a hundred times better than sleeping here. You take them all away."

The two smiled and walked out of the warehouse with their shoulders crossed and their backs crossed.A nephew of Dongfang Xuanyi came forward to whisper a few words.

It turned out that this morning there was a memorial to impeach the Duke of the State in the royal history, killing and eating the Tubo mastiff dogs bestowed by the emperor, for fear of causing dissatisfaction of the Tubo kingdom and triggering a war between the two countries.

Prince Murong Ming asked Murong Yangxiao to send his personal eunuch to the barracks to ask Dongfang Ding what happened.

Murong Yangxiao actually agreed.

Dongfang Ding replied: "The founding emperor Taizu's lifelong wish is to destroy the Tubo Kingdom. If the Tubo Kingdom dares to invade our dynasty, I will lead the Dragon Wing Army to take the head of the Tubo king to pay homage to the Taizu Emperor!"

The eunuch returned to the palace and said Dongfang Ding's words verbatim in the morning court. The imperial censor scolded Dongfang Ding for eating mastiff meat for fear of triggering a war and disregarding the lives of the people. Murong Ming seconded the proposal.

The third prince, Murong Qing, came out and retorted: "I read an ancient book years ago, and saw that the mastiff was extremely ferocious, and it only recognized one master when it became an adult. The king of Tubo paid tribute to this mastiff as an adult, but the master is not from our dynasty. People. This mastiff entered the imperial palace and was kept in the royal father’s bedroom. It killed several palace officials, and when it arrived at the Duke’s mansion in the East, it almost killed the prince. So if the Tibetan vicious dog does not kill and eat meat, it will only kill you if you keep it. Consume my food!"

Several old ministers headed by Ding Taifu all came forward, claiming that the purpose of Tubo's tribute to adult mastiffs was not pure, and that the mastiffs should be executed if they killed the palace people.

Most of the civil and military officials agreed to kill the Tubo mastiff, which made Murong Ming and the imperial official embarrassing and embarrassing. Even Murong Yangxiao was a little bit sorry, and sent eunuchs to the military camp to give 200 taels of gold to appease Dongfang Ding.

Dongfang Xuanyi smiled evilly, shook his head and said: "I killed the mastiff, the old man got gold after eating the meat of the mastiff, and the one who kept silent didn't give me the gold."
