Yesterday Zhang County Minister they stepped on the good point of the boat, today was decorated more yesterday, not only lights and colours, but also laid a red carpet. Zhang county minister and other people bowed attentively and introduced Eunuch Qian into the painting boat.
“You guys have the heart.”
Eunuch Qian pinched his orchid fingers and swayed his posture as he walked into the pavilion and naturally sat on the main seat. Before taking his seat, Eunuch Qian cleanly wiped the chair with an embroidered handkerchief, seeing that there wasn’t a trace of dust on it, he nodded with satisfaction.
Received Duke Qian’s affirmation, Zhang County Minister a group of people immediately as if drinking a sweet wine, the beauty can not, feel that they advance a day of slaves is not in vain, more and more attentive up.
Zhang County Minister in order to please the Eunuch Qian, deliberately entrusted several layers of relations, heavy money from the capital city invited three chefs, regardless of the cost of cooking a variety of delicacies, delicacies and food, since the Eunuch Qian took his seat, a tray of stacks of delicacies flowing to the table, cellar more than a hundred years of fine wine wine opened a altar and an altar.
On both sides of the river bank, there are more stray dogs …… chasing the painted boat.
The delicacies and delicacies of the mountains and the sea, which Zhang County Minister and the others had painstakingly prepared, failed to satisfy Eunuch Qian.
“This Longjing shrimp, pay attention to the shrimp meat white and tender, buds and leaves gusts of fragrance, unfortunately, this plate fire grasp is not enough, shallow three points, tender is tender, buds and leaves of the fragrance failed to soak into the shrimp ……”
Under the attentive recommendation of County Minister Zhang and the others, Eunuch Qian tasted a mouthful of Longjing Shrimp, and the shrimp was only half eaten before he put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips with an embroidered handkerchief, and faintly commented.
The fire is not enough?
A cadre of Xuxu officials tasted a mouthful of the shrimp and almost didn’t swallow their tongues into their stomachs, why are we eating it tastes too good to be true!
“Ahem, Eunuch Qian try this West Lake Vinegar Fish, this dish is the well-deserved ‘leader’ of Jiangnan cuisine. The Master Liu we specially invited from Taizhou Prefecture is the very chef who is the best at making West Lake Vinegar Fish in Taizhou Prefecture.”
Seeing that Eunuch Qian didn’t eat well, he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, just at this moment a West Lake Vinegar Fish came up, Zhang County Minister’s face was overjoyed, he panicked and personally received this dish, and placed his hands attentively in front of Eunuch Qian.
Eunuch Qian in the eyes of the crowd in anticipation, stretched out the chopsticks clip a piece of fish into the mouth, lightly bite.
After a mouthful of fish, Eunuch Qian gently chewed for a moment and slowly spat out a few tiny fish spines.
The crowd looked at Eunuch Qian expectantly, waiting for Eunuch Qian’s comment.
This Master Liu was a connoisseur of making West Lake Vinegar Fish, and was a big name in the whole of Jiangnan.
County Minister Zhang and the others were confident, believing that this West Lake Vinegar Fish would definitely get a good review from Eunuch Qian.
However, it disappointed them again.
“This sauce is sloppy and not too bad, the fish is also tender enough, but the finesse is not good enough, the palace’s imperial chef made this West Lake Vinegar Fish, but he couldn’t eat a single fish splinter. Before cooking, the imperial chef has jumped out of every thorn, this fish spines ah put on the plate, just put together a fish shape ……”
Eunuch Qian wiped his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and shook his head slightly, his evaluation of this dish was not high either.
“Hehe, that’s also true, Eunuch Qian has not eaten what kind of delicacies in the palace, it’s us who are laughing.”
Master Yao smiled slightly and said in a complimentary manner.
“Where where where, miscellaneous family is also serving the empress, blessed by the empress’s favour, followed by a bit of light ……”
Eunuch Qian embroidered handkerchief half covered his lips, said modestly, words modestly, face full of pride.
Misogyny, really f*cking hard to serve!
Li Dianshi in his heart slandered, but his face did not dare to show the slightest bit, Zhang County Minister specially gave him an explanation, to treat Eunuch Qian as a pro-ancestor, coaxed to Jingnan, to deal with Zhu Pingan.
Although Eunuch Qian is picky about food, but under the deliberate pleasing compliments of Yao, Zhang County Minister and others, as well as regardless of the cost of running water in general, a continuous stream of delicacies, one after another, this banquet is also regarded as the guests and hosts to enjoy. Naturally, the banquet talked about Eunuch Qian’s mission to Jiangnan.
“Eunuch Qian, buy Jinbao pearl to our Jingnan on the right. Jiangzhe is our Ming Ming famous pearl town, and Jingnan is our Jiangzhe famous pearl treasure, even the famous Zhuji is not as good as our Jingnan.”Zhang county minister hands holding a cup of wine, respectfully toasted Eunuch Qian a cup, drink after said.
“Oh?”Hearing the pearl, Eunuch Qian was clearly interested. “Shaoxing Zhuji, the ancient capital of Yue, Xi Shi’s hometown, is my Daming’s famous pearl township, this miscellaneous family knows, it is said that Chang’e Fairy of the Moon Palace has a crown of the world’s great pearl, often in the palm of the hand to play with, the immortal atmosphere. One day, Chang’e Fairy impatient loneliness, secretly under the osmanthus tree and Wu Gang private meeting, will leave the pearl to the golden chicken guardian. Golden Rooster as usual, the pearl will be thrown to the arch, secretly play, accidentally, the pearl fell to the mortal world. The golden rooster chased the pearl down to the earth, and the pearl fell into the Wunsha River in Zhuji. Pearl has spirituality, see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Zhuji far better than the cold moon palace, refused to go back. In order to escape from the Golden Rooster, the Pearl flew from the Runsha Stream into the mouth of a woman who was coiffuring by the stream. The woman was pregnant with the pearl and gave birth to Xi Shi, hence the allusion to ‘Tasting the mother bathing in the stream, the pearl shot through her body and she was pregnant’, and Zhuji is therefore known as the home of the pearl. However, Zhang County Minister said, Zhuji is not as good as your place Jingnan, but what is the argument?”
Seeing Eunuch Qian’s interest in his own words, Zhang County Minister is even more forceful performance up, “As we all know, this pearl from the shells in the breeding, Zhuji is located inland, stop there is the river shells, and I Jingnan backed by the boundless sea, not only and the river shells, and the sea shells. Whether it’s quantity or quality, it’s far better than Zhuji.”
“Oh.”
Eunuch Qian faintly let out an oh.
It was obvious that County Minister Zhang’s words did not convince Eunuch Qian.
County Minister Zhang’s face flushed red.
“Ahem, does Eunuch Qian know about the Heshi Bi?”Master Yao coughed and took over the words of County Minister Zhang and said to Eunuch Qian.
“He Shi Bik is known throughout the world, how could a miscellaneous family not know about it.”Eunuch Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently.
“If Eunuch Qian knows about the He Shi Bi, do you know about the Sui Hou’s Pearl, which is known all over the world along with the He Shi Bi, and has been a must for all emperors and kings, and is also a ‘treasure passed down by the whole world’?”Master Yao smiled slightly and continued.
“Marquis Sui’s Pearl?!”Eunuch Qian was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly, “This miscellaneous family seems to have heard of it as well, but I just know very little about it.”
“The book Han Fei Zi has this to say: ‘The wall of the He clan is not decorated with five colours; the bead of the Sui Hou is not decorated with silver and yellow, its quality and its beauty are not enough to decorate the object.’ The Lü Shi Chun Qiu – Guan Sheng Chuan also said: ‘Now someone is using the beads of Sui Hou to play the sparrow of a thousand measures, what is it?’This is a famous book that has been passed down through the ages. This famous heirloom book has a detailed description of all of Sui Hou’s beads.”Master Yao slowly said.
“Could it be that Marquis Sui’s Pearl is related to your land?”Eunuch Qian asked with interest after hearing Master Yao’s words.
“Eunuch Qian is wise, one guess is right on the money.”Master Yao complimented, “In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Sui Hou went on a tour of his fiefdom to Jashui, and found a dozens of zhang long giant snake on the mountainside, which had been chopped off at the waist, and was dying, Sui Hou was moved with compassion, and had it rescued and treated. A year later, Sui Hou again cruising to the water, noon in a mountain station to rest. In his sleep, a yellow-haired boy fell on his knees in front of him, claiming to be the incarnation of the giant snake that was saved last year, and came here to offer beads to thank Sui Hou for saving his life. Sui Hou woke up with a start and found a large pearl on his bedside, white and rounded, lustrous, close up like a crystal candle, as far as the bright moon on the sea, a look is a treasure pearl. Sui Hou get the news of the pearl, immediately caused by the lords of the countries of the coveted, such as the He Shi Bik general, by the world to scramble for, and finally sui pearl fell into the hands of King Wu of Chu. Later, when Qin destroyed Chu, the Sui bead was possessed by Qin Shi Huang and was regarded as the national treasure of Qin. Along with the He Shi Bik in the world, for successive emperors must fight. This dregs of water is located right in the territory of Jingnan, I Jingnan County Records have a clear record of this, once you check, you will know.”
