Chapter 56: Issued my old bald donkey (Part 2)
Lu Qian was also worried. According to his previous understanding of Zen Master Laifu, although he was a little playful, he would not use it as a joke. However, if Zen Master Laifu was a meat lover, he would not be qualified to be a Shaolin abbot, which is extremely beneficial to us.
Lu Qian then smiled kindly and said, "The Zen master is in a good mood, so I won't prepare for a vegetarian meal." As he said that, he asked everyone to sit down together. He hit him three times with his palms. The beautiful maid immediately stepped forward and served one by one, filling everyone's wine cup. Then he did not leave, and each stood behind everyone for several steps.
"Zen Master, come and try the Zhenlu wine you brewed from home." Lu Qian's appearance clearly showed that he wanted to pull Zen Master Laifu into the water.
Lai Fu did not refuse much and drank the wine in one sip. After savoring it, he slowly said: "Lao Na has lived in more than 100 years old, and this is the first time he has tasted fine wine. It's true that the taste is endless, good."
Lu Qian showed a fox-like smug smile. Zen Master Laifu probably would have no chance with this martial arts leader. So he smiled and repeatedly persuaded him to drink.
I also tasted this precious wine. When the wine was in my mouth, a cold and fragrant smell came straight to my throat. The wine was slightly sticky and the mellow fragrance came into my mouth. It quickly turned into thousands of wonderful flavors, making people feel like they were in a fairyland and were floating in the air.
"Good wine is indeed good wine." I was immersed in the wine, and after a while I realized how to praise, "This wine should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to taste it in the world, it is wonderful."
Seeing that I also praised his wine, Lu Qian smiled and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Wu for the praise. This wine is carefully brewed by collecting the dew of a hundred flowers, and it has been buried underground for twenty years. It is natural and wonderful to drink it."
This wine must be the best wine treasured by Lu Qian. I am afraid that I gave it up to entertain me, the emperor. I can only take one sip of this wine and one sip. Even if it is on the spot, it will take another twenty years to achieve the mellowness of the wine today.
"Amitabha, after drinking this wine, Lao Na actually had the absurd thought of living for more than a hundred years." Lai Fu was full of praise and immediately blamed him: "The owner of Manor Lu was too stingy. Lao Na came to Taihu Villa no less than three times, but every time he was treated with simple food. He didn't say that he would take out this wine early. You have the nickname of Saimengchang."
When Lu Qian heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "The Zen master is a Buddhist. How dare I use fine wine to call each other? If it causes a Zen master to scold me, wouldn't it be thankless? If it weren't for the Zen master's voluntary drink, I would only let the Zen master eat the simple food." Speaking of this, Lu Qian said with a friendly smile on his face: "I will not talk about these things now. Since the Zen master has such a good mood, it is better to try the Three Treasures of Taihu Lake."
While he was talking, a beautiful maid came from afar, carrying a dish. He walked outside the Yuxuan Pavilion and knelt down and said, "Master, bring the drunk white shrimps here."
A maid next to Lu Qian immediately stepped forward and tied the silver tray and placed it in the middle of the round table. After opening the cover, you could see a silver basin. In the silver basin, half of the transparent shrimps were filled with mud wine.
"Master Wu, Zen Master, several girls." Lu Qian introduced: "This is the specialty white shrimp in Taihu Lake. It is extremely tender, especially after being drunk, it melts in your mouth, which is extremely wonderful."
"This shrimp is obviously transparent, why is it called white shrimp?" Ning'er observed it and felt a little strange.
"Miss Ning'er doesn't know anything. The so-called white shrimp refers to the whole body of the shrimp after it is cooked, so it is called white shrimp." Lu Qian knew that several girls had a close relationship with me, so he answered seriously.
White shrimps are not rare. However, with the current season, it is very difficult to get these white shrimps, and I don’t know how Lu Qian did it.
The aroma of wine made my index finger tremble. I picked up a fresh white shrimp with chopsticks and put it in my mouth. The sweet and mellow wine, which was perfectly combined with the freshness and beauty of the white shrimp, complemented each other and impacted my taste limits.
"Okay, OK." I carefully savored the taste, spit out the shrimp shells, and praised: "It's indeed a good shrimp."
When the rest of the people heard that I praised me so much, they couldn't stand the temptation. They tasted it one after another, and were amazed.
I ate a few more, and then asked: "Byragon Master Lu, as far as I know, it is not the season for shrimp production. How did the owner get these fresh and wonderful white shrimps?"
"I feel ashamed at this time." Lu Qian smiled embarrassedly, "Lu lived on the banks of Taihu Lake since he was a child. His favorite food is the Three Treasures of Taihu Lake. It's just that the three treasures have their own seasons and are not captured anytime and anywhere. At that time, Lu was only over 20 years old, so he used his brain to make it possible to eat this Lake Fairy every day. At the beginning, he used an ice-cold method. Although this method could keep fresh, it could not be preserved. Lu always felt that something was missing. Later, after a lot of observation, Lu found that these white shrimps were reproduced and grown with the changes of seasons. All of this was related to the temperature. In addition, Weichen had just returned from the north and had seen the warm stove in the north. He imitated the temperature changes in the small room. Finally, in the third year, Lu finally grew fresh white shrimps in the winter day."
I was dizzy. Lu Qian looked so naughty that he had developed the advanced concept of this off-seasonal food. It can be seen that food is so terrible to the development of mankind.
"Master Lu's genius, Wu admired it very much." I smiled and said, "After so long, I'm afraid that Master Lu's method has been promoted to other fields, right?"
Lu Qian was stunned: "Master Wu, how did you know?" Then he said: "It is indeed as Master Wu said, with this experience, Lu also cultivated the rest, such as various vegetables, fruits, etc. However, since he became obsessed with martial arts, he never studied this kind of slutty technique again, and everything was thrown to the dog to take care of at this time."
"Good Lu Qian." Lai Fu glared at his eyes and said, "Last time you made a watermelon in the middle of winter. Could it be that it was planted in this way? Humph, hum, it's so hard for us old men to hide it."
Lu Qian was mentioned by him and smiled bitterly: "How can such a secret matter be spread randomly? If Mr. Wu hadn't asked about it, I wouldn't have said it."
I thought to myself: "The Han people are the most wise nation in the world, but when it is the turn to develop, they will always slow down. This is due to the traditional Han people's thoughts. Once new discoveries and inventions are made, the first thing they think of is how to hide and refuse to share them. What is even more terrifying is that the ancient Han people lack the awareness of developing technology into productivity and forming the market. The 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization has produced many geniuses. Let's say that the method of greenhouse discovered by Lu Qian has not discovered it in a longer time? There must be some. But the discoverers are like Lu Qian, hiding the fruits they enjoy. They are neither willing to publicize them nor do they use them to do business. It is sad.
I couldn't help but think about it. If I wanted to break this traditional concept, the first thing I had to do was to reward the mechanism, reward various inventions and achievements. Then I would turn them into productivity and promote them in a unified order.
Of course, this was not in a hurry. So he smiled and said, "I haven't eaten watermelon for a long time. Master Lu should not hide his own personal information."
Lu Qian smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's nature, that's nature. After drinking and eating, it's the most wonderful thing to eat watermelon."
"The guest will be at your own will, and the owner Lu will make arrangements." I also smiled. I didn't expect that returning to ancient times, I could still eat watermelon in the early March of spring. This is a wonderful thing.
The next dish was Taihu silverfish. No matter how much silverfish is made, only silverfish soup is the most delicious. The freshness of the egg whitefish completely sucks out the beauty of the silverfish. After drinking a bowl of silverfish soup, I felt refreshed all over.
The last dish of the Three Treasures of Taihu Lake is white shredded fish. The meat of this fish is tender and smooth. After steaming, it has a light fragrance, fresh but not fishy, and it is a delicious food in the world.
Although the recipe of the Three Treasures of Taihu Lake is simple, the ingredients are rare in this season. Moreover, the simpler the recipe, the more it reflects the level of a chef. It fully demonstrates the characteristics of the Three Treasures of Taihu Lake, which is the level of an imperial chef.
There is no need to describe the other aquatic delicacies one by one. Lu Qian is also a person who is very good at enjoying life, but it is only such a person who has a strong desire for power and can use it for me.
The last watermelon dish made everyone praise it. It was the first time that Qing'er and the others had eaten watermelon in this season, and it was very fresh.
After the cold watermelon was in the mouth, the wine surnamed was half taken.
Lu Qian immediately hit the two palms again, and a pretty maid retreated. Soon after, he brought a group of young girls wearing thin wings, and finally followed several piano players.
As soon as I saw this stance, I knew what Lu Qian meant and wanted to pull Zen Master Laifu into the water in all directions. The boy must have thought that this kind of opportunity was really rare.
"Master Wu, these are all dancers trained by our village. They are all innocent and have outstanding dance postures." Lu Qian said respectfully to me.
As he said that, he said to Zen Master Laifu with a smile on his face, "Zen Master, I'm afraid you will not be suitable for the next performance."
It was obviously a trick to get. However, Zen Master Laifu said indifferently: "Wine and meat have passed through the intestines. Why are Lao Na afraid of just women? Besides, Lao Na's mood is like water. If he can't even resist these temptations, what face can he call himself Lao Na?"
"Since that's the case, it's not easy to force it." A smug look appeared in Lu Qian's eyes and flashed away.
