Chapter 725 Special banquet
When Chen Xu came to the kitchen, all the steaks for lunch had been marinated, the grill and pottery plate for fried meat had been set on fire, and the prepared pepper sauce was prepared.
After checking, Chen Xu ordered to start frying steaks, and a group of chefs and chefs suddenly became busy in an orderly manner.
In the restaurant, several long dining tables that were put together, knives and forks for eating steaks, and high-legged glasses for drinking were all arranged neatly. Each piece of utensil is crystal clear, and there are several huge glass wine utensils in the middle, which are wine cups used to sober up, which looks no different from later Western restaurants.
It’s great. There will never be so-called Western food again. Eating steak with knife and fork is also invented by the Chinese. The source of world food is in China. Westerners, let them learn from the third brother to eat pilaf!
Chen Xu was very satisfied. Looking at the row of servants standing respectfully on both sides, he waved his hand and said, "Pour all the red wine in the wine cup and sober up, and go and invite guests to the table!"
"Yes, Marquis!" A group of servants saluted in uniform blessed bodies.
"Haha, I finally waited for the Marquis' delicacy!" Soon there was a burst of dense footsteps outside the restaurant, and Li Xin's happy laughter was mixed with.
A group of people playing mahjong in the living room followed several servants and maids with excited smiles on their faces. When they entered the door, they were stunned by the long dining table in front of them and the neatly arranged utensils on them.
I have seen glass cups, but I have never seen such glass cups with high feet and thin legs.
I have never seen a super big wine cup full of bright red wine. It emits a dazzling light from the light column illuminated through the glass tiles on the roof. There is a fascinating and clear wine fragrance floating in the air, and the fruity smell of grapes is also mixed with.
I have never seen the cutlery on the table, and they are shiny and neat.
"Tsk tsk, the Marquis is not only a master of food, but also a unique dining utensil. The cups, knives and forks are all exquisite. It seems that this delicacy must be the ultimate taste of the world. I can't wait to taste it!"
The group of people who came in were amazed and were stunned by the layout and decorations on the dining table. They all surrounded the dining table and watched the exquisite tableware. Li Xin took up a pair of knife and fork and tossed and turned around and watched.
"Please, I don't like to talk about messy rules, so everyone sits casually because today's lunch is to eat large pieces of beef, so these special knives and forks are needed. The kitchen is already preparing and can be tasted soon!"
Chen Xu smiled and sat down on a large main chair at the end of the dining table, with Ying Shiman and Meng Wan sitting on both sides.
A group of maids also moved their chairs to invite guests to the table. Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei were also arranged to Chen Xu's right hand side. Li Xin, Jiang Hu, Jiang Bu, Ying Bu, Zhang Cang, Xu Fu, Chen Ping, Yang Kun, Hu Kuan, Sun Shujiu, Gongshusheng, Ma Gan and others all consciously sat down from left to right according to their respective titles, just as the table was full.
"Fill the wine with the guests first and notify the kitchen that you can serve the food!" Seeing everyone sitting down and starting to talk excitedly, Chen Xu ordered the maid to start pouring wine and serving the food.
Soon the bright red wine was placed in a small bamboo tube by the maid who distributed the wine. In front of everyone, everyone who sat there looked at this strange crystal goblet, and they looked at Chen Xu with a slightly restrained expression.
Chen Xu raised his hand and pinched the thin handle to pick up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Just have fun when you have sex, just be careful. Don't be restrained, just drink whatever you like on weekdays. Today's food and wine are full. Come on, drink a glass to moisten your throat!"
"What the Marquis said is that we are just a group of vulgar people. We usually hold swords, swords, bows and crossbows to eat meat and drink wine. Although this cup is exquisite, we will have the stone ceramic cup at that time. Come and drink with you. Xie Qinghe Hou’s food and wine reception today!" Li Xin stood up and raised his glass.
On the table today, except for Chen Xu, who has the highest status and Li Xin has the oldest qualifications. The rest of the people are the rising or rising nobles of the Qin Dynasty. However, Li Xin dare not show off at all, because except for himself, these people almost all have a deep relationship with Chen Xu. Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu are not talking about it. The two of them have obviously defected to Chen Xu. Chen Ping, Yang Kun and Zhang Cang can all be regarded as Chen Xu's disciples. They are all the people who are currently in the limelight in the Qin Dynasty. In terms of the influence of the Qin Dynasty, they are much more fierce than his hereditary marquis.
If nothing unexpected happens, more than a dozen people on this dining table may have entered the marquis class in the future.
With the help of this group of people, coupled with the halo of Chen Xu's immortal disciples, it will inevitably be a super force that will influence the entire Qin situation in the future.
Since Chen Xu arrived in Xianyang, the power of the three Shangqings, Li Sifeng Quji Meng Yi, is gradually weakening. Although the power has not changed at the moment, whether in the court or in the people, the most talked about is not these three Shangqings, or even the emperor, but the Hou of Qinghe, as well as the Daqin Metropolis Daily, the Academy of Literature, cement, four-wheeled roads, buses, etc., and even Chen Xu's words and actions may be talked about for a long time.
A few days ago, Chen Xu rode a horse and fell and fell and injured himself. This incident made the hearts of the entire Xianyang people feel aroused. Many people were praying to Chen Xu's spiritual position at home to pray to Taiyi Immortal Lord to bless his disciples. The most nervous one was the group of people who followed Chen Xu and all the merchants who participated in the construction of Dongfang Road. They all sweated a lot and gathered together to discuss countermeasures. It was not until they heard that Qinghe Hou had only had a minor injury and scratched his skin and breathed a sigh of relief. Then many merchants went to Taiyi Temple outside the city to burn incense and kowtow, and gave the temple a lot of money to expand the temple, hoping to use their sincerity to move Taiyi Immortal Lord to bless Chen Xu, bless their big money owner and hope to turn the future.
If Chen Xu is good, then all those who participated in the construction of Oriental Road will be good and will make a fortune.
If Chen Xu had a long and two shortcoming, the road construction would inevitably be repeated, and the future would be as clear as muddy water.
Many people have devoted all their wealth and even coffin books.
This bet cannot be afforded.
Therefore, for all merchants, the emperor can have three or two shortcomings, but the Qinghe Marquis is absolutely not allowed. The emperor will be the emperor after the emperor is intoxicated. However, there is only one person under the Qinghe Marquis, who is the only one who can make the decision for the merchants. He must live well.
After drinking a glass of wine, I put down the glass and sat down. Many people looked at the restaurant gate with eager eyes. Because I had a glass of wine and there was no food on the table, I felt even hungry.
Just as everyone was waiting for a long time, as a strong and strange fragrance drifted into the restaurant with the wind, many people felt saliva flowing, and their hearts could no longer suppress their hungry souls. Several of them even stood up without caring about etiquette.
Accompanied by footsteps, Yingying and Yanyan and a group of maids came in with wooden plates holding pottery trays covered with lids and walked to each guest.
"Master, be careful of burns!" The maid whispered, and then carefully placed the wooden pallet in front of everyone.
"It smells so fragrant~"
The lid was not opened, but everyone was already agitated by the strong fragrance emitted by the food in the pottery tray. They all looked straight at the pottery tray in front of them and began to swallow saliva. Even Fan Caiwei, who had always been indifferent, became nervous and nervous. She swallowed secretly, and then secretly glanced at Chen Xu.
"Everyone, this is my latest black pepper steak, marinated with the best fresh beef, and then fryed with a special spice snatched from the hands of the Huns by Marquis Didao and Marquis Yinshan and other generals. It tastes fresh and fragrant, and it is a rare delicacy in the world..."
"Don't say it, my husband, I can't stop saliva!" Before Chen Xu could finish his words, Li Xin, who was sitting on the left head, couldn't wait to lift the lid of the pottery tray.
Accompanied by a heat surge, a fragrant and fragrant and rich fragrance spread in the restaurant instantly. A piece of beef as big as a palm still made a slight puff sound in the pottery plate, with a black sauce poured on it. It smelled not only that it made people's index fingers move, but also that the soul became restless.
"Hiss~" Li Xin's eyes widened and he took a breath, and a wisp of saliva dripped down the corner of his mouth.
"This black pepper steak should be eaten while it is hot. The meat will become hard when it is cold. Please~"
Chen Xu reached out to remove the lid of the pottery tray in front of him, and also helped Ying Shiman and Meng Wan to lift the lid. The guests who came to the banquet could not wait at this time, and they all reached out to remove the lid. Along with the strong smell of heat, the entire restaurant was filled with strange fragrance, and the sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.
"Thank you, my husband!" After Meng Wan and Ying Shiman thanked each other, they each reached out and picked up their knives and forks, and began to cut the steak gracefully.
"Eat while it's hot, please!" Chen Xu also grabbed the knife and fork.
When everyone saw Chen Xu and Meng Wanying Shiman's actions, they also learned it now. They picked up the knife and fork and didn't tell the difference between them. They started cutting off a piece with a knife with a knife.
Li Xin, Jiang Hu and several other martial artists were used to eating meat and drinking big bowls, so they cut off half of their pieces, held four drops of beef in the sauce and sent it into their mouths to bite and chew it.
"Well... it's delicious, it's so delicious... I didn't expect the beef to be so tender and fragrant!"
"It smells so fragrant, it smells so good, it is definitely the best delicacy in the world..."
“Delicious…delicious…”
Amid everyone's praise, no one on the table had any leisure to chat. They all held their knives and forks and began to concentrate on the steak. The whole restaurant could only hear the sound of cutting, chewing and swallowing.
"Sister, this steak is so delicious!" Fan Caiwei whispered to Fan Caiying while eating.
Chapter completed!
