Poor family mother and son

Chapter 634 Testify
Madam really predicts things like a god, Du Shaoyi feels helpless.

Don't look at his unconvinced heart clearly, but in real face to face, he still has to be polite: "Master Chu, what do you think about this...?"

Chu Qing enthusiastically greeted him for a drink: "Oh, Mrs. Du, it's just a small friction, it's not going to get in the way, I didn't expect you to come in person!
It is rare for a subordinate official to come to Kyoto, and there is no chance to communicate with adults. Today is considered a fate, let's sit down and have a drink! "

Du Shaoyi saw that Chu Qing seemed to want to calm things down, so he had to give this face, even if he felt uncomfortable, he sat down as he said: "That's okay, we both serve in the imperial court, but we are not familiar with each other, today is indeed a good opportunity!"

A rare opportunity.

Chu Qing didn't invite Du Shaoyi upstairs to the private room, but added a table beside the stage.

Boil mutton, hand-cooked mutton, cured duck liver sausage, seasonal vegetables, whole swallow fish, jade liquid agar wine, health-preserving tea, etc. spread all over the table, and clearly invite Du Shaoyi to taste it.

My wife always said that the hot-boiled mutton at Cheong Wa Dae was delicious, but Du Shaoyi had never tasted it, so the first chopsticks were on the hot-boiled mutton.

A diner nearby praised: "Your Cheong Wa Dae's hot-boiled mutton is authentic! Many restaurants have learned from yours and also cook hot-boiled mutton, but they can't make it taste like this!"

A waiter was serving wine to the guests at that table, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation!"

The diners at the next table interjected: "What's the smell? I think it's just that the dipping material is different. There doesn't seem to be anything extra in the broth?"

The previous diner said: "That's not the same, you know, the hot-boiled mutton at Blue House was created based on Hong Guogong's experience, and it can taste different flavors!"

He said to the shop assistant: "Tell him about the origin of this boiled mutton!"

The store clerk helped them add and fish slices of meat into the pot, while preaching: "It is said that during the national war, Hong Guogong alone led troops to guard the northern border of Donglun in order to prevent the Voss from taking advantage of the chaos to attack;

At that time, the imperial court's food and grass were still on the way, but Hong Guogong and the others had been out of food for several days..."

"No food? How could there be no food?" Someone asked in surprise.

There are no storytellers on the stage today, so when the shop assistant tells a story, it attracts the attention of many diners.

"At that time, the food transportation team was mainly heading to the central part of Donglun. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Hong Guogong divided his troops to defend the northern border. No one knew it. Later, our boss sent a batch of food urgently, and it was temporarily relieved for a few days;
But in war, many people die every day, and the wounded soldiers have nothing to make up for, so they just hope to have a bite of meat, even if they can drink broth;

Just when the grain sent by our master was almost finished, the imperial court’s grain and grass were also delivered..."

"Huh..." Some diners breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's not easy!"

The store clerk continued: "At that time, Hong Guogong asked people to kill the only sheep specially prepared for him, and said that everyone would have a bite of meat. The soldiers were very moved!

As a result, the water was boiled and the sheep were killed, and it was time to cook the meat. A spy came to report: 'The enemy army is overwhelming, and it is fifteen miles away'...

This is not allowed to eat!How can the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry?

Hong Guogong waved his hand: Take off the hat, fill it with hot water, slice the mutton into slices, rinse and eat!
So, the soldiers took off their helmets one after another, scooped up boiling water in the pot, and the chef threw slices of mutton into the helmets, and sprinkled some salt...

The soldiers each got a few slices of mutton, and ate them warmly, and then soaked the pancakes with the clear soup. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone was full, and immediately raised their guns and mounted their horses! "

"Okay!" There was applause and cheers.

The store clerk finally concluded: "This is the origin of hot-boiled mutton. Our boss said that we should not forget the well digger when we drink water. We can sit here and have a solid meal today. It is all the blood and lives of the soldiers. Yes, everyone... pack it up and take it away if you can't finish eating!"

The last sentence is that the shop assistant saw a diner at a single table getting up and seemed to be leaving, and the person replied: "I know! I just have to go to the toilet, and I have to come back!"

People laughed.

"How does Master Du feel about the taste?" Chu Qing helped to serve the mutton slices.

Du Shaoyi ate with gusto, and was also fascinated by what he heard. Seeing Chu Qing's question, he asked for proof instead: "Is it really the way Hong Guogong thought of eating?"

Can Chu Qing say that Kublai Khan invented hot-boiled mutton?Of course not.All topics that can lead to questions such as "Who is Kublai Khan" cannot be discussed.

Chu Qing: "Well, really!"

At the beginning, Chu Qing made up such a nonsense story for a few boys, but unexpectedly, they were all brought to the capital.

As for how many slices of a sheep can be sliced ​​and how many soldiers are enough to eat, then there is no need to think about it.

"Hey, it smells so good!" Du Shaoyi admired from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Qing forked another piece of meat and handed it over: "Try this again!"

"Mmm, it smells delicious!" Du Shaoyi dipped in the oil dish and ate happily.

"But they say it's not delicious!" Si'er came over to refill the wine, and interjected: "They also said, 'The mutton made by the Two-legged sheep is just like their own, it's soft and not chewy!'"

"Huh? Fart! They are two-legged sheep, and they are all two-legged sheep in the whole country!" Du Shao became righteous, and the bones of the sheep banged on the plate.

"Master Du is still just!" Si'er sighed: "That official didn't take it seriously, and even said that our master 'sulted other countries for envoys'."

"Bastard!" Du Shaoyi turned his head to look at the table, ready to scold Chen Zhangke.

Chen Zhangke just woke up and opened his eyes. He heard Si'er's complaint when he was in a daze. He wanted to close his eyes and continue to faint, but he caught Du Shaoyi's murderous gaze.

Chen Zhangke wanted to cry but had no tears, why did he wake up at such an inopportune time?

Chen Zhangke and Du Shaoyi's eyes met, and it was too late to hide, so he could only argue: "I'm not...I didn't...he's talking nonsense!"

Si'er asked him, "Did they say that Daxuan people are two-legged sheep?"

Before Chen Zhangke could speak, the diners testified first: "I said it! We all heard it!"

Chu Qing was speechless—the thin man said this in Voss, can you all understand it?

Si'er asked again: "Did you not care about it and still eat deliciously?"

Diners: "Yes! He just doesn't care! He's a lackey! Rebel!"

Chen Zhangke was in a hurry: "I'm not...I didn't...They were talking nonsense...My lord, I was wronged, I didn't hear it at that time..."

Diners: "Fart! You obviously heard it! We all heard it, can't you hear it?!"

Si'er: "Did you say that my master 'swears the envoy of another country'?"

The diners stood up at once, many of them were filled with righteous indignation, and their voices were neat and loud: "He said it!"

Chu Qing was very moved.

Ordinary people usually let them say whatever they want in private, and they can give hype, but once they want to report by name, no one dares to, and some fight with today's "keyboard man".

But look now, how many people dare to stand up in front of such a high-ranking official as Honglu Siqing?They all dared to stand up!Real name system!
The diners were filled with righteous indignation and enthusiasm, although they didn't know who Chu Qing was at the time, they knew now that it was the owner of the Blue House!It's Bao Qingxiang's boss!

It was Chu Qing who gave face to the emperor, empress and dowager!

How big is a fourth-rank official, Honglu Siqing?Is it bigger than the emperor?
Mr. Chu's family also invites us to eat mutton, we must behave!
Chen Zhangke: "..."

He wants to faint again now, it's strange to say, why can't he faint now?
