Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 37 Relationship on the wine table!

Yan Wang Zhu Di's wish since he was a child was to be a general who conquered the North, so he is a real wine drinker, and the wine stored in the palace is also extremely rich!
Whether it is rice wine drunk by the nobles, or white wine that only coolies drink, they have collected a lot.

Therefore, when Guo An brought Zhu Di, not long after arriving at the Guo Mansion, Li Wang brought a team of palace guards, each holding a jar of fine wine, to the Guo Mansion.

"Chuzhou Jinpenlu, Shandong Qiulubai, Wuzhou Jinhua Wine, Shansu Xiaoping, Jiangxi Magu Wine, Shanxi Fen Wine..."

Looking at the altar of famous wine in front of him, Guo An couldn't help but licked and pulled his lower lip. These are the oldest famous wines, and some of them are legendary tribute wines. choose!

"How about these fine wines from my king?" Zhu Di said with a proud face.

"Your Highness is indeed worthy of being the King of Yan. Just these few jars of liquor have already made the subordinate officials overwhelmed. The subordinate officials are extremely admired."

Guo An saluted Zhu Di with a full face of admiration, "Your Highness, please rest assured, good wine and delicious food! The food served at the official mansion today will definitely not disappoint His Highness!"

"Two cows."

"Master?"

Guo Erniu's naive head suddenly appeared in front of Guo An.

"Go and tell Guo Erniang that His Royal Highness King Yan is visiting today, so don't worry about the seasoning, all the food must have enough flavor!"

"Yes, Master!"

Guo Erniu immediately ran to the backyard with a happy face.

Soon, plates of steaming and fragrant stir-fried vegetables were served.

"Are these stir-fried vegetables?"

Looking at the plates of shiny food in front of him, Zhu Di couldn't help looking at Guo An in surprise.

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded directly.

"My lord wants to taste it. How does the stir-fry in your Guo An's mansion taste?"

Although cooking was popularized in the Song Dynasty with the popularity of iron pans and oil, cooking has gradually become a trend.

However, iron pans, oil, and meat are expensive, making stir-frying a dish that only noble and wealthy businessmen can afford.

Even now, stir-fried vegetables are not affordable for ordinary people.

As for the cooks who are proficient in frying and cooking, there are very few of them.

Therefore, after seeing the cook in Guo An's mansion serving such a large table of fried vegetables, Zhu Di couldn't help being a little surprised.

"hiss……"

After taking a sip, Zhu Di felt the taste of eating in the back hall of the county government office at noon, even more fragrant than that.

"Damn it, those cooks in this palace are really a bunch of trash, and they claim to be famous chefs all over the country, and the dishes they cook are not as fragrant as the dishes in your little magistrate's house!"

Zhu Di's eyes widened, his face full of anger.

"Your Highness, the ingredients of these meals are all painstakingly researched by the lower officials. Naturally, there is no chef in the world that can compare with the cooks in the upper and lower officials' mansions!"

Guo An said with a smile.

Afterwards, seeing Zhu Di's darkened face, Guo An silently raised his wine glass, "Come, Your Highness, I respect you!"

"Drink wins!"

"Hahaha……"

After drinking a glass of fine wine, the corners of Zhu Di's mouth almost cracked below his earlobe.

Only Guo An, after drinking it, couldn't help but smacked his mouth and savored it. This fine wine is not as strong as the beer of later generations.

It's just that, in this era, the more noble people drink rice wine.

As for those baijiu and spirits, the production cost is low, and the difficulty is not that great. Drinking too much will cause headaches, sour and smelly. Generally, only those servants who work hard are drinking.

Zhu Di didn't have as many emotions as Guo An. Since he came to Beiping, he hasn't had such a good drink and meat with others for a long time.

After a bite of food, he directly picked up the wine jar and filled it up for himself and Guo An.

Li Wang on the side glared at Guo An directly, but it's a pity that Guo An, who has not yet cultivated so many superiors and inferiors, did not notice this.

Still smiling, "Hey, Your Highness, how dare I bother you?"

"Stop fucking nonsense, Yin Sheng!"

"The officer has done it!"

"You thief officer has a good drinker!"

"Hey, Your Highness, don't underestimate this official. Although an official is a civil servant, he enjoys good food and wine in his life. Not to mention these mild rice wines, even those strong wines with a sharp throat, you can't get drunk in a thousand cups!"

"Oh? Isn't this thief officer bragging?"

"Your Majesty dare not lie to Your Highness!"

"Since this is the case, I will try this altar of Shanxi Fenjiu!"

"Why don't you be afraid of the lower officials!"

"Drink wins!"

"Dry……"

After half an hour.

The wine jars on the table have already been empty for three jars, and the food has already bottomed out.

As for Zhu Di and Guo An, their eyes were already drunk and blurred, and they sat closer and closer.Soon, under the daring hook of a small official, the relationship between the two of them heated up directly, and they leaned directly together. Their good relationship was like life and death brothers for many years, bragging about each other!

On the side, Li Wang and Zhu Liang looked dumbfounded!
"Sweet, today is the best drink this king has ever had!"

"Haha, so is the lower official!"

"I didn't expect that you, a thief officer, can drink as much as this king. This king respects you as a man!"

"Your Highness no longer underestimates the officials?"

"Fuck your mother, no!"

"Then, can I ask Your Highness not to scold the lower official for 'getting into your mother' after seeing the lower official..."

"Into you... Damn it, this king agrees!"

"Your Highness has... Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Damn it..."

"Beautiful, it's because you, a thief, know how to eat. Compared with the delicious food in your house, the chefs in our palace cook all the food!"

"If your Highness likes it, you can send one or two palace chefs to the government to learn the secret recipe of the chefs!"

"Huh? You thief officer is so generous?"

"Hey, if your Highness feels sorry, you can exchange money, or grain and meat for the secret recipe!"

"Damn it, why do you always think about money when you are a thief? Your eyes are almost getting into the eyes of money. You are even more philistine than those merchants!"

"Your Highness, you are a prince. You have the royal salary for food, drink and clothing in the palace. You never worry about these things. However, the lower official is just a son of a small country gentleman. Even if the lower official has now become a magistrate, the daily salary It's not enough for the family to spend on food and drink, and they have to rely on family subsidies.

I don't dare to be greedy, tell me how miserable my life is, how can I not worry about money! "

"Damn it, don't be dissatisfied, you thief official. You should also know that in Wanping County alone, there are so many people who don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes!"

"His Royal Highness is wrong. Their lack of food and clothing is not caused by the subordinates. On the contrary, since the magistrate of Wanping County, the subordinates have been diligent and diligent. How many practical things have they done for them?
The official thought to himself, as the magistrate of Wanping County, what he did was completely right for the people of Wanping County! "

"Hmph, but since you are an official, you can only rely on your salary to live! Otherwise, if you dare to be greedy, don't say that this king can't spare you, even the emperor will kill you!"

"That's why the officer thought of His Highness!"

"Damn it..."
