Chapter 388 Full Fish Feast (1)
Compared with the excitement of Zhao You, who could only "listen", the reaction of Wen Mingtang and the three people who could not see it was mediocre.
Even though there weren't that many people, he only stepped forward to salute Mr. Zhao when he saw him, not to mention when everyone was just a pedestrian?
When Zhao Mengzhuo came to a place like Zhaixinglou, he would have guessed that he would be inviting distinguished guests, and he would not be able to get anywhere with them.
The adults have their own banquets, where they drink and drink, and have their own weighings, which have little to do with them.
Rather than this, it would be better to rush to the snack shop earlier for dinner.
The area around Furong Garden was slow and crowded. It took nearly half an hour just to walk through the entrance of Furong Garden. Finally, we arrived at the selected restaurant specializing in fish dishes. Everyone walked in and ate a four-course meal. A whole fish feast for man.
Fish dishes are the most fashionable in Tai Rong, and the most popular way to eat them among the rich and powerful is to make fish into thin slices and eat it raw. As a qualified foodie, Wen Mingtang will not be taboo about how to eat it, just because it is used for making fish. The one I was eating was crucian carp from the freshwater lake. After all, I didn’t dare to touch it, so I only touched a few cooked fish dishes.
The grilled fish skin is charred and crispy. When you break through the crispy fish skin with your teeth, you can eat the garlic-like fish meat. The meat is smooth and tender. It is sprinkled with various roasting ingredients such as cumin, salt and pepper, and chili peppers. It is full of smoke and smoke. Full.
Steamed seabass uses simple ingredients, such as wine, ginger, green onions, salt and other common ingredients. Because the seabass is fresh and steamed at just the right temperature, it tastes extremely delicious.
There is also a fish soup made with water shield tofu. Wen Mingtang, who rarely cooks himself, finished one bowl of rice and then added half a bowl. He used the rice in the bowl to confirm the fish dishes made by this fish dish restaurant.
After the evening meal, the four of them walked out of the restaurant after eating and drinking. It was already Xu hour, and the four of them were walking slowly, taking a walk to eat and preparing to return along the way they came. Their carriage stopped near Qujiang Pool, and they could just walk out of the Qujiang Pool area and let Zhao You drive the carriage to take everyone back.
After finishing the evening meal, there were still many pedestrians near Furong Garden. Looking at the nobles who were still coming in and out, shouting and hugging behind them, Tangyuan couldn't help but sigh: "Are you just eating or are you just going in?"
It was Youshi when they passed the entrance of Furong Garden, and they were having a late meal at this time. It was already Xushi when they took a walk here, but there were still noble people coming in and out of Furong Garden.
"The nobles don't go to the banquet just for the food. Even if they eat, they will end up with a few mouthfuls." Wen Mingtang looked at the nobles who were still coming in and out, and couldn't help but sigh, "The ones taken from the palace banquet, There are countless dishes and delicacies that have not been touched, but the ones that have been touched are just one or two more bites."
The royal chefs in the palace are naturally very good at cooking. In this case... Tangyuan and A Bing opened their eyes wide and asked Wen Mingtang: "What about the dishes that have been taken down? If they are left, won't they spoil?"
"How could you let it go?" Wen Mingtang shook his head and said, "It fell down!"
When the two of them heard this, they immediately fell silent. After a while, they murmured: "That's really a waste."
Zhao You, who was tall and powerful, was leading the way and nodded in agreement: "It's really a waste, especially the ones that haven't been moved."
"When I was in the palace, when the late emperor and his concubines held a large banquet or a small banquet, if any of the concubines took two more bites, they would be teased as 'having never seen the world' and 'as if they had never eaten before'," Wen Mingtang He said, "Most of the banquet dishes have to be thrown away. If it is a private banquet for any concubine, and when the concubine is in a good mood, the food will be given to the palace people below."
Speaking of this, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but say in a low voice: "When the late emperor was in power, all expenses were extremely extravagant." He said with emotion, "After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he probably felt so unhappy. Okay, I encourage frugality."
frugal? But some people can go beyond this sacred mandate.
Tang Yuan pursed her lips, and inexplicably thought of her father's compassionate money that was coldly rejected by the people from the internal affairs office. She couldn't help but feel a knot in her heart, and whispered: "The wine and meat of the Zhumen are smelly, and the bones are frozen to death on the road."
Isn’t that what Princess Jing is like?
While they were sighing, they heard a sudden exclamation from the front of the crowd. With a "bang", fireworks exploded not far away. Wen Mingtang and others instinctively raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.
Not far away, I saw several fireworks rising into the sky from the top of the Star Reaching Tower, blooming brilliantly in the night sky. Hundreds of flowers competed in the sky, making the entire top of the Star Reaching Tower as bright as day.
If you have good eyesight, you can vaguely see the interlacing light and shadow of fireworks, and there are several figures on the top floor who seem to be talking.
Wen Mingtang glanced at it, and when he was about to look away, he saw something seemed to happen between the people who were talking. There seemed to be a figure among them who stretched out his hand, and a figure standing against the railing on the top floor was pushed. Staggering, he fell backwards and fell out of the Star Building.
"Not good!" Wen Mingtang's face changed drastically and he subconsciously exclaimed.
There were several other people who said "no". Obviously, Wen Mingtang was not the only one who saw this scene.
Human instinct is to subconsciously move forward when seeing this scene.
However, no matter how quick the reaction at the feet is, how can it compare to the fall of a person falling from a tall building?
Wen Mingtang has never felt so light and airy as he does now. Like a boat floating in the sea, it was instantly covered by the waves and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The moment the person came into contact with the ground, there was a loud "bang" sound.
Many people had not even had time to say the word "bad" or "good" before the person had already fallen to the ground and hit the ground hard.
In front of the empty space in front of the Zhai Xing Building stood two clerks, one on the left and one on the right. No matter how many pedestrians there were today, the area in front of the Zhai Xing Tower was empty. The two clerks standing on the left and right kept chasing away the approaching pedestrians.
Therefore, as the crowd approached that place, a circle of open space was automatically formed. Amidst the brilliance of fireworks and firecrackers, in full view of everyone, the figure who fell from the Star Picking Tower appeared so clearly in front of everyone's eyes.
The originally noisy crowd was stagnant for a moment, and soon, screams began one after another.
Zhao You, who was happily looking down at the crowd with his tall figure just a moment ago, suddenly panicked. He exerted force on his feet and subconsciously squeezed towards the Star Reaching Tower while stammering in panic: " That figure... looks so familiar, I... I seem to have just seen that robe..."
Wen Mingtang and others' hearts suddenly sank: "Zhaixinglou", "acquaintance", and "just saw it". As soon as these three words came out, an unpleasant feeling arose spontaneously.
Taking advantage of the loosening of the crowd in front, the group of people moved forward vigorously.
After pushing through the crowds of people and finally reaching the bottom of the Star Reaching Building, that familiar face was lying calmly on the ground looking at the prosperity of the world, with blood gradually spreading underneath him.
