Chapter 435: Reception

The demise of Southern Yan was inevitable.

Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu only took Jinling, and the rest was divided between Northern Zhou and Northern Jin.

As for the territory of Southern Chu, Princess Rongyang only asked for five cities, namely Jiangcheng, Fancheng, Yicheng, Xiangcheng and Yangcheng. The rest were divided equally between Northern Zhou and Northern Jin.

Now, Northern Zhou and Northern Jin are evenly matched in strength and dare not act rashly.

Princess Rongyang can set off and meet Princess Ronghua in Jinling.

"Tu Mi, this welcoming banquet must be grand." Zhu Huaizhen yawned repeatedly.

I have been feeling a little sleepy lately. Could it be spring sleepiness? Oh no, it’s autumn now, so it’s autumn sleepiness.

"Your Highness, are you still going to listen to the opera?" Tu Mi joked.

Zhu Huaizhen had just finished listening to an act of "Peach Blossom Fan".

Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.

Of course, I also finished a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.

"Let's listen to a piece of "The Peony Pavilion". Big sister likes it." Zhu Huaizhen yawned again, his eyes watery.

It turns out that all the vibrant flowers are now abandoned to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What can be done about the beautiful scenery? Who can enjoy the joyful moments? Morning flies and evening rolls away, clouds and mists adorning the emerald pavilion; raindrops and wind, misty waves and painted boats - the people of the brocade screen look down upon this beautiful time.

"Your Highness, what does Princess Rongyang like to eat? I'll ask Qiu Niang to prepare it in advance." Tu Mi asked softly.

After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen exclaimed and felt a little troubled.

Her elder sister is not particular about food.

Generally speaking, whatever food she prefers, her older sister will eat.

"Then let's eat abalone." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.

So, Tu Mi asked Qiu Niang to prepare an abalone feast.

The wrinkled abalone has a large and solid shell with three layers of conch. It can be steamed with chopped peppers, braised, or used in chicken soup. The meat is tender and flexible with an excellent taste.

Nanri abalone is brightly colored, with holes in its shell and barnacles. It has a tender and delicate texture and is also very delicious when braised, steamed, or used in soups.

Jipin abalone originates from Fuso. This tiny nation has been destroyed and revived, reborn and lost again, like a centipede that persists even after death. However, Fuso's Jipin abalone is smaller, shaped like a gold ingot, and is deliciously stewed, sashimi-cooked, and braised.

Black abalone is jet black and several times larger than other abalone. It is used for sashimi, pan-frying, and dicing. It has a sweet and mellow taste, a firm and elastic texture, and a fresh and tender taste.

Red abalone is huge in size and has a brick-red appearance. It is used for sashimi, sliced ​​and stir-fried, and salt-baked. Its meat is thick, tender and delicious.

The small Hema abalone lives in rock crevices and is hung on hooks to dry in the sun. It is used for sashimi and soup. Its golden color and tender meat make it an excellent dried abalone.

On the night of the welcoming banquet, Zhu Huaizhen was full of hope and planned to meet Zhu Huaishu, eat abalone and talk about men, and be a pair of ordinary sisters, very happy and carefree.

Unfortunately, she met an unexpected guest.
