Chapter 305: Banquet



There are corridors on the left and right, spanning the water to connect to the lake. Looking out, you can see a vast expanse of clear blue. Just looking at the water, your heart and eyes also become clear.

The entire floor of the hall is paved with transparent pure spirit stones, and under the floor is a huge fish pond.

There is a group of brightly colored fish in it.

As soon as they stepped in, someone exclaimed: "Wow! Why is the ground transparent?"

"Will this not collapse?" It was Yu Linglong who spoke. She hesitated and did not dare to move forward.

Xiao San said, "Don't worry, even if a few hundred more people come, the ground won't collapse. You can go ahead and step on it."

He walked in leisurely, and with every step he took, the fish below scattered casually, like a gorgeous flower blooming under his feet.

The scene was so beautiful that it was hard to describe.

"There are so many fish in there! So beautiful..."

"How is this done? It's amazing!"

"Won't the fish suffocate in there?"

The fish under the floor alone caused a lot of discussion among the crowd.

After seeing enough of the novelty, everyone took their seats under the guidance of the maids.

This banquet adopted the system of separate dining, with each person having a soft couch and a carved lacquer table.

The soft couch is long and narrow, about one and a half meters long, with a backrest and armrests. One can sit, lie down or recline on it, as comfortable as possible, making it convenient for everyone to enjoy the banquet in various postures.

On the table stood a black lacquered and gold-painted sunflower storage box with a transparent lid. Nine small sunflower-shaped plates could be seen inside, with a round one in the middle. Each box contained a kind of snack.

There are melon seeds, peanuts, nuts, raisins, crispy candies, osmanthus cakes, etc.

This is for everyone to fill their stomachs before the banquet.

There is also a fruit plate, a black silver plum blossom self-pouring pot, an assorted enamel cup, etc.

The fruit plate was filled with fresh and sweet fruits, oranges, grapes, melons, green dates...the whole plate was filled with bright colors.

The black silver plum blossom poured itself into the pot, which was already full of wine. It was all right to pour and drink by itself.

There are also four snacks: white-skinned crispy cakes, rice cakes, rose-scented steamed dumplings, and deep-fried magnolia slices.

And four cold appetizers: white sliced ​​chicken, braised beef in soy sauce, preserved egg with tofu, and cold lotus root slices.

Fill a long table with things.

Next to the table, there is a two-layer low shelf, with a basin of water and a cloth on the top for guests to wash their hands before eating. There is a trash can at the bottom, where fruit peels, melon seed shells, etc. can be thrown in.

The seats are divided into left and right, with thirty-five desks on each side, five horizontally and seven vertically. Each column corresponds to a heavenly stem. The left side has the five heavenly stems Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, and Wu, and the right side has the five heavenly stems Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

Then each column is named by heavenly stem + number.

For example, counting down the first column on the left is: A1, A2, A3, A4... all the way to A7, and the second column is B1, B2, B3...B7.

There is a reason for this arrangement, which will be revealed at the auction later.

Next to the desk in front of each guest, there is a tall table with toothpicks, straw paper and other items placed on it.

There is also a stick tube, which contains several bamboo sticks about the width of a finger, with the guest's seat number engraved on the top.

Behind each row of seats, near the window, there is a bamboo cushion embroidered with a crabapple pattern, on which sits a maid. The maids all have neat buns on their heads, wear no jewelry, and wear green narrow-sleeved, cross-collared skirts.

If the guests need anything, they can call the maids at any time. For every five maids in green skirts, there is another maid in blue, who is equivalent to the foreman.

Most of the people present were well-informed, but they were still shocked by the grandeur of the banquet.

All the food prepared on the table was exquisite and delicious, the other small items were also meticulous and thoughtful, and the maids were all pretty and beautiful.

The fresh and charming floral scent wafts in, and everything is so soothing.

Bai Xiaoshu took a bite of the shortbread, and an expression of intoxication and surprise appeared on her face. The deliciousness of the shortbread was secondary. The key point was that the shortbread was made of spiritual materials! The full spiritual energy entered her stomach along with the food, and gently merged into her meridians, making her feel as if she was in a hot spring, indescribably comfortable.

She then tried the other foods one by one, and found that each one was spiritual food! The shock in her heart was beyond words.

Who on earth is that Manor Master Shen?! If possible, she really wanted to pack up all the food and take it back for her family to taste, but doing so would be too embarrassing.

She is a guest, how can she eat and take at the same time? It would be better if she can buy it.

In order not to waste these spiritual foods, Bai Xiaoshu finished the food on the table elegantly and quickly.

Qin Xiaoyue was sitting next to her, also concentrating on eating!

It's so delicious! Why is there such delicious food! Why did she have to eat breakfast in the morning? It would be better to save her stomach! In front of real food, who can be reserved? They are all eating.

Of course, people like Gu Xueting, Luo Yaoyao and Master Changfeng are excluded.

Because they have tasted the delicious food made by Shen Yizi countless times.

So I can still remain calm at this moment.

Seeing other people eating in an uneasy manner, they couldn't help but feel a great sense of superiority.

Luo Yaoyao looked at Wen Daoming (a master of jade carving) who was eating so hard that his beard was trembling, with pity in his eyes. He was so pitiful. He had lived to such an old age but had never tasted real food.

Wen Daoming noticed his gaze and looked over. Luo Yaoyao's expression immediately changed. He picked up a biscuit and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up as he chewed.

Wen Daoming felt like he had found an ally: "Isn't it delicious? But there are too few of them, only four on a plate."

As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully, and bits of crumbs fell off his beard.

Luo Yaoyao said calmly: "It's OK, just average."

Wen Daoming paused while eating. Is this considered ordinary? This old man is quite crazy.

The next sentence he said was: "These are just some appetizers. When the main course comes, you will know what delicious food is."

"How do you know?"

Luo Yaoyao knew how to act cool, and said with a faint smile: "Because Master Shen is my disciple."

Then you will see the other person's expression of envy and jealousy as you wish.

A maid in green clothes at the back said from the conch in her hand: "It's time to serve the main course."

The conch in her hand was naturally no ordinary object, but a voice-transmitting conch.

The talking conches are paired in pairs, and the sound received by one can be transmitted through the other.

Shen Yizi had exchanged it from the grocery store specifically for today's banquet.
