Chapter 358: Smells so good that I want to die
The onlookers were shocked by Su Yi's painting skills, which included details such as every leaf and every pavilion. Some people could even find themselves in the paintings.
Among the onlookers, there were many talented people with great attainments in painting, but after seeing Su Yi's paintings, they could not help but praise and admire him.
Once this wedding banquet picture is released, it is likely to cause quite a stir.
To be honest, many great scholars have painted Night Banquet Pictures, but their paintings are not as colorful as Su Yi's, and the characters in them are not as vivid as those in Su Yi's paintings. Even if it is a small one, you can tell who this person is.
He used a very clever design. Fluorescent powder was added to the painting. As long as you look at it from an angle with light, you can see that names are carefully added above each character.
There were so many people here that it was a bit inconvenient for Su Yi as his view was blocked.
"Please give me some respect. I need some quiet time to paint. I will invite you to appreciate the wedding banquet painting after it is completed."
He tactfully expressed his intention to clear the area. Since everyone was not a shameless person, and Su Yi's attitude was so gentle, they naturally dispersed obediently and went about their business.
However, there are still many people who are thinking about this matter and want to be the first to see what the wedding banquet picture will look like after it is completed.
Su Yi is likely to become famous today with his painting of the Su Mansion wedding banquet.
In addition, when the Grand Secretary was chatting with the Emperor a few days ago, he also mentioned Su Yi. Some time ago, the Emperor wanted to ask the court painter to draw a portrait of himself at this age. The Empress and the other concubines in the harem also needed new portraits.
He mentioned it to the Grand Secretary by the way. When the Grand Secretary mentioned the portrait, he immediately thought of Su Yi from the Su family.
He once painted portraits of his wife and daughter. I am not exaggerating about his painting skills. He could make the expressions and appearances of people look 70% to 80% similar.
The emperor did not believe it after hearing it, thinking that the Grand Secretary was exaggerating, until the Grand Secretary brought the portrait of his wife wearing the imperial robes to the emperor. Wow, even the emperor had to say that she looked like him.
But at that time, the marriage between the Shen and Su families would be held in a few days, so he did not mention it for the time being. After this matter came to an end, Su Yi would probably be summoned to the palace.
Of course, he himself doesn't know yet that he is about to have this opportunity.
The kitchen of the Su Mansion was bustling with activity, and the chefs were almost catching fire from swinging their big spoons.
The fragrance continued to emanate from the kitchen, and could be faintly smelled in the front yard.
To be honest, I have never been so impressed by the delicious food at any other wedding.
Because it has a completely different taste, an indescribable flavor.
They don’t know it’s spicy now, but they will know it later.
"The food at Minister Su's residence smells so good."
"Yeah, I smelled it too. It looks delicious. When will the feast start?"
"It seems to be the afternoon, almost."
At noon, the guests all had tea and snacks, a variety of teas accompanied by snacks, and the main meal was served in the afternoon. This is the standard for wedding banquets.
All the dishes in the kitchen have been prepared, and now they just need to be served. Su Yun is so busy that he keeps his feet on the ground and gives orders everywhere.
Gu Yue also looked for him everywhere, but unfortunately couldn't find him.
Each prince's palace sent people to deliver gifts. The seventh prince, the sixth prince, and the fifth prince even came to the Su Mansion in person to congratulate.
Su Jing was already a little drunk, but he still had to come out to greet him in person.
Murong Huai was quite casual. As soon as he arrived, he looked around, looking for his old friend.
Murong Sheng and the Sixth Prince exchanged a lot of polite words, and Su Jing arranged for them to take their seats.
When Gu Yue saw Murong Sheng coming, they exchanged glances from a distance. Pink bubbles surrounded Gu Yue, which showed that their relationship was very sweet.
However, they might not be able to sit at the same table today, because the Su family has arranged separate tables for men and women.
Su Wan and the others stayed in the bridal chamber, chatting with Shen Qingli until the banquet started in the front yard. Liuyun came to inform her, and then she took Princess Jiacheng and Sun Linger to the banquet.
When they arrived at the front yard, they found that Murong Huai and others had also arrived. The two exchanged glances and nodded to each other.
Soldering iron, long time no see.
Su Yi's wedding banquet painting could not be completed in one day. He could only draw a rough outline and then slowly perfect the details.
The princes all sat together tacitly today. It was self-evident why the fifth prince Murong Sheng came here.
He needed to win over Su Jing, so he came in person. Murong Huai came in person only because of his good relationship with Su Chen.
He didn't need to win over Su Chen, because Su Chen would automatically stand on his side anyway.
Before the meal started, Su's father needed to come out and give a speech. Today, all the guests were dignitaries and it was his first time to participate in such an occasion. As the host, he was quite nervous.
The dishes on the table were very novel, and the aroma of food filled the entire yard. No one in Kyoto had ever seen such cuisine.
It's red and pungent, but it makes people very appetizing.
"Thank you all for attending my son Su Jing's wedding today. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. Today's banquet will be hosted by Jingdu Chenglou. I hope you all enjoy the food and drinks. Thank you."
Father Su's words were very brief but exquisite, and he expressed everything that needed to be expressed.
The banquet officially began. Gu Yue sat at a table with a few daughters of small families who she was friends with. It was only then that she saw Su Yun.
Seeing that everyone was eager to try and showed curiosity about his food, Su Yun grinned from ear to ear.
He walked to the table of Su Mu and Dr. Su Yisun with ease.
The eldest and third brothers were going to entertain the princes, and Jiang Yu also sat with them, wearing a mask. Today, he transformed himself into an emotionless wine-blocking machine, reducing his presence to zero.
After the meal started, everyone couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks to eat the food, especially Murong Huai. When he saw the braised pork with chili, stewed pork, sour soup fish, mutton hot pot, etc., he started to swallow his saliva.
This can be seen without the contribution of the soldering iron.
After taking a bite, the braised pork was fat but not greasy, soft and fragrant, the sourness of the sour soup fish was just right, which whetted my appetite. The braised pork tasted just like those in modern braised food restaurants, or even better, and the scallion flowers were so fragrant that I wanted to die.
I was moved to tears. It was so moving. Murong Huai hadn't eaten chili peppers for several years. I was so moved.
Everyone present was impressed by the novel dishes and praised them highly. With six people at the table, the rich girls who loved spicy food didn't care about their image at all and took chopsticks one after another.
Those who can eat spicy food will find themselves in a new world, while those who can’t will enjoy the sour soup fish and mutton hotpot with some fresh seasonal vegetables.
There is also a dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables, which is suitable for all ages and goes well with rice. Any socialite who comes here will have to drink four bowls of rice before leaving.
The banquet at Minister Su’s house was so delicious that everyone remembered that it was Chenglou’s food and they would definitely go and try it again after it opened.
Others also thought that if there was a happy event at home, they would ask Chenglou’s chef to take care of it.
