Chapter 1428: It’s that simple to make your wish come true
Mr. Zheng volunteered to serve as the guest.
Because he himself held a low official position, he took the initiative to ask to accompany these guests who also held low official positions.
Of course, the seating arrangements are very particular.
Lord Zheng's table is almost at the edge.
It is precisely because of this that the person just now dared to speak like this without fear of being heard.
However, he didn't know the relationship between Lord Zheng and the Su family.
Lord Zheng chuckled twice and said, "Ordinary people really can't enjoy such a feast. You all have really broadened your horizons today!"
After saying this, he pointed to a small white porcelain bowl and said, "How many people in Dayan have been busy their entire lives and never been able to eat this bowl of preserved vegetable braised pork?"
Then, pointing to a large white porcelain bowl, he continued, "This is a bowl of pork stewed with vermicelli. How many people in the world dream of having a bite during the New Year after working hard all year?"
After Lord Zheng finished speaking, he threw out a one-pound bomb without caring how ugly the man's face was.
"As far as I know, most of the dishes today use Ganoderma lucidum as a side dish. Not only are they delicious and unique, they also have the effect of prolonging life and maintaining health!"
"What?! Ganoderma lucidum?" someone exclaimed. "There's Ganoderma lucidum in here?"
"Are you kidding? How is that possible?" Someone said in shock. "I heard that Ganoderma lucidum is only mentioned in medical books, and no one has ever seen it."
"That's right! Even if it exists, Ganoderma lucidum is so rare and precious. Who would be willing to use it for cooking?" Someone said with disbelief on his face.
"That's right... If this is used as a side dish, how much meat Ganoderma lucidum will be needed?" Someone widened his eyes.
Lord Zheng snorted coldly and gave these people a look of surprise.
"No matter how rare something is, it's no big deal to Princess Fude!" Lord Zheng said proudly, "The health pills developed by Princess Fude contain Ganoderma lucidum."
"Furthermore, the pills Princess Fude sold to the old man of the Su family for 100,000 taels of silver and that saved his life also contained Ganoderma lucidum."
After Lord Zheng finished speaking, he used his eyes to express his meaning.
——The fact that you don’t know these things only shows that you are narrow-minded and unqualified!
At this time, Old Man Su stood up, holding a wine glass, and said loudly with a flushed face: "Thank you all for taking the time to come. I am very grateful. I will toast to everyone first!"
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass.
King Cheng'en laughed heartily and said, "Brother Su, you are too polite. Come on, let's do it together!"
With Prince Cheng'en taking the lead, Prince Ning and Prince Xiaoyao also raised their glasses and drank them all.
As a result, the other guests naturally raised their glasses and drank.
Prince Cheng'en looked at the large bowls nested inside the small bowls on the table and said curiously, "Brother Su, your meal is really fresh and affordable!"
Before Old Man Su could say anything, Lord Xia said with a smile, "Your Highness, you may not know that in Daliushu Village, the entire village looks forward to enjoying a feast like this from the Su family! Whenever there's a wedding in Old Man Su's family, the whole village is filled with laughter, and all the men, women, and children in the village happily flock to the Su family..."
Lord Xia described the lively scene in vivid detail.
Finally, with a look of nostalgia on his face, he said, "In Brother Su's yard, there were big iron pots set up, the fire was burning fiercely, and the meat in the pot was bubbling... The whole yard, no, the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat and laughter..."
As Lord Xia continued his narration, all the guests were automatically brought back to the scene at that time.
Even has a sense of picture.
Of course, there are also those who are full of disdain.
Only a poor family would do this!
After hearing what Lord Xia said, King Cheng'en said with regret, "Brother Su, why didn't I meet you earlier? Otherwise, I would definitely go to your village for a feast!"
Prince Ning said, "If that's the case, I'd like to go and see it for myself."
"Hahaha... isn't it easy for the two princes to go?" Old Man Su laughed and said, "I will return to my hometown someday. If the two princes don't mind the simple countryside, you can go with me."
Although Old Man Su said this, he also knew that Prince Cheng'en and Prince Ning were of noble status and could not leave Beijing easily.
Master Xia smiled and said, "Old Fifth has married now. When Old Brother Su returns home, he will definitely hold another wedding. He will definitely set up the big iron pot in the yard again."
After Lord Xia finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued, "When the time comes, there will be more than just these things stewed in the big iron pot. There will also be various game. Phoenix Mountain is not only rich in prey, but also many seasonal wild fruits. Adding some of these when cooking will make the taste unique..."
Before Lord Xia finished speaking, he felt a little greedy.
When he was in Qingzhou Prefecture, Tang Bao often sent people to deliver things to the Xia family.
Lord Xia didn't know that some things were specialties of Phoenix Mountain and were subject to seasonal restrictions.
He just ate and didn't ask any questions. After he came to the capital, the taste of some dishes changed. Only then did he realize that some things were difficult to buy even if you had money.
King Xiaoyao was moved by what he heard.
He could go for a walk.
If I find Shuang'er, maybe I can go to that Big Willow Village and live in seclusion for a while...
At this time, King Xiaoyao did not know that sometimes making your wishes come true is actually very simple.
Old Man Su laughed heartily and said, "Today, I am entertaining you all with the custom of my hometown—big bowls and old banquets. I hope you will not mind the vulgarity. Please..."
As soon as Old Man Su finished speaking, Prince Cheng'en picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of steamed pork with rice flour, and said, "I must try it today. This big bowl of traditional food is the real deal!"
After saying that, he put the meat into his mouth.
The pork slices are cut very thinly, as if crystal clear.
It melts in your mouth, is not greasy, and has a light fruity fragrance.
King Cheng'en's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"Not bad, not bad. This is the first time I've tasted something like this."
As soon as Prince Cheng'en finished speaking, Prince Ning and Prince Xiaoyao also stretched out their chopsticks.
Other guests also started eating.
With the prince taking the lead, they all had to follow.
Although, I don't agree with it in my heart.
How delicious can the dishes cooked in this big iron pot be?
However, he was soon slapped in the face.
Regardless of whether they like the taste of the dish, just the additions made their blood boil.
Because, Lord Zheng asked Old Man Su loudly.
"Brother Su, I heard that some of today's dishes have Ganoderma lucidum added to them. Is that true?"
Of course it is true!
Otherwise, Lord Zheng wouldn't have asked so loudly, right?
He asked this question just to tell everyone that the Su family's banquet was the best banquet!
Old Man Su was stunned.
How does he know these things?
