Chapter five hundred hospitality(2/2)
Although Wu Xie did not know how to appreciate artworks, he was also infected by beautiful porcelain with a natural instinct.
Liang Shicheng saw the surprised expression in his eyes. He smiled and said, "These porcelains are all things in the palace, and it is rare for ordinary people to see them. Today I specially asked someone to take them from the palace to open the eyes of the envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom."
Zhao Liangsi quickly introduced Liang Shicheng's identity to the Jin envoy: "This is the edict of the prosecutor, the junior tutor, Kaifu Yi and the three corps Liang Xianggong. Our Emperor of Song Dynasty usually has to be handed over by Liang Xianggong before it can be promulgated to the world."
When Wu Xie and Gao Qingyi heard that this man was an official at the prime minister level beside the emperor, they became respectful.
Liang Shichengqian smiled and continued to introduce the porcelain on the table: "These porcelains are all produced in Ru kiln and are very beautiful in the sky. Look, this set of lotus petal-style warm wine porcelain pots are bright and shiny, simple and elegant, indifferent and subtle, and profound in artistic conception. Is it beautiful?"
Gao Qingyi praised: "Beauty is really beautiful. I have heard before that the Ru kiln porcelain in the world of Song Dynasty was the best, but I never had the opportunity to watch it. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-known and it was so exquisite."
Liang Shicheng smiled and said, "Go to the table."
After a while, ten dried fruits came first: fried chestnuts, gum dates, Hebei goose pears, Heshuo pomegranates, longans, lychees, olives, warm tangerines, kumquats, and hazelnuts.
There are several kinds of fruits, and I have never heard of them, let alone seen them.
Then, the wine and dishes began to come one after another.
Every time I give a dish, the waiter would loudly report the name of the dish.
Twelve dishes were served, namely: two cooked perilla fish, meat vinegar-supported sausage-supported sand fish, steamed lychee waist, milk-cooked sheep sausage, lotus duck, hand-washed crab, onion-splash rabbit, raw fried lungs, sheep head with weak juice, crab stuffed orange, fresh shrimp hoof sashimi, mandarin duck fried belly.
There is also a soup and soup: Baiwei Soup, Goose Palm Soup.
There are two types of home-made wines in Fanlou, one is "meishou" and the other is "harmony".
Liang Shicheng instructed the waiters to come up with a jar and let the guests taste it.
Wu Xie could eat and drink, so he took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and drank it all.
After drinking three cups in a row, Wu Xieba smacked her lips and felt that the taste of these two wines was very bland. He asked Zhao Liangsi: "Is there any better wine?"
Zhao Liangsi was surprised and said, "The two kinds of wine we drink are the best wines made by Fanlou."
Gao Qingyi smiled and said, "This dish is really good, but the wine tastes too light."
During the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the wines I drank were glutinous rice wine, which tasted lighter, but Gao Qingyi didn't mean that. He obviously had something to say - he thought that since it was an imperial banquet, how could he drink the wine brewed by Fanlou? It should be the imperial banquet that should be drunk.
Liang Shicheng was very smart and immediately understood what Gao Qingyi meant, so he said to Zhao Liangsi: "The taste of this wine is indeed very bland. Go and ask the waiter to bring a jar of Guanglu wine to a jar and ask the messenger to taste it."
After a while, the waiter brought a jar of Guanglu wine.
Zhao Liangsi introduced: "This is called Huangfeng wine, which is also the imperial wine. It's rare. I haven't even drunk it a few times."
Gao Qingyi was very happy. He knew that this was the national wine produced by Guanglu Temple in the Song Dynasty, that is, the imperial wine. The ability to drink this wine means that the banquet specifications are indeed very high.
Liang Shicheng said: "Come on, how does it taste like this wine?"
After opening the bottle, the strong aroma of wine gradually drifted out. When Wu Xie smelled the wine, he praised it: "Good wine, good wine, is worthy of being an imperial wine."
Wu Xie was really good at drinking. After drinking several cups, he smiled more and more on his face and talked more and more, but his legs were a little soft and his eyes were a little confused.
Gradually, Wu Xie's words became increasingly difficult to hear. Suddenly, his body tilted and he suddenly walked out of the seat and walked to the floor.
The next day, the incident of the Jin envoy drunk Fanlou was very popular in Tokyo.
Cai Jing was shocked when he learned about it. He hurriedly entered the palace to meet Zhao Ji, saying: "At the time of his ancestors, they were very etiquette and very sensible in dealing with foreign envoys. They never showed extravagance to prevent their greed. Now, Liang Shoudao actually led the Jin envoy into Fanlou and got him drunk. If this continues, the national affairs are worrying! The old minister risked his life to advise, and ask Your Majesty not to use slander ministers to deal with major military and national affairs."
Cai Jing was crying and couldn't get up after kneeling.
Cai Jing's words made Zhao Ji realize that he might have committed a big taboo.
pity!
The trees have been completed, and Wu Xie and Gao Qingyi have recorded the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, the beauty of the Song Dynasty, and the beauty of the Song Dynasty women. After they go back, they will tell the Jin people one by one.
