Chapter 568 Celebrating Birthday (Part 2)
After the empress finished dressing up, the two sat face to face in the bedroom and smoked e-cigarettes. A large amount of smoke was spit out of their mouths and wrapped them up.
The reason why the Empress likes e-cigarettes is of course because this thing is sweet!
And it's still cold.
The two of them were eating snacks, bit by bite, and the whole hall was filled with a milky smell mixed with the smell of fruit.
The empress looked up from time to time through the glass in the distance and looked outside, feeling moved and wanted to go out for a walk. However, thinking about the hot weather outside, she gave up this idea and stayed in her bedroom with peace of mind.
When my heart came, I saw two people at the door unable to see even their figures. This is not the first time I have seen this picture, so it is not surprising.
It was estimated that the time was almost over, so Ren Baqian said goodbye and left, and went to check some other arrangements. It was not until the evening that he slipped behind his hands behind his back to Xingqing Hall. Whether it was the empress's birthday celebration or the year-end banquet, they were basically here.
It is said to be a hall, but it is actually a large palace, but it has always been opened and only the main hall is used as a banquet for ministers. Most of the other halls have been abandoned for a long time. Even if someone cleans it all the time, it is still a little bit old.
When Ren Baqian entered the hall, many people in the hall were looking up to study the light strips above their heads.
Ren Baqian can carry 1,200 kilograms of things at a time, and it is much easier to carry items. During this period, he brought a lot of lights to put them in the hall. At this time, various colors of light flashed in the air, making the entire hall look like a fairy tale world.
Ren Baqian came in and attracted some people's attention. After nodding, he found his place to wait, and occasionally chatted with Feng Hu in the middle.
Feng Hu was very interested in the winemaking and springs that Ren Baqian had bet on with the Zhang family, especially the spring was also a powerful tool to make a crossbow. Unfortunately, the springs could not be made in the world for the time being.
Neither material nor process can be achieved.
As for winemaking, Ren Baqian was also preparing to establish his own winery for the royal family. After all, in this world, the liquor market is large, the profit is also huge, and it is not suitable for spreading in a short period of time. Especially in Dayao, the grain output has not yet reached the point where it can be used to make large-scale wine.
Ren Baqian was preparing to take out the cotton and textile craftsmanship, and after talking to Fenghou for a few words, Ge Yihong also joined in after hearing a word. Ren Baqian and several ministers of the Ministry of Works formed a small circle and whispered there, which made many people look at each other.
Tong Zhenye didn't know when he came behind the back of several people and listened for a long time, he couldn't help but speak, "Master Ren, do you want to take a position in the Ministry of Works? It's a pity that your talent does not come to the Ministry of Works."
"Master Tong!" Ren Baqian turned his head and said hello. As for going to the Ministry of Works, let's forget it.
Another quarter of an hour later, Shi Qing, Hongwu, Xi Wanya and others arrived and sat down one after another. With the sound of "Your Majesty" in front of the hall, the empress slowly entered the hall in a big red Hanfu and Qingyuan and Hongluan.
After everyone greeted each other, they sat down slowly as the empress sat down at the top of the head.
Then the maids outside the hall brought the dishes into the hall, and everyone's eyes immediately put on Ren Baqian's face.
Everyone was impressed by the dishes at the birthday celebration last year, and many people didn't say much that time.
As soon as the food was served, everyone immediately remembered him and wanted to see something on his face, so they were mentally prepared.
Ren Baqian's kind smile made everyone feel relieved. This year, they are all their own people, and they should be the same as in previous years, right?
However, as the first dish was served, everyone's faces immediately turned dark.
A plate contains a whole blood sausage plated together. Of course, Ren Baqian knew what this was, but others didn't know that, and they lost their appetite to eat when they saw this.
When the second dish came, everyone was thinking about slashing Ren Baqian.
I saw a roasted sheep whip and two sheep eggs neatly placed on the plate. How can this thing be eaten? Does it make people chew? But no matter how you eat this thing, it doesn’t taste right!
Think about a person from the main hall neatly gnawing the sheep whip, the picture is not too beautiful.
Many people stretched their heads to look at the Empress, but found that the Empress's food was completely different from them. They immediately glared at Ren Baqian with a murderous expression on their faces.
The third one is a soup, a copper basin, and a bat as big as a palm is backstroke inside...
This bat soup made everyone lose their appetite immediately.
The fourth one looks good and smells very fragrant. Everyone is watching the things in the bowl become more and more shady. The things in this bowl look edible, right?
In fact, this dish is also a famous dish, braised and cooked. Ren Baqian didn't even have a mouth when he saw it for the first time, but later after eating it under the temptation of others, he found that it tasted pretty good.
The fifth dish - a bowl of raw beef sauce...
The sixth course - a winding roasted water snake...
When everyone saw the sixth dish, they finally felt that there was still one dish that could be eaten this year. Then they continued to look up and stare at Ren Baqian with murderous eyes. You are with us, right?
You're not finished yet, are you?
Ren Baqian was also quite aggrieved. This year's menu only has three items that I provide myself, namely braised and roasted lamb whip and blood sausage.
Other bat soup, raw beef sauce, and roasted water snakes were all developed by the Royal Kitchen.
I don’t know if the imperial kitchen ordered the wrong talent skills, but I actually developed several dark dishes.
Usually, the dishes cooked in the imperial kitchen are eaten by the Empress and Ren Baqian, but no one shared them after they have studied them. Now that the Empress celebrates her birthday, there are so many adults, they have taken out all their skills.
This time I really have nothing to do with me, at most I only have half of it.
The empress looked at everyone's faces, then looked at the food on everyone's table, and then looked at her own, and then ignored it. Anyway, the food she ate seemed to be fine.
Then there is the inscription, which does not have much new meaning, it is just a routine.
Ren Baqian took the opportunity to look around the hall, but Li Fu did not come. After all, Li Fu is the best in the world, so he wanted to invite him for both reason and reason.
I don’t know if Li Fu really doesn’t like this environment, or if he doesn’t want to see Qin Chuan, Tong Zhenye, Tu Wan and others again... he refused directly. He sent someone to invite him just now, but it seemed that he didn’t come at this time.
As the empress drank the first glass of wine, a group of scenic girls first entered the hall to dance a dance. The scenic girls had silver bells hanging around their waists, and the silver bells rang continuously as they danced, which was extremely pleasant. The dance posture was also different from the wildness of ancient girls, full of soft beauty, but it was a different taste.
At least Ren Baqian likes this kind of thing very much, and it looks great whether you wear clothes or not.
