Seeing that this meal was going to be unpleasant, the tenth brother said: "Brother Ninth, get ready to eat, be careful to cool it down." He remembered that Brother Ninth said that he would eat shrimp for lunch, and that the fishy smell was cooled down.
Brother Jiu immediately ordered He Yuzhu to serve food.
Although there were two more "uninvited guests" today, every time Shu Shu asked someone to deliver food, there was plenty of food, and plenty of dishes and chopsticks.
Brother Fourteen was no longer in the mood to argue and went over to watch He Yuzhu open the food box. When the food box was opened, he noticed a difference.
"Is this insulated?"
The fourteenth elder brother turned his head, looked at the ninth elder brother, and asked.
Brother Jiu said with a bit of pride: "Hey, aren't you afraid that the food will get cold? Your sister-in-law had some food boxes remodeled a while ago."
A cotton lining is added inside, and the outside of the cotton lining is covered with cowhide, making the food box tightly sealed.
Not to mention a three-mile stretch from Di'anmen Street to Xihuamen. It takes a quarter of an hour to load the food, but the food inside is still warm and the meat oil will not solidify.
Therefore, now that the food is open and placed, it still looks piping hot and fills the room with aroma.
Among them, there are two dishes of sea white shrimp, one is the dry pot shrimp with cucumber strips mentioned by Brother Jiu, and the other is the steamed open-back shrimp with garlic paste.
There are two dishes of yellow croaker, one is boiled fish, and the other is braised fish in sauce. There are two conch courses, one is spicy conch slices, and the other is conch meat fried with leeks.
There are two dishes of clams, one is clams and eggs, and the other is clams and winter melon soup.
There are two courses of sea oysters, one is oyster omelette and the other is oysters with garlic sauce. There are two courses of hairtail, one is dry-fried hairtail and the other is smoked hairtail.
There are two dishes of conger eel, one is charcoal grilled eel and the other is steamed eel with soy sauce.
There are also four side dishes: cold jellyfish, cold scallop meat, boiled octopus, and cold kelp sprouts. A dish of seafood porridge.
A dish of steamed mackerel dumplings.
One dish of seafood risotto and one dish of shrimp pot stickers.
One after another, everyone was dumbfounded.
Eating seafood is not popular in Beijing. Apart from fish and shrimp, which are common and eaten in different ways, most of the dishes here have never been eaten before.
Under the dry pot shrimp and charcoal grilled eel, there is also a small charcoal stove to keep the dish from getting cold when lit.
Brother Jiu said proudly: "It's not a rare thing. Some of it is cheaper than pork. I just want to change it and try it occasionally."
The third elder brother was vaguely disappointed.
Compared with pork and mutton, fish, shrimp and meat look plain.
Although this processing method looks thick and oily, but fish is fish, how can it be as delicious as meat? This one is fancy and more like watching a DVD.
The fourteenth elder brother swallowed his saliva. Seeing the third elder brother not moving his chopsticks, he urged: "Third elder brother, hurry up. It will get cold for a while. Then the third elder brother picked up his chopsticks. After a moment of hesitation, he took the first bite of grilled conger eel. went.
The outside of this one is brushed with sauce, and it looks oily. It doesn't seem that plain.
When he entered the mouth, Brother San felt something was wrong. It was too fragrant. When he ate it, it felt like he had eaten half a mouthful of oil. The eel spines should be picked out. It tastes just right and there is no need to pick the spines.
Others also started to move.
Brother Jiu directly picked up a cucumber strip from the dry pot shrimp. The peel was removed and it became more tender. The fruit was raw before being lit, so it can be eaten as soon as it is hot. It has a taste of green bamboo shoots, which is better than Shrimp meat is more delicious.
He mentioned this dish to Shu Shu just for this bite of cucumber. Others were already feasting.
The third elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother all chose the red and bright ones to eat first. Most of them were spicy and appetizing.
The fourth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother always had a light diet, so they started eating from side dishes, and gradually they became a little faster with chopsticks.
After tasting a round of dishes, and then the porridge, rice, pot stickers and dumplings, Brother Fourteen had his own choice. Eel is delicious, hairtail and croaker are also good, but others are worse.
Third brother also thinks eel is good, followed by garlic oysters.
Brother Jiu had two cucumber strips, two open-backed shrimps, one chopstick of conch slices, and one chopstick of kelp seedlings, and that was about it.
Seeing that everyone had also slowed down, the ninth elder brother asked the tenth elder brother: "There are two lawsuits in the morning. What about the last one? What is Longkodo's father-in-law suing? Are you suing Longkodo for abducting people from the household?"
The case of Jueluo Jinshan still makes people sigh and sympathize with him. This Longkodo's father-in-law seems ridiculous.
His maid and concubine had been Long Keduo's foreign residence for several years, and she was raised openly and openly on the other side of Shichahai, not far from the Hesheli family's house.
You pretended to be blind a few years ago, and now you are jumping out to use this matter to make trouble? This bastard hat is worn tightly.
The tenth elder brother swallowed all the food in his mouth and said: "I accused Longkodo of being "unfaithful" and abducting his concubine's aunt. He also accused Longkodo of alienating human flesh and blood, and falsely recorded the flesh and blood of the Hesheli family born to the Li family. Registered in the Tong family!"
Brother Jiu remembered that the concubine raised by the Jueluo family was actually a flesh and blood of the Hesheli family?
He remembered clearly that he, Fujin, even praised the child a few times, saying that he was good-looking and well-educated, but it was a pity for him to be born.
Brother Fourteen asked directly: "What do you mean? When Long Keduo robbed his uncle's little wife, the little wife kicked the child in her belly?"
The third elder brother also thought it was ridiculous and said: "No, no matter how capable Long Ke is, the old man and the old lady will not agree! If the bloodline is unknown, then Mrs. Tong will go to all the trouble to hire a Jueluo girl to go back to that Child as foster mother?
Love the house and the bird, there is no love like this.
The fourth elder brother did not say anything, but he knew that Longkodo's uncle dared to mention this, and the child's date of birth was vague and difficult to tell clearly.
Otherwise, if you conceive in ten months, there is a deadline, and it doesn’t matter whose bloodline the child is. The Thirteenth Brother said: "If you pretend to be someone from the country, you will be guilty of a serious crime."
The fourteenth elder brother was surprised and said: "Then Li Si'er is so beautiful that he becomes a fairy? How much does Long Keduo love the house and the bird so much that he can't even bear to give the little one back to his uncle?"
Brother Si felt a little disgusted. This was unethical.
If that child is really a bloodline of the Hesheli family, she is Mrs. Longkodo's biological sister and Longkodo's biological cousin. Is it "love the house and the bird" to treat the cousin as a concubine?
This is inhumane!
The twelfth elder brother lowered his eyes, noncommittal.
Longkodo robbed his uncle and father-in-law's maids and concubines, not in a day or two, and he didn't hide it from anyone. Does the emperor really not know about this?
The emperor respected etiquette, so why did he turn a blind eye to something that was against etiquette and law?
It can be seen that in the heart of the emperor's father, etiquette is not that important.
There is also a need to divide people, and divide the royal father's holy family.
There are also imperial censors, aren't they impeaching even the bachelors? Ninth Brother arrived late and left early several times, and he was impeached by them.
But Longkodo has such bad personal ethics and bad records, why did they silence him? The twelfth prince had many doubts and felt that the world was chaotic.
The thirteenth elder brother also thought of Longkodo's reputation and said: "This matter has a greater impact than the chaos in the inner house. No matter whether the child is from the Hesheli family or the Tong family, Longkodo is unfilial."
Manchus attach great importance to in-laws, uncles being the most important.
If it was the father-in-law's concubine that was being robbed, although it wouldn't sound good, it would be more like a romantic lawsuit; but it was still an uncle, so it was different.
The concubine's aunt is also an aunt, so Longkodo's move is against the will of heaven and earth.
Brother Jiu said: "This is "breaking the drum and beating it with thousands of people", right? I guess there will be complaints from the clan government in the next two days...
Speaking of this, he thought of the Dong family and said: "Is there no movement in the Dong family? Longkodo used his power to occupy the official house where the family has lived for several generations, and kicked him out..."
Brother Ten shook his head and said, "No, he probably won't show up."
Brother Jiu frowned with dissatisfaction and said: "Isn't the dressing rampant? Why are you becoming more honest now? Really, are they more afraid of their relatives than the princes?"
The third elder brother said: "If it's not the same weight, there's nothing fair or unfair. The wrapping is just like that, it's just a fierce look but a soft heart."
The most important thing is that Baoyi has been dealt with several times in the past two years. Two or three of the family members have been destroyed, and the whole family has been destroyed like the Fucha family. Who dares to pick them out randomly?
No matter how miserable the Tong family is, they are still the emperor's maternal family. They are the emperor's servants, and they dare not offend their dignity by being humble.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "They are just chicken thieves, so they should wait for news from Qianqing Palace. Unless Khan Ama punishes Longkoduo, they will throw stones secretly."
The fourteenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, if you are vague about those days, do you have to shed blood to recognize your relatives?"
Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "Maybe, but it may not be accurate. Longkodo also has the blood of the Hesheli family, and his uncle and nephew also have the same blood."
The fourteenth elder brother asked curiously: "What should I do if I can't tell the difference? Is it the princess of the Hesheli family or the princess of the Tong family?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I don't know, it depends on how the Tong family arranges it."
As for Longkodo and Li Si'er, there are more and more charges now, and they may not be able to escape. Even if he didn't die, he would probably be whipped and sent to Ning Guta.
At that time, it will be up to Mrs. Longkodo as to what to do with little Princess, whether she will be raised in the Tong family or sent back to the Hesheli family.
With these two pieces of gossip, everyone had lunch.
Although today's food is better than yesterday's, but there are two more people, so we only eat a disc.
The Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother had classes in the afternoon, so they put down their chopsticks and left in a hurry as it was about time. The fourth elder brother also heard about it and came out as he had no further questions to ask alone.
Here, the tenth elder brother made an appointment with the ninth elder brother to go to the Yamen, and then left with the fourth elder brother.
The room on duty was filled with the smell of food. Brother Jiu was disgusted and told He Yuzhu, "Hurry up and open the window to let out the smell. It's going to kill you."
He Yuzhu started to open the window and said with a smile: "It smells delicious. This spicy taste is addictive. I will feel greedy if I don't eat for a few days." After hearing this, Brother Jiu said: "Didn't I harvest a lot of peppers this year? Eat it if you want. .”
The peppers produced at our own farm are not that big of a deal. Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns are a little more expensive, but they are acceptable.
He Yuzhu responded: "That night, I will add boiled meat slices. That one is delicious. It will be delicious with any dish placed underneath. It can be served with rice..."
"Go out!"
Brother Jiu glanced at He Yuzhu with disgust and said: "There are seafood, I will give you a plate of shrimps and a plate of fish, and have a good drink with Shuida in the evening. Shuida has rheumatism and drinks medicinal wine. Come and see Let’s see how many people there are. If they are about the same, I’ll call someone else to match..."
Some people died, but not completely...
