Everyone returned to the inner courtyard. Ren Tianxing saw that there used to be dozens of servants in the inner courtyard, but now there were only a dozen. Ren Tianxing just lamented his failure as the head of the family. A group of servants, 70% of them were moles. The secular joke "We have a traitor among us" should be changed to "A traitor is among us" when used here. No matter how quietly Black Tiger and Blue Dragon did it, most of the remaining servants tomorrow would think that the Ren family was haunted and leave one after another. Ren Tianxing walked in first with a wry smile. Instruct the servants, there is nothing to do tonight, everyone should go and rest.
You Ji seemed to be aware of it, and the black veil shook at Ye Feng. Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and You Ji quickly sent a text message.
In the back room of the inner courtyard, the fat man's stomach growled very unsatisfactorily. Only then did everyone notice that no one had even eaten dinner. When Ren Xiaojin volunteered to cook, everyone's eyes turned green except Ye Feng and You Ji. Isn't this just coming out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den? Are there any laws of heaven or law?
Seeing Jiang Yu, the fat man's eyes pleading for help, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was about to turn around and ask Ren Tianxing for his opinion, but he didn't expect that he would also cast the same look in his direction.
"..." Ye Feng was speechless.
He coughed and said tentatively, "Xiaojin, you see it's already so late. It's too late to do it in a big way. Let's have a Huaxia fast food today."
"What?" Ren Xiaojin seemed to be attracted.
"Hot pot" Ye Feng said, taking out a classic Tai Chi hot pot and placing it in the center of the stone table. Several male compatriots couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. At least they would be able to eat it no matter how much she continued to toss.
Ye Feng then took out the hot pot base and side dishes, various meats, vegetables, etc. from the dragon ring. During this period, Jiang Yu showed off his presence when slicing meat. His sharp wind blade passed by and the meat was neatly and smoothly sliced.
Even the fat man praised "Boss Jiang is so good at it, it would be a pity not to use it to chop vegetables."
Jiang Yu really wanted to kick him to death, but suddenly remembered that his leg was injured and had to give up.
Ye Feng was teaching Ren Xiaojin how to prepare the hot pot base, add alcohol, light the fire, the order of serving dishes, and the configuration of sauces, etc. Ren Tianxing and his wife stood aside, watching everything with smiles.
You Ji stood a little far away from the beginning to the end, watching all this silently, not integrating into it. It's not that she is disdainful, but that she feels she is not qualified to participate.
After everyone sat down, they all looked at You Ji standing in the distance. As the head of the family, Ren Tianxing must speak at this moment. He didn't know how to call him for a moment, Yuji-senpai? ? Little Youji? Finally compromised
"Youji Guliang, let's sit down together."
Youji's veil shook, and everyone knew what she meant at this moment. You Ji looked at Ye Feng in fear. Ye Feng actually smiled and said
"From now on, when we eat together, you must sit down and eat with us. This is an order and cannot be disobeyed."
You Ji was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, Heisha nodded and sat down on the seat next to Ye Feng cautiously. Roll up the black veil slightly until the chin is exposed, so that it is barely convenient for the food to be passed to the mouth, but it can also cover the face as much as possible.
The fat man's dog-licking attribute burst out at this moment; "That's right. Lao Ye trusts you, of course you are one of our own, so you didn't see that my fat man usually just uses those two blind bears to kill, and rarely does it right." What are you talking about? Because you are one of our own and they are outsiders, so from today on I will definitely call you... um..." The fat man thought about the name seriously.
"Just call me Xiao...Ji..."
"Pah" "pah" Ye Feng and Jiang Yu each forced one chicken drumstick into the fat man's mouth.
"Order" Ren Xiaojin directly inserted a fork into the fat man's mouth.
At this moment, You Ji's expression cannot be seen because the black veil on her face is blocking her face. There is no need to look at her at this moment to know that she doesn't look good.
"Your season returns are fucking bloody. Ren Xiaojin, you still throw out a fork, do you want me to die?" The fat man almost choked to death on the chicken leg and coughed desperately.
"Damn fat man, if you're not educated, just read more. If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. You deserve it this time," Jiang Yu scolded with a smile.
Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, looked at You Ji, and nodded as if she was replying.
"Old Ye, what historical allusions do you think hot pot has?" Jiang Yu asked, forcibly changing the subject.
In fact, everyone likes to listen to Ye Feng's analysis, talk, and allusions while eating. Ye Feng always explains difficult problems in a simple way, which is very interesting. Even Ren Tianxing got involved unknowingly, and everyone suddenly felt that if Ye Feng became a teacher, he might really be a great teacher. However, Fang Jin still had a grudge against Ye Feng because of the style of the ghost alliance.
Ye Feng recalled the information he had read before and said slowly;
"Hot pot, known as "antique soup" in ancient times, is named after the "dong" sound it makes when the ingredients are put into boiling water. It is an original delicacy of China and has a long history. According to textual research, the "wodou" unearthed cultural relic of the Eastern Han Dynasty is hot pot. .
In the previous ancient dynasties, Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty's poem "Ask Liu Nineteen": "Green ants have newly fermented wine, and the red clay stove is a small stove. It is snowing in the evening, can you drink a cup without water?" which vividly describes the food at that time. Hot pot scene.
By the Song Dynasty, the way of eating hot pot was already very common among the people. In the Yuan Dynasty, hot pot spread to Mongolia and was used to cook beef and mutton. By the Qing Dynasty, hot pot was not only popular among the people, but also became a famous "palace dish". The Qing palace imperial meal menu included "game hot pot", and the ingredients were pheasants and other game. Emperor Qianlong was addicted to eating hot pot. According to legend, in the first month of the first year of Jiaqing, he held a grand "Thousands of Old Banquet" in the palace. More than 1,550 hot pot dishes were served at the banquet, and more than 5,000 people were invited to taste it. It became the largest hot pot feast in history.
Ye Feng suddenly smiled and said, "I think you want to eat more, so you asked me to tell you."
After saying that, he gave a piece of hot beef to Ren Xiaojin, and then gave another piece to You Ji. I didn't even eat a piece of it myself.
"I'm telling you, Fatty, if you had half the eyesight and mobility of Lao Ye, you would have been single a long time ago," Jiang Yu joked
"Go, go, don't open the pot and pick up the pot." The fat man said with disdain.
. . .
After they had had enough wine and food, Ren Xiaojin accompanied Fang Jin to the kitchen to clear away the dishes. Jiang Yu asked, "Old Ye, what happened to you at the birthday party?"
Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "This needs to be discussed separately."
"The purpose of the Jiang family's birthday banquet is obvious, because it is a conspiracy, which is to use the return of the immortal world as a bait, so that the latter can guide and advance step by step. This cannot be solved because it is the inevitable benefit of human nature. And the current strength of the Ren family has been from the beginning It is already destined to be replaced at the birthday banquet."
Ren Tianxing, who was listening on the side, his eyelids were twitching, and he said in his heart, Damn, you are now the son-in-law of the Ren family, how can you save some face for your family?
Jiang Yu gave him a comforting look, saying that it would be fine if he got used to it.
