Chapter 163 Up!
"Guo Guo Guo...Er Guo Guo Guo, you...don't shake the duck! You'll make Wo Tou... feel dizzy..."
Young Master Xiaobai whirled around in circles with a milky voice. Young Master Jiu hugged Xiaobai helplessly to prevent him from falling. Young Master Xiaobai was not polite and fell into his brother's arms, grabbing the collar of his clothes. Hehehe giggled, smacking his leaky front teeth when he smiled.
Qi Lu rubbed his forehead, and Ji Lin said strangely: "Wine-hearted pears? How come I can't taste the slightest bit of wine?"
Qi Lu said: "This was prepared by Lu himself for General Lian Jin."
Gongsun Wuwu said before that Lian Jin likes delicious food, especially sweet ones. Moreover, Lian Jin has always been cautious when he came to the Huben Army and would not drink alcohol. It would be even more difficult to stumble Lian Jin.
So Qi Lu thought about it. He likes to eat sweet food and doesn't drink alcohol. Isn't this the easiest thing to do?
In this era, it is not common for wine to be included in food. Although there are a lot of wine liquors in these days, the liquors also appear in different colors. For the sake of appearance, there are also alcoholic drinks similar to "cocktails", which are provided in the dining room for the nobles. The wine list is dazzlingly complex and comes in all colors.
However, wine pulp is still rarely used in dishes, let alone sweet dishes.
Qi Lu thought about this and immediately thought of wine-filled chocolate. Of course, there is no such thing as chocolate now, so Qi Lu made other wine-filled desserts.
For example, wine-centered pears. Qi Lu brews the best pears with sweet wine, allowing the aroma of the wine to be fully integrated into the pears. With the addition of seasoning, the sweetness of the pears overwhelms the aroma of the wine, leaving only the aroma, which is delicious. In the mouth, there is no spicy taste at all. Instead, it feels sweet and long, with endless aftertaste.
Young Master Xiaobai took a bite of the pear and didn't taste the wine at all. He ate it with gusto and didn't notice it at all.
Ji Lin suddenly realized it and said: "That's it."
Qi Lu smiled, his eyes full of calculations, and said: "Not only the wine-filled pears, Lu also prepared a wine-filled fruit tart for General Lian Jin."
The emperor had eaten fruit tarts before, which were actually fruit pies. At that time, the daughter of the Qi State had a poor appetite, so Qi Lu made many fruit pies for the women of the Qi State. Although the emperor did not like fruits very much, the emperor liked this fruit pie very much. It tasted fresh and delicious. Delicious, sweet and not cloying at all.
Qi Lu improved the fruit pie, adding a wine core to it. The fruit was sweet, the pie crust was crispy, and it was wrapped in strong liquor. However, the taste of the wine was also obscured by the sweetness of the fruit, so you couldn't taste it at all. , I just feel that this fruit pie is more mellow than ordinary fruits.
In addition to Jiuxin pear and Jiuxin fruit pie, Qi Lu also prepared a drink, which was the emperor's "old acquaintance" green plum milk.
I remember that when the relationship between the emperor and Qi Lu was still unclear, something went wrong, and that was the craftsman Zuo Si sent by Zheng Bohuansheng. Suo Si stole Qi Lu's craftsmanship and advanced the green plum milk that Qi Lu was supposed to make. It was made and dedicated to the emperor.
The only drink Qi Lu makes today is this green plum milk.
Ji Lin was a little stiff when he heard him mention green plums and milk, fearing that Qi Lu was still "holding grudges". In fact, the emperor had completely overthought it, and Qi Lu did not think of those things.
Qi Lu wants to make green plum wine with milk. The reason is actually very simple. Yan Yin must have wine. According to Lian Jin’s cautiousness, he will never drink alcohol, so Lian Jin must drink it without anyone noticing. This green plum wine Milk is the most suitable.
The taste of plum wine is very pure, and it is very sweet. It is mixed with milk, and the wine milk blends, making it extremely sweet. The key is that the plum wine does not have a strong alcohol taste, but the alcohol content is not small, and it is definitely overpowering.
Qi Lu smiled and said: "Lian Jin is very cautious. The more cautious he is, the less likely he is to think that these fruits and wine will be added to the brewed milk. Why don't you just obediently get into the sleeve?"
The emperor invited General Lian Jin to a banquet, and Lian Jin had no reason to refuse. However, he had already made preparations and was determined that Yan Yin would not touch a drop of wine this time, so that the emperor would not have a chance to take advantage of him.
Lian Jin led the envoys into the shogunate's tent. A banquet had been set up in the tent. Lian Jin saw the drinks on the table at a glance. He smiled coldly without any trace and said in his heart, the emperor's son is nothing more than this. He must be You are too young, and you want to get me drunk with wine? I have been licking blood from my knife for so many years, but I haven't seen any big storms? How can I still drink your wine?
Although Lian Jin was sneering in his heart, he was very respectful on the outside. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the Emperor."
Ji Lin looked friendly and said, "General Lian Jin has come all the way. I have specially prepared a welcome banquet today, and I would like to invite General Lian Jin to have a drink with him."
There was another sneer of disdain on the corner of Lian Jin's lips, as if he had "seen through" the emperor's trick a long time ago, and said: "Please forgive me, the emperor, for your shameless general, but... we are marching outside, and the prince has repeatedly told me not to drink." I made a mistake and protected the emperor and all Luo Shiqing officials. I have a heavy responsibility, so how can I live up to the prince's instructions?"
The emperor had long known that he would say this, and he showed just the right amount of embarrassment on his face, as if he had revealed his ruse, and then there was a hint of displeasure on his face.
Qi Lu saw this and clicked his tongue twice in his heart, thinking that the little puppy is getting better and better at pretending. This expression and these little movements are just perfect. Even after looking at it, I am afraid he will be complacent. I don't know who can The last laugh.
The banquet started soon, and there was a dazzling array of wine and meat on the table. Lian Jin thought he had seen through the emperor's trick, so he didn't drink any wine at all, and rarely even ate meat, for fear of falling into a trap, he kept sitting upright and glanced at , and saw the only drink on the table that was not liquor.
Is it milk?
People in the Spring and Autumn Period rarely drank milk, because drinking milk was only done by barbarians. The nobles of the Central Plains hardly drank milk. Although Lian Jin was from Dongyi, it was the first time he saw milk put on the table. .
Lian Jin was disdainful at first, but there was nothing edible at the banquet. He was a little thirsty, so he specially selected this milk, picked it up and took a sip.
The entrance is silky, smooth and smooth. I wish I could go straight into my throat. A wave of sweetness comes up, with a little taste of green plums, and an indescribable mellowness. It is smoother than wine!
Lian Jin's eyes widened a little, and he glanced at the drink in his hand, and immediately asked someone to fill it up, and drank another cup. He already likes sweets, and he found out this from Gongsun Wuzhi, this green plum wine. The milk perfectly suits Lian Jin's taste.
After drinking a cup of green plum stuffed with milk, Lian Jin's appetite was instantly stimulated. He carefully looked at the table and immediately fell in love with the wine-filled pears and wine-filled fruit tarts. These two delicacies exuded a subtle sweetness. Tantalizing Lian Jin's taste buds.
"This..." The Qi envoy sitting next to Lian Jin also took a bite of the fruit tart and said in shock: "This... what kind of method is this? It is so refreshing and sweet. Could it be that their Luoshi's fruit is different? "
Qi Lu wanted to laugh after hearing this, but he thought it was not that our Luoshi's fruit was different, it was that the fruit was filled with wine. Don't worry, the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes, and you will even feel addicted!
The envoys of Qi State had never seen the "worldly world", so they ate a lot of wine-filled fruit tarts and wine-filled pears in one go, and drank a lot of green plum milk.
Ji Lin whispered in Qi Lu's ear: "This Lian Jin has a pretty good drinking capacity."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lian Jin say: "Hey...hiss - why do I feel a little...head..."
Dizziness……
Before Lian Jin finished speaking, there was a "Boom!", his head tilted, and he lay directly on the table, with his whole face stuck on the fruit tower...
Lian Jin was dazed and felt a slight chill on his body. Although it was winter now, it had started to get warmer. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this cold.
Lian Jin shivered coldly, and opened his eyes in confusion. He still felt a little top-heavy. If he moved a little, his whole body was still in a state of confusion, and the world was spinning.
Lian Jin looked confused, closed his eyes hard, and then opened them. The first thing he saw was the hem of his clothes, and it was still upside down.
Lian Jin reacted for a long time, his head was numb, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he seemed to react instantly, shaking vigorously, and making a sound of "Uh-huh" from his mouth.
If nothing else, Lian Jin found that he was indeed top-heavy, because he was now hanging head down and feet up.
Lian Jin was still in the shogunate, and Yan Yin did not move away, but he was hung upside down in the middle of the shogunate's tent, with his clothes stripped off. No wonder he was cold. How could he not be cold without clothes?
And standing in front of Lian Jin, isn't it Taifu Qiluqi?
Qi Lu looked at Lian Jin with a smile, looked him up and down, and said, "General Lian, are you awake? How are you? Are you drunk? Tsk tsk, you're the one above."
"Wine? Wine..." Lian Jin struggled hard twice, but it was like swinging on a swing, still swinging on his head and feet, and said: "No, it's impossible, I didn't drink!"
Qi Lu picked up the feather cup on the desk. The milky white drink inside made waves, setting off the exquisite feathers and sparkling under the halo.
Qi Lu smiled and said, "Don't even the general know? This plum milk contains green plum wine."
"Qing, green plum wine?!" Lian Jin was dumbfounded.
Qi Lu added: "This pear is brewed with the strongest wine, and this fruit tower is filled with wine. How about it? Is it still delicious?"
"You... you... you guys!!" Although Lian Jin was a reckless man and easily taken the bait, he was not stupid. He quickly understood that this was all a trap, and his face turned red with anger.
At this moment, I heard loud laughter like "hahahaha", it turned out to be Gongsun Wuwu!
Lian Jin didn't expect that Gongsun Wuzhi was also present. He was pointing at himself and laughing, saying: "General Lian, why do you still have a belly? This is not acceptable for leading troops in war!"
"You..." Lian Jin was trembling and before he could curse, Gongsun Wuwu said ruthlessly: "Why did Zhuer send someone like you out as an envoy? Isn't there anyone who can use him? A dignified general, he was so casually
If someone is tied up, will you be embarrassed?"
Lian Jin said angrily: "What on earth are you going to do?!"
Qi Lu blew the non-existent dust on his fingers, clapped his palms, and said: "Nothing, actually... I just fell in love with General Lian's soldiers and horses. You soldiers are all young and brave.
, is strong and strong, and he rushed to deliver it to his door. If Lu doesn't accept it, I'll be sorry for General Lian's hard work, of course... take it all!"
