In a short time, the dishes were ready, and the snacks, pastries and delicacies were quickly put on the table.
Bubble looked at the soup served and asked, "What kind of soup is this?" So beautiful!"
Everyone's attention was also attracted by her question.
The soup is clear and transparent, and a lotus flower blooms in the middle of the soup, like floating on the surface of the water.
The shopkeeper glanced at Nangong Bingyu and saw her nodded before explaining with a smile: "This soup is called Weiyu Baihe. It is made of freshly picked lotus, which is made of chicken soup that has been boiled for three days and nights and simmered slowly."
Seeing the beautiful and moist soup in the bowl, Bubble and Honglian couldn't help taking a sip. The two shouted together, "It's delicious!"
Seeing their exaggerated expressions and shouts, Su Qi shook her head funnyly. This soup did look good, but as an appetizer, the taste should be light and flavorful. Bubbles have always preferred dishes with strong flavors, and she shouted nonsense!
After taking a sip of soup, Qiu Yang was stunned. Not only him, but also the rest of the others on the table were surprised. They all had eaten countless delicious dishes. Everyone knew that the order of serving was first light, then rich, then rich, to **, and finally the dessert, step by step, so that they would not grab the following dishes. The taste of the dishes, but the soup at the beginning, tastes fresh and rich, sweet and mellow in the mouth, completely seizing the whole feeling of the taste buds. Let alone how the rich soup can be so clear, that is, how the following dishes should be served is a big test.
As soon as I finished the soup, a white jade box like snow came up. Honglian asked curiously, "What is this white jade box? Is it strange?"
"This is osmanthus chicken, which combines begly chicken and salt-baked chicken. The outermost white jade box is wrapped in a container with sea coarse salt, the inner layer is mixed with fine mud, and the inner layer is fresh lotus leaves and lotus petals wrapped in the chicken body. To prevent the smell of chicken from drifting away. As he spoke, the shopkeeper opened the box outside, and the fragrance of lotus leaves was accompanied by the mellow aroma of roast chicken, which made people's appetite. Opening the lotus leaf, the lotus petals spread on the chicken are still elegant and ruddy, but the roast chicken is already golden and crispy.
This chicken completely absorbs the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the mellowness of lotus petals. The meat is crispy and not greasy. In the process of eating, there is actually a faint and tasteless osmanthus fragrance in the chicken.
Bubble shouted that he had never eaten such a delicious chicken, while asking the shopkeeper to have another one. Honglian was also very happy to eat. She nodded and agreed.
After Su Qi tasted this osmanthus chicken, he has to say that the banquet is ingenious. Every dish is **, and every dish brings a new feeling to his taste buds.
He would like to see how many surprises Nangong Bingyu can bring.
After eating, the shopkeeper served the last dish and successfully attracted the attention of bubbles and red lotus again. It was a bowl of cake-like snacks, moist and transparent, and the petals of peony were frozen in it: "Is this?"
"This is a dessert called Bing Qin Qianxin. It is made of glue made from pig skin and steamed peony petals.
Sweet and warm, sweet but not greasy, making people feel refreshed after eating.
Finally, he was full, and the recovered bubble stood by the window, looked at the pool and Jiaohe, and shouted, "Well, how can there be anyone on the lake?" Hearing her excited cry, everyone also looked over.
In the swaying lotus leaves, dozens of pink-dressed young girls either played or danced on the lotus lake full of lotus flowers. Clothes are flying, like elves in the water, fairies in flowers, playing on the water and recklessly among the flowers.
Honglian also said curiously, "Yes! Are they still dancing?
Paopao walked to Nangong Bingyu, pulled her sleeves and asked, "Xiao Yuer, how did they do it?! Although we have many masters in Qingfeng Tower, it would be very difficult if we could dance in the lake!"
Nangong Bingyu picked up the tea on the short table, glanced at the lake, and said with a smile, "Pile under the pool, and then lay bamboo slices on the water. From a distance, it seems to be dancing on the water surface of the lotus."
"It's so simple, but it looks really beautiful." Bubble suddenly realized, and when she looked at the lake, she thought that there were people in the world who could dance on the water!
Su Qilang laughed and said, "Today's meal is really different. No wonder this drunken world is famous all over the country." This drunken world is unusual, and the Nangong ice jade is even more hidden. Miss Qianjin is gentle and elegant; her talent is compelling, but she is restrained and implicit.
She should be the biggest opponent in the market among the four countries.
Many people have gathered by Lianxin Lake. The annual lotus picking conference is about to begin. Paopao couldn't sit still at a glance. He quickly pulled Su Qi and shouted, "The lotus picking meeting is about to begin. Let's go. It's late and there is no fun to watch."
Putting down and drinking only half of the tea, Nangong Bingyu got up helplessly. As soon as the girl was full, she couldn't be idle. To Honglian and his party, he smiled and invited them, "Let's go to see this Hundred Flowers Festival with us!"
"Good!"
Honglian has been unable to stand it for a long time. She likes this master the most. Although she has been together for a short time, the master is kind, gentle, free and free and comfortable. The whole person seems to be always shrouded in the lazy sunshine.
Everyone excitedly followed Nangong Bingyu and left them behind Honglian. Su Qi and Qiu Yang met and smiled bitterly. Who was her family?
~~~~~~~~~###~~~~~~~~~
The lotus picking party is the most important ceremony in the Hundred Flowers Festival, and it is also a grand event that attracts many men and women.
It is said that thousands of years ago, a fairy came to earth to fall in love with a man and became husband and wife.
The two really love each other and have a deep friendship. Unfortunately, the good times are not long. The heavenly court found that the fairy fell in love with the mortal world, which is against the rules of heaven. So he brought the fairy back to the heavenly court and was claustrophobic for 500 years. The man and the fairy were forced to separate, heartbroken, spit blood, and soon died of depression. When he went down to the underworld, the man refused to drink Meng Po soup and wanted to remember his love with the fairy forever. Since then, the man has been reincarnated five times and finally can't forget the fairy. He has never married a wife in every life.
Finally, his deep feelings moved heaven, and the Bodhisattva instructed him that as long as he found a green lotus under the Buddha's throne, he could meet the fairy. The man searched all over the world and spent ten years finding it in this lotus heart lake. The man and the fairy have been separated for 500 years and can finally be together again.
This lotus heart lake is also famous for this, and the Hundred Flowers Festival also comes from this.
Every year, unmarried men and women can come to the lotus picking conference. When men and women enter the venue, they can draw numbers. Men are red wooden cards and women are green wooden cards. The numbers on the two wooden cards are the same, so that the two can take a boat into the lake to find lotus.
If you find Qinglian, it means that the two are destined to be a fateful relationship. Whether the two families are in line or not, the parents of both sides must not object, so many men and women who love each other are competing to be the matchmaker.
When Nangong Bingyu and others came to the lake, they were already crowded. Many of them came to see the fun, and some of them really wanted to look for lotus. At the entrance, there are two large boxes, one red and one green, from which both unmarried men and women can draw marriage numbers. Do as the Romans do, and all unmarried people have drawn numbers.
Entering the infield, the court master of ceremonies is already shouting: "Guys, the lotus picking meeting is about to begin. Ladies and gentlemen can check the number plates in their hands, and you can enter the pool to find lotus in pairs."
For a while, it was even more lively. The princes of various families sent their minions to visit the beautiful women. The girls who came out also reminded the maids to be careful.
Since he came in, Paopao has been pouting, staring at Nangong Bingyu with wide eyes, directly losing his temper, and roaring, "Xiao Yuer, why can only unmarried people go to find lotus! I'm going to play too!"
Nangong Bingyu looked at the bubble hanging on her arm with a smile: "Of course you can go, but you should know that if a man draws the same number card as you, you will go with his lonely men and women to find lotus? If you are not careful and find it, this is the matchmaker of heaven, and he will marry you!?
"Who dares!"
Before the bubble could reply, an angry male voice sounded, and she was quickly taken into her arms by a pair of powerful arms.
Seeing Su Qi's slightly narrowing eyes and looking at her dangerously, Pao immediately put his arms around his neck and smiled hypocritically and coquettishly, "I'm just asking casually. If you want to pick it, it's also with you!" We are a natural couple, a match made in heaven, hehe!
Under the hard comfort of bubbles, Su Qi's face slowly turned cloudy and clear. Seeing that his face improved, Paopao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't go by herself, but Xiao Yuyu was okay. She broke away from Su Qi's arms, pulled Nangong Bingyu's sleeve, and shook and asked, "Xiao Yuyu, what number are you?"
What number is she? When she entered the door, she just took one casually and gave it to Honglian. She didn't look carefully.
Honglian took out the number plate in her hand and said softly, "No. 14."
Bubble looked left and right: "So many people, who is No. 14?"
Nangong Bingyu looked at the bubbles stretching her neck like a little turtle and patted her on the head amusedly.
This Qinglian legend was picked up by a man and a woman 30 years ago. There is no way to determine whether it is true or not. If the two really belong to each other and don't need any media to witness, they can stay together until they are old. On the contrary, it is useless to pick more green lotus.
"Are you looking for this?"
Jing Chen shook the wooden card in his hand, which said "No. 14".
"Ah! It's you!" Paopao picked up two wooden cards and took a closer look. It was really a pair. He happily stuffed the wooden cards back into their hands and pulled Nangong Bingyu to the lake.
Nangong Bingyu looked at the wooden card in her hand and looked at Jing Chen's. He stroked his forehead and complained. God, it's really a couple. How could there be such a coincidence?
"Let's go!" Jing Chen has also come to the lake, holding Nangong Bingyu's arm and getting on the boat.
"You must get Qinglian!" The bubbles on the shore were excited and jumping, as if she was the one who wanted to pick lotus.

In order to celebrate the breakthrough of 400 in the collection, the girl decided to add a chapter in the evening.
