Chapter 146 Night Banquet Grinding the Knife Ridge
At night, the open space south of the Eighteen Miles Grinding Ridge was full of bonfires.
Each of the 18 villages in Modaoling sent one or two representatives to the banquet. The entourage can also be brought, but the specifications of the reception are far different.
Five or sixty wooden cases are arranged in two rows and are not sorted according to the usual. The beating flames completely eliminate the cold of the winter night. On this side of the night, there is a row of wooden cases. If you have a high status, sit in the middle, and if you are not qualified enough, sit on the side.
Wen Zhong also came out of the carriage for the first time. Looking at his appearance and studying the use of crystal power, he was already crazy. The eyes are sunken, skin and bones, and the whole body is not a little thin. After taking a hot shower and changing into clean clothes, I sat down near the night.
Although it is a winter night, the weather is good and there is no wind and snow.
As soon as it was dark, Xiaotian led forty or fifty people to the gravel square.
Fan Qingping had already greeted you at the entrance of the camp: "You, please come quickly."
"Oh, good to say, good to say." The leader Xiaotian hurriedly responded. Then he turned around and said, "Bregre what we brought."
Fan Qingping was surprised that these village owners were quite simple and even brought gifts. I saw more than a dozen people running behind and coming with a burden.
What do you think they have brought, pickled preserved fish, bacon, dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, walnuts, dates, some golden millet, and some rare wild vegetables in winter.
Fan Qingping quickly called the soldiers and took the things down. Then lead the way in front and lead these masters to their seats. As for those who accompanied, they are also assigned to another place to eat.
He got up at night and bowed his hand to the eighteen heads and said, "It's a great honor for you to go to the banquet. It's a great honor for Wu. Please take a seat."
The village owners on the opposite side responded in a mess and sat down according to their position.
"Wu came here for the first time, and I don't dislike it, so it's convenient for me to decide whereabouts today. My stockade is called Fengyunzhai. What were the rules in the mountains in the past? After the night finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged.
"Good to say, good to say." Most of the village owners on the opposite side agreed.
But they were quite surprised. The new owner said that he would invite everyone to dinner, but he didn't even see a bowl of water. However, he was deterred by the force shown during the night and day, but he did not dare to ask directly.
Suddenly, a melodious bell came from one side, which was played by Liu Bang. Xiao Ruxuan turned to a set of small clocks in the items given by the mighty marquis. Liu Bang, who looked around for a performer and had been a gangster, volunteered.
The sound of the bell is magnificent, dignified and elegant, and smells relaxed and happy. My family listened quite cheerfully, not to mention the local buns on the opposite side who had never seen the world.
Where the music sounded, twelve night pearls suddenly rose. Cover the whole venue in a soft white light.
Xiao Ruxuan led the team and led nine maids. With a wooden plate, he walked to the field. The owners on the opposite side looked straight. Where have they seen such beautiful women? They have poor determination and drool.
Xiao Ruxuan went to the front of the banquet and wrapped the red cloth on the wooden plate and sent it to the owners. After each village owner received it, he slowly left the stage.
"A little gift, no respect!" The night sounded, signaling them to open and check.
The owner of the village with the lowest status is called Er Danzi, who is a dwarf. First of all, he couldn't help but open the red cloth package. At a glance, he immediately took a deep breath.
There are four items in the package, a piece of gold, a piece of jade, a gem, and a bottle of elixir.
Fan Qingping got up and smiled at the village owners and said, "Guys, don't just look at the jade beads and gold. That bottle of elixir is a real good thing. A bottle of ten pills, only one grain, can promote ordinary people to elite good hands.
The owners on the opposite side were stunned when they heard it. It seems that the new owner is a rich man. They quickly thought in their hearts that it was closer and could be divided into one grain. You have to save some for your brother and sister, or relatives.
I only heard the rhythm of the bell turn, and a waiter shouted, "Serve wine!" The chef immediately served a jar of newly brewed fruit wine.
As soon as the jar was opened, a strange fragrance floated up, which permeated into the heart and spleen, and smelled like intoxicated.
"This wine is called the birthday of the white fruit dragon. It is brewed with fresh summer fruits in a secret method, and then added to the birthday of the dragon. The effect is extraordinary. It can not only supplement qi and blood, but also treat some hidden diseases? After saying that, Fan Qingping smiled at the owner of the village opposite.
"Please!" Hei Ye raised the bowl with his hands, raised his neck, endured the nausea of swallowing vegetables and drooling, and did it first. "He was drunk, but the night was surprised first.
Everyone drank together, and only felt that the fruit wine was delicious.
The abdomen is like a fire rising, and the heat is steaming, expelling the virtual cold clean. Suddenly, it is like summer ice and snow, from hot to cold. The pores all over the body, singing together, all comfortable.
"I'm going to die," a discordant tone suddenly came out, and everyone followed the voice. The mad tiger was full of tears in his eyes, and it was so crazy that he couldn't suppress himself: "I tasted this wine today, as if I was in nine days. It's a pity that I used to think I've tasted all kinds of wine, but today I know that those drinks are simply dross. Well, it should not even be as good as poison. If you can't drink this kind of wine in the future, how can you live this life?
Everyone was shocked at first, and then laughed after hearing the words.
This crazy tiger is really addicted to alcohol.
Under the wine, the atmosphere suddenly became warm. Three bowls were served at night, and then the chef was ordered to serve.
Wild boars, flower deer, yellow sheep, mountain pheasant, and fat fish are all wild animals just caught this afternoon. There are many kinds of barbecue, steaming, and stir-frying.
Everyone's appetite was great, and they raised their chopsticks.
The night wanted to discuss something in the future in front of the owners of the eighteen villages today. But when I saw the people on the opposite side eating randomly in the sea, I didn't have the mind. Looking at my family again, these days are also suffering, and it is also a fierce sacrifice to the Five viscera Temple.
It's rare to be so relaxed, so let everyone relax.
With the help of the wine, everyone began to brag. The meat and vegetarian jokes take turns to play. I can only hear the laughter in the air, and the cup is endless.
"Zilong," the dark night whispered Zhao Yibiao, "It's rare to relax. Today, except for the soldiers on duty, you can drink a bowl. In addition, let Xiuhui cook and add some fresh meat, and you can send someone to arrange it.
"The Lord has a heart!" Zhao Yibiao said excitedly and quickly called his own soldiers to order the arrangement of the night.
The atmosphere was warm, and Xiao Ruxuan sent the maid up again to dance for fun.
"Wu Dangjia, if you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me." A village owner suddenly stood up and patted himself on the chest.
"This brother is polite," the night responded quickly.
