The next day, when the sun rose three poles, all the disciples gathered, and Li Jingruo also arrived at Zongxue early in the morning to wait.

Most of these disciples looked exhausted, because they indulged in their sensuality yesterday, many of them have not fully recovered from their drunkenness.

Gao Zhanming's servants on standby handed each young master a water bag that had been prepared, which contained his special hangover drink.

Gao Tianwen opened the water sac and saw that the water inside was light yellow. After sniffing it, he said, "It smells weird." He took a sip and found it tasted sour and sweet, and it was quite delicious.He asked Gao Zhanming, "What is this?"

Gao Zhanming said mysteriously: "This thing is called Yuzhen Jinwanlu. It is cooked with the dew collected from the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers at Yinshi every morning in July and August last year and several expensive herbs. "

"Oh?" Li Jingruo raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Yuzhen Jinwanlu, a good name. As expected of Brother Junliang, even the drinking water for hangover is different from others. I am looking forward to the banquet later."

In fact, this thing is just boiled with rock sugar, olives, mint, honey and osmanthus dew. They are all common ingredients and very cheap.It is popular in Wu County to boil water with olives and rock sugar, and the boiled water can soothe the hangover.There are other hangover cures in Beijing, but the hangover drinkers in Beijing are used to it and don't take it to heart.He intentionally added some spices to the water, those disciples couldn't taste what the water was made of, and they heard Gao Zhanming's name was very powerful, so they really regarded it as something rare.

All the disciples drank Gao Zhanming's Yuzhengjin Wanlu, Gao Zhanming had prepared the carriages and horses, invited everyone to get on the carriages, and the carriages drove to the suburbs.

Not long after, a dozen or so carriages drove out of the capital and headed for the suburbs.

Seeing the car leaving the city gate, Li Jingruo asked in surprise, "Brother Jun Liang, where are you taking us? Isn't it a restaurant in Beijing?"

Gao Zhanming said: "You will know when we arrive."

After a while, the carriage stopped in the suburbs.All the children got out of the carriage one after another, only to see the carriage parked outside a manor.This manor was originally the property of the Gao family, but it was later swallowed by Tang Qian. Tang Qian spent several years arranging the environment of the manor very elegantly. Unfortunately, he was busy for a while, and now the manor has returned to Gao Zhanming. inside.

Gao Zhanming led the crowd into the manor, and saw that the pavilions, terraces and pavilions, flowers and famous trees are scattered and unique in the manor, the winding paths are deep and deep, deer and cranes are singing, it is indeed a good and elegant place.

Those hangovers who drank Gao Zhanming's "Yuzhen Jinwanlu" were now much more energetic and no longer sluggish.

Gao Zhanming arranged for everyone to sit down in the manor, and when they were seated, he picked up a glass of wine, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "Our brothers are destined to get together, and we have been able to study in Zongxue for several years because of the blessings of An Guo. Duke An’s blessing. For this cup, I will respect Uncle An Guogong first.” After finishing speaking, he raised his head and finished the glass of wine.

When everyone heard that he moved out of An Guogong, they didn't dare not to buy his face, and they all took up their wine glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Gao Zhanming said again: "When I was young, I was taught by my uncle. My uncle had a way of dealing with people and things. He said, 'To be a man in the world is to be virtuous. The so-called virtue is not to bully others, not to forget grudges, and to be open-minded. This is the right way. "I have always kept my uncle's words in my heart to discipline myself, but it is inevitable that I did not do so well. Brother Zihui, as his uncle's direct son, is also relatively older among our group of Zongxue children. The so-called tiger father has no dog son , Brother Zihui also inherited his uncle's principles of dealing with things and being a man. He took good care of our brothers. Whenever there is a good thing, always remember to share it with our brothers. This glass of wine, I respect Brother Zihui! Thank you brother Zihui for always treating me Take care of me!" After Gao Zhanming finished speaking, he drank the wine he had just poured in his hand.

Li Jingruo almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered his nose with a gesture.He thought: Interesting, this guy is really interesting.

Gao Zhanming's phone call was actually a compliment and a reproach in the dark, causing Gao Huachong's face to turn red and then black, his face stretched, but he couldn't say a word.All the disciples who knew about it also looked at each other in blank dismay, the only ones present with open faces were Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo.However, even if they respected Gao Huachong's wine, everyone dared not refuse to drink it, and poured new wine in embarrassment and drank it again.

Gao Zhanming said another round of polite words, and everyone drank three glasses of wine.But he was afraid that everyone would get drunk, so he prepared rice wine for them that was not easy to get drunk. People drank three cups, but it didn't taste much.

Gao Zhanming said: "After coming all the way, the brothers must be hungry too. The servants have prepared the food and wine, so they will bring them here."

Han Baiyue said: "The banquet is about to start now? It's only two quarters, so it's too early."

Gao Zhanming said with a smile: "It's early, so I only serve some appetizers, let the brothers satisfy their hunger first, and have fun later."

Han Baiyue stopped talking and waited for Gao Zhanming to order the food.

After a while, the maidservants came up with small dishes.However, what surprised everyone was that the dishes in the hands of the maidservants were extremely small, only enough for one person to eat.Sure enough, the maidservant put small plates in front of everyone. Although the dishes were the same, each person had a plate and ate separately.

Li Jingruo said strangely: "Hey, as expected of the Gao family, it's the first time I've seen such a way of eating. The same dish, why not serve it on a big plate, one plate per person, what a big deal."

Gao Zhanming smiled but did not answer.

Han Baiyue frowned, and whispered, "What kind of tricks are you playing!" He looked down at the things on the plate. There were two round and red hawthorns with a flower on the side, which looked quite delicate.He asked Gao Zhanming, "What is this? Hawthorn?"

Gao Zhanming said with a smile: "This dish is called Qiqi Medicinal Diet Red Jade. The cook I hired learned from the royal cook in the palace. Seven nourishing medicinal materials such as ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, red dates, and Codonopsis pilosula are soaked in rock sugar and honey for seven days. Day, after taking out the medicinal materials, put the hawthorn in honey and marinate for seven days, and you will get this dish."

Han Baiyue was dumbfounded when he heard that, and took a hawthorn in doubt and took a bite.The bottom of the hawthorn has been hollowed out, the core has been removed, and the inside is filled with syrup. It tastes sour and sweet. If there is any special taste... I really can't taste it.

In fact, the Qiqi herbal diet and the like are all Gao Zhanming's nonsense, just like that Yuzhen Jinwanlu.This is nothing more than an ordinary hawthorn with honey and rock sugar.

Gao Zhanming used to be a merchant, so he naturally knew how to attract customers.It is nothing more than two key points, one is its own goods, and the other is the gimmicks added to the goods.Sometimes, when doing business to make money, the real value is not the goods, but the gimmick.Let’s just talk about their small place in Wu County. Some people dared to claim that they used to be an imperial cook in the palace and cooked for the emperor. He couldn’t even say the name of the emperor, but the restaurant he opened was still full of customers and made a lot of money. It's full.

Gao Huachong and Han Baiyue prevented Gao Zhanming from buying expensive ingredients, and he couldn't improve his products, so he had to work hard on gimmicks.One is to make things delicate, after all, pitting and pickling hundreds of hawthorns is a big project, and the other is to rely on him to blow nonsense.Because he couldn't invite a team of cooks from outside, Gao Zhanming asked Gao Tianwen's mansion to borrow a group of servants to take care of his mansion's affairs temporarily for the past two days, and asked Liu Da to take all the servants and servants who could cook in his mansion. All were called out to prepare for the banquet.No one else knew how the dishes were made, and Liu Da tried to stop the mouths of those cooks.

A child with a sweet tooth tasted a hawthorn and said happily, "It's so sweet."

A sour-loving kid next to him said in amazement: "Sweet? I think it's so sour!"

The sweet one said: "Sour? How is that possible? Mine is not sour at all, it's so sweet and delicious."

The two didn't believe it, and each took a hawthorn from the other's plate and ate it. The sweet one was winked at by the sour one, and the sour one swallowed the hawthorn out of his mouth: "It's so sweet!"

Both of them were amazed: the same dishes on their plates had different tastes!

The children around couldn't believe it, and they discussed with the people around them one after another, only to find that the things on their plates were indeed different.

Gao Zhanming put a lot of effort in advance to ask the servants to investigate the sour, sweet and spicy tastes of these masters, just to do this.He arranged the seats for everyone, and he asked the servants to put a number on the plate to ensure that there would be no wrong delivery.If Li Jing was a new addition, Gao Zhanming added a position for him, but he didn't know his taste, so he asked the servant to do the same as himself.In fact, it didn't take too much effort to do so except that the dishes were more expensive. For example, for the pickled hawthorn, he just divided it into three jars, one jar of sour, one jar of moderate, and one jar of sweet. Decoration is the taste.However, those dudes didn't know exactly how he did it. Some people thought that he prepared it specially for themselves. This kind of intention is somewhat moving.

After a while, the second course came up, each with a bowl of fragrant thick soup.

When the bowl was served, everyone thought it was shark fin at first glance.Han Baiyue was taken aback, and stirred it with chopsticks, only to find that there was not a single shark fin in the bowl, and it was all thin bean sprouts that were just fake.

Han Baiyue laughed angrily: "Brother Jun Liang, what kind of food is this?"

Gao Zhanming said calmly: "This dish is called 'Tongtian Ruyi'. The shark's fin and pork bones were boiled for two days and two nights on a low fire. The shark's fins and pork bones have melted into the thick soup. Put the wishful vegetables into the thick soup Blanched for a while, it is crisp and refreshing.”

Han Baiyue knew that he was talking nonsense, Gao Zhanming could not get shark fin, but he had no proof, so he could only stare and get angry.

A group of disciples tasted it, and someone said: "It really tastes like shark's fin, but the taste is like Ruyi dish."

Gao Zhanming smiled but said nothing.In fact, those expensive ingredients themselves have no taste, just like shark's fin, if it is boiled in clear water, it will be tasteless.The reason why these ingredients have flavor is because of the condiments.Occasionally, I have the opportunity to eat shark fin in Zongxue. The cook of Zongxue usually cooks it with thick soup. Gao Zhanming ordered the servants to use the same seasoning as the cook, and the pork bone soup made Ruyi There was a meaty smell on the dish, and these disciples mistakenly thought it was the taste of shark's fin itself after tasting the familiar taste.Not only has the aroma of meat, but also has the crisp taste of vegetarian food. Moreover, the saltiness of this dish is the same as that of the previous Qiqi Medicinal Diet Hongyu, which is distributed according to the person, so many disciples are very satisfied.

A few more dishes were quickly served, as before, each person ate in separate plates, namely "Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix", "Full of Gold and Jade", and "Jiujiu Longevity Dragon Brain". These dishes used dozens of old hens, more than a dozen ginseng, cordyceps, lily and velvet antler.

Every time a dish was served, Han Baiyue and Gao Huachong's expressions turned ugly.It's just that they kept silent.

There are five vegetarian dishes in total. After the dishes are served, Han Baiyue said: "The appetizers are all served now?"

Gao Zhanming said: "It's all done."

Han Baiyue rolled her eyes and said, "Since you have used so many precious ingredients, why do you give us some vegetarian food? Why don't you see meat?"

Gao Zhanming smiled and said: "Brother Han doesn't know something. Brother Zihui was the host yesterday, and you brothers enjoyed countless delicacies from mountains and seas. I was also greedy, and my stomach was still uncomfortable until I woke up this morning. If I see those chickens, ducks and fishes again, I will eat them." I’m about to vomit. I also expected this in advance, so when I asked my servants to cook, I told them to choose vegetarian dishes that cleanse the intestines and relieve the stomach, so that the brothers won’t spoil their stomachs after eating.”

Before Han Baiyue could open his mouth, Li Jingruo repeatedly praised: "Brother Junliang is really thoughtful! I also felt very distended in the morning. I didn't want to follow, but I just thought that I have made an appointment with all the brothers. If I don't come, I will be here soon." It is inevitable to stay in the house and worry about it, so I reluctantly came here. I didn't expect that after eating these dishes, I would not feel uncomfortable anymore!"

Han Baiyue was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, and said in a strange way: "Since these are appetizers, what else is there for the main course? Could it be that Brother Jun Liang is going to treat us all to a vegetarian feast today?"

Gao Zhanming smiled and said, "Brother Han, isn't he hungry? What's the hurry? It's still early."

Han Baiyue glared at him viciously and said nothing more.

After a while, Gao Zhanming saw that everyone's alcoholism had started, and they had almost eaten their food, so he got up and said: "Brothers, follow me, I have arranged some fun things for you."
