The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1340 Dragon Feast

"Of course, this Hanlin cannot afford a dragon feast worth hundreds of thousands of silver." Fang Yun fanned himself as he walked, looking like a high-spirited scholar or nobleman on the street.

Seeing Fang Yun's behavior, the people present instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Fang Yun is a virtual saint after all!

After all, he is a great man with fourteen war poems handed down from generation to generation, and he may become a world master at any time.

The only people who had a deep friendship with Fang Yun in the past were Li Fanming, Yan Yukong, Hua Yuqing and more than ten others. More than half of the people here did not have a deep friendship with Fang Yun. Those who could enter the Holy Ruins were all geniuses of the same generation, and most of them were from aristocratic families. But now, the people who were on equal footing with Fang Yun were the heads of aristocratic families, and almost all the people present were the grandchildren of the heads of the families, and they could not be compared.

The courtyard is full of young people in their twenties. Their grandfathers would never use Fang Yun to educate them, but use Fang Yun to educate their fathers, so that their fathers can learn from Fang Yun.

These people participated in the Jinshi exam last year, and most of them took the palace exam with Fang Yun.

In the early stage of the palace exam, they didn't feel anything, but from the late stage of the palace exam, the pressure on these people continued to increase. When Fang Yun won the top ten, these people were happy for Fang Yun, but they were also confused.

They were all from the same Saint Ruins, how could the gap be so big? All the Jinshi joined forces, and they couldn't win a top one.

And this confusion reached its peak when competing for the head of the country. Fang Yun alone pushed aside all the top scholars, sat on a twelve-petal lotus platform, and occupied the top of the country.

More than half of the people were uneasy today. They didn't know what kind of mentality to meet Fang Yun, and found that they were still working hard to be promoted to Hanlin, but Fang Yun had already sat in the Hall of the People's Council to debate with a group of great Confucian masters, deciding the authority of a world, which was really mixed.

With a great reputation, there is a sense of dignity.

However, when Fang Yun showed a look of smugness for remembering the old things, the estrangement in their hearts disappeared. This was Fang Yun, the friend of the Holy Ruins, Fang Yun from the Jinshi Hunting Ground, not a false saint, but at most a Fang Wenba.

"Everyone, good winter!" Fang Yun bowed, and everyone returned the greeting, and the Jiaolong Banquet officially began.

Although it was the coldest time of winter, Kongcheng was shrouded by the power of the Holy Temple, and the temperature in the city was equivalent to that of an ordinary autumn day. All the people present were Jinshi, and they did not feel cold eating in the courtyard.

"Come on, come on, I'll leave a seat for you!" Li Fanming pointed to the chair next to him.

Fang Yun smiled and asked, "How is your big rabbit?"

"That traitor missed you very much, but I just didn't bring it!" Li Fanming was very proud and was very happy to compete with the rabbit.

"Yukong, I heard that you want to run away from marriage?" As soon as Fang Yun sat down, he looked at Yan Yukong with a smirk.

Everyone laughed.

"Let's talk about business, not romance!" Yan Yukong was serious, but a blush flashed across his face.

Fang Yun laughed, looked at Hua Yuqing, and said, "It seems that the longevity fruit is good, and I look a lot younger."

"Thanks to Brother Fang." Hua Yuqing said.

Fang Yun said with a serious face, "How can you break the rules? You were also there that day. What should I call you if you lose the bet?"

"Master Fang..." Hua Yuqing said with a smile.

Fang Yun threw away the closed fan and said with a smile, "That's right."

Li Fanming shouted, "You, as a teacher, are the last to arrive. You have to drink three glasses of wine!" He handed Fang Yun the wine.

"Three glasses, then three glasses!" Fang Yun took the wine glass with a smile and drank three glasses in a row.

Han Shoulu smiled and said, "It's not easy to be in the House of Representatives, right? I heard something big happened?"

Fang Yun sighed, tapped the table, and said with grievance, "A bunch of old people bullying young people!"

"I will go home tonight and tell my grandfather that you said he was an old man!" Han Shoulu said.

Fang Yun pointed at Han Shoulu and smiled, "Look, I didn't mention his name, but Shoulu confessed without asking. It can be seen how the head of the Han family thinks of Shoulu. I will tell the head of the Han family about this tomorrow."

Everyone laughed secretly.

Han Shoulu smiled helplessly and said, "This matter cannot be said. I will punish myself with a glass of wine." After saying that, he drank a glass of wine.

"You guys chat, I'll eat first. I heard that Kong's dishes are the best dishes in the world. Since I came to Kong's restaurant, I naturally have to try it." After Fang Yun finished speaking, he looked at the table and found that there were only cold dishes on the table, no hot dishes, but it didn't matter, and started to eat.

"Serve the dishes!" Kong Delun signaled the waiter.

After just a few breaths, a strange aroma came to the face.

Six waiters came in a line, two of them carrying a steaming big casserole. The diameter of each casserole was one foot. The upper layer of the casserole was like a big bowl, and the lower layer had charcoal fire. The outer wall was carved with dragons and phoenixes, which was very delicate.

"It smells good! Could it be dragon liver and phoenix gall?" Fang Yun asked with a smile.

Kong Delun smiled and said, "It's winter, so eat something hot, and add the dragon feast. This first dish is stewed dragon head meat. I wish everyone here to have the dragon head!"

Fang Yun saw dragon meat for the first time. After a closer look, the dragon meat looked little different from ordinary meat, but the broth was milky white and had a strange aroma, which made people very hungry.

"I have always known that there are dragons to eat in Kongcheng. It seems that this dragon is real. Where did it come from?" Fang Yun asked.

"Where else could it be? They must have been hunted from various ancient lands or demon realms. The meat of ordinary dragons is actually fake dragon meat, mostly from demons and beasts with dragon blood. Even the Kong Family Restaurant usually sells fake dragon meat. But what we eat is the real dragon from the Kongsheng Ancient Land, and it is the head meat of the Dragon King Dragon. It has just died for two days and is kept in ice, so it is the freshest. Come, try it. I can't eat it on weekdays."

After Conte moved his chopsticks, Fang Yun took them down, picked up a piece of dragon meat, and took a look at it.

This piece of meat is stewed white, steaming hot, and has a delicate texture, which is indeed different from ordinary meat.

Fang Yun put the meat into his mouth and chewed it gently. The meat was chewy, but after a few bites, it became soft and glutinous. After chewing it again, it turned into thick meat juice, like rice soup rolling into the throat and flowing into the stomach. , the heat spreads throughout the body, like soaking in a hot spring.

"Delicious!" Fang Yun praised.

Everyone looked at each other and ate the meat quickly. Everyone drank a small bowl of soup. The charcoal fire under the casserole was still burning, but there was no dragon meat and only half a pot of dragon soup was left.

Fang Yun finished a bowl of dragon soup and said, "It's such a waste to have any leftover soup. In this winter, it's better to use it for hot pot."

"hot pot?"

Everyone was curious.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "This way of eating has been around since ancient times, but it is not popular. In fact, it is very simple. Put boiling soup in a big pot, or clear soup, spicy soup, beef bone soup, or double soup of mandarin and duck, etc. Everyone sat around and then let go. Add thinly sliced ​​mutton, beef, tripe, fish fillets and various vegetables and ingredients, supplemented with various dipping sauces such as oil dish, sesame sauce, dry dish and so on according to personal taste. It will be served steaming hot and is most suitable for cold weather. "Frozen winter days."

"Yes, I've heard of this way of eating, but it's not common."

Kong Delun became interested and said: "Come here, according to what Fang Xusheng said, use dragon bone soup as the soup, cut the meat into thin slices, mix it with ingredients for dipping, let us try what hot pot is. However, the hot pot is all ready Before that, let’s continue the dragon feast!”
