This concubine can eat too!

Chapter 30

Today's Shenshi is suitable for offering sacrifices and praying for blessings. The important thing is that today is especially suitable for opening.

On the most prosperous street in Guizhou City, common people gradually gathered in front of the gate of Gu Yuexuan in the north. Roasted pig, a big fat chicken and some fruits. Of course, incense burners, some incense candles, tea and wine utensils are indispensable for worship.

It was the most suitable time in the second half of Shen Shi. Gu Yuexuan's boss, Gu Pengfei, and his wife Zhao Qingyue came out of the store, and the maids and servants who followed him immediately delivered the burnt incense to Gu Pengfei. .

Gu Pengfei visited heaven and earth according to the invited sorcerer and put three big incense sticks into the censer, followed by his wife on the small incense sticks, followed by their parents, relatives and friends, all of which were burnt , Two store waiters lighted the big firecrackers on both sides. In the deafening noise, the warlock shouted that the business is booming and the money is rolling in.

Ready to open, Gu Yuexuan announced the official start. Gu Pengfei ordered people to cut two roasted pigs into small pieces and distribute them to the people present, and some candy for those with children.

It is said that it is opening, but today Gu Yuexuan does not recruit ordinary people, the only ones who can enter Gu Yuexuan are some dignitaries holding invitations.

Gu Yuexuan was already full of rich businessmen and officials from Guizhou. Gu Pengfei even invited the patrol captain from the city, and gave him a money bag to distribute to his brothers, so that They take more care of Gu Yuexuan on weekdays, to avoid some land/heads/snakes coming to collect insurance/protection/fee or cause trouble.

It was almost time to leave the banquet, and after counting by the servants, there was still one distinguished guest missing.

Guan Pu and Gu Pengfei stood waiting outside the door. Guan Pu was a little worried, and asked cautiously: "Master, do you think... is Marquis Ren not coming for a while? It's already this hour, and there are still many officials inside. It's not good to offend anyone, otherwise, let's have a banquet first?"

"How can it be like this! The time has not come yet, let's talk when the time comes." Gu Pengfei has sent someone to inquire about the preferences of this Marquis. Apart from his famous and devoted wife, his biggest hobby is eating. Surprising, I don't know if the rumors are true or not, but he still asked the kitchen to prepare more high-quality white rice and a suckling pig for Lord Hou's table, and cook more Gu Yuexuan's signature dishes.

Just when the time was about to pass, a low-key but luxurious carriage that can be seen in the details slowly drove to the front of Gu Yuexuan and stopped, and the two slave girls who followed quickly put down the small ladder and came out first The person Gu Pengfei investigated "his" preferences clearly was Ren Hou Gu Changyan.

Gu Changyan is wearing a dark blue / straight / straight / robe today, with a silver hair crown on her head. She looks energetic and imposing. After getting off the carriage, she immediately turned around and snatched Dier's hair. hand, and clicked Die'er, muttering in a low voice, "From now on, this Marquis will help the princess, do you understand?"

She also hummed her stingyly, Die'er couldn't help but laugh, only nodded and took a step back to give up Princess Fu's position.

"What kind of rivalry with Die'er, it's demeaning." Song Ruolan bent down and put her palm in Gu Changyan's palm, and while getting off the carriage, she taught Die'er a troublesome son-in-law.

Since this morning, she has been urging and urging, until she got a headache. When they were opening, she urged them to leave at breakfast time. How much does the big eater want to eat this opening banquet?

Isn't Uncle Jiang's cooking delicious, or is it true that the food next door is always more fragrant and delicious than the one in your own bowl?

"I don't have an identity, the identity belongs to the princess~" Gu Changyan opened his mouth and coaxed Song Ruolan, who made Song Ruolan annoyed with her, and pinched her with the held hand, telling her to be more stable outside.

After the two got off their horses, they walked towards Gu Yuexuan. Gu Pengfei at the door greeted them with a smile: Piper shines."

"Benhou is a princess who said she didn't come out much after she got married. It coincided with the opening of Gu Yuexuan, so she and the princess came to join in the fun." She looked at Xiaofeng on the other side, and Xiaofeng opened a brocade box and sent it to him. , inside is a pair of very beautiful Pixiu, Gu Changyan went on to say: "This is the business of Princess He Gu, please be careful."

"Thank you, Princess and Lord Hou, you are very kind." Gu Pengfei took the brocade box and led them in personally. Inside, many people were quite surprised when they saw Gu Changyan and Song Ruolan who rarely showed up. And hurriedly bowed to them.

They were thinking in their hearts, what did Gu Pengfei have to do with them, and they could invite these two people who seldom go out.

After pinching Song Ruolan secretly, Gu Changyan cleared his throat and said, "You don't need to be too polite, the Marquis and Princess are just here to celebrate the opening of Guban's new store, to join in the fun and try some new dishes, so you don't have to be restrained."

In the Hou Mansion, everyone knows that the princess is the "master" and the Lord Hou is just an idler. Song Ruolan is not shy in taking control of the mansion in her own hands. She knows that the mansion is basically shadow guards and only listens. Her order, and secondly, after she took over the big and small affairs of the mansion, she discovered that the big eating monster basically governed the mansion in a laissez-faire manner. If she hadn't had Xiao Qi to manage it for more than a year since she pretended to be Ren Moxian, the Hou's mansion might be a mess chaos.

Now that people are outside, no matter what, they have to temporarily return their status as the "Master" of the Hou Mansion to the big eaters, and she can just be the wife of the master.

Under the attention of everyone, Gu Changyan and the others were led by Gu Pengfei to the box with the best view on the second floor. The window in the box was opened, so that they could wait for the sideshow arranged by Gu Pengfei.

When the person to wait came, Gu Pengfei asked the servant to call the kitchen to serve the food immediately, so that other people would not wait too long.

The first dish was tender roasted crispy rú pig. Except for Gu Changyan who directly served a whole one, most of the rest of the banquet was mainly for five or six people, so the rú pig had been cut into small pieces and placed on a plate. Beautifully delivered, Song Ruolan in the private room saw that they were served on ordinary-sized plates, while theirs was delivered whole in the private room, her forehead twitched, knowing that the old boss had done some research on her family's big eating monsters ...

Gu Changyan, who has only food in his eyes, sees this tender rú pig, and misses the flower-scented rú pig of Drunk Dream Square, but unfortunately he can't go anymore...

In order to make up for the regret in his heart, Gu Changyan picked up the little pig's leg and gnawed it in his hand as soon as he arrived with his chopsticks. Although it was not as special as the Huaxiang pork from Zuimengfang, this one was also delicious, and the pig's skin was burnt fragrant It was crispy, and the meat inside was tender and juicy. Her mouth was full of oil.

Song Ruolan only took a piece and tasted it, and it tasted very good. After tasting it, she glanced at the people around her, and she had a headache again. Wordlessly, she reminded a few words, "Ahem, son-in-law, eat slowly and pay attention to your image."

"Yeah... this little pig is delicious, the princess eats an extra piece, don't worry about getting fat, we can walk back instead of taking the carriage later." It is necessary to please the lady, she wiped it with the handkerchief Xiaofeng handed over Opening his mouth, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up another piece of crispy and thin pork skin for Song Ruolan.

Halfway through eating the rú pigs, someone knocked on the door of the box again. The two waiters brought two dishes, and the other brought a large bucket of high-quality white rice. According to the old board's instructions, they said with a polite smile: "Please, Lord Hou Take it easy, princess, Master Hou, the old boss said, if there is not enough, tell the villain, and the villain will go to the kitchen to serve you food immediately."

"It's okay for the time being, let me tell Gu Bo for Benhou, this pig is delicious, I will come here often in the future~" Gu Changyan smiled and rolled his eyes, his belly was satisfied, everything was beautiful.

Song Ruolan glanced at Die'er, she had been with her master for so long, Die'er understood very well, and immediately brought out two small cloth bags to the two shop waiters. There were some copper coins in the cloth bags, which the princess asked her to prepare yesterday as a reward There are already a lot of words, the waiter in the shop didn't open it, but he guessed one or two from the weight, and immediately bent down to thank them.

All the dishes for the banquet were served, and there was some commotion from below, Gu Changyan lazily cared about what was going on below, and just buried himself in eating a table of delicacies, but Song Ruolan, who had eaten enough, naturally came out of the window because of some yelling below. Looking at it, she was drinking a pot of top-quality Pu'er sent by the ancient boss, and the level was really comparable to that of the imperial palace.

After eating delicious food and being able to taste the tea with the grade of the imperial palace, I feel as happy as Gu Changyan, so I am a little curious about what kind of performance will be waiting on the small table below.

Soon two big men moved a small table, and then a maid brought a Yaoqin and put it on it. After the things were arranged, a woman in a clear green dress sat in front of the Yaoqin. Tried to play a few syllables with both hands, which made everyone quiet under the original noise.

After a few syllables, there was a pause, and Song Ruolan saw the woman's light-white ten fingers rhythmically plucking and dancing lightly on the seven strings. Song Ruolan also learned a thing or two from a luthier in the palace, and she knew what the woman was playing when she heard it. The famous song "Chunyang Baixue", the artistic conception of this song is that winter is going to spring, the earth is recovering, everything is thriving, and it is a beautiful scene with vitality. It is indeed quite interesting to play it on the opening day.

At the end of the song, there was a cloud of applause. The woman in the green skirt got up and stepped forward to salute them. Song Ruolan could see the woman's face clearly at this moment. It is as clear and bright as the sound of her piano, and her temperament is as soft as a full moon. For a woman who makes a living as a performer, she is really pure and refined.

After giving the salute, the woman said some congratulations on the opening of the old man, and then presented a famous song "Jiukuang". , which is also very suitable for playing today.

The drunken madness ended in a joyous melody, and the woman in the bi skirt also took two steps forward to salute the guests present. She also did not forget the second floor, and smiled at Song Ruolan squarely, putting her hands on her waist and bowing to salute.

Song Ruolan also nodded and smiled back at her, and her eyes turned from her back to Gu Changyan beside her. She was still eating the white rice while gnawing on the pine nut fish, and pouring all the sweet and sour sauce on the rice ...

Tsk... This guy is good at everything, but his shortcomings are too much to eat.

"Look at you, I said pay attention to your image, your face is covered with rice and juice." While she was disgusted, she took out a silk handkerchief to wipe it for her. Gu Changyan narrowed her eyes and raised her face to enjoy the tenderness that the lady gave her. Considerate, wishing to lean forward and kiss her.

Wiping her mouth halfway, there was another noise from below. This time Song Ruolan didn't have the heart to explore what kind of performance was going on, and was all focused on wiping Gu Changyan's face.

But the quarrel became more and more strange and discordant, she frowned, Xiao Qi, who was always watching his master's face, walked to the window immediately, looked at it and then turned back and told, "Princess, there seems to be someone downstairs." There is trouble, a man is pulling the girl who was playing the piano just now."

Song Ruolan didn't stop wiping. After she finished wiping, she got up and went to the window to look down. The man was holding the woman in the bi skirt on the stage, and he was yelling for her to come down and have a drink with him.

The woman didn't want to, and the maid beside her wanted to stop her, but she was pushed away by the guard brought by the man. The man was always stronger than the woman. He pulled the woman into his arms with one hand, and touched the woman's cheek. It was fake to drink with her , It is true to want to frivolous women.

And looking down from above, you can also see that the man's face is flushed. It seems that he drank a lot and committed the crime under the pretext of being drunk.

"There are a lot of officers and soldiers below, why didn't anyone come forward to stop them?" Song Ruolan saw that there were two tables separated by three or four tables with officers and soldiers in soft armor.

Xiao Qi didn't know either, but a waiter from the shop happened to come in to refill tea. When the waiter was asked, he sighed helplessly and said, "He is Qin Fu, the second son of Qin Mingyue, the richest businessman in Guizhou, because he has no business acumen, and he doesn't know how to learn. Qin Mingyue would not let him touch the family business, and basically handed it over to the eldest son Qin Kang, but Qin Mingyue was special to Qin Fu, and let him do his best, as long as he didn't commit such heinous crimes as murder and arson. , Qin Mingyue will strike for him behind his back, so the officers and soldiers in Guizhou City probably have accepted Qin Mingyue's gifts, as long as they are not excessive, they will not take action to stop him in this situation."

Song Ruolan listened and observed the situation below. The woman in the bi skirt struggled desperately, but was held tightly in Qin Fu's arms, and wanted to kiss her in public.

Her brows tightened more and more. In broad daylight, someone flirted with a woman, and officials were present but no one helped. It seemed that these people didn't take the emperor/fa seriously.

"Xiao Qi, go down with this princess." Song Ruolan turned around, she had to see how Qin Mingyue could keep Taifu with her, Princess Jinan.

"Princess, don't be angry. You don't need to deal with this trivial matter yourself. Besides, I am jealous. I don't like the princess showing her prestige in front of so many people. If someone has a secret love/love, what should I do~" Gu Changyan had finished eating the rice and wiped her face. She held Song Ruolan to sit her down and refilled her teacup with new tea.

Song Ruolan blushed darkly, what was she talking about? !Why is it that someone has a secret love/love for her? She really can say anything nonsense!

"Then you take Xiao's banner with you, just in case." Knowing that her martial arts are strong, Song Ruolan is still worried.

"Yeah." Gu Changyan nodded, looking sideways at Xiao Qi, with a layer of chill on his face.

She also hated men treating women as playthings the most in her life.
