Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh poor family
Zhao Jin: "..."
Gong Jie coughed slightly in embarrassment, "It tastes so good. I never thought that it tastes so good just by baking it like this."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin smiled slightly, slowly finished the barbecue in his hand, and then said: "This is not just because of the roasting method."
Zhao Jin looked at Chu Xiaoying, who was busy playing with the meat skewers in his hands after eating the skewers, "Chu Zhonglang must have eaten similar barbecue before."
Hearing his name, Chu Xiaoying nodded, but his eyes did not leave the aromatic barbecue in his hands. "What the prince said is true. The barbecue I ate outside before did not taste like this."
Qiu Yue looked at the row of sauces and said clearly: "Is it because of these sauces?"
Zhao Jin picked up the last remaining skewer of barbecue and nodded, "Yes, no matter how good the meat is, different cooking methods can produce different delicacies."
"But that alone is not enough. You also need to add appropriate and delicious sauces to make the barbecue more fragrant. Without these sauces, it will not be as delicious as it is."
Gong Jie and others paused for a moment, then quickly Gong Jie picked up the brush, brushed a layer of sauce on his barbecue, and said with a smile: "What King Xuan said is true."
After that, few people said anything.
Zhao Jin replied intently, and then he also concentrated on baking another batch.
However, before the barbecue in his hand was cooked, he smelled a burnt smell coming from Lin Jia's place.
Zhao Jin looked up and saw Lin Jia looking at the charred barbecue in his hand with some annoyance.
Because he didn't turn it over in time, one side of the barbecue in Lin Jia's hand had turned black and was obviously inedible.
"It's the first time for Mr. Lin to bake, and his cooking is normal." Zhao Jin said with relief.
Lin Jia smiled reluctantly and said, "I'll grill a few more skewers."
Soon, the barbecue in the hands of Gong Jie and others was ready, and they looked at the works in their hands with some curiosity.
Except for Chu Xiaoyi, Gong Jie and Qiu Yue all made their own food for the first time.
The three of them each gave a bunch to Zhao Jin, and Qiu Yue gave a bunch to Lin Jia, who was sitting next to him and still hadn't baked it.
Lin Jia took it, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
When Zhao Jin's obscure eyes noticed the embarrassment on Lin Jia's face, he paused slightly, and then naturally looked away.
The other three people didn't notice, they couldn't wait to try their handiwork.
I don't know if it was because he had tried barbecue for the first time and felt a sense of accomplishment. Gong Jie felt that the barbecue in his hand was more delicious than many delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Qiu Yue, who was sitting opposite him, finished the barbecue in his hands in the blink of an eye. He ate quickly but was not embarrassed.
After eating, Qiu Yue's eyes were fixed on the barbecue in front of Gong Jie.
Gong Jie dumbfounded and gave him a string.
After Zhao Jin finished baking the batch in his hand and divided it among several people, he raised his hand and waved, and Chi Yi came over.
"The rest is up to you."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Jin stood up and looked at Gong Jie and the others, "Master Gong, why don't we eat barbecue and drink at the same time?"
Gong Jie laughed a few times and immediately agreed.
Chi Yi took Zhao Jin's place, and the other four, their respective guards or servants also took their places.
When he stood up, Lin Jia glanced at his barbecue.
He always felt that his grilling was not as good as the others, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips hard before turning around and leaving.
When Zhao Jin asked for a drink, the guards brought by Zhao Jin had already opened the two jars of wine and poured it into the wine glasses. The rich aroma of the wine spread.
Chu Xiaoying took a deep sniff, his eyes brightened slightly, "This is the best pear blossom white from the reception room!"
"It seems that Chu Zhonglang often goes to the guest building to drink." Zhao Jin joked and sat down on the main seat.
Followed by Gong Jie, Chu Xiaoyi, Lin Jia and Qiu Yue.
After Zhao Jin took a sip of wine, Chu Xiaoyi couldn't wait to raise his head and take a big sip, and said happily: "This pear blossom white, Yingke Building has been selling it in limited quantities, and each person can only buy half a jar at a time. It's really greedy.
It’s killing me.”
Zhao Jin laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, how much does Chu Zhonglang want to drink today (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 477: Poor Family
Just drink as much as you want, I have stocked up on a lot of good wine!"
"If this is the case, then I will not be polite to you!"
Gong Jie next to him laughed, "For him, lack of alcohol would kill him."
Qiu Yue also laughed and cursed a few words, and Lin Jia originally wanted to follow, but he couldn't open his mouth. He opened and closed his lips several times without uttering half a word, and then closed them again.
With barbecue and wine, Zhao Jin felt vaguely like going to a snack street to eat barbecue in his previous life, except that both the meat and the wine were much more high-end.
By the time Zhao Jin felt slightly full, everyone had already drank a lot and eaten a lot of barbecue.
Qiu Yue held the wine glass in her hand and suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of which, ordinary people actually admire the prince."
"To be able to work hard alone to such an extent and master martial arts, you are a leader in everything." As he said that, Qiu Yue raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Zhao Jin:
"Your Majesty, the common people would like to toast you and wish you all the best in the future."
Zhao Jin raised his glass, and when Qiu Yue drank it down, he said: "Mr. Qiu is too complimentary. Sometimes there is nothing we can do. If we don't fight, the outcome will be hard to say."
"But Mr. Qiu's literary name, let alone Bianzhou, is known to few people in the entire Zhao Kingdom. I am also here, and I would like to pay a toast to Mr. Qiu!"
After Zhao Jin and Qiu Yue finished drinking, they heard Gong explain again: "What Brother Qiu said is true. Zhao State is really lucky to have King Xuan!"
Gong Jie did not hide his affection for Zhao Jin at all.
He was able to withstand pressure, solve so many cases, resist foreign enemies, put down rebellions, and previously managed Yunzhou County in an orderly manner.
Although Gong Jie didn't have many interactions with Zhao Jin before, he also admired King Xuan quite a lot.
Finally, Zhao Jin and the four of them toasted a glass of wine.
After everyone chatted for a while, Gong Jie, perhaps already a little drunk, suddenly complained about Qiu Yue, "I have tried to persuade Brother Qiu to take the scientific examination several times."
"Then why didn't you persuade me?" Qiu Yue raised his eyes and looked at Gong Jie.
Gong Jie sighed, "I know you have a grudge in your heart, and I want you to help me, but I can't force you to become an official in the court."
"Have a grudge?" Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Yue curiously.
He originally thought that Qiu Yue just didn't want to be an official and didn't want to get involved in the intrigues of the officialdom. But now it sounds like he has another hidden agenda.
Gong Jie turned his head and said with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, "Isn't that right? Brother Qiu came from a poor family. When he wanted to take part in the scientific examination for the first time, he was unable to participate because of the imperial court's restrictions on scholars from poor families."
"See again...hey!"
