Chapter three hundred and eighty second olive branch rejected
As soon as Xue Bizhu greeted everyone, there was an unhurried knock on the door behind him.
"Husband, sister, Lingyi has prepared the first dish, can you come in now?"
Liu Mingzhi immediately turned around and walked towards the door of Tianzihao Room, and completely opened the ajar door.
Seeing Huang Lingyi, whose beautiful eyes were also a little red, Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and blinked twice at the beauty.
"Lingyi, come in quickly."
Huang Lingyi was immediately overjoyed when she saw her husband safe and sound. Her beautiful eyes blinked in response to Young Master Liu, and she walked into the room holding the tray in her hand.
Huang Lingyi first placed four plates of exquisite cold dishes and four pots of fine wine on the tray on the table, and then stood obediently next to Young Master Liu.
"Lingyi, let me introduce you to my husband..."
It was another greeting behavior that was exactly the same as Xue Bizhu's. After everyone returned the gift one after another, they continued to sit on their respective chairs.
"Husband, distinguished guests, please taste these four dishes of cold dishes first. After the remaining dishes are cooked, I will instruct the second brother to bring them to you one after another."
After seeing her husband safe and sound with her own eyes, Huang Lingyi was finally in the mood to go back and cook the spoon carefully.
"Husband, you and your distinguished guests will have a good drink. I and my sister will go down first. If you need anything, just ask the second brother outside the door to greet me."
"Okay, don't be too tired."
"I understand, I'll take my leave."
After the Xue Bizhu sisters left, Liu Mingzhi happily waved to Liu Song beside him.
"Liu Song, pour some wine."
"Yes, Master."
"It is fate that we are all able to gather together today. I would like to offer you a drink first and do it first as a token of my respect."
"We don't dare, respect Your Majesty."
Due to the presence of outsiders, Bai Hulai and others also deliberately placed themselves below Young Master Liu in order to protect Young Master Liu's status as an emperor.
After finishing the glass of wine, Liu Song filled up the drinks for everyone again.
Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of cold dish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He put down his chopsticks and signaled to everyone.
"Everyone has worked hard for a long time, and now that I think about it, I feel empty in my stomach. Now that we are not in the palace, naturally there are not so many customs and etiquette.
There is no need for you to be formal, let alone polite.
These dishes are all superficial craftsmanship of a humble inner spirit that is not worth mentioning. If they are still to your taste, feel free to eat them with open stomachs."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I'll be brave enough to show you your courtesy."
"No, no, no, just enjoy it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
A group of people fought with the spy agents for a long time in the land of the imperial mausoleum. It is impossible to say that they are not hungry at all.
Seeing Mr. Liu's sincere look, everyone stopped saying polite words, put down their wine glasses, picked up their chopsticks and tasted the dishes on the table carefully.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the people at the wine table who were starting to eat. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip with a smile.
"Everyone, how are your craftsmanship?"
"To say it's a delicious dish is not flattering. My queen's craftsmanship is absolutely unparalleled in the world."
"That's right, that's right. If you can make cold dishes so delicious, it's only natural that the restaurant's business is so booming. The hot dishes you want to wait for are also among the best!"
"It's not a worthwhile trip, it's not a worthwhile trip."
"Hahaha, as long as you are satisfied, if I hear your comments, I will definitely smile.
I can also rest assured that I don't have to worry about poor hospitality.
If you still want to relive it in the future, you can come to the capital at any time and go directly to the humble house to visit.
At that time, all you need to do is make an announcement, and I will definitely sweep up the couch to greet you, and let my concubine cook in person again to entertain all the distinguished guests until you are satisfied.
Of course, if you are more greedy and want to taste delicious food every now and then, you can just stay in the capital.
After all, there is nothing wrong with being greedy for words. This young master himself also has this problem. It is really human nature.
The two sisters who run the restaurant are engaged in the business of welcoming guests. You can not only taste the delicious food while staying in the capital, but also take care of the business of the two sisters.
My young master now has a big business, and it is really not easy to support a large family, so I can only be a philistine and attract business to you.
It’s funny, I really made you laugh.”
During his seemingly cheerful joking, Young Master Liu had already extended his olive branch to some masters who wanted to win over for the first time.
Although what he said was not too obvious, he knew that everyone present could understand what he wanted to express.
We are all smart people, and some words just mean what they say, and there is no need to say it too obviously.
Some of them didn't take it seriously at first when they heard Young Master Liu's words, thinking that it was just Young Master Liu saying some modest words for his beloved concubine.
But after they listened to Mr. Liu's words, they couldn't help but feel something in their hearts. The delicious food in their mouths suddenly became a bit unpleasant.
Your Majesty is planning to use yourself and others for your own use!
Good boy, I really belong to you.
My dear grandson, you have to exercise caution.
Stinky brother, you have a crooked belly.
Oh, shit, how should I answer this? Agree or not? If you agree, it is really not what you want. If you don't agree, Your Majesty, he won't suddenly fall out, right?
I used to hear people say that being with a king is like being with a tiger, but today I experienced it firsthand what it feels like.
What should I do? Does the Lord know what His Majesty means?
What should we do? The Lord did not explain these things!
Amitabha, Buddha bless me, I still want to serve you!
If Your Majesty suddenly turns against you because you don't agree, what should you do? Are you going to turn a grassroots into a bandit?
Why doesn't anyone come forward to answer? Forget it, talking too much will lead to mistakes. I should follow their example and continue to remain silent.
Liu Mingzhi lightly glanced at the reactions of several people with different expressions. He felt slightly disappointed and cheerfully raised his glass to signal.
"Everyone, don't just eat vegetables. These fine wines are all aged wines that have been stored in the dust for decades. Come, come, drink, drink.
If the masters don't want to drink, they can drink some fragrant tea to soothe their stomachs."
"We propose a toast to Your Majesty."
"Let's have a drink together."
As soon as everyone put down their wine glasses, several waiters from the restaurant brought several more pots of tea, several jars of fine wine, as well as four plates of cold dishes and four plates of hot dishes.
Liu Mingzhi once again invited everyone to start drinking and feasting. While drinking wine, he continued to extend his olive branch to several of them.
Everyone had no choice but to respond vaguely, racking their brains to think of a reasonable response.
As the second brother went upstairs frequently, eighteen dishes of various delicacies were finally served on the dinner table.
While everyone was tasting the mouth-watering dishes on the wine table, they were helplessly coping with the olive branch thrown by Master Liu.
This taste can be described as the two heavens of ice and fire.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when Liu Dashan saw Liu Sandao and the others, they still pretended to be confused and made their thoughts clear.
Song Zhong casually glanced at the crowd, put down his wine glass carelessly, watched Liu Mingzhi burp heavily and spoke first.
"I have to go back to Jiangnan to guard the grave of my late wife, and I can't stay in the capital.
The main reason is that I don't want to stay. Although the capital is prosperous, it is too depressing for me.
If you plan to stay by force, my brother will have no choice but to fight him out.
But even if we call him out, we will still be friends in the future. If you need my help in any way, just send me a letter. As long as you are not busy, I will definitely help you."
Song Zhong, the coffin bearer, is Song Zhong, and his words are still straightforward and straightforward.
Especially the sentence that if you plan to stay by force, my brother will have no choice but to fight him out, which made the others feel extremely tense.
He couldn't help but secretly said, "Awesome, he is indeed a hero!"
But what will happen to His Majesty?
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Zhong, an old friend he had met in his hometown of Jinling in the past. Knowing that this was his nature, he could only nod with a wry smile.
"If Brother Song doesn't want to, then forget it. I will never force you to stay."
When everyone saw Song Zhong saying that, Young Master Liu still didn't get angry and turned his face. They secretly said "Sage Lord" and followed Song Zhong's fist.
"Your Majesty, Liu Sandao also has a family... Sigh... Your Majesty forgives me."
"Your Majesty, I am a foreigner. Being lucky enough to taste a delicious vegetarian meal is already a great favor from Your Majesty. How can I continue to indulge my lust for words?
Besides, I am not very blessed, and I really don’t dare to let my queen, who is a thousand years old, cook in person to entertain me again.
The Qingdeng Ancient Buddha is what I long for. I hope your majesty will forgive me.
But in the future, as long as your Majesty is willing to drive you, I will definitely be willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
"The same is true for a poor monk. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"The little monk is under strict control. If he stays in the capital, I guess the Buddha will not be able to protect the little monk. I will come again to pay homage to Donor Liu when I have the opportunity."
"I wait……"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the people who refused one after another, and couldn't help feeling filled with regrets. He smiled bitterly and raised his glass to signal.
"That's all, since you all have secular affairs in your hometown, I will naturally not force others to do anything.
Now that we have had enough wine and food, and it is getting late, I would like to offer you one last glass of practice wine.
Drink this cup to the full, and we will meet again if we are destined."
