The food was served very quickly. Eight major plates and twelve small plates were placed on the table. Xiao Yungui widened his eyes. He originally thought that Xiao Chaogui was now leading his troops to attack. It would be better if he could eat a bowl of hot rice, but he didn't expect it to be so sumptuous.

"Master, these dishes are famous Hunan dishes, and I don't know if they fit the taste of the master." A fat chef nodded and bowed, and said with a strong Hunan accent. He narrowed his eyes because he was too fat, and wiped them with his hands from time to time with the apron tied around his waist. The apron was greasy, and no matter how hard the fat hands were, they were greasy, and it looked a little disgusting.

The driver Li Zuo, who was standing beside him pressed the hilt of the knife, stared at him and shouted: "What a great master, this is His Highness, the Western King of our heavenly kingdom!"

The fat chef was startled, his legs weakened and he knelt down, kowtowed and bowed like pounding garlic, saying, "The prince is above, the villain has no eyes, and the villain has no eyes, I don't know Mount Tai, please spare my life..."

This cook looked in his forties, much older than him. Seeing him kneeling down and begging for mercy, Xiao Yungui felt very uncomfortable. Did he treat himself as a dead person? Xiao Yungui could not experience any sense of superiority from the ancient etiquette of kowtowing and bowing at any time. Instead, he felt like a thorn on his back and felt very uncomfortable.

"Get up and talk first." Xiao Yungui waved his hand, wanting to help him, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he finally didn't reach out and asked in confusion: "What kind of Mingtang are these dishes?" Xiao Yungui has also eaten a lot of good things, but these dishes in front of him are Hunan dishes, and he rarely ate Hunan dishes since he used to eat them.

The fat chef wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up tremblingly, pointed to the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one: "These are all famous dishes in our Hunan cuisine. This plate contains steamed cured meat, five-yuan fairy chicken, marinated duck, Dongting golden turtle, and Daozhou gray geese. They are all cooked with the best ingredients. The chicken is the famous Taoyuan chicken in Hunan, the duck is the Linwu duck, the goose is the Wugang goose, and the Dongting golden turtle is the golden thread turtle in Dongting Lake. The twelve small plates have rock sugar Xianglian..."

Xiao Yungui raised his hand and interrupted him, saying, "This is Chaling, why are there so many ingredients from all over Hunan?"

The fat chef bowed down and replied, "Mr. magistrate Guo..." As soon as he said this, Li Zuoche shouted angrily: "What a bullshit magistrate, it is Guo Shijian, the magistrate of Qing Yao!"

The fat man nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's Guo Shijian, the magistrate of Qing Yao. He originally had delicious food in the world. In a few days, it will be his birthday. So he spent a lot of money to collect these ingredients from all over the place to prepare for banquets. But he didn't expect that the prince would come so quickly. Yesterday, Guo Shijian had to take his little sister out of the city overnight. In a hurry, all the ingredients were left."

Xiao Yungui suddenly realized that this magistrate of Chaling Guo Shijian was a delicious person. He spent a lot of money to purchase ingredients, but he didn't take a bite, and it turned into a spoil of the Taiping Army.

At this moment, Tang Erniu reported loudly outside the door: "His Royal Highness, Guard Lin and General Li have arrived."

Xiao Yungui laughed and stood up and said, "Erniu, let the two brothers come in." Xiao Yungui often does such food, drink and play. He has a group of wine and meat buddies around him, so he knows how to use some small favors to win over people. Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang are the best cards in his hands now. Only after playing well can he have a little capital to fight with the king of heaven. If the "Heavenly Father" fights, if he can't play well, he will have no hope.

Tang Erniu led two men into the house. The first man looked about thirty years old, with a square face with a Chinese font, a short whisker on his lips, a red scarf on his head, a colorful opera robe on his body, and a white jade belt wrapped around his waist. Xiao Yungui relied on Xiao Chaogui's memory to recognize that this person was Lin Fengxiang.

Another man was over 20 years old, with a thin face, tall cheekbones, and a red scarf on his jaw. He also had a red short jacket, red big bloomers, and high horse boots under his feet. This man was Li Kaifang. Their incongruous appearance almost made Xiao Yungui laugh out loud.

Xiao Yungui turned his face straight. After thinking for a moment, he really couldn't laugh. The two of them were actually nothing in the Taiping Army. Many old long-haired men didn't need to wear a zipper, but the headscarf must be tied. Generally, they tied red scarves. Only those who were crowned kings could use yellow scarves. The soldiers of the Taiping Army wore a zipper during wartime, and they were not very particular about it at ordinary times, but one thing the Taiping Army did was very good, that is, they would never wear a cheongsam jacket for the bannermen. They had to wear the Han people's clothes!

But it was nearly two hundred years since the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and many people couldn't tell what Hanfu was like, so many Taiping soldiers would rather wear costumes than wear cheongsams and jackets.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui couldn't laugh, and an inexplicable sorrow arose from his heart. Most of the Taiping Army were from peasants. The simplest thoughts in their minds influenced them. The ancestors of Han people threw away their own tribes and were forced to shave their hair and change their clothes. This was not the fault of the Taiping Army and the others. They rose up to resist and were unwilling to wear enemy clothes. They should have been respected, but sadly, they were forced to choose costumes because they could not verify what Hanfu was like. This was not the ridiculousness of the Taiping Army but the tragedy of the entire nation!

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yungui under the pressure of this secret air. After all, he was not a person from this era, nor was he angered. After a little bit of emotion, he returned to his original mentality. It is important to save his life first.

Xiao Yungui pointed to a few empty seats and said, "Come on, two brothers, haha, you haven't had enough food yet. Let's have a meal together, these are all good things."

Lin Fengxiang pursed his lips tightly, frowned but did not speak. Li Kaifang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Xiwang. You have been sleeping in the open all the way. I haven't eaten such a good thing for a long time." He followed him and pulled Lin Fengxiang and said, "Thank you Xiwang quickly."

Xiao Yungui felt a little suspicious. Lin Fengxiang's face was so smelly. Could it be that he had a grudge against him? After the two of them sat down, Xiao Yungui smiled and greeted Li Zuoche and Tang Erniu to sit down together. The two of them were very flattered and thanked each other again and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the fat chef bowed and smiled with courage, "Prince, please use it slowly. Please prepare some fine wine for you guys. There are some good ones in the wine cellar in the mansion..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Fengxiang interrupted his words with a silence: "Stop doing these rituals of the Qing Demon! We are marching and fighting now, and drink some wine for a ball!"

Li Kaifang hurriedly kicked him, and Lin Fengxiang looked down at the table in a bad mood. The two of them did not escape Xiao Yungui's eyes. He smiled. It seemed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was really doing a great job. They hated the Qing court, and even the Qing Dynasty's rituals were hated.

Lin Fengxiang is right. He is now alone and is surrounded by enemy-occupied areas. Several leaders of the army are here. What's wrong with getting drunk is something wrong.

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "Brother Lin is right. You can't drink wine now. After you have captured Changsha, it will be too late for us to drink." Then he glanced at the fat chef and said, "You can't finish so many dishes, so you can sit down and eat some."

The chef's face changed, and he smiled and said, "The prince killed the villain. The villain is just a chef. How dare you sit with you all?"

Xiao Yungui found that the cook was inappropriate when he observed his words and said, "Don't you want to try the food you cooked yourself? I'll let you sit down!"

The chef sat tremblingly at the last head, staring at the plate of Dongting golden beetle with a pair of squint eyes. Xiao Yungui frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this dish?"

The chef's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "No, nothing is wrong."

Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others saw that the chef was guilty of being a thief. There must be something wrong with this dish. Tang Erniu stood up and grabbed the chef's collar and asked, "When I was cooking just now, I had my subordinates staring at you. What's wrong with this dish?"

The fat chef suddenly felt soft to the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Prince, please spare me, please spare me, the villain's lard is so funny. Just now, when the dishes were delivered, I added some ingredients while the army was not prepared."

Tang Erniu was furious and grabbed the fat chef and asked, "What did you add in?"

The fat chef lowered his head and said, "Add, add some villain and spit in..."

Hearing this, Tang Erniu raised his fist and wanted to hit him. Xiao Yungui hurriedly stopped him, and then looked at the chef and burst into laughter. Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others were very surprised. On weekdays, according to the hot and stingy temper of the Western King, even if the chef was not killed, he would have to beat him hard. Tang Erniu took the initiative and wanted to beat him harder. If the Western King's aura faded, he might be able to spare his life, but he didn't expect Xiao Yungui would laugh.

Xiao Yungui smiled for a while, got up and walked over, looked at the chef and asked, "I didn't offend you, why did you make fun of me?"

The chef lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xiao Yungui, and whispered: "Your prince, you are killing officials in Guangxi to rebel. Originally, the people in Hunan all admire you with thumbs up. But now you are in Hunan and believe in foreign religions. It is said that you kill people without blinking, and you also take the people as your subordinates. Those who do not follow you have been killed. Different from those who believe in you have also been killed. Today, the villain is arrested and will not let the villain go home. The villain knows that it must be you who want to take the villain as a rebel, so he was so angry that he added information."

Tang Erniu shouted: "What kind of thief?! We are holy soldiers, heavenly soldiers! The Qing Dynasty lackeys are demons and ghosts! They are Qing demons! We are here to rescue you and enter heaven together. You don't know anything. If you listen to others' nonsense, you will believe it?! Why don't you kowtow and apologize?!"

Xiao Yungui smiled and waved his hand and said, "This cook is interesting. It is natural for us to catch him. He is angry. But let me tell you that our holy soldiers are the ones who stand up for the people, and are specializing in dealing with corrupt officials, bannermen and bullies. How many towns have we broken along the way? If we all carry the people together, how many people will we have? We won't be the only ones now."

The chef grinned and nodded constantly. Xiao Yungui looked at the dish and frowned and asked, "Did you often do this before?"

The chef nodded proudly and replied, "The Qing Yao Guo Shi is so stingy. He will be scolded for a long time if he is scolded by him in the past. Whenever he is scolded, I will add some ingredients to him. For more than a month in the government office, he doesn't know how much saliva he has eaten."

Xiao Yungui laughed and returned to his seat to sit down, ordered someone to put the Dongting golden beetle in front of the chef, and said with a smile: "You cook is really interesting, I won't punish you anything, but this ingredients are rare and you can't waste it. You have nothing to eat your own saliva."

The chef grinned and nodded fiercely, thinking that he would lose his life and would at least be beaten. Unexpectedly, the prince just asked him to eat this dish, and he was magnanimous.

Following Xiao Yungui, he asked everyone to have dinner together. When he was about to pick up the chopsticks, he saw Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others holding their hands beside their mouths and chanting them gently. Xiao Yungui slapped his thighs and wondered how to forget this? These guys worshipped God's teachings and were used to praying before meals.

At that moment, Xiao Yungui also recited silently: "Thank you Heavenly Father, give me food and clothing, and thank you Brother Tian, ​​give me food and clothing. The Holy Spirit will always be there, stay in my heart, sweep away the demons, and do everything wrong."

Xiao Yungui read it naturally. It seemed that Xiao Chaogui had read it well before. What kind of fucked him prayed before? He didn't forget to sweep away the demons at the dinner. No wonder the Taiping Army was extremely fierce at first. It seemed that Master Hong's brainwashing skills were indeed two tricks.
