At the table where Ji Yuan and Yin Zhaoxian were sitting, Ji Yuan was quite happy to see that Ying Feng had not taken away the jug. He weighed the wine in the jug and found that there was still more than half of it.
“Mr. Ji, Baijiang Shen is here, where are the big herring and the old turtle?”
The speaker was Yin Qing. He and Hu Yun had been chatting for so long. Naturally, he also learned through the other party that Bai Qi had brought the big herring and the old turtle. Hu Yun wanted to get together with the big herring, and Yin Qing also wanted to see it. Look at them who liked to listen to him reading by the river.
“Well, the rules in the main hall are that no one can enter without transforming into another form, or at least it must be in a physical form. I guess the old turtle should be in the side hall with the big herring.”
Yin Qing nodded and looked at Hu Yun.
“I see, we can only find them after the banquet.”
At this moment, Haechi was sitting next to Du Changsheng, tasting the food in the Dragon Palace alone. Before, he could not see what kind of method Ji Yuan used to actually make Long Zi feel so energetic in just a short moment. Maybe It’s similar to an illusion but makes people feel nothing.
Du Changsheng had been watching all the situations at the Dragon Transformation Banquet attentively before, from the embarrassment and nervousness of the gifts presented by all parties, to the awkwardness of the Dragon Girl and the curious gossip of Long Zi. It was only now that he felt free again. Focus on the food and wine in front of you.
“Mr. Xie doesn’t seem to like Dragon Palace’s dishes very much?”
Du Changsheng saw that although Xie Zhi occasionally served dishes, he only tasted them briefly, and occasionally even showed disgust on his face. He had tasted Dragon Palace’s dishes and felt that they were refreshing and full of energy. They were rare good dishes in the world.
Haizhi glanced at Du Changsheng and smiled.
“Hmph, these aquatic tribes like this. What they eat is as bland as water in their mouths. What’s the taste?”
“But Du thinks this dish is a rare delicacy in the world. After all, Mr. Xie’s taste is too tricky, hehehehe…”
Xie Zhi will look like a heroic warrior. Hearing Du Changsheng’s words, he touched the beard on his chin and suddenly smiled.
“Du Changsheng, are you the Dazhen Imperial Master? You should often go to the palace and enjoy palace banquets, right?”
“Huh? That’s true. Mr. Xie, what’s your advice?”
“No, no? Guidance doesn’t count? I feel that the skills of some chefs in the world are far better than the dishes in the Dragon Palace today. How can I call this delicious? This dish has a bit of watery air? Ordinary people think Tasting is just because you feel nourished by spiritual energy. The material of the dish is important, but to use it to deceive the taste is more serious? That is a blasphemy against delicious food! ”
Ji Yuan, who had excellent hearing, paused for a moment while pouring wine in front of him. Unexpectedly, Haezhi kept talking the same thing.
Du Changsheng was stunned even more by what he said.
“Well, it’s not that serious…”
“Why not? When it comes to the best seasonings in the world, for now I only recognize the two treasures in Ji Yuan’s hands.”
This man actually called Mr. Ji by his first name? In the whole world, among all the people Du Changsheng came into contact with, no one who knew Mr. Ji, whether they respected him or feared him, did not call him by his first name.
Du Changsheng was shocked, but his face remained calm. He slowly made an interested expression and faced Haechi.
“Oh? It seems that Mr. Xie has done a lot of research on this. I would like to hear the details!”
“Hey? Just a little research? Let me tell you? Ji Yuan has two treasures in his hand. One is spiritual root nectar, and the other is fire-refined spicy powder. Of these two things, one is so sweet that it refreshes the heart, Spicy, salty and tingling, it is the perfect combination of soul and taste. Adding some of it to any dish can transform it into something magical, but the quantity is not large and there are too few people who have the opportunity to taste it. “
Du Changsheng opened his eyes slightly and carefully glanced at the back of Ji Yuan in front of him.
“Does Mr. Ji know how to cook?”
“Not only does he understand, but he also has excellent cooking skills. It’s just that he is stingy and doesn’t know how to cook easily. The food in Dragon Palace is definitely incomparable. Even the food in some restaurants outside tastes better than here.”
“That’s not true, how can the food in restaurants outside compare with that of Dragon Palace?”
“Let’s not talk about it for now. Since you are the Imperial Master of Dazhen, it should be a piece of cake for the Emperor’s son to prepare a palace banquet for you. How about taking me to try it if you have the opportunity?”
Du Changsheng smiled and nodded.
“This is a small matter. If Mr. Xie is really interested, he can come to me at any time. Even if the chef from the imperial kitchen goes out to cook at the place designated by Mr. Xie, it will be no problem.”
“Hey, you are quite honorable as a national master, and you are also a cheerful person! As for me, I have always paid attention to fairness. If you are so cheerful, I have to show something.”
“Hahaha, thank you for being so polite.”
Du Changsheng’s mind went through several twists and turns in an instant, but in the end he didn’t say anything like “no need”, but said something polite, which was reserved and would not be misunderstood.
Haizhi looked at the gold star crown Du Changsheng was wearing.
“In the future, there will be more temporary Celestial Masters in your Heavenly Master’s office, and some of them may come from famous families in the Immortal Mansion. If you feel that you can’t hold them back, you can ask them to take an extra oath before taking up the post, and just swear to the ‘Haizhi’ , did you bring pen and paper?”
“Oh, bring it, bring it.”
Du Changsheng quickly took out the pen and paper, moved some plates and placed them on the table. He handed the ink-stained pen to Xie Zhi with both hands. The latter took the pen and started to draw on the white paper after thinking for a while.
After drawing for a long time, when he finally finished painting, the corners of Xie Zhi’s own eyes kept twitching, while Du Changsheng on the side frowned and looked at the paper.
“This is…”
“This doesn’t count!”
Xie Zhi grabbed the piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball and crushed it into powder in his hands. His painting skills were really not up to par. He was used to Ji Yuan’s smooth brush strokes to create calligraphy and paintings, so he compared it with his own. It’s as crude as drawing circles on the outside, and I can’t bear to see it.
“Count on fate, plan on fate…”
Haizhi shouted twice at Ji Yuan, the sound was not loud, but before Ji Yuan turned around, all the eyes around him were looking at him.
“Who is this person?” “Dare you call Mr. Ji by his first name?”
“A person from Dazhen?” “It doesn’t look like that.”
“It seems to have been brought by Mr. Ji.”
“Really?”
Ji Yuan then turned to look at Haezhi, who raised his pen.
“Come and help me draw it. I know you must have heard everything. You won’t refuse this, right?”
Of course Ji Yuan would not refuse this matter. Instead, he intended to add fuel to the flames. He said something to Yin Zhaoxian, got up and came to the opposite side of Haezhi and Du Changsheng.
“The painting and the name, right?”
“Yeah.”
Moving the white paper on the table to his side, Ji Yuan raised his hand without using the pen in Xie Zhi’s hand, and a pen in his sleeve rotated into his hand, still stained with ink.
Then Ji Yuan drew directly on the white paper. Within a moment, a strange and terrifying monster appeared in his painting: it had thick black hair all over its body, bright eyes, a big horn on its forehead, and four limbs. It has four stout claws as sharp as hooks, a short tail, a thick body, and a large mouth with long teeth.
At first glance, this monster gave Du Changsheng a terrifying and majestic feeling, and goosebumps appeared on his body.
After Ji Yuan finished drawing the image, he wrote the two characters “獬豸” below the image before he stopped writing, then raised his head and looked at Haichi.
“Since you have taken this step on your own, you might as well be more generous. Can officials related to Dazhen law enforcement also swear an oath in your name when they join the job?”
Haechi, who was still admiring his heroic appearance, suddenly felt a little embarrassed and refused again and again.
“No, no, no, no! There are so many officials in Dazhen, and every one of them can get some reputation as a law enforcement officer. Your plan is to dig a hole for me and jump into it. Mortals are easily tempted, and their minds are weakest. , If you do this, won’t you keep me busy?”
Ji Yuan frowned slightly.
“There is no need to be too strict, as long as the general principles are fine.”
“No, no, it’s not a matter of severity. Besides, if all the officials in the country are put in shackles, wouldn’t it be too lifeless?”
“What you said makes sense…”
Ji Yuan nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly his expression changed and he went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to continue.
“How about this? Real full-time judicial officials such as the Supervising Yushi and Yushitai can swear to you that such officials have high positions and are related to prisons, revision of laws and regulations, and supervision of hundreds of officials. They are not fair and strict people. It can’t be done, and the number of people is not large, so it’s all right?”
“This…”
“Didn’t you just say that I have the best two seasonings in the world? I’ll give you some more.”
Haizhi’s eyes lit up but he immediately frowned. There was no doubt that Ji Yuan was digging holes for him, but he knew Ji Yuan. He couldn’t just dig holes. It must be good for him and Haezhi. , such as borrowing Dazhen’s luck or something, but the practitioners at the Tianshi Office also said that officials like this feel like they are tied to Dazhen.
“You are just witnessing the oath. It doesn’t matter whether you pay attention to it or not. If you feel it is inappropriate, just ignore it.”
After Ji Yuan said this, Haechi nodded.
“Okay, that’s it.”
Ji Yuan smiled and looked to one side to Yin Qing.
“Qing’er can remember that those who are related to the duties of prison, revision of laws and regulations, and supervision of hundreds of officials can swear an oath to Haezhi. Also, the image of Haezhi can be depicted on the heads of such officials.”
Xie Zhi grinned, still feeling like he had been cheated, but he couldn’t express it.
While every seat in the hall was visiting each other to exchange cups and cups, some water tribes in the hall had already begun to secretly wink at each other. Some water tribes in various side halls also left their seats and gathered at the entrance of the main hall.
