Wukong laughed to himself: "When old Sun made havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago I ate Lord Lao's elixir, the Jade Emperor's wine, the Queen Mother's peaches and phoenix marrow and dragon liver. What is there I have not eaten?"

A four-item inventory of the theft that got him buried under a mountain: the alchemist's pills, the emperor's cellar, the Queen Mother's immortality peaches, and the rarest delicacies imaginable. 鳳髓龍肝 is still Chinese for food beyond price.

是shì甚shén麼me藥yào酒jiǔ,敢gǎn來lái藥yào我wǒ?」 是shì甚shén么me药yào酒jiǔ,敢gǎn来lái药yào我wǒ?」

"What kind of drugged wine is this, that it dares to drug me?"

甚 is shén here — the question word — against the shèn of very that turned up in his complaint about the robe. And 藥 is used twice, first as the noun and then as a verb: what sort of drug-wine dares to drug me.

那nà小xiǎo妖yāo真zhēn個gè將jiāng藥yào酒jiǔ篩shāi了le兩liǎng壺hú,滿mǎn滿mǎn斟zhēn了le一yì鍾zhōng,遞dì與yǔ老lǎo魔mó。 那nà小xiǎo妖yāo真zhēn个gè将jiāng药yào酒jiǔ筛shāi了le两liǎng壶hú,满mǎn满mǎn斟zhēn了le一yì钟zhōng,递dì与yǔ老lǎo魔mó。

The lesser fiends really did strain out two pots of the drugged wine, poured a cup brim full, and handed it to the old fiend.

篩 is to strain or sieve, and it is the ordinary Ming word for warming and straining wine before serving. 將 is jiāng. The staff carry out the order with perfect efficiency, as they always do.


總評 Commentary

Wukong's inventory is his standard move — when threatened, recite the crimes — but there is a real argument inside the boasting. A creature who has eaten the elixir of immortality and the peaches of long life is, quite literally, not poisonable, and every item on the list is a reason why.

The chapter has now had him recite this material three separate times: the furnace in the skull poem, the Peach Banquet in the staff rhapsody, and here the menu. He has one story and he tells it in whatever register the situation calls for.
