鳳髓龍肝 I Have Drunk The Jade Emperors
行者暗笑道:「老孫五百年前大鬧天宮時,吃老君丹、玉皇酒、王母桃及鳳髓龍肝,那樣東西我不曾吃過?是甚麼藥酒,敢來藥我?」那小妖真個將藥酒篩了兩壺,滿滿斟了一鍾,遞與老魔。行者暗笑道:「老孙五百年前大闹天宫时,吃老君丹、玉皇酒、王母桃及凤髓龙肝,那样东西我不曾吃过?是甚么药酒,敢来药我?」那小妖真个将药酒筛了两壶,满满斟了一钟,递与老魔。

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.
"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.
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.
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.
