Husband, Have Dinner

On the 30th of the year, every household posted Spring Festival couplets to worship their ancestors.

However, this has nothing to do with the three mochizuki masters and disciples. They and a group of servants woke up at the end of the day, and Yin Shi began to work.

The broth used in many dishes has to be brewed right now, and the oil for the entire banquet table has to be refined by itself.

A Yao can't wait to have three heads and six arms, and take care of all the ingredients. She clearly lists all the things that are lightened in her mind, but the reality is different from the imagination.

Mochizuki looked around and saw that his apprentice’s hands were shaking, and his work efficiency was extremely slow. "Don’t panic, do things in an orderly manner. First prepare the dishes, and then help prepare the perfect dishes. After noon, the evening will be much easier. ."

A Yao nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and started to watch the dishes, but her heart was thinking that the old lady's New Year's Eve dinner was really lively.

The hills of ring cakes made of preserved fruits, decorated with gold leaf and red paper cut out of fish play lotus fields, forest pine cranes and chrysanthemum quail several auspicious and festive patterns. Eat, but indispensable.

In the front hall, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit. The servants between the doors and walls of the inner lanes sent me a gift plate, lamb, herring, and fruits. After ordering the number, a box was stacked in the side hall. The maid was busy. Give rewards based on the relatives of each family.

In the inner room, the old lady looked at the son Meng Qianxiu, who had rushed back, to arrange ten thousand years of food for her in the inner room.

Zhuluo holds the white rice that has been washed quickly, and puts various fruit ingot cakes such as tangerines, black water chestnuts, and water chestnuts. There are pine and cypress branches in the plum bottle, copper coins, fruits and calendars are hung on it, and the ninety-nine cold relief pictures are hung on the wall.

"Foster mother, if you don't go out to host again, Xiao Sui is afraid that she will cry." Xiao Sui is the maid who takes care of the old lady Meng on weekdays. Meng Qianxiu assisted the old lady Meng and moved into the front hall.

"That's such an exaggeration. No one likes to come to see my old lady on weekdays. Each family is just sending people to give a gift. If it is a big deal, every year, the girl will do it well." Mrs. Meng raised her hand. , Stopped the topic, held Meng Qianxiu’s hand and asked about his recent situation, "Well, you have lost a lot of weight this year. It’s good to be motivated, but don’t tire your body. This time I plan to stay in town. Live for a few days, shall we leave after the New Year?"

"Foster mother, please worry about me. I will not leave in the future. I will stay in Jiangliu County. This year, I found a western seat and moved to Jiangliu County with my host’s house. It happened to be right across from you. Are you happy to come and go?" Meng Qianxiu pointed out the high-walled courtyard opposite to the old lady Meng.

That is the original Lu family.

Lu Yuanwai was deprived of his fame and fame. Lu Yuanwai helped him to abuse and helped his son to mutilate the children. Lu Yuanwai and his son were cut off after the fall, the female relatives were married, and the family property was confiscated. Lu's house was left empty, and the grass on the wall did not grow a few inches, and a new owner was welcomed at the end of the year.

The Lu family had a murder case, and the backyard was deeply buried. I don't know how much resentment has accumulated. Many people want to start but have concerns about this matter.

Old lady Meng was surprised.

Meng Qianxiu smiled and explained clearly to her that the host family also knew that the Lu family had a murder case before. Because their family members were so many and used to living in large houses, they couldn't live in a small house. The Lu family bought it and renovated and moved in.

"The house is cleaned up today. I want to bring the girl over to sit and chat with you. Would it be convenient for you?"

"Alright, I also want to see her, what kind of girl is it that makes me willing to be Mr. Xixi." Mrs. Meng smiled, did not refuse Meng Qianxiu's request, and pondered for a moment. "The tribe is about noon." Arrived in time, and then left after the meal. You help me to deal with one or two in the garden. I am old. Although I like to watch the excitement, I can't bear it among so many people."

As expected by Mrs. Meng, her people stepped on the meal to deliver the next year's gift. Everyone's stomach was thunderous and asked to stay for the meal. Xiaosui led people to the garden to take their seats.

There were five or six sheds in the garden. The gauze tents were hung in the garden. Inside, there was a charcoal stove burning with red charcoal fire. The old lady Meng’s family members filed in, and the seats were all in an instant.

Before Xiaosui left, these people began to talk.

"I heard that this year the old lady invited the chef Mochizuki, she is worthy of money, the old lady is so lavish!"

"Expensive? How about the grandson of Fanlou in Beijing?"

"Who is everyone? Even the prince has to obediently follow the regulations and make an appointment a few months in advance to meet her. Mochizuki is just a cook. It can be compared with Grand Master!" This person highly praises Grand Master Sun, and looks down upon Mochizuki.

"You can't say that. The big banquet rewards 10,000 yuan and the silk is 20 horses. This is her worth. If you can get this 10,000 yuan, Mochizuki might listen to your dispatch."

"Oh my God, is the old lady crazy? The money is not reserved for my descendants, but cheaper for outsiders. For me, I would never do this."

Hmph, this cheap money won't be left to you by outsiders, a group of white-eyed wolves!

Xiaosui cursed with a black face in his heart, and quickly walked back to the flower hall.

The old lady was talking to the girl Meng Qianxiu had brought.

"Xue Nianzhi, what a good name, Xue is from the Xue family of Hedong?" the old lady asked, chanting her name.

Xue Nianzhi lowered his head and smiled.

The little girl sculpts jade, speaks softly, and behaves well. Seeing her reaction, the old lady thinks about their actions when they buy the door house. She thinks that she can't make a mistake. The more she looks, the more she likes it, and she should hold her intimately. Unwilling to let go of her hand, she gave her a jade bracelet as a meeting gift. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xiaosui's return and asked her to go to the kitchen to start cooking.

Xiao Sui glanced at it. Xue Nianzhihao wears a jade bracelet that resembles spring blue waves. The water head is very good. The old lady is used to wearing it. The jade bracelet has been kept for many years, and it is more crystalline and smooth. The old lady Lian Meng Qian Xiu was reluctant to give it, but gave the little girl the bracelet, which shows how much she pleases the old lady.

The kitchen was as tense as the last sprint. The chef Mochizuki kept his frying, and the oil and temperature in the pan tightly locked the gravy in the meat. Finally, the spoon picked up the dish and covered it on the plate, and Ayao quickly took it with his eyes. , Do the final decoration, and the maid brings out the dishes.

Everyone was busy going round and round.

Frozen pears, frozen grapes and other fruits, dried fruits such as pine nuts and longans, atractylodes ginseng and other scented herbs, carved oranges, green plum lotus, etc. The first cold dish composed of fried nectar, fragrant glutinous herring, ginkgo fried shrimp, braised eastern goat, wash hands Crabs, Yuanbao Xiangyang meat, duck tongue skewer, variegated fried steamed buns, radish chicken soup, came up like running water, and quickly covered the tabletop.

The tribesmen in the garden started eating chopsticks when they saw their parents use chopsticks, regardless of whether the old lady in the inner room had already used chopsticks.

Xue Nianzhi waited for the old lady to pick up the chopsticks, and then moved the chopsticks. She was stunned and chewed slowly with only one mouthful.

After the meal, she was curious to ask who the cook was. To be continued. Please browse for a better reading experience.
