I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 55 Dinner

At dusk, the county magistrate's mansion turned on the lights early, and red lanterns were hung in front of the doors of every house. Even big red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the verandah in the mansion.

A bright red light touched the white snow on the ground, making the whole courtyard brightly lit and extremely happy.

The strong aroma of rice from the backyard kitchen has long been wafting in the air.

Mrs. Lu was sitting on the Kang under the window of the East Room, with the food list handed to her by the maid in her hand. She was extremely surprised when she looked at the names of the dishes on the food list.

"She actually knows how to cook the dishes for the Shaobi Banquet?"

The maid came from the kitchen and nodded quickly: "However, the young lady of the Qiao family said that she would use her own method to change the cooking of these dishes. However, the maids saw that she was indeed very experienced in cooking.

Even Mother Chen can't compare to her knife skills."

Mother Chen is the cook in charge of the red case.

Lu was even more surprised.

"The Roasted Tails Banquet... Although I didn't have the opportunity to eat it when I was in Chang'an, I know that this is an extremely luxurious banquet. It must be delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the delicacies are exquisite. She actually dislikes the original method?"

But it makes sense if you think about it.

The biscuits and candies she makes are indeed more delicious than the snacks sold in the market.

Take the toffee she made as an example. There are some nougat candies on the market, but they are not as rich and sweet as hers. With such craftsmanship, it is normal to feel arrogant.

She wanted to see what surprises Qiao Yun could bring.

At that time, another maid opened the curtain and came in. She said, "Madam, the meal is almost ready. Where do you think it should be laid?"

"Let's go to the main room. It's bigger over there. Let Meng Shaoheng and his classmates come over and eat together. Otherwise, it would be boring for a family to share the New Year's Eve dinner in two courtyards." Mrs. Lu put down the food order in her hand and sorted it out.

The folds of the knee-length top and skirt are as if to get off the bed.

The personal maid quickly supported her and followed her to the main room.

Looking at the empty room, Mrs. Lu frowned. She quickly directed the maids to move things.

"I remember that there is a four-door screen with white feathers painted on it in the warehouse. You can quickly move over to block the door and leave a seat for one person to pass by. Then the New Year's Eve dinner will be placed here in the west room. We will sit in the back and take the food.

Put up the screen to prevent the wind from blowing."

"This carpet has also been changed... No, don't change it. Take the camel hair embroidered rug produced in Juan Yunzhou and lay it on another layer. It will keep you warm even when you sit on it."

For a while, the maids were busy moving around, moving tables, spreading stalls, and quickly decorated the venue for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Mrs. Lu almost ordered the maids to replace all the precious ornaments and hangings in the warehouse. The room was brightly lit and dazzling.

After everything was prepared, Mrs. Lu went to ask the maid to invite those people over.

For Mrs. Lu and Yun Xuemei, these young people are juniors. Therefore, Mrs. Lu took Yun Xuemei and sat on the chair where the guests were entertained.

"Sister of the Yun family, you don't have to be cautious. Just accompany me and accept their courtesy. I'm here!"

Yun Xuemei smiled.

She was forcibly promoted by Qiao Yun.

But it’s okay, it saves a lot of things.

When several young men came in, they looked up and saw Yun Xuemei sitting cross-legged on the barrier.

The beauty was wrapped in several layers of clothes but could not hide her slender figure. Her slender eyebrows were as bright as red plum blossoms blooming on snow, her slender waist was as quiet as pine trees growing in an empty valley, and the splendor of the room lost all color in front of her.

Chi Qing, who had no other thoughts about beauty, was the first to bend down and bow, and saluted, "Add Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Yun."

Mrs. Lu and Yun Xuemei looked at each other and smiled. Yun Xuemei was not an official wife and could not be called a madam. Telling the truth rashly would offend a few children, so Mrs. Lu changed her explanation.

"You are the eldest son of the Chi family, right? I heard that you took good care of the dog in the academy. Thank you very much. Since you are Heng'er's good friends, you don't have to be so estranged. Just call me aunt. This is both friendly and unfamiliar.

Discourtesy."

"Yes. I have met Aunt Lu and Aunt Yun."

Meng Shaoheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

This voice of aunt seemed to remind him that there was still an insurmountable gap in generation between him and his sweetheart.

After saluting, several people came to the west room and took their seats.

The Tang Dynasty was inherently open-minded, and so was the "Xuan Tang" whose world was very similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. Let alone men and women sitting at the same table, it didn't matter even if a large group of young ladies were chattering around the handsome man.

On the table are the same snacks Qiao Yun brought.

With these two large boxes of snacks, Mr. Lu was very frugal in eating. Whenever he took them, he only used a palm-sized plate to take a little of each kind. The biscuits were taken according to the number of people, one piece for each person! Because the biscuits accounted for

The space is large, so although it occupies the same space as other candies, Lu knows that there is not much in this space.

Eating toffee and biscuits, everyone knew that this snack must be Qiao Yun's handiwork.

In order to ease his heartbeat at the same table with the beauty, Meng Shaoheng had to find something to say.

"Why don't you see the Yun family sister?" He threw a piece of frankincense walnut into his mouth. This walnut is similar to honey walnut, but the syrup is made from milk and pastry. It has a rich milky fragrance and is not so sweet. With the fragrance of walnut,

This is the only snack he can eat.

Mrs. Lu curled her lips, this boy was really thinking about Qiao Yun.

Just as he was about to answer, Qiao Yun shouted loudly outside.

"Dinner is served!"

Everyone quickly looked back.

Seven or eight maids filed in carrying trays, and the rich fragrance made people feel refreshed.

Qiao Yun came in behind. She had already changed her clothes and threw the dress that was stained with the smell of oil smoke back into the game. She gave it to Lu Zheqiu to wash.

Because there was a man here this time, Mrs. Lu sat with Yun Xuemei. Qiao Yun and Meng Shaoqing sat next to their aunts respectively. Yun Xuemei had already reserved a seat for Qiao Yun. As soon as she came back, she sat directly

Sat down.

The maids placed the dishes on the table, and the dazzling array of delicacies immediately captured the attention of everyone present.

Qiao Yun looked at the people around her and said with a smile: "Why are you standing there? Eat?"

The maid added at the right time: "This New Year's Eve dinner was all completed by Mrs. Qiao alone, without anyone else's help."

Liu Er came to his senses, his face flushed. He recalled that when he first met Qiao Yun, he was frightened by her fierce attitude because the wontons she sold were too expensive.

Now it seems that her craftsmanship is far more than twenty coins!

The maid poured wine for everyone. The wine on the table was all sweet wine made from glutinous rice. It was light and sweet and not intoxicating no matter how much you ate. This would prevent someone from drinking too much and going crazy and losing face.

"Okay, let's get going, don't hold yourself back! You can just have a drink with Heng'er in private." Mrs. Lu and Yun Xuemei used the first and second chopsticks one after another. The elders took the lead, and the group of young people

Only then can I move my chopsticks.

"That's going to be an eye-opener for my aunt. These guys are going crazy trying to grab the food. The two sisters will definitely not be able to grab it. They're going to be hungry." Chi Qing held the wine glass, half-smiling but not smiling.

"Tsk." Qiao Yun smacked her lips, "Fortunately, I made two hundred Yanyue wontons, which is enough for you to eat! Someone, bring the Yanyue wontons first and stuff them in their mouths!"

For a moment, everyone burst into laughter.

The heat in the room melted the ice flowers on the window lattice, and there was a lot of fun at the dinner table...
