Old man Yao, along with Baofu from the infirmary, was left behind for dinner by Lady Wang and Tian Yuqiao.
This time, he had raised the bid to twenty taels of silver. This was much more than all the gifts they had received today combined. It was countless times more than that.
Lady Wang cooked this dinner with extra care. She didn't use the leftover dishes from the noodles at noon, but specially made a new table of food.
There was still some meat left in the house, and Lady Wang was also very generous. She cooked quite a few dishes in accordance with the menu Tian Yuqiao had taught her.
Pot meat, stewed meat, sliced meat, minced eggplant, a wooden ear fried meat, cut a large plate of meat jelly, stir-fried a plate of mustard with yellow bean sprouts, with meat in it.
He even made a mushroom meatball soup with mushrooms, fried an eggplant box, and fried a green pepper potato filament.
When these dishes were placed on the table, even Old Man Yao, who was used to eating high quality food, had a surprised expression on his face. That old man was also one of those who ate all sorts of snacks, but he also showed an expression of longing for the noodles on the table.
Baofu couldn't help but start gulping down his saliva. This caused Old Man Yao to knock his head with his hand.
”Look at you, brat. You look like you have no future. Your saliva is about to flow onto the plate.” Yao Lao Wu teased.
”Aiyo, shopkeeper, can't you be a little more lenient with me? I was already stupid, what can I do now that I've been beaten stupid by you? ” Baofo rubbed his head and began to complain.
Lady Wang brought out a platter of steamed buns, smiling as she said to everyone, ”Hurry up and eat while it's still warm. I really want to thank all of you for coming over to help, otherwise my Qiao'er's injuries …”
Yao Lao Wu felt a little embarrassed and quickly waved his hand, ”Big sister, this is nothing. We doctors are parents, anyone who is hurt will come immediately. Don't worry about this.”
Mrs Wang was still planning to be polite. Tian Yuqiao quickly said, ”Mother, there is no need to be polite. Shopkeeper Yao is not a petty person. The number of people he has saved, even if there were not a hundred, there are at least dozens. ”Let's hurry up and sit down to eat. Yutang is hungry too.”
Sure enough, just like Baofu, Tian Yutang and the others were all staring at the dishes on the table with green light shining from their eyes.
In the afternoon, the little guy felt a bit excited since it was his first time having a feast at home. In the end, he didn't eat much. After that, when he encountered the matter of Madame Li coming over to make trouble for him, the little guy's stomach had long since been rumbling with hunger.
Shopkeeper Yao was the first to move his chopsticks. Following him, the old man also picked up a piece of meat jelly and dipped it into the garlic paste. After putting the meat jelly into his mouth, his yellow eyes instantly lit up.
”En, this taste is pretty good. It's smooth and delicious. It's really not bad.”
Old Man Zhong praised the meat jelly while Shopkeeper Yao smiled and said to Tian Yuqiao and Lady Wang, ”To be honest, this old mister is the most precious treasure of our Hall of Jiren. He has been to the north and south, practicing medicine and saving countless lives. There really aren't many dishes that could make him praise them in such a manner. ”
After Manager Yao finished, he picked up a piece of meat jelly and placed it in his mouth, eating it with relish.
Baofu, on the other hand, had a soft spot for meat. He did not even bother to eat the meat jelly, and instead focused on the meat dishes.
