Chapter 79 (2/2)
In the garden, there were at least five or six sheds, with gauze curtains, charcoal stoves and red charcoal fires. Mrs. Meng's people swarmed in, and there were no empty seats in an instant.
Before they left, these people began to talk.
”It's said that the old lady invited a cook to watch the moon this year. She's valuable. The old lady is so rich!”
”Expensive? How about sun in Fanlou in Beijing? ”
”Who are you, sun? Even the prince had to make an appointment a few months in advance according to the regulations before she could meet. She looked at the moon and was just a cook. She waved it and called it. How can she be compared with sun!” Between the lines, this man respected everyone sun and looked down on the moon.
”You can't say that. The grand banquet rewards 10000 yuan and 20 pieces of silk. That's her worth. You can get the 10000 yuan. Looking at the moon may listen to you.”
”God, is the old lady crazy? Money is not left to our children and grandchildren, but cheap to outsiders. For me, I will never do this. ”
Hum, this money is cheap. Outsiders won't leave it to you. A group of white eyed wolves!
The young man scolded secretly in the bottom of his heart with a black face and hurried back to the flower hall.
The old lady is talking to the girl brought by Meng Qianxiu.
”Xue Nianzhi, what a good name. Is Xue the Xue family in Hedong?” The old lady read her name and asked.
Xue Nianzhi lowered her head and smiled.
The little girl was carved with powder and jade. She spoke softly and behaved with a degree of hesitation. When the old lady saw her reaction, she thought of their move to buy the opposite house. She felt that they could not be wrong. The more she looked, the more she liked it. She was so intimate that she held her hand and refused to release it. She gave her her her jade bracelet as a gift. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xiao Sui coming back and asked her to call for food in the kitchen.
The younger glanced at Xue Nianzhi's bright wrist with a jade bracelet like the rippling green waves in spring. The water head is excellent. The old lady is used to wearing it. The jade bracelet has been raised for many years and is more crystal smooth. The old lady is not willing to give it to Meng Qianxiu, but she gave it to the little girl. It can be seen that she is so happy with the old lady.
The kitchen was as tight as the final sprint. The chef looked at the moon and kept stirring. The oil and temperature in the pot locked the gravy tightly in the meat. Finally, the spoon copied the bottom and picked up the dishes and covered them on the plate. Ah Yao quickly took them over to make the final decoration and set the plate. The servant girl took the dishes out.
Everyone is busy.
The first cold dish consists of frozen pears, frozen grapes and other fruits, pine nuts, longan and other dried fruits, Atractylodes macrocephala and ginseng, carved oranges, green plum lotus and other carved honey fried dishes, Xiangzao herring, fried shrimps with ginkgo, braised East goat, hand washing crab, Yuanbao Xiangyang meat, duck tongue stick, variegated fried steamed bread, radish and chicken soup, which quickly fills the table with water.
When the people in the garden saw that their elders moved chopsticks, and whether the old lady in the inner room had picked up chopsticks or not, they began to eat.
Xue Nianzhi waited for the old lady to pick up the chopsticks. Then she moved the chopsticks. She was stunned and chewed slowly.
After dinner, she was curious to ask who the cook was.
