Although Cheng Mansion is a large family, the dishes on the table are nothing more than some green vegetables, shrimp, sea cucumber, free-range chicken, etc., but these ordinary ingredients have taken a lot of effort, and the degree of delicacy is incomparable to ordinary people. Haining rape is used for green vegetables, which are softer and glutinous than ordinary green vegetables; alpine salted meat is taken from Huangshan in Anhui Province, and seafood such as prawns and square fish are still fresh from the fishing boats, and the crushed ice is directly imported from the wharf.

Four cold dishes, delicate ice flower drunken chicken, green edamame is extremely crisp and delicious, the hot cooking method makes the smoked fish skin crispy and tender, and the meat is crystal clear, which arouses people's appetite.

The hot dishes were also served one by one, and Cheng Chazhong, the head of Cheng Mansion, personally moved a dish of braised river eel with garlic dates to his mother, Mrs. Cheng, and said: "Mother, try this, I asked the kitchen to make a new dish, don't you like thick oil red sauce, but your body can't eat too heavy taste, I asked the kitchen to use dates with exclusive secret sauce to hang the color, the taste is not bad at all." ”

Mrs. Cheng glanced at her son and said with a smile: "I know that you are filial. The second wife, Man Zhen, hurriedly said to the old lady flatteringly: "Cha Zhong has always remembered his mother's body, and every day he asks people to find a way to make your old man's body healthy." ”

The old lady bowed her head, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy. Man Zhen saw that the old lady was happy, so she continued to smile: "A few days ago, I heard that there is a Taoist chief in Xicheng who knows how to maintain health, when will I send someone to invite him to come and give your mother some supplements to prolong your life, it should be very curative......

The third aunt on the side, Tai Peng, glanced at the second wife, took out a silk handkerchief and touched her mouth, and then said: "What did my sister say, the ancestors are blessed people, and the Ji people have their own heavenly protection.

The second wife, Man Zhen's face changed slightly, her hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and finally she couldn't help but sneer: "You always know best, my master and I are both idle people, etc., and we are used to doing things randomly!"

As if pretending to exclaim, he hurriedly covered his plump chest, glanced at Cheng Chazhong out of the corner of his eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Oh, master Mingcha, you also saw it, I didn't mean it! It's my sister who is so careful!"

The second wife, Man Zhen, snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to her. Cheng Chazhong frowned and said, "Eat and eat, so many dishes can't stop your mouth!"

"Dad, this dish is really delicious," young grandmother Lin Xuexian hurriedly said, her plain face was full of gentleness, "Grandma will definitely like it." As he spoke, he looked at her husband, the eldest young master Cheng Ruitai, and wanted him to speak out to ease the atmosphere, but Cheng Ruitai was like an old monk, just concentrating on eating his dishes, ignoring the arguments at the dinner table, Lin Xuexian sighed slightly and stopped talking.

Gong Mengshu had already put a pair of chopsticks in the porcelain plate for the old lady, and the old lady took a bite and put down the chopsticks. "Mother, isn't it to your liking?" Cheng Chazhong, who is a powerful figure, is an absolute filial son at home, and hurriedly asked the old lady.

The old lady shook her head and said, "This dish is good, Ruikai likes it the most, when will he come back, I miss him." ”

Gong Mengshu leaned over and whispered to the old lady: "Grandma, don't worry, Second Young Master Ruikai will come back in a few days, and it will be the day when he graduates from the military academy." ”

"Really?" said the old lady, "These dishes are kept for him to eat, and he likes them." ”

Cheng Chazhong shook his head and said: "Mother, you are confused, that kid Ruikai will not come back for a while, wouldn't it be ranciful for you to leave this dish for him?

Gong Mengshu also nodded, and followed Cheng Chazhong's words and said, "Yes, grandma, your amount of food is getting less and less, it's better to eat well, otherwise the second young master will be distressed when he comes back." ”

Speaking of Cheng Ruikai, the old lady just smiled, and her appetite was better. Seeing this, Gong Mengshu asked the kitchen to bring out the noodles she had customized for the old lady in advance, which was a bowl of green noodles, and the real place to spend her attention was that the noodles were green and pleasant, without adding any pigments, relying on natural vegetable juice.

"What is this?" asked the old lady with some novelty.

"Jade noodles," Gong Mengshu said with a smile, "I know you have a bad appetite recently, so I specially studied it with Aunt Cai in the kitchen, and let them make it specially today, you can taste it." ”

This jade noodle is really light and refreshing, the old lady has recently eaten most of the bowl because of her age, physical fatigue, and poor appetite, and now she has eaten most of the bowl, Cheng Chazhong is happy in her heart, and she can't help but glance at Gong Mengshu and say, "You can also sit down and eat, and when Ruikai comes back, it will always be a family." ”

When Gong Mengshu heard this, her face turned red, she was still standing, but Cheng Chazhong spoke, and she sat next to the old lady, carefully peeling the crab shell for the old lady. There seemed to be a scorching sight projected on the left side, she raised her eyes slightly, and found that it was Cheng Ruitai, the eldest young master who had not spoken a word, seeing his handsome face that looked a little like Cheng Ruikai, Gong Mengshu's pink face leaned even lower.
