Chapter 48: Eating and Drinking (I)

Because there is a rule that men and women do not have different seats, a screen is placed in the flower hall to separate the women's table from the men's table.

Brother Xi can't eat or drink because of his young age. He was originally a shy and timid person, and Shen Miaolan was afraid that he would not eat well. So he asked the old lady to leave him on the table of the ladies and take care of it himself.

Except for their own nurses, few people treat themselves so gently. Shen Xi was very grateful in his heart. I secretly made up my mind that I must study hard and protect my sister when I grow up.

How did Shen Miaolan know that the mood of a child is nothing more than because she had a boyfriend with an inferiority complex in her previous life. Knowing that once a boy has low self-esteem, it will cause a lot of trouble to himself and others. This society has created a group of people like concubines, and there are many injustices to them. Within the scope of her ability, she is willing to use her own strength to provide some help to this child. At the very least, let him grow up healthy inside.

Chunlan is greedy for cups, but it is inevitable to be restrained when following the old lady. Mingyu and the others naturally couldn't let go in front of their elders. The old lady naturally knew that after the excitement, the girls were allowed to go to the group by themselves to eat something else.

Because it's already spring, the weather outside is excellent. Shen Miaolan suggested that everyone might as well go to the courtyard and set up a stove to sit around and barbecue meat together.

He Mingyu is in Jiangnan, and he has never eaten this northern specialty, so he is very interested in it. Yilan sent someone to fetch the stove, and then went to the kitchen to move the seasoned meat and vegetables to the lake pavilion in the courtyard.

Second, grandma Li is about to give birth, and she can't take her sisters-in-law with her. The responsibility of taking care of this leader fell on the biggest Shen Chunlan. The old lady was very uneasy about Shen Chunlan, so she said to Bai Shao and Bai Zhi, who were waiting on the side, "I don't need you to serve here, these days are also hard, go and be lively with the girls." ”

Bai Peony and Bai Zhi are girls with heads and faces in front of the old lady, and they also get along very well with several girls in Su Ri. The old lady said this to give them face. But in fact, it's just a few girls who don't worry, and ask the two of them to take care of them.

As the heavy man walked out, Guerlain fell behind. After saying a few words to the personal maid, I saw the little girl nodding and hurriedly going.

Shen Yilan looked back and saw that she was wary of her. Then he smiled and asked, "What is the third sister doing mysteriously?"

Shen Jiaolan rolled up her sleeves and took a few steps forward to keep up with the team. "Although the weather is good, it is a little cold at night. I was afraid of the cold since I was a child, and I was afraid of the wind and cold, so I sent someone back to fetch a cloak. ”

"After a while, the stove will be set up, and it will be hot. You're too squeamish, too. Shen Chunlan has never been accustomed to Guerlain, and she wants to ridicule her when she seizes the opportunity.

Guerlain was not annoyed, only pursed her lips and smiled without replying. He Mingyu looked at it coldly, and he had some thoughts about Shen Jiaolan in his heart. After getting along with a few cousins on this day, she found that everyone didn't seem to like the third cousin very much. If a person is disliked by someone, it can be considered that person's problem, but if everyone hates her, then there is something wrong with herself. Thinking about what happened in Miaoxian Pavilion in the afternoon, He Mingyu didn't have a good impression of Shen Jiaolan. She was born with the most hatred of others using herself to make a fuss, and this Shen Jiaolan can be regarded as a taboo against her.

When everyone arrived at the pavilion to enjoy the lake, someone had already set up the stove and lit a fire, and the octagonal palace lamps hanging from the four corners of the pavilion were also lit.

Chunlan sat down with her sisters, "It's rare for my aunt to come back with my cousin, and our sisters are lively and lively together." Let's have a great time eating today. ”

Shen Miaolan knew her temper best, and couldn't help but tease, "Sister, I'm afraid I'm going to have a good time." ”

Shen Chunlan didn't quibble, "That's right, I sent someone to get some Tusu wine and fruit wine." Let's either get drunk today and not go home. ”

He Minglan is also a temperamental person, and seeing Chunlan so cheerful, she is willing to be close to her. So he said, "My father loves wine tasting the most, and there are many good wines in the family." If my second cousin has the opportunity to visit our house, I will definitely invite you to have a drink. ”

When Shen Chunlan heard this, she came to her senses. "Does my uncle also like to taste wine?"

He Minglan nodded, "I often heard my father say that this wine should be made from rootless water or spring water to be delicious. ”

"That's right. Shen Chunlan said, "Today's fruit wine is made from snow water. The fifth sister didn't drink well and couldn't eat rice wine, so I asked someone to go and get fruit wine. Cousins can also be often. ”

"I just ate crabs, and I'm afraid that I don't feel comfortable eating fruit wine. Tell someone to boil a pot of wine soaked in acacia flowers. "The crab is cold, and Yilan is afraid that the sisters will eat it and then eat wine and hurt their bodies. So he proposed.

Shen Chunlan also nodded, "Let's bring a few more wines, and everyone can eat whatever they like." ”

As the sisters spoke, the meat was almost roasted, and the smell of meat wafted out. He Mingyu only felt that the smell was good and fresh, and couldn't help but glance in the direction of the stove. The lark took a small blue and white porcelain plate, sandwiched a piece of roasted meat and put it in it, sprinkled some salt and chili powder, and handed it to He Minglan. "Cousin girl, taste it, this meat has just been roasted, the heat is just right, and it is more delicious than the steamed and boiled ones. ”

Mingyu took it, thanked him, and took a bite. I couldn't help but praise, "It's really delicious, I've never eaten it before." ”

The wine was also taken at this moment, and Chunlan personally took the begonia banana leaf frozen stone cup and poured a cup of Tusu wine for He Minglan. "My sister tastes even better with a sip of wine. ”

He Mingyu saw that the cup looked good, and hurriedly took a sip. The aroma of the wine ripples between the lips and teeth, giving the original meat a little more fragrant. It's really delicious.

So he asked, "How do you make this barbecue?" My sister also taught me, and I will make some in the kitchen at home when I go back." ”

When it comes to eating, the most energetic is Shen Miaolan. Miaolan carefully explained the part of the meat to be taken from the cow, how to soak it in cooking wine to feed the taste, and put it on the stove to roast a little bit and so on.

Chunlan was enthusiastic, and talked about how to eat the acacia wine, Tusu wine and fruit wine with barbecue.

He Minglan listened carefully, and envied the little sisters in front of her. Although the weaving house is also rich and glorious, if it is compared to the trivial enjoyment of life, it really can't be compared. Just talking about this glass of wine, Chunlan and Miaolan took out three or four sets, all of which she had never seen before.

Guerlain was quiet on the side for a long time, and when she saw He Mingyu's envious face, she suddenly interjected and asked, "Cousin's hometown, but there is no such way to eat?"

"Of course not, it's the first time I've eaten like this. Interesting. He Mingyu didn't think much about it and replied quickly.

Shen Jiaolan said, "That's the case, it's rare to be lively today." Why don't you call the eldest brother, the second brother and the cousin to come and eat with us. ”
