The One Hundred and Fifty-Eighth Dinner

The lights are bright, like daylight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info light yarn is ethereal, like a fairyland.

Fang Ning looked around and was surprised that he didn't close his mouth for a long time. Mother Du muttered: "The old slave has been by the old lady's side all these years, and he has also participated in large and small banquets in the capital, and he thinks he is well-informed, but it is the first time he has seen such an exquisite design as in front of him." The jade girl is really as good as her name, with a blue heart and a delicate mind!" The tone was soft and slow, without the slightest hint of arrogance in the daytime.

Lan Xin and Zhen's mother glanced at each other in unison, exchanged a tacit look, pursed their lips and said with a smile: "Mother Du is overrated, and I am also happy because of the arrival of Sister Ning and my mother." I thought about holding an ingenious reception banquet, but I didn't want to be harassed by mosquitoes and flies when we were eating, so I thought of such a way. Mother Du has a unique vision, and Sister Ning is also well-informed, and can enter the eyes of the two, and my hanging heart has finally landed. ”

Mother Du was praised by Lan Xin like this, her heart was ironed, her face was full of smiles, and she said modestly: "But I don't want the girl to say this." It's the turn of the discerning man, how can the old slave dare to compare with Mother Zhen next to the girl?"

Jane's mother smiled and said, "Old sister, don't say that. I'm also a girl, I do what I say. Girl, let's invite the guests to sit down and talk slowly. ”

"That's what Mom said. Lan Xin hugged Fang Ning's arm with a smile, let it to the table as she spoke, and said with a smile, "Come, Sister Ning, let's sit down and talk while eating." Although the weather is warm now, the night is still a little cold. So, I asked people to prepare pots, so that they would get warmer and warmer the more they ate. ”

Du's mother's eyes flashed, and she looked at a pot exuding heat on the round table of the blue tablecloth of Puzi Lake, and in the sweet white porcelain plate next to it, the emerald green lettuce was placed on top of the fat and thin lamb slices cut as thin as paper. In a small frame of different shapes made of bamboo, there are all kinds of fresh green vegetables, and in a large white porcelain bowl there are round balls. The balls were bulging and seemed to be very chewy.

On the small table next to it, there were five or six porcelain bowls with various sauces. This table full of ingredients, neatly placed and properly matched, makes people appetizing and appetizing just by looking at it. Mother Du's mind couldn't help but come alive again: they came to Zhuangzi only temporarily, and the girl's liking for the wisteria trellis was not predictable in advance. Originally, I thought that the jade girl's proposal to catch the wind for the girl under the flower stand was just a whim, in order to please the girl. But now it seems that although it was just a whim, in a short period of time, she had thought everything through. This transparent mind is really admirable!

Lan Xin took the small plate handed over by Dong Xiu, pointed to the bowl with the sauce, and introduced: "This is the sesame sauce made by Zhen's mother, this is the sweet noodle sauce, which is made by Zhuangzi himself." This is a fresh juice bought from an old woman near Zhuangzi, and I like to mix it with sesame sauce and sweet noodle sauce when I eat it in the pot. Would you like to try it, sister?"

Fang Ning heard the novelty, so he asked Xiao Li to mix several sauces together according to what Lan Xin said. Lan Xin, on the other hand, took the spoon and scooped the sauce himself and mixed it together. Pointing to another bowl, he said, "Sister, sprinkle some crushed peanuts on it, it tastes very fragrant." As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of himself, sprinkled it on a plate, and stirred gently.

Fang Ning looked at Lan Xin in surprise, looking at the skillful movements in her hands, it was obviously not the first time she had done such a thing. Lan Xin said with a smile: "When I eat the pot, I like to do it myself, so that the things that come out are delicious." There are no outsiders here today, so why don't you try it?"

Fang Ning smiled, eagerly took the sauce plate in Xiao Li's hand, sandwiched a thin slice of meat with chopsticks, put it in the hot soup, the meat slice rolled a few times, and after it was cooked, it was pinched out, dipped in the sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, nodded and said: "Well, it tastes like this, it feels really good." He instructed Xiao Li, "I can come by myself, and I don't need to serve here." ”

"I also like the way it feels. Lan Xin smiled and said, "In that case, let's do it ourselves and let them go down." Seeing Fang Ning nodding, she smiled and said, "Set up the low table over there and put the pot on it." Mother Du worked hard all the way, and Mother Zhen greeted me well. Xiaoli and Qinghe are also familiar with each other, and with the addition of Dongxiu, let's talk in one place. ”

Mother Du and Xiao Li saw Fang Ning nodding, and they also happily followed Mother Zhen to sit on the low table next to them, Dongxiu brought another pot over, and Qinghe helped arrange the ingredients. At Lan Xin's suggestion, Dongxiu put the sweet white porcelain Yanyu people's wine jug in her hand, and put two small porcelain cups of the same style on the hand.

Lan Xin waved her hand and motioned for her to go down. Holding the wine jug in his hand, he filled the two glasses, one of which was pushed in front of Fang Ning's eyes, and said with a smile: "This is the homemade plum wine on Zhuangzi, sweet and sour, sister try it." ”

Fang Ning picked up the wine glass, took a sip gently, tasted it carefully, and nodded in praise: "Well, I like this taste, use it to eat it with the pot, it's just right." ”

"I knew that Sister Ning would like it. Lan Xin smiled and filled her cup, picked up the cup in front of her, and said with a smile, "Come, sister toast sister for today's gathering." ”

Fang Ning picked up the cup, looked at Lan Xin and said seriously, "I wish my sister peace and well." One sentence made Lan Xin's nose sore, and tears almost came out. She picked up her glass, tilted her head to drink from the glass, and let the tears flow back. For a moment, she remembered the words on her purse, "May my child be safe and happy." "A few beautiful words.

Looking at the pot on the other table, it was also steaming and smoky. He instructed: "Dongxiu, bring another pot as well." Happy today, you can have a few drinks too. ”

"Thank you, girl. Dongxiu happily agreed. Qinghe's eyes were also shining, and he was very excited. After the wine glass was full, Du's mother and Xiaoli understood why they were so excited. Although this wine looks no different from ordinary plum wine, it tastes soft and mellow, with an endless aftertaste.

After eating for a while, gradually the words increased. After chatting, they talked about Old Lady Fang and Old Lady Fang, Lan Xin asked with a smile, "・・・・・・ don't know how the old lady and the old lady are doing recently?"

Fang Ning lowered his wine glass, nodded with a blushing face, and said, "Grandmother's body has always been like that, very tough. After my grandfather came back from Pingzhou, he heard about you and fell ill. ”
