Chapter 45: Chat
In the warm pavilion, all the girls gathered together to drink tea and chat, gossiping, but they didn't see the windswept appearance of Evian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info First, everyone and Lan Xin are also acquaintances, this is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rong family, and she will be the head of the Rong family in the future, who doesn't want to take advantage of the present to have a good fate?
But some people can't see it anymore, Rong Zhu squinted at Evian who didn't raise his head and didn't open his eyes, his little face sank down with a "click", his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were round, and he was about to speak.
"Sister Zhu, come to my sister's side, seeing that you are crowded in the middle, Sister Lan Xin and Sister Jun can't speak. Rong Zhen said with a smile before Rong Zhu spoke. At the same time, he handed a warning look: Don't speak, don't say anything!
Rong Zhu stiffened her neck and refused: I said what's wrong? I just looked over, and as soon as she entered the door, I didn't like her.
Rong Zhen handed over a sinister look: Don't forget how your mother explained this morning.
Rong Zhu was suddenly like a punctured balloon, completely deflated. She will not forget her mother's instructions to the two sisters this morning: let the two of them organize today's banquet, especially to entertain a few people from the Zhou family.
Rong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sister Zhu had stopped, if she didn't do a good job of what her mother had explained, her mother would never forgive herself. Glancing at Jian Ran, Jian Lan led the little maids to remove the dim sum plate on the small table and re-serve the refreshments. In this way, the empty snack plate in front of Evian will not be abrupt.
Citrus is shipped by sea, Jiangzhou is near the sea, and some ship merchants often bring back some for sale. Although Xuzhou is adjacent to Jiangzhou, it is not something that you can buy if you want to. What's more, it's the New Year's Festival, and things like citrus are in high demand and extremely expensive.
Jian Lan glanced at Rong Zhen, Rong Zhen glanced at the plates on each small table, and nodded towards Jian Lan. The master and servant have been in contact for many years, and they naturally have a very tacit understanding. Jian Ran led the people to fill the fruit bowl on the small table.
Lan Xin smiled lightly and whispered to Rong Jun, and occasionally said a few words to others, neither rude nor arrogant, peeling oranges in his hands, and suddenly unaware of everything around him.
Rong Jun looked at Lan Xin's hand peeling oranges as he spoke. Lan Xin's hands are very good-looking, green and jade fingers, delicate and slender, after peeling off the orange peel, gently remove the white clothes on the orange petals, the movements are gentle and serious, which is pleasing to the eye.
For some reason, Rong Jun suddenly felt a little envious of Lan Xin. There is some melancholy in the envy, and I can't tell where this inexplicable emotion comes from.
Lan Xin handed the freshly peeled orange to Rong Zhu's eyes, and the white and tender fingers held the yellow, orange and orange oranges, like a beautiful work of art.
"Sister Lan Xin?" Rong Zhu, who was still angry, looked at the orange in front of him and looked at Lan Xin in surprise. Looking at the gentle smile on Lan Xin's face, Rong Zhu reached out and took the orange and said sweetly, "Thank you, sister." Obviously a plain smile, Rong Zhu felt that all the unhappiness disappeared.
Seeing that Rong Zhu was no longer awkward, Rong Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise this coaxing could not be coaxed, and the scolding could not be scolded, it was really uncomfortable to hold it in her heart. There was a little more sincerity in his smile, and he said angrily: "Sister Lan Xin, you are too used to her." Yesterday, my mother took out a plate of oranges, and my eldest brother and I only ate one, and the rest went into her stomach. ”
Lan Xin picked up the handkerchief, wiped her fingers carefully, and replied with a smile: "Our Sister Zhu is so cute, anyone will let her." Right?" gently nodded Sister Zhu'er's delicate little nose.
"Uh-huh. Sister Zhu had oranges in her mouth, nodded with a bulging mouth, and said vaguely: "Sister Lan Xin loves me the most." As he spoke, he pouted and grimaced at Rong Zhen.
Where would Rong Zhen care about her? smiled and greeted Lan Xin: "Sister Lan Xin, try this red bean cake, remember the last time my sister came, she praised it for being delicious." ”
Lan Xin picked up a piece of red bean cake from the plate, put it in his mouth, took a small bite gently, nodded with satisfaction, and exclaimed: "Well, it's delicious! It seems that the dim sum chef's cooking skills are superb again." ”
"Sister Lan Xin, you can try this horseshoe cake again. Looking at Lan Xin's dim sum and drinking tea from the cup, Sister Zhu recommended.
Lan Xin didn't reach out to take it, holding the teacup and saying half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Our dim sum chef's cooking skills are so exquisite, and I think the skills of other masters are also better." Aunt Rong has always been generous, and I want to come to today's luncheon very rich. "In other words, I don't eat now, and I'm going to eat lunch with my stomach saved. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Evian was no longer competing with the dim sum plate in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Sister Lan Xin said this, I remembered it, as if as soon as I entered the door today, I smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen. Miss Chen followed Lan Xin's words and said jokingly. Miss Chen's appearance is five points similar to Mrs. Chen, but unlike Mrs. Chen, Miss Chen is reluctant to speak and will not speak easily. As soon as he opened his mouth, he made everyone laugh.
"Oh, Sister Chen, your nose is so smart! I secretly went to the kitchen to ask, and my mother in the kitchen told me that there were honey chicken wings at noon today!" Rong Zhu looked like I only told you, and I didn't tell the others.
"Oh, I don't know if there is a shredded yam? After I ate it last time, I have been thinking about it in my heart, and I will let my cook cook it when I go back to the house, but I can't do it well. One of the girls quipped.
"Yes, of course there is! When my mother and Mother Wu discussed the recipe, I was next to me. The mother also instructed the kitchen to burn the fried shrimp balls that Sister Lan Xin liked, the fish-flavored eggplant cakes that Sister Lin liked, and the ······" Rong Zhen said a lot in one breath, and everyone was overjoyed. Whoever is valued will be happy.
Everyone started chatting about food again. Rong Jun was also smiling and chatting with the people around her, but Lan always felt that she was a little absent-minded.
"Sister Yuxue, Sister Evian, what do you all like to eat? Next time you come, I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you. Rong Zhen didn't know why she sat next to them and chatted with them cordially.
Yuxue was a little restrained, but politely said that she likes to eat any dish and is not a picky eater. Evian is the boss unceremoniously stretched out his hand to count, what sauce stewed elbows, what salt-baked chicken, what steamed meat······ Along the way, there are many, many names of dishes.
"Steamed meat, I haven't done it in the house. However, I made stewed elbows with sauce, and my eldest brother and sister Zhu didn't like it, but I liked this dish. Rong Zhen said with a smile, looking like she had found a confidant, "I like to eat the outermost layer of skin on the elbow, it tastes early, and it melts in the mouth, which is particularly delicious." The two of them chatted with relish.
