3. A happy dinner

In less than a while, the mother and daughter of the He family came to the big house where they were eating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After Info walked in, Aso carefully observed, only to see a rectangular table in the center of the room, surrounded by a long bench, on which only three people were seated, and a few maidservants were standing next to it.

"Asu, you can get to know the people in your family today." Aru pulled Asu over and whispered in her ear.

At the head of the table sat an old lady in her sixties, with gray hair but a ruddy face, and a kind and kind look that was more amiable, this should be the old lady Li who was her uncle's mother. To the left of the old lady is Mrs. Wang, who is wearing a lotus-colored skirt, Asu has seen it several times during her illness, and today I take a closer look and feel that Mrs. Wang is also born with beautiful eyebrows, and her graceful and generous demeanor is not like a concubine.

The old lady on the right is today's little birthday star, I didn't have much impression when I was sick and saw it in a hurry, but now I saw that it was indeed born like a pink carved jade chisel, and the facial features were even more surprisingly beautiful, and it was really a beauty embryo.

Asu here was still carefully looking at the people in the seat, and the old lady here also saw them and greeted them warmly. "He Erniang's mother and daughter are here, sit down, Aru's side is Asu, she is a painful child, she looks a few years older than our A-Yue, and A-Yue will have someone to accompany her in the future, come, Asu, sit here."

It turned out that this little girl's name was Ah Yue, and she was really a beautiful and dazzling child like the moon, Ah Su thought so, and quickly smiled and took her sister Ah Ru's hand and sat over together.

The old lady looked around the table, looked at the girls and women at the table, and couldn't help asking, "We've all arrived, why haven't the three little Langjun in the family come yet?" ”。

"I heard from Saburo that he and his two brothers went to prepare a special gift. Yo, old lady, look, isn't this coming? Mrs. Wang pointed with her hand, and everyone followed the direction to look over, and sure enough, three tall young men wearing round necks and crotch shirts came head-on.

"Ah Yue, my brothers are late today, but I also brought you a good thing, a special gift." With a loud voice, three young men walked in. The speaker was a young man in his twenties wearing a navy blue shirt, and I saw that he had dark skin, handsome facial features, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, quite like a military general. After a closer look, I found that I was carrying a huge paper bag in my hand, and I immediately felt that this person was funny and cute.

"This is our aunt's youngest son, second cousin Li Xiang," Aru whispered to Asu.

"Erlang, what kind of good thing can be used as a special gift?" Mrs. Wang looked at the big paper bag and asked with a smile.

"Mother, you didn't smell it, this is the signature roast leg of lamb of Zuiyue Xuan on East Street, we are waiting for it to be baked." As he spoke, Li Xiang took out a brown and steaming leg of lamb from the paper bag.

Suddenly, the smell of meat in the house was overflowing, so greedy that Asu swallowed her saliva, she came to the Tang Dynasty and found that there was no stir-fried vegetables here, the food was either steamed or boiled, the taste was very light, this time I saw the roast leg of lamb that she liked to eat before, and her eyes were really hungry. It seems that in addition to steaming and cooking in the Tang Dynasty, there is also barbecue, which is Asu's favorite cooking method, Asu suddenly felt a sense of happiness rise, from a roast leg of mutton, she thought of eating roast chicken, roast duck, grilled fish happy life.

Just as Asu was staring at the leg of mutton and swallowing in fantasy, Aru beside her grabbed her hand, and then whispered with a look in her eyes, "Asu, look, the one in the moon white shirt behind the second cousin is our eldest cousin Li Yizhong, and the youngest in the end is Mrs. Wang's son, Ah Yue's half-brother, San Lang Li Hui." ”

After Ah Ru pulled and muttered like this, he pulled Ah Su out of the fantasy of food, remembered that today's event was to recognize people instead of eating roast lamb legs, and quickly took a closer look at the other two people who entered the room.

Li Yizhong, the eldest cousin who followed closely behind Li Xiang, was tall and strong, with a white face and a slight beard, looking steady and calm; Walking at the end is a young man in a lake blue robe, Asu looked curiously, but seemed to be attracted by the luminous body, this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, heroic, eyebrows and eyes, with a slight smile on his face, as dazzling as the spring sun, is really a beautiful boy, it made Aso a little distracted for a while.

But immediately, Ah Yue's crisp voice immediately pulled Asu back, only to hear her say crisply, "Grandma, hurry up and let Xiaochun divide the leg of mutton, you see, Sister Asu is hungry." The crowd burst into laughter.

It turned out that Asu's little expression when she saw the roast leg of lamb swallowing saliva was looked at by Ah Yue beside her, and the little girl naively thought that this new sister must be hungry, and she was embarrassed to say that she could only swallow saliva if she wanted to eat, so she hurriedly urged the meal to be opened.

Asu hurriedly blushed and whispered, "Actually, I'm not that hungry." Saying this, Ah Yue next to her giggled even more. Asu had no choice but to blush and smirk, thinking that fortunately she was just a little girl now, and it wouldn't be so embarrassing if a child made a fool of himself.

"It seems that today's roast leg of lamb is the best congratulatory gift, which made Xiao Asu hungry and made Xiao Ayue laugh." The old lady touched Ah Yue's head lovingly and smiled.

During the banquet, Asu made a fool of himself because of the previous saliva swallowing incident, so he didn't dare to look at everyone anymore, just buried himself in eating, and because of the barbecue that he hadn't eaten for too long, Asu ate not only very seriously but also with relish, the taste of ancient mutton seemed to be more fragrant, although there were not so many spices, but it was not fat.

"I found that watching Sister Aso eat roast mutton tastes better than eating it myself." Because of the mention of his name, this sentence instantly floated to Asu's ears, Asu immediately raised his head, and found that it was Saburo Li Hui who made himself see God just now who said this, remembering the appearance of his feast just now, Asu quickly lowered his head again, feeling a little depressed, and didn't dare to look at Saburo's handsome face, it seems that he will be just a cute foodie in his eyes in the future.

Li Yizhong, who was sitting next to Li Hui, heard this, looked at Asu who bowed his head, and suddenly changed his calm expression and couldn't help but say, "Yes, watching Sister Asu eat, I also feel that this leg of mutton is more fragrant than usual." ”

Li Xiang, who was gnawing on a leg of mutton, didn't care about speaking, and quickly nodded in agreement. And Ah Yue looked at Ah Su with a smile, and she also followed the relish. He Erniang and A Ru on the side also looked at each other and smiled.

"Erlang sent a leg of mutton, so what did the two elder brothers Da Lang and San Lang send." The old lady didn't forget to ask with a joke.

Li Hui stopped his chopsticks, turned his head and looked at Ah Yue with a gentle expression and said slowly, "My congratulatory gift was given to my sister yesterday, Ah Yue, I still like the colored bead bracelet." ”

"Third Brother Xie, look, I'm wearing it." Ah Yue hurriedly raised her left hand and waved it to everyone.

Li Yizhong unhurriedly patted Li Xiang, who was bowing his head to pick up the rice, "As for mine, hehe, second brother, who did you say paid for this leg of mutton?" ”

Li Xiang looked up and was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "I contribute, and the eldest brother contributes, it can be regarded as a joint congratulatory gift for two people, and Grandma also said that it is the best congratulatory gift." As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of laughter in the audience.

A family banquet ended successfully in a burst of laughter, Asu touched his round belly and followed He Erniang and Aru back to the courtyard with satisfaction, along the way He Erniang and Aru said that they would have to make more food for Asu in the future, otherwise others would think that they would treat this little daughter badly.

Although He Erniang is now a widowed mother and two daughters living in her brother-in-law's house, whether it is Asu's father's house or He Erniang's maiden family, they are all considered local well-off families, and there were one or two male servants and maidservants serving at home before.

"Asu, what do you want to eat in the future, just tell A-Niang, A-Niang is a housekeeper anyway, and it is not a problem to ask the kitchen to open a small stove for you." He Erniang patted Asu's head and said lovingly.

"Auntie, can I go to the kitchen to study, so that I am hungry, and I can also get some food by myself." Aso is thinking, this is about to be troubled times, it's always good to have a little more survival skills, especially the ability to cook, although it is not a problem for her to stir up a home-cooked meal in modern times, but when she arrives here, it is estimated that she will have to learn it again. In addition, the roast leg of lamb really aroused her interest in learning to cook, and she wanted to try to make her own barbecue, so that in case of war, she could also grill fish and chicken in the wilderness.

"You don't know how to cook? It seems that your father should treat you well, and I have been thinking about whether you will have to suffer a lot with your father. Now you have come to your uncle's house, although your aunt has died, but after all, you are your uncle's wife, and your uncle has not remarried since then. Your uncle is still very concerned about our mother and daughter, and has always told Mrs. Wang to treat me like a sister, if I hadn't refused, I would have allocated a maid to your sister like a little lady, so it would be okay if you don't learn the kitchen. He Erniang felt that learning to cook was a bit unproductive, and she didn't agree with Asu's proposal.

"A-Niang, I just want to learn more things, otherwise it's too boring, and I'm very interested in learning to cook, A-Niang, okay." Aso thought to himself, this is not a simple interest, but a skill at a critical moment.

"Well, I will tell the kitchen steward tomorrow, and when I see you going, I will teach you a few simple things, and you can play as you please. If you really want to learn things, you should learn from your sister to learn female red, Aru's female red skills are good, and she has made her own clothes, and many of the purses, sachets, and uppers around A-Niang are embroidered by your sister herself. Have you ever learned this at home? ”

"I know a little bit about this, a little bit." Aso himself has no confidence in what he says.,I don't know if this mending socks is a little bit of basic skills.。

"Asu, it's okay, I'll teach you, let's go, go to my house and take a look, I've recently bought a lot of new embroidery patterns." Speaking of Aru's strengths, she was interested, and pulled Asu to her house.

In order to learn to cook, I also went to learn to learn some female popularity, this is estimated to be useful in the future, such as fighting, clothes are torn, you can sew them yourself. Aso now thinks of everything and how to survive in troubled times, always thinking about preparing for a rainy day, and can't escape this history, so he can only work hard to prepare for his skills.
