Chapter 43: Opposition

As for the dinner table, why there is no county magistrate He Xueli from Wuxi County, it is not that the three brothers and sisters of the Shen family are not hospitable, but that the county magistrate He Xueli himself politely refused. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He said that there were still urgent official business waiting for him to handle in the yamen, and he would come back to bother him next time when he had time.

The county magistrates all said so, and the three brothers and sisters of the Shen family naturally did not dislike it and kept it more.

However, although they did not keep the county order to eat, the three brothers and sisters of the Shen family still achieved good manners.

The two brothers, Shen Leshan and Shen Lechi, personally sent the county magistrate He Xueli to the entrance of Shenjia Village, and after seeing him leave with the four catchers, they turned around and went to the dinner table.

At this time, several new dishes in Shen Danyao's kitchen were also served one by one.

On the dining table, there are neatly served home-cooked side dishes.

There are four cold dishes, cold salad with scallion oil lettuce, panlong cucumber, cold salad purslane, and cold salad with kelp shreds.

There are six hot dishes, namely shredded pork with green pepper, scrambled eggs with garlic, braised chicken with rice wine, stewed lamb chops with carrots, spicy small grouper, and mapo tofu.

Two soups, shrimp ball soup, and pork rib soup with shepherd's cabbage.

Plus a snack, pumpkin pie.

Don't look at the home-cooked dishes on this table, it doesn't look special.

But it's not easy to make such a table.

Because the ingredients are only those fruits and vegetables in her space, chicken, duck, fish, and other meat dishes, there are no ingredients at all.

This is in order to be able to entertain Han Mochi, the eldest son of Han, as well as the newly released second uncle and aunt.

Shen Danyao asked her second brother Shen Lechi to run to the village head, Li Zheng and Wang Erni, and bought a lot of ingredients from them, so that they could make up enough dishes for this table.

But these dishes, which are finally made with enough ingredients, do not seem to be as popular as the vegetables unearthed in her space.

Look at Han Mochi, and then look at the girl in red and the boy in black, all the chopsticks that make the three of them move the most are vegetables.

Lettuce, cucumber, purslane three plates were welcomed at the beginning, three plates, almost nothing remained.

Then there are green peppers, garlic, carrots, and shepherd's cabbage, which are picked out and eaten.

Finally, there are two spicy small groupers with chili peppers and mapo tofu.

No one moved the chopsticks at first for these two plates, until Shen Danyao opened his mouth to introduce the special features of these two dishes and invited them to taste them, so they moved the chopsticks.

After they tasted the first bite of the chopsticks, the chopsticks immediately moved diligently, and in the end, the two dishes were swept away.

And the food was so clean, Shen Danyao was not only given a thumbs up by the three of them, but also received countless praises.

Even the newly baked, silent and expressionless second uncle also praised Shen Danyao twice.

"Dan Yao's craftsmanship is good. This meal has a unique taste and is very much to my liking. ”

Even the second brother praised it, which shows how amazing Dan Yao's cooking skills are. In the future, my aunt and my second uncle will have a good mouth. ”

As soon as the girl in red said this, it made Shen Danyao frown.

She had doubts about this confession.

The reason why he recognized them without saying anything was just because of the expectation and joy in the eyes of the eldest brother.

So, her decision to recognize them at the time was simple.

That is, since the eldest brother has confirmed and recognized their identities, she doesn't want to complicate things because of suspicion, lest the eldest brother be happy and worry about it.

So she thought, admit it, admit it.

Anyway, it's just like relatives walking around, and it's not under the same roof, so it's okay to visit the door occasionally.

But now, after hearing the words of the girl in red, Shen Danyao felt that their plan seemed to be different from what she expected.

Listening to what she meant, it was clear that she wanted to live with them, and not just to live for a few days temporarily, but to have a long-term plan.

This is not good, who knows what their purpose is, what if they hurt their two brothers?

She didn't approve of them living with them.

Thinking about it, Shen Danyao opened her mouth with a smile.

"Auntie, you are actually exaggerating, Dan Yao's craftsmanship is like that. I still feel quite fresh when I taste it occasionally, but after eating it for a long time, it is average, and I can't talk about anything that is not good for the mouth. However, if the aunt and the second uncle don't dislike it in the future, they can come to the door from time to time, and Dan Yao will definitely cook some home-cooked food for the aunt and the second uncle to taste and taste. ”

Shen Danyao was not happy with the so-called second uncle and the so-called aunt living under the same roof with them.

The meaning of her words was obvious enough.

Even Shen Lechi, who has always had simple ideas, heard something abnormal.

He turned his head sideways and looked at Shen Danyao with some puzzlement, a big question mark flashing in his eyes.

"Little sister, don't you like your aunt and second uncle?"

I really don't like it.

The answer in Shen Danyao's heart is indeed this.

However, she still denied it with a smile on her face.

"Second brother, why do you say that, I like my aunt and second uncle very much. Otherwise, how could I have prepared such a table of food for them? ”

"But Dan Yao, how do I feel the same as Le Chi, you don't seem to welcome me to live with your second uncle, right?"

The girl in red was still smiling at this time, but her eyes were gradually narrowing.

Shen Leshan watched from the side and hurriedly interjected.

"Auntie, you misunderstood. How could the little sister not like the aunt and the second uncle. She must have felt that now was not the time. Look at our house, how can there be a house in this thatched house for my aunt and second uncle to live in. When my sister said this, she just thought that the place where we lived was really embarrassed to let my aunt live with my second uncle. ”

And Shen Leshan obviously thought a little more, but his thoughts were still different from Shen Danyao's thoughts.

"When our new house is built, wouldn't it be better to keep my aunt and second uncle to live at that time?"

"Oh? It turns out that Dan Yao girl thinks so. Does the little girl think that my second uncle and I can only share weal and sorrow? Leshan, tell your aunt honestly, do you think the same way? ”

The girl in red looked directly at Shen Leshan, and there was a whirlpool in her eyes.

"No, auntie, you really misunderstood, I never had such an idea. Also, Xiaomei definitely doesn't think like this. She must just want to do her part, and she is not too embarrassed to entertain her aunt and second uncle to live in a thatched house with us. ”

Shen Leshan defended Shen Danyao, and then looked towards Shen Danyao, expecting her approval.

"Little sister, you think the same thing as your eldest brother, right?"

The smile in Shen Danyao's eyes faded, and she felt a faint pain in her temples at this time.
