Soon, Qian's mother brought a plate of osmanthus cake, a plate of lotus cake, a plate of red rice cake, and a pot of kumquat juice and placed it on the table in the middle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mrs. Shen tasted a piece of lotus cake, and then said with a smile, "I plan to hold a hundred food banquet in half a month, I wonder if the three young ladies are interested in participating?" ”

A feast of 100 foods? What is this. Ning Jinyun and Ning Jinyao glanced at each other, and both shook their heads, expressing their puzzlement.

Mrs. Shen explained, "The Hundred Foods Banquet is just an ordinary luncheon, but what is not ordinary is that all the dishes at the banquet must be brought by the guests, that is, if anyone wants to participate in this banquet, they must also bring their own food, and these foods must be made by the guests themselves, not bought, nor can they be asked to be made by others." ”

"And this kind of banquet, it's a novelty." Ning Jinyun nodded and praised, "It's the first time I've heard of it, it sounds quite interesting." ”

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly, and continued, "The location of this banquet is set in our Shen family, and I have sent someone to invite the female dependents of some big families in the city to come, and the female dependents of the Zhou family, the Yu family, and the Ling family have already accepted the invitation, saying that they will come, and it will definitely be very lively at that time." I usually stay at home and it's boring, so I want to hold a banquet to be lively, if the three young ladies and Aunt Li are interested, the Shen Mansion definitely welcomes you. ”

Aunt Li was a little happy when she heard that she was also invited, she was always bored in the Ning Mansion and was bored, and she wished she could go out to participate in this feast, but she didn't dare to make her own decisions and easily agreed, and looked at Mrs. Ning.

Mrs. Ning was very willing for her granddaughters to go to the Shen Mansion as guests, and she made the decision for her granddaughters, "Thank you Mrs. Shen for the invitation, they will definitely go then." ”

Aunt Li didn't know if this "they" included her, she just thought that the old lady also agreed to her going, so she looked at Mrs. Shen happily, "Yes, how can we not go to Mrs. Shen's banquet, we must go, we must go." ”

Ning Jinyun felt that it was also very good to go to this banquet, she could take this opportunity to get to know more people, which could be regarded as a long experience, and she heard that the young ladies of the Zhou and Ling families were also outstanding, and it happened that they were all going to the Shen Mansion for a banquet, so she could also meet them by the way.

……

Half a month later, it was the day when Mrs. Shen held a banquet.

The time to go to the banquet was before noon, and Ning Jinyun got up before dawn and began to prepare the dishes to be brought when he went to the Shen Mansion.

Mrs. Shen said that it is good to bring only one dish per person, and you don't have to bring too much, so as not to eat it all and it will be a waste.

Ning Jinyun thought about it, the dish she could complete with her own hands and the best thing was the phoenix tail siu mai, so let's make a phoenix tail siu mai.

She came to the small kitchen, Qingyun helped her on the side, she kneaded the dough and made the dough herself, and then began to make the filling.

Chop the eggs, vegetables, and pork into fine pieces, mix them together, and then put some condiments appropriately, and the filling is complete.

Ning Jinyun spread the dough in the palm of his left hand, pulled up the edge of the skin with his right hand, pinched it tightly from the outside to the inside, made it into the shape of a green vegetable, and then put the meat filling in the opening, and put 1 shrimp in the middle, which made a phoenix tail siu mai.

After she has done all the siu mai, she took a steamer and spread a layer of grass, brushed with a little peanut oil, put it in the siu mai, put it on the pot and steam it for a quarter of an hour, when it is about eight years old, sprinkle a little water with a bamboo broom, and continue to steam for a short time, until the skin is transparent, and the bottom of the siu mai feels that the meat filling has been hard.

After a busy morning, Ning Jinyun finally finished this phoenix tail siu mai, the skin of the siu mai is transparent, and the red, yellow, white and green fillings reflect each other, the shape and color are beautiful, and the taste is delicious. She took out some and gave them to Aunt Wen, and the rest was put into a bamboo lunch box, ready to take to Ning Mansion.

Ning Jinyun simply freshened up and changed her clothes, after all, she went to the banquet today as the second lady of the Ning family, her dress and every move represented the Ning family, she had to clean up well, not too ordinary, and not too conspicuous and ostentatious.

She wore a silk embroidered pleated skirt, and wore a cloud fei makeup satin brocade on her upper body, the style of the dress fit perfectly, lining her slender waist, she pulled a green silk into a casual cloud bun, and wore a white jade peacock hairpin and a plum blossom pattern hairpin on the bun, and a pair of red agate pendants on the earlobes, which looked particularly delicate.

After dressing up, she took pictures repeatedly in front of the bronze mirror, and asked Qingyun again, "How do I look today?" ”

Qingyun grinned, "It's good-looking, it's not right, it's not just good-looking, it's just beautiful, Miss, you will definitely overwhelm the crowd in the past, and make the other young ladies overshadow." ”

"What is glamorous, as long as I don't embarrass the Ning family." Ning Jinyun shook his head at Qing Yun helplessly, and then said, "Okay, it's almost time, let's go." ”

Old Madam Ning had already hired two carriages for the few of them, one was for the Li family and Ning Jinhua, and the other was for Ning Jinyun and Ning Jinyao, and when Ning Jinyun arrived outside the door, Ning Jinyao had already arrived.

Ning Jinyao raised her hand happily and raised the cloth bag in her hand, "Second sister, this is the glutinous rice cold cake that my mother taught me, and I can also cook by myself." ”

"Okay, okay, I know, our Yao'er is the best." Ning Jinyun smiled and scratched her cousin's nose and quipped.

After a while, Aunt Li's mother and daughter also arrived, so the two carriages set off for the Shen Mansion.

After arriving at the Shen Mansion, Ning Jinyun was shocked by the grandeur of the Shen Mansion as soon as she got out of the carriage, although she couldn't see it completely, but just by looking at the outside, she could see that the Shen Mansion was two or three times larger than the Ning Mansion, and the decoration outside the door of the Shen Mansion was very atmospheric and rich, and it was by no means comparable to ordinary rich and noble families.

When the little maid at the door saw a few of them coming, he recognized them and said respectfully, "It turned out to be the ladies and aunts of the Ning family, please go inside, the Xiangyang Garden on our house will be set up for the food banquet, and there will be a maid to guide you after you enter." ”

Aunt Li glanced at the little girl arrogantly, and then walked in with Ning Jinhua in stride, she held her chest and raised her head, looking very noble, people who didn't know would not guess that she was just an aunt when they saw her like this, maybe they would think she was a famous lady.

Ning Jinyun smiled lightly and nodded at the little girl, and then walked in with Ning Jinyao.

Under the guidance of a little maid, they walked for a while to reach Xiangyang Garden, I have to say that the Shen Mansion is too big, no wonder they will walk for so long. (To be continued.) )
