Chapter 50: Soup Dumplings
Everyone was about to start, and Wu Zhaoyan, who had not spoken much, suddenly became active. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 He shouted at Shen Rihui opposite, "Big brother, eat quickly, eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will be cold and lose the taste." ”
Shen Rihui was flattered, smiled and returned the salute, but the next second he showed embarrassment.
Chopsticks, spoons, two sections of cleaned reed rods, which kind of tableware is used to eat soup dumplings?
He tried his best to keep his composure, his eyes quietly glancing to the side.
"Daddy, mother, sister." Wu Zhaoyan not only said this, but also stood up directly, "Don't be busy eating, let's listen to Zhaoyan talk about the interesting things I encountered in Bianjing Mansion today, it's really interesting." ”
Seeing that he was talking enthusiastically, the three members of the Wu family stopped their movements and looked at him together.
"Big brother, don't stop, just eat." He shouted at Shen Rihui again, and then said with great interest, "Today, the eldest young master and the second young master of the Zhou family have made trouble in Bianjing Mansion for a gold leaf bowl that is not in good condition!" The eldest young master Zhou Zhong accused the second young master Zhou Xiao of being obsessed with money, adding iridium to the gold minting to make a profit secretly. Zhou Xiao shouted loudly, saying that there was no problem with him casting gold, it was all framed by Zhou Zhong, and the gold nuggets given to him by Zhou Zhong, who was alchemist, were not pure. The two of them didn't give in to each other, and they quarreled so much that Lord Yin Zhao of the Mansion was alarmed - Oh, big brother, don't just listen and don't move, just eat, just eat! ”
Wu Zhaoyan saw that Shen Rihui did not move, and hurriedly greeted him.
Shen Rihui stiffened, picked up the chopsticks, and went to the soup dumplings.
"And what happened?" Liu Qiuchang was very interested, and asked repeatedly, "Jin Mantang is a century-old shop, and even the imperial court now uses his family's gold ornaments, how to gain a foothold in the future if such an ugly thing happens?" ”
Wu Zhaoyan caught a glimpse of Shen Rihui's movements, held back a smile, and said, "Lord Zhao doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the young master of the Zhou family in the capital, that is the person who only the Heavenly Family dares to fall, who dares to judge?" Zhao Dadao, the old lady of the Zhou family went to Jianghuai to visit relatives and did not return, it is not easy to determine who is who in this matter, it is better to seal the gold leaf bowl first, and then judge when Master Zhou comes back. The two young masters of the Zhou family were not convinced, and they had to fight for right and wrong. At this time, Zhou Zhongze's wife, Jiang, came and said that it was the little wife (note: the nickname for the concubine) Wu Shi Niang suddenly had fetal gas and was about to give birth. The brothers then gave up and rushed back to Zhou's house. ”
Liu Qiuchang obviously knew the affairs of the Zhou family very well, and as soon as she heard Wu Zhaoyan say it, she understood the reason. She sighed, "One mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, these two children are one in a hundred outstanding, clever, and capable, now one is alchemizing gold in Jinmantang, and the other is casting gold in Jinmantang, all of them are good hands, it is inevitable to compete with each other and form a knot." It's just that I actually went to the government office today, and I don't know the general situation. You must know that the brother's internal injuries hurt Jin Mantang's reputation. ”
Wu Dingru said, "I heard that Zhou Lian'an went to Jianghuai this time to pick up Zhou Anze, the concubine who has been raised in his aunt's house, but it is difficult for Mrs. Zhou to let go of her heart knot for many years and recognize this geisha's child." ”
Liu Qiuchang said with a smile, "It's good now, the two tigers of the Zhou family have become three tigers, I don't know if they will live in peace from now on, or even more so in peace." ”
Several people laughed and talked about the Zhou family's family affairs, but Shen Yueran, who was silent on the side, saw the clues.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
This Wu Zhaoyan had no one in his seat before, but after that, he greeted Shen Rihui several times, I am afraid that he wanted to see Shen Rihui, who had never eaten soup dumplings, make a fool of himself.
Seeing that the chopsticks in Shen Rihui's hand were caught in the bun, Shen Yueran coughed silently.
Even though Shen Rihui was clever, he immediately looked at Shen Yueran when he heard the sound.
Shen Yueran winked at him, then picked up a reed and inserted it into the top of the soup dumpling to suck the soup.
Ordinary buns are generally one pound of meat into three taels of broth, but soup dumplings are one pound of meat into one pound of two taels of broth, so when eating soup dumplings, the soup ranks first, the meat filling is second, and the dough is last.
If you don't pay attention to it, pick one up, stuff it into your mouth, and chew it with the belt filling and juice, which is also a way to eat.
But now the problem is exquisite.
If you are exquisite, you have to follow people's etiquette - open the window first, then drink the soup, and then fill the mouth.
Shen Rihui hesitated for a moment, followed Shen Yueran's example, picked up the reed and sucked the soup.
After sucking, Shen Yueran put down the reed, took out a small spoon, opened the top, dug out a piece of meat filling, and tasted it slowly.
Then, pick up the chopsticks, gently pick up the leftovers, put them in your mouth, and chew slowly.
Shen Rihui has a good example, and a bun can easily enter his stomach.
At this point, the conversation over there continued.
"Zhaoyan, what if Lord Yin of the Mansion asks you to inspect the gold leaf bowl?" Wu Zhaorong, who heard the doorway, couldn't help but worry when he thought of his younger brother being in the position of correction.
Wu Zhaoyan saw Shen Rihui eating a bun in an orderly manner, and his face suddenly changed.
"It's as it should be." He replied angrily and sat down.
"This kid, why is he so rude to his sister?" Liu Qiuchang reprimanded.
"Out of the way, out of the way." Wu Zhaorong smiled, unimpressed.
Shen Yueran was secretly speechless.
Wu Zhaorong, who has always been calculating and can't afford to lose a little, seems humble, tolerant and polite in front of this Wu Zhaoyan.
A few people stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
At the end of the meal, Wu Dingru and Liu Qiuchang walked out together, and Wu Zhaorong followed behind Liu Qiuchang. Shen Rihui just wanted to raise his heels, but Wu Zhaorong turned around and glanced at him.
Shen Rihui shrunk his neck, turned around and made a "please" gesture at Wu Zhaoyan behind him.
Wu Zhaoyan's eyes turned upward, covering his nose and walking past Shen Rihui.
******
There are two ways to speak.
After the Shen family brothers and sisters and Wu Zhaorong returned to the inn, Shen Yueran called Wu Zhaorong out alone under the pretext of returning a long skirt.
Wu Zhaorong seemed preoccupied and absent-minded.
"What's the matter?" She asked impatiently.
Shen Yueran looked a little unspeakable.
"That-sister-in-law, has you ever looked closely at the feet of the eldest brother?" She thought about it for a moment and asked anyway.
She has learned Shen Rihui's foot odor, and Wu Zhaoyan's nose covering action just now is probably also aimed at Shen Rihui's foot odor. Wu Zhaorong and Shen Rihui have been together day and night for eight years, and I am afraid that they have already developed a sense of numbness to this smell. But outsiders are different, especially Wu Zhaoyan, who has no one in his eyes and has no good impression of Shen Rihui, he feels even more unbearable.
How to make Wu Zhaoyan have a good impression of Shen Rihui, she is afraid that she will not be able to do anything, and it will not be her turn to do anything. It's not enough to have smelly feet and cure athlete's foot, but it's within her ability.
Wu Zhaorong was surprised and glared, "What did the dead girl say?" What do I see your big brother's feet doing? ”
Shen Yueran pursed her lips and smiled, "Yue'er just wants to know if there are blisters, red spots, erosions, or oozing on the eldest brother's feet, in addition to asking my sister-in-law, is it difficult to ask Shen Chong?" ”
