Chapter 113: On the Way to Beijing (2)
"If it's not hunting, how did you get here?" Jiang Fang asked subconsciously, making everyone laugh.
"Silly girl." Jiang Yiwen supported his forehead.
"As we passed through the forest in front of us, we happened to meet a father and son who had just come out of the mountains. The deer and these pheasants and hares were mostly bought from them. We didn't fight much on our own. Liu Huairan explained.
"The pheasant meat is not good when it is roasted, and a few of them are covered in mud and buried under it. The rest is sent to the master to stew and drink. The master said that you have your favorite red stewed pig's trotters to eat today. You eat a few bites of these, so that you don't have enough delicious things in your stomach by then. Jiang Jianwen pointed to the bottom of the fire and reminded Xia Jiang that this kind of thing had not happened.
"Wow, there's still red stewed pig's trotters today. I see, I won't eat too much. Jiang Fang nodded nonchalantly, drooling while roasting rabbit meat. It made several people laugh non-stop. Eggplant blushed for his own lady when he watched it, but unfortunately the main owner didn't have any shy consciousness.
In fact, you can't blame Jiang Fang for being greedy, the chef who followed them all the way into the capital is the master of the master of the Yuanlou of the Zhou Kingdom. That old man's cooking skills are probably not even the same as the imperial chef in the palace. Coupled with the fact that there is a spiritual spring water "cheat" that outsiders don't know, can the things he cook be bad!
Anyway, this old man was invited back by Mumao Villa. Usually, in addition to teaching apprentices, he rarely cooks. This time, he will follow them, and he cooks frequently, but it is all the face of the old man.
To say that Liu Fuguan is not a person who is willing to treat himself badly, his own words, it is not easy for him to live to this age, and he doesn't know how long he can live in the future? He has always enjoyed it since he was a child, and if he was "thrifty" when he was old, it would be better to take his life directly.
Therefore, when he was not cultivating, he was extremely luxurious. Use only the best for everything. Let's just talk about this trip, his carriage is one of An Ruyi's only three.
Although An Ruyi and the two men of the Liu family sneered at the old man's words that he "don't know how long he will live in the future", they were not stupid enough to refute him.
Anyway, Mumao Villa has money, and it is really not a problem to provide for an old man, no matter how extravagant he is, he can't be poor. Even without the supply of Mumao Villa, the old man's own gold, silver, jewelry, and antique treasures could not fit in the largest storage bag. Can he spend less on his own? Anyway, no one is short of money, and the old man can do whatever he likes, who is impatient and nosy.
Liu Huairan was cutting bamboo, and Jiang Jianwen was a step slower because he first handed over the rabbit meat that had been skewered in his hands to Jiang Jian to roast. Jiang Yiwen and Zhang Kang were already on their own fires, brushing seasoning powder and honey and starting to barbecue.
A few people quickly grilled several skewers of rabbit meat and venison, and sent someone to deliver it to the elders. The next ones started to eat on their own.
Jiang Fang tasted a few bites of his roasted meat, although he felt that it tasted good, but he didn't dare to eat more, so he threw it directly to the eggplant. I went over again and cut a piece of venison and roasted it. While eating and playing, in the middle of laughter, soon someone came over to invite them to eat, and it happened that the flower chicken buried under the fire was almost good, so Liu Huairan and a few people took the flower chicken out and left first, leaving only the people who were waiting for the aftermath.
In fact, for them, the interest of barbecue is far greater than eating. Most of the meat is roasted, and they don't eat much of it themselves. Especially if Jiang Fang takes a few bites at most, most of the others will go into the stomachs of the people who are close to her, such as eggplant. After all, the food cooked by the chef is not a big pot of rice, and it is only served to the masters, and not everyone can eat it.
A group of people, up and down, added up to at least 100 people. Naturally, the meals of the people below are prepared by the mother-in-law who is specially responsible for cooking.
Although it is outside, because there are female dependents, the place where the food is eaten is also tightly surrounded by a cloth curtain. Because it is inconvenient to go out, the rules of eating are not so careful, and everyone is not divided into men and women, and they just eat together at the same table.
The meal has been arranged, and sure enough, there is Jiangbian's favorite braised pork trotters. Sit down in the order of the eldest and youngest, Old Man Liu first moved the chopsticks, and then asked people to put the braised pig's trotters in front of Jiang Fang, she smiled happily and thanked happily.
"Grandfather, you spoil her too much. She's been getting more and more wild lately, and there's still a bit of the dignified appearance of everyone's ladies. Liu Rong looked at Jiang Fang with a grin, and then looked at Zhang Kang, and suddenly began to worry about whether he would dislike his daughter for being too "wild" - along the way, his daughter followed them a lot, and even rode horses and hunted together.
"Don't worry too much, if the girl is not spoiled, are you still shouting and scolding? I'm good when I look at the flaws, what's the use of girls blindly being dignified, don't teach my good great-granddaughter to be stupid, according to me, it's better to be lively. Liu Fuguan noticed that his granddaughter's eyes stayed on the kid of the Zhang family for a while, and couldn't help touching his chin and secretly said, shouldn't this be someone else's favorite? This kid looks okay.
I have to say the truth about Old Man Liu.
"That's it, Rong Niang, don't be too flawed." Jiang Zijie also glanced at Zhang Kang quietly, just now the lady mentioned it to herself, and she originally looked at that kid pleasing to the eye, but now the more she looks at it, the more he feels that he seems to be a little weaker, how to look at the small appearance of the deputy who has no power to restrain the chicken, how to look discordant, several of his fathers and brothers are five big and three thick, how did this kid change here?
Hearing that he was discussing himself, Jiang Fang was gnawing on the pig's feet while pouting and looking at his mother, so wronged! But when the elders speak, they are talking about themselves, and it is definitely inappropriate for them to intervene again.
Being looked at so aggrievedly by Jiang Fang, how could Liu Rong not feel it. She still feels wronged. So he glanced at his grandfather and husband angrily.
"I just said that you will protect her one by one, if she gets married and is disliked by her husband's family in the future, what will you do?"
"Who dares? I don't have that much to talk to if I want to bully my great-granddaughter Liu Weiguan. Liu Fuguan almost didn't slap the table. Glancing at Zhang Kang, he saw that the kid was still calm and completely out of the matter-hmm, didn't he know yet? He looked puzzled.
Zhang Kang was inexplicably looked at, and thought that there was something wrong with him, so he couldn't help but secretly glance at himself several times uncomfortably, and he didn't even eat in an instant.
