041: Guest

―― Thank you Miao He for your two Christmas stockings~ Have you eaten apples?――

She didn't think that these little cold dishes and small pastries were some kind of unique craftsmanship, and so on, she didn't know how many were in her head...... As a veteran foodie, she was once described as a mobile library, and it was full of ...... Menu.

For such an insignificant little bit, she can gain the friendliness of so many people, and more importantly, she has a taste every day, she doesn't know how much she thinks it's worthwhile!

Her ideal life is indispensable to eat happily!

Day after day, Jiang Ying's relationship with the kitchen girls in the kitchen is getting better and better.

So much so that several times when the Yu family wanted to attack her, they were resolved by the cooks without a trace.

However, even so, Yu's enthusiasm for hating Jiang Ying was undiminished.

On this day, the kitchen of the Han family, which was approaching noon, was as busy as usual.

And one of the green figures seemed a little relaxed, although they were also working, but they didn't see her in the slightest hurry.

Jiang Ying was in front of her own board, tossing something.

At hand are a few dishes that have been prepared, and the meat and vegetables are well matched, all of which are full of color and aroma.

However, at this moment, she rolled up her sleeves and was concentrating on the meat filling in her hand.

She kneaded each mass of meat filling very carefully, until the meat filling was rubbed and elastic, and then put the meat filling into a vessel containing the drained glutinous rice, and rolled it evenly until the outer circumference of the meat filling was stained with glutinous rice, and then picked it out and formed it into a circle with her hands.

After making more than ten of them, I took the steamer, spread the thick slices of cut carrots on the bottom of the steamer, and then put the finished meatballs on top of the carrot slices.

Once the water in the steamer is boiling, place the steamer on it.

Yesterday, Aunt Wu told her that there was a respected guest in the house today, and the Han Mansion sent someone to inquire about the preferences of the guests in advance, saying that the favorite food is meatballs, and specially explained the kitchen to make a few fine things.

There are fried noodle meatballs, and there is also fish ball soup, so Jiang Ying was assigned the task of steaming meatballs.

Adhering to the expectation of not disappointing Aunt Wu, Jiang Ying came over early this morning and started to prepare early.

It was noon, and in the dining room of the Han Mansion, there was sometimes elegant laughter.

"Mr. Kong's presence here really makes the humble house shine brightly-" Han Xu, the head of the family, said with a sincere face, looking at the Confucian man with half a hundred hairs on the opposite side, with reverence in his eyes.

In today's world, there are only one or two people who can make the head of the family of the Great Scholar clan so respected.

After Kong Fu became a Confucian saint, although he did not hold power like the Han family, he was a protégé all over the world, and his status and fame were unparalleled, and he was an out-and-out Confucian today. Even if the emperor sees it, he must bow respectfully and humbly.

In this world of declining imperial power, the common people simply praise Confucianism to the sky, and this phenomenon among the scholars is even more than that.

Although the Han family has a profound heritage, it has always been overpowered by the Jin family in Kyoto, and Han Xu has dreamed about how to further improve the prestige and reputation of the Han family.

A few days ago, when he learned that Kong Fu had traveled here, how could Han Xu let go of this great opportunity, and went to visit him in person more than once, imploring Kong Fu to be a guest, claiming that he would do his best to entertain Mr.

If Kong Fuken comes, even if he doesn't say anything, he will come to his Han family like this, and it will be an incomparable honor to spread it!

In the end, Mr. Kong was finally moved by Han Xu's perseverance, in other words: he was annoyed.

But the reason is not important, and the process has nothing to do with it, the important thing is that Mr. Kong is here.

Han Xu no longer had his usual majesty, and his originally stern face smiled like a blooming flower.

"I wonder how long Mr. Kong plans to stay in Suzhou on this trip?" Han Xu's younger brother Han Rong asked with a smile.

As far as the eye could see, there were men in all rooms at the dinner table, and there was no female dependent, and Han Chengji also made a rare appearance.

"Suzhou is a good place." Kong Fu stroked his beard, and praised with a smile: "It's all because Han Thorn Shi has been properly governed, and the people of Suzhou are so blessed—"

He came all the way from Liancheng, and most of the places he passed through were poor people, but Suzhou, but everywhere lived and worked in peace and contentment, like a paradise.

Kong Fu knew very well in his heart how precious it was for Suzhou to maintain the stability and prosperity of the past under the restless overall situation.

Needless to say, this is all the credit of the Han family.

"Sir, praise falsely!" Han Xu replied modestly, but in fact, he was already overjoyed.

What could be more precious than receiving praise from Mr. Kong!

The masters and young masters of the rest of the rooms also took this opportunity to talk with Kong Fu. Several young teenagers were even excited to be able to say a word to Mr. Kong.

Naturally, this excitement can only be suppressed in their hearts, and they dare not vent it on their faces.

The children of the scholar clan have been admonished in every way since they were young to grow up. The family motto of each family looks like it can't be read for three days and three nights, and the most important thing is that no matter what the occasion, you can't lose your manners.

Just when everyone was excited to be able to share the table with Mr. Kong, Han Chengji, who was sitting at the head of the teenagers, did not speak from beginning to end.

Ah Lu felt a little sorry for his master, but because he knew Han Chengji's temperament, he also understood that there was only regret in front of him......

Seeing that the time had come, Han Xu motioned to the steward to pass the food.

After a while, maids dressed in uniform blue and red armor rushed in and presented the dishes to the table in order.

Han Xu naturally beckoned Kong Fu to move his chopsticks first.

Kong Fu smiled and nodded, and when he looked down, he saw a plate of 'unknown objects' in front of him, all of which were round strips wrapped in reed leaves.

Kong Fu picked one into the bowl and used chopsticks to remove the reed leaves, and he saw that it was a long strip of glutinous rice.

Seeing this, Kong Fu smiled and shook his head in his heart - what is it, it turned out to be a rice dumpling with a different shape.

However, when I took a bite, I was surprised to find that there was a fat and thin pork rib wrapped in the glutinous rice.

The pork ribs are burned to the core, and the flavor of the condiments is extremely thorough, and after eating it in one bite, there is only one bone left.

The meat is fragrant in the mouth, and the aftertaste is endless.

Confer smiled and said yes.

Han Xu was so happy that he beckoned Kong Fu to try other dishes.

Kong Fer tasted a few small dishes near him, and was amazed that each dish was not only full of color and flavor, but also all of them that he had never tasted!

He has traveled around to teach, he has been to countless places, and he has eaten a lot of flavors from all over the world, cough cough, Mr. Kong does not think that this is his greed, after all, Mr. Kong believes that in order to understand the customs of a place, the most important thing is to understand the eating habits of local residents.
