Zheng Wanru heard Uncle He relay Shen Huairen's words, and immediately instructed Sister-in-law Li to prepare.

"Qiduo, are you taking your aunt as an outsider again, come to my house for dinner, how did you buy a lot of vegetables, you always don't listen, it's true." But she criticized Qiduo's grocery shopping.

Qiduo replied with a smile, "Auntie, what about me, you actually treat me as an outsider." Didn't you say you wanted me to make this my home? ”

"Silly girl, how could I treat you as an outsider, this is also your home." Zheng Wanru rubbed Qiduo's hair dotingly.

"Auntie, what do you think, since this is my home, isn't it natural for me to buy vegetables as a guest at home?" Seven pursed lips.

Zheng Wanru was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "You kid, you have wrapped me in." ”

"Hehe, aunt, as you said, we are not outsiders, don't be so polite in the future, okay." Qiduo hugged Zheng Wanru's arm and was coquettish.

She knew that Zheng Wan felt sorry for her and spent the money.

Zheng Wanru is so good to herself, no matter how much money she spends, she can't repay her kindness.

Sister-in-law Li also laughed on the side, "Madam, the seventh girl is right, you are just like a mother, don't say any more kind words, otherwise it will be raw." ”

Zheng Wanru was slightly damp in her eyes, stroked Qiduo's little face, and smiled gently, "Qiduo, it's my aunt who lost her words, and in the future, none of us are allowed to say those kind words, okay." ”

"Okay, that's a deal. Come on, pull hook. On a whim, Qiduo stretched out his little thumb to hook up with Zheng Wanru.

Maybe it's because of the young age of this body, Qiduo finds that sometimes her childish movements are uncontrollable. It's a natural thing to come from.

Zheng Wanru smiled even more cheerfully. Extend your little finger. hooked up with Qiduo, and said with a smile, "Pull hook hanging, a hundred years, no change." ”

Sister-in-law Li looked at this scene and narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Alas, if Madame had been a daughter like the Seventh Girl, she would have been much more lively on weekdays. How nice that would be.

After such a fuss, Zheng Wanru was also interested, she rolled up her sleeves and said that she would prepare dinner with Qiduo.

Sister-in-law Li even claimed that 'it cannot be done'.

"What's wrong with this, I'm happy today, Sister-in-law Li, don't spoil my interest, otherwise, I won't spare you." Zheng Wanru's sleeves were rolled up so high, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and waved at Sister-in-law Li. Said with a tiger face.

"Good, good. I won't say anything. Madame, put the knife down, it looks scary. Sister-in-law Li waved her hand helplessly.

"Poof." Zheng Wanru and Qiduo couldn't hold back at the same time and laughed happily.

Qiduo was a little surprised in her heart, she usually saw her aunt gentle and virtuous, daring to love and hate, but she didn't expect that she still had such a naughty and cute side.

With Zheng Wanru, she is very relaxed, and she doesn't have to scruple about anything.

Qiduo and Zheng Wanru discussed the dishes to be made, and then they were busy with their own work, and Sister-in-law Li was responsible for washing vegetables, selecting vegetables, lighting the fire, and doing some hands-on things.

Originally, I wanted to call Erxia to come over to help, but Zheng Wanru and Sister-in-law Li both said no, they were busy, they knew that the Qiduo family was very busy at the moment, and one person in the family couldn't wait to use two people.

Qiduo went home first, went to get river clams, bean sprouts and lotus roots, and said a few words to Xu by the way.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw two little fat dogs lying on the ground rolling and frolicking, and a hen taking a leisurely walk, which was very warm.

Xu and Erxia are taking the three of Wang's aunts and sisters-in-law to wash lotus roots.

Qiduo found Xu Xiaozhi's figure, and she was also busy.

There are only three hours for each lotus root to be dug up, and it is over at this time.

"Little cousin, you're tired all day, go back and rest, you don't have to do this." Qiduo stepped forward to persuade.

Zhao Xiaozhi turned her head to look at Qiduo, smiled astringently and shook her head, "The seventh niece is back, what is tired of this little thing, there is nothing to do, there is nothing to do." ”

As she spoke, her work was not affected at all, and the mud in a section of the lotus root was washed away in the blink of an eye.

Xu looked up at Qiduo, smiled and shook his head.

Qiduo called Xu back to the house and told her about selling lotus roots.

Xu Shi praised with red eyes, and said that if it wasn't for Shen Huairen's help, this thing would have been possible.

Then Qiduo talked about dinner at night, and asked Xu Shi and Erxia to prepare a few lotus roots, which they would use at night.

Xu nodded yes, saying that if people helped, they should express their gratitude.

After talking to Xu, Qiduo carried the vegetables needed in a basket, hurried to Zheng Wanru's house, and began to work.

The sky was almost completely dark, and there was a knock on the door of the Shen family, and Sister-in-law Li hurriedly ran to open the door.

Shen Huairen took Lord Huang to come first, followed by a woman with a dignified temperament, and the most popular were Gu County Ling and Tan Dejin.

"Madame, come and see who is coming?" Shen Huairen shouted loudly in the direction of the upper room.

Zheng Wanru heard the voice in the kitchen, and walked out of the kitchen with a smile, and Qiduo also followed.

"Mrs. Huang, rare guest, please come to the house, by the way, why didn't Sister Rong come?" Zheng Wan shouted to the woman with a smile.

"Rong'er went to her grandfather's house and hasn't come back yet, Mrs. Shen, who are you?" Mrs. Huang looked at Zheng Wanru with her sleeves rolled up, her hands still stained with oil, and asked very incomprehensibly.

"Hehe, I heard that Lord Huang and you are coming over at night, I'll follow Qiduo and do a little favor." Zheng Wanru responded with a smile and looked back at Qiduo, "Qiduo, come and see Mrs. Huang." ”

Qiduo walked out from behind her, smiling and saluting everyone.

Mrs. Huang looked Qiduo up and down slightly, and asked Zheng Wanru with a smile, "Who is this girl?" ”

"It's my niece Qiduo." Zheng Wanru replied.

"Madam, don't look at the young age of the seventh girl, but she is not ordinarily smart, I have a lot of knowledge. I just heard Lord Shen say that the seven girls are good at cooking, so I have the cheekiness to bother here, and by the way, I will call you and let you come to feast your mouth. Lord Huang warmly praised Mrs. Huang with seven flowers.

Seeing that her husband praised Qiduo, Mrs. Huang didn't dare to despise her, the smile deepened in her eyes, and she said to her gently. "Good boy. We gluttonous. It's tired of you, and even your aunt is tired, hehe. ”

Everyone laughed when he said it.

It also shortened the distance between each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Mrs. Huang said seriously, you and adults can come to eat the food I cooked, that is to give a lot of face, I am too late to be happy, how can I say that I am tired.

And yes. My aunt is very hospitable, and I often hear my aunt mention Mrs. You, saying that Mrs. You are very good, and I look forward to you coming often, and my aunt can cook today, which means that she is happy and will not be tired. Qiduo said with a smile, and then looked up at Zheng Wanru, "Auntie, isn't it?" ”

"Yes. Yes, I'm tired. When you say that, I'm embarrassed to call me tired, hehe. "Zheng Wan is happy.

Shen Huairen followed behind and laughed.

Laughter flew in the courtyard.

Shen Huairen took everyone to the flower hall to rest, and first drank tea and chatted.

Zheng Wanru instructed Sister-in-law Li to make tea and serve snacks, and she quickly cleaned her hands and went to accompany Mrs. Huang.

Seven began to cook.

Tan Dejin went to call Patriarch Tan and Old Man Tan, which was ordered by Shen Huairen.

He thought that Lord Huang admired Qiduo very much, and Patriarch Tan had enough authority in Tanjiazhuang, and when the time came, Patriarch Tan would go out of his mouth to publicize and publicize it, consolidate the status of the Qiduo family in Tanjiazhuang, and make people dare not bully.

And Old Man Tan is Qiduo's grandfather, although the family is separated, but the elders should be respected.

For filial piety, Shen Huairen attaches great importance to it.

If it weren't for filial piety, he wouldn't have married a concubine back then, just because it was his mother's destiny.

But because of this incident, he has always felt guilty about Zheng Wanru, although his heart has never loved Huangmei for half a minute, but because of this incident, Zheng Wanru has suffered a lot of grievances, and he hopes to use the second half of his life to make up for Zheng Wanru.

Originally, he didn't want Gu County Ling to come over for dinner, and he really disdained to share the table with people like Gu County Ling, but for the sake of Qiduo, he had to call Gu County Order.

The emperor is far away, and the ancient county order is the parent official of Tonglin County, and he is in charge of all matters, and the Qiduo family is good friends with him, and there will be no mistake.

The aroma of vegetables quickly wafted out of the kitchen, and Shen Huairen asked everyone to sit down first and prepare to eat.

Old Man Tan and Patriarch Tan were both very excited, a little like they were dreaming, they had lived for a long time, and it was the first time they had sat down to eat with such a big official.

Of course, to have this opportunity, it still depends on the relationship of Qiduo.

No one in Tanjiazhuang knows, only Qiduo often eats and plays at the Shen family.

After Old Man Tan was excited, he was proud of his son and granddaughter.

On the dishes one by one, steamed saury, Dongpo meat, boiled river shrimp, squirrel osmanthus fish, rouge lotus, stir-fried lotus root slices, sauerkraut fish, boiled fish, cold mung bean sprouts, chopped pepper fish head, vinegared fish fillet, dry pot fish offal, pork ribs and lotus root soup......

There are meat and vegetarian, spicy and light, salty and sweet, everyone can take what they need

The table was quickly filled, and looking at the dishes on the table, Mrs. Huang asked in disbelief, "These are all made by the seven girls?" ”

She only knew the name of Qiduo, but she didn't know the surname, so she called the seven girls.

"yes." Zheng Wanru smiled, and then greeted, "Don't sit still, eat it while it's hot, it's not good if it's cold." ”

Mrs. Huang looked at Lord Huang and smiled, "Master, the dishes on this table of the Seventh Girl are specially made for you, look, there are many fish." ”

Shen Huairen explained with a smile, "The seventh girl has a heart, she asked me what Lord Huang likes to eat before, and I told her." ”

Seeing that all of his favorite dishes were his favorites, Lord Huang was full of joy.

This meal, everyone nodded and praised, saying that it was a hundred times better than the restaurant.

Especially the saury, after Lord Huang and Shen Huairen finished eating, they were very surprised and asked Qiduo, "Girl, this saury should be a variety in the waters of the Gejiang River, but it costs dozens of taels of silver a catty." ”

Yes!

Everyone present was shocked, this little fish is so valuable, this is not eating fish, it is eating silver.

Especially Old Man Tan and Patriarch Tan, who have never eaten such expensive dishes.

"No, there aren't many saury fish, and the fish from Gejiang can't come to us?" Lord Huang looked at Qiduo very puzzled.

Qiduo smiled and replied to Lord Huang, "Lord Huang, you misunderstood, this is our knifefish here." As long as the cooking method is done properly, the taste is not inferior to that of Gejiang's saury. ”

Lord Huang gave a thumbs up to Qiduo again.

In the years of being an official in the capital, I have never eaten any kind of delicacies, but this time I was still impressed by Qiduo's cooking skills.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled, with the help of abilities and spiritual spring water, the taste of the dish would naturally increase by a few notches.

Everyone eats happily and eats happily, and she is even happier.

After the meal, when Lord Huang and Gu Xian Ling left, they all had an extra basket of lotus root on their carriage.

Qiduo also had the heart to have a friendship with Gu County Lingduo, and quietly sent a silver ticket.

But the ancient county commander didn't dare to accept it, only accepted the lotus root, and said that if there were any difficulties in the future, even if he went to him, you were welcome.

With Shen Huairen's support and Lord Huang's appreciation, where did Gu County Ling dare to collect cash tickets, he was worried that just after putting the silver ticket into his arms, the black yarn on Ming'er's head would be lost.

Qiduo helped Sister-in-law Li clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then talked to Zheng Wanru and his wife for a while before leaving the Shen family.

After returning home, she unexpectedly found that Patriarch Tan and Old Man Tan were both at her house. (To be continued......)
