Volume 1 Chapter 25 When the plan is in progress
Mrs. Ge is the youngest daughter of the family, she has only turned ten years old this year, and she is the youngest guest here.
Fang Qi has seen her several times in the past, all of them came to the Xiangdi with Ge's mother to go to the banquet, but the Ge family is not comparable to the Peng family, although they have dealings with the Xiangdi, they do not intend to climb the flames, such exchanges are just etiquette, non-Xiangdi banquet guests are invited Ge family will not come to the door, but often banquet guests, Mrs. Wang just let Fang Qi show her face in front of a few guests, such as the Ge family, Mrs. Wang actually does not think so, and the Ge family has no concubine, Ge's mother will not always be in the middle of the concubine as the daughter-in-law, Fang Qi has the opportunity to appear.
Therefore, Fang Qi and Ge Xiaoniang only had a few faces, and they didn't even talk to each other.
Although the relationship between the two families is different now, and they are about to become in-laws, which is also the fundamental reason why Ge's mother allowed her daughter to go to the banquet today, but it is still quite presumptuous if Fang Qi takes the initiative to invite, so she has to use Xu Mingjiao's name to tactfully change it.
Speaking of which, there is also a difference of several years between Xu Mingjiao and Ge Lanhui, one jumps out and the other is demure, it seems that they are completely two types of people, but Xu Mingjiao is actually as moving as a rabbit and quiet as a virgin, and she likes poetry, which is similar to Glenhui's hobbies, and because Glenhui is younger than the talent of poetry, even Xu Mingjiao is ashamed of herself, so age is no longer a generation gap between the two little ladies.
All people take refuge in the summer and enjoy the coolness, in the rich and noble family, both men and women, young and old, actually love to gather in Zhang Luoya after the Dragon Boat Festival, or invite colleagues, or make an appointment with a confidant, or in their own garden, or rent a garden and a secluded garden, even the official family, in fact, will also set up a banquet in the big house, and talk about drinking with the officials of the courtiers to cool off.
Xu Mingjiao invited, Ge Lanhui was moved, Ge's mother asked if it was Xiangdi Sanniang, and thought that Erniang would also go along, and felt that it was not a bad thing for sisters-in-law to take this opportunity to get close to some and cultivate feelings, so they readily agreed, so they were all happy.
Of course, Xu Mingjiao was reminded by Fang Qi, although she didn't mention that it meant Fang Qi, but she didn't hide that her mother would invite Ge Lanhui to the banquet, and Xu's mother knew that her cousin was disgusted with Fang Qi, and even her aunt disliked Fang Qi more and more, so she told her daughter that she had to inform Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter about it.
Mrs. Wang actually persuaded Qin Fangzi to go to Fengshengyuan today.
But Qin Fangzi refused: "Erlang has already exchanged Geng posts with Er, and he will definitely not go to Qin Fangqi's banquet, why is there any need for Erlang to follow, haven't I been to Fengshengyuan yet?" And the most annoying thing is Xu Mingjiao, but the wife and the aunt are not allowed to provoke her, isn't it boring for me to go. ”
"But today Little Lady Ge was dragged by Ah Jiao, she will be your sister-in-law in the future, how close you should be to her."
"That stuffy gourd is annoying to look at, who wants to be close to her, mother, sister-in-law can be raised in the boudoir for a few years, and sooner or later she will get married, so why should she show favor to her? Besides, if Xu Mingjiao squeezed me in front of her today, and I couldn't talk back, wouldn't it be shameless? I won't go, if she was a smart person, she should understand, I don't look down on Xu Mingjiao and Qin Fangqi, I am her future sister-in-law, and her elbow can't be turned out. ”
Mrs. Wang thought about it, Ge's mother was dying, and her daughter really didn't need to please her sister-in-law, so she was no longer reluctant.
The thoughts of the mother and daughter were all expected in Fang.
Don't look at Qin Fangzi's deep love for Ge Erlang, she is not so fraternous as Aiwu and Wu, Fang Qi has been beside Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter for many years, from Qin Fangzi's eyes, you can see this little lady Ge is light, and even because I heard Li Dalang occasionally mention it, Ge Erlang begged him to give up a volume of manuscripts in his hand, because the author of the manuscript was a person revered by his sister, Fang Qi actually found that Qin Fangzi had a raging jealousy in his eyes.
Qin Fangzi was spoiled by her mother-in-law, and she was completely domineering in the world.
But in her grandmother's mind, Xu Mingjiao's weight is better than Qin Fangzi's.
In the small circle headed by Xiang Di, among the ladies, it can be said that Qin Fangzi is above 10,000 people under one person, but Qin Fangzi can't surpass Xu Mingjiao, so she can only obediently avoid her edge.
Mrs. Wang is very obedient to Qin Fangzi, and she will not force her daughter to do anything, since Qin Fangzi refuses to come, she will definitely not come.
If she doesn't come, it will be cheaper to do so.
But today's Fang period is the host, and the post said that you want your relatives and friends to taste the delicious, it is inevitable to cook in person, the responsibility of entertaining guests can only be entrusted to Xu Mingjiao at first - if it is only their own relatives, men and women have fun together is no problem, but today after all, a lot of handkerchiefs were invited, the little lady and Fang period are close, it does not mean that the children of the Xiangdi Lang Jun and Xu and Li families are not outside, so the male and female guests are scored into two groups, Lang Jun's group is inbreeding Fang period does not need to worry, but the ladies have their own group.
Not to mention that Ge Xiaoniang is not familiar with anyone except Xu Mingjiao, she is Li Yuanfan's sisters, and she is proud that everyone is not very interested in the daughters of the Xiangdi party bureaucracy, but Xu Mingjiao is not only good with Fang Qi's group of people, but also can talk to the daughters of the Li family, and it is no longer suitable for her to greet her.
During the fragrant season, you can prepare food with peace of mind.
The main dishes of the town table, of course, are the two dishes at the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, originally Yayu was rare and did not have such a big face to ask from the old lady to add glory to his banquet, but who let the Xu family brothers and sisters have a few guests today? The old lady was never stingy with her nephews and grandchildren, and she didn't need to open her mouth, so she took the initiative to order that she must make this Jin Ming chopping to add fragrance to the banquet.
In addition to these two main dishes, Fang Qi was inspired by a certain food map provided to her by the system, and this time she also happened to try, she asked the maids to prepare sharpened bamboo skewers two days earlier, and then asked the helper's servants to wear the prepared ingredients with bamboo skewers, including shelled shrimp, thin slices of ham, deboned eel slices, cut heart tubes and other meat dishes, as well as mushrooms, bean skin, quail eggs, loofahs and other vegetarian dishes.
Last night, Fang Qi had already borrowed Mrs. Wen's private kitchen in Xiangdi to boil a pot of white braised soup with pork bones and fresh chicken, as well as licorice, bay leaves, cinnamon and other more than ten kinds of spices.
Then take a large porcelain basin, add salt, sugar, chili oil, minced Sichuan pepper, scallion oil, garlic juice, pour into the pork bone soup to reconcile, soak the ingredients in the skewers, drip into the sesame oil, sprinkle with fried white sesame seeds, and add green onion and coriander to decorate.
Let it cool.
Look at the shape of the dish, it is a little similar to the food picture in my mind that day, of course, I also tried the taste, I am not too satisfied, I always feel that there is still a lack of shortcomings, but this dish is full of David I am afraid that no one has ever seen it, especially those guests who have not even had the opportunity to see the chili pepper, enough for them to eat a fresh and interesting.
Then I will deal with the fish.
There can't be only these three dishes on the banquet table, but of course Fang Ji won't take care of everything, so I'm afraid she will have to die of exhaustion in the kitchen today, how can she have the energy to entertain guests and carry out more important plans to sow discord?
Such amusements are usually equipped with cooks, and the rest of the dishes are left to them.
Sure enough, these three dishes attracted the praise of the guests, especially the dish made after the picture, which attracted Qin Yuan to come to the flower pavilion where the ladies had a banquet and asked what it was called.
According to the naming habit of the Fang period, this dish may have to be called "red oil pickled mixed vegetables", she is very knowledgeable and does not spoil the scenery, and expresses the wish that the guests will replace the name.
The little ladies argued for a while, and in the end, it was the youngest Gu Lanhui who won the right to be selected, and she named the dish "Yunxia Baiduan", while on the side of Lang Jun, it was Xu Mingxi's naming that won unanimous praise - Luyun Danyi.
Aromatic evaluation: very elegant.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but go online: Dear, I think you want to imitate the cold pot skewers.
Fangqi: I understand that.
After some eating and drinking spicy, the next indispensable item of the elegant collection is to order tea, a tea soup can solve the meat fish, and then it is indeed an elegant thing, and the more important thing is that Fengshengyuan is close to Longjing Spring, and it is fashionable to take the spring water here to cook tea. Lang Jun not only wants to taste tea, but also can't discuss poetry, and the little ladies are just chatting about it.
After drinking tea, the daughters will be more free to move, some fishing, some throwing pots, some playing, and some still going to the amusement garden.
As the host, Fang Qi should naturally care about the little guests who seem to be particularly out of place.
"I heard that the sister of the Ge family loves to be quiet, especially like poetry, I specially borrowed this anthology from my Weng Weng's study, Weng Weng said that it is a compilation of poems by many famous artists since the founding of the country, it just so happens that there is a natural cave in this Fengsheng Garden, and there is a cool pavilion at the entrance of the cave, where it is quiet and cool, Sister Ge might as well come with me, and go there to read a book for a while to pass the time."
This proposal was exactly what Glenhui wanted.
She traveled today, there are naturally servants and maids around her, of course the nanny is not worried that the little lady is alone, must not leave an inch, and there is a maid green case, also followed to the cool pavilion, the fang period does not stay here for long, she also has to take care of the rest of the guests, so I instructed August, Layue here to wait for the dispatch, in case Ge Xiaoniang needs from time to time.
Not long after, Fang Ji confessed that he sent a large box of salted preserved fruits in March, plus a plate of candied fruit.
Ge Xiaoniang reads books, she is annoyed and disturbed, the nanny and the green case dare not stay away, they each taste the candied fruit to pass the time, August and the month are even more difficult to make noise, pointing to the flower pavilion slightly far away, signaling them to chat there, if you want to have something, go over and shout.
Qing case is young, greedy, can't eat the candied fruit, it didn't take long for me to feel thirsty, only then did I find that there was no cold water here, and I whispered to the nanny, and went to Huaxie to find August and Layue.
After all, they are guests, and they don't know where to prepare the cold water, so this kind of thing has to bother the master's family.
There was a row of flower barriers erected outside the flower pavilion, and before the green case turned the flower barrier, he heard a sigh.
It was Layue who sighed, but she could lie behind the flower barrier and peep for a long time just now, and it was easy to see the Qing case coming here, and the time was calculated accurately, and the next words were naturally said to the Qing case.
