After they were talking for a while, Rong Xiang had already eaten all the plates of dim sum on the small table, and said with a bulging belly: "Sister's dim sum here is really delicious, I still want to eat it." ”

Ling Ruo pinched the bridge of his straight nose dotingly and said, "If you like it, when you leave later, my sister will let the kitchen make more for you to take." It's just that you can't eat it anymore, otherwise how to use lunch if you hold up your stomach, my sister Zhilu said that you want to come, but I specially let the kitchen prepare your favorite colorful beef tenderloin and Babao wild duck, which are very delicious. ”

"Really?" Hearing these two dishes, Rongxiang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he swallowed his saliva into his stomach, he is now the time to grow his body, he has an excellent appetite and loves to eat meat, but the family is not rich and can only eat once in a while, sometimes he is really greedy and Yang Ronglu secretly went to the mountains to hunt some game, and it is also a loss to Ronglu Although he learned the Four Books and Five Classics, but he was also born in Manchurian and learned the art of riding and archery since he was a child, and he could hit a wild duck or pheasant every now and then, and brought it back for Fucha to cook and eat, which can be regarded as improving the food, It's just that now that Rong Lu is out of Jiangxi, Rong Xiang is small, Ling Zhu is afraid that he will have an accident if he goes up the mountain alone, so he resolutely does not let him go out without permission, but Rong Xiang is greedy.

"Sister, don't worry, he has a big belly, and I'll make sure he eats more than anyone else later." Yilan hugged Ling Ruo's arm affectionately and said. Since she came in, she has been sticking to Ling Ruo's side, stroking the soft and smooth brocade on her body from time to time, her eyes are full of envy, the things that her sister is wearing now are so delicate and beautiful, how good it would be if she could be like her sister.

Ling Ruowan smiled and stroked Yilan's delicate cheeks and was about to speak, when someone pushed the door in, but it was Shui Xiu, only to see her bow and say respectfully: "The master's lunch has been prepared, do you want to eat now?" ”

Since the beginning of autumn, the weather is getting cooler, in order to fear that the dishes will lose their flavor when they are cooled, the kitchen will cover each dish with a silver cover to protect its temperature, and only cover it when it is to eat, so it is called a meal.

Ling Ruowei nodded and smiled at Ling Zhu and Fucha Clan: "After talking for so long, Ama and Eniang should also be hungry, why don't we go to dinner first?" ”

"It's fine." As soon as Ling Zhu agreed, Rong Xiang jumped up and clapped his hands and cheered, "Okay, there are beef and wild ducks to eat." ”

Looking at his greedy appearance, Ling Ruo felt both funny and sad, but the dignified court officials didn't even dare to eat ordinary things such as beef and wild ducks every day, and they were afraid that no one would believe them.

"Let's go, my sister will take you there." She took Yilan with one hand and Rong Xiang's slightly rough little hand with the other, and walked towards the side hall with Ling Zhu and his wife.

Xiaoluzi and Shui Yue have already waited in the side hall, the huge round table is full of plates covered with silver lids, and after they sit down one by one, the two of them began to eat, one opens the lid and one reports the name of the dish, and the dishes are 12 items: mushroom duck palm, colorful beef tenderloin, bergamot gold roll, fried cuttlefish shreds, straw mushroom broccoli, mountain delicacies spiny dragon buds, lotus pod tofu, milk fish fillet, anchovy shark fin, red plum pearl incense, kung bao hare, hydrangea dried scallops; Tang Yipin: Longjing Zhusun; Two kinds of dumplings: minced meat baked cakes, dragon whisker noodles.

For today's lunch, Ling Ruo went to the kitchen a few days ago to explain that she personally ordered every dish, and specially sealed a red envelope for the cook, so as to make it perfect.

Every dish on the table is full of color and flavor, Rong Xiang and Yilan looked straight at it, they have never seen so many dishes in one meal when they are so big, just when they thought that the dishes were all ready, the two of them brought in a red lacquer tray from outside, and there was a freshly roasted whole suckling pig on it, golden in color, fragrant, and still steaming.

Seeing the roast suckling pig, Ling Ruoliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, she had ordered this dish, but the kitchen said that the suckling pig had received very little recently, and she was afraid that it would not be available except for the portions.

Ling Ruo didn't know those two people, but he knew that the person who came in after them was Sanfu beside Chang Fujin, and after he came in, he said to Ling Ruo: "The slave asks Ling Fujin for peace, Ling Fujin is auspicious." The master knew that Ling Fujin's family came over today, so he ordered the small one to send the roast suckling pig supplied to Han Yuanju over, and invited Master Ling and Mrs. Ling to enjoy it. ”

Before Ling Ruo could excuse herself, Sanfu had already said with a smile: "The master said that Ling Fujin's family is equivalent to her family, and it is appropriate to do her best, she should have come over in person, but she had a headache and illness in recent days, and she couldn't move, so she could only send a slave over, please Ling Fujin don't refuse." Speaking of this, he said pitifully: "The master has spoken, if the slave cannot complete this errand, then the slave does not have to go back to the errand." ”

This was a joke, but Nala's intentions made Ling Ruo's heart warm slightly, and he said gratefully: "Then I might as well be respectful, please thank Xie Lu and Chang Fujin for me, and change Ming'er to greet her again." ”

"The minion made a note of it." Sanfu agreed and said: "There is one more thing that the master asked the slave to ask Ling Fujin, the house invited the outside troupe to sing in the Qingyin Pavilion three days later, it is said that the best play in this troupe is Mu Guiying in charge, I wonder if Ling Fujin is interested in listening?" ”

"Naturally, I'm interested, and I'll definitely come over then." Ling Ruo agreed with a smile, and ordered Shui Xiu to take the silver and reward Sanfu, and after thanking Sanfu, he handed over the knife specially used to cut suckling pig to Xiao Luzi and retreated.

After Xiaoluzi cut the suckling pig with a knife, he took a small plate and brought it to everyone one by one, Rongxiang was the most happy, and he took the chopsticks to eat without saying a word. This roast suckling pig is taken from the piglets that have just been weaned within a month, because they have never eaten whole grains, the meat is very tender and has a milky aroma, and the chef has added a lot of secret sauces in the roasting, so that the meat tastes endlessly in the mouth. Even the Fucha clan, who doesn't like to eat meat very much, has eaten several pieces, not to mention Rong Xiang, who loves meat as much as his life, and he can't care about it, he just buries his head in hard work, how can he have eaten such delicious barbecue when he grows so big.

After tasting it, Ling Zhu also praised it, and bluntly said that it was several times better than the roast suckling pig that his colleagues had eaten in the restaurant when they were treated. Ling Ruo smiled and took the meat on the tail of the herring fish with chopsticks into the Fucha bowl, and caught a glimpse of Yi Lan holding her cheeks in a daze and wondered: "Why doesn't Lan'er eat vegetables, but it doesn't suit your appetite, tell your sister what you want to eat, and my sister will let someone make it for you." ”

Yilan shook his head, stared at Ling Ruo for a long time, then jumped off the chair and walked to her side and whispered with inky crystal eyes, "Sister, I also want to come to the play, okay?" ”

"This ......" Ling Ruo didn't expect her to make such a request, and it was a little difficult to answer for a while.

Just when she was embarrassed, Ling Zhu put down his chopsticks with a "snap" and glared at him: "Nonsense! Do you think this Baylor House is your home? Come and go as you want? Sit down and don't bother your sister anymore. ”

Ling Zhu has always treated his children very well, and he rarely said a word, but now seeing him scolding him with a straight face, Yilan didn't dare to talk back, sat back in his seat sullenly, and muttered in a low voice: "No, no, why are you so loud and murderous." ”

Fucha, who was sitting next to him, comforted softly: "Don't be upset, if you want to watch the play, Eniang will take you to the theater garden to watch it, don't be difficult for your sister, good!" ”

"There are all kinds of people in that place, so I don't want to go!" Yilan turned his head and said unhappily, how can the troupe specially invited by Baylor Mansion be compared with those complicated opera gardens outside.

Seeing that she refused to listen to persuasion, the Fucha clan was helpless, and looked at Ling Zhu with a little complaint, even if it didn't work, she should be good at it, why did she reprimand her like this.

"Okay, don't be angry." Ling Ruo patted her hand and said with a smile: "Sister will ask Chang Fujin when the time comes, if she doesn't object, will you go to the mansion and go to Qingyin Pavilion with your sister to listen to the play?" ”

"Really?" Ilan asked in surprise, her face beaming with joy.

"Naturally, it's true, when did my sister lie to you." She really loves this sister and doesn't want her to be wronged and sad.

With Ling Ruo's promise, Yilan's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and he was overjoyed, and his appetite was much better, and he competed with Rong Xiang, making this meal extremely lively, a large table of dishes was actually eaten, and the suckling pig was eaten cleanly, Rong Xiang ate the most, and more than half of the roast suckling pig entered his stomach, and when the fragrant tea and jasmine tongue were served after the meal, Rong Xiang was already paralyzed in the chair and kept burping, and he didn't even have the strength to refute in the face of Yilan's teasing, It was the fullest and most hearty meal he had ever eaten.
