Chapter 329: The Reception Banquet
Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu heard Feng Shi say this, and they both raised their mouths to taste it at the moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhong Hao took a piece of white chicken slices from the plate of hibiscus chicken slices and sent it to his mouth, the chicken slices were soft and smooth in the mouth, which was really good. At that moment, Zhong Hao couldn't help but praise it: "Well, my aunt's skills are really rising, hehe, it's much stronger than my skills in Qingzhou!" ”
Fu Ruozhu took a piece from the braised carp carp and sent it to his mouth, the braised carp was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and sweet and sour, so that Fu Ruozhu, who had never eaten this braised carp, couldn't help but praise it.
Fu Ruozhu also praised without a mouth: "Auntie's fish is also delicious, this fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the taste is sweet and sour, this is the first time I have eaten such a delicious fish!" ”
When Feng Shi heard Zhong Hao's praise, he didn't pay attention to it at all, but stared at Fu Ruozhu to taste the braised carp, and when he heard Fu Ruozhu's praise, he couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Ruozhu thinks it's delicious, if you want to eat these days, my aunt will make it for you every day!" ”
Fu Ruozhu smiled and thanked Feng.
Feng revealed Zhong Hao's bottom line and said: "Speaking of which, most of these dishes made by my aunt were taught to my aunt by Da Lang in Qingzhou!" If you leave Qingzhou in the future, your aunt can't make it for you, if you want to eat, let Dalang make it for you! ”
Fu Ruozhu really didn't know that Zhong Hao was good at cooking, and after listening to Feng's words, he couldn't help but look at Zhong Hao with a smile, and said crisply: "Xianggong, why don't people know that you have such good cooking skills?" Are people not worthy of your craft? You never reveal what you're good at cooking! ”
Although Fu Ruozhu and Zhong Hao have known each other for a long time, in fact, the time they really live together is only the period after they get married, because she really doesn't know what Zhong Hao can cook.
Zhong Hao said with a slight embarrassment: "When I was in Tokyo, wasn't I too busy, all kinds of things were fettered, how could I have time to cook dishes!" When you are free, whatever you want to eat, Xianggong will make it for you! ”
When he was in Tokyo, Zhong Hao was really busy all day, and he really didn't have time to cook food. Besides, after Zhong Hao arrived in Tokyo, he felt that this stir-fry was nothing more than that, and all kinds of classic dishes that people had figured out in those big restaurants in Tokyo were much better than ordinary stir-fried dishes. In recent years, stir-fried food has developed in a short time, and there are not too many very classic dishes, in fact, most people eat stir-fried food, just to make a novelty.
Another reason is also because Zhong Hao is indeed a little lazy now. In the past, when he was in Jingqiang Village, although there was Ke Yao to serve, Zhong Hao would still do many things by himself. But since he was studying in Yang Mansion to prepare for the exam, there were two little girls, Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing, who were waiting for him! In order to let Zhong Hao not be distracted and be able to study with peace of mind, Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing's service to Zhong Hao is simply all-round and without dead ends, and basically nothing is done by Zhong Hao himself. All Zhong Hao needs to do is stretch out his hands for clothes and open his mouth for food, and the rest of the time can study with peace of mind. Yes, Zhong Hao was really used to being a little lazy for a while.
After getting married, Pan Xu gave Zhong Hao There are more than a dozen servants and maids in the house, plus Ke Yao, Xiao Xing, and Xiao Tao, the team of servants has grown even stronger, and Zhong Hao is naturally more lazy to make dishes by himself. Enjoy the life of stretching out your hands with clothes and opening your mouth with food, and then let Zhong Hao do it himself, it's really a little difficult.
Zhong Hao couldn't help but sigh: It's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's difficult to go from luxury to thrift! Of course, Zhong Hao sighed and sighed, when it was time to move from luxury to frugality, for Zhong Hao, a later generation, it was actually still possible.
Now that he came to Qingzhou, he only brought Fu Ruozhu's personal maid Ling'er, such a little maid, many things had to be done by himself and Fu Ruozhu. Fortunately, in fact, Zhong Hao has the thinking from the future generations in his bones, although he has enjoyed the days of being served for a while, but in fact, he is really not used to how to get used to it in his heart, and he only indulges it occasionally. Yes, Zhong Hao said that he had time to cook for Fu Ruozhu to eat, but it was not just perfunctory. Zhong Hao actually has a hobby of making food by himself, and he really wants to make some food when he has time and taste it with Fu Ruozhu.
Fu Ruozhu is actually joking with Zhong Hao, she is very happy to hear Zhong Hao say this, she has also read the four books of "Female Commandment", "Internal Training", "Female Analects", "Female Fan Jielu", and has been taught by the elders since she was a child, learning the way of ladies such as women's morality and women's Taoism. She didn't really have the heart to cook for herself, but just laughed with Zhong Hao as a small spice for the relationship between husband and wife.
At that moment, Fu Ruozhu smiled and laughed: "People don't dare to let Master Jinshi cook dishes, that's a lot of trouble!" ”
"......" Zhong Hao could only be speechless in the face of this wise daughter-in-law. I really wanted to do it for her, but I didn't expect people to really want to do it for her!
………………
Wan'er raised the wine glass in her hand at this time and said, "Wan'er and her mother-in-law Jinghao's brother and sister-in-law have a glass, this is a reception seat!" ”
Saying that, Wan'er raised the wine glass in her hand to invite Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu to drink, and Feng Shi listened to Wan'er's words and raised his glass to congratulate Wan'er.
Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu listened to Wan'er's words, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of them, and said, "Then we thank Sister Wan'er for taking the wind for us!" ”
Saying that, the four of them drank the wine in the glass.
After the four of them finished drinking a glass, Ling'er, who was standing next to them, hurriedly took the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone.
Zhong Hao found out that Wan'er and the others drank mash with ice, and only he drank "jade liquid".
On this hot day, it's still a mash with ice, and it's really a bit unpalatable to drink a liquor! Anyway, there are no outsiders, there is no need to drink liquor to support the scene, and at that moment Zhong Hao asked Ling'er to change himself to mash.
After Ling'er poured wine for everyone, she couldn't help but go to stand behind Fu Ruozhu.
When Zhong Hao saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. Although in this era, when the master is eating, it is normal for the maid to stand beside him! But after all, Zhong Hao is from the next generation, and he still thinks that everyone is equal in his bones, and he is really a little reluctant to let a little maid stand by the side to eat and drink.
Besides, this is not a big family, it is a small family, there is no need to pay attention to the rules of so many masters and servants not having different tables, and this bell is Fu Ruozhu's personal maid, urinating and serving Fu Ruozhu, and she is like a sister, Zhong Hao feels that she should be allowed to dine together.
At that moment, Zhong Hao smiled at Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, sit down quickly, we don't have anyone else here, so we don't have to stand and wait!" ”
Ling'er listened to Zhong Hao's words, and hurriedly excused herself: "Uncle can't help it, you just eat, Ling'er is waiting by the side!" ”
Feng Shi also smiled and said: "Sit down, we are small families, and we don't pay attention to what masters and servants don't have to sit at." We didn't treat you as a maid, in the eyes of my aunt, but we regarded you as Ruozhu's sister! ”
Wan'er stood up at this time, stepped forward and pulled Ling'er, asking her to take a seat, and said, "Sister Ling'er, you can sit down!" ”
Ling'er insisted on prevarication: "Grandma, Miss Wan'er can't help it!" Although Ling'er has a very lively temperament and has a good relationship with her own lady, she grew up in a rich mansion and knows the rules very well, so she resolutely does not go to the table.
Zhong Hao smiled: "In the future, you will be more comfortable, your aunt and I don't have so many rules, my aunt asks you to sit, you should sit quickly, otherwise you will stand next to you, and we will not be comfortable eating!" ”
Ling'er listened to Zhong Hao's words and looked at Fu Ruozhu. Fu Ruozhu smiled: "Since my aunt asked you to sit, you can sit, you have to listen to your aunt here!" ”
Ling'er said yes and was pulled by Wan'er to sit next to her!
After Ling'er sat down, Feng picked up the wine glass again, and said to Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu with a smile: "Aunt also toasts you with a glass, I wish you a harmonious and beautiful life in the future!" When you got married, your aunt was not present, so this can be regarded as making up for that blessing! ”
Wan'er also raised a glass and said, "I also congratulate Brother Hao and sister-in-law on tying the knot, and I also wish you an early birth to a precious son!" Although people drink mash, the affection for this glass of wine is the same as that of water wine! ”
Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu also smiled and thanked Feng Shi and Wan'er for their blessings, and drank the iced mash in the cup together.
This mash itself is sweet and sour, plus the addition of ice, it is very cool, and it is very refreshing to drink, Zhong Hao is very happy to drink.
Feng beckoned everyone to eat.
At that moment, Zhong Hao and others were eating vegetables together, chatting while eating!
After chatting for a while, Wan'er raised her glass to Zhong Hao again, congratulating him on winning the Jinshi. Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu also saluted Feng and wished her good health!
This mash was very pleasant to drink, and everyone was very happy, and for a while, the cups were really saluted back and forth, and the atmosphere at the banquet was very good.
At this time, the cool night breeze blew away the heat, and the weather was much cooler, and everyone sat on the stone table under the golden laurel tree while eating, drinking and chatting, which was very comfortable.
At first, Wan'er and Fu Ruozhu chatted about some popular gouache types in Tokyo, jewelry, clothing styles, etc., while Feng listened to Zhong Hao with great interest about his experience in the past few years.
Later, after listening to Fu Ruozhu talk about these popular gouache types in Tokyo and jewelry, clothing styles and other things that girls care about, Wan'er couldn't help but ask about Zhong Haozhong's grand ceremony and parade of officials and other scenery.
Although Zhong Hao thinks that this ceremony and parade of officials are torture for the new science and technology scholars, although it is very glorious, it is indeed a very painful thing. However, in order to satisfy Wan'er's curiosity, Zhong Hao naturally talked about the glory and excitement of a series of activities after the royal street officials and other junior scholars!
Zhong Hao used fascinating words to tell the glorious things after the Zhongjin Shi such as the Ceremony of Passing on the Emperor, the Royal Street Praise Official, the Qionglin Banquet and the Jin Ming Pond Banquet Tour, which made Wan'er very proud of Zhong Hao when she heard it, and she couldn't help but yearn for it, and she couldn't wait to see the excitement of the Royal Street Praise Official!
Feng Shi was also very pleased with Zhong Haozhongjinshi, and after chatting with Fu Ruozhu for a while, he was also attracted by Zhong Hao's narration, and couldn't help but listen to Zhong Hao's narration! She is also extremely happy and honored that Zhong Hao can be a jinshi.
Fu Ruozhu was also very interested in Zhong Hao's story.
Fu Ruozhu has been traveling with her father in other places all these years, and she really has never seen the lively scene of the royal street boasting officials in Tokyo, and she can't help but feel very regretful.
When the last new branch of Jinshi was paraded on the street, his brother-in-law Feng Jing was the champion, but it was a pity that she was here in Qingzhou with her father who was a governor in Qingzhou at that time, and she never saw the excitement of this new branch Jinshi Yujie boasting about officials! And in this department, her father-in-law also has to be a Jinshi in the middle class, and this royal street official should go to see it. It's a pity that she followed her father in Bingzhou at that time, and she never saw the scene of this royal street boasting official, because she told this Zhong Hao that the excitement of the royal street boasting official was also very yearning, and she had been looking at her husband Zhong Hao with very hot eyes, listening to him tell about the scenery of the royal street boasting officials, Qionglin banquet and so on.
In this era, the young talents who can enter the Jinshi are the most handsome and talented, the most windy~ and suave Ruyi Langjun in the eyes of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, and Fu Ruozhu is no exception.
Zhong Hao saw Fu Ruozhu, Feng Shi, and Wan'er with very reverent and yearning eyes, and he was also proud, and he couldn't help but boast even more about the glory of this series of activities after the middle jinshi.
Zhong Hao boasted for a long time, and then he finished speaking, and everyone was still unsatisfied!
The long night was full, the summer heat was too heavy, and I couldn't sleep early, but everyone was not in a hurry to end the feast. The evening breeze blows in this courtyard, chatting while eating and drinking, but it is also very cool and comfortable.
Zhong Hao finished talking about some of his experiences, and he inevitably asked Feng and Wan'er about their lives in the past three years.
With this restaurant running and the dividends of the natural residence, Feng and Wan'er's life in the past three years has been very peaceful and rich.
The Gao Deli brothers often came back to help, and they could usually help with things that the women of the Feng family couldn't do. In addition, this Feng family is kind, and the neighbors in this street get along more harmoniously, and their lives are more comfortable.
Besides, Zhong Hao went to other places to be an official, and he was also an official, so although Feng and Wan'er's orphans and widows ran food shops, there were no ruffians or the like to make trouble and bully them. Those ruffians and the like are the most likely to see the wind and rudder, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and there are officials in people's families, so they naturally dare not provoke the family members of this official!
When Zhong Hao saw Feng talking about this stable life, he kept a heartfelt smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with his current life! Zhong Hao couldn't help but be very happy that Feng and Wan'er could live.
Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had been talking and laughing all night in this courtyard, until it was very late, and everyone was a little unsatisfied.
