Chapter 141: You really can't talk about people behind your back
When it was dawn, Xiao Qiqi and Mei Changqing took the three little ones back to the Xiao family, at that time, the Xiao family was already full of smoke, and the first-class cook brought by Su Jing had prepared breakfast early. Looking at the various breakfasts on the dinner table, the portions were sufficient, but Xiao Qiqi didn't need to be busy with anything.
"This lady, the master ordered, I don't know what the lady and the three little masters like to eat, so the small ones have made some, I hope that the lady and the three little masters like to eat." This cook is actually very Alexander, since the master has eaten the food cooked by this Mrs. Xiao, he feels that he is going to be packed back.
This last night, he also thought that instead of being packed back by the master, it was better to be cheerful and take the initiative to keep a little dignity, so he packed up his luggage last night, and ran to the master before dawn to take the initiative to beg, but he didn't know that the master asked him to make breakfast, what to do.
Therefore, the cook also wanted to fight in front of the master, and listen to what Mrs. Xiao said about his cooking skills, so that he would treat this breakfast as if it was an annual chef competition, and it could be said that he did his best to make this sumptuous breakfast.
Not to mention, look at the various breakfasts on the table, it is really no different from the imperial meal.
Look, bird's nest hanging stove duck hanging oven meat wild hot pot one product, bird's nest mushroom pot roast chicken hot pot one product, fried chicken stewed frozen tofu hot pot one product, shredded meat and bamboo shoots hot pot one product, steamed duck roasted roe deer meat save plate one product.
Deertail sheep Wuyi saves a plate, bamboo roll small bun first product, spoon glutinous red cake a product, New Year cake a product, enamel sunflower huā box side dish a product, enamel dish side dish four products, salted meat plate, accompanied by duck three fresh noodles into a product, chicken soup meal a product.
Six products of gluttony, three crystals of Qinghai water beast bowl dishes, ten plates of meat, five sides of mutton, one side of pork, one side of venison.
A big table is full, such an breakfast, even if the emperor eats it, Xiao Qiqi feels that he can be leisurely, but he also feels that it is quite a waste.
But thinking that the master of this chef is Su Jing, I don't think there is anything surprising, the emperor's relatives are always at the highest level in terms of food.
This point, just look at the expressions of Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu, obviously these two little guys are not surprised by such dishes at all, it seems to be taken for granted, while taking it for granted, Xiao Qiqi also found that these two little guys still dislike such an early meal, and they are tired of eating it at first glance.
"Are you going to eat these early today?" Xiao Yu frowned, obviously unable to raise any appetite, and Xiao Yu too, looking at Xiao Qiqi with watery eyes.
"Mother, I want to eat the wontons made by my mother, as well as the colorful balls, and of course, the delicious milk huā raw dew."
"You two little guys are too picky eaters, such a hearty breakfast, you still dislike it, my mother thinks it's delicious when I look at it, you don't eat it, my mother has to start eating."
Didn't these two children see that the face of the chef on the side was completely wrong? is so disgusting, disappointing the wishes of the cook, that is unacceptable, as a peer, Xiao Qiqi understands this feeling, so she will not let this cook be in such an embarrassing situation.
What's more, the chef's cooking is not bad at all, it is quite delicious, but the dishes are not creative, and the weather has not been taken into account.
In addition, it is also possible that the two children have eaten too much of this breakfast in the past, and there is no freshness for a long time, so they naturally want to taste it at a glance, which is also the so-called delicious food, and it must be changed every day, otherwise, not only can not arouse the appetite of the eater, but will also make the eater get tired of seeing it.
Of course, people like Xiao Qiqi and Xiao Xingchen who taste the taste for the first time, this breakfast is still very popular with their mother and son, and in addition, although they are in a big family, Mei Changqing and Su Liunian, who rarely eat such an early meal, naturally don't feel tired.
As for Long Jiu and Ying Yue, I don't know if it's because of Su Jing's relationship, the two of them are standing there, and they don't plan to eat at the table.
"Long Jiu, invite Yue, the two of you can also sit down and eat together, how can you stand, can you eat enough when you watch us eat." Hurry up, come and sit and eat, and this master cook, I've worked hard for you, let's eat together. In Xiao Qiqi's thoughts, there is no concept of hierarchy, since they all have to eat, they just sit down and eat together, so she said quite naturally.
But obviously, without Su Jing's nod, Long Jiu, Invite Yue and this cook obviously didn't dare to eat at the table.
This Xiao Qiqi knew what the problem was, so she looked at Su Jing opposite, as if she thought of something, and said: "Lord, when I eat, I'm not used to someone standing on the side and watching, we don't have such rules in the village, the villagers in this township eat together, so you see-"
"Long Jiu, Invite Yue, Fan Danian, since Mrs. Xiao has spoken, the three of you should also sit down and eat together." Su Jing glanced at Xiao Qiqi lightly and said.
"Yes, master." The three of them didn't feel that it was an honor, but felt that it was a chore, it seemed that they knew that they were very restrained, although they sat down and moved their chopsticks, but they lowered their heads, just ate a few dishes on the side, and those who were a little farther away didn't dare to clip it, seeing the three of them eat so hard, Xiao Qiqi couldn't bear it.
I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back, thinking that even if she persuaded her again, she would not let the three of them change this restrained attitude, so she forced it.
So when the three of them stood up after eating, Xiao Qiqi didn't mention anything anymore, but just accompanied his son to eat with relish, tasting them one by one, and while tasting, they were still communicating.
"Mother, this chicken soup is very good, you drink more to replenish your body, but it is the most suitable for your mother." Xiao Xingchen very considerately scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Xiao Qiqi and put it in front of Xiao Qiqi, this Xiao Qiqi would not refuse her son's kindness, she smiled and picked up the small soup spoon and drank it one by one.
To be honest, it tastes really good, and this chicken soup is okay.
"Good son, if you have such a heart, your mother will drink more." Xiao Qiqi habitually rubbed his son's head, and put a piece of venison into Xiao Xingchen's rice bowl.
"Son, venison is rare, eat more to grow taller." Eating like bird's nest and venison, Xiao Qiqi has never done it, it's not that she can't do it, but this kind of ingredient is rare and expensive, with Xiao Qiqi's family background, naturally she won't consider high-grade ingredients, that is not what their family can afford, not to mention, venison is such a wild thing, but it is a good thing, it is hard to find, and when you have the opportunity to eat, you naturally have to eat more.
And this, not only Xiao Qiqi knows the goods, Mei Changqing and Su Liunian also know the goods, the four of them are eating food that they have not eaten in these days, especially Xiao Qiqi's mother and son, during the banquet, Xiao Qiqi kept sandwiching venison for Xiao Xingchen, and helped his son scoop bird's nest, the mother and son were not restrained at all, and they ate happily.
In this way, it made Su Jing, who had always felt that eating was dispensable, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu also had an appetite and began to join them and grab food with them.
Not to mention, it's obviously a dish made by the same chef, obviously the three of them have eaten it more than once, and they feel that they are already tired, but they don't want to, and at this time they think it is delicious again.
I don't know if I'm eating with different people, because the people who eat together are different, so the mood changes, so even if I usually eat greasy food, I can eat delicious food in their mouths at the moment.
This may be the same as looking at the scenery, and different people will have different moods when looking at the scenery, even if the scenery is the same, but if the people are different, the scenery will be different.
Therefore, at this moment, they can be said to be eating with relish, and as the dishes become fewer and fewer, the eyes of the chef on the side are getting brighter and brighter.
This morning, Su Jing naturally gave him a reward, not a reward of silver, but a reward on the skin of his mouth, a word of appreciation, just two words.
"Not bad." These two words were enough for the cook to be excited, but he had never received these two words of appreciation from his master's mouth.
In the past, the master felt that there was no difference in what he ate, and he would eat three bites of each dish, and then he would be rewarded to his subordinates who had meritorious work to eat, but he would not move a chopstick.
Now in this breakfast, but it has broken the master's habits, some dishes have not been touched, but some dishes have eaten more than three bites, perhaps, in the eyes of others, it is nothing, but in the eyes of this chef, it is a great thing.
The children of the aristocracy, especially the royal family, have rules for eating, even if the dishes they like to eat are delicious, they can't exceed three chopsticks, and if they don't like to eat dishes, they have to eat three chopsticks, that is, they don't want people to notice your preferences, so as not to be exploited by people with hearts, especially the one on the dragon chair, who is very constrained in terms of diet and never makes an exception.
Therefore, don't envy those characters who are at the peak of their scenery, sometimes, they don't even have a meal as casual and unrestrained as ordinary people.
Thinking about this, Su Jing suddenly put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief delivered by Ying Yue on the side, and wiped the corners of his mouth, indicating that he had finished eating.
Xiao Qiqi looked at Su Jing with some puzzlement, this guy's appetite is obviously very good, but he ate a lot last time, why did he eat so little today, and he didn't have an appetite?
Also, a character like him is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he is really tired of eating like this, and he can't taste anything good or bad, and being able to move chopsticks can be regarded as giving face to the cook.
