Chapter 221: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves (3)

The table had already been set up with wine and food, just waiting for the two of them to sit down. Li Wenxuan, who accompanied Lin Ruoxi, walked down the second floor, and came directly to the round table in the middle of the first floor and sat down. He didn't sit opposite her as usual, but chose to be close to her as a way to show their intimacy with each other.

Li Wenxuan, who picked up the chopsticks casually, found that the chopsticks used today were not made of bamboo. The head of the chopsticks is made of gold, and the rest of the chopsticks are made of silver. He didn't pay much attention to the dishes in the utensils, but he also noticed that the utensils were different from usual. In addition to the blue and white porcelain, silver inlaid with gold-rimmed utensils were also put on display.

At the same time, Li Wenxuan really didn't feel the high-end atmosphere, but suddenly gave birth to a feeling of nouveau riche. He didn't say much, he knew very well that all these were items brought by Lin Ruoxi from her mother's family, after all, when she got married, she brought a lot of dowry. Every time I stay here to eat, I can always feel that they are two opposite sides to Zhao Tianer's side.

In advance, as long as Li Wenxuan informed him in advance that he was going to eat at Xiaoxiang Restaurant, then Zhao Tianer would definitely cook everything himself. Every time the dishes on the table are very common home-cooked dishes, they are full of love for herself. On the contrary, Lan Xinge's side is trying to change tricks.

Li Wenxuan, who is very understandable about this, knows that Lin Ruoxi, who was born in a wealthy businessman family, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, naturally pursues a quality life. Zhao Tianer, who turned out to be a maid, did not change her habits because of the change of status. In the spirit of diligence and thrift, she is far less useful than Lin Ruoxi.

While thinking about things, Li Wenxuan, who was starting to use the spoon in the small plate, scooped out a spoonful from the vegetable bowl containing tofu, and put it directly into his mouth and ate it. Feeling different from the usual taste of tofu, he couldn't help but scoop it a second time and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting on his left, saw that he liked it, so he was also happy in his heart: "How does this dish taste?" I hope Xianggong can comment on it. By the way, guess what it is? ”

Li Wenxuan, who didn't have to think about it, put the blue and white spoon in his right hand in its original position without hurrying, and said casually: "Do you still need to guess this?" Isn't it just tofu? It's just that this dish of white jade tofu should be made with chicken soup to enhance the flavor. ”

Lin Ruoxi, who was smiling but silent, looked at Lu'er, who was standing opposite and waiting, and motioned for her to explain. Lu'er, who understood it, took the initiative to step forward, and said with a toothy smile: "Uncle, the tofu is not fake, but it is tofu made of fish brains." Today, the young lady was going to invite the slave to come and taste it. ”

Li Wenxuan, who didn't pick up the spoon again, didn't need to scoop a spoonful to taste it carefully, and he completely believed that this was true. As a daughter-in-law, although she is not a loser, she is indeed extravagant enough. He didn't deeply criticize and educate Lin Ruoxi, he was all good things that Zhao Tian'er couldn't eat, and he came here to fight and open his eyes.

On Su Meiniang's side, my biggest feeling is that she eats very locally, plus she is very earthy. Every time, the dishes she puts out are either abalone and ginseng wings, snake soup, bear paws and so on. Although these ingredients are produced in smaller quantities and are much more expensive, the key to the quality of the taste lies in the quality of the chef, not in the themselves.

Li Wenxuan, who picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, believed that this fish brain tofu must have used a lot of fish. After thinking about it, he understood that this fish brain was for himself and Lin Ruoxi to cook, and the extra fish meat would not be wasted, after all, the slaves and maids could be used to eat. I felt that this arrangement was also good, and smiled and said, "You are the best at eating on your side." The food is not only delicate, but also elegant. ”

"Xianggong, you're joking." Lin Ruoxi, who had eaten a mouthful of fish brain tofu, swallowed the food in his mouth, and slowly said his reasoning: "This time is different from the past, and we are not still in a small place like Guixi County. The purpose of the concubine is not only to enjoy the appetite for herself and her husband, but also to invite important guests and friends in the house in the future, so as not to end up with a joke. ”

Li Wenxuan, who understands what she means, knows what regional discrimination is. Even in later generations, this situation has not been eliminated. Not to mention that it was still in the Ming Dynasty? This situation is even more complicated and serious, after all, people are still divided into three, six, nine and so on. That is, people in the city look down on the rural people, and the rural people look down on the people in the mountains.

In addition, people living in big cities look down on people from small cities, just as Shanghainese people think that outsiders are all from the countryside, while Beijingers feel that everything is the same except for the capital. In this regard, Li Wenxuan is not surprised that Lin Ruoxi has this idea and thought. During the period of time she settled in the capital, whether it was her or Zhao Tianer, Su Meiniang had already improved her horizons a lot. It won't be that they don't go out of the gate, and they don't go out of the door, and they often go to the street to take a look, and take a stroll. After all, the prosperity of this place was something they had never seen before.

As for the food of large families in the capital, it is naturally more demanding than that of large households in small places. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many families who have been rich for three generations, so this superstructure is far different from the family that has just emerged. Lin Ruoxi, a woman who regards herself as a woman who is not inferior to the generations of eunuchs in the capital and the daughter of a meritorious aristocratic family, will definitely not be laughed at as a village girl who doesn't understand anything in small details.

Li Wenxuan, who understood her thoughts, although he did not object to her actions, said his true thoughts: "The happiest thing for people is to do what they like." The most important thing is to live comfortably all your life, so why care too much about other people's eyes? Whatever they like to say behind their backs, they go. ”

Lin Ruoxi, who is in line with improving his own grade and loves face, does not have such an open-minded idea as him, and disagrees: "What you said is really cheap enough." If our family continues to develop as you say, I am afraid that we will only be ridiculed as hillbillies by those high-ranking families. ”

Li Wenxuan, who looked disappreciative, drooped his head and said, "A hillbilly is a hillbilly!" Everyone's ancestors have ancestors who were born with mud legs. Even the Zhu family, which is the first one today, is no exception. ”
