Chapter 157: Deliberate Posturing
Although she thought so, Mrs. Cheng still said with a posture: "It's okay, it's just a daughter-in-law, which shows that the old lady of our family has a bit of vision." Of course, if Qingyan hadn't been so sensible, I wouldn't have let her in my door. ”
"Oh, that's okay, huh? I see that Mrs. Cheng, your vision is too high. If my daughter-in-law does this once or twice, I am really an ancestor who has accumulated virtue. ”
"That's it, Mrs. Cheng, don't be modest, it's good for people to smoke lightly."
A few ladies spoke, and then turned around and praised Zhao Qingyan for a while, and Mrs. Cheng listened and laughed from ear to ear.
Seeing Mrs. Cheng's appearance, Zhao Qingyan knew that she was afraid that she was really pleasing to herself now, not like before. I'm afraid that after today's incident, Mrs. Cheng's attitude towards herself will be much better. Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Qingyan's mouth curved slightly.
Seeing that the dishes put in the hot pot were almost cooked, the people next to them also looked at it with some eyes. After Zhao Qingyan picked up those dishes, those people almost scattered and ordered food. But there are still a lot of people looking at this side, and the longing in their eyes is self-evident.
Mrs. Cheng didn't see it when she saw it, but she had an inexplicable sense of superiority in her heart. When Zhao Qingyan put the dish in front of her, after seeing her taste it a few times, she asked, "Mother, what do you think?" ”
"That's it." Mrs. Cheng raised her chin and said. has some arrogant posture, but Zhao Qingyan is not very annoying. For her, as long as Mrs. Cheng can accept this level of flattery, then it is best if she is happy, she is happy, and there are no accidents.
Thinking so, Zhao Qingyan ate the dishes on the plate.
One table, two people, thinking completely different things.
Although it was eating, there were some guests who had just come and wanted to place an order when they saw the stove on Zhao Qingyan's table. After getting the refusal, some people began to ask Zhao Qingyan how to make the stove and how to make the pot.
In the past, Mrs. Cheng was definitely uncomfortable.
After all, she has always disliked being disturbed by Zhao Qingyan or people and things related to Zhao Qingyan.
But today, Mrs. Cheng is very happy.
Whenever someone comes, the curvature of the chin will involuntarily rise, as if to show his superiority. Zhao Qingyan looked at it and didn't say anything, just told others that he might have this kind of dish in the future.
Those guests often leave disappointed when they hear this.
The guests changed batch after batch, but Zhao Qingyan's table received little attention at all.
The guys have also learned to be obedient, if someone wants to ask Zhao Qingyan about the hot pot on the table, they will take the initiative to tell the reason, so that they can have a nostalgia and come back in the future.
"Mother, we should finish eating, we should go home now, right? Light smoke is afraid that it will be late to go back, and grandma will be worried. ”
Hearing Zhao Qingyan say this, Mrs. Cheng remembered her grandmother's matter, she patted her head and said, "Yes, yes, then let's go back first." ”
The two walked home, just to eat after dinner. Halfway through, Mrs. Cheng asked about today's hot pot: "Light smoke, can we get the thing we just ate again?" ”
Hearing Mrs. Cheng ask, Zhao Qingyan's eyes blinked. "Does my mother like that thing very much?"
Before Mrs. Cheng could answer, Zhao Qingyan said, "Of course, you can fix it again, and after the light smoke, let the guy bring that thing home." Coincidentally, this is a light smoke on a whim, if it is to be put into the restaurant recipe, it needs to be improved, and it will naturally be brought to the house. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng nodded, and when she realized something, she said, "I don't like that thing very much, I just think it's a little convenient, and if I can bring it home, the atmosphere will be very lively compared to the home." ”
Seeing Mrs. Cheng's answer that there was no silver three hundred taels here, Zhao Qingyan did not expose her.
"Light smoke naturally understands. It's just that the light smoke needs to be repaired more to bring back to the house, and I hope that my mother and grandmother will take care of it more in the future, so that the light smoke can improve the stove in various aspects, otherwise if it is not done well, the food will be disliked. ”
Zhao Qingyan knew her so well and gave her a step down, to be honest, Mrs. Cheng was naturally a little happy in her heart. After all, what she likes most is face. Someone can tell her what's wrong, but it has to be hinted. If she is swept away in person, her unhappiness will be on the bright side.
Mrs. Cheng's eyes wandered, and she bowed her head and said, "You are my daughter-in-law, of course I will help you with some things." ”
Hearing what Mrs. Cheng said, Zhao Qingyan said again: "Mother, especially during this time, my father and Ah Qiao went to suppress bandits, and our family must be united and not cause chaos." Otherwise, when they come back in the future, they will already be so tired, and let them not worry, it will be a great sin. ”
Mrs. Cheng knew what Zhao Qingyan was hinting at, and nodded: "I naturally know." ”
When Zhao Qingyan and Mrs. Cheng returned to the house, the old lady happened to be eating.
Zhao Qingyan knew that the old lady's physical problems had become more and more obvious recently, and the meal time had also been moved back a little, most of the time saying that she was not hungry. Seeing this, Zhao Qingyan didn't say anything, but just went up to say hello to the old lady.
Seeing that Zhao Qingyan and Mrs. Cheng were back, the old lady asked, "How are things going today?" What did the emperor tell you to do? ”
Hearing the old lady's question, Zhao Qingyan replied: "Grandma, the emperor called us there today to tell us that Dad and Ah Qiao are all right over there." It's going very well, if the time comes, the bandit crackdown will go well, presumably Dad and Ah Qiao will come back soon. ”
Hearing Zhao Qingyan say this, the old lady's face rose with joy.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect it to be true. Thank God to our ancestors, I will go to the ancestral hall to worship the Bodhisattva and bless them with all the best and go home early. ”
Hearing the old lady say this, Zhao Qingyan's face became more gentle. The old lady has always wanted to make this Wen Mansion better, but now after they go out to suppress the bandits, the old lady often doesn't think about tea and dinner, so she wants them to come back first. This is also the reason why Zhao Qingyan didn't care about the old lady eating late, after all, it was already very good to be able to eat now.
But after getting such news, Zhao Qingyan knew that the old lady was also very happy in her heart.
"Mother, don't worry, Ah Qiao and her husband will be back soon, at that time, I still have to go with Qingyan to prepare for the next banquet. You, just wait here to hear the good news! ”
Mrs. Cheng also said with a smile when she saw the old lady's expression.
Seeing that Mrs. Cheng also said this, the smile on the old lady's face deepened. "Okay, then I'll wait for their good news at the house. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself and won't worry too much. Knowing that the two of them were there to comfort themselves so that they could be happier, the old lady said the same.
