Chapter 541: Hospitality
This startling really scared people a lot, and Aunt Xue, who was dazed and fainted, heard the news behind her, woke up again, laughed and applauded.
"Thank God, fortunately, God blessed me and was able to escape death, after today's banquet, I will definitely go to the Buddha Hall tomorrow to burn a stick of incense, in order to tell the gods to bless my son's safety."
If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to maintain her image in front of so many subordinates, I'm afraid Aunt Xue would want to dance with her hands and feet. Aunt Gu, who pointed to Aunt Xue and their mother and son to be able to support themselves in the future, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The whole house was as happy as if it was the New Year, only Aunt Wei's courtyard was still quiet as usual.
There was such a big thing in the Zhang family, and the young and strong men up and down the house were all called to the front by greetings, and Jiang Liuyu, who was busy making the main dish in the back kitchen, naturally couldn't be unaware.
Now that the matter at hand is over, Jiang Liuyu is curious for a while, so he also follows the other subordinates to the path next to the courtyard, wanting to take a look at the excitement.
One by one, those who had been rescued from the sea were placed on spring benches and carried back to their respective courtyards one by one from the corner gate. Among them, the only one lying on the spring bench covered with a wool blanket was Aunt Xue's son.
Aunt Xue also rushed over early, and threw herself next to Zhang Tong, who had fallen asleep, crying with a handful of snot and tears. Jiang Liuyu hid in the shadows, although she was a little moved to look at it, but she still wanted to laugh more.
But she didn't wait long for her to be happy, and the person in the back of her made her feel very familiar, hazy, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she was not impressed.
It turned out that after the explosion of the two ships early this morning, the merchant ships passing by also came to help salvage it. It's just that the people on both boats are mixed together, and no one can tell who is on which side.
There were many people from the Zhang family who came to help, and they saw that Su Jingye's appearance was handsome, which was different from ordinary young people who fished, so they thought it was Zhang Tong's friend, or Zhang Tong's subordinate who bought it from outside, so they rescued him and carried him back to Zhang's mansion.
As for the other people on the cargo ship, Su Jingye originally happened to come with the cargo ship that people came to do business, and most of the people on the ship were good at water, at most, when they had a headache for the loss of goods, they didn't have to worry about him, their lives were safe.
Jiang Liuyu stood in place in a daze, watching those people carry Su Jingye away gradually, and finally came back to his senses, remembering that he was almost exactly the same as the man he had drawn on the paper.
"It's him?! Who the hell is it? Jiang Liuyu gasped, suddenly came back to her senses, and the question in her heart seemed to be finally answered.
She muttered to herself and turned around, thinking that she would have time to ask the man, but she turned around and happened to be face to face with Aunt Gu, who had come to watch the excitement together.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to cook? Could it be that it has already been done? Or is there really nothing you can do, so you just want to find a way to escape? Aunt Gu frowned, and the magpie also found out that she had lost Jiang Liuyu later, so she hurriedly ran over and stood behind her obediently.
Aunt Gu looked at Jiang Liuyu's appearance, not at all like she was busy and anxious, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart, so she laughed smugly.
"Let me tell you, even if you run to the ends of the earth, as long as the government releases the sea fishing papers, you will not be able to escape."
I used to think that it was only modern people who would think about it, but I didn't expect that the imagination of the ancients was not inferior at all. Jiang Liuyu barely held back a smile, thinking that he was just here to join in the fun, how could he let him be like this? I thought I was too disdainful of myself.
"Back to my aunt, I have already done all the dishes on the menu, after a while, you will know it after you have seen it in person, I still have things in my hands, I will leave first if I want to be busy, my aunt will do her best."
After that, without waiting for Gu Yinhua to think of some other way to toss himself, Jiang Liuyu was very eye-catching and hurriedly ran away. Gu Yinhua is the same surname as the magpie, and if he really has something to say, fortunately, Jiang Liuyu ran very fast in small steps, and disappeared all of a sudden, and all the words that called her were blocked in her throat and could not be released.
Gu Yinhua pointed blankly in the direction he left, and it took a long time to flick his sleeves angrily, "Hmph!" ”
After a while, Zhang Tong didn't wake up, and the banquet of the Zhang family naturally couldn't start, so he put him in his own room, so he went out one after another to prepare some hot ginger soup to give him a while to wake up and use to ward off the cold.
So when Zhang Tong woke up, there was no half a figure in the whole room. When I looked at the sky outside, it was already dim enough to see the stars.
He rubbed his still somewhat confused head, and got out of bed to pour a cup of tea, but unexpectedly, on the wall on the other side of his room, on the small couch used for summer cooling, there was actually another man lying on it.
Zhang Tong was still young in the end, and he was so frightened that he was almost about to scream, but seeing that the man opposite didn't seem to have woken up yet, he temporarily held back, stepped forward to check, and found that this person was actually handsome and not inferior to himself, and his temperament was not an ordinary man's son at first glance.
Zhang Tong rolled his eyes and reached out to pat Su Jingye's shoulder. Su Jingye, who hadn't had time to wake up yet, suddenly felt that a stranger was approaching him, and with the instinct he had practiced on the battlefield, he suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hand that patted him on the shoulder.
If you push harder, you may be dislocated in this hand. Su Jingye frowned, reflexively thinking that someone wanted to disadvantage him, but he heard the exclamation of a young man from above, and as soon as he raised his head again, he quickly let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry, little brother, I was too reckless, didn't hurt you?"
Zhang Tong really scared Su Jingye a lot, but he was even more surprised when he was frightened, he rubbed his wrist that barely escaped, and looked at Su Jingye with almost bright eyes.
"I didn't expect you to have such kung fu brother Tai, I have always been very yearning for people who practice martial arts, I didn't expect to find you such a martial arts master today, under the surname Zhang, my real name is Zhang Tong, I don't know what to call the son?"
"Down, Su Jingye." Su Jingye met his eyes with such joy, and felt flattered and embarrassed in his heart. "Dare to ask, but your Excellency saved you, thank you in advance."
"You're welcome," Zhang Tong said and was about to sit down and talk to her for a while when Xiao Si, who was cooking ginger soup for him outside, broke in.
"Young master, you can be regarded as awake, Aunt Xue outside is already in a hurry, today she specially prepared a banquet for you, for fear that you will not be able to participate today, you can be regarded as awake. Who is this child? ”
As soon as the little guy entered the door, all he saw was Zhang Tong who had woken up, and after greeting him happily, he turned his eyes and saw Su Jingye who was also open below.
Zhang Tong seemed to have a Jianghu aura on his body, and waved his hand very generously, "This Su Gongzi is my friend, there is a banquet outside, you quickly take your clothes and change with the two of me, and I will go to see my father and mother later." ”
"Yes." The little servant agreed and retreated, and Su Jingye struggled to sit up, "This is your family's family banquet, and I went over as an outsider, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
"It's all right, my father was born to be the most hospitable, and he certainly doesn't care about it, and I have a lot of things to ask Childe, so Childe will go with us." My mother and a few other aunts are afraid that I would like to hear from my son about the customs and customs you see outside the Nanyang Kingdom. ”
Zhang Tong can also be regarded as able to speak, looking at the smile on his face, Su Jingye just wanted to refuse, and he was a little embarrassed to speak.
"Then it's better to be respectful."
At the banquet, Zhang Tong led Su Jingye, and after greeting Zhang Qisheng, Aunt Gu, and Aunt Xue, they each sat down.
As soon as the banquet opened, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the bamboo shoots and bamboo rats made by Jiang Liuyu himself, the production procedures of this bamboo rat are the most exquisite, and if the heat is not controlled well, it will spoil the fresh meat of the bamboo rat
But this dish seems to be made by the chef's apprentice, although it does not have the good color and taste of the chef's class, but it is also good, at least it will not make people easily find fault with the taste.
Seeing that the dishes behind her were put up one by one, each more delicate than the other, Aunt Gu was so angry that she grabbed the handkerchief, thinking that even if she couldn't dispose of Jiang Liuyu, if Zhang Qisheng asked who the chef was, it would be better not to tell him.
"Mr. Su came all the way to taste the skills of our family's chefs, and what is the difference between what you eat outside." Zhang Qisheng and Zhang Tong are worthy of being father and son, both of them feel that Su Jingye's temperament is very noble, maybe they are the sons and daughters of some rich and noble family, so they are particularly warmly entertained.
Su Jingye didn't expect what they thought in their hearts, raised his chopsticks, but smiled and agreed to taste it, but just after tasting such a bite, he suddenly felt that the taste of this dish was very familiar, as if it was the same as the way Jiang Liuyu made it for himself in the palace.
Isn't she, right here?
Su Jingye at the table fell into deep thought for the taste of this main dish, Jiang Liuyu inquired that Su Jingye was invited, and when he went to the banquet to eat, he also followed to the corner to take a closer look.
But she didn't wait long to watch, Jiang Liuyu was suddenly taken away by someone covering her mouth.
