Chapter 221: Serve a delicious meal
While they were all busy outside, they picked up the bucket and turned into the space to bring out a bucket of water, and caught a fish out.
Duck soup, stir-fried greens, steamed fish, and steamed dried sweet potatoes with a special sauce are all set. She cleaned up the fish in three or two, and the cooks had already cut the vegetables and duck pieces for later use, and when she came in, she was stunned when she saw the fish in Xia Sihan's hand, when did you buy the fish?
They looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. Xia Sihan didn't speak, and they couldn't ask questions, so they could only put things down silently. In less than an hour, the dishes were ready, and today's cooking was relatively light, Xia Sihan asked people to take them to the dining room, and he went to change his clothes, and then went to the front hall.
When Mrs. Liu arrived, they all came, and when they sat at the table and saw the table of dishes, Mrs. Liu couldn't stop nodding. At the same time, she is also very sad, she is the same size as Xiyue, Xiyue is still a spoiled child, but Xia Sihan can cook good dishes. This kind of craft can't be practiced in a year or two, what did she experience in those years?
Mrs. Liu's eyes were a little more pity, and Xia Sihan only smiled slightly after seeing it.
"Today, thanks to the general and his wife, my husband and wife have a little thin wine, I hope the general and his wife will not dislike it, come, our husband and wife respect the general and his wife!" Li Jinyan picked up his wine glass, stood up with Xia Sihan, and General Liu hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down. However, Li Jinyan did not listen, but stood and raised his head to drink the wine, and Xia Sihan was too.
General Liu and his wife had to respond, and after a cup, everyone's chatterbox was opened, and they talked happily. General Liu sandwiched a piece of fish meat, tasted it carefully, raised his eyebrows, and kept praising it: "It's delicious!" I have long heard that your cooking skills are good, but after tasting it today, I realized that Jin Yan didn't say a big thing, this fish is tender and smooth, it is really good! ”
"The general eats more if he likes, these ingredients are extremely ordinary, but the water used to cook is the mountain spring water that the servant went to the back mountain to fetch, so the cooked dishes taste more delicious."
Xia Sihan's words made General Liu more interested, and he couldn't help but eat two more pieces, a few more pieces of belly, and suddenly felt comfortable all over. Mrs. Liu is the same, she only feels full of energy, and there is an indescribable feeling.
Xia Sihan and Li Jinyan wanted to glance at each other, and the latter immediately understood what she meant, where there was any mountain spring water, it was simply the stream water in her space. Unexpectedly, Xia Sihan was willing to use the precious stream to entertain them, which shows Xia Sihan's respect for them. Li Jinyan also thought about asking Xia Sihan to give Tianxiang Fruit to General Liu, but he felt that it was too valuable and the General would definitely not accept it, but now Xia Sihan uses stream water to cook, although the effect is not as good as Tianxiang Fruit, but it can also benefit the general.
In this way, the general will not suspect anything. Thinking of this, Li Jinyan smiled, thinking that his daughter-in-law is smart!
The five of them were at the same table, and they ate happily and warmly, and those people would never have imagined that General Liu would be treated so warmly in the Li Mansion. Especially Xia An, he sent people from the past to guard the gate of the Li Mansion, and saw Li Jinyan, Xia Sihan and Li Mu with his own eyes, and personally sent the general and his wife out. The two families also made an appointment for the next meeting, and this kind of treatment will never appear in Cheyenne's place.
Seeing off the general and his wife, Xia Sihan saw that someone at the door was sneaky, so he asked the two servants to pull the person out of the alley and recognize that this was someone from Shangshufu.
"What are you doing sneakily in front of the mansion, who sent you?"
Xia Sihan said sharply, and the little man immediately knelt down in pain, and shouted: "Madam, the villain is a subordinate of Shangshu Mansion, my Shangshu Lord wants to come to visit, let the villain come over to inquire first, and see if the adult is in the mansion." He was frightened by the chill in Xia Sihan's eyes, and he didn't dare to lie at all.
"Really? Go back and tell your adults that Master Li is unwell and it is inconvenient to meet guests! ”
"But just ......" The man saw the fierceness in Xia Sihan's eyes and immediately changed his words: "The villain understands, understands!" ”
Xia Sihan waved his hand and asked the little guy to let him go, and the man ran away without looking back.
Li Jinyan saw that her face was ugly, afraid that she would be angry for Xia An, so he comforted: "Immediately ask Hu Bo to hang a sign with the words 'No visitors', so that you can be quiet, how about it?" ”
Xia Sihan shook his head, "Forget it, after all, there are still many friends who really want to come to see you, so you can't even see them, right?" ”
"That's true, but Lord Shangshu insists on coming, and we can't turn him away. There are so many people coming and going, those who know the inside story understand us, and those who don't know think that we are putting on a shelf, and even Lord Shangshu has to look at our faces. What's more, there are many people who know your relationship with him, and it is inevitable that they will say behind your back that you don't even care about your biological father. If your unfilial reputation reaches the emperor, maybe the queen will use this matter to make things difficult for you. ”
Hearing this, Xia Sihan stared at Li Jinyan, thinking that this man was really no longer the stupid hunter he was at the beginning, and his mind was so delicate and cautious that even she was ashamed of herself.
Xia Sihan chuckled: "Lord Shangshu has a lot of opportunities, and the affairs of the back house are enough for him to be busy, don't worry, he doesn't have time to come to us recently." Mother, let's go back and rest, thinking that in a few days the house will be much more lively. ”
Xia Sihan thought that the emperor's holy decree should be coming soon, and at the palace banquet, King Ning had already informed Jin Yan's life experience, as long as the holy decree arrived, the people who came to "congratulate" would be inevitable. Li Jinyan naturally knew it, but these people didn't have a deep relationship with him, and he really didn't want to have too much contact with them. But Xia Sihan doesn't think so, she still has to make money! Without these noble ladies, where would she go to earn money?
In the past few days, Xiao Jiu has been collecting news from Fengyue Tower, and Xia Sihan has accepted a lot of maids to come in, but they are all country girls with mediocre appearances and quick hands and feet.
This time, Wu Ma personally chose it, and her background is innocent, and there will never be someone like Mo Ju again. Xia Sihan signed the death deed from the first day they entered the courtyard, and these people naturally knew who had the final say in this house.
Li Jinyan was not idle when Xia Sihan rectified the inner house, and when he saw General Liu that day, he solved the problems for many days. Today, taking advantage of the early morning, Li Jinyan practiced his gun in the courtyard, and the wound on his arm had healed a lot.
Xia Sihan was boiling tea on the side and preparing hot water for him, and when King Ning walked in, he saw this scene, his lips were slightly hooked, this is what a loving couple looks like. Looking at the prince beside him, he sighed secretly in his heart, Zhang Yanran was scolded by the cane and brought back to the mansion. His father and son returned the dowry, and left according to the emperor's wishes, and now seeing this scene, the prince is very unhappy.
