Xia Li heard Xia Shan say before that only the eldest uncle Zeng Lizhuo, the second girl Zeng Qingqing, and the fourth master Zeng Lizhang are concubines, and the eldest girl who has been married, as well as the second master and the third master, are all concubines. At this dinner, all the descendants of the Zeng family appeared.

Xia Li started to do Mao Xuewang again, this time she spoke more carefully, and she always looked at her without blinking. He wondered if he had done the same before.

Mao Xuewang was ready for people to serve, and Xia Li continued to make fish ball soup. Hold the meat by hand and squeeze the minced meat out of the tiger's mouth to form round balls, which are scooped into the opened broth. Put the uncut raw coriander into two soup pots with red porcelain and white flowers, pour in the prepared fish ball soup, and put a few raw coriander.

The milky white soup, with a little green white fish balls, a few floating "aquatic plants", and the fresh aroma of fish mixed with the special taste of coriander, immediately makes people's stomach buds open.

Lao Xiang was very sorry that he only paid attention to Mao Xuewang's practice just now, but he didn't pay attention to the practice of this fish ball soup. If the uncle likes it, he has to ask the little girl again.

He smiled, "My old lady and lady heard that Miss Xia is capable, and they all want to meet you." You go with the girl who serves the food to meet them. ”

Xia Li also wanted to see Ye Feng's reaction to eating this fish ball, or rather, she just wanted to meet Ye Feng. I happily agreed.

Xia Li followed the girl into the upper room, and there were two tables in the hall, Ye Feng, Zeng Daren, Liu Changzhao, and a young man who was nearly twenty years old at one table, and the other table sat an old lady in her fifties, a middle-aged beauty in her thirties, Zeng Qingqing, and Zeng Lizhang.

As soon as Xia Li entered the house, he was dragged between the old lady and Mrs. Zeng by the girl named Xiaomei, and said with a smile, "Old lady, madam, this is the little girl Xia who makes ice powder." ”

Zeng Lizhang said, "She not only made ice powder, but also made Mao Xuewang, and she is also an archer." "Xiao Zhengtai likes this girl more and more.

The old lady and Mrs. Zeng both like to be light, and like to eat ice powder, but they don't like to eat red and bright hairy blood. Mrs. Zeng only tasted half a piece of duck blood, and the old lady didn't even taste it.

The old lady first laughed and scolded Zeng Lizhang, "Little monkey, you know how to eat." He smiled at Xia Li again, "Poor Jian'er, I didn't expect such a handsome little lady to be able to cook, and she actually shoots arrows so well......"

Xia Li's angle from the station was just facing away from Ye Feng, and he couldn't do anything in a hurry, so he bent his knees and smiled at the old lady, "The old lady has talked about it." In our country, girls start to learn to do housework with their families from a few years old, and a girl my age cooks for the whole family. As for archery, because my grandfather was a hunter, he taught me when he saw that I liked it......"

Master Zeng at the other table said with a smile, "Miss Xia is too modest, your skills are very good, and even the chef can't compare to these dishes." He smiled at the old lady again, "Mother, try that fish ball, it's really different." ”

Xia Li looked back at the other table, Ye Feng was slowly tasting the fish balls intently, with satisfaction and satisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't see his curiosity about the vegetable cook.

It seems that he is not Ye Feng in his previous life.

Although she has repeatedly done psychological construction for herself before, there is a person in this world who has the same face, the same name, and the same voice as Ye Feng, she should be grateful.

However, she still couldn't stop being disappointed......

She turned around with her head down, her hands clenching her skirt tightly to keep herself from losing her temper too much.

Fortunately, at this time, the masters were all tasting fish balls, and the subordinates were serving the masters attentively, and no one paid attention to Xia Li.

The girl scooped a small half bowl of soup with fish balls into the old lady's bowl, and the old lady ate the fish balls and drank the soup before raising her head and laughing, "Fresh!" This is the most different fish ball I have ever eaten in my life. ”

Mrs. Zeng also smiled, "It is indeed delicious and has a special taste." ”

Liu Changzhao said, "But I think Mao Xuewang is the most delicious." ”

Mrs. Zeng said with a smile, "Young people like to eat with heavy tastes, and we old people prefer light food." ”

The old lady looked at Xia Li again and said, "Good boy, it's hard for you to come here to make these two dishes for us, it's very good." ”

A girl handed over a purse.

In front of "Ye Feng", Xia Li was unwilling to be inferior to others to take the reward, but he still took it and thanked him with a bent knee.

Xiaomei took her out of the hall room again and went to the back room for dinner. Before leaving, she seemed to look around the room unintentionally, and saw Ye Feng scooping fish ball soup with a spoon to drink, with a satisfied face.

Xia Li suppressed the tears in his eyes, and he didn't know when he would see him again.

In the back room, Xia Shan, Uncle Xiang, and Ye Jin were drinking in a room, and Xia Li was taken to another room, with four dishes and one soup on the table, accompanied by Xiaomei and another girl.

As a country girl, Xia Li's treatment here is really good.

Xia Li didn't have a bit of an appetite, so it could be said that he didn't know the taste of food, so he had to eat with them with a smile.

After the meal, Uncle Xiang and a cook from Zeng's Mansion came to learn from Xia Li to make coriander fish ball soup, saying that Lord Ye and the old lady and Mrs. liked it very much.

Xia Liqiang cheered up and said that it was best to use catfish, grouper and other fish with more flesh and less spines, and it happened that there were live catfish in the house, so he took one. Xia Li explained while doing it, especially talking about several key places.

The fish balls made were eaten by Lao Xiang and Ye Li, and they were very fragrant.

After teaching, Xiaomei took a purse and handed it to Xia Li, saying that it was rewarded by her wife. Xia Li knew that this must be the money to "buy" the formula. The official's wife is high up and wants to say "reward".

Xiaomei pursed her lips and laughed again, pointed to the two horses held by a little girl and said, "This is given by the second girl of my family, she likes Miss Xia's coolness very much, and said that she looks forward to seeing you again in the future." ”

Then, Xiaomei took a brocade box from a girl and said, "This is a gift from the fourth master of my family, he admires Miss Xia's archery skills very much, and said that he will find a chance to play at your house in the future." ”

Xia Li expressed his gratitude and welcome.

In any case, the kindness of a wealthy family like the Zeng family to her, a small peasant girl, is sufficient. Compared with those who have taken advantage of the people, but also feel that everything should be done, it is too strong.

Ye Li also took a purse to Xia Li, and said with a smile, "My uncle likes that fish ball very much, this is the money to 'buy' the recipe." ”

He specifically emphasized the word "buy".

It's a bouish, not a reward.

Xia Li was a little stunned, the wording this time was different from the first time she did Mao Xuewang, and she didn't understand the intention of that Ye Feng. She was 100% sure that this Ye Feng was definitely not the other Ye Feng, why did he change her so much?

After thinking about it, he felt that his superb archery skills must have won his appreciation and respect, and the general loved talent. It was Zeng Qingqing and Zeng Lizhang who showed her so much because she shot the Jinpan python and captured the sunbird alive.
