Chapter 160: Uninvited guests are troublesome
Of course, if Wang Shishi came alone, the breeze would not be like that, Xu Jinfei secretly screamed in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he saw a young man in a blue robe walking in slowly, and the servant behind him was still carrying a large box and a small box, full of posture.
"Lord Chen?" Hua Manxi was a little surprised to see Chen Xiuli suddenly appear in Peach Blossom Village.
"Xu Gongzi, take the liberty to visit, a small courtesy, not a respect." Chen Xiuli instead set his eyes on Xu Jinfei first, made a gesture, and said politely and modestly.
The box is caged, others don't know, and they think he is hired! Also a small gift? However, stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Xu Jinfei naturally couldn't complain about the depression in his heart, so he could only get up and greet him: "Where is it, Lord Chen is coming to the cold house, and it is shining, and it is shining!" Manxi, take two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. ”
Before the words fell, a delicate voice came from the door: "Cousin Xiuli, why don't you wait for me!" The road to this ravine is too difficult to walk! You don't allow me to take people down, and you don't help me! ”
Everyone was attracted by this unique and pretentious voice, and they all looked towards the door, but saw a girl in this pink coat stumbling in to see what she had never seen before, so everyone looked at Chen Xiuli suspiciously. After all, her name was Chen Xiuli.
However, Chen Xiuli shook his head helplessly and set his eyes on Wang Shishi's face.
Wang Shishi laughed and said, "Add three sets of dishes and chopsticks, this is my uncle's cousin, and I have to come to Peach Blossom Village with us." ”
Fortunately, I made a lot of dumplings today, otherwise it would not be enough to eat.
Hua Manxi had to take three more dishes and chopsticks.
The girl who followed Wang Shishi was called Li Yuehui, the daughter of Wang Shishi's uncle, Wang Shishi's uncle was also a wealthy man, even more powerful than the Wang family, and there was an uncle who was a Zhizhou, so the Li family could be regarded as a local emperor.
The daughter of the Earth Emperor is naturally a little sick with a princess, and her temper is much more serious than that of Wang Shishi's eldest lady.
As soon as the dishes and chopsticks came up, Li Yuehui glanced at the venison on the table, and immediately frowned: "What is this?" Why is it so late in the morning? Full of meat? This dumpling is also minced with meat! This soup is also stewed with meat? If you eat like this, you'll get fat, cousin, look at you, you're a little rounder than the last time you came back from my house! ”
There is no girl who doesn't love beauty, Wang Shishi really put down the chopsticks in her hand when she heard this, lowered her head and pinched her arms, pinched her waist, and touched her cheeks and chin, looking like she couldn't wait to look at herself in a mirror.
But how fragrant is the venison in that bowl, and the steamed dumpling that Li Yuehui punctured, the venison in it is mixed with shiitake mushrooms, it looks oily and translucent, dipped in aged vinegar, it must be delicious! Not to mention if it's dipped in chili sauce! Eating dumplings without dipping them in chili sauce is soulless!
"Where can I get fat after eating a meal? No matter, I'm hungry, I want to eat! Wang Shishi fell to the ground and still didn't hold back, picked up the chopsticks again, and began to dip them in chili sauce and eat dumplings.
As soon as she took a bite, the hot dumplings were stained with the fragrance of hot sauce, the oily filling was delicious and delicious, and the spicy dumpling skin was flexible and delicious, and she couldn't stop.
There are also all kinds of venison on the table, fragrant, spicy, tender, and flavorful, all of which have various flavors, and each dish is very delicious.
"Cousin! This is venison, how can you eat so much, you really have to gain weight! Li Yuehui saw Wang Shishi eating happily, completely ignoring the image, and really remembered that less than half a year ago, she was still picking and choosing in her own house, disliking all kinds of meat, and the refreshing and delicious person who didn't have seafood was the same cousin as the person in front of her who was full of oil.
"If you don't eat, forget it, I want to eat, and when I'm full, I'll go to see the snow." Wang Shishi took out a handkerchief at random, wiped her mouth, and said to Li Yuehui.
Li Yue was very disgusted, she didn't agree with her cousin for the New Year to come to this place in the ravine, if it weren't for the fact that her cousin said that she wanted to discuss something, she wouldn't want to come over!
Look at the dishes on the table, except for a kimchi, full of meat, it is completely the nouveau riche way of eating, and now rich people pay attention to an elegant word when eating, how can there be so much meat.
It's so shiny, it doesn't taste much better, and she still doesn't want to eat it.
"Forget it, early in the morning, I don't eat such greasy, I heard that the coarse grains grown in the countryside are particularly good, get me a sweet potato porridge or pumpkin cup." Li Yuehui put down her chopsticks reservedly, and raised her eyes slightly to look at Xu Jinfei.
This landowner looks really good, but it's a pity that his status is so low, naturally he is not worthy of her identity, or Brother Xiuli, not only young and talented, handsome Sven, but also a son from Kyoto, I heard that his identity is not bad, she must climb Brother Xiuli, promote this family business, and see what the aunt's family still says about their family!
What if their family is a merchant? The merchant family can still win a good marriage, what if the second uncle is an official? She must find an in-law who is older than the second uncle's official!
However, Li Yuehui said it, but Xu Jinfei didn't seem to hear it, so he just took the dumplings and dipped them in the sauce and handed them to Hua Manxi's bowl.
In fact, he was more willing to hand it directly to his mouth, because he had done it when Hua Lanxiang went to deliver food to Uncle Zhao, but now that Hua Lanxiang has come out, he naturally doesn't dare to make a mistake.
"Ahem, cousin, why is your friend so rude? Didn't you hear me? Li Yuehui was left aside, it was nothing, after all, she didn't want to have too much contact with these rough people in the countryside, but Chen Xiuli was here, how could she lose face?
"I'm sorry, cousin, this son is not my friend, the cook next to him is my friend, we came to look for her, they are all sent under the fence, you know each other, you want to eat what you want to do yourself." Wang Shishi hasn't eaten venison for a long time, and this dumpling is really hearty.
Where did Li Yuehui think that her cousin, who has always had eyes on the top of her head, would become friends with a cook from a country house, I heard them say yesterday that Brother Xiuli came here to consult the cook! This- this-
But although she has a tricky temperament, she is not brainless, since Xiuli's brother and cousin both recognize her as friends, she can't say that people are bad to her face.
So Li Yuehui looked embarrassed for a moment, then smiled again and said, "This is Chef Hua, right?" I thought Chef Hua was a man, but I didn't want to be a girl of the same age, I heard my cousin say that your cooking skills are very good, so I took the liberty to come, I can't eat such a meaty thing, I don't know if I can bother you to cook me a bowl of porridge? This bracelet should be regarded as a gift for you. ”
As Li Yuehui spoke, she took off the bracelet in her hand and was about to hand it to Hua Manxi.
The smile on Hua Manxi's face suddenly froze a little, this way of rewarding subordinates was originally similar to modern tipping, and as a leader in the service industry, she was naturally accustomed to it.
But this Li Yuehui's attitude is too high, and even with an attitude of charity, if she works in a restaurant or her house, she can bear this breath, but on such a festive day, her mother and sweetheart are on the side, and Hua Manxiu still feels a faint sense of humiliation.
"I'm sorry, this young lady, I am Xu Gongzi's exclusive chef, I only cook for his family, and I don't take orders." She pushed the bracelet back untouched, and said in an indifferent and cold voice, "But since you are Miss Wang's friend, Xu Gongzi is not a stingy person, for Miss Wang's sake, you can sit down and eat, if it is not your appetite, you can also go to the kitchen to make it yourself, and the ingredients are optional." ”
Li Yuehui never expected that her overtures would be rejected! Rejected by a cook! Her bracelet is Hetian jade's! She's still a little reluctant!
Li Yuehui, who had never eaten such aggrieved anger, suddenly blushed, so angry that she turned her head and cried to Wang Shishi: "Cousin, you are really, you make friends with people of all religions and nine ranks!" It's just a cook! There is a master who has retired from the imperial dining room in my house, I will invite you over immediately, let's go back! ”
Wang Shishi used to be good friends with her because the two people had the same smell, but the difference between the two was that Wang Shishi had brains, and Li Yuehui obviously did not have her keen business sense and learning ability.
After getting along with Hua Manxi for a period of time, Wang Shishi's temperament has changed a lot, and the sharpness of the past pampering has also worn out most of it.
But after all, it is his own cousin, and he came all the way to celebrate the New Year, and he can't be inconsiderate, which makes his uncle's family cold-hearted, so the shrewd Miss Wang began to play a game of Tai Chi, and said: "Cousin Yuehui, if it is an ordinary cook, we will go away, but this matter is about my cousin's political achievements, and when he will return to Kyoto, we can't be so willful, since we are accompanying my cousin, don't make trouble for my cousin, besides, Chef Hua's skills are very good, that is, let you eat a bowl of rice, It's also better than the imperial food in your house, good, let's go out to play after eating. ”
Miss Wang's words are really a combination of grace and power, deceived and deceived, and she must not offend anyone.
Hua Manxi was impressed by her, but Li Yuehui was wronged in the end, and glanced at Chen Xiuli, who was elegantly using breakfast, and said aggrievedly: "It's me who is abrupt, I am rude." ”
However, Chen Xiuli also pretended to be confused, did not say a word, and only cared about eating.
Li Yuehui was even more angry, and poked a dumpling with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.
