Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 364 No matter how high the status is, it is also a human being

"Hiccup!"

Before Zhou Nian could speak, Hu Youde next to him took the lead in burping.

He was not full of food, but he was angry with Sun Baiyang's words, and he didn't pour his breath.

The lesson of the previous car, the teacher of the rear car, Sun Baiyang obviously wants to follow his old path, at first he only said that he tasted it, but as soon as he ate it in his mouth, he would be out of control, this trick was all left over from Hu Youde's play, how could he not know?

"Ahem......"

straightened out his chest and coughed lightly, Hu Youde just slowed down, and he came up angry, pointing at Sun Baiyang's nose and saying, "You also deserve to eat? Is it easy for the master to make some dishes, Master Yan hasn't tasted it fresh yet, where is your concern? I'll tell you the truth, no one is allowed to move the rest of the pot, this is for the old men, if anyone dares to move, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

Sun Baiyang was angry when he heard this, and muttered, "You...... You're full of food and drink, and you eat your own meat, and we can't even drink a mouthful of soup after you, this is your human nature?

"What? You old boy dare to scold me for being unkind?"

"I ...... Where I have it, it's just a matter of facts. Sun Baiyang shrank his head in fright, although he wanted to drink a bowl, he was afraid of Hu Youde after all.

"Grass, you dare to talk back, see if I don't beat you!"

Hu Youde was in a hurry, and he stretched out his hand to hit, but before the slap hit Sun Baiyang's face, he was suddenly blocked by Zhou Nian beside him.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, Zhou Nian really didn't want to listen to these two old boys talking here, and shouted in a low voice, "Hey, do you two want to fight or solve the trouble in front of you? If you two don't want to make a difference, I will accompany you, and see which of us can consume whom! Anyway, it wasn't me who was beaten in the end, so I hung it!"

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Youde suddenly opened his mouth in a panic.

No matter how confused he is, at least he has to have a view of the overall situation, and being reminded by Zhou Nian like this, he can distinguish the priorities of things.

"Don't don't, master, I'm wrong, I listen to you, let's serve the food first? ”

Zhou Nian suddenly glanced at him, and said coldly, "Hmph, I can't be angry with you, anyway, I've already made the dishes, you can do it yourself!"

"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, let's serve, let's serve first, hehe......"

Laughing, Hu Youde didn't dare to waste time anymore, after all, Master Yan was still waiting, he couldn't be lazy, and glared at Sun Baiyang fiercely, which meant something like "You remember for me, let's settle this account later!" and something like that, he hurriedly picked up the pot on the stove, snorted forward, and said happily, "Hehe, master, let's go now?"

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. ”

Zhou Nian snorted lightly, and then followed Hu Youde towards the living room.

......

In the past, the dishes were served one plate after another, like Hu Youde, who directly brought the pot into the living room, this is the first time in history, it is fresh and hot, and it will inevitably attract many onlookers around them, and they are all stunned, and they don't know the reason.

"Hey, did you see it? Steward Hu actually brought all the pots in, which one did he get out?"

"Hey, who knows, I must have made some new things again, I want to show off in front of the master, and deliberately show off. ”

"Shhh...... Why do I smell so good? What the hell is this dish?"

"Well, I smell it too, it's really fragrant, it smells like fish. ”

"Tsk, what he brought in, shouldn't it be catfish stewed eggplant?"

"Hmm...... Listening to you say that, it's really quite similar. ”

There are people with smart noses, and they can smell the specific dishes at once, the clown is in the hall, and the master is in the people, which is not false at all.

Hu Youde led Zhou Nian through the corridors, holding the pot with both hands and his head held high, just like a mighty general, the pot of food became the trophy in his hand, showing off all the time.

When she was about to arrive at the door of the living room, a little maid was quite eye-catching, and seeing Hu Youde's inconvenient posture, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Steward Hu, the master is waiting inside, leave it to me." ”

Hu Youde shook his head, "No, I'll just bring it in myself, and you can help me open the curtain." ”

"Oh, yes. ”

When the little maid heard this, she hurriedly did so, stretched out her hand to open the curtain, and directly put Zhou Nian and Hu Youde in.

"Catfish stewed eggplant, come on!"

As soon as he entered the door, Hu Youde shouted at the top of his voice, just like the shopkeeper in the restaurant, and walked to the main table with a smile on his face.

Zhou Nian followed behind him, looked up at the figure sitting at the main table, and his heart suddenly tightened.

There were nine people sitting at the main table, in addition to Nan Siqi and Yan Zhiqiu, poetry and painting, white drawing, and Yan Qingsha were also among them, and the remaining one was a young man about thirty years old.

The most maverick is none other than him.

He wore a loose black robe, and there was a hat on the black robe, although it was at the banquet, but he didn't put the hat down, he didn't say much, drank by himself, rarely communicated with people, occasionally said a few words, and only whispered to Yan Zhiqiu, always with a straight face, as if he was out of the way, and he was not interested in anything.

As soon as Zhou Nian entered the door, he gently swept him with a mysterious and complicated gaze, and saw that the other party was just a poor sour boy in coarse linen clothes, and there was nothing special about it, so he lost interest at the moment.

"Bump!"

Serving the pot to the main table, Hu Youde stepped aside very interestingly, with a happy smile on his face, completely holding back the reward.

"Huh, what is this? Even the pot is served, it's too exaggerated, hahaha......"

Among the guests, the person who had the most problems and spoke most directly was Chen Hua, who laughed at the first one as soon as he saw the pot of dishes.

The voice was very loud, not shy at all, after Yan Zhiqiu heard it, his face suddenly fell, and his face was somewhat unbearable, and he glared at Hu Youde next to him fiercely, and reprimanded in a low voice, "There are no rules! Where do you serve food like this? How do I usually teach you, you take my words as a deaf ear?"

"Huh?"

Hu Youde was stunned, he didn't expect such a result at all.

He was still holding back his strength and waiting to receive the reward, but when Yan Zhiqiu scolded him like this, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and said in his heart, "It's broken, it's too proud, it's really a lack of consideration to serve the pot directly, it's really a mistake, a mistake!"

"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you hurry up?" Seeing that Hu Youde only cared about training but forgot the rules, Yan Zhiqiu suddenly became a little annoyed, and shouted again.

"Forehead ......"

After blinking his eyes a few times, Hu Youde finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Master, the small one is wrong, and the party is the small recklessness, which loses the dignity of our Yan family, but the small one does it for a reason, I hope the old man will see it." ”

"Mingcha?" When Yan Zhiqiu heard this, the chopsticks in his hand suddenly put down, and his voice said coldly, "Hmph, tell me about the reason, I can give you a chance, if you don't say it well, you know the consequences!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the little one will say it now. Hu Youde nodded like a chicken pecking rice, coughed lightly a few times to moisten his throat, and explained seriously, "Master, distinguished guests, in fact, this dish is made by the local celebrity chef Master Zhou, the taste is extremely delicious, and the food is unforgettable...... The reason why I brought the pot was for the sake of a few people, I was afraid that you would not be able to hold it when you eat, and there would be a rush to rob it, and when the time came, it would ...... When the time comes, I am afraid that it will be undignified and mess up the rules that should be there, so I ...... I'm just ......"

"Oh, listen to what you mean, can we still fight for food?" raised his eyebrows slightly, and the person who found fault was naturally Chen Hua.

Hu Youde was so frightened that he shrank his neck, he didn't know much about Chen Hua, but he was afraid of Yan Zhiqiu on the main seat, and he always felt a little unkind when he looked at the other party's eyes, so he swallowed his saliva vigorously and muttered in a low voice, "This ...... This guest, small doesn't mean that, this dish is really delicious, I'm just afraid ......"

"Oh, you're afraid we're going to rob you in a hurry, aren't you?"

"Huh?"

Where is Hu Youde's opponent of Chen Hua, he was choked half to death by the other party in three sentences or two, if this situation is someone else, he will naturally not take into account the dignity of the other party, and he will definitely nod and say yes, but now he has encountered some Yan Zhiqiu who have to give three points of hard stubble, and if he says a wrong word, he will offend people, so he naturally does not dare to make a conclusion.

"Hahaha......"

However, Hu Youde didn't say anything, but Chen Hua didn't let him go, as if he grabbed the handle of the Yan family at once, he laughed wildly, and after a few seconds, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Zhiqiu, and said, "Master Yan, your mansion is really full of talents, and there are many talents, and a little housekeeper dares to underestimate us like this, but I don't know how much is our Nansiqi worth in Master Yan's heart?"

This question is too in-depth, Chen Hua is completely using the topic to play, and through a little butler to test Yan Zhiqiu's attitude towards them Nan Siqi, the other party is caught off guard!

Yan Zhiqiu's face was slightly red when he heard this, if the occasion didn't allow it, he would have slapped Hu Youde in the heart now.

His reason was too hasty, but instead of giving the words back, he was grabbed by Chen Hua, adding fuel to the fire, and he was simply a pig-like teammate!

The frowning brows stretched slightly, Yan Zhiqiu was also an old oilman who had been in the world for a long time, although Chen Hua's question was sharp, it was not difficult for him at all, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile, " Hehe, Mr. Chen is really joking, even if our Hu housekeeper eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he doesn't dare to underestimate you Nan Siqi, what he is worried about is limited to his identity level, he is from a poor family, of course, he has not eaten much delicacies from the mountains and seas, saying that we will rob for this dish, that is he has not seen the world, it is countless, if Mr. Chen is concerned with him, it is really self-lowering your identity, lowering your taste, as for the status of Nan Siqi you said in my heart, of course, it is a long admiration of the name, double respect, today can drink with a few strange people, talk and laugh about the past and the present, it is really the blessing of the next life, hehe, Mr. ChenI'll toast you first!"

Yan Zhiqiu raised his wine glass after speaking, glanced at Chen Hua, and then drank it all.

"Hmph!

said coldly in his heart, although Chen Hua didn't get a bargain, he couldn't lose the etiquette he should have, slowly picked up the wine glass, and drank it a little unhappily.

Seeing this, Yan Zhiqiu's face showed a hint of pride, hugged his fists towards the others, and laughed softly, "Hehe, everyone, let's not mention the episode just now, since my housekeeper said that this dish is very delicious, then don't be polite, let's try it?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the other guests all looked at the dish in the pot and wanted to taste it, but they didn't move their chopsticks.

This is not because they are polite, but just now Hu Youde broke a fierce sentence, saying that this dish will be uncontrollable if you taste it, and they will lose their hearts, and it is really difficult to get off the chopsticks.

Besides, the owner didn't taste it, so where did the others lick their faces and eat it?

"Huh?"

Seeing that everyone only watched and didn't eat, Yan Zhiqiu reacted quickly, first picked up the chopsticks and set an example, only grabbed a piece of eggplant and threw it into his mouth.

He rarely eats meat, after all, his family is well-off, and everyone who eats big fish and meat is about to vomit, and he eats vegetables all for the sake of making a show, so that other people can put on chopsticks.

"Huh, this tastes ......."

However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat, as soon as he eats, his face immediately changes!

One word - incense!

Two words - it smells so good!

A thought popped up in my heart - my good boy, Hu Youde, this dog minion didn't lie, it's really delicious!

These words sound like a small person in the market, and he will naturally not say it if he loses his identity as a rich man.

But although he can't say it, his hands are quite honest, and his typical mouth is straight, after the first chopsticks go down, he can't care about others, and quickly continues the second chopsticks.

"Oh, my mother......! How can this be so delicious? I haven't eaten anything in Yan Zhiqiu's life, why is this dish ......?"

He kept muttering in his heart, after all, he is also a human being, and if he wants to eat whole grains, it is inevitable that there will be some straightforward and clichΓ©d truths!

"Hmmm......"

One chopstick after another, his hand couldn't stop, and such a strange appearance made the other guests around him curious.

His brows furrowed together, and Chen Huatou sensed that something was wrong, and said in his heart, "It's weird, how can this old boy eat endlessly? Could it be that delicious? No, I have to taste it!"

Having made up his mind, Chen Hua also moved his chopsticks.

"Ahh

Just like a tiger eating meat, he was not as reserved as Yan Zhiqiu ate, he reached out and grabbed a piece of quite large catfish meat and threw it into his mouth, and chewed it.

"Shhh...... This taste...... Oh no, this ...... This catfish meat doesn't have any stingers, oh my God, how is this done?"

After tasting only one piece, Chen Hua was suddenly stunned, chewing on the fish in his mouth, enjoying the intoxicated expression like being in the clouds, as if he was about to fly.

"Oops, oops, that guy didn't lie, this dish is delicious......! Look at the amount of this dish, this pot is not enough to divide at all, no, I can't control others, I need to eat more!"

Chen Hua was also conquered, and suddenly had a ghost idea in his heart, one chopstick after another kept clamping, the speed was twice that of Yan Zhiqiu, he was not too hot!

"Huh, why are they ......?"

Seeing Yan Zhiqiu and Chen Hua madly swept over the catfish stewed eggplant, no matter how stupid the others were, they could see a little bit of the cattiness, and picked up the chopsticks one by one and followed closely behind, without showing weakness, for fear that it would be gone if it was too late, and went straight to the iron pot.

"Hiss......"

"This ......"

"Wow!"

......

After tasting it, all of us have a very subtle psychological change, which can be summed up in one point, that is, delicious!

It's so delicious, it's just a mouthful, and the aftertaste is endless!

What rich and poor, princes and generals, after all, are still mortal fetuses, and they can't escape the word "eat".

Being able to eat is a blessing, and being able to eat delicious food is a greater blessing, as the so-called eating crab is speechless, but the catfish stewed eggplant in front of you has obviously done this.

"Hehe, let's eat, let's eat, the happier you eat, the more your face hurts, who let you wronged me before, look at your unproductive appearance, you are still noble, and the strong call yourself strong, I bah!

Seeing that the guests had a tendency to rob, Hu Youde on the side finally "got the snow of grievances", raised his eyebrows, and the grievances he had just suffered were completely released, even if he didn't stand up and say that what he had in his hands was the truth, but at this time silence was better than sound.

"Ahem, that, Steward Hu, is there anything else?"

The first person who felt that the food was not enough was naturally Yan Zhiqiu, after all, as the head of the Yan family, what he paid attention to was a matter of face, if there was an empty plate on the banquet table, it would mean that his etiquette was not good and he neglected the guests.

Although it is shameful to waste, it is more humiliating than shameful to empty the plate, because it is related to the face of large families, and it is not easy to say or listen to it when it is spread, and it seems that he is too stingy.

As soon as these words came out, Hu Youde suddenly snickered and said in his heart, "Hmph, you remembered me now, why did you go earlier? I warned you in advance, but you don't believe it, this time smashing the pot, right?"

Although he thought so in his heart, he still had to count on the Yan family to live, so naturally he would not say these words, and his face changed slightly, so he acted as a question, "Master, I'm really sorry, I have done so much, and I really don't have it." ”

"What? No...... Nope?"

Yan Zhiqiu's face suddenly turned cold, although he looked reproachful, but his hands were not idle, he felt panicked when he ate less chopsticks, and for the first time he was still chewing something in his mouth when he reprimanded people, and said vaguely, "I...... I said, how do you become a housekeeper? Butler and housekeeper, naturally, you want to help me take care of the big and small affairs in the family, if not, just do it, why are you still stunned here? Do you still need me to order this thing personally? Hurry up and let the chef surnamed Zhou make another pot, right...... Let's make two more pots, one pot is enough for me. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Hua, who was sitting opposite, suddenly raised his head, and was polite to Yan Zhiqiu for the first time, "Wait, Master Yan, if you don't make five pots, I don't think two pots may be enough." ”

"Huh?"

Yan Zhiqiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "Well, Mr. Chen is reasonable, butler, you just do what Mr. Chen wants, I will be rewarded for doing a good job!"

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Youde's heart suddenly chuckled, and his face was like a wilted eggplant, and he looked at Zhou Nian very aggrievedly.
