Chapter 19 Will you agree to marry Yan'er to you?
Since it was not the first time to come, most of the family members in the general's mansion knew Zhang Xiaowu, and they were not too surprised by his arrival. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The two maids of Cui Ping and Custer were very impressed by Zhang Xiaowu, and they had also heard a little about him in the past few days, and their little faces smiled like flowers, and said with a smile: "Son, good!"
Zhang Xiaowu responded with an embarrassed smile and followed Ouyang Yan to the banquet hall.
The house prepared a dinner early, and the long dining table was full of dazzling dishes, and there were no less than 20 delicacies.
Ouyang Rong knew that Zhang Xiaowu loved to eat fish, so he specially invited a first-class master of fish cooking from Xijing City to cook 8 dishes of various fish dishes. Braised carp, steamed, stewed, boiled are all available, crucian carp, grass carp, sea bass, hairtail fish are all available.
Ouyang Rong sat at one end of the long table, smiling with a smile on his face, and when he saw Ouyang Yan and Zhang Xiaowu coming, he ordered the two to hurry up and sit down.
Ouyang Yan frowned and said, "Dad, why are there so many fish! Eating fish is the most troublesome! There are many thorns!"
Ouyang Rong said with a smile: "Xiao Wu is a guest from afar! As the host, we must always conform to the taste of the guest! Hahaha, isn't there your favorite sauce elbow here!"
Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Uncle Ouyang, such a love can torment the younger generation." ā
Ouyang Rong said: "Xiao Wu, you're welcome, just treat it as your own home, sit next to Yan'er, and start the table." ā
After Ouyang Rong moved the chopsticks first, the three of them began to eat.
I have to say that the chefs in Xijing City do have their own unique methods of cooking fish. Speaking of the simple boiled fish fillet, the white fish meat and the red pepper complement each other, and there is a layer of pepper oil floating on the surface, sandwiching a piece of fish, the taste is smooth and tender, oily but not greasy. It not only removes the fishy smell of the fish, but also keeps the fish fresh and tender. The full of chili peppers is bright and eye-catching, spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter.
The numbness was on the head, and the spicy was so enjoyable that Zhang Xiaowu's index finger moved, and he didn't pretend to be cowardly, and ate it generously.
Ouyang Yan'er's food is much better than Zhang Xiaowu's, only sitting on a third of the stool, her upper body is straight, and she gently sandwiches a little vegetable every time, chewing slowly and silently, which is very elegant.
Ouyang Rong smiled: "Xiao Wu, you eat that boiled fish, and then taste the chilled salmon fillet." ā
Chilled salmon is another flavor, which involves removing the bones and skin of fresh salmon, cutting the fish into 2 mm slices of the same size, arranging them in a flower shape and spreading them on crushed ice, and eating them raw in a sauce made of light soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and broth.
This dish is a dish that pays great attention to the chef's knife skills and the preparation of the sauce. Since it is eaten raw, it retains almost the original taste of the fish, and the freshness of the salmon is extremely demanding.
The fish meat is slightly cool, melts in the mouth, the meat is delicate and elastic, although it is eaten raw, there is no fishy smell, but it is full of fragrance.
Compared with the spicy fish fillet just now, this salmon fillet retains the most natural taste of the ingredients to the greatest extent, and each has its own characteristics.
"It's delicious!" Zhang Xiaowu praised!
"This dish is best eaten with sake," Ouyang Rong said.
Zhang Xiaowu took a small pot of sake handed by Ouyang Rong, poured a full glass, the wine was fragrant, and the entrance was soft and smooth.
The good wine and good food made Zhang Xiaowu addicted, and he clinked glasses with Ouyang Rong again and again, and the two sometimes talked loudly, sometimes laughing.
Ouyang Yan didn't eat much, and she didn't move her chopsticks after just a few bites of each dish, and sat quietly.
Ouyang Rong has profound skills, a huge amount of wine, and even drank a few glasses of noodles without changing color, and now he slowly poured a glass, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, what do you think of Yan'er?"
Zhang Xiaowu was shocked, and his slightly drunken drunkenness instantly sobered up halfway, speculating on the deep meaning of Ouyang Rong's words.
secretly glanced at Ouyang Yan, and saw that she was as quiet as a virgin, and she was like two people on weekdays.
didn't figure out what Ouyang Rong really meant, Zhang Xiaowu didn't dare to speak nonsense, and said with a slight hesitation: "Uncle Ouyang, Miss Ouyang... That's good!"
Ouyang Rong continued to ask: "What's the good?"
Zhang Xiaowu broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, scratched his head, sat upright, and said slowly: "Miss Ouyang is a very good girl, beautiful and cute. ā
Ouyang Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
Zhang Xiaowu continued: "The family is very well educated, I don't care about the opinions of others, and dare to be myself. Although she is a little more delicate at times, I think maybe it's because she's too lonely. ā
Ouyang Yan's heart was shocked, she couldn't imagine that Zhang Xiaowu knew herself so well.
Ouyang Rong smiled bitterly: "Yan'er, this child's mother died early, I am busy with official business, I almost don't have time to accompany her, she has taken care of herself since she was a child, and she blames me." ā
Thinking that his father and mother also left early, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and said: "I have lost my parents since I was a child, and I grew up with the help of my neighbors, and I can understand Miss Ouyang's mood best." ā
Ouyang Rong said slowly: "You two are hard-working children, Yan'er, what do you think of Xiao Wu?"
Ouyang Yan was shocked, but she didn't expect her father to turn to ask herself, her little face turned red in an instant, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing Ouyang Rong looking at him with a smile on his face, Ouyang Yan finally mustered up her courage and said slowly: "When I first saw him, he looked like a beggar, but in a blink of an eye, he turned into a handsome and noble son, which surprised me. Later, when I saw him leading a girl, I felt very uncomfortable. Later, when I heard that he was enrolled in school with full scores, I was surprised again, and I couldn't help but start paying attention to him. Dad, I heard that he had a marriage contract, and I felt so uncomfortable. ā
Ouyang Yan pouted, and brought out the bits and pieces after meeting Zhang Xiaowu.
Ouyang Rong was silent for a while, sighed lightly, and said to Zhang Xiaowu: "I heard that you kissed Yan'er?"
Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Ouyang, that incident was definitely an accident, I didn't want Miss Ouyang to get hurt! I really didn't mean to!"
Ouyang Rong asked, "Then do you like Yan'er?"
Zhang Xiaowu almost jumped up from the stool in shock, he didn't know how to open his mouth for this question, and he had all kinds of scruples, saying that he didn't like it, and he didn't like it.
Ouyang Rong saw that Zhang Xiaowu was silent, and asked Ouyang Yan again, "Yan'er, do you like Xiaowu?"
Ouyang Yan had expected her father's **** to her, clenched her pink fist, deeply forgot to glance at Zhang Xiaowu, and nodded heavily.
Zhang Xiaowu saw Ouyang Yan admit so generously, his heart was both happy and worried, since the girl had already expressed her position, she couldn't twist it anymore, so she had to say: "I admit that I like Miss Ouyang in my heart, but..."
Before he finished speaking, General Ouyang waved his hand to interrupt, there was no smile on his face, and he said: "Not so much, but, I only ask, will Yan'er be married to you, do you agree?"
