Chapter 119: Surprise Banquet
After doing this, Cheng Shuiyao didn't stop to do other things.
Four happy balls, exquisite colorful balls, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled shrimp.........
One dish after another is laid out, and various flavors are mixed together to create a mouth-watering aroma.
"Let's live!" Cheng Shuiyao ceremoniously withdrew his hand and served out the last dish.
At this time, the time was almost up, and the hall outside was full of people, and all kinds of laughter were endless.
"Let's serve," Cheng Shuiyao counted the numbers, clapped his hands with satisfaction, and looked up at the shopkeeper.
"Yes," the shopkeeper nodded, and immediately ordered someone to serve the food.
"Ma'am, shall we go back now?" Xiao Yun wiped the sweat from Cheng Shuiyao's forehead and spoke with an inquiring expression.
"No need," Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, looked down and sniffed her clothes, choking on the smell of oil smoke.
Fortunately, she was prepared.
Cheng Shuiyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and ordered someone to prepare water in the room upstairs exclusive to the Xiao family.
Outside the house, the guests who came to the banquet couldn't help but admire the exquisite dishes.
Fu Jucheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, looked at everyone's reaction, and was extremely happy in his heart, feeling quite face-saving, and it was in vain that he spent a lot of money on his wallet to go here.
"When I came here before, why didn't I see the food so good?"
"Yes, the last time I came, although I ordered the balls, the balls were not as good as today's."
Everyone was eating, admiring, but also sensing that something was wrong.
"It's not a secret, today's dish is cooked by our host's wife herself," the shopkeeper saw that the time was almost up, so he smiled and opened his mouth to lead out Cheng Shuiyao.
"Mrs. Proprietor? It's a great workmanship. ”
"Isn't it, I just don't know if we can see the lady of the owner?"
As soon as everyone heard this, they instantly became interested, and they all opened their mouths, wanting to see Cheng Shuiyao.
"Everyone, don't be impatient," the shopkeeper waved his hand and said with a smile, "In order to celebrate the happy event of Master Fu's family, our lady of the host family has also prepared a surprise for everyone, and we are preparing it at the moment." ”
"Then we have a good mouth," a minister laughed, and turned his head to look at Fu Jucheng, "Lord Fu is so blessed, we have never tasted the food cooked by this lady before." ”
Fu Jucheng waved his hand, laughed a few words, and temporarily exposed the topic.
But this expectation has been mobilized.
The shopkeeper smiled, and seeing that the atmosphere here was almost mobilized, he hurriedly walked to the back and waved his hand to Xiaoyun.
"Alright." Xiaoyun hurriedly entered the door, looked at Cheng Shuiyao, who was dressed in red in front of the table, and said with a smile.
"Then let's go. Cheng Shuiyao nodded, carefully put on her veil, and walked out.
The bell on the sleeve shook gently, and when Cheng Shuiyao entered the hall, everyone's attention attracted her.
"This is Madame?" Everyone looked at Cheng Shuiyao, who had a graceful figure, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Hello adults." Cheng Shuiyao saluted slightly, and a pair of good-looking eyes blinked lightly.
Through the veil, I can vaguely see that her face is extraordinarily gorgeous.
"This is not ......" An adult suddenly spoke up, and glanced at Cheng Shuiyao again, with hesitation in his eyes.
Isn't it, my makeup is so thick that you can still recognize it?
Cheng Shuiyao's heart tightened, thinking that the other party had discovered her true identity.
Unexpectedly, the adult didn't find out the truth at all, took a sip of wine by himself, and turned his head to look at the subordinate on the side.
Slightly relieved, Cheng Shuiyao raised her eyes again and smiled at everyone, "I wonder if today's dishes are still to your liking?" ”
"Madame's craftsmanship is really wonderful," one of the guests exclaimed, and then said with a smile, "Seeing Madame like this, she should be a beauty, why don't you take off the veil and let us have a glimpse of it?" ”
Want to see your face?
Cheng Shuiyao was not surprised by this, but of course she would not agree.
The people present were all high-ranking officials, and there were many people who participated in the previous palace banquet, and if she took off her veil, there was a high probability of being recognized.
If everyone knows that General Xiao is still running such a restaurant that is making money every day, it will definitely be rumors, and it will be difficult for Xiao Ji to do it at that time.
Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Shuiyao smiled lightly and said, "You are here for the banquet today, if I take off the veil, it will surprise everyone, and it will be bad to provoke everyone's mood at that time." ”
"This ......"
Hearing him say this, there was suddenly more hesitation in the eyes of the ministers.
There are a lot of women who only have good-looking faces in the upper half of the face, and when I hear the meaning of Mrs. Dongjia, I think that she is also in this situation, and everyone's thoughts on exploration are suddenly less.
"Since Madame has concerns, then there is no need to take off the veil, and we are not the ones who force people, but I don't know what the surprise of the shopkeeper said before is?" Fu Jucheng didn't make it too difficult, and gently exposed the matter, not wanting to pursue it at all.
He was not a womanizer, and he didn't care at all about what this mysterious shopkeeper lady looked like, but was a little curious about the surprise he had said before.
"Then everyone, take a look," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, and immediately clapped her hands.
Three mermaids with dishes rushed in and opened the dishes in front of them in turn.
"I wish your son carefree, I wish your son Bingxue is smart, and I wish your son Fuhui double cultivation," Cheng Shuiyao said with a light smile, looking at the three dishes beside him, "These are Yuxiang Dongpo elbows, Yuyan Guangbelly black chicken soup, and assorted six-flavor dishes, everyone take a look." ”
With that, Cheng Shuiyao gently flipped open the elbow, revealing the other side that had been carefully carved.
A happy word is both delicate and small, and it looks very timely.
"It's wonderful, I've never heard this kind of explanation, and today is really an eye-opener!"
"Madame really has a heart."
"I'm going to hold a banquet in this restaurant when I go back!"
Everyone didn't expect her to have such ingenuity, and in addition to admiration, there was also a little more joy in their eyes.
I didn't think this place was any different from other restaurants before, but when I saw it today, I realized that they had underestimated it before.
Needless to say, this kind of food with all the color and aroma alone is not comparable to other restaurants, not to mention the elaborate design of this mysterious owner's wife.
"Thank you." Fu Jucheng gave up his hand, and the smile on his face was about to overflow.
He didn't expect there to be so many surprises here, but now it is an eye-opener, and it really gives him a lot of face.
"The surprise has been delivered, then I won't bother you, the restaurant will be repaired for some time in the near future, and when it opens again, please come here,"
Cheng Shuiyao bowed slightly, took the etiquette very well, and said the words he had prepared.
Of course, she has been busy for so long for a purpose, and the purpose is to use today's banquet to make a name for herself.
