131. 131 Opening of the Birthday Feast
"Musk Yue, what are you foolish about fetching water there?" Yun Jiye personally chased after him, and took the bucket in Musk Yue's hand, and said urgently: "That dish needs high-quality well water to cook sweet and refreshing, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the daylily is going to be cold!"
"Oops, I'm distracted, so I'm delayed, look at my memory......" Musk Moon apologized as she walked to the kitchen with Yun Jiye.
Today, when we wait until evening, it will be an auspicious time. Yun Ji Ye personally cooked, and wanted to make one hundred and eight Manchu and Han full banquets for his ancestors. The dishes are so complex and the ingredients are so expensive that they are busy from the morning.
"Eldest Miss, Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Third Miss, Fourth Miss, Didn't Come, Didn't Miss?" Musk Yue asked curiously, standing beside Yun Jiye and chopping vegetables. In the entire kitchen, only Murong Xinrui and the eight cooks, housekeepers, and servants of the Yun family were helping Yun Ji Ye Ye, and I didn't see those young masters and young ladies coming at all.
Yun Jiye quipped: "The fourth lady is still crying at the grave, you asked her to help, aren't you afraid that she will be poisoned in anger?"
When Musk Yue heard this, she glanced at Yun Ji Ye with disgust, and said superstitiously: "Miss, you can't say such unlucky things on this auspicious day, be careful that trouble comes from the mouth and the illness comes from the mouth......"
Yun Ji Ye "poofed" for a while, and reached out to point the powder of Musk Yue. made Musk Yue have flour, and said with a smile: "Your words are even more unlucky, hahaha......"
Not to be outdone, Musk Moon took the flour to sprinkle the clouds and kill the night, and played a flour war with the clouds in the kitchen. For a time, many cooks, servants and servants suffered.
"Night, don't make trouble...... In another hour, your second uncle will send the ancestor over, you still have to go to meet you, it's too late to cook, and you still have the leisure to mess around!" Murong Xinrui raised her head and counted the clouds and nights reproachfully, with both pity and helplessness in her eyes.
"I know my mother's ......" Yun Jiye immediately stopped chasing with Musk Yue, readily agreed to Murong Xinrui, playfully stuck out his tongue, and glanced at Musk Yue, so that they all seriously guarded themselves and cooked.
"Miss, the ancestor is here in advance, please go to the front hall to meet you......" Green Silk didn't know when, standing at the door of the kitchen like a ghost. He walked lightly, and even his voice was melodious, as if full of resentment.
Looking at Green Silk's resentful tone and eyes, Yun Jiye couldn't help but shudder. It's only been two days, and I don't know who has beaten this green silk in the Yun family, and the eyes of a resentful woman.
"Got it, I'll go now, you wait for me......" Yun Jiye still nodded and said to Green Silk.
"Yes, Miss......" Green Silk squatted down in place and saluted. Even when he stood up, his face was always lowered, and he had no intention of lifting up.
Murong Xinrui and Musk Yue washed their hands, and went to the front hall to see the ancestor together with Yun Jiye.
In the front hall, they saw that it was already full of people from the Yun family. There are a total of ten tables in the hall, which are arranged for the Yun family and important guests to sit. And the ninety tables outside the hall were arranged for some ordinary relatives of the Yun family, as well as some ordinary guests.
It is also the blessing of dragging the clouds and killing the night, this old ancestor can have such a big pomp, sitting at a hundred tables, and nearly a thousand people come to celebrate his 80th birthday. Thanks to Yun Jiye's victory in the Chef God Competition, the Yun family became famous in the imperial capital overnight. Almost everyone knows that the dishes of the Yun family are delicious. Even if you don't know your ancestors, you hope to come over and rub rice and tea and taste the skills of the first chef.
"You are the daughter of the old family, Yun Ji Ye?" came the old ancestor's voice.
Yun Jiye was in front of the old ancestor, raised his head slightly and replied: "Yes, I am the night killer, the old ancestor is blessed and safe, and he lives a long life...... and he is a hundred years old."
The old ancestor was wearing a festive red dress, and at the age of eighty, her face was covered with black-brown old age spots, and her face was crawling with heavy wrinkles, and the wrinkles on her face were thick and deep, as if carved out with a knife.
But because of the smile, the lines at the corners of the eyes are like two open fans. It's a pity that the eyelids drooped so badly that he covered most of the eyes that were already like dry wells, and he struggled to reveal a trace of brilliance and looked at the clouds and nights. It looks like a distressed and kind old man.
Yun Jianfeng sat next to the old ancestor's hand, next to his two pampered wives Lin Lanting and Chu Wanxue. Then there was a vacant position reserved for Murong Xinrui. And below are Yun Changchun and Yun Changxin, who also sat down with their own wives. Almost made this table full.
Murong Xinrui was still standing under the hall. Then he was beckoned to sit down at the table. The table next to it is where the children of the Yun family sit. Yun Yongzhi, Yun Jinxiu, Yun Qianqian and Spruce Painting, the children of the eldest son's family, also sat at the beginning and the end. The rest of Yun Jianfeng and Yun Jianfeng's children sat in the lower seat.
Among them, Yun Aoxue, who delayed her business in the Chef God Contest last time, still looked extremely disagreeable with Yun Shaobai and Yun Shaohua, and sat coldly. When Yun Ji Ye sat down at this table, most of them were the masters who did not look at Yun Ji Ye.
"It's a beautiful child, ...... appreciation," the ancestor praised.
Just a little as he spoke, someone brought a plate covered with a red cloth. When the next person opened it, all the golden ingots lying inside were full of 1,000 taels of gold. The shot is not an ordinary generosity. However, Yun Jiye was busy with the birthday banquet for the ancestors from beginning to end, and everything must be done personally, and it is natural that these gold are obtained, and it can be regarded as a person who can work hard.
It's just that those red-eyed children of the Yun family have shown indignant eyes to stare at Yun Kill the Night. It was as if she had robbed them of a great good thing and did not give them benefits, which made Yun Ji cry and laugh at night.
On the contrary, Yun Jiye had to get up, bow in the direction of the old ancestor, and respectfully thank: "Thank you ...... ancestor"
The old ancestor nodded, glanced at Yun Jiye lovingly, and didn't look at the cannibalistic expressions of other grandsons and granddaughters at all. is worthy of being a person who has lived most of his life, and his concentration is not ordinarily good. Let the clouds kill the night out of reach.
There were other guests sitting in the hall, and when Yun Jiye looked at it, it turned out to be the fourth prince Xuanyuan Feiran, the head of the merchants, Beichen Shaoyin, the chairman of the auction house, Lei Butian, and some people who couldn't be named.
It seems that they are all either rich or expensive. At this moment, they all looked at themselves, some nodded, and some smiled. Of course, there are also some unkind eyes, Yun Ji Ye learned the momentum of the ancestors, closed his eyes and did not see them. This is the case with the so-called out of sight. Maybe the ancestor was so calm and composed, but it was also because the eyelids were too thick and blocked the view?
Seeing that Yun Jiye was already seated, Musk Yue stood behind Yun Jiye, waiting for orders at any time.
After not sitting for a while, Yun Jiye remembered that the birthday cake he had specially prepared for the ancestor had not yet been served, so he raised his hand to summon Musk Yue over. A few words of advice. Musk Moon obediently whispered back.
Sit here at the birthday banquet here, and the kitchen over there. As soon as Musk Moon entered, she saw Green Silk in a panic. Where she didn't see it. Green Silk is putting away a yellow porcelain vase. It's no longer the blue porcelain vase that Chu Wanxue handed over to her this morning......
"What are you doing here?" asked Musk Moon curiously.
Now all the chefs are busy and the dishes are on the table. The rest of the matter is almost no one else to worry about. I don't know what this green silk is doing here, and it looks like it's in a hurry. Let Musk Moon frown, and probe.
"I didn't do anything, it's the green silk greedy mouth, and now I'm hungry, so I came to the kitchen to see what is left to satisfy the stomach......" Green silk said, and reached out to touch her belly, looking hungry.
Musk Moon is also a kind-hearted person, and when she heard Green Silk's explanation, she immediately believed it for seven or eight points. Since this morning, almost all the family members have been busy with the birthday banquet of the ancestors. Greeting guests, cooking dishes, and congratulatory gifts are very busy. Not to mention lunch, I didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Now, even if Green Silk doesn't say that she is hungry, she feels empty and a little hungry.
Then he smiled and said, "You haven't found anything, have you?" Even if you are lucky to meet me, my young lady also specially left me some food, for fear that I will be hungry without a table to eat, come and ...... I'll take you to get some, and we'll eat together. ”
When Green Silk heard Musk Yue's words, there was a slight surprise in her eyes. She couldn't believe that a master could be so attentive and thoughtful to his subordinates. He also prepared a satisfying meal for his subordinates.
Seeing the look of surprise and envy in Green Silk's eyes, Musk Yue also had a trace of pride and pride in her heart. smiled and said to Green Silk: "You, it's not as good as me, such a master is really hard to find with a lantern, and there is no shelf, and he is considerate to his subordinates......!
As soon as he finished speaking, the green silk behind Musk Moon revealed a gloomy complexion. The next moment, there was a yellow triangular thing in front of her. Scared Green Silk for a moment.
"What is this brick-like thing?" Green Silk didn't immediately take the cake in Musk Yue's hand, but still stared at the thing in Musk Yue's hand with a wary expression. It looked like Musk Moon was scaring her with something poisonous......
"What a brick! This is a cake made by our young lady, but the gold is expensive! It is said to be a popular thing in the West! We don't have it in Xuanyuan Country and Haoyue Kingdom!" Musk Yue looked surprised when she saw Green Silk, so she patiently explained.
"Can this be eaten?" Green Silk picked up the pastry on the plate and looked left and right, looking very shocked. Stretched out his hand and poked on the cake, don't look at the edges and corners, it is still soft!
"Don't make such a fuss, it's really ignorant! Hurry up and eat, I'll serve this big one to the ancestor in a while." As she spoke, she took out a large cake half a meter long and wide hidden in the cabinet next to her.
