Chapter 220: Exquisite Peony

"No, no! My daughters-in-law are here, and I don't need the Li family's sisters. Rest for a while, the meal will be ready soon! After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she walked out in a hurry.

Song Ziran quietly followed, and when she saw that she had bought carp at home today, she smiled and said, "Milk, let's make fish today, right?" ”

"What fish? Fry fish in oil? Mrs. Wu asked.

Song Ziran leaned in her ear and whispered: "That lady is an elegant person at first glance, and she is a talented woman." I remembered a very elegant dish taught to me by the gods, called 'Linglong Peony Fish'. It is to marinate the fish into the shape of peony petals, fry it, then put it in the marinade to collect the juice, and then smoke it and put it on the plate. It is shaped like a flower and has a delicious and unique taste. ”

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said, "That's okay!" That's what kind of fish is made here. Everything else is lighter, and the lady is sick and crooked, greasy and spicy, but you can't do it, so as not to eat your stomach and rely on us. ”

Song Ziran nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Do we still have beef?" How about making 'West Lake Beef Soup', carp making 'Squirrel Guiyu', and then 'Crab Roe Tofu', 'Pickled Duxian' and 'Ginkgo Cabbage'? Four dishes and one soup should be enough, right? ”

Liu Cuihong, who was cleaning the ingredients, suddenly asked, "Mother, what are the talents in the outer courtyard eating today?" ”

"The food money they paid is due, and they can eat whatever they like! There are distinguished guests at home today, and it is inconvenient to entertain them. Let Xiao Wu go to the outer courtyard to say something, so as not to sit there and stretch his neck, waiting for food! ”

Zhang Chunmei burst out laughing and said, "Isn't it a little swallow who stretches out his neck and waits for food?" Mother, you're really amused! ”

Receiving her mother-in-law's warning eyes, she turned pale and lowered her head to get busy with the matter at hand. Although her mother-in-law rarely scolds herself now, Zhang Chunmei is even more afraid of her - she used to be afraid of being beaten and scolded, but now it is better to be in awe.

After coming to Fucheng, the image of her mother-in-law became taller and taller in her eyes. The talents who took the examination were given to their mothers-in-law with silver. On an equal footing with the prefect's wife, she is calm and comfortable - if she had been replaced, she would have been numb a long time ago.

Also, my mother-in-law took Fuya to buy land, and I sold more than 1,000 taels, and I saw it clearly, it was not more than 1,000 yuan, it was a silver tael of white flowers, and she spent it so mercilessly. Who has the courage? Even a few men in the family probably don't dare to make decisions easily!

Zhang Chunmei can see that no matter how stupid she is, if she wants to live well, she has to hug her mother-in-law's thighs! In the past, when I was in a ravine and ravine, my family could have more than ten acres of land, and I could stand up and talk everywhere. Now, more than a hundred acres of land, listen, how scary!

It's a pity that the people in the city are not familiar with the place, and she has nowhere to go! I heard that the people living near here are either rich or expensive, and she doesn't dare to go out, so as not to provoke people who shouldn't be messed with and cause trouble for the family!

Her man and son have said that she will honestly not go out of the second door at home, and she will be in charge of the silver from the third room! If she was still like before, always thinking about running out and chewing the root of her tongue, not only would the housekeeper take it back, but also let her make rules in front of her mother-in-law every day.

I heard that the daughter-in-law of a large family will go to her mother-in-law to serve before dawn, her mother-in-law eats and watches her, her mother-in-law sits and she stands, and her mother-in-law has to suffer beating and scolding - Mom, in this way, their mother-in-law is still kind!

However, if she does make a mistake, the good days will definitely come to an end. She is not stupid, she has a good life of eating, drinking, fish and meat, and she doesn't have to work in the field, what else does she do?

The scholars in the outer courtyard came back to wait for lunch after attending the literary meeting outside. I didn't expect to wait for the bad news of "expired order"? And the old lady of the landlady doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing to do their three-meal business.

What can I do? It's still a few days before the release of the list! They were raised by the old lady to have a bad appetite, and they couldn't look down on the food in the small restaurant outside. Although the big restaurant can barely enter, they are also a small rich family, how can they go to the restaurant all of a sudden?

Several other scholars unanimously elected Zhu Yuankun to negotiate with the landlady to see if they could pack a meal for a few more days. They didn't ask for a meal for them to make a single meal, just eat a one-pot meal with the Song family. There are not many of them, that is, they add a few more handfuls of rice to cooking rice and add more ingredients to stir-frying.

Zhu Yuankun, who was burdened with the expectations of all scholars, probed his brain in front of the kitchen. Seeing the prepared dishes on the table, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva: Wow! Crab roe tofu is fragrant just by smelling, let alone tasting it......

Looking at the other dishes, Zhu Yuankun accosted: "Auntie, what about cooking!" I saw that today's cooking was Subang cuisine. Weird exquisite! ”

Mrs. Wu glanced at him and said, "Don't look at it, it's not your share!" I really don't have time to cook for you today, so go out and find food to eat! ”

Zhu Yuankun hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't just make it for us." Whatever we eat, we will eat! In the next few days, I will also trouble you...... Don't worry, there's a lot of money for you! ”

"We eat home-cooked food, even whole grains, can you get used to it?" Mrs. Wu asked.

"Eat habitually, eat habitually! Eat some whole grains once in a while, it's good for your gut! Look at these days, auntie, you have fed us all fat again, and eating some coarse grains is just to reduce the fat on our bodies! "I have to say that Zhu Yuankun is also a talent, and he is very sophisticated.

Mrs. Wu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll cook more meals in a while. You don't have to think the food is crude! As for the silver, I can give you less, after all, it is easy to eat......"

"No, no! It's not the ingredients that we eat, it's the tastes. I think your craftsmanship is far more than these two hundred dollars! Then don't bother you, I'll go back to the front yard first, those showmen are still waiting for my news! Zhu Yuankun's goal was achieved and he returned triumphantly.

Soon, the "exquisite peony" plating was completed, and it was as beautiful as a blooming flower. Zhang Chunmei swallowed her saliva and sighed in admiration: "Such a beautiful flower, who would have thought that it would be a dish?" That's pretty too, isn't it? Oh, rich people will toss around......"

Mrs. Wu waved her hand at them and said, "Okay, okay!" Don't stick to it here. Don't let you work in vain, there are still fish fillets on the stove that have not been plated, go and try them! Don't eat it all, save a little for the kids to try.

Fourth daughter-in-law, you take care of some home-cooked food on the stove. By the way, the braised beef yesterday was stewed in a pot with potatoes and sent to the talents in the outer courtyard. How can we really let them eat the same as us? Fuya, let's go, go to the hall with my grandmother......"
