Chapter Ninety-Seven: Lies
When the same kind of food was brought out of the huge food box by the big girl next to her, several of He Changqi's friends couldn't care about looking at Zou's anymore.
The sweet and sour pork ribs are neatly stacked in the 'fine' and green 'flower' porcelain plate, the old duck pot with the lid uncovered is fragrant and fragrant, and there is a large plate of boiled fish like tofu with a layer of red pepper fish 'meat' but tender, with a thin thousand sheets and green onion shredded 'meat' in Beijing sauce, as well as fresh and tender tofu soup that is steaming hot...... With each serving, the eyes of these nobles sitting around the table widened.
It wasn't until finally the big girl brought a small pot to the center of the table, and carefully lit a fire under the pot, that several noblemen were already stunned.
Zheng Shizi had never seen such a battle for eating, and he had never eaten any of the seven or eight dishes on the table, the dishes with a rich fragrance!
Zheng Shizi couldn't wait to point to the small pot that was lit in the center, "Sister-in-law, what is this called? This way of eating, even in the palace, the younger brother has never seen it." ”
He Changqi, who was sitting in the master's seat, was obviously extremely satisfied with the dishes specially prepared by Chu Lian today, except for the boiled fish he had eaten that day, the others had never even seen him.
Zou came to deliver the dishes instead of Chu Lian, and Chu Lian naturally told her the characteristics and names of these dishes a long time ago.
At this time, several greedy men looked up at her together, looking forward to her solution, and such a focused gaze made Zou feel the attention and comfort that he had not seen for a long time.
Such comfort made the thought in her heart magnify in an instant.
Zou smiled elegantly, and his expression and demeanor were a model for the 'daughter' of the family.
Several of He Changqi's friends only listened to her nice 'female' voice: "A few sons, the middle dish is called a dry pot, it is simple to make, first process the ingredients to be made in the dry pot in advance, and when eating, you can light the fire under the dry pot, which is very convenient." ”
Zheng Shizi, who likes new things, even came close to take a closer look, and after reading it, he clapped his hands and praised loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful, so, no matter when you want to eat, you can eat the freshly made dishes, isn't it beautiful!"
Several others also agreed.
Zou Shi was even happier when she heard Zheng Shizi's praise, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she couldn't help the 'agitation' in her heart, "Yes, I also came up with this way of eating by accident, but I didn't expect Zheng Shizi to like it so much." ”
Originally, a few people were still full of happiness and their faces were stiff for a moment, among which He Changqi was the most embarrassed, he wanted to pull his wife's sleeve to remind, but heard Zou continue to be excited: "This is boiled fish, and what floats red on it is a new vegetable, which Da Lang bought from the hands of the Gentiles, I looked at this thing strangely, and I thought about using it to make some food, but I didn't expect that the fish fillet cooked by this thing in the fish fillet would be so delicious, and you will definitely taste it for a while." The one next to it is ......"
Zou Shi kept introducing the dishes on this table, but he didn't find that the faces of the people at the table became strange and weird, Xiao Bojian's narrow peach 'flower' eyes were full of disdain, he glanced at Zou with mockery, Lian'er's credit was taken up by this 'woman' like this, didn't she blush at all when she opened her eyes and said nonsense in front of them?
He Changqi's face was flushed, but looking at his wife like this, he couldn't be ruthless enough to debunk it in person.
When Zou finally finished introducing these dishes, he found that the surroundings seemed to be suddenly quiet, and he was not as active as when he was serving the dishes, Zou looked around a little blankly, and her mood suddenly rose to her throat, and she asked softly: "What? But how many sons don't like the dishes made by their sisters-in-law?"
The young Wei Yuanhou and Master Ge of Honglu Temple glanced at each other, and after tacitly agreeing to it, they smiled and saluted the Zou family, "Sister-in-law thinks about it a lot, and being able to eat the dishes made by my sister-in-law is the blessing of the younger brothers." ”
Hearing Wei Yuanhou say this, Zou Shi's heart was relieved, and she wanted to say more, but this time He Changqi interrupted her very quickly: "Okay, I still have to get together with a few friends, you go back first." ”
Zou had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, thinking that it was rare for her husband to bring his friends to the house, and they were all men, and she was a 'woman' in the inner house who was really not in line with the rules, so she immediately said goodbye and left, and walked out of the hall with the maid and grandmother beside her.
Not long after the figure of the Zou family disappeared, He Changqi got up and walked to the bottom, and bowed deeply to a few friends, "Clumsy and insincere, He is here to ask you for your guilt, and please don't blame you." ”
Zou didn't know that He Changqi had already 'befriended' the truth with several friends, but Zou suddenly came to He Changqi and took Chu Lian's credit, which was not to show her virtue, but to slap He Changqi's face in front of He Changqi's friends.
Lord Ge hurriedly helped He Changqi up, "Brother He, don't blame yourself, everyone has money, wealth, vanity, greed, and sister-in-law, I just don't want to lose your face in front of our brothers, what do we have to blame." ”
Wei Yuanhou also smiled and agreed, "A few of us finally have time to get together, today's food is current, don't let it down, come, eat and drink!"
In such a scene, Zou's lie can be regarded as being exposed, but although several people did not tear He Changqi's face on the spot, how to think in their hearts is not so simple.
However, one thing in common is that the image of the Zou family can be described as terrible, and even Zheng Shizi and Wei Yuanhou began to sympathize with He Changqi.
The Zou family can't give birth to a male heir for He Changqi, not to mention, the character 'sex' is so despicable, and the Zou family's 'sex' is not good, which directly affects the opinions of these girls to be married in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
It was originally a long-faced gathering, but he was so stirred up by the Zou family that He Changqi almost couldn't raise his head in front of his friends.
However, such an embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, when a few people put the food on the table into their mouths, what Zou deceives and what unbearable are forgotten, the only thing left in front of him is only food, this world at this time, only food can not be disappointed!
In the past, the scene of several noble sons getting together is always noble and elegant, meeting two or three friends, frying a pot of tea, warming a pot of wine, roasting a piece or two of deer 'meat', if the mood comes, you can also compose one or two poems, give one or two words, Danqing pen and ink, and music and wine...... In short, how elegant how to come. Gobbling up, eating the bowl and looking at the pot, that's what only uneducated rough people do, and the noble sons who claim to be born in the 'door' will never do this.
But now...... Hehe.
What kind of noble son, what bearing, what elegance, can these bullshit things be eaten as food? Can they satisfy the 'desire' of the mouth?
The answer is no!
Wei Yuanhou and Master Ge are young, the two of them grew up together when they were young, they read the Ge family's genealogy, and their mothers are close friends, and the two boys are so good that they wear a pair of open crotch 'pants', but at this time!
Xiao Wei Yuanhou quickly solved a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with endless aftertaste, a pair of eyes were still staring at the plate, at this time Zheng Shizi's long chopsticks stretched out and took away a piece, and only the last piece was lying in the white 'colored' blue 'flower' porcelain plate, Wei Yuanhou immediately made a decision, and quickly poked at the last piece of ribs on the plate.
Wei Yuanhou looked along the chopsticks, and saw that Lord Ge, who looked like a dog on weekdays, had two bulging cheeks.
The corner of his eye twitched, and he reminded: "Ge Da, I picked it up first, take the chopsticks away." ”
"Li Si, I am one year older than you, I let you do all the good things when I was young, and I sent you to let the eldest brother come back this time. ”
"Ge Da, you haven't finished eating it yet!"
......
Wei Yuanhou and Master Ge, who have had a good relationship since childhood, are no different from twins, but at this time they quarreled over a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
He Changqi's head was full of black lines, but his hands were not idle at all, and he kept stretching out his chopsticks to hold the bowl of boiled fish. Quarrel, quarrel, quarrel, no one will grab this plate with him, although the third brother and sister also sent a bowl over that time, they didn't eat enough, plus he had a large amount of food, he didn't eat at all last time, this time because it was to entertain guests, so Chu Lian deliberately did a lot. The white and tender fish 'meat' has a slight choking and hemp aroma of chili peppers, and it melts in your mouth, so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.
As soon as he put a thin piece of fresh and tender fish fillet into his mouth, he saw Xiao Bojian on the other side silently take the spoon and put it into the big clay pot, and then the chopsticks and spoon stirred together in the clay pot, and waited until the spoon was 'revealed' from the red chili pepper, and there was a spoonful full of white tender fish fillets lying in the spoon......
Then He Changqi opened his eyes wide and saw Xiao Bojian pour all the fish fillets into the sweet white porcelain bowl in front of him......
Then the empty spoon reached for the large clay pot containing the boiled fish......
Groove ...... What kind of noble son is this, they are all reincarnated by starving ghosts!
There was supposed to be a meal with laughter and wine, but it ended before two sticks of incense......
Seeing a few friends holding their stomachs one by one and 'straightening' on the seats, and burping with satisfaction, He Changqi's forehead couldn't help but twitch.
Fortunately, he saw that the situation was not right, so he sent all the subordinates around him out, otherwise let the subordinates see the situation just like a war, it is estimated that they must have thought that this group of noble sons had been dropped, and the pretended people were all selected from the beggar's nest that had been hungry for ten days and a half months.
Looking at the empty plates and bowls on the table that didn't even have soup left, He Changqi didn't bother to say anything more.
When a few well-fed and well-fed 'bastards' came to rest, Zheng Shizi slapped the table unhappily, "Brother He, you are really unkind, in vain the brothers have to call you every time they eat and drink, the food at home is so delicious, you actually invited us to a small gathering until today!"
Master Ge glanced at He Changqi, who was squarely black-faced next to him, and thought of the words and deeds of the Zou family just now, his heart was a little subtle, recalling that He Changqi also looked like he was gobbling up just now, I am afraid that it was the first time for him to eat such a good meal today.
Lord Ge didn't blame He Changqi for hiding 'private', but half-leaned back on the chair without any image, took a sip of old duck soup and smashed his mouth, and said sourly: "He Saburo is lucky, and he deserves to go to the bitter cold land in the north, it turns out that I still think this kid is 'very' pity, but now, I don't sympathize with him at all, if He Saburo is in front of me now, I will give him two words 'deserved'!"
Xiao Wei Yuanhou and Master Ge lost their sweet and sour pork ribs in front of them, and they became a pair of good brothers who hooked their shoulders and backs, "Poor He family's 'jade' San Lang!"
Xiao Bojian, who is full, is still very low-key, his eyes are slightly lowered, his long black 'colored' eyelashes cover his deep eyes, the thumb and index finger of his right hand are pinching the phalanges of his left index finger, and the thin 'lips' are a little more red 'glamorous' at this time because of his spicy taste, no one has seen his unwilling and resentful expression at this time, he is quiet like a statue.
If Zheng Shizi hadn't known that he was this 'sex', he would have asked him what was going on.
Xiao Bojian's gaze swept slightly over He Changqi, who was sitting on the main seat, and there was a dark light in his eyes.
Originally, these should have been his!
Lian'er washed his hands and made soup for him, friends praised Lian'er's good craftsmanship in front of him, Lian'er presided over family affairs for him, husband and wife **** opposite, sweet words, and foaming with each other......
It was only after a few people had a meal of a lifetime that a young man with a wine jug walked in outside the hall.
Chang Sui looked at the dishes that were swept away on the table in shock, blinked again in disbelief, and finally seemed to finally react, walked quickly to He Changqi's side, and asked in a low voice in He Changqi's ear: "Young Master, this is ...... Are you still drinking this wine?"
It turned out that I often went to fetch wine, and the ten years of 'jade', 'cave' and 'spring' were specially brought by Xiao Wei Yuanhou.
No one thought that before the wine was served, the dishes would be gone......
Zheng Shizi glanced at a few people and said, "Pour the bar!"
Xiao Wei Yuanhou and Master Ge also nodded, they were full, drinking alcohol would not hurt their bodies, and besides, they had just eaten freely, and now they are also interested in drinking.
He Changqi nodded, and instructed Chang to call two maids to come in and remove the empty plates, and let a few plates of dishes from the big kitchen be put on the wine cups, and fill the wine for a few friends.
After eating the dishes on the table just now, and then looking at the dishes they often eat on weekdays, they suddenly felt tasteless in their mouths and felt sad in their hearts.
Several people seem to indicate that the future will be difficult...... The so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift is difficult, after tasting the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and then to eat those bark coarse food, I am afraid that few can swallow it.
Thinking about it this way, a few people will inevitably drink more, ten years of 'jade', 'cave' and 'spring' can be regarded as the richest liquor in Shengjing, full of stamina, plus the dishes in the big kitchen can no longer enter the mouth, and the wine that enters the stomach becomes more.
Half an hour later, not to mention Xiao Wei's distant wait, even He Changqi, who had a good amount of wine, was already dizzy and couldn't tell what day it was.
I often saw that several masters had become like this, so I had no choice but to arrange a side room for everyone and rest for the time being.
Xiao Bojian, who was originally unconscious, was helped to the wing room by the ordinary-looking Chang Sui beside him, and the pair of "mysterious" and "blind" peach "flower" eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were clear, and there was still a trace of drunkenness.
Dressed as a general guard, he saluted Xiao Bojian, "Master, are you not drunk?"
Xiao Bojian replied lightly, stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "You go with me to the backyard of Jing'anbo Mansion and let Wei Nineteen guard here." ”
