Mrs. Wang had a huge amount of food, she had just eaten a piece of cake and drank a bowl of soup, but she only ate half full.

Meng Kang supported Mrs. Wang all the way, and walked to the door of Mengfu after a long time, the old woman looked up, the word Mengfu on the door plaque is not carving, pen writing, but with purple gold to lay a layer of foundation, and then use wood paint to make the face, this word is like gold not gold, like wood not wood, extremely luxurious, but extremely low-key.

Granny Wang stopped in place, looked at both sides again, and put a pair of stone carving Pixiu in front of the door, with a gold bead in her mouth, and a robe on her body, majestic and majestic, so not overbearing.

Seeing her stop, Meng Kang was puzzled, and said in his heart: "Could it be that you know about the death of your son......?"

Meng Kang pretended to be calm, helped Granny Wang, and asked softly, "Mother-in-law?"

Granny Wang waved her hand and shook her head, and said bluntly: "No, no, it's you, a big family, who makes the old man dazzled, and I want to take a few more looks here" In the words, there is no envy and emotion.

After Meng Kang heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Mother-in-law, you don't know, my house was dilapidated when I bought it, like an ancient temple in a deserted village, I only spent four hundred taels when I bought it, and the title deed was seven hundred taels, but I spent three thousand taels to repair this house." ”

In the eyes of Granny Wang, these thousands of taels of silver are already a lot of wealth that she has been asking for all her life, and when she heard it, where are these thousands of taels of silver, it is still cheap!

Wang Po said: "When I entered the door, I was tired of the petty officials to help me a lot, and I was afraid that I would fall to the ground and dirty the precious land......"

Meng Kang said with a smile: "Thousands of houses are not as good as a mother-in-law, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, please come in!" As he spoke, he supported Granny Wang with one hand, and invited her with her right hand.

Granny Wang entered the door, and couldn't help but look left and right, touching the wall paintings for a while, and looking at the expensive wood of the small door for a while, and joking that she would move a few doors home.

Meng Kang only laughed vigorously, helped Granny Wang into the main hall, and arranged it above the chief, and the two daughters of Mingyue Yinger at home were busy asking the doctor to treat Cao Caohua.

He chatted with Granny Wang, said that there was something, got up and walked out of the door, and there were occasional hotel guys at the door to deliver food and wine.

As soon as Meng Kang went out, he happened to meet one, and when he saw him carrying a food box, he immediately stopped him, and the guy recognized Meng Kang, and hurriedly said: "My lord" asked him what he commanded.

Meng Kang saw that he looked ugly, but his speech was very good, and he groveled in front of him, Meng Kang looked at the guy with a little appreciation, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You can buy me a first-class banquet, and you will be rewarded for doing it beautifully." ”

The guy listened to it and thanked him again and again, and asked about the taboos, so he ran to the restaurant non-stop, Meng Kang turned around and entered the house, and saw that the old lady was pouring tea alone to quench her thirst.

Meng Kang walked closer, pointed out the door to Granny Wang, and said, "The kid has already arranged a banquet, and it will be delivered in a while, and I ask my mother-in-law to wait for a while." ”

Granny Wang asked with some surprise: "The family has a lot of money, but you can't afford to hire a cook?"

Meng Kang laughed softly when he heard this, not knowing how to respond. At this moment, there was a crisp and pleasant sound behind him, like the cry of a yellow warbler.

The two looked back, only to see Ying'er holding the tray, and laughed softly: "Mother-in-law, you don't know something, the gentleman is good at hiding jade, and he is afraid of thieves stealing it, so it is not easy to show it." ”

Granny Wang suddenly realized and said, "I see. ”

Meng Kang's cheeks blushed, and he diverted his words, and said, "You serve the old lady, I'll go and see the little ...... Little lady. "Accidentally, I almost called someone a little widow in front of my mother-in-law.

Ying'er agreed, turned around and stood beside Granny Wang, and when she saw that Ying'er was serving, Meng Kang also relieved herself and turned around and walked to the inner courtyard.

When Granny Wang saw Ying'er standing beside her, her eyes narrowed, and she could see a little, but she didn't know whether it was a compliment or a sincere intention, but she praised her: "Xiao Nizi is really handsome, no worse than my daughter-in-law! ”

Ying'er saw that although the old lady was a country man, she was dressed shabby but very neat, and said in her heart: "My son is a rough man, but my mother is a clean." Then he answered and sat down beside Granny Wang.

The old lady touched the girl's head, smiled from ear to ear, I don't know what the intention is, Ying'er also has doubts in her heart, but because she is an outsider, it is naturally inconvenient to ask directly.

After a while, the old lady felt a little bored, and there happened to be someone around her, so she chatted with her.

The old lady smiled and asked, "How old are you?"

Ying'er replied: "It's twenty-eight." ”

The old lady smiled and brought her a cup of tea, Ying'er hurriedly took it and thanked her repeatedly.

The old lady asked again, "How many years have you been selling here?"

Ying'er took a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and said: "I have been in the house since I don't remember, and I have been serving my uncle since I was ten years old, and this is the sixth year." ”

The old lady sighed and said, "You are still very blessed, I don't know how many people can't even eat a mouthful of food." ”

Ying'er learned how to serve since she was a child, pleasing her master, and followed the old man to the north and south, to some rich places, and to the disaster areas of barren refugees.

She naturally knows about the sufferings in the world, not to mention that the old man lost his ancestral business before he died, she is also a hard-working person who has seen the ups and downs, where would she not know the meaning of Granny Wang's words.

Ying'er lowered her eyebrows, seemed to be a little sad, and said: "Participating in Zen is not for enlightenment, enlightenment is not for becoming immortals, and the world is too obsessed with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it ends up empty." ”

Hearing what she said, Granny Wang was overjoyed in her heart, and asked busily, "You are also a student of Buddhism?"

Ying'er shook her head and said, "There are idlers in the world, where are people who study Buddhism." I am the most disgusted with the Buddha, and the scriptures say that women are cheap, but that doesn't come out of the mother's belly, it's not a good thing, and it's okay if you don't learn it. ”

Granny Wang was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her small mouth and muttered: "Don't talk nonsense, there are gods three feet above your head!"

Ying'er didn't believe this, but she didn't want to grudge with her, after all, she had to keep her for a few days, so she went along with her.

"Tuk tuk. The knock sounded, the two turned their heads to look, only to see three or five small men at the door, each carrying a food box, Ying'er didn't know why these people came, got up and said to the old lady, and walked to the door.

Ying'er asked, "Why did you come here with wine and food?"

The little guy smirked and said, "Grandma, this is the wine and food that the master asked me to send, saying that it was made according to the best, and the little one didn't dare to wait slowly, so he packed the food box and hurriedly sent it over." ”

Ying'er stretched out her hand to take it, and greeted it inside, and said while greeting her: "Send it inside, put it on the table for me, and all the delicious food will be placed in front of the old lady, if that dish is delicious, my aunt and grandmother will have a reward here!"

The little servants were full of energy when they heard this, and they strode inside, putting the delicacies in front of Granny Wang. There were more than 20 dishes on the table, and the servants put away the food boxes, arranged them neatly, and stood on the side to wait for the reward.

Seeing them so obsessed with money, Ying'er couldn't help but smile, took the silver from her bosom to pay for the meal, and shared the reward of two yuan per person. Everyone took the reward, and they were very grateful and said goodbye to Mengfu.

When Granny Wang saw the delicious food on the table, she couldn't help but ask, "It's all for the old woman?"

Ying'er pushed the dishes closer to her, introduced the dishes to her one by one, and her white fingers pointed to the dishes, and said, "Five-flavor apricot cheese goose, please also ask your mother-in-law to play chopsticks." ”

She picked up chopsticks and pinched a piece of meat for the old lady, and Granny Wang only opened her mouth, and Ying'er sent the meat into her mouth. Granny Wang chewed a few bites, and the more she ate, the more she could eat the fragrance, she only smashed her mouth and praised: "This goose is really good, it has a little almond flavor, and a little milk aroma, sweet in the mouth, like a glutinous rice cake, not like the goose you usually eat." ”

Ying'er smiled: "I know how to do this dish, first start the pot to burn oil, the bay leaves, cinnamon, fennel, green onions, refined salt to make five flavors, and then beat the almonds to make a pulp, remove the slag, mix rice flour, add sugar to boil, get a bowl of apricot cheese, after the two are stirred, the duck is boiled for an hour, and then the duck is removed from the head and tail, the sauce is poured and then put on the glutinous rice to be steamed on the fire, two hours later it can be out of the pot, in Renhe Lou to order this dish, usually the first process is done first, just steam for a moment and a half, you can eat it out of the pot. ”

Granny Wang couldn't close her mouth when she heard this, and said bluntly: "It's so troublesome, no wonder it's so delicious." ”

Ying'er took the second chopsticks for her, looked crystal clear, I don't know whether it was meat or raw fish to make a slice, Ying'er took the chopsticks and soaked them in a small bowl, and then put them to Granny Wang's mouth, where did she suffer this?

This thing melts in the mouth, it is extremely fat, and there is a faint smell, Granny Wang immediately knew what it was, and exclaimed: "Mutton!" She looked at Ying'er, who only nodded and covered her mouth and chuckled.

Granny Wang felt that it was not enough to enjoy a bite, so she simply took the chopsticks and ate a few more bites, then put down the chopsticks and asked, "I know that it is mutton, but I don't know why it is so fat." ”

Ying'er said: "This is sheep's tail oil, put this sheep's tail oil in sugar and sesame seeds and soak it for a circle." ”

I ate a few dishes one after another, until I finished tasting these 20 dishes, Ying'er introduced each dish one by one, and Granny Wang said in her heart: "After all, it is a big family, and even the maids around me are so knowledgeable, and there are many allusions to this dish......"

Granny Wang was full, she burped without concealing it, the smell was smoky, and Ying'er didn't mind, and said in her heart: "Forgive you for being a country woman, it is inevitable that you don't know how to be polite, just ......."

Although this dish is delicious in the world, it is inevitably a little greasy, so she asked, "Girl, pour a cup of tea for your mother-in-law." ”

Although Ying'er is a high-minded and arrogant person, except for serving her master, others have never served, but this old lady first lost her son, and then she was blind, and she suddenly felt compassion in her heart, so she poured a cup of herbal tea for her from the table.

Granny Wang took a sip, and the old man in his seventies shouted, "It's enjoyable!" and put the cup on the table, and felt that something was wrong, so she said: "Girl, you sit down and eat some, what's the matter if the old woman eats alone?

Ying'er sat beside her, picked up the chopsticks and ignored her, and only said perfunctorily: "It's okay, the uncle eats late on weekdays, and he will come out when he is hungry after a while." ”

Granny Wang doesn't know what the rules of this Meng Mansion are, and she doesn't bother to ask when she is full, and she can't wait to eat these miles every day!
