Li Zhensheng raised his hand and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, laughing and scolding, "Don't act like this. There are four brothers in a family, and there are more than 20 people in the family. How can they all be the good ones? There has to be someone who is the bad one, right?
"It just so happens. I wasn't at home before, something really happened, and others would say that the Wang family taught me bad things! Let's also let the Wang family take the blame! "
Li Laoer knew that his eldest brother didn't want him to be sad, so he quickly put away the sourness in his heart and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will often stay with Mr. Wen in the future and listen more to the things that happen in the court.
"That's right. You don't need to worry about the family. You need to prop up the facade of the family first. " "Li Zhensheng praised his younger brother, then picked up his little niece and said, "Let's go to grandma and see how your mother's banquet is being prepared. "
After that, they went out.
In the front lobby, there were more and more guests. Sniffing the aroma wafting from the kitchen, someone couldn't help but ask, "Are there any new dishes today? "
The young man served tea and responded with a smile, "No, it's Baihuaxiang's private dish. It's the second serving today. The director brought his family over for dinner!
"Both directors have reserved two seats in a row? " "The guest was surprised and said, "This private kitchen must be good, otherwise Mr. Dong, who is so picky, would not bring his family over to eat it a second time. "
The young boy became more and more proud when he heard this, and responded, "Of course, our chef's ancestors were royal chefs, and he can think about the menu according to the guests' preferences.
For example, today, the old lady of the Dong family likes to eat dumplings. Our chef made dumplings with cucumber and egg fillings. The kitchen is cooking them. I dare not go near the dumplings for fear of drooling over the deliciousness. "
The diners all laughed and wanted to talk. People from the Dong family had already arrived.
Dong Yuanwai asked the family members, old and young, to go upstairs first, and then greeted everyone.
Someone asked, "Dong Yuanwai, are you here to eat this time? Twice. Is this private kitchen really so good? "
Of course," Dong Yuanwai nodded and said with a smile, "Not only is the food delicious, but you don't know, this box is called Baihuaxiang, and there are famous flowers in it."
"I'm not afraid of everyone laughing at me. Last night I was thinking about what kind of flowers I could get today, and I couldn't sleep well all night."
Before he could finish his words, the youngest son of the family had already run down and shouted, "Dad, There is a bonsai with golden plum blossoms upstairs. Mom asked me to call you."
"Seriously?" Director Dongwai hurriedly cupped his hands with everyone and ran upstairs quickly. I really don't know how he can move so flexibly because he is so fat. of.
Everyone downstairs was itching to hear it, but the Dong family came out for a reunion, so they couldn't be bothered.
But the guests in the other private rooms on the third floor, who were close to the water terrace and were familiar with the director, took the opportunity to say hello, then entered the potpourri and saw the pot of golden plums with their own eyes.
The golden plum blossom is a rare kind of plum blossom. Its flowers are luxuriant and delicate and beautiful. It is most suitable to be made into a potted plant and placed on the desk. It is simply the favorite of all scholars.
Today, this pot is placed in the middle of the rotating table, beautiful by itself.
There are also four pots of ordinary plum trees placed in small pottery jars in the corners of the house and in front of the windows.
Although it is not as eye-catching as the golden plum blossoms, it still has a subtle fragrance that makes people feel good when they smell it.
Just in time, the kitchen started serving food.
The juicy and white dumplings, the fragrant roast duck, the red cherry meat, the spicy boiled meat slices, the tooth-dropping fish ball and mushroom soup...
This made the guests who came to enjoy the flowers regret very much. Why didn't they have it before? I grabbed this second table of private dishes.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be swallowing my saliva right now, and I would be greedy for flowers and food.
The director pretended to invite them to stay and eat together. Of course they couldn't be so ignorant and disturb the family reunion.
So they said goodbye politely, then went out to catch the boy, and began to order private dishes.
In the back kitchen, Tao Hongying had just finished serving the last dish, wiped the sweat from her forehead, tidied up briefly and went to find her mother-in-law and daughter.
As a result, as soon as she left the house, she saw Jia Huan running to announce the good news, "Fourth Aunt, have you ordered three more tables of private dishes?" "Really?" Tao Hongying smiled happily, "This is great."
Of course, craftsmen all over the world are looking forward to making more money and supporting their families, but this kind of recognition makes them even happier.
Mrs. Li and Jiayin were in the side room, and they all came out when they heard this.
Jiayin hugged her mother's thigh and shouted happily, "My mother is the best! My mother's cooking is the most delicious!"
Tao Hongying hugged the fat girl and gave her a big kiss on the face.
She is the only one in the family who knows best that today's success is at least half due to her daughter.
Without the recipes and special ingredients secretly given to her by her daughter, there would be no way to have these novel and delicious dishes.
There are also those famous flowers in the box. The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and Ye Shan went around and bought them. Most of them were seedlings that had not bloomed, or some were just seeds.
But when it was brought to the Ye family's yard, and then moved out, it became the blooming look that everyone is amazed by now.
Maybe it's all my daughter's miraculous abilities...
"My Fu girl is really amazing. Mom, I really benefit from you." Tao Hongying sighed and kissed her daughter several more times.
Jiayin was shy and nestled on my mother's shoulder, hugging her neck and twisting around.
Everyone laughed when they saw it. Mrs. Li patted her granddaughter on the back and scolded her, "My Fu Niu has grown up so much that she actually knows how to be shy!"
Li Laoer turned sideways to shield his granddaughter from the cold wind and suggested. , "Mom, there's nothing going on here, why don't we go back first?"
Li Zhensheng also quickly agreed, "Yes, mom, Jia Huan and I are here."
Mrs. Li did not insist, and said with a smile, "Okay , let's go back first."
Soon, Ye Shan drove the carriage to the back door, and the whole family got on it and returned to Suijintan.
At this time of year, everyone in Broken Gold Beach has also begun to experience cat winter.
Except for the old men in charge of patrols, who were basking in the sun and chatting at the base of the wall sheltered from the wind, there was no one else outside the village.
After entering the house, Mrs. Li asked Aunt He to take care of Jiayin, wash her hands and change clothes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she entered the second room, grabbed her son and asked in a low voice.
"Second brother, I've been thinking about asking you these past two days. Are you... interested in marrying again? That Miss Gong..."
Before my mother could finish speaking, Mr. Li's face turned red and he waved his hands vigorously.
"Mom, you are thinking too much! I have never thought about marrying again! And even if I marry again, I have to find someone of the same age. How can I find that girl Gong? She is not much older than Jiaren!"
Old Mrs. Li was relieved He took a breath, but was still confused, and asked, "Since you are not interested in Miss Gong, why do you take care of her in every possible way... We thought you were tempted!"
Li Laoer's face was so hot that he could fry an egg, so he hurriedly He responded, "Mom, Miss Gong's father was also murdered while on a study tour, and their family gradually declined because of this.
" I remembered that our eldest brother had suffered a lot in our family, so I felt sorry for their siblings, so I took more care of them. And I kept the etiquette, there was nothing irregular at all! "
