"Mr. Chu, then Old Man Cheng will bother you." Mrs. Cheng and the others got the rice, so they should have taken the people away.
However, looking at the food that was brought in, it was so fragrant that he hadn't smelled the aroma of rice for more than ten days.
We can only stay here and have a meal first. What kind of backbone does a very hungry person have?
Jiang Xinyan had been sitting quietly next to Chu Lixuan. It was the first time she met an ancient scholar. She didn't know if his awesome past was gone forever.
The old man Jiang Xinyan saw was just an ordinary old man with an ordinary down-to-earth attitude, without any trace of the arrogance of a great scholar.
However, Old Man Song still has a bit of the aura of a general. Jiang Xinyan thinks that maybe she is just a commoner and cannot see the arrogance and arrogance of Old Man Cheng!
"Mr. Chu, Old Man Song is not polite." Song Junchang clasped his fists.
Yang Wanlin is the reading companion. He has been silent since he came in, and I don't know what he is thinking.
At this time, Yang Wanlin bowed cautiously to Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan with tears in his eyes, "Thank you Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu for your gift."
His junior brother is still bedridden, and he doesn't know if he can survive until the New Year!
The main reason is that his children and grandchildren are useless, and he is selfish and does not give him food to eat. He is so angry that he has been bedridden.
Yang Wanlin's children and grandchildren are very filial. Although life is difficult, their family has nothing for him to worry about.
The eldest princess's grandmother and Jin Niang didn't recognize Taifu Cheng because he was too old, and they probably wouldn't recognize Jin Niang's father if he were here.
Taifu Cheng and Jin Niang's father were classmates, but their classmates also had bad feelings and bad relationships.
The eldest princess and Jin Niang don't know Taifu Cheng, but that doesn't mean that Taifu Cheng doesn't know them!
He was so surprised that even the eldest princess was exiled?
After not seeing each other for more than thirty years, the eldest princess is still so graceful and elegant, and Jin Niang still looks like her childhood.
"I have met the eldest princess. I am Cheng Shiyun." Taifu Cheng went up to see her. He knew that the eldest princess was the grandmother of Zhennan Hou.
However, he never dreamed that the Holy One would be so cruel and exile his own sister to this bitter cold place.
"Mr. Cheng? Why are you...here?" How did you become like this? Is this still the Taifu who is popular in the capital?
The eldest princess was really embarrassed to ask, so she asked a nonsense question. Who doesn't know that this amazing and talented man was exiled to Youzhou by her emperor brother?
More than forty years ago, all the wealthy ladies in the capital wanted to marry the young master at that time.
"Old man, I'm here to ask for Mr. Chu's protection. It's not easy to survive, and now there's a locust plague."
"Then, you all sit down to eat, and we'll talk after you finish the meal." The eldest princess saw that everyone was hungry.
It couldn't be that she Xuan'er didn't want to, so old man Cheng should come to get close to her!
Chu Lixuan was afraid that his grandmother would think too much about it and that it would be a sin if she didn't eat well.
"Grandma, please eat. We have already reached an agreement. From now on, we will give each of Mr. Cheng and the others half a catty of rice a day."
The eldest princess and her grandmother breathed a sigh of relief. The food they ate was extremely delicious. The Xuan'er couple were so awesome. .
Hao Baorong and Nie Cimeng followed Chu Lixuan and his wife to accompany the guests. There were three tables for other women and more than twenty tables for men, which showed how big the dining room was.
What can shock Cheng Xianhou is not an ordinary small dining room. After all, he is now a figure who has led 536 people to survive.
Chu Nu and the others saw a few strangers coming in to look for their eldest brother, so they used their special skills and cooked several dishes.
The braised beef is mixed with coriander and scallions, which is fragrant and colorful, the pork belly is stewed with Chinese cabbage, the ribs and potatoes are stewed in soup, and the hot and sour shredded pork is served.
The rice was placed in a row on a large wooden kettle, and the steaming heat exuded the alluring aroma of rice. Cheng Xianhou and the other five people swallowed unconsciously, thinking that they could do without food.
"Old man Cheng, old man Song, you all don't have to be polite. Eat as much as you like. You'll be satisfied with the food."
He's still a great scholar! Being so timid, Hao Baorong said proudly.
"Yes! Mr. Cheng, Mr. Song, you don't have to be polite if you want to eat whatever you want! We eat like this every day." Jiang Xinyan also felt that they were too reluctant to let go, and looked anxious.
Cheng Xianhou knew that they were not bragging, that's what their spies said when they returned.
After all, Song Daida was young and heard the fairy-looking young lady say this.
He couldn't wait to reach out with his chopsticks and pick up a piece of potato, wow! What is this! So delicious!
One bite after another, I couldn't stop, and there was pork stewed with cabbage. They usually hunted wild boars.
They also exchanged wild boar meat for cabbage with villagers from the local village.
But they have never cooked it like this!
Song Daida was almost full and he was embarrassed to eat any more. His grandfather and the others often taught them etiquette.
But, they find it useless because others are ruder than them.
Who is he showing off to? No one can understand! The villagers only cared about giving them more meat in exchange for more cabbage and radish...
At this time, he looked at the handsome and elegant Master Chu, and even the scars on Master Chu's face looked so cool.
There was also the beautiful woman next to Mr. Chu, with red lips and white teeth, and a fairy-like appearance. Song Daida couldn't help but remember the etiquette taught by his grandfathers.
When there are strangers at the table, he can only eat seven-quarters full, but he doesn't want to put down his chopsticks!
Therefore, Song Daida looked for something to say, and his eyes moved from the food to Jiang Xinyan with difficulty.
"Miss Fairy, we have had pork and cabbage before, but we have never cooked them together like this."
"Is it delicious when cooked like this?" Jiang Xinyan looked at the boy and still wanted to eat it, but for some unknown reason, she did not move her chopsticks. .
"It's delicious."
"It's delicious. Eat more."
"My grandfather and Grandpa Cheng said that when strangers are around, you can't eat too ugly."
"But, I saw you just waved your arms and took a big mouthful. It's so delicious!"
"Really? Hehe! The main thing is that the beef is so delicious!" I just
couldn't help but eat it. The etiquette you usually teach? In fact, I can still eat a lot more!
"It's true, then you go ahead and eat. This amount is enough for you."
Jiang Xinyan, who doesn't understand psychology, could see it on his face. I still want to eat, I really want to eat.
"Miss Fairy, you are such a good person!" Ouch! I continue to eat.
Song Daida stood up and filled another bowl of rice, then ate hard.
Old Man Cheng: "..." He is really lonely.
Old Man Song: "..." I have grown a lot, and I know how to get another bowl after asking.
Cheng Xianhou looked at his brother-in-law, who was a little more polite than usual, and then at the other tables where the children were eating happily.
He felt very guilty and ashamed in his heart!
