MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 585 He family banquet
Jin'er and Yan Jie'er had both come to see it in advance, so they were very familiar with each other. On the contrary, Tai Ge'er and the others had not seen each other because they had been taking Confucius' class before, so they were naturally curious about everything they looked at.
Jie Yan and Jin'er took the initiative to lead the way for their brothers, and they seemed to be somewhat of masters.
Du Jingxiang was holding her belly from behind, and Du Jingyi was supporting her. The two sisters looked at this scene and felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
He Shilin also specially took two days off and rushed back to accompany him in moving to the new house. Now that his parents, wife, and children can be reunited and have settled down in Sui'an City, he feels quite relieved.
So, after accompanying everyone around the house, we invited them all to sit in the flower hall.
The He family's house doesn't have that much space, it can accommodate at most three tables, but fortunately it's summer, so there are also tables set up in the small waterside pavilion and pavilion, and they are specially decorated with gauze and bead curtains, which is quite unique. The ingenuity is there.
When the eldest aunt saw this, she quickly praised her a few times.
"Mrs. Du is really good at giving birth. The two daughters are not only as beautiful as flowers, but this idea is also very good. Look, with such an arrangement, the mood of eating dinner will be three points more. It seems that we are in a good mood today. "
Her words were sincere, so everyone in the He family was grateful.
The maids led everyone to sit down. They originally thought that the tables in the room should be reserved for distinguished guests like the eldest aunt and the others, but they were more interested in what was displayed in the pavilion, so they went there with an appointment. There.
Mrs. Guo San had eaten a lot of banquets in Sui'an City, but this was her first time sitting in front of a pavilion like this, so she looked around curiously, and then said with admiration.
“The scenery here is beautifully restored. Please introduce these masters to me tomorrow. The Guo family’s house has been used for several years and it’s time for some renovations.”
Seeing this, Aunt Xing said jokingly.
"Then you have to queue up. These masters are still repairing my house now. It will take two months to do anything. Can you wait?"
"What can't you wait for? As long as the masters are good at their craftsmanship, I'm happy to wait even half a year."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi actually smiled.
It seems that he did a good job in exchanging the house-warming idea for a stake in this brick and mortar team. Although he pretended to be working for his relatives and did not make much money, he had a steady flow of customers and a good reputation, etc. Now that the Guo family's house has been repaired, their reputation will become even louder to the outside world.
So, seeing another way to make money, Du Jingyi was naturally happy.
After a while, today’s dishes were brought out. Many of the dishes were seen for the first time by everyone, so Du Jingxiang explained from the side.
"These are Pingzhou dishes. I asked Dan Ruolai and the cook at home to change some of the flavors. This not only retains the characteristics of Pingzhou, but also won't make everyone think the taste is too exciting, so everyone will try it. , if they think it’s delicious, I’ll ask them to make it next time.”
Pingzhou’s cuisine is slightly similar to Cezhou’s.
However, it is not as rough as Cezhou, but it is not as delicate as Jinling City. It has a simple and unpretentious beauty. It looks like ordinary ingredients, but after eating it, you realize that it has a unique taste.
Everyone has been taught to be naughty, and it is not easy to get their praise.
Therefore, Du Jingxiang looked at everyone's expressions expectantly, for fear of missing out. As a result, after everyone tasted it one by one, everyone was attracted by it, and almost every dish was praised.
Seeing this, her heart was shattered, and she quickly introduced him. "Danruo's skills are really amazing. She always comes up with something new in every dish she handles. You can tell that she is good at it as soon as you eat it. You girl, I'm really greedy once you see me. I wish I could just bring it to you." Go to the new house."
Aunt Xing happily praised Danruo, which made Du Jingyi a little "unhappy". She immediately took her eldest aunt's hand coquettishly and said.
"Auntie has to make the decision. Look at my aunt like this. She talks about it every time she comes. She was so scared that as soon as I heard that she was coming, I ordered Danruo to cook and hid in a hurry. I was afraid that she would give in to her. If we leave, won't we be deprived of food?"
The eldest aunt has the best relationship with Aunt Xing, but she is not afraid of making jokes and replied to her immediately.
“Don’t worry, I’m here to keep you in check. I wonder if Yun Qing is making trouble?”
Aunt Xing also has a "yin and yang" attitude.
"Yes, yes, you are all a family. I am an individual visitor from outside. I heard that this house is fragrant and beautiful, so I came here to join in the fun. Don't drive me out! "
Her performance also made everyone present laugh non-stop, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm, which can be regarded as having the effect of keeping the house warm.
Not far away, the two elders of the He family, the Du family, and He Shilin were sitting in the flower hall with their children. Listening to the laughter coming from outside from time to time, they felt happy in their hearts.
Then Aunt He saw that there were children on both sides, so she deliberately lowered her voice, approached Mrs. Du and said.
“I originally thought that the noble ladies in these wealthy families would be very polite and not smiley, but now it sounds like they are no different from us ordinary people.”
Mrs. Du smiled and didn't think there was anything wrong with her mother-in-law's words at all, and then explained.
“Isn’t it the same? They all eat whole grains, how can they have more eyes than us?”
“What my mother-in-law said is interesting.”
"But the Gu family, the Guo family, and this aunt from the Xing family are really easy to get along with, but not all of them are so approachable. You will also be walking around Sui'an City in the future. See you later, I Let me tell you again, some ladies still look at people through their nostrils."
Hearing this, Aunt He nodded. After all, this was in line with her impression of these ladies.
Then, we started eating well again.
The meal was prepared well this time, and everyone was a little bit unsatisfied.
Especially after eating, I had a sip of warm sweet and sour sugar water, which made everyone a little curious.
"What's this?"
“Hawthorn drink is best for digestion. I asked them to cool it down in advance, so it’s easier to drink.”
“This stuff is good, but there is a recipe for it. Let’s take it back so that the cook at home can learn from it.”
Mrs. Guo San opened her mouth, so Du Jingxiang naturally wanted to offer it. Fortunately, this recipe is not complicated, so it can be used immediately.
