On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 290 Tea Serving 3
Xiao Xiao picked up the sea cucumber for her because she wanted to eat it. After picking it up, she realized that she had no part to eat it now, so she could only put it in Mrs. Li's bowl.

Unexpectedly, I heard that Mrs. Li was disgusted.

She didn't find it strange at all, she just disliked herself.

If she praises herself all the time, she will still doubt whether she wants to flatter him or not.

Nowadays, it is normal to find faults like this.

She still whispered softly: "Mom, sea cucumber is a treasure in the sea. It can not only replenish blood, but also lubricate the skin, and has the effect of removing wrinkles and nourishing the skin."

"I saw wrinkles at the corners of my mother's eyes, so I wanted her to eat more sea cucumbers?"

Mrs. Li subconsciously touched her face, and then felt that she could not be led by Xiao Xiao. She used her hand to hold the hairpin on her bun, and said lightly: "I am not an old monster, how can I not Will there be wrinkles?”

What she fears most is that she will grow old and have wrinkles on her face, so she eats and drinks very carefully.

In fact, although she is already in her forties, she takes good care of herself and does not look old.

As for the wrinkles Xiao Xiao was talking about, they were just a little bit at the corner of the eyes after smiling too much.

Xiao Xiao was not frightened by her cold face, and still smiled and said: "My father and mother look very young."

"Mom, eat more sea cucumbers and squid, which are good for beauty."

Tsk, tsk, tsk, after all, this is the general's mansion, and there are all delicacies on the table. But if she is not familiar with it, she doesn't know what these dishes are.

Mrs. Li also said: "That's all, give me some fish maw."

She bet that Xiao Xiao, who was ignorant, would not be able to recognize the big dishes on the table.

Even if the Xiao family gave Xiao Xiao a dowry from the seafood restaurant, she thought it was just bragging.

Real seafood is expensive, so I must have added some seaweed, shrimp, hairtail, etc., so I can say that I opened a seafood restaurant.

Xiao Xiao firmly put a chopstick of fish maw into her bowl: "Fish maw nourishes the kidneys, mother, eat more."

Mrs. Li secretly took a breath and said, "Give me a spoonful of shark fin."

She couldn't believe that the shark's fins and crabs had all turned into soup. She was afraid that the big fish wouldn't even recognize her own wings when it came.

This dish was rare and expensive, so she didn't believe that Xiao Xiao could eat it.

"Yes." Xiao Xiao accurately used the spoon to give her a spoonful of shark fin.

Since opening the overseas restaurant, Xiao Xiao has been going to Huo Huo's own seafood frequently.

Many people think it is expensive, but Xiao Xiao thinks it is worth it.

This is pure natural and pollution-free seafood. It is happiness to be able to eat it.

Besides, most of what she got was ill-gotten wealth, so she wouldn't feel bad about spending it no matter how much she got.

She felt that if Mrs. Li didn't target her, the two of them could go out to taste delicious food together.

It's rare that the two of them have similar tastes. What she likes to eat, she also likes.

If she was not allowed to just watch and eat, she was worried that her Five Zang Temple would rebel.

Duck stuffed with glutinous rice, whitebait, braised fresh mushrooms, braised fish maw, bird's nest and shredded chicken soup, sea cucumber braised deer tendon, shark fin and crab soup, fish maw braised ham, Mingfu bream.

There are also several big dishes. Forgive her ignorance, she really can't tell what the raw materials are.

Fortunately, she opened a seafood restaurant, which not only allowed her to satisfy her appetite, but also allowed her to deal with her mother-in-law's difficulties at the moment.

Fortunately, although Mrs. Li really wanted to use Xiao Xiao, she didn't want others to laugh. She looked at her daughter-in-law and smiled and said, "Okay, I know you are filial, so why don't you all sit down and eat? Don't just be filial to me." In a small family, when a bride comes in, she is not familiar with her aunt's food habits, so she sends her sister-in-law to taste it first.

But for wealthy families like theirs, many have cooks. If the bride picks some chopsticks for her mother-in-law, she is considered serving her mother-in-law.

"Yes." Xiao Xiao looked around and saw that there were eight tables for the women. Seeing that there were two empty seats at the next table, she smiled and invited Zhou Yunru: "Brothers and sisters, let's sit over there?"

After Mrs. Zhou heard that the Li family was going to marry an ordinary peasant girl to their eldest son, she thought of the peasant girls she had met and the daughter-in-law of a small family, and she was worried that the elder sister-in-law, who took the elder brother, would behave vulgarly and have short-sightedness.

But she was not the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and it was not her turn to question the marriage of the eldest son of the concubine of the Li family.

So today she also paid special attention to Xiao Xiao, but she saw that she was beautiful and agile, and she was not shy at all when facing so many unfamiliar Li family in-laws.

There is no pettiness in his behavior or speech at all.

It made her wonder whether Mrs. Xiao was from a wealthy family. Did she know that her mother-in-law would not let Li Yan marry a girl from a wealthy family, so she let her father-in-law and Li Yan team up to steal a dragon for a phoenix, hiding the truth from the truth.

Otherwise, why would her mother-in-law be unable to do anything about her?

However, when she invited him to dinner and looked at the way she was eating, Zhou felt that she was not a girl from a wealthy family.

How can any of our girls have such a good appetite for food as she does?
Like her, no matter how palatable the dish is, she will pick it up three to five times at most.

But as for Ms. Xiao, she ate one-third of the dish.

Although I didn't chew it carefully, it was good that I didn't gobble it up.

Xiao Xiao knew that everyone at the table was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, but he was not ready to restrain himself.

She is the daughter of a small family, how could she be perfect?
Moreover, the food was so delicious, even better than the dishes made by the chef she hired.

She couldn't help but want to dig into the wall.

However, thinking that the kitchen can also be regarded as the important place of the general's mansion, and the chef in it must be in the hands of Mrs. Li, then he should not have any illusions.

Originally, she wanted to wait until after marriage, and then whenever she found an opportunity, she would go to the guard station under the guise of serving her husband.

But now she hesitated.

The food at the General's Mansion is really to her liking. Why don't she eat a few more times before leaving?

Although Mrs. Li let her two daughters-in-law go to the banquet, she also paid attention to them from the corner of her eye. She saw that Mr. Zhou was really very steady. After eating a few chopsticks, she started talking to the ladies at the same table, talking and laughing, and she could really count. The top is long-sleeved and good at dancing.

As for Mr. Xiao, after sitting down, the chopsticks never stopped.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li smiled instead. She knew that Mr. Xiao was holding it back earlier to leave a good impression, but now the secret was revealed.

She was in a good mood, her appetite improved, and she ate more.

By the time the banquet was over, she felt that her stomach was still a little full.

But she was the mistress of the house, so she couldn't leave her distinguished guest to go out for a few rounds to eat.

Nowadays, the carriages and horses are slower, and the human touch is stronger.

The members of the Li family came to help greet the guests or take care of some trivial matters two days before the wedding. Now that the newlyweds have come in, in order to thank them for their help, they are also treated to a few more banquets.

As for the relatives and friends, some are from Yuhang, and some are from outside. It takes several days to go back and forth, so they have to stay for a few more days.

Therefore, the General's Mansion was also extremely lively.

Xiao Xiao relied on the fact that she was a bride and it was appropriate to be shy, so she rarely spoke.

After eating, I took advantage of the excuse to change my clothes and went back to the yard to rest.
