When Niang asked if he wanted to tell Brother Ouyang Jin about the treat, Ouyang Zhuang snorted lightly, "Forget it, let him stop worrying about it, it's our filial piety."

Tan wanted to laugh a little, but felt that Ouyang Jin deserved it.

Now he gets angry at work, drinking and complaining when he comes home is annoying, and now the whole family doesn't like to talk to him, even that little fairy Ziyun doesn't come to him anymore.

Asking her son to go down to rest, Mrs. Tan thought about it, went to the warehouse to pick out some wine and beautiful dishes for entertaining guests, and asked people to prepare a lot of small bonsai with chrysanthemums and cypresses, and sent them over there. go.He also sent someone to report all the special dishes and pastries at home, and asked what he wanted, and he was ready here.

Unexpectedly, the servant came back and said, "The young master was very happy to see the wine, dishes and bonsai chrysanthemums. He said thank you for your trouble. You don't need any of the dishes. You just need to send a few smart girls to help out on the day of the banquet. They have already asked Master Song who went to the Hongxing Tower personally took the spoon, and the eldest young master also said that he would bring back a table of noodles, so please ask your wife to taste it too."

Tan's first thought was disbelief, "He actually invited Master Song?"

She has been in the capital for many years, so she naturally knows the great name of Hongxing Building.Speaking of which, even she herself may not be able to invite others, but why is Ouyang Kang so capable?

Mrs. Tan was really curious this time, "What kind of guests did the young master invite?" Could it be that Master Song was looking at the face of the guests?

"I don't know about this villain. It seems that there are quite a lot of people. There must be at least three or four tables. The place for entertaining guests has been arranged. Although it is a bit crude, it is still very beautiful."

Mrs. Tan waved people to go down, and after thinking for a while, decided to send a few more capable people to help.Ouyang Zhuang was right, whether she liked Ouyang Kang or not, he was her stepson in name, and this stepson seemed to be getting better and better.Since he can't be strangled to death, why not make friends with him?

In order to accommodate Su Cheng's time, Ouyang Kang specially set the time for the treat on the afternoon of the [-]th, and it happened that Su Cheng had no class the next day.Even if you drink a few more glasses at night, you are not afraid of making mistakes when you are drunk.

Seeing that his apprentice was so obedient and obedient, Su Cheng sent his family a day in advance to send a whole carload of wine, all of which were high-quality products from Xiaodu Winery, which was absolutely priceless.

Nianfu had already heard about it, and this small wine shop has been supplying wine for the court since the previous dynasty.Ouyang Kang once drank in the water dragon team is his home brew.

However, in order to pursue quality, the Du family does not make a lot of wine every day. If it weren't for the special relationship between Su Cheng and Du Chuan, the descendant of Xiaodu Distillery, it would be impossible to make so much wine.

Adhering to the spirit of sharing half of the meeting, Nianfu left a few jars outside to entertain guests, and moved the rest upstairs to the newly established warehouse to hide.It is rare to receive such a good wine.How good is it to keep it and treat guests slowly?

Ouyang Kang is a gentleman, and a gentleman must be generous.He hesitated, "Don't be so stingy, what if you don't have enough to drink?"

But Nianfu glared at him, "Are you stupid? Give it at the beginning, and when you drink too much, who cares what you drink? Then take the wine sent by your family to make up for it, as long as it's not too bad. You can also fool me It's over. If you give back such a good wine, it will be a waste!"

A gentleman thinks about it too.So he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes as an accomplice.

Although the treat was only in the afternoon, the two of them got busy at home from early morning.The business at the stall couldn't stop, so I asked Mo Yun to bring Xilaile, anyway, everything was ready-made, and they were familiar with it, so they knew it all.

The drinks were just put away here, and the servant girl Tan sent to help arrived first.There were eight men and women in total, and they all put on exactly the same clean clothes, looking very neat.

The leading girl was Aqi, very happy to see the old master she had served, greeted Ouyang Kang, took out the burden she was carrying, and said, "My wife ordered us to bring all the servants who are in charge of the reception in the mansion." A set of clothes, even if we are clumsy at that time, but tidy up more vigorously, so that the guests can look at them in a happy mood, and we can be more tolerant."

This is really something that only the mistress of the house can think of. Ouyang Kang hurriedly thanked him again, and decided to let Aqi and other four maids and Wuer Liuer serve at the banquet, and a few handsome servants would greet them outside the door. , the other servants are busy behind, so be sure not to be rude.

After a quick meal at noon and a short rest, the guests came to the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Su Cheng who came the most actively, but Su Da Mingshi did not come by himself, but was arrested by Du Chuan.

When Nianfu met the head of Xiaodu Distillery for the first time, he had a good impression of him.Although this uncle's appearance is much more ordinary than Su Cheng's, he is very attractive, and his smile is gentle and kind, which naturally makes people more willing to get close to him.Moreover, what he said was more elder-like than someone like Su.

"As an apprentice running wine, a teacher can be regarded as a half-master. Akang, you should take him to look around the garden first. If there is anything wrong, quickly fix it. Find another place for someone to take me to sieve wine." , otherwise it will be too late once these people start drinking."

Hearing the blessing, his heart was very ironed. Such a high-quality and excellent uncle is obviously the best candidate to be a good husband and father. How could he cause Su Cheng such a scourge?

Just when Nianfu decided to accompany him personally and get close to this uncle, Zhong Shan stepped forward to say hello, "This way please."

Du Chuan was slightly startled, as if he recognized Zhong Shan.Ouyang Kang stepped forward and introduced, "This is our housekeeper, Zhong Shan."

Du Chuan laughed suddenly, his eyes were slightly wet, but he smiled very gratified, "That's very good, it's the best, let's have Butler Lao Zhong lead the way."

It was hard for anyone to keep up now, so Zhong Shan had to take the people away.Ouyang Kang accompanied Su Cheng to visit the houses and dilapidated houses where the banquet was being prepared, and when Nianfu turned his head, Song Siyuan and a group of disciples and grandchildren were ushered in.

Song Siyuan first offered a gift politely, and then said, "Uncle Shi has something to do in the temporary palace, so he will be here later. But we have brought all the ingredients for his special dish, so we can't miss it."

"You are too polite! Master Song is already showing face by coming here, how dare you ask Master Yu to take action?"

Song Siyuan smiled and said, "It should. If you want, help me to see the mooncakes I baked. I have tried it several times, but they are not as good as yours. My uncle said that the recipe and the heat are not right. Can you help me to the end? Is there a problem?"

Just when he was about to answer, he suddenly heard the report from the doorman, "Master Sun from Ruyiju is here, sister, is this also invited by you?"

No!Let people come in first, Sun Baixi heard that it was just in time for Ouyang's family to treat guests, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to come to help.

"Let's not talk about anything else, Sister Mu, let me make some dim sum for you first." Sun Baixi was about to sell it first, when he saw the mooncake brought by Song Siyuan, his eyes widened, "You Do this too? Are you—"

Song Siyuan looked at him and smiled, "Hongxinglou, Song Siyuan."

Sun Baixi opened his mouth wide, "Ah! So it's Boss Song, I've admired him for a long time."

Song Siyuan also smiled, "Ruyiju's jade dew balls, six-petal plum blossom crisps, and mandala sandwich cakes are also very popular, and I have heard of them for a long time."

While the two of them were clasping hands together, Nian Fu hurriedly interjected, "Master Song, I'm really sorry, I gave the mooncake recipe to Ruyiju, so I can't answer any questions you have about it. But today I also made other side dishes, if you like something, I will tell you the truth. Master Sun, why are you here?"

Sun Baixi said ashamedly, "Sister Mu, you kindly taught me last time, but unfortunately I didn't take it to heart. Now I can't bake the mooncake well, so I have the audacity to come to ask for advice again. But let's put this matter aside first, and prepare it first. Let's have a banquet. Hurry up and take me to the kitchen, I'll make some snacks first, as an apology."

Song Siyuan smiled and said, "If Master Sun doesn't dislike it, I would also like to ask you for advice."

"What's the matter? Let's discuss together, let's go."

As if afraid that Nianfu would not agree, Sun Baixi dragged Song Siyuan into the kitchen like burning his butt.

This is a red case and a white case, and I am not afraid that the other party will steal the teacher.Besides, these veterans all know how much they have learned from others and how much they should teach. Everyone knows in their hearts, so Nianfu doesn't have to follow along to join in the fun, and prepares the side dishes she is responsible for.

Chicken feet, scallion pancakes, Mr. Su's ordered items are all ready, and some things he didn't order, Nianfu also prepared.

When Ouyang Zhuang finished his work in the yamen and went home to change his clothes to prepare for the banquet, the first banquet that the two chefs jointly created to test the waters was also sent.

Seeing the dazzling array of dishes and dim sum on the table, Tan was startled, "This...these are all made by Hongxinglou?"

The servant who delivered the food shook his head, "Some are made by Hongxinglou, and some are made by the chef of Ruyiju. The young master said that there will be a royal chef to come later, and cook the dishes and send them to honor you."

Tan's jaw dropped to the ground, a Hongxing building would be a big deal, and Ruyiju, the most famous selling gold nest in the capital?Even the royal chef?This Ouyang Kang is now in such a mess?

"The kid wants to treat you? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Suddenly, Ouyang Jin came back from get off work early, just in time for him.

Ouyang Zhuang's heart sank, what should we do?

■

Standing in front of the dilapidated house in Lirenfang, seeing Ouyang Kang's surprised expression, Ouyang Zhuang also felt very sorry for his elder brother.

Who knew that Ouyang Jin would be so cheeky and insist on coming along?After all, he is his own father, so can he refuse?Besides, even if Ouyang Zhuang refused, wouldn't Ouyang Jin not recognize his way?

Instead of letting him come to the door to make it boring for his elder brother, Ouyang Zhuang thinks it's better to be the bad guy himself.At least he was with him, and if he was scolded, there would be more people to listen to.

Looking at the newly repaired gate, Ouyang Jin stepped in even if he didn't regard himself as an outsider. He puffed up his chest like a leader inspecting, and even commented, "The gate is the face of a family, why are you so stingy? You don’t need some colorful bricks to make it look, what’s the mess on the wall! And the rockery in front of the door, it’s ugly as hell, find someone to move it quickly, it’s disgusting to look at!”

Ouyang Kang and Ouyang Zhuang looked at each other, feeling a bit like brothers and sisters in trouble.Look, this is our dad.No matter how bad it is, just suppressing the word filial piety is not something they can say or touch. What should we do? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
