next day
Gu Xiangsi got up early in the morning, had dinner with Xiling Yan, went to see her two sons, then cleaned up, took Chu Qing and Fei Shu out to the appointment.
Arrived at Baiweiju by car all the way smoothly, and Ye Wuyue, who is lazy and loves his daughter-in-law, is also there, hum!The rice here is not so delicious.
Ye Wuyue just felt sorry for Wen Yan who had to cook too early and worked too hard, eh?In fact, Yefu also has a cook, he just thinks about the food!It's still delicious in Baiweiju, so I often come here to eat and drink.
Since Wen Yan figured out some things, she has become more and more beautiful.
Ye Wuyue saw his master staring at Wen Yan and smiling meaningfully, Wen Yan's pink cheeks were almost ripe red apples.He stepped forward and stood sideways in front of Wen Yan, watching his master smile a little guilty, coughed lightly and said, "Master, you are here at Baiweiju today... there must be something important, right?"
"Well, there is something important." Gu Xiangsi nodded lightly, reached out and took Ye Wuyue's hand, felt the pulse on his wrist, gave him an angry look, pushed him away, walked to Beside Wen Yan, he took her hand, took her pulse carefully, shook his head and sighed, turned around and glared at Ye Wuyue, and severely reprimanded: "You have learned this medical skill for nothing? Even your own wife's body is too weak. I can't manage it well. You men, when it comes to being careful and considerate, are still inferior to women. You really have the same virtue as your master. You usually behave so gentle and considerate, but in fact you are still careless and neglect your wife a lot. Sigh! That's enough, turn around Get some tonics for Jinniang to nourish and condition her lower body, so that Jinniang will not suffer more when she is pregnant."
Ye Wuyue was reprimanded by his master in public, and he obediently bowed his head to receive the training. After his master went upstairs, he turned around and whispered to Wen Yan: "Did you hear that? Master said you need to make up more , but you can’t be picky eaters and don’t eat here or where?”
Wen Yan blushed and lowered her head, hearing him blame her so shamelessly, she raised her head and glared at him angrily, then turned around and went back to her seat.
Who caused her weakness?It wasn't because he was too demanding, she was exhausted after tossing around every night before going to bed, and when she woke up early... Anyway, Sister Xiangsi was right, men are like beasts in clothes.
"Liu'er, bring me some bird's nest with rock sugar, I want blood bird's nest! Master said that Niang Jin should mend it." Ye Wuyue is as thick-skinned as a city wall with his master.
Many people seriously suspect that the cold-blooded genius doctor they know is a fake, and the real Ye Wuyue should be what they see now.
Wen Yan blushed and tugged at his sleeves, it wasn't because he was short of money, why did he button up like this as soon as he arrived at Baiweiju?They don't even give money for meals, and even get free food and drink, and they are not afraid of making people laugh.
"Master has always been very generous and generous to his own people. She is happy when we eat and still take it. If we don't see her, she will definitely lose her temper." The old man Ye Wuyue said , In fact, it is Gu Xiangsi's own grandfather, Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu has a very strange temper. He is not afraid that his own people will eat and take advantage of him, but he is the most annoying to his own people and his politeness.
If he gets angry about this, the crutch in his hand can be thrown out and hit you all over the head.
He has experienced this kind of temper before, and it doesn't hurt very much. After all, living people will hide when they encounter danger, and they usually just hit their arms and legs, and the pain point will not cause any serious hindrance.
"The old man's temper?" Wen Yan really has never heard of such a temper, but Sister Xiangsi is really such a person. She has always been very generous and caring for her own people.
……
On the third floor, private room.
Gu Xiangsi invites Zi Ying and his family to come today, so naturally they cannot be disturbed.
Simply, the banquet was arranged in the private room on the third floor, not too noble to scare Zi Ying, and not too low to make people feel that she was neglecting the guests.
As soon as Ziying saw Gu Xiangsi walking in with her maidservant, she held a young man's hand, walked over to salute, her cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head and introduced softly: "Princess, this is... Brother Ari Arige, this is Princess Zhen, who is also our boss."
"Xiaomin has seen the concubine." Cao Rui has seen the world, and he is very considerate to Gu Xiangsi, but he is neither humble nor overbearing, and is generous.
"Xiao Cao, right? No courtesy! Go back and sit down." Gu Xiangsi smiled warmly, looked at Cao Rui, and felt that this person was not bad, worthy of Zi Ying.
Zi Ying and Cao Rui followed Gu Xiangsi back to the table and sat down, and introduced everyone to Gu Xiangsi.
Gu Xiangsi saw that there are quite a few people here today?Presumably, both families are here, right?She raised her hand, indicating that they don't need to be too polite, and they should all sit down first.
Zi Ying and Cao Rui sat separately. After all, according to the rules, she had to sit next to her brother and sister-in-law, while Cao Rui had to sit next to her parents.
Gu Xiangsi was sitting in the main seat on the north side, and seeing that there were two other children, she looked at Fei Shu and said, "Take them to the Rainbow Room on the second floor, where there are many children and many toys, let them play for a while, and it will be fine." It saves you from being boring sitting with us adults."
"Yes." Fei Shu replied, then took out some peanut candies that he had with him, and coaxed the child to go out with her.
Zi Ying saw that her sister-in-law seemed worried about her nephew and niece, so she approached her in a low voice and said, "The Rainbow House is a place for children to play, there are games and food inside, and children can't go hungry."
After hearing Ziying's words, Hong did not get up rudely to chase after the child.
Zi Ying's elder brother, Jiang Qiu, turned his head and glared at Hong Shi, as if he felt ashamed to bring Hong Shi out.
Gu Xiangsi smiled and told Chuqing again: "Go to the kitchen and have a look, the dishes are ready, let's serve them! Let's all have dinner, drink tea later, let's talk about things."
"Hey, I listen to you, Wangfei." Where have the two elders of the Cao family and the second elders of the Jiang family seen such kind noble people, Wangfei!In their whole life, they could still see such noble people, and the noble people invited them to dinner, but they had to show off to everyone when they went back.
Chu Qing bowed her head and said "yes", then turned around, walked over to open the door and went out, then closed the door behind her.
Gu Xiangsisu held the cup in her hand and lowered her head to sip the tea. When she looked up, she saw the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl next to Cao Rui, staring at the things on her body. She put down the teacup and picked a crabapple from her bun. Flower's golden hairpin, stretched out his hand to her and said with a smile: "Give it to you, it's my little sister's meeting gift for you."
Cao Rui pressed his mother's hand that was going to be raised in time, and looked at his parents with a frown. This is something that the princess gave to the younger sister. How can others be allowed to take it indiscriminately?
Cao's mother just saw the preciousness of this golden hairpin, and she became greedy for a while, but fortunately her son stopped her, otherwise, she would die of embarrassment this time.
Seeing that Miss Cao was about to get up and reach across the table to receive the reward from the concubine, Zi Ying hurriedly stood up, walked over quickly, reached out to take the golden hairpin respectfully, bowed her head and said softly: "Thank you, concubine, for the reward."
"Huh? Alright! Then you can send it to her." Gu Xiangsi didn't feel displeased about it. Girls in ancient times didn't study, and they couldn't go out to gain knowledge. Some of them didn't understand etiquette, but it was understandable , there's no need to be so harsh on a little girl, isn't it?
Cao's mother looked at Zi Ying with some displeasure. This is the golden hairpin that the princess rewarded her daughter. Why did she go to thank her for the gift?
Ziying didn't look at Mother Cao's displeased face, she walked over, handed the golden hairpin to Xiaomei Cao, and explained to her softly: "When the princess rewards something, you can't reach across the table to pick it up, you have to go to the princess' side Only by thanking you can you accept the gift. Also, the princess has rewarded you, you should get up and walk over to thank the princess, come on!"
Cao's mother heard Zi Ying's words, and saw Zi Ying helping her daughter to go to Gu Xiangsi, her old face couldn't help turning red, so it was her fault that Zi Ying missed Zi Ying?
well!These noble people have a lot of rules, they have to be particular about how to receive something when they give something, they have to go forward to thank them, and thanking across the table is not acceptable.
Cao Xiaomei walked up to Gu Xiangsi, lowered her head and bowed stiffly: "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."
"Well, as long as you like it." Gu Xiangsi smiled gently, and was very tolerant towards these little girls.But when she saw Cao Xiaomei staring at the bracelet and ring on her hand with bright eyes, a look of displeasure appeared in her eyes, and the smile on her lips faded a lot: "This is the relic of my mother-in-law Concubine Lian, but You can't give it to others at will. Zi Ying, you all go back and sit down."
"Yes, Concubine." Zi Ying's face turned pale all of a sudden, she hurriedly pulled Cao Xiaomei away, and sent her back to her seat, she walked over and sat down nervously.
When Cao Rui saw Zi Ying's nervous and frightened eyes, he wanted to get up and apologize to Gu Xiangsi, but Zi Ying winked at him again, and he didn't move anymore.
After all, Cao's father was also a person who traveled all over the world to help others beat furniture. When he saw Ziying and his son playing flirtatiously, and seeing the town princess drinking tea with a smile and not talking, what else did he not understand?
well!If I had known earlier, I would not have brought this girl here. For something that is not greedy, the concubine's easy-going reward with a golden hairpin is a great gift from heaven.
But this ignorant girl is actually greedy for the relics of other people's mother-in-law. Anyone who puts it on her will feel unhappy!
Mother Cao didn't think too much about it, she also thought that the bracelet on Gu Xiangsi's wrist was beautiful, and the gems on that ring were really red and bright, what a pity!This is a relic of the mother-in-law, so it is impossible to give it to country people like them at will.
However, there are still many good things about this princess!Look at the gold inlaid jade ring hanging on the waist, and the hairpins and hairpins on the head, the most beautiful one must be the big golden flower jingling... I don't know what it is, look It looks very expensive and beautiful.
Zi Ying's mother naturally wanted to get some reward from Gu Xiangsi, but she was more contemptuous of Cao's mother's greedy eyes.Such a family still wants to marry her daughter?Pooh!
Jiang's father is steady enough, but in fact he is an honest person, not too fancy.
"Princess, what is that jingle on your head? It looks really good. When I go back to our house, I want to give Ziying one too." Mother Cao said this time, she thought it was euphemistic enough. , but in fact it is no different from directly opening your mouth to ask someone for something.
The cost of a golden step inlaid with east pearls may not be affordable for their family to save for 20 years.
Ziying's complexion became paler and uglier now, but she could not lose her temper with Cao's mother, but lowered her eyes and whispered softly: "Aunt Cao, Jin Buyao can only be worn by concubines in the palace and some nobles of the royal family. Let alone us ordinary people, even the wives and daughters of ordinary officials cannot wear it. If you wear it without authorization, it is... a crime."
"What? This...is it a sin to wear this thing?" Cao's mother was terrified this time, old lady!The things on these noble people are really not something they can covet casually.
"Well, some things... need to be worn by people. The golden hairpin given by the princess to the younger sister is fine. It's just something from Zhenbaoxuan, not a gift from the palace." Ziying explained clearly to them this time, hoping they But don't think about it anymore, the things on the princess, are they what people like them can covet at will?
Chu Qing has already returned, opened the door and walked in, walked back behind Gu Xiangsi, bowed and bowed her head and replied: "Go back to Wangfei, the dishes are ready."
"Then let's serve the food." Even if Gu Xiangsi was looking at Zi Ying's face, she would not give the two of them face.
What's more, she agreed to make an apology to them. After dinner, she still has something to do, and she wants to apologize to the two of them.
Chuqing went out, and the person who was leading the food came in wave after wave.
In fact, Baiweiju has a lot of manpower, and it is generally not allowed for girls to serve male guests.
Because these girls are serving some female customers, and some of them are all wives and ladies of high family background. It's not good to let a mistress serve them.
Today, there are [-] hot and cold dishes at this table, and cold dishes and drinks are served first.
There are two types of wine, one is blueberry fruit wine and the other is bamboo leaf green wine.
In short, it is not a spirit, but a wine that goes with the dishes.
Gu Xiangsi saw that Ziying stared at the serving chopsticks with an ugly face, so she smiled and gently ordered: "Chuqing, remove the serving chopsticks."
"Yes." Chu Qing replied, and walked over, putting away the serving chopsticks one by one, and then walked to the tall table beside her, and temporarily put the serving chopsticks on it.
Hong pressed and twisted Jiang Qiu's waist. A shameless man can straighten his eyes when he sees a servant, bah!
Jiang Qiu felt that he couldn't be blamed for being lecherous, but that the servant girl next to the concubine of Zhen was too juicy. Her small hands were as tender as boiled eggs with their shells peeled off, her fingers were slender, her figure was slender, her face was pretty, and she was more beautiful than his family. This yellow-faced woman is much stronger.
"Chuqing, cloth vegetables." Gu Xiangsi naturally saw Jiang Qiu staring at Chuqing, but she couldn't turn her face on the spot, so she could only call Chuqing to her side and ask her to help her prepare vegetables, so as to avoid Chuqing was harassed by some people.
Liu'er came up to serve Zi Ying in person, after all those girls and Zi Ying are good sisters, let them serve Zi Ying, Zi Ying and them will feel at ease when they turn around, won't they?
But it's not appropriate for the princess to be served by other mistresses, so he can only serve in person.
The Cao Jiang family had never been served like this before, and this feeling really made them a little bit flustered.
Liu'er has endured hardships with Li Haoyue, why didn't he suffer from anger, how could he be unhappy and angry because Jiang Qiu ordered him a few times?
He was not angry, for Zi Ying's sake, there was no need to be angry with Jiang Qiu.
Ziying looked at Liu'er apologetically, this time she really wronged Brother Liu'er.
Perhaps Gu Xiangsi was too kind, once she asked Chu Qing to move her chopsticks, the two families would be really rude.
She doesn't care about these, let alone rural people who can't eat a few good meals throughout the year, even in her big family in her previous life, the whole family gets together during the New Year and holidays, isn't it the same rustic look?
This is also true, it’s nothing, being able to eat and drink is a blessing, it’s better than ordering and not eating, turning back and throwing away wasted food, right?
Eat, let go and eat.If they feel that it is not enough, they can even eat and take like Ye Wuyue. The most important thing in Baiweiju is food, isn't it?
Zi Ying has been watching the princess carefully, but the princess is really not angry, she seems to understand the voracious eating behavior of the two families.
call!She had forgotten that the concubine also grew up in the countryside, so she should be familiar with such a banquet person, right?
But even so, the princess is good enough.
If it were someone else who flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix, they would definitely look disgusted when they saw their family devouring their food.
It didn't take long for the hot dishes to be served one by one.
Sichuan dishes include twice-cooked pork, Dongpo elbow, and mapo tofu.
Hunan cuisine includes Dong'an chicken, golden fish playing with lotus, and steamed cured meat.
Cantonese dishes include Braised Suckling Pigeon, Liao Ginseng with Abalone Sauce, and Roast Suckling Pig in Open Oven.
Shandong dishes include grilled abalone in the original shell, fairy duck, and jade belt shrimp.
Such four major cuisines make up twelve dishes.
But almost all meat dishes, plus the previous six cold dishes, must be enough to eat.
"Didn't it mean that rich people eat abalone's wing belly? Is there any abalone's wing belly on this table?" Cao's mother looked at the table of delicious dishes, why did she feel that they were all ordinary chicken, fish, meat and eggs, which she had never seen before? How many rare dishes are there?
"If you like abalone, sea cucumber, bird's nest, etc., I can get someone to serve it for you. But shark's fin is too cruel, and I have banned it from Baiweiju." Gu Xiangsi drank this black-bone chicken, red dates, wolfberry and longan soup, and they all didn't like it. Drinking, and only she drank it, so it can't be done in vain, right?
"How cruel is the shark's fin?" Jiang Qiu gnawed on a pigeon, and looked at the princess of the town in puzzlement. She was so beautiful. No wonder she became the princess of the town from a village girl.
"Shark fins are taken from shark fins. A shark only has a pair of fins. Is it crueler to cut off their fins alive and throw them into the sea to fend for themselves?" Gu Xiangsi put the soup bowl on Looking at Jiang Qiu on the table, he said with a faint smile, "So, I don't eat shark's fins, and Baiweiju doesn't buy shark's fins either. It's too cruel. If you eat something, you just kill them. Why bother to torture them like this? You don't want to let death be a pleasure." , isn't it cruel?"
They really didn't know how the shark's fins came from, and when they heard that the fins were taken so cruelly, they stopped clamoring to eat them.
Gu Xiangsi isn't thinking of a saint, she just thinks that it's fine to kill and eat meat, there's no need to torment these animals, right?People still have a bit of humanity, don't really be like ferocious birds and beasts, eating their prey alive.
Zi Ying shook her head at them, telling them to eat quickly and not to worry too much.
The two families stopped talking nonsense, and really buried their heads in eating and drinking.
Zi Ying and Cao Rui are considered the most reserved and refined, how else can they be a couple?
Gu Xiangsi also drank some soup, and had a few mouthfuls of two dishes before.In fact, she is not hungry, nor does she want to eat these big fish and meat. After all, she wants to control her diet to regain her figure.
Chu Qing was afraid that they would be overwhelmed by eating like this, so she reminded from the side: "There are desserts later!"
"Dessert? Is that shaved ice?" Hong Shixia accompanied her mother-in-law to visit Zi Ying, sister-in-law, and Zi Ying invited them to eat that shaved ice. It was delicious, and she still thinks about it now!
"That's too cold. Eating it now is not good for the stomach." Chu Qing was really kind, and said softly: "There are a lot of desserts after dinner, including strawberry milkshake and milk tea. There are also rock sugar bird's nest, crystal osmanthus Cake, horseshoe cake, pea yellow, etc., there are food and drink."
"Ah? There are still so many desserts after dinner?" Jiang's mother looked up at Chu Qing who spoke softly, and then turned to look at her daughter, thinking that this dead girl will not live forever in Baiweiju This is the life of a young lady, right?
Girls like Zi Ying and the others usually eat delicately, and the desserts after meals will be different, but they will not be as rich as today.But she couldn't say that, she could only lower her eyes and say, "Only the nobles eat like this, those of us who serve tea...it's impossible."
Mother Jiang has always been the same, as a part-time worker, if she can live like Miss Qianjin, wouldn't everyone come to Baiweiju to work?
Gu Xiangsi waited patiently for them to eat, and then asked someone to bring hot water for them to wash.
After the mess on the table was cleared away, Gu Xiangsi made people serve hawthorn tea for digestion, let them rest, they talked together, and then let people serve dessert after dinner.
"Princess, didn't you say there are still desserts? Why did you serve this cup of hawthorn tea?" Mother Cao heard from the townspeople that bird's nest can beautify the skin, but she can eat it this time, so she wants to see it as soon as possible.
Gu Xiangsi took a sip of tea, and when she heard Mother Cao's question, she put down the teacup, smiled and said softly: "I am a medical student, you all ate too much before, you must drink tea and rest, let's talk later In other words, it won't be too late to serve dessert after you digest your food."
Ziying was afraid that they would talk nonsense to the princess one by one, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Aunt Cao, the princess has something to talk to you about today, so... let's take a break first."
After eating, Mrs. Hong didn't think of her two children, so she looked at Gu Xiangsi and asked timidly, "Princess, where are our... children? They...they..."
"You can rest assured that Feishu will take care of the children and won't let them go hungry. Moreover, Baiweiju has specially prepared recipes for children, and they will only eat healthier and more palatable meals." Chu Qing also didn't want the princess to spend more This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, so I explained to them a lot, hoping they don't ask questions, the concubine invited them here today, but there is something serious to talk about.
Zi Ying tugged at her sister-in-law's sleeve, what was she worrying about?Fei Shu took the child to play in the Rainbow Room on the second floor, the child was hungry, could she ask someone to get him something to eat?
The Hong family was a little dissatisfied with her sister-in-law. She hadn't bothered her yet, but her sister-in-law felt that she was embarrassing her.

next day
Gu Xiangsi got up early in the morning, had dinner with Xiling Yan, went to see her two sons, then cleaned up, took Chu Qing and Fei Shu out to the appointment.

Mr. Gu has a very strange temper. He is not afraid that his own people will eat and take advantage of him, but he is the most annoying to his own people and his politeness.

On the third floor, private room.
Gu Xiangsi invites Zi Ying and his family to come today, so naturally they cannot be disturbed.
Simply, the banquet was arranged in the private room on the third floor, not too noble to scare Zi Ying, and not too low to make people feel that she was neglecting the guests.

"Xiaomin has seen the concubine." Cao Rui has seen the world, and he is very considerate to Gu Xiangsi, but he is neither humble nor overbearing, and is generous.
"Xiao Cao, right? No courtesy! Go back and sit down." Gu Xiangsi smiled warmly, looked at Cao Rui, and felt that this person was not bad, worthy of Zi Ying.
Zi Ying and Cao Rui followed Gu Xiangsi back to the table and sat down, and introduced everyone to Gu Xiangsi.
Gu Xiangsi saw that there are quite a few people here today?Presumably, both families are here, right?She raised her hand, indicating that they don't need to be too polite, and they should all sit down first.
Zi Ying and Cao Rui sat separately. After all, according to the rules, she had to sit next to her brother and sister-in-law, while Cao Rui had to sit next to her parents.
Gu Xiangsi was sitting in the main seat on the north side, and seeing that there were two other children, she looked at Fei Shu and said, "Take them to the Rainbow Room on the second floor, where there are many children and many toys, let them play for a while, and it will be fine."

Cao's mother heard Zi Ying's words, and saw Zi Ying helping her daughter to go to Gu Xiangsi, her old face couldn't help turning red, so it was her fault that Zi Ying missed Zi Ying?
well!These noble people have a lot of rules, they have to be particular about how to receive something when they give something, they have to go forward to thank them, and thanking across the table is not acceptable.
Cao Xiaomei walked up to Gu Xiangsi, lowered her head and bowed stiffly: "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."
"Well, as long as you like it." Gu Xiangsi smiled gently, and was very tolerant towards these little girls.But when she saw Cao Xiaomei staring at the bracelet and ring on her hand with bright eyes, a look of displeasure appeared in her eyes, and the smile on her lips faded a lot: "This is the relic of my mother-in-law Concubine Lian, but You can't give it to others at will. Zi Ying, you all go back and sit down."
"Yes, Concubine." Zi Ying's face turned pale all of a sudden, she hurriedly pulled Cao Xiaomei away, and sent her back to her seat, she walked over and sat down nervously.
When Cao Rui saw Zi Ying's nervous and frightened eyes, he wanted to get up and apologize to Gu Xiangsi, but Zi Ying winked at him again, and he didn't move anymore.
After all, Cao's father was also a person who traveled all over the world to help others beat furniture. When he saw Ziying and his son playing flirtatiously, and seeing the town princess drinking tea with a smile and not talking, what else did he not understand?
well!If I had known earlier, I would not have brought this girl here. For something that is not greedy, the concubine's easy-going reward with a golden hairpin is a great gift from heaven.
But this ignorant girl is actually greedy for the relics of other people's mother-in-law. Anyone who puts it on her will feel unhappy!
Mother Cao didn't think too much about it, she also thought that the bracelet on Gu Xiangsi's wrist was beautiful, and the gems on that ring were really red and bright, what a pity!This is a relic of the mother-in-law, so it is impossible to give it to country people like them at will.
However, there are still many good things about this princess!Look at the gold inlaid jade ring hanging on the waist, and the hairpins and hairpins on the head, the most beautiful one must be the big golden flower jingling... I don't know what it is, look It looks very expensive and beautiful.
Zi Ying's mother naturally wanted to get some reward from Gu Xiangsi, but she was more contemptuous of Cao's mother's greedy eyes.Such a family still wants to marry her daughter?Pooh!
Jiang's father is steady enough, but in fact he is an honest person, not too fancy.
"Princess, what is that jingle on your head? It looks really good. When I go back to our house, I want to give Ziying one too." Mother Cao said this time, she thought it was euphemistic enough. , but in fact it is no different from directly opening your mouth to ask someone for something.
The cost of a golden step inlaid with east pearls may not be affordable for their family to save for 20 years.
Ziying's complexion became paler and uglier now, but she could not lose her temper with Cao's mother, but lowered her eyes and whispered softly: "Aunt Cao, Jin Buyao can only be worn by concubines in the palace and some nobles of the royal family. Let alone us ordinary people, even the wives and daughters of ordinary officials cannot wear it. If you wear it without authorization, it is... a crime."
"What? This...is it a sin to wear this thing?" Cao's mother was terrified this time, old lady!The things on these noble people are really not something they can covet casually.
"Well, some things... need to be worn by people. The golden hairpin given by the princess to the younger sister is fine. It's just something from Zhenbaoxuan, not a gift from the palace." Ziying explained clearly to them this time, hoping they But don't think about it anymore, the things on the princess, are they what people like them can covet at will?
Chu Qing has already returned, opened the door and walked in, walked back behind Gu Xiangsi, bowed and bowed her head and replied: "Go back to Wangfei, the dishes are ready."
"Then let's serve the food." Even if Gu Xiangsi was looking at Zi Ying's face, she would not give the two of them face.
What's more, she agreed to make an apology to them. After dinner, she still has something to do, and she wants to apologize to the two of them.
Chuqing went out, and the person who was leading the food came in wave after wave.
In fact, Baiweiju has a lot of manpower, and it is generally not allowed for girls to serve male guests.
Because these girls are serving some female customers, and some of them are all wives and ladies of high family background. It's not good to let a mistress serve them.
Today, there are [-] hot and cold dishes at this table, and cold dishes and drinks are served first.
There are two types of wine, one is blueberry fruit wine and the other is bamboo leaf green wine.
In short, it is not a spirit, but a wine that goes with the dishes.
Gu Xiangsi saw that Ziying stared at the serving chopsticks with an ugly face, so she smiled and gently ordered: "Chuqing, remove the serving chopsticks."
"Yes." Chu Qing replied, and walked over, putting away the serving chopsticks one by one, and then walked to the tall table beside her, and temporarily put the serving chopsticks on it.
Hong pressed and twisted Jiang Qiu's waist. A shameless man can straighten his eyes when he sees a servant, bah!
Jiang Qiu felt that he couldn't be blamed for being lecherous, but that the servant girl next to the concubine of Zhen was too juicy. Her small hands were as tender as boiled eggs with their shells peeled off, her fingers were slender, her figure was slender, her face was pretty, and she was more beautiful than his family. This yellow-faced woman is much stronger.
"Chuqing, cloth vegetables." Gu Xiangsi naturally saw Jiang Qiu staring at Chuqing, but she couldn't turn her face on the spot, so she could only call Chuqing to her side and ask her to help her prepare vegetables, so as to avoid Chuqing was harassed by some people.
Liu'er came up to serve Zi Ying in person, after all those girls and Zi Ying are good sisters, let them serve Zi Ying, Zi Ying and them will feel at ease when they turn around, won't they?
But it's not appropriate for the princess to be served by other mistresses, so he can only serve in person.
The Cao Jiang family had never been served like this before, and this feeling really made them a little bit flustered.
Liu'er has endured hardships with Li Haoyue, why didn't he suffer from anger, how could he be unhappy and angry because Jiang Qiu ordered him a few times?
He was not angry, for Zi Ying's sake, there was no need to be angry with Jiang Qiu.
Ziying looked at Liu'er apologetically, this time she really wronged Brother Liu'er.
Perhaps Gu Xiangsi was too kind, once she asked Chu Qing to move her chopsticks, the two families would be really rude.
She doesn't care about these, let alone rural people who can't eat a few good meals throughout the year, even in her big family in her previous life, the whole family gets together during the New Year and holidays, isn't it the same rustic look?
This is also true, it’s nothing, being able to eat and drink is a blessing, it’s better than ordering and not eating, turning back and throwing away wasted food, right?
Eat, let go and eat.If they feel that it is not enough, they can even eat and take like Ye Wuyue. The most important thing in Baiweiju is food, isn't it?
Zi Ying has been watching the princess carefully, but the princess is really not angry, she seems to understand the voracious eating behavior of the two families.
call!She had forgotten that the concubine also grew up in the countryside, so she should be familiar with such a banquet person, right?
But even so, the princess is good enough.
If it were someone else who flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix, they would definitely look disgusted when they saw their family devouring their food.
It didn't take long for the hot dishes to be served one by one.
Sichuan dishes include twice-cooked pork, Dongpo elbow, and mapo tofu.
Hunan cuisine includes Dong'an chicken, golden fish playing with lotus, and steamed cured meat.
Cantonese dishes include Braised Suckling Pigeon, Liao Ginseng with Abalone Sauce, and Roast Suckling Pig in Open Oven.
Shandong dishes include grilled abalone in the original shell, fairy duck, and jade belt shrimp.
Such four major cuisines make up twelve dishes.
But almost all meat dishes, plus the previous six cold dishes, must be enough to eat.
"Didn't it mean that rich people eat abalone's wing belly? Is there any abalone's wing belly on this table?" Cao's mother looked at the table of delicious dishes, why did she feel that they were all ordinary chicken, fish, meat and eggs, which she had never seen before? How many rare dishes are there?
"If you like abalone, sea cucumber, bird's nest, etc., I can get someone to serve it for you. But shark's fin is too cruel, and I have banned it from Baiweiju." Gu Xiangsi drank this black-bone chicken, red dates, wolfberry and longan soup, and they all didn't like it. Drinking, and only she drank it, so it can't be done in vain, right?
"How cruel is the shark's fin?" Jiang Qiu gnawed on a pigeon, and looked at the princess of the town in puzzlement. She was so beautiful. No wonder she became the princess of the town from a village girl.
"Shark fins are taken from shark fins. A shark only has a pair of fins. Is it crueler to cut off their fins alive and throw them into the sea to fend for themselves?" Gu Xiangsi put the soup bowl on Looking at Jiang Qiu on the table, he said with a faint smile, "So, I don't eat shark's fins, and Baiweiju doesn't buy shark's fins either. It's too cruel. If you eat something, you just kill them. Why bother to torture them like this? You don't want to let death be a pleasure." , isn't it cruel?"
They really didn't know how the shark's fins came from, and when they heard that the fins were taken so cruelly, they stopped clamoring to eat them.
Gu Xiangsi isn't thinking of a saint, she just thinks that it's fine to kill and eat meat, there's no need to torment these animals, right?People still have a bit of humanity, don't really be like ferocious birds and beasts, eating their prey alive.
Zi Ying shook her head at them, telling them to eat quickly and not to worry too much.
The two families stopped talking nonsense, and really buried their heads in eating and drinking.
Zi Ying and Cao Rui are considered the most reserved and refined, how else can they be a couple?
Gu Xiangsi also drank some soup, and had a few mouthfuls of two dishes before.In fact, she is not hungry, nor does she want to eat these big fish and meat. After all, she wants to control her diet to regain her figure.
Chu Qing was afraid that they would be overwhelmed by eating like this, so she reminded from the side: "There are desserts later!"
"Dessert? Is that shaved ice?" Hong Shixia accompanied her mother-in-law to visit Zi Ying, sister-in-law, and Zi Ying invited them to eat that shaved ice. It was delicious, and she still thinks about it now!
"That's too cold. Eating it now is not good for the stomach." Chu Qing was really kind, and said softly: "There are a lot of desserts after dinner, including strawberry milkshake and milk tea. There are also rock sugar bird's nest, crystal osmanthus Cake, horseshoe cake, pea yellow, etc., there are food and drink."
"Ah? There are still so many desserts after dinner?" Jiang's mother looked up at Chu Qing who spoke softly, and then turned to look at her daughter, thinking that this dead girl will not live forever in Baiweiju This is the life of a young lady, right?
Girls like Zi Ying and the others usually eat delicately, and the desserts after meals will be different, but they will not be as rich as today.But she couldn't say that, she could only lower her eyes and say, "Only the nobles eat like this, those of us who serve tea...it's impossible."
Mother Jiang has always been the same, as a part-time worker, if she can live like Miss Qianjin, wouldn't everyone come to Baiweiju to work?
Gu Xiangsi waited patiently for them to eat, and then asked someone to bring hot water for them to wash.
After the mess on the table was cleared away, Gu Xiangsi made people serve hawthorn tea for digestion, let them rest, they talked together, and then let people serve dessert after dinner.
"Princess, didn't you say there are still desserts? Why did you serve this cup of hawthorn tea?" Mother Cao heard from the townspeople that bird's nest can beautify the skin, but she can eat it this time, so she wants to see it as soon as possible.
Gu Xiangsi took a sip of tea, and when she heard Mother Cao's question, she put down the teacup, smiled and said softly: "I am a medical student, you all ate too much before, you must drink tea and rest, let's talk later In other words, it won't be too late to serve dessert after you digest your food."
Ziying was afraid that they would talk nonsense to the princess one by one, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Aunt Cao, the princess has something to talk to you about today, so... let's take a break first."
After eating, Mrs. Hong didn't think of her two children, so she looked at Gu Xiangsi and asked timidly, "Princess, where are our... children? They...they..."
"You can rest assured that Feishu will take care of the children and won't let them go hungry. Moreover, Baiweiju has specially prepared recipes for children, and they will only eat healthier and more palatable meals." Chu Qing also didn't want the princess to spend more This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, so I explained to them a lot, hoping they don't ask questions, the concubine invited them here today, but there is something serious to talk about.
Zi Ying tugged at her sister-in-law's sleeve, what was she worrying about?Fei Shu took the child to play in the Rainbow Room on the second floor, the child was hungry, could she ask someone to get him something to eat?
The Hong family was a little dissatisfied with her sister-in-law. She hadn't bothered her yet, but her sister-in-law felt that she was embarrassing her.
I recommend the humorous "Wolf Husband Pampers His Little Wife", authored by Yu Qie.This is a story about the descendants of the traversers.It is a descendant, this story is not a time travel.It tells about an extraordinary arena and unpopular love.
The wonderful story begins with the very reluctant elopement of the heroine...
This elopement accident stirred up chaos in the rivers and lakes and chaos in the court.
Heroine: Soft and cute, not a white lotus, not a little white, with an online IQ.
Male protagonist: strong strong strong
