Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 404 Good man!
Zuo Fu was puzzled for a while.

Shouldn't this guy celebrate the New Year with Xue Yaoming and others?

I have been here for a few years, and these colleagues all know that they like to be locked in the house alone during the Chinese New Year.And since I am a woman, it would be inappropriate to eat with men at the same table, so this time I also arranged for the British man to eat with them, and I ate alone.

Just before the meal, I had already said the opening speech and drank a glass of wine, so what is this guy doing here at this hour?
"Let him in."

"Yes."

Zhang Jingxuan walked in, his face was a little red, presumably because of drinking.

"Brother Mu Nian, did you have something to do with me?"

"Ugh!"

Zhang Jingxuan sighed, and said, "Sister Yun Shu, can I sit down and have this reunion dinner with you?"

"Ok?"

Zuo Fu was confused, "What's the matter?"

"It's uncomfortable eating with them."

Zhang Jingxuan shook his head again and again, "They only see the British Duke but not me, Zhang Jingxuan. It's too respectful, and it's boring to eat."

The corner of Zuo Fu's mouth twitched, and he said: "You are the Duke of the state, they are only sesame officials of the sixth or seventh rank, so they must respect you."

"So it's meaningless!"

Zhang Jingxuan saw that Zuo Fu didn't intend to stop him, so he pulled the stool and sat down, "The status is very different, so we can't talk together."

"Brother Mu Nian doesn't seem like he came from a heavy family."

Zuo Fu waved his hand and said, "Go and get my Gorgon wine, and add some tableware for the Englishman."

"Gorgon wine?"

Zhang Jingxuan shook his head again and again, "The wine has no taste, so it's better not to drink it."

Zuo Fu spread his hands, and said: "Although I like to have a drink or two when I have nothing to do, I have a principle that I don't drink strong alcohol. I only have this kind of alcohol here. Do you like it or not."

"what!"

Zhang Jingxuan laughed, "I'll drink that for you!"

After a pause, he said again: "That's true! How can there be so much restraint between people?"

"If I were the daughter of Qianhu's family today, I wouldn't dare to talk to you like this."

Seeing the bowls and chopsticks coming, Zuo Fu gave some seasonings from the seasoning box to Zhang Jingxuan, and said, "Can you eat spicy food?"

"can."

Zhang Jingxuan said with a smile: "I bought many bottles of hot sauce in Huimin Supermarket in Wujin, Changzhou. I felt uncomfortable at first, but after eating too much, I felt that the taste was very good."

He swept his eyes over the table and couldn't help applauding, "Okay! You should eat hot pot during the Chinese New Year! Where did you make this pot? The craftsmanship is really good!"

"I brought it from Wujin."

Zuo Fu poured Zhang Jingxuan a glass of wine and said, "I don't know who spread the word that I like to eat hot pot, and a worker made a hot pot for me."

"It's really enviable to be so loved by the people."

Zhang Jingxuan drank the wine and said: "I also want to go to the battlefield to serve the country, but such things are never my turn."

Zuo Fu picked up the common chopsticks, put a piece of sheep tail oil roll into the pot, rinsed it, put it in Zhang Jingxuan's bowl, and said: "Brother Mu Nian, I was also born in a martial family. It is not the blessing of the country that we wait for warriors to be useless. Is it? If it’s possible, I really want to read books at home, learn embroidery from my mother, and grow flowers, so I don’t want to go to the battlefield to fight with people.”

"Uh... what you said seems to make sense."

Zhang Jingxuan picked up the mutton tail oil roll and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up!

"What is this?! Mutton? Why is it so delicious?"

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "You used to live in the north, don't you know this is a sheep's tail?"

"Sheep tail?"

Zhang Jingxuan had an expression of "I'm not a fool, don't lie to me", "How could this be a sheep's tail?"

"This is the oil from the boiled sheep's tail."

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "As for what else is added in it, don't ask, this is my unique skill."

Chun Yu's eyelids twitched.

Just want to say "bullshit"!
You obviously bought this from a god!
"I didn't expect my sister to cook so well!"

"Isn't that right?"

Chun Yu then said: "Master, my eldest girl is a good cook! She cuts all these dishes, the egg rolls, fish balls, meatballs, and shrimp cakes are all made by herself! The girl's workmanship is amazing!"

"Then I'm going to have a good taste."

Zhang Jingxuan was not polite, he put a little of everything on the table in, after a while, he picked it up by himself, dipped it in the sauce, and started to eat.

then……

Zuo Fu only felt that the dishes he prepared were quickly decreasing. This guy kept shaking his chopsticks, and he had a special liking for meat. He seldom touched seafood. He prepared mutton tail oil rolls and fat beef rolls by himself. , Fat lamb rolls, and egg rolls are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The guy exclaimed that he was enjoying himself while eating, saying that he hadn't eaten such a delicious hot pot for several years.

Really good food, well said!
Zoff sighed.

Looking at the big guy, I feel like I have to go to the kitchen to play tricks again.

Otherwise, it is not enough to eat.

Got up and went to the kitchen, and sent people away, went to Taobao to buy a bunch of fat beef, sheep tail oil rolls, etc., unpacked, put the things on the plate one by one, then called people over, and set up a hot pot Stove, said: "Send this heating stove and these ingredients to Tongzhi, just say it's my heart. Then send these to my house. British public tastes big, and you can give me a stick next to it." Put these dishes on the table."

Ms. Liu smiled and said, "Miss, is she scared? The British Duke is tall, strong, and has a big appetite. He eats three meals a day, with snacks in between. He eats half a bucket of rice for each meal!" As for your favorite braised pork ribs, he can eat ten yuan in one meal!"

"What?!"

Zuo Fu stared wide-eyed, "Eat so much?!"

Ms. Liu covered her mouth and laughed, "Where is the size, why don't you eat so much? The old lady can eat a bowl of rice in one meal! It's not the big bucket in the cafeteria, but the small bucket for eating in our courtyard."

"That's a lot!"

The corner of Zuo Fu's mouth twitched, "Has he paid for the food?"

"Yes, yes! It is said that there is a fixed amount for the government's food expenses, and he eats a lot, so he has to give some extra."

"And offered to pay for the food?"

Zuofu nodded, "It's quite interesting."

"The Duke of England is such a good man."

Mother Liu couldn't help boasting, "She is kind to us servants, and never puts on airs. And she always says things clearly, just like you girl, don't let people guess."

As he spoke, he sighed, "What we are most afraid of today is that our master will let us think about it. What should we do if we think about it wrong? Although this British Duke is a noble son, he doesn't have any airs about a noble son. He is really a good person. "

Zuo Fu nodded, "I think my character is good, but I am always stupid. You said that although I was a colleague with him, I was still a girl after all. I lost a lot of men and came to my room by myself to ask if I could follow him. I will have a reunion dinner together... This is really a brainless thing to do."

"Miss, the old man thinks that the British Duke thinks of you as a man in his heart."

"Mother Liu!"

Zuo Fu was surprised, "You also think I'm a man?!"

Mother Liu laughed, "How can that be? The old man means that he respects you and doesn't look down on you just because you are a woman. Big girl, isn't this what you often say about equality? He treats you equally, so I didn't think of this , you said, didn’t you?”
