Chapter 226: Fanwai 2 (2): Rich dishes are not rich at all
Pei Shuo felt as if he had dug a hole for himself and jumped down on his own initiative.
But after all the posts were posted, people agreed to come tomorrow. It would be difficult to regret at this time. Even if A Yao cheated him, it would not be too much...
In the evening, Qian Donglin took off his official uniform, carried two kilograms of wine and was about to go out again. Seeing that the dishes were about to be arranged, the wife who followed him to Wuling frowned and her eyes fell on the bottle he was carrying, and said unhappily: "Where are you going? Have you eaten immediately but you go out?"
"Oh, look at my memory. I forgot to tell you when I was busy with the government office. Yesterday, the envoy Pei Tuanlian invited me to his house for dinner and gave him some face. I'll go back." Qian Donglin quickly explained that except for the servants in the mansion, who would know that the magistrate who was looking back in glory and glorious about his ancestors was so humble to his wife at home.
But if you know, you will only say that you deserve it.
His new wife's family is a wealthy businessman in Fuhai. She goes to the capital every year. One is to do business and the other is to find suitable son-in-law candidates. They don't think about the top scorer, Tanhua and Jinshi who are ranked high. Every time the list is opened, catching son-in-law under the list has become a unique landscape. Some wealthy businessmen in Beijing focus on people tightly. They finally took a look at a person from Wuling. They have a pretty good appearance and poor family, so they poached him.
Before the new wife married, she knew through her father that he had a bad wife in Wuling. Although Qian Donglin repeatedly emphasized that she had sent her divorce letter back and had nothing to do with her and would obey her in the future, she still felt uncomfortable.
Now, just as I arrived, I was so anxious to find her. I thought she had just arrived and didn’t know what was going on in the county, right? Who are you lying to? That woman lives next to Pei!
The new lady raised her eyebrows and spoke with a thorn: "The tutor of the group training will invite you to his house for dinner? Not outside? I will visit the tutor of the group training with you."
As she said that, she also stood up and changed her clothes. Qian Donglin dared not let her move. Lin's family lives next to Pei Shuo's family. What if she saw it? I hurriedly said, "No, no, it's the first time I went to Pei's family and I don't know what happened. He was at the school all day long, so I won't be sure that the family is full of men, all of them. What if you go there and get hit by them? I'm not at ease."
"Maybe his family is full of beautiful maids."
Qian Donglin smiled, wrapped her waist around her and said in her ear: "They are not as good as their wife."
The voice was low and affectionate. The new lady coquettishly beat him with a pink fist and let him go. But she was disturbed and went out two quarters of an hour later than before. There was still a lonely cloud in the west, which was the last stubbornness of the sun, and the east was already dark blue, and a white moon was crept up.
A Yao looked at the sky and endured it to the limit. She leaned against the kitchen door and hugged her hands, tapped her arms with her fingers, and raised her eyebrows frequently.
"The people you hired are not very good, and the neighbors are ready to go to bed, but he won't come."
Because of the Qian family's sister-in-law Lin, A Yao's impression of Qian Donglin fell to freezing point and despised him. In addition, he invited Qian Donglin to his house for dinner and asked A Yao to cook. Now that Qian Donglin has not yet arrived, it is probably a crime in A Yao's heart.
Faced with A Yao's anger, Pei Shuo chose to avoid the topic and said with a favor: "A Yao, are you hungry? I'll give you a bowl of noodles and eat first?"
"No need, whether he eats or not, whether he loves or not has nothing to do with me. If he doesn't come for another half an hour, I won't wait." She turned around and went back to the kitchen and whispered, saying that Qian Donglin knew the truth and did not come for hard work, so she asked Pei Xiaoshuo to wait for half an hour to make some delicious food for him.
I have bamboo fungus at home. I make a bamboo fungus stuffed with shrimp balls, fungus, chicken nuggets, ham, bean sprouts, ginger vegetables and quail eggs all ready-made. Then wrap it with meat filling and make egg dumplings. She seems to have shepherd's purse, and squeeze out the shepherd's purse meatballs with the remaining meat filling. Pour the soup into a casserole to make a mixed pot. The two dishes are enough to eat.
Just think she wants a good dish and prepare to show her skills-
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late. It's all because the county government is busy. Please don't blame me. I brought the best wine to apologize."
A strange voice outside the door rang out of time. A Yao put down her raised sleeves expressionlessly, withdrew her idea of making delicious food, and by the way, she observed a second silence for Pei Shuo.
"Madam, the customer is here, let's serve the food."
"Okay, I'll go and heat the dishes." A Yao replied.
Qian Donglin came in and saw only one back. He quickly withdrew his gaze and bowed to each other to say hello to Pei Shuo.
When Qian Donglin came, he imagined Pei Shuo many times, thinking that either he was a man with a big bull and a big bear, and he spoke rudely and without thinking, otherwise he would not have offended the emperor and was demoted to Wuling. Or maybe he was a black and thin man. He looked thin, but actually took off his clothes and was as strong as a farmer in the field.
But when he really saw Pei Shuo, the sour taste surged in his heart.
He was admitted to the Jinshi exam at the age of thirty and returned to his hometown to become a magistrate. He thought that many people would not be able to work hard for the rest of their lives, but Pei Shuo was young than him and was already a team trainer. He also had a good appearance and was so white that he was not a serious team trainer!
Qian Donglin was despised in his heart, and then he heard a crisp voice shouting: "It's time to eat."
The Pei Tuan Zhengshi, who was holding a stance in front of him, suddenly changed his appearance, as if he was talking to him with an stance, and was lazy and unable to lift his energy. When he heard that the meal was full, his eyes were glowing and he was energetic. Qian Donglin couldn't help but look forward to dinner. He heard that Pei Shuo's wife cooked more delicious than the dishes in the best restaurant in the county. Judging from Pei Shuo's appearance, maybe it was true?
I saw someone before I saw the vegetable, and I couldn't help but compare A Yao with the one in my family. They each have their own advantages in their appearance, but they are still slightly inferior to anyone in the family. After all, the one in the family is a daughter who is holding it in her hands and carved it with a rich atmosphere of jewelry and garlands. The one in the family is a peony, and Pei Shuo's wife is a daisy, with her eyebrows and eyes down, and her person is as light as a chrysanthemum, but this one looks more tender than the one in the family.
The sour taste surged in my heart again. Why was Pei Shuo so lucky? - Oh no, he was demoted to Wuling and was not lucky at all. Oh, he was still the winner in life.
A Yao didn't know that Qian Donglin's inner drama was so rich. He smiled and wrote the name of the dish: "Gold brick white jade board, red-mouthed green parrot, pearl jade white jade soup, rich chicken, poetry and ginkgo, please use it slowly."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Mrs. Pei." Qian Donglin was happy when he heard Cai Ming. He looked down and his smile froze on his face. "This... Brother Pei, this?"
At first glance, I thought the name of the dish was very high-end. Ingredients such as abalone ginseng, winged belly, swallows, clams, deer and antlers, but I didn’t know that it was dried tofu, white tofu, spinach, cabbage, and ginkgo. The most expensive one was probably the beggar chicken named Fugui Chicken.
"Isn't this a shameful person?" he shouted by slapping his chopsticks.
Pei Shuo glanced at A Yao and finally understood the gloating "That's what you said".
But what else can you do? You should also swallow the words you say with a smile, "Madam, can you say these dishes?"
"White jade plate is called dried rotten, green parrot is this dish. There was once the emperor's folk culture, eating yellow-nooded dried tofu and balsamic dish. When asked the store, the store said, "Gold brick white jade plate, red-mouthed green parrot". This pearl jade white jade soup is also the folk side dish that the emperor had eaten when he was starting from the Wei. The jade is a cabbage gang. The red roots and green leaves were removed from the spinach, and it was cooked into a soup with white jade, that is, tofu. Plus the pearl rice selected from the abundant production in Shuofang area, each of which is full and crystal clear and round, and the taste is sweet. This soup is soaked in rice with delicious taste. As for the rich chicken, it was the emperor who had eaten the dish, and even the name was given by him."
A Yao had already prepared to speak, and was calm and unhurried: "The last thing is just a ginkgo vegetable, I don't follow this. This is because of the magistrate, you are a scholar. I thought you should understand, but I didn't think it through, haha." At the end, I felt disappointed and sad. "When Confucius taught his son Kong Li to learn poetry and rituals, he said: If you don't learn poetry, you can't speak; if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand it. It was later passed on to a beautiful story. His descendants called themselves the "family of poetry and rituals". Yansheng Gong Kong Zhi built a poetry auditorium and planted two ginkgo trees in front of the hall. The "poetry and rituals" at the Kong Mansion Banquet was the name of the fruit of this tree."
After explaining, A Yao's voice became completely cold: "I saw the writings written by the magistrate's home, quoted anecdotes and allusions, and thought that your preferences have always been like this. I quote dishes with anecdotes and allusions in the same way as you did. Not only did I not appreciate it, but I also said that I was disappointed. Lord Patriarch, I advise you to do to others what you do not want others to do to you."
Just leave with a look of disdain.
Qian Donglin's face turned into a pig's liver. It turned out that it was for the Lin woman. He was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up, intending to leave with his sleeves.
However, Pei Shuo flashed and blocked his way. His voice was astonishing as the storm was coming.
"Mr. Qian, you have come here. You will leave after eating. It will be worth my wife's wish."
"Not to eat!"
"I'm not a chicken cage without cover, I come and go freely."
