I heard my whole family are villains

Chapter 140

"Pepper, you need to use it when frying lamb."

"I know it," Madam Lu swallowed, "I just can't believe my eyes."

"Ok?"

"Pepper is now priced at 300 taels per catty, and you actually use it for cooking," she said, realizing something was wrong, "Hey, isn't this a spice? Can it be used for cooking?"

"It's spices, as well as medicinal materials and seasonings. In the previous dynasty, it was used to make tea to entertain guests."

"That's it." Mrs. Lu looked at Su Dai adoringly, "Sister-in-law really knows a lot, even better than my father."

Is this the point?
Mrs. Liu watched this scene speechlessly.

Who can eat with such an expensive pepper?
"Siblings," she persuaded tactfully, "It's also good to add some chili to mutton, would you like to try it?"

"Does sister-in-law like spicy food? Then I'll add some later."

"That was not what I meant.

However, before she could finish her sentence, Madam Lu asked quickly, "The one next to me looks familiar too, but I can't remember it, brother and sister, what is it?"

"That's Angelica dahurica, next to cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon..."

Following Qi's line of sight, Su Dai introduced things one by one.

Most of them were attached to the house sent by the system, and a few were sent by the Liu family.

Hearing the long list of names, both Qi and Yuan went numb.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, neither of them would have believed that someone was so extravagant.

Mrs. Liu had a complicated expression, "What we brought today is not enough for food."

I'm sorry to be a guest again next time!
"No, the gift you brought is already very heavy," while speaking, Su Dai quickly handled the fish maw, "The two sisters-in-law are not looking very well, it may be because they are too tired from work, and they will make fish maw chicken for you to nourish your body. You must drink a few more bowls later."

She has quite good feelings for Yuan and Qi.

Different from Liu Hui's overzealousness, these two people are very measured, no matter what they say or do, they will not make people embarrassed, and they can also tell that they have good conduct.

So I am willing to spend a little more time.

These things are very precious in the eyes of others, but she has been used to living in wealth since she was a child, so as long as she has the conditions, it is impossible for her to wrong herself.

Even if no one from the Liu and Lu families came to visit, the things should be used as they should be used, but not as many as today.

In fact, there is no difference.

Hearing this, Yuan Shi and Qi Shi looked at each other and hurried over to fight.

On the surface, the topic was over, and the three worked together to cook.

However, careful observation revealed that both Qi and Yuan's hands were shaking.

Time passed inadvertently in the busy.

At noon, the meals had already been set. There were twelve dishes in total. Because of the large number of people, the two tables were pushed together without deliberately separating people.

Four cold dishes, white boiled meat, haggis in red oil, cold fungus, garlic and seasonal vegetables.

Two soups, flower maw chicken and old duck soup.

The remaining eight are: Dongpo Pork, Sixi Meatballs, Braised Shrimp in Oil, Pan-fried Crucian Carp, Braised Pork Ribs, Braised Lamb, Pan-fried Tofu, and Bean Sprouts in Soup.

There are two servings per course, one at the head and one at the end.

The color and fragrance are complete, and they are placed on the table full, which is particularly impactful.

"These are all made by younger siblings?" Lu Boya exclaimed, "It seems that yesterday's grilled fish did not show her skills!"

"The two sisters-in-law are also helping," Su Dai said truthfully, "it's not my fault alone."

People can't judge by appearance, I thought the two were pampered and hadn't been in the kitchen very much, but they worked unexpectedly fast and well.

Whether it is cutting vegetables or chopping meat, they are very quick, which is incompatible with the exquisite skirts on them.

"We're just helping each other," Liu explained with a smile, "I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time, and I'm unfamiliar with it."

The Liu family used to be in Luo'an Town, and there were only two servants in the family. The young man took care of Liu Zhiyuan's daily life, and the mother-in-law took care of the sundries in the house. If she couldn't spare her hands to cook, Yuan was always in charge.

After moving to the county seat and buying someone, she was able to get out of the kitchen.

However, even so, he still cooks from time to time in order to do his best for his father-in-law and his children.

"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are also good," Lu Boya denied, "only a little worse than younger siblings."

Only this one of my own, who was spoiled by the family when she was young, would not even make pea cakes if it wasn't for the sake of getting a good name for her relatives.

That's fine, after all, there are servants in the family who work hard, and it doesn't matter if the wife is pampered.

"Stop talking," Qi reminded, "Don't waste such a good meal."

She roughly estimated that it would cost at least 30 taels of silver to clean up the table.

It only costs two dollars for pepper, and it hurts to look at it.

Hearing this, Lu Boya looked at his wife in surprise.

My wife has been pampered since she was a child, and her mouth is even more picky. Every time she eats, she has to dawdle for a long time. Why is she so active today?

Not normal!

I was going to ask, but the next second I heard the word "serve dinner", subconsciously raised the chopsticks and put one into my mouth, suddenly, I lost all thoughts.

Just keep your head down and eat.

A quarter of an hour later, the wind swept away, and there were only bare dishes on the table.

"Delicious," Lu Boya patted his stomach regardless of his image, "Three years ago, brother Zhiyuan and I ordered a table of noodles at the most famous Jude Building in Fucheng. It was 25 taels, but it was not as delicious as today .”

"As long as you like it," Mu Yao said, and greeted Nan Zai, "Come and clean up the table together."

"Okay," Nan Zai took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth and hands clean before responding, "Daddy cleans up the dishes, and I'll clean up the dishes."

"Master, you go too," Qi Shi poked at Lu Boya, "I've been busy with my two sisters-in-law for so long, you should move your bones."

"Not so good," Lu Boya was a little embarrassed, "I've never been good at chores, Qi Guang's dishes and bowls are all complete sets of high-quality goods, what if they break?"

It's okay to be able to pay.

But what he is worried about is that it may not be possible to buy it in Fucheng.

"It's okay, no need to help," Su Dai explained, "The two of them are used to doing this, and they will be fine soon. Wait a minute, I'll make some tea for digestion."

This statement surprised Qi and Yuan, but Lu Boya did not doubt it.

It was by the lake yesterday, and after dinner, Mu Yao was the only one busy.

"Forget it, I'll go and help," he touched his nose unnaturally, "you have worked hard enough cooking, there is no reason to bother with these trivial matters."

I am also big enough.

The brothers and sisters' hands, like Ma Liang's, are obviously used to hold a brush and draw, but it is an insult to cook for them laymen.

When you look back, you must persuade Qi Guang.

As a man, you must take care of the things you should do, such as cooking.

It's not that I don't have hands, nor can I buy people, so why should I trap a stunning person in and out of the stove?
Simply inhumane!
Seeing this, Liu Zhiyuan had no choice but to say, "Wait, I'll help too."
