Chapter 55 Dinner

At dusk, the county magistrate's mansion turned on the lights early, and red lanterns were hung in front of the doors of all the houses, even under the eaves of the verandah in the mansion, big red lanterns were hung.

A piece of bright red light hardened the white snow on the ground, making the whole courtyard brightly lit and extremely joyous.

The strong smell of rice from the kitchen in the backyard has long been wafting in the air.

Mrs. Lu was sitting on the kang under the window in the east room, with the food list handed over by the maid in her hand. She looked at the names of the dishes on the food list and was very surprised.

"She actually knows how to cook the dishes in the Burning Tail Banquet?"

The maid came from the kitchen and nodded quickly: "However, the little lady of the Qiao family said that she wanted to use her own method to change the recipes of these dishes, but from the eyes of the servants, she is indeed very experienced in cooking. Even Mother Chen can't match that knife skill."

Mother Chen is the cook who is in charge of the red case.

Lu Shi was even more surprised.

"Shaowei banquet... Although I didn't have the chance to eat it when I was in Chang'an, I also knew that it was an extremely luxurious banquet. It must be delicacies from mountains and seas, delicacies and delicacies. She still despises the original method?"

But it makes sense to think about it.

The biscuits and candies she makes are indeed better than the snacks sold in the market.

Take the toffee she made as an example. There are also milk candies on the market, but they are not as rich and sweet as hers.With such skills, it is normal to be a little arrogant.

She wanted to see what surprises Qiao Yun could bring.

At that time, another servant girl came in through the curtain, blessed her body, and said: "Madam, the meal is about to be set, where do you think it will be set?"

"Let's be in the main room, it's big over there. Let Meng Shaoheng and his classmates come over and eat together, otherwise the whole family will have to divide the New Year's Eve dinner into two courtyards, which is so boring." Lu Shi put down the food list in his hand and sorted it out The folds of the dress on the knees, as if to get off the kang.

The maid who was close to her quickly supported her and followed her all the way to the main room.

Looking at the empty room, Lu frowned.He quickly directed the little maids to move things.

"I remember that there is a four-screen screen with white feathers in the storeroom. Move over to block the door, and leave a seat for one person to pass by. Then the New Year's Eve dinner will be placed here in Xici Room. We will sit here and take Cover the screen to prevent the wind from blowing."

"This carpet has also been changed... No, don't change it. Take the camel wool embroidered blanket produced in Juanyunzhou and lay another layer directly. It will be warm when you sit on it."

All of a sudden, the maids were busy, those who moved the tables moved the tables, those who laid the stalls laid the stalls, and soon arranged the venue for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Lu Shi almost ordered the maids to replace the precious ornaments and hanging curtains that were pressed in the warehouse, and the room was brightly lit and dazzling.

After everything was ready, Lu Shi went to ask the servant girl to invite those people over.

To Mrs. Lu and Yun Xuemei, these young people are all juniors.Therefore, Lu Shi took Yun Xuemei and sat on the first seat in Mingjian to welcome guests.

"Sister of the Yun family, you don't have to be cautious, just accompany me to accept their gifts at ease, and I'm here!"

Yun Xuemei smiled.

This is the generation that Qiao Yun forcibly elevated her.

But it's okay, it saves a lot of trouble.

When several young gentlemen came in, they raised their eyes and saw Yun Xuemei sitting cross-legged on the barrier.

The beauty was wrapped in several layers of clothes, but her slender figure could not be concealed.With a crescent head and eyebrows, as bright as a red plum blossoming in snow, with a slender waist, as quiet as a pine growing in an empty valley, the splendor of a room loses its color in front of her.

Chi Qing, who had no other thoughts about the beauty, took the lead in bowing and bowing, "Add Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yun."

Lu Shi and Yun Xuemei looked at each other and smiled.Yun Xuemei is not an official's wife, so she cannot be called Mrs.Saying it rashly would offend a few children, so Lu Shi changed it.

"You are the eldest son of the Chi family, right? I heard that you take good care of the dog in the academy, thank you very much. Since you are Heng'er's friends, you don't have to be so unfamiliar. It's just good to call you aunt, which is kind and warm." Faux pas."

"Yes. I have met Aunt Lu and Aunt Yun."

Meng Shaoheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

The aunt's voice seemed to be reminding him that there was an insurmountable gap in seniority between him and his sweetheart.

After saluting, several people came to Xici Room to take their seats.

The Tang Dynasty had an open atmosphere, and so did "Xuan Tang", whose world is very similar to the Tang Dynasty.Let alone the same table between men and women, it doesn't matter if a large group of young ladies chatter around the handsome man.

The snacks that Qiao Yun brought were still on the table.

With such two big boxes of snacks, Lu Shi eats very frugally. Whenever he eats, he only uses a small palm-sized plate to take a little of each, and the small biscuits are taken according to the number of people, one piece per person!Because biscuits take up a lot of space, although they occupy the same grid as other candies, Lu Shi knows that there is not much in this grid.

Eating toffee and biscuits, everyone knew that the dessert must be Qiao Yun's handiwork.

In order to ease his heartbeat at the table with the beauty, Meng Shaoheng had no choice but to find something to say.

"Why don't you see sister Yun?" He threw a piece of frankincense walnut into his mouth.This walnut is similar to honey walnut, but the syrup made of milk and puff pastry is rich in milk and not so sweet. With the fragrance of walnut, this is the only snack he can eat.

Lu Shi curled her lips, this kid really misses Qiao Yun.

Just about to answer, Qiao Yun shouted from outside.

"The meal is set!"

Everyone hurriedly looked back.

Seven or eight maidservants filed in with trays, and the strong fragrance shook people's spirits.

Qiao Yun came in after her. She had already changed her clothes and threw the oily smelling dress back into the game.Give it to Lu Zheqiu to wash.

Because there was a man this time, Lu Shi and Yun Xuemei sat together, Qiao Yun and Meng Shaoqing sat next to her mother, Yun Xuemei had already reserved a seat for Qiao Yun, and she would go straight to her when she came back. sat down.

The maids put the dishes on the table, and the dazzling array of delicacies immediately caught the attention of everyone present.

Qiao Yun looked at the people around her and said with a smile, "Why are you standing there? Are you eating?"

The servant girl added in a timely manner: "The New Year's Eve dinner this time was completed by Miss Qiao alone, without the help of others."

Liu Er came back to his senses, his face flushed red.He recalled that when he met Qiao Yun for the first time, he was shocked by her fierce attitude because the wontons she sold were too expensive.

Now it seems that her craftsmanship is far more than twenty words!

The maid poured wine for everyone.The wine on the table is sweet wine made from glutinous rice. It is sweet and clear, and you won’t be intoxicated no matter how much you eat, so that if you drink too much, someone will go crazy and lose face.

"Okay, let's start, don't hold yourself back! You can just have a private drink with Heng'er." Lu Shi and Yun Xuemei moved the first and second chopsticks successively, the elders started, and this group of young people Only then can you move your chopsticks.

"Then aunt is going to be an eye-opener. This group of boys are so angry when they grab the food. The two younger sisters will definitely not be able to grab it. They should be hungry." Chi Qing held the wine glass with a half-smile.

"Tsk." Qiao Yun smacked her lips, "Fortunately, I packed two hundred Yanyue wontons, enough for you to eat! Come here, bring Yanyue wontons to their mouths first!"

For a while, everyone laughed happily.

The heat in the room melted the ice on the window lattice, and the dinner table was full of joy...
