Guozijian little cook

Chapter 404

Meng Yu's words made Xiao Nianzhi quite surprised.

However, the other party expressed it in this way, and she didn't express anything, which didn't seem to be good.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't know much about Meng Yu, and it was hard to ask other people for confirmation at this time. What was this person's character like?
All I can say is that you can make a rough judgment based on your first impression.

Xiao Nianzhi thinks it should be okay, right?

Not sure. After all, some people are good at disguise, and she doesn't have clairvoyance or mind-reading ability.

However, in order not to be rude, no matter what, you have to deal with it bravely.

After reacting, Xiao Nianzhi quickly pursed his lips and smiled sheepishly: "It is an honor for me to be valued by Mrs. Guo."

Meng Yu also knew that the two of them were not familiar with each other. If she took Xiao Nianzhi's hand and said that she would become a confidant, make friends or something like that, it would be a bit of a pretext to force the other person to agree.

Therefore, after she made her meaning clear, she didn't force anything anymore. She just smiled and held Xiao Nianzhi's hand while talking.

Meng Yu originally just thought that Xiao Nianzhi had a good face and was a good match for her.

However, after some exchanges, she felt...

Xiao Nianzhi gave her a very familiar feeling, not in terms of feeling, but in appearance.

But, if you look closely, you feel that it is not similar to the people around you.

So, is it an illusion?
Meng Yu was not sure, but she did feel that Xiao Nianzhi suited her well and she really wanted to make this friend.

At the end, Meng Yu returned to the original question: "Yuan Niang, I wonder if it will be convenient for you tomorrow. I have prepared some small gifts here. I will come to express my gratitude first. For other things, I need to wait until my father or husband. When they come back from the battlefield, they come to thank you in person."

Life-saving grace cannot be measured in money.

But, most of the men in the Guo Mansion are not in the house, and now there is only a young master. He can only prepare small gifts first, and then come to the door in person when he comes back.

At that time, we still need to discuss in detail how to thank him, whether it is a recommendation, or something else.

Meng Yu naturally knew that it would be slightly rude to only give gifts, so he explained in detail for fear that Xiao Nianzhi would misunderstand.

Xiao Nianzhi actually didn't think there was anything wrong with helping a friend.

However, the person wanted to express her gratitude, and if she kept refusing, the other person might still be worried.

So, after thinking for a while, she nodded: "We still need to go on duty tomorrow, and Shen Shizheng will probably be able to get home."

Although the value is lowered at Shen Shi, it takes a while to return to the city from outside the city, so you have to take this into account.

After hearing this, Meng Yu felt much at ease and nodded hurriedly: "Then Yuan Niang has agreed that we will come to the mansion tomorrow to disturb you. Please don't think we are annoying."

After some exchanges, Xiao Nianzhi felt that Meng Yu was also quick-tongued and that there was actually little pressure in getting along with such a person.

After hearing such words, she quickly shook her head: "How could it be? It's my honor for my eldest sister-in-law to come."

After a while, Meng Yu became very familiar with calling Xiao Nianzhi Yuanniang, while she followed Guo Sixue and directly called her eldest sister-in-law.

When the banquet officially started, Meng Yu returned to his seat.

Zheng Qingran went to communicate with other people before, and now he returned to his seat.

She and Yan Changxia were the only ones left with Xiao Nianzhi.

The two little girls sat next to each other at the table, so close that they could say something from time to time.

Although Yu Shangshu is a frugal person, he naturally won't show it too obviously at a banquet where face needs to be taken into consideration.

Therefore, all the food, tea, and snacks are prepared carefully and delicately.

The plates of each dish are very beautiful. The dishes inside are of excellent quality, but the quantity is very small, just one or two bites.But this is understandable. After all, if they come up one after another, if they all need to be eaten, no one can finish them, and it will cause waste.

Entertaining with good wine and good food does not mean that it should lead to extravagance and waste.

Xiao Nianzhi felt that the quantity of the dishes today was very good. If she needs to hold a banquet later, she can follow this standard.

After the four cold dishes, a new dish was served.

Xiao Nianzhi took a closer look and found that this was still a cold dish. It should be ham. However, upon closer inspection, he felt that the meat had color, and even the subtlety and residual texture did not look like pork or pork. beef.

So, what is this?
Xiao Nianzhi put a big question mark on his head.

However, Yan Changxia was afraid that Xiao Nianzhi would not know, so he leaned towards her and explained in a low voice: "This is a civet. I heard that the workmanship is very complicated. It also needs to be brewed with honey wine. Before eating, it needs to be washed with rice." Soak it in water to remove the salt, then slice it and serve it. Uncle Wang and I had a very delicious meal before, but it was from a traveling doctor. He left the capital after that. After eating his cooking, he ate other dishes. When people do it, it feels like it’s almost felt.”

Civet?
After Xiao Nianzhi heard this, he took a deep breath!
In modern times, that's really a mouthful to eat, behind bars!

Of course, later there were also modern artificial cultivations.

However, Xiao Nianzhi has never eaten it. She remains in awe of this kind of food that tastes very painful.

Now looking at the small plate in front of him, with a total of six slices of civet ham, Xiao Nianzhi swallowed slightly.

To be honest, she was not greedy, but shocked.

Also, I don’t really want to eat it.

Although, it exudes a faint fragrance, and when you smell it carefully, it seems to be the aroma of wine.

However, Xiao Nianzhi didn't want to touch it.

Other tables also have this kind of food that doesn't taste very good, so they just don't touch it.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi's behavior is not unexpected.

Yan Changxia took a brief bite, then turned her head and commented in a low voice: "The taste is okay, better than many others, but it's the best I've ever had, and if I eat these again, I feel like something is missing."

After hearing her words, Xiao Nianzhi nodded and still didn't touch the plate of meat.

Yan Changxia just assumed that Xiao Nianzhi didn't like it and did not persuade him to give it a try.

Just imagine if you don't want to eat something, and someone else comes to persuade you to try it...

Yan Changxia said that just thinking about this possibility made her fist harden!
This dish was quickly removed along with the previous dishes.

The next dish served after that was cold shredded chicken.

After the chicken is cooked, tear it into thin shreds, add seasonings, mix it, and serve.

As for whether it tastes good or not, it depends on how the final ingredient is mixed.

Xiao Nianzhi took a bite and thought it tasted okay.

Because only a little bit of chopped dogwood is added to enhance the flavor, the taste is slightly spicy. If you don't like spicy food, you can take a bite to see how it tastes.

Compared with the tiny amount of dogwood, a lot of vinegar is used, and there is no sugar to neutralize the taste, so when you eat it, you will feel the texture...

Well, how should I say it?

That is, those who like it sour and those who don't like it will probably remain silent.
