After entering the wrong bridal chamber, I went to farm with the powerful minister

"As for the dog and the goose, they were pets kept by my grandfather and his friends."

"pet?"

Liu Song and He were even more puzzled.

Yan Funing tapped her forehead with the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Pet is a pet name for animals that you carefully raise by your side. Yes, a pet name."

"Come to her favor." Liu Song responded, "Is there anything my daughter can do for us?"

"Not at the moment, uncle and aunt, go and do your work."

"Okay, call us if you need anything."

Nearing noon, more than a dozen cold dishes were kept cool in ice basins and loaded onto the Yan family's carriage.

Then, they cooked a large bucket of meat and bones for the dogs, a basin of grain for the geese, and a large bucket of small fish and shrimp. These foods were loaded onto the cart of the restaurant.

There was a lot to eat, so we had to have someone accompany us to protect us all the way to the eastern suburbs.

Yan Funing called four waiters together and said to Liu Songhe: "Uncle and aunt, I'm taking Xiaowen and the others with me. If the restaurant is busy at noon, I'll have to trouble you all."

Liu Song said: "The restaurant is fine."

He waved her hand and said, "Be careful on the road, girl." She reminded her son who was driving, "Be smart, boy."

"Mom, I know."

Liu Chengwen waved the whip and the Yan family's car left first.

The restaurant carriage driven by Li Xinheng also drove away from behind.

The two carriages arrived at the eastern suburbs just in time for dinner, and the sun was getting hotter.

In the pavilion, the old king discussed with everyone: "Let's just have a simple meal at noon today, and then find a lake in the afternoon to let the geese flutter around."

Old Master Yuan narrowed his eyes and saw two carriages parked on the side of the road. A pretty girl got out of the front carriage. She looked quite familiar.

"Old Duke, that's your granddaughter, right?"

The old Duke turned around and laughed, "You have a very good eye, she is really my granddaughter."

Old Master Yu sighed: "The old Duke is so lucky. We old guys spend all day fighting geese and walking dogs. Whose grandchildren have ever come to visit? Only the old Duke's family."

The old Duke stroked his beard and said, "Don't say that. The main thing is my girl and me, her grandfather."

As he said this, he walked to the pavilion, put his hands on his hips and shouted to the roadside which was several dozen feet away: "Girl, it's so hot, what are you doing here?"

"Grandfather, I'm here to bring you food."

Yan Funing's soft voice rose.

Then he ordered the people following him to bring the dishes over.

"The old Duke is in for a treat." The old men said one after another.

The old Duke was quite pleased with himself: "Okay, I won't deal with it casually today, you guys go ahead."

The elders stood up and someone said, "Let's see what dishes the daughter of the Duke's Mansion has sent. It won't be too late for us to leave later."

"Yes, yes, yes, take a look."

"It's hot, so it might be a bit greasy. The old Duke probably doesn't like greasy food, so we can finish it for him."

As the group talked, no one showed any intention of leaving the pavilion to go to the farmer's house to eat something.

Four waiters, plus Li Xinheng, Liu Chengwen, Caiyu, and Yan Funing herself, a total of eight people served the dishes. Soon, all the cold dishes in the car were placed on the stone table in the pavilion.

Not only that, the dishes and chopsticks were also set.

As soon as the dishes came up, the ice basin in the car was also put out, and the pavilion immediately became much cooler.

The pavilion is quite large. Because the old men often played fighting games here, they funded its renovation a few years ago.

There are stone tables, stone benches and armchairs, which makes it suitable for dining here.

Seeing so many bowls and chopsticks, the old men couldn't believe it. Maybe they had some too?
As they looked at each other, Yan Funing called out in a crisp voice, "Grandfather, grandpas, these dishes were prepared by me and the chef of the restaurant. It's hot, I wonder if they suit your appetite?"

The elders smiled and spoke:

"Listen, listen, the old Duke's granddaughter is polite." "Sensible!"

"There are so few daughters of wealthy families who are so polite and can cook like this nowadays."

The old Duke began to act arrogantly: "Girl, I wonder if you didn't make this especially for your grandfather?"

“It’s made especially for my grandfather.”

Yan Funing personally put a pair of jade chopsticks into her grandfather's hands.

"I thought that all of you grandfathers were my grandfather's friends. If I didn't make enough, he would give it all to his friends and he wouldn't have any to eat. So I made more."

The old Duke then smiled and said, "That's pretty good."

Then he looked around and said, "My friends, please sit down and start eating."

In just a moment, all the old men were seated.

Yan Funing raised her hand and introduced: "The claws of this prawn have been cut off. After the prawn meat is cooked, it is iced and will probably be a little chewy. Grandfather, all the grandfathers, you can try it. If you find the prawn meat hard to swallow, try this shrimp paste, which is made with the prawn meat."

The old man ate the shrimp paste and praised it highly: "It is tender and delicious. You can swallow it with just a little chewing. These dishes are good."

Then he picked up a prawn and peeled it.

Yan Funing quickly ordered the waiter to bring the dipping sauce.

The old man dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, his eyes shining: "Well, although it is chewy, the shrimp meat is very tender."

As soon as the words were spoken, the old men quickly reached out their chopsticks to the prawns.

Yan Funing then introduced: "This is beef tenderloin in soy sauce. It is cut horizontally along the grain and is soft and tender. Grandfather, you grandpas can also try it."

The old Duke took the lead in eating and nodded repeatedly.

The prawns and shrimp paste were taken away by the old man just now, and he couldn't give in now.

He simply ate all the remaining dishes, and he had to eat the dishes made by his own granddaughter first.

Seeing that they were eating happily, Yan Funing raised her hand and ordered someone to carry food for the geese and the dog to the cart.

If a table full of food already made the old men happy and surprised——

The dogs were now lined up in a row, gnawing at the bones in unison, and even the geese were in an orderly manner, gathering around the basin to eat grains and around the bucket to eat small fish and shrimps.

This kind of scene is even more pleasant.

After more than half an hour, they finished eating.

Yan Funing ordered the waiters to clean up and put all the bowls, chopsticks, plates, empty buckets and basins in the car.

The stone table was cleaned and the floor was swept.

The pavilion is the same one where I just watched the geese fighting and the dog walking.

Yan Funing didn't say anything else, just said: "Grandfather, all the grandfathers, I'm back."

"Okay, okay, be careful on your way back." Old Master Yuan said with a smile, "Girl Yan, come to my Yuan family when you have time. My granddaughter-in-law is your real sister."

Hearing this, Yan Funing understood and nodded, "Grandfather Yuan, I'm leaving now."

Seeing his granddaughter leaving, the old duke frowned and wondered if something had happened to this girl.
At this time, an old man sneered: "Old Yuan, you really know how to get close to others."

"Mrs. Bo is the biological sister of girl Yan. Then, as her grandfather, am I considered half-grandfather of girl Yan?" Old Master Yuan was quite pleased with himself.

Old Master Yu said, "They are indeed relatives."

As a result, the elders all envied the old Duke for having such a sensible granddaughter, and they kept praising him.

Only the old duke stroked his beard again and again.

In the evening, the old Duke returned to the Duke's Mansion.

With a goose and a dog following him, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards Nanyuan, but he did not see Yan Funing.

He simply returned to Dongyuan. (End of this chapter)
