Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 191 Milk
The servant woman who brought people to deliver the food did not dare to be rude when she saw a luxuriously dressed young woman questioning her, so she quickly stepped forward and bowed and replied, "It's steamed lamb with milk." Then she lifted the lid of the box for Ning Wan to see.

Ning Wan hurriedly called Miss Xi over, "Quickly ask them to remove the dishes. Mrs. Qian doesn't eat mutton, and Miss Qian's not only doesn't eat mutton, she can't even smell the smell of milk! Change another dish."

Sister Xi hesitated, "Today's banquet is all arranged by my sister-in-law. She is afraid of making mistakes, so I sent my mother-in-law to see the menu. Maybe it's not appropriate to change the dishes now?"

Mrs. Zhao shouldn't make such a mistake!Ning Wan followed Mrs. Zhao to learn how to be a housekeeper. When preparing dishes for guests, she must inquire about the taboos of the guests. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for the guests not to move their chopsticks after the banquet?Right now, it's not just the issue of Mrs. Qian and Miss Qian's refusal to eat this dish, I'm afraid they might spoil the banquet if it smells uncomfortable!
"It will be even more inappropriate to send it up!" Ning Wan said firmly: "Cousin, you are the second young lady of the Zhao family, you have to make up your mind!"

Fortunately, Sister Xi had obviously never been the master of the Zhao family, so she was reluctant to speak for a long time. At this time, the dozen or so girls who delivered the food stopped and looked at the servant woman, who was also somewhat dissatisfied with Sister Xi. Then he said embarrassingly: "Second Young Mistress, the food will be cold after a while."

The weather is cold at this time of year, and the boiling water will freeze if left outside for a while, not to mention that the taste of steamed lamb with milk will change when it gets cold.So Sister Xi took Ning Wan's hand and said, "Either let them send it up first. If Mrs. Qian and Miss don't eat it, then give them another."

That's not good, it's very impolite to send food that the guests don't eat, especially Mrs. Qian is the wife of the Zhao family's immediate boss. Although Ning Wan knows that she shouldn't do her own thing, she still can't watch the Zhao family's banquet go out like this. The mistake, and this is also related to Sister Xi, after all, Sister Xi has been pulled over by me now.

After thinking about it, she asked the maid, "Is this dish Mrs. Zhao has seen and nodded?"

The maid was in a hurry to serve the dishes, but now she felt guilty when she was asked this question, "This dish was changed later. My mother-in-law was originally in charge of the banquet, but she hurt her foot yesterday and couldn't come up, so I came up temporarily." I ordered pheasant soup earlier, but when the pheasant didn’t arrive, I asked my grandma to change it to steamed lamb with milk.”

I see!The servant who delivered the dishes was Mrs. Fei, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Fei in the kitchen. Ning Wan knew her well, and knew that her specialty dish was steamed lamb with milk. Eating it while it was hot had a rich aroma, which was just right for nourishing and nourishing in winter.

Now Ning Wan fully understands that Mrs. Fei took care of the kitchen for Mrs. Fei temporarily, and was eager to let Mrs. Zhao know her methods. Whenever she had a chance, she suggested steaming lamb with milk, and the young lady of the Zhao family was heartless. The land agreed.Although she made a lot of mistakes, she was finally stopped at the last moment, and Ning Wan said with certainty: "If your mother-in-law comes, she will definitely know. If you don't believe me, go home and ask."

Sister Xi and Aunt Fei had already believed it at this time, so they asked Ning Wan in unison, "How can we do it?"

Ning Wan knew that she was the only one who could help Sister Xi make up her mind, so she pulled Sister Xi and said in a low voice, "Let everyone go back and bring you a random change of dim sum, and then ask the kitchen if there is anything else, and ask them to make another one." Big dish."

"What if there are no dishes available?"

"No, since it's a treat, your kitchen will definitely prepare more dishes."

Sister Xi followed her instructions. Sure enough, there were still fish, meat, etc. in the kitchen. Ning Wan made a gesture, and Sister Xi immediately became enlightened, "Let's make fish ball soup, pick out the fish and chop it." Then add egg whites, starch, and seasonings and squeeze them into balls, roll them in the egg yolk liquid and pour them into the soup, then add some seaweed, coriander, and chives to serve." It was she who went to Sanjia Village a few years ago at Ning Wan's house Had fish ball soup.

Aunt Fei agreed to take everyone away quickly, and Ning Wan went upstairs with Sister Xi, and said, "Look, it's actually not that difficult to be a housekeeper, right?"

"Isn't it because you are by my side that I have the confidence?"

"Actually, you can do it yourself, as long as you are more courageous."

The two went upstairs talking and laughing. Just as they were about to sneak back to their seats, they heard Ms. Qian throwing a tantrum, "I just smell the smell of milk and everything makes me sick. I want to go home!"

Mrs. Qian lost interest, "This child has never smelled the smell of milk since she was a child. If she accidentally vomits, I'd better take her back."

Mrs. Zhao laughed and said, "Knowing that Ms. Qian is coming, I ordered them not to make desserts with milk." Then she asked the eldest daughter-in-law, "Is it?"

Young Mistress Zhao's complexion turned white all of a sudden, and she agreed, "I didn't do it."

Ning Wan quickly pushed Sister Xi, and reminded her in a low voice, "Give the incense ball on your body to Ms. Qian to play with." Two exquisite gold-plated incense balls were hanging on the side of Sister Xi Baitiaoqian's skirt. , there are spices in it, smelling it can suppress the smell of milk just now, after all, the dish was not served, and Miss Qian will not be able to smell it after a while.

Sister Xi hurried forward to pick up the pair of incense balls and said to Ms. Qian with a smile: "Sometimes there will be milk sold in the street, and it will bring some smell. Now it will be more obvious when you go out. Why don't you smell it?" .”

The scented ball must be very fragrant, and the smell of milk is also very light, so Miss Qian sat down again, but snorted: "People from Liaodong really like to eat these fishy things!"

Except for Mrs. Qian, the mother and daughter, who are both from Liaodong, everyone here is unhappy. They feel that Miss Qian's words are too harsh, but Mrs. Qian seems to have not heard them, and she doesn't stop them at all, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable. .

Everyone fell silent.

No one wanted Mrs. Fu Butou to say, "It's not just people in Liaodong who like to eat milk. Rich and noble families in the capital like to eat cheese made from milk. I heard that there are also various snacks made from milk in Jiangnan." Ms. Qian said: "Eat more cheese to grow taller and stronger, just like everyone in our family drinks milk every morning."

After all, Ms. Qian was a child, so she let it go after she had said something, but Mrs. Fu made such a solemn defense, leaving everyone at a loss as to what to say.The truth is that Mrs. Fu is right, but one is that the status of the Qian family is different, and the other is that Miss Qian is only under ten years old. Wouldn't it be boring to argue with a child?

Sure enough, Miss Qian said capriciously, "I won't eat it!" and Madam Qian glanced at Mrs. Fu, "Mrs. Fu knows quite a lot."

Mrs. Fu was about to say something when a young daughter-in-law behind her grabbed her arm and hurriedly interrupted: "My mother-in-law always said that Mrs. Qian is the most knowledgeable at home. After all, from Jiangnan to the capital, and then to our Liaodong , I don’t know what!” It was the new daughter-in-law of Fu Tutou, who hurriedly covered up for her mother-in-law, but she was too eager, but if she didn’t want to work hard, it would be hard to get good results, and Mrs. Fu would definitely quarrel with her when she got home.

In fact, there is no point in arguing about these things. The Qian family looked down on Liaodong, but didn't they go to Hutai County to become an official?The same goes for Mrs. Fu, who was already very dissatisfied with the captors because of those thieves, the county magistrate Qian, but now she foolishly heads over Mrs. Qian, and the new daughter-in-law of the Fu family shouldn't interrupt her mother-in-law in front of everyone... ...Ning Wan was afraid that there would be such unnecessary arguments again, so she smiled and said: "Speaking of knowledge, I haven't been out of Hutai County yet, I wonder where everyone has been?"

Madam Qian naturally wanted to show face to Madam Lu Shao, so she smiled and said: "I never went out of my hometown when I was your age, but after I lived in the capital with my husband for a few years, and then came to Hutai County, I also I’ve been to a lot of places.” Everyone started counting where they’d been, and it became lively all of a sudden, even ignoring the fact that there was no food served after waiting for half a day.

Fortunately, not long after, the fish ball soup was served. After everyone finished eating, they went on to watch the play, and listened to "Fengshen Yanyi" lively, and only then did they confuse the small twists and turns just now.

Ning Wan lingered in Zhao's house for a long time, seeing everyone leaving and wanting to leave, sister Pian Xi held her back and whispered, "Wait a little, my mother-in-law has something to say."

Ning Wan had no choice but to stay for a while, and when the guests were gone, she saw Mrs. Zhao salute her, and hurriedly avoided, "Didn't Mrs. Zhao let me shorten my life?"

"Since I saluted you, you deserve it," Mrs. Zhao said gratefully, "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, if I didn't have your help today, I'm afraid there would be a quarrel and break up!" Mrs. Zhao cared the most. She is a faceless person, if the Zhao family's banquet really breaks up badly, she can't bear it at all.

Ning Wan had already guessed that Mrs. Zhao already knew about the matter of steaming lamb with milk. After all, she was really capable. She couldn't hide the Zhao family's affairs from her, so she quickly waved her hands and said, "Since my cousin and I know about it, we must try to make it up. Yes, luckily nothing happened."

"Yes!" Mrs. Zhao nodded, and suddenly stroked her hair at the side of her mane and sighed, "I'm old! I can't worry about many things anymore!"

According to what Mrs. Zhao taught Ning Wan, Mrs. Zhao should check the menu and other things again last night or this morning for today's banquet. , only let go to the eldest daughter-in-law, and almost had an accident.

After all, Ning Wan knew Mrs. Zhao's suffering, and she felt very sympathetic after hearing this emotion, so she persuaded with a smile: "My wife has two daughters-in-law now, so it's better to teach the daughter-in-law carefully than to worry about it yourself. The younger generation is young, and some things are wrong. I understand, it takes Mrs. Zhao a lot of trouble. But as the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. It's annoying to mention them a few times on weekdays, but when the juniors can take over the important affairs of the family, Mrs. Zhao But don't worry."

Ning Wan's meaning is obvious, if the eldest daughter-in-law can't do it, then use the second daughter-in-law, and judging from today's events, it's not that Sister Xi can't teach well, but I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhao can't teach well, so she will always fail.And she knew that Mrs. Zhao always didn't like to speak out when encountering things, but she liked to remind others by beating around the bush. In the past, she spent a lot of time thinking about what she meant. He couldn't comprehend it, so that he became more and more timid in the Zhao family and didn't care about things.

Mrs. Zhao understood clearly, so she looked at Ning Wan with a smile for a while, "What you said is very reasonable!" When she heard Ning Wan talk about the origin of the Qian family the last time they met, she already suspected that the Ning family actually had some backers. Seeing Ning Wan today, she knew Madam Qian's preferences clearly, confirmed this idea, and was more interested in making friends, so she smiled and said and took out a small brocade box, "This is very suitable. Use it, keep it."

When Ning Wan saw the box, she knew it should be jewelry like hairpins and hairpins. She guessed in her heart that it must be a good thing, so she would not want it. "Mrs. Zhao, please leave it to your children and grandchildren."

"I have left them for myself, this is for you!" Mrs. Zhao handed the brocade box to Sister Xi, and said with a smile: "You give it to Mrs. Lu for me, if she doesn't accept it, I just ask your fault!"

Sister Xi grabbed Ning Wan's hand and forced it to her, "My mother-in-law is sincere, and she has always liked you, she has told me countless times."

Ning Wan had no choice but to take it, and hurriedly left after saying a few more gossips, thinking in her heart that Tie Shi might have come to pick her up.It's so cold outside, she can't bear him to freeze.
