Chapter 158 You are cruel, I burst into tears

The snow fell straight, and the banquet could only wait until the weather cleared up, but it did not affect Yixing's enthusiasm. Then Chang Ning and Qin Zhao planned the banquet: "The plum blossoms in the back garden of Rongshouju have just bloomed, and they are blooming again." After this heavy snowfall, there is no need to vacate another place. Originally, the snow scene of Fucui Pavilion is also very good. In the future, whether you want to enjoy the plum blossoms or go to Fucui Pavilion, what will this girl Azhao plant in the garden? The warm shed, the beautiful scenery has ruined her, she is really a girl who chews peonies."

Qin Zhao was listless and not in the mood at first, but when she complained, she couldn't help giving her a blank look: "I'm a cow chewing peony, not as elegant as the third sister, okay? Turning around, the vegetables grown in the greenhouse, the third sister Just don’t eat it, you ate my food in the morning, now you’re all complaining about me.”

"Huh, does this girl know how to talk back?" Yixing rushed forward, "It's time to fight."

Because the room was filled with silver charcoal, it was very warm, and all three of them were only wearing close-fitting thin dresses. During this commotion, the rings jingled, and the skirts and shirts were messed up from time to time. Chang Ning didn't look like it anymore, and pulled the two , scolded: "You two little enemies also calm down a little bit, bickering when you get together, fortunately, you are at home, if you go out as a guest, it's like this, it's a joke, you are also in Yixing, how old are you, How old is Ah Zhao? You are an older sister, why don't you know how to let it go?"

Yixing pouted, why didn't she give in to this damn girl?She used to do whatever she wanted, now it's this girl's turn, but this damn girl opened her mouth so viciously, she didn't say anything that didn't make her angry.

Seeing Qin Zhao glaring at Yixing triumphantly, Chang Ning had a headache and cursed with a smile, "Both don't worry about it, okay, okay, let's get down to business, if you make trouble again, I won't bother you, let you make trouble."

Qin Zhao and Yixing quickly admitted their mistake, and only then did they get down to business.

Because of this disturbance, Qin Zhao's spirit improved a bit.

The banquet was held in the Plum Garden. On the edge of the Plum Garden is the Furong Lake next to the Fucui Pavilion. There happened to be a two-story warm pavilion by the lake. When the time comes, the banquet will be held on the second floor of the warm pavilion. Only open the window facing the lake, put more carbon basins in the house, and then put a warm couch, a long table, and move more basins in.Jie Fang overlooks the vast snow scene, the indoor green leaves are like spring, and drinking some warm wine, eating delicious snacks and vegetables, I think the girls of the Pei family must be happy.After all, they have lived in Yangzhou for a long time, and Yangzhou belongs to the south, so it is difficult to see such heavy snow in winter.

Qin Zhao thought, in this weather, it’s better to have a barbecue and enjoy yourself. Wouldn’t it be more interesting to do it yourself than to serve it in the kitchen?
Then I mentioned the barbecue, the meat in the Kingdom of David can be boiled or roasted, and there are all kinds of spices and roasting utensils. After hearing this, Chang Ning and Yi Xing both clapped their hands and said hello. That's a good idea."

You are the dead girl, Qin Zhao cursed.

The three of them thought about what to roast, and Yixing said: "Mutton and venison are available at home, but the venison is marinated and not fresh enough, but the mutton can be killed and sent from the big kitchen. The most tender lamb meat, but this is the only one, isn’t it monotonous for entertaining guests?”

Qin Zhao rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. On that day, I will order two whole chickens from the kitchen. Don't remove the feathers. Only the internal organs and blood will be removed, and then they will be wrapped in mud from the lake. Put it in the pit and burn it thoroughly, that is the real fragrance. Besides, meat is not the only thing that can be grilled, and other things are also good. Although vegetables are rare, it is not difficult for our family to find a few courgettes, right? Leek, when the time comes to roast leek skewers, courgette slices, don’t I still have some red sweet potatoes for seeding? I reluctantly gave up, and I also took two, grilled red sweet potato slices, and asked the big kitchen to make some steamed buns. Cut into slices and bake until browned and crispy. After eating these, serve them with two cold soybean sprouts and radish sprouts, to remove the greasy taste and keep everyone satisfied. Do as I said, you can’t go wrong .”

"The chicken without hair, wrapped in such dirty mud and burned in the soil? How dirty is that? And the steamed slices of leeks and courgettes can also be baked?" Changning and Yixing hesitated.

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "We can't do anything in this heavy snow day. We are idle too. Why don't we try it now? Second sister and third sister don't worry, if it doesn't taste good when the time comes, you can just join me to relieve your anger." That’s it, if it’s delicious, just listen to me.”

Changning and Yixing were also bored, so they responded with a smile.

Qin Zhao then called someone in, made a list of everything needed, and handed it to the maid.

It's just that there is no place to burn the beggar chicken.Qin Zhao couldn't help it, so he called the servants from the outer courtyard, found a pavilion behind Changning's courtyard, and put a large charcoal basin, and waited for the servants to wrap the chickens and put them in, and then lit the wood for burning. That's it.

When the leeks, courgettes, steamed buns, mutton, pickled venison, grilling utensils, and spices were all brought up, Qin Zhao asked Changning and Yixing to sit aside, and she started to move.

The smell of barbecue disperses from time to time, and the little girls who provoked all gather around to look at it. Qin Zhao's fingers are flying like flying, and he keeps turning over the vegetable skewers and meat skewers on the grill. Yes, let Changning and Yixing taste it first.Vegetables are naturally cooked faster than meat skewers, especially leeks and courgette slices, which have a unique aroma when roasted. The most amazing thing for Changning and Yixing is that the steamed slices that they would never eat normally, are eaten This roast is actually a rare delicacy in the world.

By the time the lamb kebabs and venison were grilled, both of them were [-]% full.Qin Zhao also kept a few strings for himself, and the rest were packed in food cages, and some were sent to the old concubine and Princess Jinyang.

Changning and Yixing only ate two skewers, and Qin Zhao stopped them: "You two sisters, don't rush to eat, what's so delicious about these, wait for a stick of incense, let you taste what is the world Absolutely delicious."

Hearing what she said, the two of them also became curious. Could it be that what the girl was talking about was a chicken wrapped in silt that looked so dirty that it was hard to eat?

Seeing the disbelieving expressions of the two, Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Second sister and third sister are a little restless and restless. Whether what I said is true or not will be known in a while, so why not wait? After all, you don't care about it right now. You've almost eaten, even if I lied to you, you still won't be hungry, right?"

He also asked Yan Hao to lead the maidservants to bring tea to digest.

After a stick of incense, Qin Zhao went out of the warm pavilion and went to the empty pavilion where beggar chickens were burning. The servant saw him and got up to salute. Already can smell a faint fragrance.Seeing that the layer of silt had been burnt into red mud, which had already dried out, Qin Zhao asked the boy to turn off the fire, took out the ball of mud, and when it was slightly cooler, he asked the boy to remove the outer layer mud torn apart.

For a while, the strong fragrance scattered, not only the servant who did the work, but also the maids surrounded by the verandah were greedy, even Qin Zhao wanted to take a bite immediately to satisfy his hunger.

Because this food is not tasty when it is cold, Qin Zhao and his servant put the whole beggar chicken on a large plain white porcelain tray, put it in a food box wrapped in cotton brocade to keep warm, and asked to follow her Yan Hao, who came, carried it and went to the warm pavilion.

After entering the pavilion, Yixing has already greeted him: "What is it, so fragrant and gluttonous?"

Yan Hao smiled and opened the food box, put the plate on the table, Qin Zhao took the refined salt and melted it in warm water, took a clean dish, smeared it on the chicken, and put it on the fire again, and then it was clean With his hands, he personally tore apart the whole chicken, and distributed the two chicken legs to each of Changning and Yixing. He kept the chicken breast and wings for himself, and said with a smile, "Sisters, try it, is it delicious?"

Just because of this fragrance, the two of them can't think of the thing that they disliked this beggar's chicken.Go down in one bite, woo woo praise.After eating a chicken leg, they were still not satisfied, so they snatched the two chicken wings from Qin Zhao's plate with each hand.

Seeing this, Qin Zhao opened his arms to protect the plate, and howled, "My chicken wings."

The three laughed and ate most of the chicken, and the rest was distributed to their personal maids.
Yixing said casually: "I haven't eaten enough yet, why don't you let me burn two? At that time, I will send one to my mother and grandmother each, and the girls will stay with us for half a day. I see how they are. I'm so hungry, tell them to eat some too."

Changning and Yixing naturally did not object, and asked Yan Hao to pass on the message. Qin Zhao thought about Shan Xiaoying in the Fucui Pavilion, so he simply let him roast two more, and then sent two to his own courtyard, and shared them with Shan. Xiaoying, Qinlei and Qinming, and Xiaoqiu in the courtyard must also like it.

After eating and drinking, Qin Zhao asked with a smile: "When we wait for the banquet, let's do this, okay?"

Chang Ning and Yi Xing were satisfied with the food, they both laughed and said: "It's really a good idea, I don't know why you girl have so many crazy ideas."

Then he talked about the details of the banquet, and Chang Ning wrote the list, wrote a post, and sent it to each family the next day.

Qin Zhao went back to the courtyard, but he was worried about disturbing Li Huaida and others in the village to do the oilcloth work, and he didn't know what to do. If the heavy snow continues like this, I'm afraid the greenhouse will be hopeless.

Two days later, Manager Li sent someone to say that it was a good idea to build three warm sheds with about seven to eight cents of land before the snow fell, and the seeds had already been sown. A bunch of vegetables come.

Qin Zhao waited for a few days, and finally drew up the gift list himself.A congratulatory gift was sent to Geshu Shizi's mansion.

Brother Shu Minglang returned the gift and thanked him, but he had nothing to say.

Qin Zhao also tried to put this matter behind him.

After Laba, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the winter sun was high and the snow had not yet melted. Two brothers and sisters Chen Bohu and Chen Jinwu from the Chen family accompanied You Gaoran, three brothers and sisters Luo Jingnian, Luo Jinghua and Luo Jingchen from the Luo family, and Ping Qinghou Two brothers and sisters, Qi Liangqin and Qi Liangxian from the mansion, both arrived at the Qin family early in the morning.After sitting down lively and lively, the two young ladies of the Pei family and the two young gentlemen were also led into the warm pavilion near the lake in the plum garden.

Da Lang of the Pei family is married, so he will not come to make fun of him. The 17-year-old second wife of the Pei family, Pei Feise, the 15-year-old Pei Sanlang, Pei Zhujian, the 13-year-old fourth wife, Pei Feiran, and the nine-year-old Pei Wulang Pei Zhujie.

When everyone saw the ceremony, Mrs. Pei was the elder among the brothers and sisters, and said apologetically: "We are late, our house is far away from the palace, the snow on the road has not yet melted, and the car is extremely difficult, which is why we are delayed. We were the ones who were rude, and we, brothers and sisters, will drink two more glasses later to make amends to you all."

The words were polite, but the voice was as sweet as a nightingale's cry.Qin Zhao had to admit that Pei Feise, the second wife of the Pei family, really deserved her name, she was so beautiful and picturesque, and everyone in the house, whether it was his two older sisters, or Chen Jinwu, Luo Jingchen, Qi Liangqin, all deserved her name. She deserves the reputation of being a beauty, but if compared with this Erniang Pei, she is indeed pale in comparison.

"Cousin Pei, you're being polite." Qin Zhao was in a complicated mood, and stepped forward to pull the two sisters Pei Feise and Pei Feiran to sit beside him.

Seeing her take the initiative to greet her, Pei Feise already guessed that this bento is the Lord of Fuling County, Qin Zhao, based on her age, so she said with a smile, "You are the Lord of Fuling County, right?"

Qin Zhao responded with a smile, and said: "Second cousin, don't be too polite, we have no outsiders here, we are all family friends, just let go and play, and second cousin just call me cousin. It's a pity that my brother is here today. Not here, when brother comes back next spring, let's make an appointment to talk again."

Pei Feise was surprised: "Cousin Zhe will be able to return to Beijing next spring?"

Qin Zhao nodded, smiled, and said, "My mother's coffin has not yet been buried, and when my brother comes back next spring, he will help the coffin back to Beijing."

"I'm sorry," Pei Feiran said apologetically, "I don't know..."

"Cousin is about to be impolite," Qin Zhao hurriedly introduced everyone, saluted again and returned to his seat.

The girls on their side were talking, and the young gentlemen on the other side also saluted one by one.

Sanlang of the Pei family is extremely handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Qin Zhe, making the three sisters of the Qin family feel close at first sight. Although Pei Siniang's appearance is not as amazing as her sister's, Pei Feiran can be regarded as beautiful Picturesque, delicate and lovely, the youngest Pei Wulang is only nine years old, his eyes are like lacquer spots, and he is as smart as a girl, with a childish air.

When the people arrived, Chang Ning, as the host, ordered the maids to bring some tools for the barbecue, and divided two long tables for men and women to sit down. On the table, a long iron box was placed, with a built-in charcoal fire, and a fine iron box was placed on it. On the net cover, when the time comes, just put the food to be cooked on it, turn it over from time to time, sprinkle with seasonings and serve, it is very convenient.

After the charcoal fire was set, the maids came in one after another with plates, and the plates of food were piled up on the long table one after another. The meat, fruits and vegetables, desserts and seasonings were very rich.

Both Chen Erhuo and Chen Jinwu came to the palace frequently, and they were not polite, they would start their hands as soon as the things were loaded, You Haoran was not too polite, and the two sons of the Luo family were not far behind, although Luo Jingnian was cold, But in this fiery atmosphere, there was a smile on the brow.

Seeing the men move their hands, the girls were not far behind, and laughed and took their favorite ingredients and put them on the iron net, and sprinkled them with seasonings.

Because the sisters of the Pei family were sitting next to Qin Zhao, Yi Xing still remembered that the food that Qin Zhao baked with his own hands was several times more fragrant than the usual barbecue. After being ridiculed by Chen Jinwu and Qi Liangqin, they simply moved to Qin Zhao's side. Seeing that Qin Zhao passed some roasted vegetarian vegetables to the sisters of the Pei family, he also kept a few bunches, and Yixing came behind him with a thunderbolt. He quickly snatched it from his ears, and flew back to Changning. Qin Zhao stomped his feet angrily, "Sister, don't you know how to do it yourself? I'm younger than you. You don't know how to respect the old and love the young. The younger sister just uses it." To protect? You look at the second cousin of the Pei family, and you know that you have to take care of the fourth cousin. I am younger than the fourth cousin Pei. You have the nerve to snatch me."

The girls who were talking about it burst into laughter again.

Yixing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said proudly while eating: "Who told you that you are good at cooking, and I am your elder sister, and you also said that you respect the old and love the young, so why don't you know that you should respect me first?" Is this your sister?"

While talking, he proudly handed the two steamed buns strung together with thin bamboo mirrors to Chen Xinwu's nose: "Jinwu, smell it, isn't it delicious? Let me tell you , I don’t know where that girl learned her barbecue skills. It’s very good. You can also ask her to grill a few skewers for you, that is, courgettes and leeks, and leeks rolled with thin slices of meat. What she said is called a root Yes, it’s also very fragrant, after a while she’s done baking, you grab some and taste it, then you’ll know what I said is true.”

Chen Jinwu's eyes lit up when she heard it. Although she loves to eat, she hates cooking by herself, and she knows that Qin Zhao is the best at cooking, so how can the dishes not be delicious?Then he also got up, rubbed against Qin Zhao, and said with a smile, "We have always been good friends. The sisters of the Pei family are your cousins, but I am also your cousin. I don't just put this cousin in my heart, but forget the truth of the other cousin. , Don’t worry about being few, but about unevenness, girl, you know what to do.”

Qin Zhao said coolly, "I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Chen Jinwu patted Qin Zhao's shoulder triumphantly, "My cousin will teach you. Simply put, it can be summed up in one sentence. I will bake a few skewers for your cousin."

Luo Jingchen looked at the two and laughed straight: "In this way, I am also a cousin, Ah Zhao, look..."

Damn, she bullied her because she was young, Qin Zhao didn't bother to care about these things, and passed the baked goods to Qi Liangqin instead: "Sister Aqin, try it."

Qi Liangqin accepted it with a smile, put it under his nose and smelled it again and again, then took a bite, looking very intoxicated, after tasting it for a long time, he said slowly: "This smell should only be found in the sky, where on earth is it?" Have to hear it several times."

Chen Jinwu sneered, "Deser", and finally returned to his seat unwillingly. Luo Jingchen covered his mouth and smiled: "Arthur, I don't see that you are also so naughty sometimes."

The sisters of the Pei family watched everyone laughing, and slowly let go.Although Qin Zhao ignored them, his subordinates were not idle, and he hadn't eaten two bites. After the roast was finished, besides the sisters of the Pei family, they also gave to Changning and Luo Jingchen, while Chen Jinwu and Yixing stayed behind. At the end.

After watching for a long time, everyone slowly found the doorway.Although the ones baked by myself are not as tasty as Qin Zhao's, they are not difficult to eat.

After a while, Chen Bohu also walked over slowly because he heard the girls at the other table praised Qin Zhao's cooking, winked at Qin Zhao, and said in a low voice, "Ah Zhao, I made a bet with Luo Jingnian, See if you are willing to bake a plate for brother to eat."

Qin Zhao glanced at him and said with a smile, "What did you bet on?"

"He has a pair of gold and steel swords, which are short swords. They were given by Grandpa Luo in the early years. I have thought about them for a long time. If you can bake me a plate, he promised to give me the pair of short swords."

"Whoever sees it has a share, I can help bake a plate, but the dagger belongs to me."

Although she is now mainly attacking the Luo family's guns, her swordsmanship is not bad. Although the dagger is different from the long sword, it is something that can be used in close combat. Recently, Shan Xiaoying has taught her how to use it. She is worried about where to find a good melee weapon, and it can be picked up by Chen Erhuo, and it is Luo Jingnian's treasure, and it must be a high-quality one. Given this opportunity, how can she Will you let it go?

"I'll give you something else? Whatever my sister thinks of, I'll get you from heaven, just those pair of daggers..."

"Never mind it," Qin Zhao shook his head, "I just want the pair of daggers."

Then why is he betting that he is co-authoring a wedding dress for this girl?Chen Erhuo almost cried.Although it hurts not to get things, but looking at Luo Jingnian's paralyzed face, he didn't want to let go of such an opportunity.

Being ruthless, Chen Erhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. You are ruthless. Damn girl."

"What did you say? Who is the dead girl." Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"I, am I a dead girl?" Chen Erhuo burst into tears.

　Thank you Yuexi for the recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, and thank you Heiyemao for the recommendation ticket.Ah, love you love life.In the past two days, I suddenly feel that life is so hopeful.
