The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 214 The Family Has a Good Wife ([-])

Today, the whole Dali Temple got the news that the new Sizhi Cui Dalang, his family sent him an excellent lunch, and he was inviting his colleagues to enjoy it together.

In the end, the rumors escalated. People said that the daily food sent by the Cui family was not an ordinary meal, but a combination of the secret dishes handed down from the two families of Cui and Xiao. It attracted the attention of many people, not to mention the classic dishes that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

As a result, more and more "colleagues" came to Cui Da's side to grab a meal. In the end, even Siqing, Shaoqing, Sicheng, and Sizheng were alarmed, and they all came over with their own rice in the corridor, smiling. Ask for an 'exchange'.

This is not to say that the officials and lords are greedy, it is really that Cui and Xiao's reputation is too loud.Moreover, families like theirs usually only use their family's private dishes for family banquets or major festivals. Usually, even their own family members can only eat one or two dishes, let alone eight poles. outsiders.

To put it bluntly, as an outsider who has no relationship or close relationship with the Cui family, it is very lucky to be able to eat the famous Cui's Song soup.

Now that the Cui family has delivered a large table of undisclosed meals (Cui Da has no words: the rumors are terrible), there is no reason for the gentlemen of Dali Temple to let it go.

The boss came, Cui Da and the other three colleagues, how dare they continue to sit and eat, they all stopped chopsticks, stood up and invited a few people to eat together.

When there are too many people, there is not enough food.When Xiao Nan was preparing the meals, he was worried that some of Cui's colleagues would eat a lot, so he specially prepared a Bihe group meal for six people, and it turned out...

Fortunately, Xiao Nan suddenly wanted to drink noodle soup, so he ordered the cook to cook a pot, but the cook thought that the soup was also for Mr. Lang, so she cooked it for ten people: six people sent it to the yamen, The remaining four people are eaten by the old lady, the lady and the mother next to the two masters.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Nan didn't want to reprimand the cook, so he sent someone to deliver a large bronze cauldron of seafood mushroom soup.

When Cui Da saw that the boy who delivered the food came again, he felt relieved—tsk tsk, the lady had the foresight. He was inviting people to dinner, but the guests were not full. When the word spread, he Cui Da was in Dali. How could the temple have the face to stay there?

Si Qing and others saw that the Cui family sent someone to deliver food again, and couldn't help but admire: Cui Lang married a good wife, how thoughtful and careful is she in handling things? !

Xiao Nan really deserves everyone's praise, look at what she sent: besides a copper tripod of soup, there are also six plates of five-color stuffed buns, six plates of three-color steamed buns, six plates of fresh lotus root and Hanlin stew, six plates of Five raw plates and a large plate composed of seven or eight kinds of fruit carvings.

"Lu Siqing, Fang Shaoqing... Gentlemen, this is our Cui family's secret seafood and mushroom soup, please use it slowly."

The servants helped more than a dozen lords to fill up the soup one by one, tear off the leftovers, and after arranging the newly delivered meals, they quietly left, and Cui Da was in charge of introducing the dishes.

Coincidentally, he ate almost the same just now, so he stood in front of several big bosses in Dali Temple and began to explain in detail.

"seafood?"

Lu Siqing looks more than 50 years old, lean and thin, with three strands of long beard, gray hair and beard, looks a bit dignified elder.

Although his surname is Lu, he has nothing to do with Fan Yang's Lu family. Because of his lack of talent and learning and his mother's pure filial piety, he was recruited by the court as an official. After more than ten years of officialdom, he is the most strict and self-disciplined official.

For Cui Da, Lu Siqing, like Chen Yafu, still admired him quite a lot, not for anything else, just because of his eagerness to learn and forge ahead, this little man can't be wrong.

It was also seeing Cui Youbo pleasing to the eye that Lu Siqing came to join in the fun today.

Picking up a long-handled silver spoon, Lu Siqing scooped up a spoonful of the soup, tasted it carefully, "Well, it does have a delicious taste, but I don't know what kind of seafood he used?" Anyway, he didn't see any sea fish or sea vegetables , Even a piece of sea laver can't be seen.

Cui Damang explained: "This soup is blended with seafood thick sauce, and the gnocchi is carved into the appearance of various seafood by the cook. In fact, there is no real seafood in it."

Lu Siqing and several others hurriedly stirred the soup with silver spoons, and sure enough, there were gnocchi about an inch in size, and these gnocchi were of different colors and shapes.

Well, the bright red ones should be shrimps, the vermilion ones should be sea crabs, the white and smooth ones should be sea mirrors (a kind of clam in Tang Dynasty), and the blue-brown ones should be flounder... Tsk tsk, these face-carved seafood, The sculptors are really good, and each of them seems to be real. So many "seafoods" come together to make a seafood mushroom soup.

The people present admired secretly in their hearts, as expected of the Cui family who has been making pimple soup for hundreds of years, they are so particular about it.Not to mention anything else, the cook's carving skills are definitely top-notch.

"Cui Lang, what seasoned these lotus root slices? The taste is so beautiful?"

Cheng Shaoqing looks about 40 years old. He is a distant cousin of that Lu Guogong, Cheng Gong. After he is barely a nobleman, he has eaten a lot of delicacies on weekdays, but after seeing Cui's dishes, he really doesn't recognize them. Certain dishes.

"Oh, this is our family's secret Hanlin bran. It is seasoned with Yongzhou crisp, and it is most refreshing when served with fresh and tender lotus root. If Cheng Shaoqing likes it, a certain servant will send some Hanlin bran to the house. At that time, the mixed vegetables Whether it’s good or not with porridge, it’s all very good.”

Cui Youbo is very generous. When he used to play with the young men in Beijing, he didn't know how much he gave away this kind of secret family dishes... If not, who do you think Cui Jiayulang's name is?If you are generous, you will be popular, and if you are popular, you will be sought after.

In the past, he was willing to give food and goods when he was playing and playing. Now that he is an official, it is even more serious to make friends with Shangfeng and his colleagues. Cui Da will not be stingy about such trivial matters.

"Hanlin? It's such an elegant name, hehe, let me send some to the old man's house too."

Lu Siqing also picked up sliced ​​lotus root slices with chopsticks and chewed them carefully. He felt that the sliced ​​lotus root slices were really delicious and refreshing. It is also a very convenient delicacy to eat with porridge or mixed with cold noodles (cold noodles) in summer.

"Su Chun would like to abide by the orders of the lords... After the lords return home in the evening, they will be able to eat Cui's Imperial Palace."

When Cui Da's brain is not in the wrong, he is still quite clever, and he made a joke at the right time, adjusting the atmosphere of the scene to be more relaxed and happy.

A large group of people were satisfied after eating the lunch, and when they were about to say goodbye, they all thanked Cui Da.

Lu Siqing is an elder and the boss of Dali Temple. Before leaving, he patted Cui Da on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Su Chun got such a good wife, great kindness. Princess Xiangcheng is worthy of being Xiao Gong's daughter-grandson." , the status is precious but you can still keep in mind women's morals... Su Chun must cherish it."

Xiao Yu, an old man, has a bit of a bad temper (dare to fight with the ministers at the court meeting), and his vision is a bit high (looks down on poor families and nobles), but he is still extremely upright and upright.The descendants of such an upright person will not be narrow-minded.

This Cui Dalang, who has such a good wife in his family, dares to play tricks, really doesn't know how to cherish blessings.

Cheng and Fang also patted Cui Da on the shoulder in a similar manner. They didn't speak, but only had a deep expression, which made Cui Da feel a little guilty.

Uh, why are they looking at me like this, is there something wrong with me and they found out? !

After sending away a dozen or so people who came to eat, Cui Da returned to his desk with a few volumes of Tang law in his arms. He spread out the first volume, and after reading a few lines, his thoughts flew aside.

The other three saw that Cui Da acted as if he was going to do something serious, so they didn't want to disturb him. They held a cup of warm tea and found a sunny spot.

He was in a daze for an hour, and when Cui Da came back to his senses and looked at the sky outside the window, he remembered what he said to the gentlemen at noon, so he hurriedly called the servant and told him to go home and tell his wife about it.

As for where each gentleman lives, how many small dishes each family delivers, and how to deliver them... Cui Da is not worried about these issues.His family has a virtuous wife, Xiao Nan, and a lady in charge, these trivial matters are nothing at all.

After dismissing the boy, Cui Da continued to read the first volume of Tang Law, but he had something hidden in his heart and couldn't concentrate on reading at all, so he continued to be in a daze.

Time passed quickly, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the westward sun, the four directors stretched their waists and twisted their necks—thick, happy, it’s time to get off work.

Standing up, calling their own servants and ordering them to pack up their things, the four ministers bid farewell to each other and prepared to go home.

"Suchun, let's live together in Chongrenfang, why don't we go together?"

Wang Ziqian is a kind person. He felt that today, Meng Cui Lang was so kind and enjoyed a delicious meal. He should reciprocate one or two out of emotion and reason—well, let’s mention Cui Lang a few words, don’t make him young Take a detour lightly.

"Okay, Wang Lang please."

"So pure please!"

The two left Dali Temple hand in hand, and then left the imperial city together.

Outside the gate of the imperial city, two of Cui Da's entourages led their horses and waited at the base of the wall, stretched their necks, and looked at the open gate.

"Lang Jun!"

Seeing Cui Da in a brand-new official uniform, his entourage Ada greeted him with a loud voice.

Cui Daxun looked around, but saw a woman about 30 years old dressed as a servant girl standing next to Ah Da and Ah Shan.

Why is she here?Is there something wrong with Axue?

Cui Da recognized that this person was the maid he bought for Bai Xue, and immediately thought that there might be something wrong in the outer house, and his pace was a little faster.

He didn't want to but was pulled back by Wang Ziqian, "Su Chun, please go slowly."

Cui Da was puzzled, "Wang Lang, it's getting late, why don't you go home as soon as possible?"

Wang Ziqian shook his head, pointed at the officials of the yamen who were walking slowly around, and said with a smile: "To be an official, you must have the dignity of an official, and you must be polite in every word and deed... Also, this is an important place for the court, women come here , I’m afraid there’s something wrong, brother knows that Su Chun’s family has a good wife, so you should pay more attention to these small things... Hehe, brother, I’m talking too much, please don’t offend Su Chun and Princess Xiangcheng.”

Cui Da met Wang Ziqian's pointed gaze, and suddenly, his face became extremely ugly, and he got the answer to the matter that had troubled him all afternoon...
