Chapter 888 It's Surprising
During the gap between the first shadow puppet show, a servant girl from the Bai Mansion brought over the newly poured tea.

At this time, there was a person who had a special liking for that food, and the person who liked it very much couldn't help but pulled the maid beside him and asked.

"What is the name of this thing in your house? Why has it never been seen on the market?"

"Mrs. Hui, this thing is called spicy strips. It was made by the people in our kitchen according to the requirements of the old lady. The main ingredient is flour."

"It's made of flour? No wonder it tastes so strong, it's really delicious." The lady nodded.

"Madam, do you like it? The kitchen is still there, and the servant will bring some hot food over."

"So I'll excuse you."

"Ma'am, you're being polite." The maid stepped back after she finished speaking, and walked in with a new plate of spicy strips after a while.

This time the plate is divided into plates, which contain three flavors of spicy strips.

There are garlic, spicy, and five-spice flavors. They taste different, but the same thing is that they all taste good.

Because the people hadn't arrived yet, after a short intermission, the second shadow puppet show started again.

This scene is the scene of Hua Mulan returning from the army, and everyone watching is still very involved.

After the shadow puppet show was over, the commentator arranged by the White House came out again.

Because this arrangement is very thoughtful, the guests who came to the White Mansion were also very focused and earnestly eating and listening to the ups and downs of storytelling over there.

Occasionally discuss in whispers with the person next to you, and then put your eyes in front of you again.

These scheduled performances stopped at around 11:30 after noon, that is, after eleven o'clock.

After watching the performance, all the guests felt that they could not enjoy themselves to the fullest.

However, when I thought about the other banquets to come, I immediately looked forward to it with peace of mind.

Those old ladies are actually about the same age as Mrs. Li, even older than Mrs. Li.

In the past, he was the person in power at home, and rarely went out except occasionally to burn incense and worship Buddha.

It was a completely new experience for them to be brought by their master to visit another house.

They thought that after all, they had lived to such an advanced age, and had seen a lot of things and people, and they were just going through the motions.

Unexpectedly, I found out after I came here, and I found out after I went out this time...

Hey, it turns out that this is still possible when you go out to meet guests?

It's just... quite surprising and interesting.

Taking advantage of this time, Mrs. Li and Mr. Bai stood up one after another to meet the guests.

Mr. Bai received his old friends, and Mrs. Li, as the hostess of the Bai Mansion, went to receive those old ladies.

Mr. Bai's side is more relaxed and casual, after all, all the people who come here are people he knows.

After some simple politeness, they quickly entered the usual state.

On the other hand, it was the first time for Mrs. Li to see so many women of her age, so she looked a little...excited?
"How is Mrs. Bai's health? I asked someone to prepare a hundred-year-old ginseng, and I hope the old lady will accept it with a smile." Someone asked.

"I'm fine, thank you very much, just come, what gifts do you bring, ha ha."

Although Mrs. Li said so, she accepted the gift with a very honest smile.

Centennial ginseng?Good things, I will use them for my daughter when she has a baby.

"Old lady Bai is really lucky, her children are all so promising, it is really admirable."

"Unlike the old man, the son at home is strange."

"Hehe, I also feel that I am very lucky. Who can do it, who will make my life better?" Mrs. Li was not modest at all.

The old lady who spoke immediately said: "..."

She's just being polite, hello!
However, Mrs. Li continued to speak as if she didn't hear her sudden voice.

"By the way, you've also heard about my son and daughter."

"Let me tell you, my two sons are just like that, not worth mentioning, but my daughter is very good, don't you know..."

Then, Mrs. Li started the road of bragging about her daughter without thinking.

All the old ladies: "..."

Really long time see you! Hey!

They are all from high-ranking families, and none of the children and grandchildren in the family have official positions and status.

The reason why he spoke like that was just a polite conversation.

Who would have thought that this old lady Bai would be so... chatty.

Bai Jinli, who was about to leave after greeting the ladies at the side, immediately went over to hold her mother's hand when she heard this.

"Mother, it's almost noon, shouldn't it be time to invite all the old ladies to the table? After dinner, don't you have other arrangements?"

"Yes, yes, Lizi, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me."

Only then did Mrs. Li remember the main event of the day, and quickly ordered people to prepare the food for everyone to eat at noon.

Lunch was prepared as a buffet as Bai Jinli suggested.

The cooks of the Baifu began to prepare busyly early in the morning.

Those old ladies originally wanted to sit there and wait for the meal to be served, and then thought of finding an excuse to leave after the meal.

As a result, the servants of the White Mansion told them that they had to choose their own lunch today.

At that moment, the old ladies present were shocked.

That's it?

Can you do this?

When guests come to dine, they are asked to choose their own food?

what is the meaning?

Among them, several old ladies were already a little bit unhappy, but due to their status and face, they didn't show it.

When they really saw the so-called self-choice to eat, they were stunned.

It turned out that they wanted to fork.

Bai Fu did not mean to neglect them, on the contrary, it also brought them a visual impact.

They had never heard of this way of eating in front of them.

The huge dining room is very cozy and doesn't feel cold at all.

The tables and chairs are arranged neatly and cleanly, and there are particularly beautiful flower arrangements on the table, which makes people feel very happy when they look at it.

There are also several maidservants in the same costumes to guide and serve.

Except for the dining area, the hall is full of all kinds of steaming food.

There are thirty or forty kinds of pastries and desserts that smell great just by putting them aside.

Not to mention the food on the sidelines, it was so dazzling that people were completely dazzled.

There are cold skins that look crystal clear, soup dumplings with thin skin and plenty of meat, steaming fried dumplings, strange noodles with different colors...

Over there, there is barbecue meat that is placed on the iron plate and makes a sizzling sound from time to time. The piece of meat looks small, and it seems to be beef.

The plate on the side is a round plate with a wooden base, which is used to hold the fried steak, and there is a slender and red and green side dish.

The eating tool for steak is a knife and fork, and there is the kind of juice poured on the steak just now.

Someone curiously asked the accompanying woman to fetch a portion, and then looked at the strange knife and fork beside her.

At this time, the maidservant of the Bai Mansion who was standing aside immediately walked over to help.

They skillfully used the knife and fork in their hands to cut the steak into small pieces, and then pushed the plate in front of the old lady.

The old lady held the fork and took a tentative bite, her eyes lit up immediately.

The fried beef is very rotten and delicious, and it is very refreshing to eat.

Moreover, it was inexplicably novel for her to eat with such a strange utensil as a fork.

After seeing the man's actions, the other old ladies also started to act.

There are all kinds of barbecue with different flavors, and there are all kinds of food that have been seen or not seen before.

They wanted to taste a little of everything, so they asked people to fetch it.

In addition to all kinds of grilled meat and grilled vegetables, there are pan-fried tofu, oden, grilled cold noodles, grilled sausages, octopus balls, pancakes...

In addition, there are various Sichuan and Hunan cuisines, Huainan cuisines, Cantonese cuisines, Austrian cuisines and other cuisines, as well as various staple foods, various fried rice and fried noodles, various pasta, potato noodles, etc.

There are also different cold dishes, vegetarian dishes, etc.

Of course, hot pot is also essential.

There are different steaming pots, three fresh spicy mushroom soups, and various ingredients used to prepare the bowls.

The cut meat rolls and washed vegetables are placed aside, and they can be picked up with a plate.

There are also fruits in this season, and various healthy porridges.

Preserved fruit, tea, fruit juice drinks for relieving greasy...

All in all, this meal made everyone very satisfied.

Basically, I ate to the point where I couldn't sit down and had to support the wall.

Those old ladies were also very particular about people, and they only ate seventy percent full.

It's just that the White House that entertained them today really caught them by surprise.

So it is very rare for them not to control their mouths and feed themselves.

After eating, everyone's condition is much better than before, less restrained and more casual.

Of course, this is also related to the overall atmosphere of the White House.

As for the male guests, they were equally satisfied.

I have eaten the legendary snail noodles, and I have eaten the legendary hot pot.

In addition, I also ate a lot of unexpected things.

He also drank a little wine very heartily.

All in all, just one word, cool!

If they had known that the cooks in the White Mansion were so good and could make so many delicious dishes, they would have proposed to visit the White Mansion long ago.

After the meal, Mrs. Li proposed to take everyone out for a walk to digest food, and all the wives nodded in agreement.

The White Mansion is not particularly big, but the house next to it can't stand it now also belongs to the White Mansion.

The two prefectures were originally connected, so it took a lot of time to take a walk.

All the wives are also well-informed people, but they can't hold back the uniqueness in the White House.

There are no precious rockery treasures, but there are flowers, grasses, animals, vegetables that they never see in daily life...

Especially when they followed Mrs. Li's footsteps to the house next door, they were shocked.

Come on, there are actually people who use such a spacious house to grow vegetables and fruits?
The most peculiar thing is that the special thing about this house is that it was rewarded by His Majesty to Mrs. Li to grow vegetables.

very confused.

After actually walking into the greenhouse used to grow vegetables and fruits, those old ladies even became interested.

On a cold day, there are so many fresh vegetables growing in this place, as well as the delicious strawberries that they have eaten before.

Ah, can they also learn from Mrs. Bai and find a place in their own home to grow something they like?

Thinking of this, someone couldn't help asking this question.
