Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 243 Listening to the Corner (2)
Shen Yu came in triumphantly from the outer room, holding a piece of paper in her hand, waved it in front of Shen Tai, and said: "Brother guessed the question for me, with this, I will definitely get the first grade in the master's exam this time. "

In words, there is no lack of admiration for Shen Xi.Shen Tai snorted disdainfully, he seemed to despise Shen Yu's self-satisfaction, and was very curious about the content on the piece of paper that Shen Xi wrote to him.

The old matriarch talked to all the daughters-in-law for a while again, concerning the marriage between Shen Tai and Shen Yu, Shen Tai had already made an appointment for the eldest daughter of Marquis Wu to marry in March next year, while Shen Yu had made an appointment for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry Shen Xi is the eldest son of the eldest son, and after he gets married, the younger siblings below can follow suit.

After saying this, the old lady asked everyone to go back.

A maid went to the outer room to spread the news, she went there full of excitement, and she came back blushing. When Shen Xi heard that they had finished speaking, she walked in, saluted the old lady again, and then took her hand to thank her. Hand in hand, ready to leave.

Looking at their clasped hands, Shen Tai felt glaring, and his heart was full of unwillingness. Why did Shen Xi take all the good things?Such a beautiful woman is a waste to him, can he do it?
With a heavy snort, Shen Tai rushed out of the door ahead of Shen Xi.

Back at Canglan Court, Xie Wei was going to the kitchen to have a look at the dishes for lunch, but Shen Xi was called into the study by two middle-aged men who were waiting in the courtyard. , one with a goatee, the other a little bald, both of them had smiles on their faces, and when they saw Shen Xi, they bowed their waists to meet Shen Xi.

Shen Xi went to the study with them, but after only chatting for a while, Shen Xi patted Zhao Sanbao and sent a message to Xie Yu, saying that he wanted to go out for a while. I went to the kitchen to have a look. The mother in charge of the kitchen is surnamed Lu. Everyone calls her Mama Lu. She cooks authentic Suzhou and Hangzhou dishes. Seeing Xie Mo enter, I also warmly introduced to her:

"The servants and servants inherited Zhou Dong, the ancestor of Hangzhou cuisine. They have been dealing with the stove since they were young. At the age of 12, they could cook a table for ten people. That year, they hosted a banquet for 300 people by themselves. Later, their enemies always gambled and lost everything. The servant had no choice but to sell herself into the mansion after earning the family fortune. As she happened to have no children, the servant wanted to live in the mansion for the elderly. The young lady could tell her anything. I knew what the eldest son liked to eat. Later, I asked Xiaofen, who was literate, to give me some food. Write down the menu and give it to you for review."

Xie Mo nodded and asked, "Can Mama Lu know how to cook spicy dishes?"

"Spicy food?" Lu's mother thought for a while and asked, "Does young lady like spicy food? The slaves are not very good at it, but Cuigu in our kitchen is from Sichuan, and she is also a cook. There is no one here who likes spicy food, but she is the only one. Cui Gu, come here quickly."

Mama Lu called another woman over, she was half a head smaller than Mama Lu, she was short and small, but her voice was full of breath, and she saluted Xie Meng without pause, very smooth, After hearing Mother Lu's question, Cui Gu said:

"Spicy dishes are the specialty of slaves, so just tell me what the young lady wants to eat."
