I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 871
Fu Zhizhen was very dissatisfied when she heard the final result.

"I think Lady Xia's paintings are worthy of being the leader. Her paintings seem simple, but she outlines countless characters of different shapes with just a few strokes, and describes the expressions of the elders just right. Such a profound and simple way to show The picture in Xinglin today is a testament to my skills. Compared with hers, mine seems to be too skillful."

"Of course her paintings are good, otherwise she wouldn't be rated as the top flower. But of course your paintings have merits, and there are more than hers. Otherwise, why would we rate you as the leader? And this ranking is ours. After many people discussed it together, it is already very fair. Don't say any more, the ranking has been fixed and cannot be changed!" Chen Shanchang said in a deep voice.

Fu Zhizhen frowned, but she still lowered her head after all. "The juniors know."

Only then did Chen Shan wave his hand. "Okay, today's game has been played, it's time for the banquet."

"Okay, Miss Gu's family has already arranged everything!" Chen Zixing said hurriedly.

Because it was not easy to bring a living thing along the way from a high-ranking official by the river to the capital, so what Xia Ying brought to Chen Shanchang this time was all dried meat that had been prepared long ago.

But even if it is dried meat, it has a different flavor!

No, among the dishes served by the servant boy, there is a platter of jerky, spiced, salt and pepper, spicy, and rabbit meat, bamboo and rat meat also occupy half of the plate.These finely cut jerky are neatly placed on the plate, and decorated with seasonal flowers next to it, it looks extraordinarily elegant and stylish.

In addition, Sister Fu also made a soup with sliced ​​rabbit meat and sour bamboo shoots with salted rabbit meat, and everyone prepared a bowl on their desks.

The steaming heat wafts out of the bowl, bringing a faint meaty aroma.Take a sip, the salty fragrance has a little sour taste, very appetizing.

By the way, Xiao Qi also peeled and removed the cores from the apricots picked in the apricot forest, leaving only the apricot pulp mashed, and then put it in a pot with sugar and boiled it over low heat, and finally cooked a small pot of sweet apricot meat sauce .

Each person uses a small plate to share a small portion, which is the most suitable dessert after a meal.

As for other seasonal vegetables and fish, just improvise.With Xia Ying's training for so many years, needless to say, the two girls naturally made things with gusto.

Therefore, when these foods were delivered to several tables one by one, after the guests tasted them, they all praised them greatly.

Seeing this, Xia Ying was also full of joy.

"It's a pity that fresh bamboo rats and rabbits can't be transported for the time being, so now we can only blame everyone for eating dried meat. However, my younger brother will come to the capital next year, and he will definitely bring fresh bamboo rats and rabbits. Such meat, Whether it is grilled, stewed or braised, it is delicious. At that time, we can choose two of the fattest ones, cut them into thin slices and grill them directly with a grate. You only need to sprinkle some salt and pepper on top, and serve with a cup Plum wine, that tastes so good!"

Now I am eating delicious jerky, and listening to her describe how to put the fat and thin slices of meat on the grate and slowly roast them until they are golden brown and crispy. fragrance.At this time, take another sip of the sweet and refreshing green plum wine...

That feeling, thinking about it, I feel that every pore in my body has been stretched, and every bone in my body is comfortable and comfortable.

They were salivating just listening to it.

And Xia Ying has already said that she will bring everyone to eat together!

"I can see it! Miss Xia, you have a great talent in studying food! Come, come, I will toast you!" Fu Zhou happily raised his glass to Xia Ying.

They can play tricks on eating, and even they are persuaded.And the delicious food in front of me also proved that this little lady has real skills, she is not just lying!

These people have lived to this age, they have played everything they should have played, and fame and fortune have already passed away.Those people who can mix with Chen Shanchang are also a group of wandering wild cranes.So now, all they care about is to carry forward their favorite paintings, and other than that, some small enjoyments.

Today everyone watched a wonderful art club gathering, and now they ate delicious food, and listened to Xia Ying's outlook on the future, and their moods were all activated.

They love this little lady!
They also fully understood why Chen Shanchang valued Xia Ying so much.This little girl really deserves it!

Therefore, everyone's attitude towards Xia Ying became more and more cordial.

In a good mood, everyone couldn't help discussing the works of the girls from the Cai Painting Club just now, and began to comment on the pros and cons of them.

Of course, Xia Ying's work was also arranged.

She heard with her own ears that so many masters analyzed all aspects of her paintings one by one, and she also truthfully explained her thoughts during the creation process.

After a long round of eager exchanges, Xia Ying once again benefited a lot from these big names in the painting world.

The more everyone chatted, the more fun they had. After eating the food on the tables, everyone still felt dissatisfied, so they ordered people to remove the tables and tables, and everyone wandered in the apricot forest talking and laughing.Out of excitement, someone picked up a brush and painted on the spot, expressing their enthusiasm.

Sister Fu and Xiao Qi also took the opportunity to play their own games, and the two children also got guidance from a group of big bosses, and they also benefited a lot.

The excitement lasted for a whole day, and it was not until the sky was getting dark that everyone bid farewell and left.

Before parting, Fu Zhizhen made an appointment with Xia Ying again, and they would form a painting club together someday, and then reluctantly parted with Xia Ying.

After everyone else left, Xia Ying also went to say goodbye to Chen Shanzhang.

Chen Shanchang had a cold face, and he said coldly: "Brother Xing."

Chen Zixing immediately walked over holding a big rattan box.

Xia Ying was puzzled. "what is this?"

"This is a painting made by everyone in today's gathering." Chen Zixing said, "Isn't there a Qianjin Bookstore under your family's name? Then put these albums together and publish them. After printing, remember to give to everyone who attended the meeting today." Give everyone a copy."

Uh……

Xia Ying was surprised. "Such a precious collection of paintings, all of them are handed over to me?"

"It's not for you, it's for your Qianjin Bookstore!" Chen Shanchang corrected her loudly, "Isn't your bookstore always determined to help poor women all over the world? Be sure to use it all on those poor women. If you let me know that you have embezzled money, I will not let you go!"

"Of course. Specialized people are in charge of special affairs. From the beginning until now, I haven't been in charge of the bookstore's money, okay?" Xia Ying said angrily.

She is just a painter, and she doesn't care too much about other things in the bookstore, and there are special people in charge of those.

In this regard, they have been running well for many years without any problems.

So what Chen Shanchang said was too blunt, she had to mock him!
