Chapter 162 Master Liu Drunk

Just when Mr. Niu was worried, a young servant ran in quickly, and he came to his master and saluted a thousand times, "Master, the master chef brought by Yao Dong's family has already made 'Shan Hai Geng', please show me." , do you want to start the meeting now?"

Hearing this, Master Niu was taken aback. He was just worried about how to lie, but the back chef actually prepared this legendary dish?Master Niu looked at Yao Tiantian in disbelief.

Yao Tiantian nodded affirmatively to her, and explained in a soft and slow voice, "Niu Shibo, this 'Shan Hai Soup' needs to be eaten while it is hot to taste good, that's why my chef asks Shi Bo for instructions. I also ask Uncle Shi not to blame you."

Yao Tiantian's reassurance made Mr. Niu completely relieved, and his joy gradually rose from the bottom of his heart, "Okay, okay, okay, it's the right time."

Master Niu was overjoyed, and kept saying 'good', which perfectly interpreted Yao Tiantian's rhetoric that he loved this 'mountain and sea soup'.

Master Niu smiled heartily, and raised his arms to the expecting crowd, "Everything is settled, let's start the banquet, everyone come and taste the delicacies brought to you by my niece—Shan Hai Geng."

The family received Master Niu's order, and after a short while, the servants of Niu's family came out with various hot dishes, and the leader was the famous "Shan Hai Soup".Every table was filled with a table, which fully showed the wealth of the Niu family and the importance that Master Niu attached to this wedding banquet.

After the food and wine were arranged properly, the eldest lady of the Niu family came out with the seventh concubine and the protagonist of today's wedding banquet - the young master of the Niu family.Everyone got up again to congratulate Mr. Niu and his wives.

Not far from Mrs. Niu, there was an old man in green robe who came out with her. Yao Tiantian took a closer look, and it was undoubtedly Dong Li's family from Jade Pavilion. He had obviously cleaned up and put on a brand new green robe. , although his face was still haggard, but there was no anxiety in his eyes.

Seeing Yao Tiantian's gaze, Dongjia Li gave her a grateful look, and wanted to squeeze her over with certain feet.

While greeting the guests, Mr. Niu also glanced at his family friend Brother Li from the corner of his eye. He was afraid that he would expose their previous lies, so he quickly gave him a calm look.Li Dong's family didn't know what happened in the front hall, but he knew that Master Niu would definitely not harm him, so he sat back honestly.

Yao Tiantian was overjoyed when she saw Li Dong's family's behavior, and her painstaking planning finally got off to a good start.However, she also understands that there are priorities, and this is not the time to chat with Li Dong's family. Mr. Liu of the county government is here, and she has not figured out his details. It is not appropriate to talk too much at this time, but let him touch it Go with your cards.

Thinking clearly, Yao Tiantian smiled kindly at Li Dong's family, then held up the wine glass in front of Master Liu, and said politely, "Master Liu, Mr. Yao came to Ning County for the first time, please take care of Master Liu. Let’s do it first.”

"Where, where, Yao Dong's family is very bold, well-informed, and even crazy about food. Even the cook of a restaurant in a small Qingshui town is so willing to work hard. There must be immeasurable financial resources and power behind this leisurely leisure. , I am a little master, I am afraid I have to rely on Yao Dong's family to take care of me." Master Liu talked eloquently, and every sentence was still trying to test Yao Tiantian's details.

"Master Liu's words are wrong. As the saying goes, 'People don't fight against the sky, and the people don't fight with officials'. We, the grassroots, only follow the lead of the county magistrate. Master Liu is always by Mr. Sun's side. We don't ask Liu The master will take care of her, who else can I ask?" Yao Tiantian said with a smile, but she didn't mention her family background.

Yao Tiantian's words touched Master Niu's heart. Their Niu family has been in Ning County for several generations. They have a deep foundation and a wide network of contacts. The county magistrate Sun has only been here for a few years. Compared with Niujia.However, because they had the word 'official', they forcibly overwhelmed the Niu family. Any concubine who had just married in his family could challenge his wife in charge.

But today, Master Niu came to have a son. After a false alarm, the young master was finally saved. The Niu family held a grand banquet and invited all the dignitaries.I thought that County Magistrate Sun would give him this face no matter what, and he would come to the Niu Mansion to congratulate him.

However, the facts gave Mr. Niu a slap in the face. Not only did the county magistrate Sun not come, but even Mr. Li, who had been by his side all the time, didn't come. Instead, he sent an unknown so-called Mr. Liu.A young young man with a hairy head is because of the banner of the county government.Just now, he could point fingers at his Niu's house and question Master Niu in front of all the guests and friends of the Niu's house, making him almost unable to get off the stage.

Fortunately, Yao Tiantian was vigilant, and Master Niu was not forced to tell the private family affairs of old friends.However, after a short pause, he began to interrogate the distinguished guest of his Niu family again.It's really embarrassing, it's too deceiving!

The young Yao Tiantian said it well, "People don't fight against the sky, and the people don't fight with the officials." The Niu family can bear the arrogance of the county magistrate Sun, but he can't bear a little hairless mouth anymore. Master.

The more Master Niu thought about it, the more angry he became, he also raised his wine glass, and said to Master Liu, "My niece Yao Shi is right, Mr. Sun is the parent officer of our Ning County, and he takes care of everything for the people of Ning County every day. Let's do something trivial. Don't disturb your lord. Old man, respect your lord Sun from a distance!" While speaking, Master Niu ignored Master Liu's discolored face, raised his hand, and spilled a glass of wine into the air.

Seeing Mr. Niu's insolent behavior, Mr. Liu's expression changed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and explained with a forced smile, "Master Niu is too polite, our Master Sun is from a county. Parents and officials are naturally concerned about the sufferings of the people. Mr. Niu is also the richest man in Ning County, and Mr. Sun is very happy for the old man for such a big happy event for your family. He..."

After a short pause, Master Liu said cruelly, "Master Sun can't visit the mansion in person this time, but he can't help himself. The order from Shangfeng came so urgently that he didn't even dare to sleep, so he rushed to Beijing overnight. Li. Master Niu's great joy, the adults will definitely make it up for you."

Hearing Mr. Liu's eager explanation, Mr. Niu's heart calmed down a little, and he no longer held any resentment in his speech, "So that's it. Mr. Sun's business is important, and I dare not bother Mr. Sun with this trivial matter in Niu's house." It's exhausting. Come on, Master Liu has worked hard too, I respect you!"

"It's Liu himself who can share Mr. Sun's worries. Mr. Niu, you are being polite." Mr. Liu glanced at Yao Tiantian who was smiling all over his face, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down with Mr. Niu.

Mr. Niu disturbed him, and Mr. Liu really restrained himself a lot. He accepted the toast from some gentry nearby, and stopped staring at Yao Tiantian.

Master Liu temporarily lifted his hand, and Yao Tiantian didn't bring up any more topics.Because Master Liu had already told her what she wanted to know.

When she specifically mentioned "Shan Hai Geng" just now, she had carefully observed Master Liu's expression, and saw that there was nothing unusual about him.And after the Shanhai Geng was served, he usually ate delicious food, completely intoxicated by it, and nothing unusual happened.It can be inferred from this that he really doesn't know all the right and wrong behind Shan Hai Geng.

But just now when he questioned him about his details, he took the opportunity to stir up Master Niu's grievances, and finally forced him to reveal the whereabouts of County Magistrate Sun.It turned out that it was a letter from the Central Committee of Beijing, sending him to Beijing to plot something, and even that shrewd Master Li went with him, leaving this Master Liu to look after the house, but he didn't know much about the inside story.From this point of view, if it is not that Mr. Liu is not trusted by magistrate Sun, it is that magistrate Sun himself is acting according to orders and being manipulated by others.

Yao Tiantian was thinking about her own thoughts, and didn't eat much.And Master Niu was considerate of her being a girl under [-], and out of the care of a fan of elders, he blocked most of the wine for her, so Yao Tiantian was saved from being drowned by bowl after bowl of spirits.

However, Mr. Liu, who represents Mr. Sun of the county government office, did not have such good luck. After Mr. Niu revealed his heart knot, he kept persuading him to drink. After a while, Master Liu couldn't hold on anymore, and was carried back by the yamen servants drunk.

Master Liu left, without the presence of officials and family members, everyone relaxed a lot.

Everyone pushed the cups and changed the cups. After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes, the guests and the host had a good time, and the dishes on the table were eaten up, especially the "mountain and sea soup" in the middle. Clean, full of wine and food, everyone was preparing to leave one after another, but Mr. Wang walked silently to the end.

He walked up to Yao Tiantian's side with some embarrassment, and asked in a low voice, "Yao Dong's family, your level chef, can you, can you..."

Although Master Wang's voice was not loud, what he said was still heard by the people around him. After reminiscing about the unique fragrance of sea soup, they all stopped and listened to Yao Tiantian's answer with their ears closed. , weighing whether he could hire Yao's cook.

Facing Master Wang's expectant eyes, Yao Tiantian nodded knowingly, smiled slightly, and raised his tone slightly, "Thank you, Master Wang for your approval of this 'Mountain and Sea Soup'. Youdao is a way of enjoying yourself alone, not as happy as a crowd." Le, since I found the chef of this dish in Ning County, I plan to let the fathers and folks in Ning County enjoy this rare delicacy together."

After a short pause, Yao Tiantian announced loudly to everyone who was listening, "I have decided to open a Shanhai Pavilion in Ning County, so that everyone who likes to eat Shanhai soup can have a good time!"
