Chapter 251 Pomegranate (third shift)
Qiaozhen's first impression of Master Ning was good, because she felt that there was a saying that Ning Ziyan was right. When Zhen Guogong and Chen Xuanyu were fighting in Huabei, because of the defeat in the war, they really lacked money and food for a while. Qiaozhen I asked, Master Ning really came forward to help with the preparations, urged many times, finally made the preparations, and sent them to Huabei in a hurry, and only then did they win the later victory. Will win so quickly, so Master Ning can be regarded as a help.

As the person approached, Qiaozhen got rid of all kinds of thoughts in her mind, straightened her body, and then she took the lead, followed by Ning Ziyan, and the two came forward to salute.

"Hurry up, get up, your body is inconvenient, why are you still so polite, don't stretch it out." Zhen Guogong hurriedly asked Sun Juhua to support Qiaozhen. Although he is a general, he has a gentle attitude towards his family. On the one hand, he likes Qiaozhen, so he usually doesn't let Qiaozhen be formal with him.

"Thank you father for being considerate." Qiaozhen smiled and stood up.

Ning Ziyan also saluted at this time, and was standing next to Mrs. Ning with red eyes, telling her how much she misses.

Master Ning looked at his daughter lovingly. Her daughter lost weight, and she must have suffered a lot.

"This is your Uncle Ning, see you too." Lord Zhen Guo introduced his old friend to Qiao Zhen.

"My niece and daughter-in-law met Uncle Ning, and Uncle Ning is healthy, it's been a hard journey." Qiaozhen saluted and greeted Master Ning.

"My niece and daughter-in-law please hurry up, they are all from my family, you are inconvenient, so you don't have to be so polite. The little girl has disturbed you for a long time, and my uncle hasn't thanked you well yet." Master Ning gave Qiaozhen a little help, and said It seems that Master Ning didn't particularly like Qiaozhen, but he didn't resent Qiaozhen either.The attitude towards Qiaozhen is very peaceful.

His daughter and Chen Xuanyu did not succeed, because there was no fate. Although he was very optimistic about Chen Xuanyu, he had his own choice, and he would not force it. At most, he just felt sorry for his daughter.To Qiaozhen, he is just an old friend's daughter-in-law, nothing more.

"Uncle, you are being polite. My sister is very sensible and distressing. With her here, I also have more people to accompany me. Life is much easier." Qiaozhen said politely. She would say such things, but she usually doesn't like to say them. Feel too hypocritical.

"Haha, okay, as long as you can get along well." Duke Zhen laughed out loud. He was still worried that Qiaozhen had ideas, but now it looks pretty good, Qiaozhen is not that petty.

"Father, uncle, it's been a hard journey, this is not a place to talk, please come inside." Qiaozhen turned sideways to give way, and let several people to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, the guests and hosts sat down, the first one was Zhen Guogong, and the second one was Mr. Ning. Chen Xuanyu took the first place on the left, Qiaozhen took the first place on the right, and Ning Ziyan sat on Qiaozhen's hands.

The maid stepped back after serving tea, and began to gossip.Mainly ask each other about the situation.

Qiaozhen got up after sitting for a while, she had to arrange meals for her father-in-law and Master Ning.

"Qiaozhen, although my father misses your craftsmanship, but you are a month old, you will inevitably bump into the kitchen, just let the cook do it, you don't reach out, you know?" He didn't want his daughter-in-law to get sick from cooking for him.

"Yes, daughter-in-law obeys." Qiaozhen nodded, although she thought it was all right, but what the father-in-law said was not unreasonable, if there was a collision, or if she was impatient and stretched, it would not be good, she had to pay attention, it is not time to be filial , when her father-in-law comes again next time, she can cook it for her father-in-law.

"Oh? Is my niece still good at cooking?" Master Ning's eyes were full of interest. He knew his old friend. He was famous for his fondness for food. Although he was not picky, he could meet someone he liked. If you eat, you will definitely be happy, eat more, and enjoy yourself. I remember that my old friend told me that he dislikes eating in the inner house the most, because he is restrained and tasteless.But now that he praises his wife like this, it shows that she likes him.

"Haha, you don't know, my daughter-in-law is quite good at cooking. I don't know how her brain is so long that she can think of everything to eat. I came here last time, but I enjoyed it. Not only can she cook, It’s still edible. Watching her eat, you will feel that you have a big appetite. This is really not a family that doesn’t come into the house.” Zhen Guogong smiled, and he was not as particular about his speech in the capital. Gives a sense of closeness and pride.

Qiaozhen glanced at her father-in-law, is this a compliment to her?Or she is also a foodie.

Ning Ziyan pouted secretly, what's so good about those vulgar eating.She felt ashamed to say it, and she didn't know what Uncle Chen and Brother Xuanyu were thinking.

"Father, Liao praised it. I wonder if my uncle has any taboos? If so, my niece and daughter-in-law will tell the cook to pay attention." Qiaozhen asked.

"No, the old man can eat everything, so I have to thank my nephew and daughter-in-law." Master Ning said politely.

"Yes, you don't need to worry about him. Don't look at him as a gentleman. He also has a good appetite. He eats no less than me. Go ahead and prepare more meat." Duke Zhen asked Qiaozhen to arrange it.

Master Ning smiled slightly, it seemed that the old friend was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, he could feel it from his demeanor and speech.My daughter is dead, hey, I hope my daughter will have a good marriage in the future, then I don't have to worry about her.

After Master Ning sighed in his heart, he talked to Zhen Guogong and Chen Xuanyu again. Of course, his eyes always looked at Ning Ziyan, his daughter, and he felt distressed.

The lunch was prepared lavishly. Although Qiaozhen didn't do it herself, the cook was watching while she was cooking. With her guidance, the cook was able to cook it with eight-point taste.

Duke Zhen was very satisfied with his meal, and Lord Ning also found it to be quite appetizing, so he became interested and ordered another drink, and the three of them began to drink.Talk about sex, drink quite strong.

Ning Ziyan frowned here, the table is basically meat and vegetables, how does she eat?Seeing a woman eating with one chopstick after another, she found it hard to swallow.

She felt dissatisfied, she felt that Qiaozhen must have done it on purpose, she clearly knew that she likes vegetarian dishes, when she first came here, she prepared a lot of vegetarian dishes for herself, but today she prepared all meat, this is not because she wants to be public Embarrass her?

"Why, sister, is this not to your liking? Why don't sister-in-law ask someone to treat you again?" Qiaozhen cared aloud, her father is here, she has to save face.In fact, she knew that Miss Ning didn't eat meat, and someone had already reported her eating habits, which was also intentional.She can eat anything by herself, so she didn't make vegetarian dishes on purpose.Let Ning Ziyan starve.

"No need for sister-in-law, these are very good, but it's hot now, my sister's appetite will be small when it's hot, and she will be full after eating a little. Please trouble sister-in-law." How dare Ning Ziyan let Qiaozhen treat her alone, and everyone else will eat It's fine, if she doesn't like it, then she won't be excluded.

"Oh, that's it. It's my sister-in-law who has a big heart and didn't pay attention to this. Later, my sister-in-law will order someone to bring some melons and fruits. It's best to eat more melons and fruits today." With a faint smile on Qiaozhen's face, So caring.

Lord Zhen Guo and Master Ning both nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Qiao Zhen was very thoughtful.

After eating and drinking enough, the banquet was withdrawn, Qiaozhen made people serve tea and melons and fruits, there are a lot of melons and fruits this season, in addition to the normal melons and fruits, there are also a few different colors on a plate, round and round s things.It doesn't look very beautiful, but it is novel.

"This is?" Duke Zhen and Lord Ning were both curious, they had never eaten it before, maybe they bought it in the mansion, but they never paid attention to it.

Ms. Ning was also surprised, she had never eaten it before, Qiaozhen had never prepared this for her before, so she didn't know it either, is this a show off purposely?

For their surprise, Qiaozhen was not surprised. The plate contained pomegranates. Pomegranates have not been cultivated on a large scale, and only a few places have them.

She asked someone to bring this pomegranate from Lin County, called Lingwu County. The pomegranates in Lingwu County are very famous in later generations, but it has not been spread here. The pomegranate production is small and few people grow it. Rare things, except for the people who grow them to eat, the rest are sold in the town, and they are not circulated to other provinces at all.

After Qiaozhen inquired clearly, she moved her mind. About pomegranates were almost on the market, so she sent people to Lingwu to look for pomegranates and buy them back. Who made her a foodie, she likes everything delicious.

The time she sent was just right, this was the first batch of cooked ones, and there were not many in total, so her people bought fifty and sent some to the Wang family and Mrs. Qin, and Qiaozhen kept the rest for herself. After getting down, she was ready to greet the guests, but what she didn't expect was that the pomegranates were bought yesterday, and they were just divided, and they arrived today, so it was just right.

And this pomegranate is not the common red in later generations. It has several colors, including apricot-yellow copper-skinned pomegranates, iron-skinned pomegranates with rust-colored spots, white-skinned pomegranates as white as jade and red-skinned pomegranates. Pomegranate with white, yellow and black peel.

Among them, the copper and iron skin pomegranates taste the best, but the white and flower skins are more beautiful, so people's evaluation of these pomegranates is similar.

"This is a pomegranate just on the market. It is produced here. Because the yield is small and it is not easy to preserve, it has not been circulated to other places. It is not a rare commodity. It is a fresh one for my father and uncle." Qiaozhen said with a smile. , the attitude is neither humble nor humble, without the slightest sign of showing off.

"How do you eat this?" Zhen Guo asked openly, and he never refused his wife's new tricks.

Qiaozhen picked up a pomegranate and peeled off the skin.The crystal clear seeds inside are exposed, the seeds are red and full, and they look very pleasing to the eye.

Several people were amazed, they did not expect that the pomegranate, which is not very eye-catching on the outside, is so beautiful inside.This is still the truth of the phrase.It's really unexpected!
