The front yard is so lively, but the back yard is a little cold.

As soon as I came to bring my family members today, that is, the family members of several small officials, I heard my man say, how is this Imperial Doctor Du so bad, and he is from the capital, so he was timid for three points first.

Looking at it again, Mrs. Qi is dressed in a noble and gorgeous temperament, which makes them even more ashamed of themselves.

Looking at the banquet again, it is also exquisite that I have never seen, compared to the banquet of Mrs. Ling's house, which is magnificent, and I have never seen many dishes.

Even the maids and servants who served the food were all in retreat, wearing all the same cyan dresses, which were refreshing to look at, and their manners were more comfortable than their own pampered daughters.

There are also a few maids serving next to the table, introducing the name of a dish when it is served, and asking the guests from time to time what they need.

Let the family members of those petty officials shrink more and more, and look at Mrs. Qi in the seat, that posture, I feel that I can't even hold chopsticks.

Finally, someone mustered up the courage to praise Mrs. Qi for a few words, but Mrs. Qi only smiled faintly, and she was not happy.

They are becoming more and more afraid to make mistakes.

Mrs. Zhang is at ease in front of Mrs. Qi, she knows that Mrs. Qi is actually a fun-loving character, and this is in front of outsiders to put on such a shelf, and naturally she will not expose it without interest.

Instead, he sat comfortably at the table, and because of filial piety, he couldn't eat a lot of dishes.

However, Mrs. Qi had already prepared, and specially asked the kitchen to make a few vegetarian dishes and put them in front of Mrs. Zhang.

There was a maid who wanted to come forward to serve Mrs. Zhang to eat, and when she saw which dish she looked at with her eyes, she put it on the plate in front of her.

Mrs. Zhang took two bites, only felt uncomfortable, and said simply: "You kid, you are busy with your going, let me eat it by myself and it will be sweeter." ”

The maid pursed her lips and smiled, she was Mrs. Qi's personal maid, and she also followed Mrs. Qi to watch the game that day, knowing the relationship between the two families now, and also knowing that her master was quite temperamental to Mrs. Zhang, today Mrs. Qi specially called her to serve Mrs. Zhang, I was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would be inconvenient or embarrassed, so I was good to watch from the side.

Who would have thought that this mother-in-law is very comfortable, just like at home, she doesn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and she put down her chopsticks very happily at the moment: "The old lady eats first, just call the slave and maid if she lacks anything." ”

As he spoke, he stepped aside.

Mrs. Zhang first listened to the introduction of the girl next to her, saying that she is a chef today, but she is the apprentice of the cook who cooks for the emperor, and the skill is still there?

Not to mention, the dishes on the table are just beautiful when made, like flowers, and people are reluctant to put down chopsticks.

Looking at the other official wives, if you meet them on weekdays, you probably won't even glance at the corner of your eyes as a country woman.

I never thought I would be able to sit at a table today.

Because of her filial piety, she can't eat those dishes that look delicious, so she can only watch dryly.

I didn't expect those official wives to just look at it, but it made Mrs. Zhang wonder, could it be that these people have filial piety in their families?

Later, when I looked at these official wives, they awkwardly stretched out their chopsticks, and they tasted one or two bites, and they all sat there and watched.

I am more and more puzzled, this is a dish made by the emperor's chef apprentice, why don't you eat them all? What a waste!

If she can't eat it, she can wrap it up at this table today, and if she can't finish eating, she can pack it back and give it to Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Wu to taste, right?

Therefore, as soon as the vegetarian dish was served, I only ate two bites, and I wanted to swallow my tongue, it was so delicious.

It's a pity that Mrs. Qi's girl has a chopsticks to clip so little, where is enough?

Just let the girl go and come by herself.

Mrs. Zhang had a few vegetarian dishes, and asked for a bowl of rice, and ate a lot of food, and ate a lot of vegetables, and ate it very sweetly.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi, who was used to eating her own cook's skills, couldn't help but be hungry, so she simply asked for a small half bowl of rice, and actually finished eating.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi was like this, the other ladies were dumbfounded.

Not to mention anything else, the men in their family are also small officials, and they have a lot of money, of course, even if they have some extra income, they can feed a large family, which is better than ordinary people, and there is meat on the table on weekdays, which is good.

When I came to the banquet today, the men in the family were all told to be reserved, not like I had never eaten a banquet in my life, I would rather be hungry than look ugly.

There are even some people who nibble on two steamed buns before going out directly, and their stomachs are still full.

Who wouldn't want to eat a banquet like this? It's just that I don't dare, I'm afraid that I will eat indecently and be ridiculed.

This mother-in-law took the lead, and Mrs. Qi followed, so that those ladies didn't know for a while whether they should follow their heart's wishes and let go of their belly to eat, or listen to their own men, and go back hungry when they die?

At one time, a table of ladies watched Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Qi eat so deliciously, and swallowed saliva.

After a while, an older female dependent couldn't help it, and turned her head to look at the maid serving behind: "This girl, can, can you bring me a bowl of rice?" ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said, "This lady, please wait a moment." ”

After a while, a bowl of steaming rice came up, and the lady pulled two mouthfuls of rice, and the chopsticks went towards the dishes on the table like rain.

One of them moved, and the rest couldn't bear it.

"Girl, bring me a bowl of rice, a bigger bowl."

"Girl, do you have a bun? Give me five first. ”

"Girl, have a bowl of noodles—"

……

No one spoke for a while, anyway, I couldn't shoot the horse's legs, and it was not uncommon for Mrs. Qi to be well-informed.

In this life, I can't say that I have such an opportunity to eat such a decent banquet, and rounding it up is to eat a royal banquet.

Who cares if you go back to your own man, what does the man say? Eat it first and then talk about it, with this banquet, it is enough to talk for a lifetime.

Therefore, one by one, the female dependents also put down their face and buried their heads in hardship.

The backyard was so quiet that only the sound of eating remained.

A few maids and servants of the Qi family, look at me, I look at you, I have followed my master for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a banquet, it is really delicious!

Several servant women who were farther away couldn't help but say, "How do I look at this Chef Li's craftsmanship today, it seems that it is getting better and better, and I can see that I am hungry." ”

"Let people go to the kitchen for a while and say, let's take out some silver, and let Chef Li leave two dishes for us too, and dip them into the light?"

"Okay, count me as well. Look at the roasted duck, the skin, golden butter shiny, crispy and crispy. It's a pity that these people can't eat it, so how can the skin be stained with sauce? I've heard that it's best to dip that white sugar in—"

"If in the past, I was afraid that the rest of this table would be rewarded to us, but now I look at this posture, and I guess that this time the chef is busy steaming rice, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat——"
