Husband, Have Dinner

Chapter 203: Lotus Tofu

The girls of the Xue family watched their friends leave, and when they saw a carriage parked at the side door, they immediately aroused interest, and the maid hurriedly urged them to leave.

After hiding behind the flower window, they fanned their faces with tapestry flowers, revealing a pair of curious eyes.

The servant handed over the invitation, and the concierge sent someone to the Liuxian Pavilion.

Seeing that direction, the girls instantly understood.

"Counting the time, she should be the one to treat the guests."

"Hehe, I heard that she hired the cook herself, but according to her monthly bill, even if she invites people, I am afraid that there is no material to do it."

"No, I heard Hongling say that she invited the lady cook to be at a loss for a bunch of flowers. What kind of decent food can some flowers make? Later, she added silver and bought the ingredients. The ingredients are not too much, Mandarin. The fish can barely catch the eye, but at this size, it is a bit difficult to make a big dish." She gestured to the size, secretly laughing, gloating.

This "she" refers to Six Girls, who hadn't heard of this person more than ten years ago. But one day, their grandfather and their father brought back a country girl, saying that she was frail since she was a child and grew up in the country. Now she took her home just after the catastrophe, and asked them to respect their elder sisters as younger sisters, and to respect their elder sisters. Courteous sister. The first day they came back, I changed their rankings. Because of the birth of this sixth girl, girls who were 16 and below forced their rankings for more than ten years to be postponed by one, and taught them how to be convinced. .

At this literary meeting and poetry and painting meeting, the family did not allow her to show up. They were not surprised. After hearing that, although she was not showing up at the poetry and painting meeting, she got permission to entertain her friends in the Liuxian Pavilion. She was allowed to invite the cook, they didn't care about it, but deep in their hearts they expressed envy.

The five girls who have not yet come out of the pavilion watched coldly, "After all, they are from our family, who make others laugh and feel proud? My Xue family's girl has reached such a narrow mind? Then what is the difference between you and the village woman."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left, and the remaining girls felt hot on their faces.

The youngest twelve girl was in the rebellious period, and her grandparents suddenly shifted their eyes to Xue Liu. She felt that she had become a little cabbage that her father did not love her mother and grandparents did not love her. She was at a loss and hated Xue Liu's weakness. She didn’t listen to what Wu Jie said. On the contrary, she wanted to see how embarrassed Xue Liu was when he was entertaining guests. She couldn’t listen to her sister’s advice to stop her, "Huh, I have to go and see it!"

...

Stay in Xianguan.

The indoor flowers are green in clusters, with many young branches and many leaves, and small pearls are scattered among the many green leaves. They cannot be placed in a long slender bottle like a night, but when the wind blows, the room is full of sweet fragrance.

The maid attracted the guests.

When she stepped into the room, she untied the veil and gave it to the maid. Under her smooth forehead, she had a little plum makeup, which was very delicate. When others saw her, she would be attracted by that little plum blossom instead of paying attention to her being longer than normal. earlobe.

Miss Xue Liu greeted someone as soon as she saw someone, holding the hands of the person who came, and calling out "Chen Xin" affectionately.

"Nianzhi."

"A good journey, will the sunlight be too violent?" Xue Nianzhi asked Liu Chengxin, bringing Liu Chengxin to the couch.

Liu Chengxin smiled and shook his head. "I heard that when you were taken back to Xue's house, I still didn't quite believe it. Is there anything I'm not used to?"

"It's like a dream." Xue Nianzhi smiled low.

Lv Ping presented tea and pastries, Liu Chengxin picked up the cup, her nose fluttered, her eyebrows stretched, and exclaimed, "It's so elegant, is it to put the tea leaves in the unopened lotus to soak the fragrance?"

Look at the lotus cake on the dark porcelain plate. It’s small and exquisite. Be bold and eat it in one bite. She couldn’t put it down when she saw it. She took a bite and tasted it. It was fragrant and crispy. Layers of pastry melted in the mouth. There is also the smell of lotus mushrooms.

Fortunately, it is not done very much, and it is not afraid of spilling when it is supported by a handkerchief, otherwise the puff pastry will be broken and it will be indecent.

"Yes, this is made by the cook I specially invited."

After eating snacks, they began to chat about poetry and painting.

Liu Chengxin brought a few scrolls. After they cleaned their hands, they took them to the desk to appreciate them.

Xue Nianzhi came from Nanxun, and Liu Chengxin lived in Beijing. Their meeting began in childhood. By coincidence, they shared the same hobbies and cherished each other. After that, they exchanged letters and exchanged letters on paper for several years until Xue Nianzhi was taken to the capital and became Xue Liu. The girl, taking advantage of the poetry and painting meeting and the small banquet, gave Liu Cheng an invitation and invited her to come. The two girls met for the first time after they grew up, and they were so intimate that they surpassed the barrier of time and space.

"Hey, Twelve girls, our girl is entertaining guests."

"Why, I can't come to see my sister as a younger sister? Get out of here!"

There was a commotion outside the Liuxian Pavilion. Xue Twelve stepped in with strides, and turned around and quickly locked on the person she was looking for. Lu Ping hurriedly followed behind her, like a quail with her neck curled up, and a rooster that was defeated in a fight. Don't dare to look up.

"Sister Twelve, are you okay?" Xue Nianzhi asked.

Xue Twelve's gaze fell on Liu Chengxin's eyebrows and earlobes, and then quickly swept across her clothes, already recognizing the identity of the person, and secretly saying that Xue Liu's luck even knew Liu Chengxin of Hedong Liu's family.

"It was Sister Chengxin. Let me see the guests of Sister Six." Xue Twelve was innocent, "What are you talking about, I want to listen."

"It's okay if you don't feel bored." Xue Nianzhi raised her eyebrows, did not drive her away, let her keep it, and continued to appreciate it with Liu Chengxin, and were interested in poem solitaire together, leaving Xue Twelve in the cold.

When it was time for dinner, the sky hadn't dimmed yet.

As soon as Xue Twelve saw the sky, the whole person became excited and encouraged Liu Chengxin to stay for dinner. Her six sisters specially invited the cook to cook.

Xue Nianzhi seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and whispered to Lvping, "Lvping, you go and see if you are ready."

"Girl, it's ready, ready to serve."

"Make arrangements." After she explained, she told Liu Chengxin that the dinner was ready. After eating first and then looking at the paintings, she glanced at Xue Twelve. Xue Twelve looked at her innocently and well, and Xue Nianzhi said again, "Sister Twelve also plans. Stay for dinner?"

"It's better to be respectful than fate, thank Sister Six for the hospitality!" Xue Twelve smiled and bared his teeth, as if demonstrating.

The cold appetizer is rice lotus root.

Jiangmi is stuffed with lotus root holes, the slices are neatly placed, and the rose bittern is topped. It is sweet and non-sticky, and it is very delicious after iced.

The second dish came up while they were eating.

This is a dish to watch, elegant and happy.

As soon as it came up, it attracted the attention of those present.

In the jade-white bowl, a white lotus is floating on the clear soup. The lotus is embedded with a few green lotus seeds, and the lotus leaves are dotted beside it. It is like transplanting the lotus from the pond and leaving it in the bowl.

"Is this a bowl of lotus?" Xue Twelve stared blankly, and for a while, he felt that it had gone in the wrong place. It shouldn't appear on the dining table, but on the side of the literati and ink guest's desk.

Lv Ping "This is lotus plant tofu."
