Everyone washed their faces and used the lin family's room to change into clean clothes before sitting under the grape trellis and enjoying the cool breeze.the sight of the wine and vegetables in front of them was full of color and fragrance, and they immediately felt their appetites widen and their stomachs rumble like drums.
Today, because of the foreign guests, the lin family's women and children did not sit at the table together. Under the grape trellis, there was only a large round table. Old master lin invited father zhou and master liu to accompany him. Together with lin dashan and the yao family's father and son, zhou shanchang and his five or six students, the table was full on the twelfth and thirteenth.
Zhou shanchang and his students were still waiting for old master lin, the owner of the family, to toast first. However, old master lin picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish first. Then, he greeted them with a smile," hurry up and eat. Everyone is hungry. Let's talk slowly when we' re full." "
Zhou shanchang was a little surprised. He glanced at the yao father and son. Seeing that they didn' t hesitate at all, he picked up his chopsticks and ate sweetly. He couldn' t help but smile.
So he began to eat too.
The other gentlemen felt that the lin family wasn' t well-mannered, but they were really hungry, so they couldn' t care less.
Jiao Jiao's craftsmanship had indeed increased greatly. And because there are so many vegetables in summer, it is not difficult to prepare them. Therefore, this table was filled with eight hot and four cold soups.
If not for the fact that these people had discovered the lin family's secret, she would have prepared more dishes.
But even so, the more they ate, the more surprised they became.
Still, in a small village in the barren north, it would be nice to fish for small fish and shrimp in the river, but where did the big carp come from? Also, where did the fried prawns come from?
The most important thing was the taste of these dishes, which was even better than the restaurants in the capital city.
Could it be that the lin family was the queen of the imperial kitchen?
Everyone ate and drank their fill, and this suspicion grew even more. Unable to hold it in any longer, someone asked," elder lin, where did you hire a chef? This food is really delicious. "
Zhou shanchang also smiled and said," previously, I was surprised that not only did senior brother not lose weight, but he gained weight. Now I know. How could she not get fat after eating such a good meal all day? "
After old master yao's disaster, he had suffered a lot. Now that he had met the lin family, he had found peace and was more concerned about the way to raise his health. He was looking forward to living for a few more years. He would look at the future and see what kind of future the yao family would have in the future.
Therefore, he only ate seven minutes and put his chopsticks away early. When he heard his junior brother's words, he smiled and looked very proud. He turned around and waved to Jiao Jiao, who was eating watermelon in a corner." Jiao Jiao, come to me. "
"Yes, grandpa yao! "
Jiao Jiao wiped the corners of his mouth and hands with a handkerchief before running towards old master yao.
Old master yao really liked and appreciated Jiao Jiao. If Jiao Jiao hadn' t treated his injuries, he wouldn' t have lived like this.
After staying in the lin family for a long time, he became more familiar with it. He knew what was so special about Jiao Jiao, so he guessed that the lin family wanted to transfer their father and son to the stone field to help lin dashan with his homework. It was also this little girl's suggestion.
In particular, the recent entrance and exit of the school, the two different books, together with the magical arithmetic, were all from Jiao Jiao's professor, and he added a bit of awe.
In ancient times, there were legends that there were hundreds of years apart, and there would be strange people who took over the heavens and earth to be born. They would know things that others did not know, and they would be exceptionally intelligent, far more than ordinary people.
Sometimes, he looked at Jiao Jiao, who was eating fruits and casually pointing out the math and learning of his brothers, or casually saying some extraordinary and wonderful poems. He discussed the family affairs with his elders like an adult. He couldn' t help but think, maybe this little girl was just like the legend in the book ...
"This is Jiao Jiao, the youngest granddaughter of old hero lin's family. If I'm not wrong about this table today, it was Jiao Jiao, wasn't it? "
Jiao Jiao smiled and nodded." Grandpa yao is really amazing. He guessed right. My mother took care of the kitchen outside, and I was too busy to do so, so I volunteered to cook. Fortunately, the taste was not bad, otherwise, he would have snubbed the guests. "
The little girl was only six or seven years old, and her crimson silk shirt was paired with an ivory skirt, embroidered with butterfly's little embroidered shoes, and she was very harmonious with the two silver winged butterflies on her head.
Her little face was white and clean, fat and chubby, with a bit of baby fat on it, complementing her slightly protruding forehead. Her big eyes, nose, and cherry lips were curved into crescent-shaped eyes due to her laughter. No matter how she looked, she was smart and pretty.
Everyone couldn' t help but nod their heads. After all, the children in the family were the most able to reflect the elders' teaching and behavior. Children were clean and well-mannered, and they were definitely good for adults to take care of and teach.
However, it was even more surprising for such a young girl to cook such a table.
"Miss Jiao Jiao is so skillful at such a young age. She must be a virtuous woman in the future. "
Everyone praised them. Jiao Jiao bowed and thanked them one by one. Finally, he said," my family has a snack shop in the city. My great master, grandfather jiang, was originally a chef in the capital city. I' m usually free, so I' ve consulted him many times. Now, grandpa jiang was the one who taught them well. "
The little girl was beautiful and cute, and she was rare and not greedy. This time, even zhou shanchang was extremely fond of her.
"That's right, smart and courteous, a good girl. "
If she were in the capital city or the southern states, whose daughter could win such praise from zhou shanchang, she would probably make her entire family pass out in joy. Moreover, it was immediately known that this girl had grown up and was afraid that the person who proposed the marriage would step over the threshold.
However, the lin family did not know the reason for this. Secondly, they already thought that their servant girl was the best and deserved the best praise in the world.
As a result, neither old master lin nor lin dashan stood up in fear and thanked him. However, old master yao said," junior brother, I don' t know. Jiao Jiao isn' t the only one who is good at cooking. He's from the school ..."
"Ouch," said old Mr. Yao, but Jiao Jiao suddenly covered his stomach." Grandpa yao, my stomach is screaming. I' m really hungry. I'll go to the kitchen and have a bite to eat. You have to praise me. Can we talk about it tonight? "
"This girl, I just complimented you a few times, but she looked so weird. I can' t help but praise you." "
Old master yao was certainly not a fool. If Jiao Jiao used other excuses to interrupt his words, he might not be able to guess the truth. However, last time in the school, he persuaded lin dashan to take out the arithmetic school and benefit the entire yue people. Now that the old trick was repeated, she definitely didn' t want him to continue.
So he immediately changed his mind.
Old master lin agreed with her with a smile," the family has spoiled this girl more and more. "
Although everyone felt that Jiao Jiao was being impolite, old master yao did not blame him. Since he was in the lin family, they naturally did not care.
