Chapter 1236

When Madame Liang was trying to get rid of Lian Fangzhou, she was arranging to receive the ladies' party.

This time, all the young men of her age were invited, including Liang Yi's wife and the second young lady of Liang's family.

Even though Lian Fangzhou had not invited the older ladies, he put in a post saying that he did not dare to work. He only got together with his peers to have a chat and laugh, and then held a formal banquet in the first month of the lunar month. Moreover, every eldest lady and husband gave gifts: a box of excellent tranquilizing spices from the capital, a pair of refreshing and soothing chests There are also a pair of ox horn combs produced by an old shop in central Beijing, and a string of eighteen strings of amber or honey wax.

Things are not very valuable. They are hard to find. After all, they are only good things in the capital. In this Nanhai City, money can't buy them.

Mrs. Liang naturally received such a gift.

In the spirit of curiosity, he opened it and saw that Lian Fangzhou was well prepared for everything. On the contrary, he was even more depressed. He pushed aside and ordered people to put them away and not appear in front of her again!

In the heart even hate to gnash teeth: this woman, very scheming! So willing to heart, want to hook a man how not to hook? No wonder her son, who is shrewd and careless to women, was also caught by her!

Even Fangzhou's dinner day was set on the sixth day of the lunar month. It happened that the weather was very good, and the bright sunshine was shining down. It was warm and warm, which made people feel a little lighter.

As early as yesterday, the rectangular flower hall on the top of the Xieshan mountain in the small garden of the back house of the governor's Yamen had been cleaned up and arranged as early as yesterday.

Early in the morning, outside the porch, the courtyard was full of blooming azaleas, camellia, Osmanthus fragrans, lilies, roses, cyclamen and other flowers in full bloom. They were gorgeous, as brilliant as Jinxia, and they gave out the elegant fragrance of flowers in the sun, adding a bit of delicacy.

In the hall, flower arrangements with unique shapes are placed on the table, the windowsill and other places. On the chairs and chairs, delicate and soft cotton brocade mats are carefully laid out, and the copper incense burner is filled with the fragrance of plum blossom.

On the corner of the porch outside the door, red mud stoves and silver frost charcoal are all ready for tea cooking, waiting for people to come and prepare ready-made tea.

The kitchen was busy, too.

All kinds of dim sum and pastry have been prepared since three days ago. Naturally, they are exquisite things in the capital.

Some of them will not change their flavor for a long time, but they will be ready to eat immediately. They will be ready together. They will estimate that the guests will not start to work until they are ready.

There is also the lunch table, also busy in the beginning of preparation.

The menu was prepared and purchased three days ago. The main dishes to be prepared are roast duck, chicken slices with hibiscus, cherry meat, Wensi bean curd, fish in golden soup and shrimp in Longjing, plus some local delicacies and an old duck soup with Dictyophora longan.

Naturally, the chef is the chef in Beijing.

It's not easy to choose these dishes. Lian Fangzhou is very easy to find out the tastes, preferences and taboos of these young men at the banquet.

It's even more difficult to make. This piece of chicken with Hibiscus is extremely trivial and requires a lot of things. It is a dish that tests the chef's Kung Fu most. If you are a little careless, you can't achieve the effect of "chicken slices are as white as tender Lotus", and the smooth and delicious taste will be greatly reduced.

For example, when smashing chicken paste, you should not only smash the chicken really rotten like mud, but also carefully pick and clean even a trace of fascia, otherwise the sliced chicken will not taste tender enough!

For example, when adding soup and egg white hanging from old hens, chicken bones, old ducks, pigeons, pig bones, scallops, longan meat, ginger, white pepper, etc. into the smashed chicken paste, how much to add at a time and how to stir after adding all depend on the chef's experience. If the crucial step is not accurate enough, the final chicken slices will have granules, And not easy to piece, easy to disperse.

For example, when cooking chicken slices, the oil temperature should not be too high. If the temperature is too high, the honeycomb will appear and the color will not be correct; when thicken the chicken slices, it should not be too thick or too thin, and it should be just right to form a transparent glass Gorgon. In this way, not only the surface layer of chicken slices appears crystal clear and attractive, but also tastes more delicious!

All in all, this is a very demanding table.

Lian Fangzhou relied on these to win the favor of the young ladies and to enter the local gentry and wife. Naturally, he was very willing to work hard.

Not long after breakfast, the guests came one after another!

Green peach with a decent mother's maid at the door to meet, Lian Fangzhou in the backyard of the hall waiting.

When the guests enter the second door, they also welcome out.

Most of the guests in today's banquet have met in Qiuxing Temple last time. They have seen the powerful means and bright and clear personality of this young and beautiful political envoy's wife. In addition, people have never been in disrespect in front of the governor, and they have cleaned up the back house by thunderous means. No one can help but take some with her In awe.When they met each other, they were courteous, and no one was arrogant and arrogant. They were happy together.

When the guests arrived, Lian Fangzhou got up with a smile and invited them to come back to the garden.

Everyone naturally said yes with a smile, and they all went around.

Today, it's just for fun and relaxation. Even Fangzhou's sincere enthusiasm and conversation topics are women's inborn love of dressing, rouge, water powder, jewelry, and all kinds of gossip anecdotes. People gradually become more relaxed, and gradually become more easygoing, and even more spontaneous and casual when talking and laughing.

As a matter of fact, people have never been to the garden of the back house of the governor's office. The former wife of the political envoy did not like social intercourse. On the one hand, the relationship between the government and the local tyrants was antagonistic. On the other hand, she looked down on the women in these remote areas at all. She thought that their characters were vulgar and their manners were not good enough to be associated with!

This time, I had to look around because of curiosity and giggle.

Even Fangzhou also showed full interest. Listening to the people's words, he said with a smile: "this garden is empty. It's really not interesting to see. When next spring comes, I'd like to rearrange it and create it again! Sisters, who knows who can design and decorate the gardens in Nanhai County, please recommend one or two of them to me. What flowers and grasses do you have in your family? I beg to go. Don't be stingy! "
