Chapter 437 Miss Gong is not a good match!
Li Zhensheng raised his hand and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't act like this. There are four brothers in a family, and there are more than 20 people in the family. How can they all be the good ones? There has to be someone who is the bad one, right?"
“It just so happened that I wasn’t at home before. Something happened. Others would say that the Wang family taught me bad things! Let’s let the Wang family take the blame!”
Li Laoer knew that his eldest brother didn't want him to feel sad, so he quickly put away the sourness in his heart and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will often stay with Mr. Wen from now on, and listen more to the things that happen in the court."
"That's right. You don't have to worry about the family. You need to prop up the front of the family first." Li Zhensheng praised his younger brother, then picked up his niece, "Let's go to grandma and see how your mother's banquet is being prepared. ?”
With that said, they went out.
In the front lobby, there were more and more guests. Smelling the aroma wafting from the kitchen, someone couldn't help but ask, "Are there any new dishes today?"
The young man served the tea and responded with a smile, "No, it's Baihuaxiang's private dish. It's the second meal today. The director has brought his family over for dinner!"
"Dong Yuanwai has booked two tables in a row?" The guest was surprised and said, "This private kitchen must be good, otherwise Dong Yuanwai is such a picky mouth and would not bring his family over to eat it a second time."
The young man became more and more proud after hearing this, and responded, "Of course, our chef's ancestors had royal chefs, and he can tailor the menu according to the guests' preferences.
For example today, the old lady of the Dong family likes to eat dumplings, so our chef made dumplings with cucumber and egg fillings, and the kitchen is cooking them. I dare not go near the dumplings because of the deliciousness, for fear that my saliva would turn into a river. "
The diners all laughed and wanted to talk. People from the Dong family had already arrived.
The director asked the family members, old and young, to go upstairs first, and then greeted everyone.
Someone asked, "Excellent Director, you have come here to eat twice in a row. Is this private kitchen really so good?"
“Of course,” Dong Yuanwai nodded and said with a smile, “not only is the food delicious, but you don’t know, this box is called Baihuaxiang, and there are famous flowers in it.
“I’m not afraid of everyone laughing at me. Last night I was thinking about what kind of flowers I could get today, and I didn’t sleep well all night.”
Before he could finish his words, the youngest son of the family had already run down and shouted, "Dad, there is a bonsai with golden plums upstairs. Mom asked me to call you."
"Seriously?" Director Dongwai hurriedly handed over to everyone and ran upstairs quickly. I really don't know how he can move so flexibly because he is so fat.
Everyone downstairs was itching to hear this, but the Dong family came out for a reunion, so they couldn't disturb them.
But some of the guests in the other private rooms on the third floor, near the water terrace, were familiar with the director, so they took the opportunity to say hello, then went into the potpourri and looked at the pot of golden plums with their own eyes.
Shajinmei is a rare kind of plum blossom. Its flowers are luxuriant and delicate and beautiful. It is most suitable to be made into a potted plant and placed on the desk. It is simply the favorite of all scholars.
Today, this pot is placed in the middle of the rotating table, beautiful by itself.
There are also four pots of ordinary plum trees placed in small pottery jars in the corner of the house and in front of the window.
Although it is not as eye-catching as the golden plum blossoms, it still has a subtle fragrance that makes people feel good after smelling it.
At this time, the kitchen started to serve food.
The juicy and white dumplings, the fragrant roast duck, the bright red cherry meat, the spicy boiled meat slices, the tooth-dropping fish ball and mushroom soup...
This made the guests who came to enjoy the flowers regretted that they had not grabbed the second table of private dishes before.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be gulping down my saliva right now, greedy for flowers and food.
The director pretended to invite them to stay and have a meal together. Of course they couldn't be so ignorant as to disturb the family reunion.
So they said goodbye politely, then went out to catch the boy, and began to order private dishes.
In the back kitchen, Tao Hongying had just finished serving the last dish. She wiped the sweat beads from her forehead, tidied up briefly and went to find her mother-in-law and daughter.
As a result, as soon as she left the house, she saw Jia Huan running to announce the good news, "Fourth aunt, have you ordered three more tables of private dining?" "Really?" Tao Hongying smiled happily, "This is great."
Of course craftsmen all over the world are looking forward to making more money and supporting their families, but this kind of recognition makes them even happier.
Mrs. Li and Jiayin were in the side room, and when they heard this, they both came out.
Jiayin hugged her mother’s thigh and shouted happily, “My mother is the best! My mother’s cooking is the most delicious!”
Tao Hongying hugged the fat girl and gave her a big kiss on the face.
She is the only one in the family who knows best that today’s success is at least half due to her daughter.
Without the recipes and special ingredients and ingredients that her daughter secretly gave her, there would be no way to have these novel and delicious dishes.
There are also those famous flowers in the box. The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and Ye Shan went around and bought them. Most of them were seedlings that had not bloomed, or some were just seeds.
But when it was sent to the Ye family’s yard, and then moved out, it looked like it is now in full bloom, which is astonishing to everyone.
Maybe it’s all my daughter’s miraculous ability...
“My lucky girl is so amazing, mother, I really benefit from you.” Tao Hongying sighed and kissed her daughter several more times.
Jiayin was shy and nestled on my mother’s shoulder, hugging her neck and twisting around.
Everyone laughed when they saw it. Mrs. Li patted her granddaughter on the back and scolded her, "My lucky girl has grown up so much that she actually knows how to be shy!"
Li Laoer turned sideways to shield his mother from the cold wind, and suggested, "Mom, there's nothing going on here. How about we go back first?"
Li Zhensheng also quickly agreed, "Yes, mother, Jia Huan and I are here."
Old Mrs. Li didn’t insist and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s go back first.”
Soon, Ye Shan drove the carriage to the back door, and the whole family got on it and returned to Suijintan.
At this time of year, everyone in Broken Gold Beach has also begun to experience cat winter.
Except for the old men in charge of patrols, who were sitting on the wall sheltered from the wind, basking in the sun and chatting, there was no one else outside.
After entering the house, Mrs. Li asked Aunt He to take care of Jiayin, wash her hands and change clothes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she entered the second room, pulled her son and asked in a low voice.
“Second brother, I have been thinking about asking you these past two days. Are you... planning to marry again? That girl Gong..."
Before my mother could finish speaking, Li Laoer's face turned red and he waved his hands vigorously.
"Mom, you are thinking too much! I have never thought about marrying again! And even if I marry again, I have to find someone of the same age. How can I find that girl Gong? She is not much older than Jiaren!"
Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, but was still confused and asked, "Since you are not interested in Miss Gong, why do you take care of her in every possible way... We thought you were tempted!"
Li Laoer's face was so hot that he could fry an egg, and he quickly responded, "Mom, Miss Gong's father was also killed while on a study trip, and their family gradually declined because of this.
“I remembered that my eldest brother had suffered a lot in our family, so I felt sorry for the siblings, so I took more care of them. Besides, I kept the rules and there was nothing wrong with them!”
