Chapter 790： People depend on food

Chapter 790 Food is the most important thing for the people

Unexpectedly, after checking it for a long time, she found something wrong.

"Uncle, this girl's ring has a mechanism." Shui Ling took off a silver ring from the maid's **** and sent it to Li Laoer.

She said excitedly: "There is an uncle in our village who is good at traps. I have seen him many times since I was a child. This ring is made too thick, it is definitely extraordinary!"

Li Laoer took it, examined it carefully, and fiddled with it carefully. He didn't know where it touched, and suddenly a silver light shot out directly in front of him, directly hitting the branches of a flower tree.

The branch that was visible to the naked eye immediately turned black...

Poisonous!

Everyone was shocked.

If this maid had taken action when they met just now and pricked Jiayin with a poisonous needle...

Li Laoer lost his temper at his niece for the first time and scolded him with a dark face, "Go back quickly. You don't need to interfere in anything. Just take care of yourself and don't cause trouble!"

Jiayin was also afraid of it, but he was still a little big.

Fortunately, this little girl wanted to get close to her first for some unknown purpose, and her medicinal powder was also very effective and acted very quickly.

Otherwise, she might have met Lord Hades by now...

"I understand, second uncle, I will go and accompany grandma right now." Jiayin responded obediently, took the orb, took the water spirit, and ran away immediately.

A woman was caught in the kitchen, and a maid was caught in the garden. It is estimated that the number of people sent by the other party is almost the same.

After all, none of the dead soldiers of any family are carrots and cabbages. How could there be only a dozen people dispatched every time...

After leaving the garden, Jiayin patted his chest, and Shuiling was also wiping cold sweat.

Only Baozhu’s excited eyes are shining!

“Sister Jiayin, who was that maid just now? An assassin, or a charlatan?!

“Why did she want to assassinate you? Did she have some misunderstanding and treat you as her father’s enemy?!

"What was the powder you threw out? Why did she pour it down immediately?"

He heard the good news and was dumbfounded. He knocked on her forehead and said, "I tell you to read less of the script, but you don't listen! What are you thinking about? I'll tell your mother that I won't let you go out again."

“Oh, sister Jiayin!” Baozhu quickly begged for mercy, “I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never read the script again!”

She hugged Jiayin's arm like a koala, playing tricks.

“Sister Jiayin, please give me a bottle of that medicinal powder, wuwu, if someone bullies me in the future, I will give him a slap in the face!”

The good news was ruined, and the maid brought by the guests looked over and said in desperation: "Okay, okay, I'll give you a bottle."

“In a few days, I will send someone to bring you fruits, and then we will take them with you.”

“Haha, great!” Baozhu was young after all, and was a little naive as he was pampered by his family.

The fright just now was completely forgotten by her, leaving only the excitement of getting the magical powder.

I don’t know how Li Laoer dealt with the two maids and women. In short, there were no unexpected incidents for most of the next day.

The banquet was served, with four tables for male guests in the front yard, and five tables for more female guests in the back yard.

Tao Hongying has brought out five or six apprentices in the past few years, all of whom are hard-working and talented.

 Today I transferred two of them to help make cold dishes.

The rest of the stew and several main dishes were made by Tao Hongying and Jia Huan themselves.

It’s not that Tao Hongying and Jia Huan are not comfortable if they don’t work, they are born cheap.

But in the simple thinking of the Li family, they brought congratulatory gifts to celebrate the full moon of the Li family's children and wished the children healthy and safe growth. The meals prepared by the Li family themselves were the most sincere reward as the host. .

Obviously this reward has been loved and praised by everyone.

Cyclamen is now the best-selling restaurant in Xindu. The private dining room on the top floor serves one table a day, and the wait is even after the New Year. People with no social status have no chance to taste the taste of private kitchens.

But it is said that the private dishes of Cyclamen are now the craftsmanship of apprentices, and the fourth wife of the Li family is no longer willing to take action.

But at today’s full moon banquet, almost half of the dishes were served by Mrs. Li Si herself.

On the tables of the female guests are dishes that women like, mainly sweet and sour.

For example, squirrel mandarin fish, pineapple sweet-sour pork, open-back shrimp with garlic vermicelli, double-section noodles, baked pumpkin with egg yolk, tomato beef brisket, etc.

All the female guests who ate there loved it so much that they didn't care about etiquette and everyone added an extra bowl of rice.

I don’t know where I bought the Li family’s rice. When steamed, the grains are distinct, soft, glutinous and sweet.

Look carefully at the shiny rice oil hanging on the surface of the rice grains, which is really rare and good rice.

Others were just paying it back and eating more if it tasted good, but Mrs. Jia was not polite and grabbed Mrs. Li's hand and asked for it directly.

“Old girl, where did you buy this rice? Bring me some when you leave later. It’s really delicious.”

Mrs. Li laughed when she heard this, but did not agree. Instead, she looked at her granddaughter who was accompanying the guests at the table next to her.

This rice is not sold in the market, but was brought out by her granddaughter. If she agrees rashly but embarrasses her granddaughter, that will not work.

He had heard the good news for a long time, and when he saw grandma’s eyes, he smiled and said: “Grandma Jia, this rice was bought by chance in a small town when my caravan went to Chuanzhou Prefecture.

“It’s so delicious, it’s quite unexpected for our family. We still have a hundred catties at home, so I’ll give you fifty catties, okay?

“When the caravan passes by there next time, I’ll ask someone to buy more.”

“Okay, of course.” Old Mrs. Jia agreed happily, and then said to Old Mrs. Li: “Don’t feel bad, old sister, I have some sable skins and I’ll have them delivered to you tomorrow.

"In winter, if you make a coat, you will definitely stay warm."

Old Mrs. Li laughed, gave her a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, and said angrily: "Who does Bao Zhu look like? From the looks of it, he was led astray by your grandmother."

“Oh, what do you mean it’s gone bad! My orbs are so good, they look blessed and have a good temper.”

Mrs. Jia protested, which made Mrs. Li laugh again.

There were only two elders at the table. If they were happy, others would naturally be happy too.

While talking and laughing, everyone felt very full.

The men in the outer courtyard were also quite satisfied with today's dishes.

Different from the sweet and sour flavors favored by female guests, most of the dishes on their table have strong flavors and are suitable for drinking.

For example, coriander beef, grilled lamb chops, cumin meat slices, stir-fried kidneys, salt and pepper shrimps...

The male guests ate with their mouths full of oil and drank some wine. They were all satisfied when they left.

After being busy for most of the day, we finally sent away all the guests. The young and old of the Li family were all tired and lacked energy, especially the old lady.

 Many women asked about their family happiness and well-being, and wanted to know where they were now and what errands they were doing...

But as a grandmother, she didn’t even know that, and was even worried about their life and death.

Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer are sitting in the outer courtyard at the moment, talking to two guests who stayed behind...

These two guests, one is Mr. Zheng, Li Laoer’s colleague. They have frequent contacts and are quite familiar with each other. Otherwise, he would not have brought his wife to congratulate them today.

The other person is Chu Yuanwai, Li Zhensheng’s partner for many years.

Back then, when he didn't recognize his ancestor and returned to his clan, and was still called Wang Xinqiu, the two of them were very good friends.
