Chapter 16： grab food

Chapter 16 Grabbing Vegetables

When arranging the dishes, Chu Nanzhi remembered the customs and etiquette of this dynasty that women and children were not allowed to sit at will, especially when dining with these great Confucians, they should pay more attention to details.

She first prepared the dishes for the second elder, and then prepared to serve the dishes prepared for the four little ones to the stone table in the pergola outside, so that they could take care of the little ones for dinner.

But as soon as she came out of the kitchen with the dishes, Chang Lao stopped her: "I'm not an outsider, so don't be so cautious. It's hot outside, so you can take the children to the table together."

Both Lin Jinxiao and Nie Huai'an were surprised. They never thought that the always rigid old man would let a woman sit with him. This is a rare thing.

Liu Lizheng took a look, he was the only outsider in the whole room.

If it wasn't for Mr. Nie asking him to stay with him, he would actually not be willing to eat here.

After hearing Chang Lao's words, he quickly echoed: "Chang Lao said so, Miss Chu doesn't have to stick to it anymore."

Chu Nanzhi was also a little flattered, but with Chang Lao's consent, she no longer had to deliberately follow these ancient etiquettes.

And the four little guys were even more delighted when they thought that they didn't have to go out to eat. They surrounded Lin Jinxiao happily and began to enjoy the food they had dreamed of.

It looks like a large table of dishes, but in fact there are not many dishes. Except for the pot of chicken soup, eggplant in oil, fried cucumber slices with pork belly, shredded pork with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Chu Nanzhi used two plates to serve them.

I have eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and I have seen a lot of ostentation, but it is the first time I see someone cooking like this, and the second elder still can't accept it.

In addition, this was in the hands of a well-known vicious woman, so even if the two elders agreed to stay for dinner, they were still a little apprehensive about cooking at this table.

Nie Huai'an first picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and then made a long comment: "This chicken tastes good. Li Sanlang's wife is really a virtuous person, and she can make good tea and rice."

Even though he watched the four little guys enjoy eating the few stir-fried dishes in front of him, he pretended not to see it.

He had already lost to the old guy Chang Yanjue in the courtyard just now, so he can't be allowed to gain the upper hand.

Be more reserved this time.

Well, reserved!

Seeing this, Chang Lao brought a piece of chicken over, chewed it slowly, but said nothing.

Chu Nanzhi saw that the two of them refused to eat the dishes she cooked, and she just thought it was not to their liking, so she ignored it and ate the dishes in front of her.

After all, she is a great Confucian, so it is not easy for her to have the cheek to earn people's yelling at her.

Ben was also worried that the stir-fried dishes yesterday would not be enough to eat, so I deliberately made more, but now it seems that I am worrying too much.

The leftovers on this hot day cannot be stored for long, she should eat more by herself.

After a while, she saw Nie Huaian put a chicken leg into Dabao Lin Ruiwen's bowl, and smiled kindly: "Dabao, eat a chicken leg to strengthen your body."

"Grandpa Nie, eat chicken legs to make up your body."

Dabao hurriedly put the chicken legs back into Nie Huaian's bowl, and hurriedly picked up the fried pork belly with cucumber slices in front of him.

He felt that this dish was more flavorful than yesterday's farm fried pork, and he really liked it.

Although he also likes to eat chicken drumsticks, the dishes made by the bad woman are not just what he wants.

But chicken legs, Uncle Li Ce has a lot of chickens at home, and occasionally brings them to eat.

Nie Huai'an was a little puzzled, these brats must have had a brain convulsion today, and the chicken legs are no longer fragrant.

Seeing that most of the dishes in front of him were eaten by a few little guys, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Looking at Liu Qingbo and Lin Jinxiao enjoying the food cooked by the wicked woman again, he began to curse in his heart:

Liu Qingbo, a worthless fool, is just a glutton, but his student is also an apprentice.

What a jerk!

Disgraceful!

Just when he was burning with anger, Chang Lao quietly stretched out the chopsticks in front of him and picked up the last piece of cucumber, fed it to his mouth and began to chew it carefully.

Finally, he showed a hopeless smile.

"Shameless old thief, actually bowed his waist for a piece of fried cucumber, it is simply insulting the reputation of a generation of Confucianism."

He glared at Chang Yanjue angrily, and cursed out loud.

After that, he directly picked up the plate in front of him and poured all the remaining eggplants into his own bowl.

Chang Yanjue was dumbfounded, and tearing off his face, he scolded Nie Huai'an: "You old man, you are so disrespectful in front of a group of juniors, you are really disrespectful."

Glancing at the table, he saw that the dishes in front of himself and Nie Huai'an were taken away by a few little fellows, so he stretched out his hand in front of Chu Nanzhi with lightning speed, and quickly poured half a plate of cucumber slices into the bowl inside.

Worried that old man Nie would come and **** it, he poured most of the plate of tomato scrambled eggs into his own bowl.

In this way, I felt much more at ease in an instant.

Looking at a bowl full of cucumber slices and tomato scrambled eggs, he finally didn't have to worry, showing a relieved smile.

After that, he shamelessly preached to Chu Nanzhi:

"Mr. Chu, you have worked hard today, drink more chicken soup to replenish your body."

After finishing speaking, I took another chicken leg to her.

Chu Nanzhi looked dazed, took the chicken leg with some embarrassment, and began to doubt:

Are these two old men really respected and respected contemporary scholars?

Both Lin Jinxiao and Liu Qingbo were too frightened to move their chopsticks.

Lin Jinxiao was used to bickering between the two teachers, but this was the first time he saw the two of them arguing over a few dishes.

And it's the dish made by this wicked woman.

He glanced coldly at Chu Nanzhi, who was gnawing on the chicken leg: This woman has been married to me for more than five years, and she has always been crazy and out of shape, never before.

What is her plan?

The more Lin Jinxiao thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Chu Nanzhi finished eating a chicken leg, feeling a little unsatisfied, the four little guys had already put down their bowls and chopsticks contentedly, and were watching the two old grandpas quarreling curiously.

Chu Nanzhi looked at the pot of chicken soup. Mrs. Zhou was too honest. The old hen she brought over was probably the heaviest in her family, and she stewed it all. The four little guys only cared about eating her dishes. Lin Jinxiao He and Erlao didn't eat a few pieces of chicken either.

If there is too much left over for dinner, it will be broken tomorrow.

She picked up another chicken leg and glanced at the four little treasures opposite.

Sibao is not so repulsive to her now, she wanted to give Sibao the chicken leg, but when the little guy saw that the bad woman wanted to take the chicken leg for himself, he ran outside.

Seeing this, the other three little guys also ran to the courtyard.

Lin Jinxiao began to realize that she was deliberately buying people's hearts in front of the elders, and stared angrily: "If you want to eat, you can eat by yourself. Why are you making so many dramas?"

Grandma has a leg.

A piece of kindness was treated as the liver and lungs of a donkey.

Being reprimanded for no reason, Chu Nanzhi was also very upset, and didn't want to spoil him, put the chicken legs back into the soup angrily, and sternly said to him in front of the second elder:

"It's just a chicken leg, what can I do, I think you have obsessive-compulsive fantasy."

"That's right. It's a good thing that the Chu family cares about their children. Dalang, how can you speculate on others like this."

Elder Nie couldn't listen anymore, and reprimanded Lin Jinxiao, then put the chicken leg into Chu Nanzhi's bowl, and said with a smile, "Chu Shi, leave him alone, come, eat more."

At this time, Chang Lao glared at Lin Jinxiao in dissatisfaction: "I see, there is nothing wrong with the Chu family. They are well-educated, and they cook good food."

"Teacher, I"

Chang Lao didn't give him a chance to speak: "Don't quibble, a slap can't make a sound, the family is not harmonious, Dalang, you should also find faults in yourself."

Lin Jinxiao was speechless after being reprimanded by the elders.

He was really aggrieved to the extreme, and his two teachers actually helped this wicked woman speak.

Could it be that the sun is coming out from the west today?

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Chu Nanzhi also felt that he was indeed wronged, but his self-proclaimed temperament was not worthy of sympathy.

But those little guys are innocent, they have been living in the shadow of the original owner for the past few years, and their lives are too pitiful.

Thinking of this, she put the chicken legs in the bowl back into the soup, thinking of saving it for the little ones to eat at night.
