Chapter 1165 Good food
"Huh? Old madam...don't know?" Mrs. Hu was also stunned, logically speaking, the Du family has been rewarded, so it's impossible that the old madam didn't hear the news.
"I knew that the flood in Nanzhou caused a disease, but I didn't know that Ah Yu also went there."
"Isn't Ah Heng just messing around? Isn't the epidemic disease a minor illness? It will kill a whole city."
"This child, when the accident happened, he lied to me that he was not in the city!"
"If the Du family didn't get the reward, let's ask how long he will keep it a secret."
How dare the Hu family talk too much, it is obvious that the master and wife are hiding it from the people in their hometown, and they just talk about it without knowing anything.
"Forget it, I'll ask them myself." Chu Liu actually knew it well.
Ye Muyu called the kitchen to prepare lunch, and she also went in to cook two big dishes, fragrant fish and lotus root soup.
The lotus root has not been dug up, and it is left in the field. When it is dug out in winter, it is still very fresh. Therefore, in addition to cabbage and radish, lotus root is a fresh vegetable in winter for ordinary people in the capital, which can be changed.
When Chu Heng came back, he heard from the porter at the gate that the two elders and two children, Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang, had arrived. He entered the courtyard, and when he arrived at the dining room, he saw four children sitting on both sides, with Chu Zhiwen sitting on the head. With Chu Liu.
Ye Muyu is serving soup to the children.
He walked up, reached out to take the spoon in Ye Muyu's hand, without saying anything, took a bowl to serve soup for several children.
Seeing him coming, Ye Muyu sat down.
When Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang saw Chu Heng in official uniform, their hands and feet were terrified, especially when they saw him keep silent and put on soup with a sullen face, Chu Sheng quickly stood up: "Third Uncle, I, I will do it myself."
"That's right, it's so big, I can still make soup by myself." Chu Heng said, handing him the soup bowl and spoon, and after he took it, he sat down next to Ye Muyu.
Chu Sheng's heart tightened instantly. This was because the third uncle was dissatisfied with him, and that's right, how could he let the third aunt serve him the soup in person.
Chu Sheng took the lead in fear, and the other three children also took the initiative to stand up and serve the soup by themselves.
Chu and Liu saw Chu Heng's blatant protection, and it was a little funny. It seems that Hu's words are indeed right, and the relationship between the two is settled.
"Father, mother, there is a charcoal fire under this fragrant pot fish, it is still hot, you guys have a try." Ye Muyu didn't realize this, and she took the initiative to recommend it to everyone.
Chu Zhiwen happily drank a cup of hot wine first, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of grilled peppery fish, red dried chili and peppercorns, just looking at it made him very appetizing. Besides the fish, there were also some Vegetables, potato sticks, green vegetables, lotus root slices, bean sprouts, tofu, and fungus and other side dishes.
The fish skin is crispy, but the fish meat inside is very tender. The combination of the two extreme tastes has a novel feeling.
The fish is full of soup, like a tender steamed fish, but the skin is crispy.
The taste of the side dishes is full of flavor, spicy and numb, very appetizing for dinner.
The lotus root soup is more fragrant and light. After eating a big mouthful of food and drinking another sip of soup, I feel warm all over.
Because of being a little horse-sick on the road, Chu Zhiwen had no appetite on the road, and Chu Zhiwen, who had lost a few pounds, just felt that he could finally eat a meal comfortably.
Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang were both fifteen or sixteen years old, they were silent, they just buried their heads in their mouths to eat.
Ye Muyu was relieved when she saw that several people were eating happily. All four of them looked tired during the journey, and she was really worried that they would get sick if they stopped suddenly.
