The guests love stones. Mr. Chao and his sons and daughters-in-law kept company. Mr. Li, Xiao, Shao, Chen and Cai did not join in the fun. He Le, a beautiful young man, He Xiaofifteen and Xiaoliu, and Mr. Wang slipped away to drink tea.
p>
A group of young people were sitting in the hall, eating tea, eating melon seeds, and discussing medicinal diets leisurely, not affected by the lively scene outside.
Mr. Liu also wanted to run away, but his old man was very interested and grabbed him and asked him to explain some terms.
Mrs. Wang is not crazy about jade. What she loves is dressing up little girls. She wants to find her little cotton-padded jacket after playing with it for a while. However, there are also more than a dozen ladies who come to the house. They play with her so much that she can only risk her life to accompany the gentleman.
.
Because the people he brought were turned away, Mr. Wu felt unhappy, especially when he saw a group of big E and a group of young people cheering Chao Jiayi's granddaughter more enthusiastically than him.
For the sake of appearance, he pretended to be interested in dealing with it.
He didn't have much interest. Ji Lao, Li Dong, Jiang Shao and others were very involved. They were admiring and exchanging opinions with each other. The scene was lively and full of enthusiasm.
Everyone was so involved that half an hour passed and no one went to drink tea. After twelve o'clock, the waiter came to ask Mr. Chao if he could prepare the meal. Everyone was still unfinished because the host invited the guests into the dining room to prepare for the meal.
I moved reluctantly for the time being.
When the guests were seated, the chefs and waiters rolled out several dining carts with rice and tableware. They placed them and took the tableware to fill the rice and dishes.
The Chao family tea party provides a simple lunch. It is not the kind of hospitality at a banquet, but like eating Western food. One meal per person. There is red wine and cups on the table, as well as soup, soup bowls, and rice. Guests can take whatever they want.
Use.
Mother Fang and others also acted as temporary waiters, passing plates, placing cutlery on the plates, loading rice, and then passing them to the chefs to distribute dishes, and the waiters delivered them to the table;
Le Yun, Brother Xiao, Chen, and others all put on white chef uniforms and made them spotless. They also helped carry the plates to the table. Little Le Xiao helped divide the dishes. She has good eyesight, and the portions are even and the speed is fast.
Quickly, only one dinner plate was installed in the big kitchen, and she finished two portions.
There are more than a hundred people in total, including the host, and there are twelve tables for hosts and guests, plus chefs, waiters, and domestic servants, for a total of fifteen tables.
With helpers, even the meal distribution is very fast. The meals for the twelve tables are ready in less than fifteen minutes. The chefs and waiters also have their own portions. The plates are placed on the table, the dining cart is covered, and everyone is seated.
Mr. Chao Er made a brief speech to express his welcome to the guests. At the end, he smiled and reminded: "There are two dishes and soup at noon. They are medicinal meals carefully prepared by the little girl of our Lao Chao family. I hope they are to your liking. Please be patient."
Use."
"The little girl cooked it, hurry up and try which one it is."
Ji Shao, Xuan Shao and others were in high spirits. After the host raised his cup to show respect from a distance, he happily tasted the food.
There are five dishes and one soup for lunch, which together are a lucky number. The hot dishes include twice-cooked pork slices, chicken nuggets in a clay pot, stir-fried konjac with pickled cabbage, the cold dishes are braised pork, stir-fried mushrooms, and the soup is fish head, chicken bones and wolfberry soup
Minister Ji Laohe and others heard that the soup was also a recipe made by a little girl. Some people drank the soup first, and some tasted the vegetables first. Within a moment, the table became lively.
"I guessed it, this one with pickled vegetables was made by a little girl."
"There is also braised pork, and the taste of braised pork is also unique."
Every dish tastes very good, but the ones with sauerkraut and braised pork taste the best. The thin and tough slices made of some material are crisp and delicious, and the braised pork is not greasy.
The foodie's mouth is sharp and he can taste it as soon as he tastes it. He specializes in two dishes.
The faces of the Chao family, young and old, were all smiles.
When the meal started, Mr. Jiang only attacked vegetarian dishes, because he had eaten the dumplings made by the little girl, and when he tasted the fried konjac with pickled cabbage, he knew that it must be the little girl's masterpiece.
Le Yun sat next to Mr. Jiang, looking at him as a vegetarian, with an enigmatic smile: "Young Master Jiang, are you worried about my craftsmanship?"
"No, I prefer to be vegetarian." Mr. Jiang remained calm as usual.
Le Yun would not reveal that he had anorexia, but helped Mr. Jiang fill half a bowl of soup: "This is a health soup specially prepared by me, Mr. Jiang, try it."
"Young Master Jiang is so lucky to be taken care of by a little beauty." Young Master Xuan blinked his eyes and said cutely: "Little beauty, I also prefer vegetarian food, can you take care of me too?"
"It's too late." Le Yun smiled brightly, her eyes turning into crescent moons.
At the same table, the handsome boys Zhou Shaojiang Shaoji, Shaohua Shaoxin, Chen Shao, Huo Shao and Tantai looked over and saw that the braised pork in Master Xuan’s plate was all empty. They suppressed their laughter and lowered their heads to eat their own portions secretly.
"Hey, where is my braised pork?" Mr. Xuan looked at his side, but the braised pork was gone! His eyes drifted to Young Master Jiang: "My braised pork must have gone to Young Master Jiang, it's my meat."<
/p>
The young master: "..." When did the young master of the Xuanyuan family become an unscrupulous idiot?
Jiang Shao looked back at Xuan Shao with a smile, picked up the soup bowl, and took a small sip. The soup fell into his stomach, and he was slightly surprised. Isn't it fishy?
I took another sip with doubt, it was not fishy, there was no smell of fish, and there was no smell of chicken. The soup was thick and fragrant, with..., what does it taste like? Well, by the way, it tastes like pineapple.
After taking several sips, there was no feeling of acidity in the stomach. Young Master Jiang took small sips and drank most of the half bowl of soup before putting the bowl away, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and ate rice again.
After eating a few mouthfuls, he noticed that the little girl kept looking at him sideways. He was silent and stretched out his chopsticks to the braised pork for the first time. He only picked up a thin slice of pig ear less than two centimeters long and put it in a bowl of chili sauce for dipping.
After taking a dip, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he fired his bow without turning back. With a mood more tragic than "the wind rustles and the water becomes cold", Jiang Shao put the meat into his mouth.
The smell of chili pepper stimulated his taste buds. He wanted to swallow the dates wholeheartedly, but he also thought that others would find out if he did so, so he chewed them like normal food.
While chewing carefully, he observed everyone at the table with the corner of his eye. Only the little girl looked at him with a smile, while the others were fighting with their food.
While he was observing everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but swallow the chewed food. When he found out, he was shocked. Did he really eat it?
He has not eaten meat for many years and has long forgotten the taste of meat. Even if he is not disgusted with the greasy smell recently, the feeling he associates with meat is still an unbearable feeling of nausea.
However, today, he actually indulged in meat and ate a piece of pork.
Moreover, I didn’t feel any strong disgust when I chewed it. It felt very crispy and... fragrant?!
Thinking of the crispy and fragrant taste, Mr. Jiang had a doubt in his mind. He always felt that the taste seemed a bit familiar. Where had he eaten it before? After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he silently picked up another piece of meat, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it.
p>
I actually ate it to begin with, so I just kept making the same mistake again and again, and vomited as much as I wanted.
With the mentality of going to the execution ground, Major General Jiang chewed the meat in his mouth carefully and swallowed it slowly. Feeling that the disgust was not strong, he chewed another piece, two pieces, three pieces..., and he ate seven or eight pieces.
A question popped up in his mind, does this really taste like meat?
Observe, the meat is genuine, but why doesn’t it taste like meat?
Full of doubts, Mr. Jiang ate konjac slices. After eating a few slices, he ate them with braised pork. Over and over again, he wiped out most of the braised pork. He also finished the konjac mushrooms. He wiped his mouth with a paper towel. For the first time, he felt satisfied.
feeling.
Didn't vomit? Le Yun watched Jiang Shao eat braised pork, and found that his expression and muscle reactions, apart from some resistance at first, were very normal after that, indicating that his stomach and sense of smell accepted the taste of braised pork.
The fact that he does not vomit meat after eating meat shows that his symptoms of carnivore aversion have initially improved. If he continues to work hard, he can slowly reverse it.
Le Yun grinned and sipped the soup from the bowl. In order to coax Jiang to eat less meat, she worked hard to make a seasoning that had the same taste as the medicinal dumplings she gave him and added it to the braised pork to fool his taste.
, indicating that she is successful.
Mr. Jiang only ate one meat dish, braised pork, and did not touch chicken or twice-cooked pork. Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhou and others were not picky eaters and ate them all. Although twice-cooked pork and chicken were not as good as braised pork, the taste was also very good, at least compared to ordinary hotel dishes.
Worse than that.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Everyone almost finished the vegetables and rice, except Mr. Jiang, who left the chicken and twice-cooked pork untouched.
Although the young masters of the Kowu family are not obviously picky eaters, they are actually very picky. It makes them feel happy when they eat, which proves that the food is really good.
The young master Gu Wu was all satisfied with his meal. Needless to say, the other guests present were also 99% satisfied. The only thing they were not satisfied with was that the portion of konjac was a bit small. It would be perfect if the portion could be doubled or tripled.
La.
Mr. Wu was depressed and only felt satisfied when he ate; Mayor Wang ate the anti-cancer magic dish and understood Secretary Chao’s words. Comparing Chao’s konjac with the konjac in the cafeteria, the konjac dish in the cafeteria was too different.<
/p>
Professor Fu, who was sitting at the same table with Mr. Chao, was already jokingly poaching for recipes for soup and braised pork brine. Mr. Chao said with a straight face: "No comment on this, it is our Xiaolele's exclusive secret recipe."
"Yes, I know this is the case. I'll ask Classmate Le directly one day." Professor Fu grinded his teeth secretly. The young and old of the Chao family often have delicious food, but they don't know how to share it. They are not friends enough.
Mr. Chao had a sly smile hidden in his eyes. Hey, let anyone who wants to ask ask. It would be weird if they could ask.
After a simple lunch, a group of people gathered outside the building to admire the original jade stones. The main purpose of the stone appreciation tea party was to appreciate the stones, so it continued in the afternoon.
The waiters waited for the guests to move outside, quickly cleared the table, re-covered the tablecloth, and put on the tea sets.
There was a female guest among the guests, who was far less enthusiastic about raw jade stones than people in the jade industry. After enjoying the jade stones for a while, they took them into the hall to chat about women's homes.
Mr. Wu secretly paid attention to the expressions of everyone in the Chao family but had no results. When he finally saw the grandson of the He family leaving the crowd, he quietly withdrew from the crowd of enthusiastic stone-viewing guests and followed Young Master Yan to bypass the crowd and go to the bathroom behind the villa.
He quickly walked two steps to a deserted place and walked side by side with Young Master Yan, and asked in a low voice: "Colonel Yan, can you take a step to speak?"
