Chapter 638 Even if she starves to death, she won’t eat Shao Mo’s food!
"Momo, you did all this alone? Are you exhausted after doing so much?"
Seeing his daughter's sweaty forehead and red face, Shao Lin was both happy and distressed.
Shao Mo smiled and said: "It's not all my fault, Lingchuan and Uncle Fu are both helping."
"I just helped pass the plates and serve the food. I didn't do anything. The eldest lady and eldest brother-in-law were all busy."
After hearing Wei Fu's words, Shao Lin raised his hand and patted Ling Chuan on the shoulder, with a very pleased expression on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ling."
"Dad, don't say that, I should do it all. And I didn't do much. Every dish on the table is Momo's credit."
Shao Mo smiled and took over, "Okay, let's talk about it. The dishes are getting cold. Dad, you go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. I'll call grandma."
"No need to call, I'll come over on my own after smelling the fragrance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Shao's smiling voice came from the door.
Sister-in-law Hua followed Mrs. Shao and answered with a smile, "My wife and I smelled the fragrance when we were still in Lanju. Madam couldn't wait any longer, so she changed her clothes and came over."
Shao Mo came forward and said, "Grandma, you're here just in time. You can start dinner now."
Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Mrs. Shao nodded happily, "Not bad, A Hua, Momo's skills are as good as yours."
Sister-in-law Hua smiled and said, "Oh, Miss, the cooking skills are much better than mine. My cooking is just more suitable for you and me. The dish made by Miss is as delicate as a work of art. I can't bear to eat it just looking at it."
"
"Dishes are made to be eaten, and the exquisite presentation is just to make eating more enjoyable."
After hearing Shao Mo's words, everyone nodded.
When Shao Lin came back after washing his hands, Shao Mo handed over a snow-white porcelain plate.
Shao Lin, like Xie Linan, thought the plate was for him to eat and said thank you with a smile.
It wasn't until Shao Mo explained that the plate was used to carve suckling pigs that everyone's faces showed curiosity.
Under Shao Mo's guidance, Shao Lin successfully cut open the suckling pig.
Shao Mo introduced to everyone how to eat suckling pig in detail, while Lingchuan cut the suckling pig into five parts of similar size with a knife.
Except for keeping one portion for himself, each of the two courtyards will give a portion of the other items, and the rest will be given to Hua Sao and Wei Fu to eat together with the servants of Lanju and Lanju in the main courtyard.
Dinner in the East Courtyard is always early. When Shao Mo asked people to deliver the roasted suckling pig to the East Courtyard, the East Courtyard happened to be having dinner as well.
Today is the weekend, Shao Yuan has something to do outside, so Mrs. Shao, Shao Yiqian and Shao Ying will have dinner together.
At Shao Ying's age, she is a glutton. When she saw the golden roasted suckling pig, she immediately stretched out her chopsticks to pick it up.
But when she heard that the suckling pig was roasted by Shao Mo, she immediately put her chopsticks back.
Huh, even if she starved to death, she wouldn't eat Shao Mo's food!
Mrs. Shao Er didn't care so much. She conveyed her gratitude through the servant, and then took a piece of roasted suckling pork with skin and tasted it with great interest.
"Click."
The roasted suckling pig skin is shiny and golden in color and is as crispy and delicious as crispy rice.
"Well, not bad."
After hearing what Mrs. Shao Er said, Shao Yiqian also took a piece of roasted suckling pork and agreed while eating it, "It's quite delicious. My eldest sister looks so delicate and doesn't like Yang Chun Shui. I didn't expect that she has such good cooking skills."
Listening to the mother and son praising the roasted suckling pig, and smelling the unique aroma of the roasted suckling pig, Shao Ying swallowed her saliva and spoke disparagingly.
"It's just roasted suckling pig. What's delicious? There are so many restaurants outside. I don't believe she cooks it better than the chef."
Mrs. Shao Er couldn't see her daughter's awkwardness. Considering the overall situation, she didn't want her daughter to get into trouble with Shao Mo and affect her son's future election as heir, so she deliberately said: "You will know after one bite whether it tastes good or not."
."
"I won't eat! I won't eat even if I starve to death."
"Forget it if you don't want to eat. Yi Qian and I will eat."
After that, Mrs. Shao Er picked another piece of roasted suckling pork that was evenly fat and thin, dipped it in a little five-spice pepper and salt, and then wrapped it with shredded green onions and lettuce leaves to eat.
"This way of eating is quite fresh, almost like eating roast duck." Shao Yiqian followed suit and picked up a piece.
"I'm full, you guys eat slowly!" Shao Ying was so angry that she put down her chopsticks and left.
Looking at her daughter's angry back, Mrs. Shao Er shook her head angrily and turned to her son, "Don't worry about her. Eat more."
Shao Yiqian was noncommittal, but he never stopped holding the chopsticks in his hands.
Shao Ying returned to her room. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. At times like this, she would definitely run to the west courtyard to talk to Shao Ya, but Shao Ya went shopping with friends today and would not come back until after dinner.
Shao Ying lay on the bed and sulked while waiting for Shao Ya to come home, and fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up, it was already 8:30. She immediately put on her shoes and went to the west courtyard to find Shao Ya.
As soon as I walked out of the door of the east courtyard, I saw two servants hiding by the wall, discussing something happily.
"The suckling pig roasted by the eldest lady is so delicious. I think it is even more delicious than the roast duck made by Mrs. Hua, especially the suckling pig skin, which is very crispy and as fragrant as crispy rice."
"I envy you so much. When I work in Moyuan, I can often eat delicious food."
"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. The eldest lady is kind-hearted and never forgets to give us a piece of delicious food every time..."
Hearing this, Shao Ying was so angry that she stepped forward and cursed, "If you don't do your job well, you just chat here. Believe it or not, I will deduct your wages!?"
The two servants were startled by Shao Ying, apologized profusely and ran away with their heads lowered.
Looking at the panicked back of the servant, Shao Ying's anger subsided a little.
In the west courtyard, Shao Ya had just returned home and was getting clean clothes to take a bath. She was a little surprised to see Shao Ying.
"Xiaoying, why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"Second sister, I'm in a bad mood."
Seeing Shao Ying's depressed look, Shao Ya probably guessed the reason. Although she didn't eat at home, she knew from her servants that Shao Mo sent someone to bring roasted suckling pig for dinner.
With a family like the Shao family, roasted suckling pig is really not a good dish, but Shao Mo roasted it himself and specially sent it here, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill, and Xiyuan still understands this sentiment.
But Shao Ying and Shao Mo have never dealt with each other, and they certainly don't like Shao Mo's overtures.
"I'm going to take a shower first. Just wait for me and don't rummage through my things."
"knew."
After Shao Ya entered the bathroom, Shao Ying couldn't help but look at Shao Ya's bedroom.
Shao Ya is the eldest daughter of the West Courtyard. Mrs. Shao San and Shao Hong have high hopes for this daughter, so they are never stingy with food. As long as there are any good things on the market, they will be available in Shao Ya's room in a short time.
arrive.
For example, there is a silver-white pager that is slightly larger than a matchbox on Shao Ya's dressing table.
Pagers just became popular this year. Her father just bought one for her brother Shao Yiqian last month. Even though it was a small one, it actually cost more than a thousand yuan.
Shao Ying couldn't help but pick up the pager and start playing with it.
