The reception banquet that Lin Zhu prepared for Dr. Zhang made him very satisfied. Not to mention that all of them were cooked by Lin Zhu himself, and many of the dishes were the first time he ate them. Although they were not exquisite, they were delicious and novel.
.There were also many dishes with chili peppers, which made his meal even more enjoyable. People at the dinner table repeatedly praised Lin Zhu for his ability. Moreover, Lin Zhu actually had fresh dishes such as cucumbers, beans, etc. when it was out of season, especially after seeing
I was even more surprised when I tasted the watermelon chicken.
"Girl Zhu, why are there watermelons at this time?" Old Doctor Zhang couldn't help but asked curiously. "Hehe, godfather, this is my secret, I can't tell you." Lin Zhu said with a playful smile. "
Haha, if you don’t say it, don’t say it.” Old Doctor Zhang laughed, “How about two more watermelon chickens tomorrow?”
"Grandpa, you are too cunning." Lin Zhu pouted and said. "The watermelon chicken made by Sister Zhu is so delicious, I want to try it again." Zhang Manyun also covered his mouth and snickered. Lin
Zhu didn't expect that Zhang Manyun, whose first impression was that of a lady from a wealthy family, would say such a thing. It would be very bad for a lady from a wealthy family to give people the impression of being greedy. Unexpectedly, she didn't care about this at all. Lin Zhu was stunned.
.
"Haha, Sister Zhu, I can't bear to leave." Zhang Manyun gently waved her hand in front of Lin Zhu's eyes. "No way," Lin Zhu shook her head quickly. It would be bad if someone misunderstood her. "It's just Sister Yun.
"As a lady, can you say that?" Lin Zhu joked about her. "Grandpa, I didn't expect Sister Zhu to be a narrow-minded person and actually made fun of me. You have to make the decision for me." Zhang Manyun stood up to Zhang.
The old doctor beside him said with a smile.
"Haha. You sisters, you have to settle your own matters. Grandpa will not interfere." Seeing their happy faces, old doctor Zhang was very satisfied. His granddaughter is really good and knows the general situation well. Looking at the other one, Zhang
The old doctor's eyes darkened, and he sighed slightly in his heart, it seemed that he still needed to be taught.
Lin Zhu and Zhang Manyun were chatting happily, but Zhang Manyun felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She was a little jealous of Lin Zhu, because she and Zhang Manyun had never been so harmonious and happy as now, and Zhang Manyun looked at her too.
The attitude of "You are a child, I am not as knowledgeable as you" made her feel even more uncomfortable, so she compared herself with Maggie Cheung every chance she got.
"Hmph. What's the big deal?" Zhang Manqing complained in her heart. She didn't want to please Lin Zhu, so she followed the old doctor Zhang away from the table without saying a word, and she also stood up.
After the meal, Lin Zhu invited them all to have a rest. They had been on the road for a long time, and it would not be too late to catch up on old times after they had rested. Dr. Zhang was not polite to her either. In addition, he was indeed a little tired due to his age.
. So he sent a message, asking everyone to go to rest first. If you have something to do, we will talk tomorrow.
"Girl, since Dr. Zhang and the others are here, we have to buy more food tomorrow." Chang's mother and Lin Zhu returned to the house and talked while drinking tea.
"Well, I need to buy more. Let Uncle Chang Shi do it tomorrow. I will buy some rice from the village, and I will also buy eggs and other things from the village. If anyone is willing to sell, just buy more. The same goes for chickens and ducks.
There are also vegetables and the like. Relying on all these at home will definitely not be enough. If there is anything else, Chang’s mother will help me think about it." Lin Zhu thought about it and felt that there was still something lacking.
"Of course I have to buy what the girl said. We don't have much food in stock at home, so we have to ask Butler Feng to go to the village to bring some back. And we have to buy more pork and mutton." Of course, Chang's mother agreed.
They are all special white rice, special vegetables, etc.
Yes, to be honest, I really couldn’t bear to let so many people eat it. You must know that it costs five taels of silver per pound. "And we should also prepare some fresh seasonal fruits and some snacks and cakes at home." She did not forget that.
A young lady asked the maid to find something to eat.
Thinking of snacks, Chang's mother told Lin Zhu about her observation of the two Miss Suns of the Zhang family. "Girl, this Miss Yun is not bad. Although she has the style of an official lady, she is also well-mannered and courteous.
.He is also considerate in dealing with others." Chang's mother also told Lin about the two hundred taels of silver notes.
Zhu said. "Haha, this Sister Yun is so polite." Seeing Lin Zhu's heartless smile, Chang's mother sighed and said, "Girl, although she doesn't mean to look down on us, she still must not
Doing something that makes the conversation more intimate. Her purpose here is not as simple as taking care of the old gentleman."
"I know. But for the sake of my godfather, I can't embarrass them too much. Unless it's too much. Mother Chang, you have to be more patient." After all, the identities of Mother Chang and Chang Tianlei are different from hers.
.
"We have nothing to do, but the girl has to pay attention to Miss Manqing. She is not used to it here, and she should be comfortable in Zhang Mansion." Chang's mother told Lin Zhu one by one the conversation with her in Zhang Manqing's room.
, The evaluation of this Miss Qing in her words was not too high. Although Chang's mother tried her best to use some inconspicuous words, Lin Zhu could still hear the meaning of her words. It seemed that this Miss Qing was not an economical person.
"I will pay attention to it. Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
"It's not like I have to work hard. It's just that you, girl, have worked hard in the kitchen today. Aunt Wang and Xiao Qiu are quick hands and know how to advance and retreat. That mother Cai takes herself too seriously." Mother Chang used to do the same.
The majestic and majestic housekeeper, Mama Cai’s little thoughts can’t be hidden in front of her.
Today, Cai's mother said she was helping in the kitchen, but she was always in the kitchen eating a cucumber, or meddling in the kitchen without doing anything, and making irresponsible remarks. Aunt Wang criticized her several times.
, she was unmoved, and in the end Aunt Wang ignored her.
She was stunned. She kept talking about how good the things in the Zhang Mansion were, how complete the items were, and how many delicacies were available. Although Lin Zhu was busy, he could still hear her, and he ignored her at first. She thought
Lin Zhu was shocked by her words.
Later, Lin Zhu couldn't stand listening anymore, so he stepped forward and told her, "Mother Cai, it seems that you are an expert in the kitchen. Please help Xiaoqiu control the heat."
"Of course, when I was working in the kitchen, Xiaoqiu didn't know where she was." Xiaoqiu is two years older than Lin Zhu, and her words also mean to call Lin Zhu Ban. Cai's mother originally looked down on Lin Zhu.
, and deliberately said such words to test her attitude.
"That's great, Xiaoqiu, let Mama Chang help you hold the fire." Lin Zhu said directly to Xiaoqiu, "Then, you have to do this and this." Xiaoqiu's task is to stew chicken with potatoes.
.Actually, it’s nothing. The main thing is to watch it when it’s almost cooked.
Heat, don't just burn the bottom of the pot because the potatoes have too much starch content. Lin Zhu asked Xiao Qiu to look at the pot. If there is less soup in it, stir it with a spoon to avoid sticking to the pot. And let Cai
My mother's so-called experienced fire master means that she is asked to light the fire.
When Mama Cai heard what Lin Zhu said, her face became very ugly. She was a cook who was deeply trusted by the second wife, but when she came here, she lit the fire for a rough girl and slapped her. Lin Zhu's slap was very slap in the face.
Her old face suddenly turned red. She clenched her fingers
, the breath in her chest was uncomfortable. But she didn't dare to make a fuss in the kitchen. She glared at Xiaoqiu bitterly, pouted and went to the stove to light the fire. The kitchen was finally quiet now, and Lin Zhu didn't even look at it.
After looking at her, she turned around and went to work. Aunt Wang and Xiao Qiu were happy secretly.
Zhang Manyun took Xiangqiao back to the house. Xiangqiao prepared water for her and asked her to wash up. "Xiangqiao, where did you eat? How was the food?" During today's meal, Dr. Zhang asked everyone
All the maids and wives have gone down, and they all eat by themselves, instead of having maids serving the dishes at home like they did at home.
"Miss, to tell you the truth, I have eaten too much today." Xiangqiao lowered her head in embarrassment and blushed. It was really embarrassing, but luckily everyone was the same as her and they were all embarrassed together. "Mother Chang arranged for us to live in another place.
We were eating in a dining room. Shu Cui and I were at one table with Chang’s mother, Qian and her son. Aunt Wang and Cai’s mother were at another table. Zhang Guan
The family shared a table with Butler Feng and another with the others. The food was very fragrant, especially the rice, which tasted particularly good. The slave had never eaten such delicious white rice. There was also a dish called potato stewed with chicken nuggets.
It's delicious, but the potatoes are no worse than chicken. They taste soft and have the fragrance of chicken in them. I ate so many of them that I was afraid that Mother Chang would laugh at me."
After hearing Xiangqiao's words, Zhang Manyun sat on the chair thoughtfully. "Miss, what's wrong?" After Xiangqiao finished speaking, Zhang Manyun didn't say a word, so she couldn't help but ask softly. "Huh?" She thought deeply.
I woke up in the middle of the morning and said, "Uh, it's nothing. I also think today's food is very good, especially the dishes with chili peppers. Although my tongue feels a little uncomfortable when I eat it, I still want to eat it." The dishes with chili peppers are very good with rice.
, Zhang Manyun did eat a little too much.
"I heard from Aunt Wang that the chili had a very special taste. When she tried it in the kitchen, she almost couldn't stand it. Miss, are you okay?" Xiangqiao asked with concern, fearing that something was wrong with her and she wouldn't be able to explain it when she got home.
"I'm fine, but my second sister... haha." Zhang Manyun laughed before he finished speaking. It turned out that Zhang Manqing was really not used to the taste of chili peppers. As soon as he took a bite, the tears of chili peppers almost came out. Lin Zhu took a cup of rice.
I gave her some water, which relieved the heat.
Zhang Manyun walked around the room for a while before letting Xiangqiao help her lie down. However, on the first night at Lin Zhu's house, she was a little unable to sleep. It was not because she recognized the bed, but because she was curious about Lin Zhu.
She also ate the white rice for dinner today when she was accompanying Dr. Zhang to eat, but the amount was not large, not like what she had today.
She opened it and ate it. She remembered that the taste was exactly the same as what she ate today. Could it be that the rice in Grandpa's kitchen in Beijing was sent by Lin Zhu? And those dishes, not to mention the freshness of ordinary dishes, were just like picking them.
Chili peppers, peanuts, and potatoes are also just emerging in the capital. How come they are available in a remote and remote area like Linzhu?
