Chapter Three Hundred and Eight: A Visit to the Lin Mansion IV
To be honest, the meals Lin Zhu cooked were all home-cooked dishes from his previous life, and the ingredients used were all top-grade. They were delicious, but the presentation was not very good-looking, at least it was far from the standards of nobles.
Very far away.
Therefore, no one was very interested in the meals that Lin Yuewei brought to Mr. Lin and others.
But Mr. Lin, because it was made by Lin Zhu himself, even if it tastes bad, he will still taste it.
The first thing he tasted was watermelon chicken. Under the puzzled eyes of the family, he picked up a piece of soft cooked chicken and put it in his mouth.
It was unexpectedly delicious. There was no way this dish had anything to do with watermelon. Mr. Lin thought it was just a name. Unexpectedly, the chicken did have the sweet taste of watermelon in his mouth. He couldn't help but feel...
Wei Wei is surprised where the watermelon comes from during this season?
The second dish is also served in a large bowl, with red meat chunks, yellow lumps, and red soup. The steaming heat spreads the aroma of the food into everyone's taste buds.
.It’s the potato and beef stew made by Lin Zhu.
Mr. Lin first tasted a piece of potato. The potato was so soft and glutinous that you almost didn't need to chew it, and the stew was already very tasty. You could taste the aroma of meat in the potato. Then he ate a piece of beef.
"Huh," the beef was a little hot, and Mr. Lin exhaled with some discomfort. "Not bad." He put down his chopsticks with a smile, took another sip of the wine brought by Lin Zhu, and stroked his beard with satisfaction.
"Madam, please try these two dishes, too." Mr. Lin motioned to his servants and handed them to Mrs. Lin.
"Well, it's really well made. It's soft and fragrant." Mrs. Lin couldn't help but admire it after eating it. "It's potatoes and beef. I didn't expect that these two things taste really good when put together."
Ever since potatoes were spread, powerful people like the Lin family naturally ate them on the dining table. And there are very few vegetables that can be eaten in winter, so potatoes can be stored for the winter, which makes them particularly precious during this season.
Potatoes are usually made more diversified in restaurants. They are just hot and sour shredded potatoes or stir-fried with meat. Sometimes they are stewed, but they are always stewed with pork.
This was the first time Lin Zhu had eaten potato stew and beef, so they found it very novel.
"Miss Lin Zhu is really ingenious." Because when winter comes, people eat a lot of fish and meat. Because Mrs. Lin is old, she doesn't like to eat greasy food, but these dishes made by Lin Zhu also contain meat.
, but most of them are cooked together with things that can relieve greasiness. So it suits her taste very well.
In addition to these two dishes, there are also stir-fried mushrooms, spicy and sour shredded potatoes and a fish head and tofu soup. Finally, there is a plate of beef pie, a total of four pieces, cut into sixteen small pieces, neatly
Place on a plate.
Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin happily tasted every dish. They felt very satisfied. They had smiles on their faces until they finished the meal.
Just because the two of them are happy does not mean that others feel the same way. Although the two elders have tasted it, they also recommend that everyone eat it together. But some people can enjoy the food, while some people are like chewing wax and do not know the taste.
Lin Zhu once again stole the show in the Lin family.
"Sister, it's so delicious." Lin Yuewei was holding up a small piece of beef patty, his mouth was oily, and he said happily to Lin Zhu.
"You can eat as long as you like, but you can't overeat." Lin Zhu smiled and wiped his mouth, then continued, "If you like to eat, sister will tell the people below how to make it, and then you want to eat
Yes. Just let them do it for you."
"Thank you, sister." Lin Yuewei's eyes lit up after hearing this. He was worried that he would not be able to eat anymore after his sister left, and he wanted to eat more. To be honest, he had already been unable to eat.
"Here, have a drink of soup." Seeing that Lin Yuewei was almost done eating, Lin Zhu poured a small bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.
Just like Fu Dou'er, Lin Zhu would not feed him with a spoon. Even the servants around him wanted to come over to feed him, but Lin Zhu refused. He is already six years old and should be able to eat by himself.
.
Under the anxious eyes of the servants, Lin Yuewei ate very happily alone, which also made them put their hearts in their stomachs.
Lin Zhu made a lot of red bean cakes at home, because these things can be stored for a longer time, so Lin Zhu asked people to put them away, and when Lin Yuewei wanted to eat them, he would take them out and heat them up before eating them.
"Sister, you are so awesome." After Lin Yuewei took a rest after eating and drinking, he was pulled by Lin Zhu to walk slowly in the yard.
He ate a bit too much and his belly was too bloated. He wanted to let him take a nap, but Lin Zhu was afraid that he would eat too much and accumulate food, so he had to let him eat first and then rest.
"Does being able to cook delicious food mean you are great?" Lin Zhu asked with a smile, and pulled his cloak again.
"Yeah." Lin Yuewei nodded.
"Haha." Lin Zhu tapped his nose gently. Children are so easily satisfied. As long as they eat some delicious food, they will be happy all day long.
"Didn't my sister say that she has a younger brother? Why didn't she bring him?" Lin Yuewei asked curiously. He learned about the existence of Fu Dou'er through correspondence with Lin Zhu.
"Fu Dou'er is too naughty, I let him play at home." In fact, Lin Zhu did not dare to bring Fu Dou'er to a family like theirs. Coupled with Lin Qingyue's relationship, Fu Dou'er could not be allowed to show up in front of the Lin family.
.
"I really want to see him." Lin Yuewei raised his head and looked at Lin Zhu with shining eyes.
"Then let's meet again when we have the opportunity." Lin Zhu said with a smile. The meeting does not have to be at the Lin family. She can also invite Lin Yuewei to her home. As long as the Lin family can agree.
"Okay." When Lin Yuewei heard this, he laughed. My sister's younger brother must be as good as her sister, unlike his sisters and brothers who only rob each other. Lin Yuewei, a brat, thought to himself.
Lin Yuewei told Lin Zhu some jokes from his teacher's lectures. Lin Zhu also told Lin Yuewei some interesting things about the farmland. The two of them talked and laughed very happily.
However, this joy was soon broken.
"Xiao Qi, what are you talking about? I'm so happy, let my sisters listen." Lin Qingxue's voice came from the entrance of the courtyard.
Lin Zhu and Lin Yuewei were interrupted by the sound, and both looked in the direction of the sound.
In addition to Lin Qingxue, there are also Lin Qinglan, Lin Qingping and several young ladies from the Lin family who have never been seen by Lin Zhu.
"I've met a few ladies." Lin Zhu greeted them first.
"Hello second sister, third sister, fourth sister..." Lin Yuewei also said hello to several sisters.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Lin Zhu." Lin Qinglan was the first to say with a smile, "Xiao Qi is very active, thank you for taking care of him." She spoke very politely, but she did not mean to look down on Lin Zhu.
"Second Miss, you're welcome." Lin Zhu also nodded to her. People greeted her kindly, so naturally she didn't like to be cold-faced to others. Although she didn't want to deal with the ladies of the Lin family. However, the second Miss Lin, Lin Qinglan, gave Lin
Bamboo left a very good impression.
"Huh, what's there to be thankful for? It's a great blessing for her to be able to come into the Lin Mansion." Lin Qingxue's discordant voice came again.
Lin Zhu frowned slightly after hearing this, but because she was in the Lin Mansion, she felt it was necessary to save some face for her master's family, so she didn't say anything. She just stopped Lin Yuewei, who was angry at Lin Qingxue's words, and smiled apologetically at Lin Qinglan, "
Second Miss, I'm sorry, it's time for Yueyue to rest, I'll send him to the room first."
Yue Yue? Lin Er Xiaoqing immediately realized who Lin Zhu was talking about, but she curiously glanced at Lin Yuewei who did not object to the title, and was even more surprised that he liked Lin Zhu so much.
The person who hated others calling him random names actually acquiesced to the nickname Lin Zhu gave him.
"Okay, it's time for Xiao Qi to take a nap." Lin Qinglan nodded. She glanced at Lin Qingxue, who was still talking, and glared at her with displeasure.
Lin Zhu ignored Lin Qingxue and took Lin Yuewei back to the house.
"Second sister, look at her, she is so arrogant. Doesn't she know where this is?" Lin Qingxue pointed in the direction Lin Zhu left and said angrily.
"That's right, this is the Lin Mansion. Although her surname is Lin, she has nothing to do with us. She actually dares to ignore the fourth sister. She is so arrogant." Lin Qingping knew that Lin Qingxue was arrogant and said deliberately.
"Stop talking." Lin Qinglan was originally unwilling to follow her, but they insisted on dragging her along. They said they wanted to meet Lin Zhu.
Lin Qinglan received some advice from her mother and the behavior of her grandparents at the dinner table today. She, who had no objection to Lin Zhu at first, began to appreciate Lin Zhu a little.
Not only is this little girl good at craftsmanship, but she also has a kind heart and is so kind to Lin Yuewei. To be honest, she actually didn't have to come.
Even if Lin Yuewei invites her, she can find a reason to refuse. After all, people don't want to go to a place where they don't like themselves. If it were herself, Lin Qinglan would definitely not come here to ask for it.
Bitter.
And Lin Zhu, not only came, but she also had a bearing that was not inferior to that of other ladies. She was even recognized by her grandparents. This really made her envious.
Lin Qinglan looked at the third and fourth sisters standing beside her, and thought to herself that these two were probably very jealous of her.
If it weren't for the fear that rushing into Lin Yuewei's room would offend their status as the ladies of the Lin family, Lin Qingxue would have called Lin Zhu out of the room long ago. However, the wait for a cup of tea had already made her a little angry.
"Who does she think she is? How dare she keep us waiting for so long." Lin Qingxue said bitterly.
"People who are praised by my grandfather are naturally a bit hot-tempered." Lin Qingping always secretly provoked Lin Qingxue's anger.
As expected, Lin Qingxue's face turned a little dark after listening to her words.
"Xiao Qi wants to take a nap, so he will naturally stay longer. Besides, it's not long enough for a cup of tea." Lin Qinglan was afraid that the two of them would go too far, so Lin Qinglan spoke fairly. (To be continued. If
