Chapter 33 Your Cheng family is also the third child with good looks)
As the sky gradually approached dusk, he had been busy all afternoon and finally saw that all the ingredients had been prepared and only some finishing work was left. Cheng Chubi took a deep breath and took off his head.
top hat.
Many of the staff in the kitchen were drooling while busy. The Third Young Master's skill in cooking the whole beef feast and the aroma of the food had completely convinced them.
Including the butler Cheng Fu, this big butler has entered the cooking place many times under the pretext of coming to inspect the production progress of the banquet dishes, and every time he leaves, his mouth is dripping with oil and his face is intoxicated.
This scene made Cheng Chubi's sense of superiority and pride suddenly arise. Now you old people from the Tang Dynasty understand how important an unparalleled culinary genius is, right?
"Third brother...I want to try that too." Cheng Laoliu said as he felt full, he poked his head over and looked at the beef brisket being stewed in the casserole.
Cheng Chubi turned his head and looked at Cheng Laoliu, whose stomach was clearly bulging, and Laosi and Laowu, who were slumping aside and burping, and his face turned dark.
"You're still eating farts. See for yourself how bulging your belly is. Uncle Ji, hurry up and have someone pour a bowl of hawthorn water for each of them and drive them out. You're not afraid of making yourself sick."
Come."
Just when Cheng Chubi gave the order, at the gate of Lu Guogong's Mansion, the neighbors on the street had wisely moved to both sides of the street.
Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Lu, led the way, followed by a group of high-ranking generals of the Tang Dynasty who were laughing and joking.
Seeing this familiar scene, the expressions of the neighbors looked very excited. Well, it seemed that Duke Lu's Mansion was lively again tonight.
Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Li Ji (formerly Xu Shiji, because he was given the surname Li and Li Shimin was taboo, so he changed his surname to Li Ji) Niu Jinda and other familiar famous generals from the Tang Dynasty all arrived one after another.
Compared with other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty who came on horseback, only Qin Qiong, who was tall and strong but looked haggard, arrived in a carriage. The carriage stopped at the door of the mansion, and Qin Qiong's son quickly helped his father carefully.
carriage.
"I'm afraid I haven't been here for a month now. I just wanted to see how your third child is doing today..."
Qin Qiong looked at Duke Lu's mansion, her eyes fell on her eight-year-old son, and said warmly, "I can go as a father."
Although he was only eight years old, Qin Li, who was already very sensible, shook his head and stubbornly held Qin Qiong's arm. "Dad, it's better if I hold you."

Cheng Chubi happened to step out of the house in a hurry at this time. He happened to see this scene and couldn't help but be a little confused. Isn't this the Qin Gate God? Why did he become like this after not seeing him for more than a month?
However, before Cheng Chubi could continue to think about the problem, he was pulled up and staggered by his own father.
"Come on, come on, Third Brother, why don't you come over and meet your uncles?"
Uncle Yuchi and Uncle Qin, who had met before, as well as Niu Jinda, Li Keshi and Li Ji, who had never met before, were also very amiable and cordially expressed condolences to the junior Cheng Chubi.
Li Ji, a handsome Tang Dynasty general, patted Cheng Chubi on the shoulder. Although he smiled, there was a trace of regret in his eyes.
"It'll be fine as soon as the disease is cured. Your old Cheng family is full of rough men, but the third one is the one with the fairest features."
"???" The modest smile on Cheng Chubi's face suddenly froze. How damn beautiful are his features? I call him handsome, right?
However, seeing that this famous general of the Tang Dynasty was not much weaker than his own father, Cheng Chubi felt that it would be better for him to obey the elders and love the younger at this time.
Of course, when the elders came, the younger ones who were familiar with each other were also indispensable. The twin brothers from Uncle Yuchi's family, Uncle Qin's family, and the two uncle Li's families also came.
But what surprised Cheng Chubi the most was that Qin Qiong's son Qin Shandao was actually the same size as Lao Liu.
It seems that the fertility of Qin Qiong, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty... ahem, we still won't comment.
Everyone's tone was very cordial and enthusiastic, but the way they looked at themselves always showed a hint of, how should I put it, like regret and a hint of guilt.
It seems that among these guys there should be the accomplice who convinced Cheng Chubi that day and made him drunk to death for several days.
All the elders were sitting at the top of the hall, and the juniors were all crowded at the bottom. The only juniors in Lao Cheng's family who could serve at the table were the eldest, second, and third.
As for the remaining three brothers, they had eaten until they were full and were currently slumped on the couch, drinking hawthorn water.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the guests who came today with satisfaction and nodded towards the butler Cheng Fu who was standing at the hall door. "Hurry up and let them serve wine and food."
Following the shout from the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, the Cheng family servants who had been waiting for a long time carried the delicacies and the Cheng family's secret Sanle paste into the hall one after another.
"Oh, what does it smell like? It smells so good..." The juniors sitting at the bottom all became energetic and kept twitching their noses and taking deep breaths.
"Third brother, are you taking action yourself again today?" The second brother crooked Cheng Chubi with his elbow and raised his thumb.
"This is the first time I smell such a fragrant beef."
Cheng Chubi smiled implicitly and replied in a low voice. "That's natural. Since dad is going to hold a family dinner, I, as a son, have to help the family no matter what."
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin, who was on the throne, picked up his chopsticks and tapped on the wine glass, then cleared his throat and said loudly.
"You brothers must also know that my third child lost his memory a few days ago and had a minor illness. Now he is finally fine.
I am so happy that I just killed a cow today, so I just want to invite everyone to get together..."
Uncle Qin immediately became happy. "This cow was thrown at the right time, but Qin hasn't tasted beef in some days."
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that the cow was smashed, but you can't stop eating this meat, right?" Master Li also said with a smile.
A group of famous generals from the Tang Dynasty, senior state cadres who are supposed to abide by laws and regulations said something here and there.
Everyone thought that the Cheng family's cow was thrown to death at the right time. Although everyone was very sorry, it would have been a waste if the meat was not eaten.
Looking at this group of hypocritical elders, the young people below were much more direct and frank, slobbering as they looked at the dish that was placed in front of them.
Boiled beef, beef meatball soup, stewed beef brisket, each dish is generous in portion, fragrant and delicious, and of course the cold beef tenderloin is also a must.
As the dishes were served, the fragrant aroma spread out, making the nobles sniff their noses. But before eating the dishes, Cheng Yaojin had already picked up the wine glass in his hand.
"You all know the rules, please do it first as a courtesy to Mr. Cheng..." Bang, bang, bang, three cups.
The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, who had gone through life and death and killed many people without changing their expressions, couldn't help but twitch their eyelids when they looked at the Cheng Mansion's secret Sanlejiang in front of them.
But after all, they are all pure men with extraordinary courage. As soon as the Cheng family's secret Sanlejiang was taken into the mouth, all the big guys winked at it for a long time before letting out a sigh of relief as if they had survived the disaster.
Eat big chunks of meat, drink from big bowls, and enjoy yourself as much as you want. The Cheng family banquet, which is famous in the honorable circles of Chang'an, was once again held grandly.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a hoarse chirping of birds coming from outside the hall. Master Li, who had just picked up a cup of Chengfu's secret Sanlejiang, quickly put down his wine glass and ran directly to the hall door with a few lunges.
Looking outside.
"Where's your bow, Lao Cheng? Hurry, there's a fat crow."
"???"
