After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 137 Could it be that he is the royal chef invited from the palace?

The only regret is that this cold dish is a bit hard to eat.

Each person finished the meal with just a few chopsticks.

Fortunately, at this time, the server came over with basins and added cold dishes to each table.

The guests immediately praised it highly.

Jiang Zhongyou's dissatisfaction with the hare had long since disappeared, and now he was smiling like Maitreya Buddha.

He constantly accepted praise and compliments from others, even those that praised the chef's cooking skills, which he accepted as compliments to himself.

Liu Dongjin, who was sitting next to Jiang Zhongyou, was also very excited at this time.

In fact, from the perspective of family background, the Liu family is somewhat inferior to the Jiang family, and Liujia Village is not as wealthy as Shuanglin Village.

Jiang Qiuyi was not only beautiful but also good at sewing, so there was an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage to her.

So when people finally found out that the Jiang family had chosen Liu Dongjin, many people outside found it unbelievable and said that he was marrying above his station.

Because of this, his mother called him out last night and told him, "Jinzi, listen to my advice. Tomorrow when you go to your father-in-law's house, no matter if he makes things difficult for you or treats you badly, just be obedient.

"They've given you such a wonderful daughter, so you should be respectful to your parents-in-law. You're not allowed to throw tantrums. Remember?"

Liu Dongjin agreed to his mother verbally, but he was actually a little worried in his heart.

He was not afraid of being harassed or looked down upon by Jiang Zhongyou and Ye Hua. After all, as the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character.

He believed that over time, as long as he was good to his wife and parents-in-law, he would definitely be able to warm their hearts.

But there will definitely be many guests at the return banquet, and he doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of them.

After all, the two villages are not far from each other. Once there is any gossip, it will soon spread to Liujia Village and reach the ears of his parents and relatives. The whole family will be unable to hold their heads up because of him.

So Liu Dongjin didn't sleep well last night, and he has been feeling uneasy since he got up today.

Until the moment he sat next to Jiang Zhongyou, his heart was still hanging in the air.

But now, just halfway through the banquet, his doubts had long since dissipated, and he even felt a little proud.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law must be extremely satisfied with their son-in-law, so the return banquet was held so well!

The six dishes served on the table alone surpassed any banquet he had ever attended.

When the first two dishes were served, he thought that Shuanglin Village was too rich and that the return banquet was of such a scale!

But as he ate, he noticed it from the reactions of the other people at the main table.

Today's specifications are far beyond those of other families in Shuanglin Village.

He wanted to rush home right now to tell his mother that his father-in-law and mother-in-law not only did not look down on him, but instead treated him as a guest of honor and valued him very much!

Mrs. Ye learned from the elder sister who served the dishes that the previous dishes had almost been sold out, and even the cold-mixed rice noodles that no one wanted at the beginning had been eaten up, so she quickly prepared two more dishes and put them on the table.

“Flowers bloom and wealth comes!”

"A harmonious couple!"

Compared with the previous dishes, these two dishes immediately win in terms of appearance.

The "Harmonious Singing of the Phoenix" is the bean curd and meat roll that I made before during the food tasting. The phoenix head carved out of carrots is lifelike, and the bean curd and meat rolls cut into oval shapes are arranged to form the body and tail feathers of the phoenix. It looks so beautiful.

The other dish, "Flowers in Bloom, Fortune in Blossoms," is actually a bowl of chrysanthemum tofu soup. Pieces of tofu cut into chrysanthemum shapes float in the soup bowl, like blooming chrysanthemums.

Not to mention the taste, the knife skills alone are enough to make people praise it.

"Zhongyou, tell me the truth. Where did you hire this chef from? He's not the royal chef from the palace, is he?"

"Oh, you are so bold. I want to invite the imperial chef, but I have to know an imperial chef!" Jiang Zhongyou's tongue was a little big from drinking, but he couldn't suppress the pride in his words.

While these two people were talking, everyone else was quickly picking up their food and eating.

With the previous experience, once the new dishes are served, no one has time to talk, the first thing to do is to eat.

Mrs. Ye added mushrooms to the meat filling of the bean curd meat rolls, and after steaming them, she poured the sauce made with broth on them.

Through steaming, the tofu skin absorbs the flavor of the broth and mushrooms, and you can taste the fragrance of beans when chewing. Several aromas are cleverly intertwined and blended together.

It tastes chewy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you take a bite, the juice splashes everywhere, and your mouth is full of freshness and fragrance. It makes you go straight to the head. For a moment, you can't tell whether the mushroom is fresher, or the meat is more fragrant, or whether the bean fragrance blends them perfectly together.

Another dish, chrysanthemum tofu, is more popular among older people.

The soup in the bowl looks clear, but it is actually the broth that has been brewed since last night. Mrs. Ye started to cook it at home yesterday afternoon, and brought it all the way from home in a small pot today.

Therefore, the soup is particularly delicious and refreshing, without any oil or impurities.

A spoonful of broth enters your mouth and immediately wraps around your tongue softly, allowing you to fully experience its deliciousness.

The tofu in the soup is not the usual braised tofu that we eat. It is tender, so tender that it can be broken with a touch, and melts in your mouth.

But after eating, new problems arose.

This tofu is even more tender and smooth than egg custard. You don’t even need to chew it when you put it in your mouth. It melts on the tip of your tongue with just a sip. How is it cut into a flower?
