Chapter 149 Moving into a New House

The waiter knocked on the door and walked into the private room. He carried a tray, placed the items on the table one by one, and then left.

Mo Zhishan looked at the soup bowl in front of Wei Yu and said, "Shaoze, you've come here so many times, don't you want to try some other porridge?"

Yipinlou obviously has other porridges. The ones he knows about include century egg and lean meat porridge, roast bone porridge and shredded chicken porridge.

But Wei Yu was so stubborn that he seemed to have decided on soy milk and yam porridge for his whole life and refused to try other flavors.

Wei Yu stirred the milky yam porridge with a spoon: "Mr. Mo, you know me. Too many choices are just trouble for me."

Not only food, but for most things, he would only stick to one thing.

It's nothing, it's just my personality.

Mo Zhishan also knew Wei Yu's temper, so he did not continue to persuade him, but just started eating shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns.

"Oh, right." Mo Zhishan seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up at Wei Yu.

"The residence of Lady Yinghua has been completed. You should have received an invitation as well."

Wei Yu nodded: "Yes, I also received an invitation."

Mo Zhishan: "Then will you attend?"

It is said that the imperially bestowed mansion on Princess Yinghua does not occupy a large area, but the scenery inside is extremely beautiful.

Every building, rockery and garden in the house is designed by a master.

Even the plaque on the door was written by His Majesty himself.

That day, I happened to pass by the Mansion of Lady Yinghua County. The door plaque bestowed by His Majesty himself was hanging high outside the mansion. It had a red background and golden characters, and it looked majestic and noble.

The two stone lions at the door are also extremely exquisitely carved and lifelike, as if they would come to life in the next second.

Just by looking at the outside, you can imagine how exquisite and beautiful the house is.

In fact, Mo Zhishan was just asking casually. Anyway, he would go to the banquet regardless of whether Wei Yu went or not.

Even if it wasn't for the house, just based on County Lady Yinghua's cooking skills... No, based on her friendship with Old Man Zhou, she would have to go and congratulate him.

Wei Yu took a mouthful of yam porridge and smiled happily.

"Of course, I will be there on time that day."

Wei Yu received invitations every time the Shen Mansion held a banquet, but he always missed it for various reasons.

The first few times were okay, as to him it was just a meal. He didn’t like that kind of occasion anyway, so if he missed it, he missed it.

But this time, he wanted to meet the Lady Yinghua.

…

The County Lord's Mansion has been completed, but Shen Huazheng has no plans to move there. She still prefers to live in the Shen Mansion.

It feels like home here.

But no matter whether you live there or not, you should still celebrate the new house.

With such a big house, we really need to invite more people to warm up the house.

Good to gain some popularity.

On the day of the banquet, the guests set out early and arrived at the county princess's mansion.

The banquet was not held in the flower hall, but in the yard where a circle of tables were set up. Everyone sat around it in a circle. There were several large fires in the middle, and racks were set up for grilling meat.

The maids and servants had already laid out all kinds of fine wines, drinks, fruits and cakes.

The theme of this banquet was roasted whole lamb - a whole lamb was placed on a rack and roasted continuously over the fire.

Princess Lejia, Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying sat together, drinking fruit wine and staring at the barbecue.

The roasted whole lamb was golden and shiny, and some parts were already burnt and crispy. The sizzling oil kept dripping down, causing the flames below to jump up from time to time.

Everyone stretched their necks, drooling, and felt like the gluttony in their stomachs was about to rise to their throats.

When the wind blew, the fragrance blew straight towards them.

Princess Lejia couldn't help but said, "Zhengzheng, when can we eat this roasted whole lamb?"

Chen Huazheng stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into her hand and said, "It's almost time. Eat some cakes to fill your stomach first."

Princess Lejia bit the mung bean cake, her eyes fixed on the mutton that was constantly turning over the fire.

Xiao Jingran also sniffed hard, "It smells so good, when can I eat it?"

Princess An took a piece of chestnut crisp and handed it to her son. "Ran'er, eat this first. Don't you like chestnut crisp the most?"

Xiao Jingran took the chestnut crisp obediently and started eating it in small bites.

Princess An didn't show it on her face, but she was actually extremely greedy.

It smells so good!! She can’t help it.

Can the lamb be roasted faster?

Prince An sat quietly for a rare moment, not jumping up and down for food.

He was struck by the texture of an appetizer, fried mint.

Fried mint is made by coating fresh mint leaves in flour and then frying them in oil until they become golden and crispy.

Take a bite, it's crispy, crunchy but not greasy, with a unique mint fresh taste.

Prince An chewed the fried mint carefully, and the fresh fragrance of the mint immediately spread in his mouth.

It is refreshing and suitable as a pre-meal snack.

Prince An swallowed the mint leaves in his mouth and stared at the barbecue with satisfaction.

He knew that this time Princess Yinghua would definitely come up with some new tricks.

It's a pity that my brother will miss such delicious food and such a feast again~~

Hahaha! !

Seeing that it was almost done, the chef in charge of the barbecue took down the whole lamb and began to cut the lamb, which was roasted golden and crispy, into pieces.

The chef had great knife skills. He held a boning knife and cut the whole lamb into pieces with ease. The dishes were placed on plates and served to everyone at the table by the maids.

In order to ensure that the guests enjoyed their meal, the maids brought water with fresh flower petals floating in it to help the guests wash their hands.

Each person was also given a small knife so that they could cut the meat from the sheep bones to eat.

In this way, you can eat cleanly and avoid indecent eating habits.

Everyone was very satisfied with this arrangement. It is indeed impossible to eat the whole roasted lamb with chopsticks, so it is more convenient to use a knife.

They washed their hands and started cutting the mutton with knives.

The mutton skin is golden brown and crispy, while the meat inside is extremely tender.

I don’t know what kind of processing was done on it, but it doesn’t taste like mutton at all.

The gravy is rich and fat and lean. When you take a bite, the deliciousness of the mutton and the fragrance of the spices blend in your mouth.

Chew gently, and the fresh flavor of mutton will flow into your mouth along with the juice, leaving a rich aroma that fills your nose and lingers on your teeth and cheeks.

The taste was so good that everyone wanted to swallow their tongues whole.

Shen Keting took a knife, cut the mutton neatly and put it into his mouth.

After a long period of baking, the fat in the fat has been fully baked out and it is not greasy at all.

The lean meat absorbs the fat from the fat, making it lean but not dry.

Take a bite, and the crispy outer skin is gently bitten open by the teeth, followed by the tender and juicy lamb and rich aroma, accompanied by seasonings such as cumin and sesame...all kinds of tastes hit the taste buds.

A spontaneous feeling of satisfaction instantly filled my heart, and I felt like I was singing softly in the clouds.

The taste is really wonderful.

Jiang Cheng, who was standing by, was holding a whole sheep bone and chewing it until his mouth was full of oil.

Some people couldn't bear to watch it and quietly reminded him to pay attention to his image.

What is an image? Can it be eaten?

The mutton still smells good.

Hehehe~~~
