Chapter 1714: Mockery
For example, tell everyone that your master is sincere in wanting to be an official here and do a good job as a local official, so it is definitely impossible for him to leave in a short period of time.
For example, he told everyone that his master and mistress were both upright, honest, gentle, and kind people who kept their promises. Being a servant in the Shao family was a blessing that others could not even ask for...
The maids and nannies were so depressed after hearing what you said: Who wants to listen to you?
Soon, it was time for dinner. Lixia and Liqiu hurriedly informed Mrs. Guan and invited all the ladies to take their seats.
Mrs. Guan was eager to invite them to dinner and then listen to a play, so she smiled and agreed, leading everyone to the flower hall where the banquet was set.
Being surrounded by these people asking all kinds of questions, she had to be very alert to deal with them for half a day, and she was extremely tired!
Everyone sat down and Mrs. Guan greeted them one by one. Lixia and Liqiu quickly ordered the dishes to be served.
The dishes for this banquet were all prepared by Qiao Xuan, and Mrs. Guan didn't know about it.
She didn't see it until the dish was served.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
This dish can definitely not be described as rich and high-end.
Look what this is? There is cabbage cooked in a clear soup, and there is also boiled tofu. There is also a sealed coarse pottery jar more than half a foot high, as big as a large bowl. I don’t know what is inside.
The others are more normal, but they seem more refined and tempting than the common ones.
For example, the Dongpo pork looked particularly bright red and beautiful; and the prawns, whether crispy or braised, were familiar to everyone, but the prawns on the table were covered with a red sauce made of unknown substance, which smelled sour and sweet, which immediately stimulated people's taste buds and made them salivate.
There was also chicken, neatly arranged on the plate, the skin was golden yellow and looked very firm, and the chicken seemed particularly tender...
Qiao Xuan ran fast and Fan Ruyin failed to find trouble with her. Now that she saw these dishes, when else could she not make fun of her?
"…Mrs. Shao and Lord Shao may have used their money to fill the deficit of the state government. The dishes prepared for today's banquet are very simple and real!"
After Fan Ruyin's joke, many ladies who had a good relationship with the Fan family couldn't help laughing, and they all understood each other tacitly.
Madam Guan was hoping that someone would ridicule and mock Qiao Xuan, so she would not speak for her. Instead, she laughed and added fuel to the fire: "Madam Bai, please stop saying that. Madam Shao is sincerely inviting everyone to be her guest! It's rare to have such a thoughtful attitude!"
Fan Ruyin sneered with disdain, her eyes scornful, and she said with a half-smile: "This is a wonderful expression of affection. It can be used as a shield at any time, and it can make others speechless. Don't you think it's wonderful?"
Mrs. Guan laughed out loud, "Mrs. Bai is really good at joking, haha!"
Lixia and Liqiu happened to come over at this time. Lixia smiled and said, "Madam Bai, all the ladies, you may not know that these dishes were specially ordered by our Madam to be made by the kitchen. Some of them were even prepared two days ago. I think they are different from the local dishes. No wonder Madam Bai didn't know! I will explain it to the ladies and ladies, and they will understand it naturally."
The two began to explain each dish one by one, from the ingredients, the cooking process, to the quality and characteristics of the dishes, boiled cabbage, fish soup tofu, braised pork, ketchup prawns, Buddha jumps over the wall, salt-baked chicken...
Sisters, please vote! If you don’t have a monthly ticket, it would be nice to give 11 a recommendation vote!
