Chapter 1715: On-the-spot slapping
As they talked, they smiled and invited all the ladies to taste the food while it was hot. The ladies and ladies found it even more tempting after hearing what they said, and could no longer hold back their chopsticks.
Full of curiosity and anticipation, can't wait to try it——
“Not bad, not bad!”
"What on earth is this shrimp sauce made of? It's sweet and sour, so delicious!"
"This chicken is delicious, the skin is firm and the meat is especially tender and fresh. I have never seen it cooked this way before!"
"This braised pork is both beautiful and delicious, it melts in your mouth and is not greasy at all!"
"And what is this called? Buddha, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? This soup is divine!"
"I think this boiled cabbage is better. It looks simple, but you'll know how delicious it is once you eat it! But it's no wonder, there are so many delicacies in the soup!"
“.…..”
The ladies and young ladies are all connoisseurs of good things. A table of feast like this would cost at least two hundred taels of silver.
Today, Mrs. Shao prepared twelve tables at once, plus dim sum, tea, fruits and snacks, and an opera troupe. The cost of today's banquet was at least three thousand taels.
A banquet cost three thousand taels of silver, which was considered a large-scale and high-end banquet.
On weekdays, when they held banquets, they could organize a very good banquet with one or two hundred taels. If they spent five hundred taels or more, they would be considered very wealthy.
Mrs. Shao's family background is indeed very rich...
Fan Ruyin's face turned pale and blue.
Although no one openly mocked her, everyone kept praising the dishes on the table, and every word they said was like a slap in her face and a laugh at her ignorance.
Especially those two girls, just talk, why do they have to look at her while talking! It's really hateful!
Everyone praised the dishes at the banquet and ate them with great satisfaction and happiness. Only Fan Ruyin found the food tasteless.
Lixia and Liqiu felt so happy at the beginning of summer, as they finally got rid of their anger.
These dishes were carefully prepared by my madam. You don’t know their value and yet you still want to criticize them. You deserve to be slapped in the face!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the prawns in tomato sauce. My wife likes this sour and sweet taste so much that she grew seedlings in the house when she was in the capital. She didn’t bring much other luggage along the way, only a few pots of tomatoes that she took good care of.
After I came here and transplanted them, I thought the soil and water here were suitable, and they actually grew better. The small fruits grew up quickly, and I finally got enough to make ketchup and put it on the banquet today...
This is such a precious thing, I'm sure An Zezhou has never seen it before. The lady from the Fan family knows nothing but dares to speak freely, doesn't she deserve to be embarrassed...
He even dared to secretly mock the mistress and the master for being poor. Humph, the mistress and the master have a lot of money! Her Fan family is considered good, but it may not be comparable to...
After they had eaten their fill and chatted for a while, they went to watch a play together.
Mrs. Guan learned her lesson today and specifically told her parents to take good care of her son and not to run into the garden again. As a result, no accidents happened.
While the ladies were watching and listening to operas, Lixia and Liqiu were also watching them.
There was still a large crowd around the two of them, who continued to ask indirect questions without giving up. The two of them cheered themselves up to deal with it, and madly boasted about the wealth of their master and mistress. Everyone was so depressed when they heard it!
Although this news is quite surprising, not many people are so interested in it and willing to listen to it again and again!
What everyone wants to hear more is what Lord Shao has to say about the seeds, and whether the major families will no longer be able to get any benefits from the government in the future.
