Chapter 63: Better than the others
Shopkeeper Wu even had the mood to nod towards Zhang He in a friendly manner.
There is nothing wrong with this appearance.
"Wu's Embroidery Workshop is still better in this competition, but don't be discouraged, Manager Zhang. Wu's Embroidery Workshop has a history of almost a hundred years in Qizhou County. In time, your Zhang's Embroidery Workshop may also be able to reach this level." Mrs. Wang comforted her, but these words sounded full of irony in Zhang He's ears.
Mrs. Wang seemed to be comforting herself, but she was actually expressing that their Zhang Embroidery Workshop could not compare with the Wu family!
Even though she felt extremely unwilling, Zhang He could only swallow her anger. She couldn't and had no way of continuing to make changes at the banquet.
After returning, she must ask Wen Lang what exactly happened and why there is no problem with the Hundred Longevity Picture in Manager Wu's hand!
After Shopkeeper Wu returned to his seat, Fang Shangwen came up and began to question, "Madam, is there anything wrong with this... this Hundred Years of Longevity painting?"
He had someone switch the embroidery, so why is there nothing wrong with the embroidery?
"Problem? Is there any problem with this Hundred Longevity Picture?" Shopkeeper Wu looked at Fang Shangwen with interest.
"No...no." Being looked at like this by her, Fang Shangwen felt extremely guilty. He did not dare to meet the eyes of Shopkeeper Wu, and quickly looked away.
I felt inexplicably panicked. Could it be that Manager Wu had noticed something?
"Husband, what's wrong with you? You look so unhappy. This cake is good, try it." Shopkeeper Wu placed a piece of mung bean cake in front of Fang Shangwen with a concerned look in his eyes.
Shopkeeper Wu's caring look immediately dispelled Fang Shangwen's doubts. How could it be possible?
I have always been secretive and have never been exposed for so many years. I must have been overly suspicious.
After watching the excitement, it was almost time, so Mrs. Wang ordered the kitchen to serve the food.
Soon, the maids came up with dishes and placed them on everyone's table in turn.
Old Lady Wang immediately noticed the bowl of milky white soup in the middle. It was a food she had never seen before. In addition to tofu, there seemed to be some meat in it. The fresh and fragrant smell went straight into her mouth and nose.
It wasn't just this dish, there were several other dishes on the table that looked so good that she had never seen them before.
When Mrs. Wang saw these dishes, she was also a little surprised. Could it be that these were all new dishes developed by Chef Zhang? In any case, the appearance was a success.
Seeing that the old lady was interested in the soup in the middle, she filled a bowl and placed it in front of her.
Old Lady Wang scooped a spoonful of soup into her mouth. It had a rich milky aroma. She quickly finished the entire bowl in front of her, but she still felt unsatisfied.
"What kind of meat is in this?" The old lady was quite knowledgeable. She had eaten many delicious and rare things, but she really couldn't tell what kind of meat was in the soup.
Pork, duck, etc. are not like this. It seems that there is no other meat that can be made to have such a delicate texture and melt in the mouth.
The little maidservant who was waiting on the side said, "Madam, this dish is called fish fillet tofu soup, and it contains fish."
"Fish?" Old Lady Wang was very surprised. She had never eaten this kind of fish before, but she knew that fish had an earthy smell and many bones.
But the fish and tofu soup she had just drunk was fresh, fragrant, and tender! It was completely different from what they imagined fish to be!
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyebrows furrowed and she scolded, "Fish? How can you use fish?"
Chef Zhang is so ignorant of etiquette. The Wang family is rich and powerful, and they have all kinds of good things. But he actually made fish into soup and served it on the table. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Wang family?
There were many guests present. If they knew that this was fish, they would probably laugh at them behind their backs. She wanted the maid to take the fish away to avoid bringing shame to the Wang family.
But I heard the old lady say "good" several times in a row.
Mrs. Wang was puzzled. What was so good about the fish on the table?
"Sanniang, the chef who prepared this banquet is amazing. You must reward him well!" After giving the order, Old Lady Wang moved her chopsticks towards the boiled chicken again.
Under the golden chicken skin was firm meat. When she bit into it, the skin peeled away, and the juices ooze out. The chicken meat, mixed with the salty aroma of scallion oil, was incredibly fragrant. Next, Madam Wang's chopsticks reached for the sweet and sour pork tenderloin and the barbecued pork...
After eating too much meat, Mrs. Wang had a bowl of fish fillet and tofu soup to relieve the greasiness. After the meal, even though her stomach was full, she was reluctant to stop. Only after Mrs. Wang’s repeated persuasion did she stop eating.
It wasn't just Madam Wang. Everyone at the other tables did the same. After finishing the delicacies on their plates, they patted their stomachs, feeling very satisfied.
Which chef did the Wang family hire to prepare the banquet? Why is the banquet so delicious and novel? They will ask Mrs. Wang about it later, and then they will follow the same standards when they prepare the banquet at home.
When guests are well fed, happy and satisfied, the host will naturally be proud of himself.
Just when everyone was still hungry but full, the maids brought each person a bowl of brown sugar jelly as a dessert.
This brown sugar jelly contains not only brown sugar, but Ji Zhisui also sprinkled a lot of things on it, including melon seeds, cooked sesame seeds, raisins, peach pieces, lychee pieces and other fruits.
Because a lot of small ingredients were added, the originally ordinary brown sugar ice jelly took on color, which greatly increased people's appetite, not to mention that the bowl of ice jelly in front of you is also cool, as if it can eliminate the heat in your body.
As expected, everyone ate up all the desserts that were served after the meal. Many people were tempted to think how happy it would be to eat this bowl of cold ice jelly in the hot summer.
Mrs. Wang instantly fell in love with this fresh food called ice jelly, which had a crispy and icy texture.
Delicious food brings joy to people. She praised her eldest daughter-in-law highly, "Sanniang, you organized this birthday banquet very well. I am relieved to be able to entrust all the affairs of the Wang family to you."
Mrs. Wang hadn't expected to have such a pleasant surprise. Part of the Wang family's management power was still in the hands of the old lady. Now these words meant that she was to take full responsibility. She smiled happily, stepped forward, took the old lady's arm and said affectionately: "Mother, what are you talking about? These are all my responsibilities."
Mrs. Wang Er looked at her sister-in-law's grin and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Her mother was really partial. She gave all the housekeeping power to her sister-in-law, and she didn't get any benefits at all. She had obviously prepared a lot of rare things!
She turned around and looked at her useless husband. It was all because of him. He was useless and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. As a result, she couldn't even get the power of a housekeeper.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Madam Wang Er reached out and twisted Master Wang Er's waist and abdomen again.
