Chapter 410 What should it be called?
Yun Ran placed the dish steadily in the center of the table where the Yun family, Rong Bing, Rong He and others were sitting, then took the handkerchief handed to him by Yun Hua and wiped his hands.
He smiled and said, "Grandma is right, this dish is called Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!"
"In the middle is a wild pheasant grilled over charcoal. I cleaned the pheasant and marinated it specially. I also coated the outside with a layer of sweet honey, which makes it taste even better when grilled."
"Then...what are these little birds outside made of?" Rong Bing also asked.
Yun Ran replied, "Grandfather, this is made with mashed pork. After seasoning, it's steamed. It has a delicate and chewy texture. You'll know when you try it later!"
"Well, Ranran's craftsmanship is naturally impeccable." Rong Bing stroked the small mustache on his chin, with no concealment of the admiration and satisfaction on his face.
"Great!" Zhao Zhilan cheered happily, "Now that most people are here, let's eat!"
She said it was time to eat, and everyone who came to the table started to pick up their chopsticks, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
There are ten dishes and one soup on each table. The Yun family’s feast is quite grand.
There were Dongpo pork, stewed beef tendon, braised lion's head, stewed pork elbow, and cabbage and tofu. All the soft and hard dishes were served together. Yun Ran used some tricks for the last seafood dish.
Some peeled shrimps are put into the pigeon winter melon, and the taste is so delicious.
Everyone ate until they were full, and at the dinner table, Rong Bing and Zhao Zhilan couldn't stop talking about their two children.
Yunyue was not as shy as other girls. After dinner, she took Ronghe out to relax.
Yun Ran sat at the gate, and Gu Wang rubbed the back of her hand with his furry wolf head.
"Tell me, what does the Peach Blossom Spring on Tiger Tooth Mountain look like now?"
She looked towards the direction of Tiger Tooth Mountain behind the village and murmured.
She hasn't been to Huya Mountain for seven years since she left Ping'an Town.
"My king, do you want to go and take a look?" She looked down at the snow wolf that rested its head on her legs.
The lonely king whimpered softly twice, looking in the direction of Tiger Tooth Mountain, and his sharp wolf eyes were also filled with some nostalgia.
Yun Ran raised his eyes and smiled: "Then let's go back and take a look!"
After she finished speaking, she looked back at the yard. Zhao Zhilan and the others were still eating and chatting. Her two uncles and her father took her eldest and second brothers to drink together. Her two aunts and mother were chatting about family matters with a smile on their faces.
Well, this is the best time to run.
So she immediately got up and took the king to Tiger Tooth Mountain.
It was summer at that time, the mountains were covered with lush trees and birds were chirping. She did not feel lonely walking alone on the rugged mountain road.
It was a familiar route. I was so excited that my tongue was hanging out as I dived forward.
The misty bamboo forest formation had been broken long ago, and the man and the wolf quickly reached the top of the mountain.
There was naturally no Peach Blossom Spring on the top of the mountain. There was only a big tree with withered leaves, no peach forest, no bamboo house, and no small stone table or bench in the courtyard. It was as if the place she came to every day when she was a child was just a dream.
"This is... a little cleaner, right? There's not even a trace left?" Yun Ran was a little puzzled.
The lonely king also ran wildly on the top of the mountain like her, sniffing here and there, but after all the trouble, he found nothing.
With his tail drooping in frustration and his head lowered, he rubbed against Yun Ran, making a low "woooo" sound from his mouth.
"Forget it, it's gone, so let it be. We can rebuild it later." Yun Ran touched the lonely king's head, as if to comfort him, "Let's go, go back. If you stay for too long, your family will be worried."
The lonely king seemed to understand, and ran ahead to show her the way. The man and the wolf walked briskly down the mountain and returned to Feishui Village.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't sad. That was the place that held her happiness and beautiful childhood memories, and now she could never find it again.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Yun Ran bumped into Yun Yue who was running out happily.
"Yun Ran! Where have you been with me? My third sister, second brother and I have been looking for you for ages!"
Yun Ran pursed her lips and said, "I'm a little full, so I'll take you for a walk in the village."
"Oh, then come quickly and help me pack my things!" Yun Yue didn't think about anything else, and excitedly pulled Yun Ran upstairs to her room.
"The engagement banquet is over, and we should be returning to Beijing tomorrow!"
"We?" Yun Ran didn't react for a moment.
Yun Yue said, "Yes, this time Grandpa Rong is not only here to hold an engagement party for He Er and me, but he's also here to pick me up and take me to the capital."
"I was admitted to Huixiang Academy. The capital is so far away. How could grandma and my parents let me go out alone?"
"So, you and Brother Rong are engaged, and you're his wife-to-be!" Yun Ran understood immediately, and her eyes widened. "Then you can live in the Rong family with a clear conscience, and it will be more convenient for you to go to Huixiang Academy!"
"Yes!" Yun Yue curled her lips and smiled, "Hehe, now I'm much closer to you and Third Sister. I can often come to visit you and play, and I can also often see Big Brother, Second Brother, and Chengxi!"
But Yun Ran was still thinking about another thing. Rong He was her cousin. Now that her fourth sister and Rong He were engaged, wouldn't that mean...
"Fourth...Fourth sister," Yun Ran looked at Yun Yue who was standing in front of him with an excited look on her face, and couldn't help swallowing.
"Now that you're engaged to Brother Rong, you'll become my cousin's wife..."
Yunyue: ...
Her smiling face froze for a moment, and then she burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha!"
"Ranran, this is great! I will be your sister-in-law from now on!"
"Come on, Ranran, call me sister-in-law!"
Yun Ran: ...
Her little face flushed red, Yun Ran bit her lip and turned away. She couldn't call her sister-in-law!
Looking at her figure leaving as if she had died a heroic death, Yunyue burst into laughter.
Oh, that’s right. If Yun Ran hadn’t mentioned it just now, she really wouldn’t have thought of it.
If I get engaged to He Er, my generation status will be raised!
Yun Ran came out of Yun Yue's room, and her pair of small feet wearing embroidered brocade shoes moved quickly.
Then, he ran into two little kids who were about to run upstairs.
"Chengshou, Chengxi?"
The two little dumplings stopped and said in unison: "Fifth Sister!"
"Well, where are you two going?" Yun Ran asked.
Before Yun Chengshou could speak, Yun Chengxi rushed to answer: "Sister, let's go play with my sister-in-law!"
Yun Ran was so confused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She reached out and grabbed Yun Chengxi's ear: "Call me Fourth Sister! What's the point of calling me Sister-in-law?"
Yun Chengxi's ears were pulled so hard that they hurt. He grimaced and tried to argue, "Ouch! Sister, be gentle! My ears are going to fall off!"
"What should I call you?" Yun Ran didn't let go.
"It wasn't me who said to call me sister-in-law!" Yun Chengxi looked aggrieved and glanced at Yun Chengshou, who was standing next to him with an expressionless face.
"Sixth brother told me that Brother Rong He is your cousin, so he is also my cousin. Now that Fourth sister and cousin are engaged, we can call each other sister-in-law!"
Yun Ran: ...
Seems to make sense?
