Chapter 132: Just a taste?
"Who would dislike having too much money? Money is a person's most loyal friend. When you are sad, it can turn into delicious food and drinks to comfort you; when you are shopping, it can turn into beautiful clothes, bags and jewelry."
Zhao Yuannu sighed: "When you are sad, if you don't have money, you can only sit at home and cry; if you have money, you can cry in Bianliang, or go to Jiangnan, and you can find a group of people to cry with you, and cry however you want."
"I can't compare to you guys. You all have people backing you up." Zhao Yuannu looked at her three good sisters and said, "You are the well-known White Bodhisattva in Bianliang City, and your father is a paper prime minister."
"What did you say?" Bai Qiannuo raised her eyebrows.
"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally told the truth. Embarrassing. After all, your father is a prime minister. Who would dare to cause trouble for you?"
"You are the most talented woman in Tokyo. Your father and father-in-law were both ministers in the court. Although they are gone now, there are still many people who care for you. For a crime like tearing up a scumbag with your bare hands, which cost you two years in prison, there were a lot of people who pleaded for you. I heard that even His Majesty personally intervened."
"You look so weak and fragile, I feel pity for you. Who would be willing to trouble you? I am the only one who has a miserable life. I have to drink, chat and sleep with you. Life is so hard."
?????
Wang Yao: My father is the Minister of the Central Secretariat after all, do you look down on him?
"Sisters, please take care of your younger sister. Money is the only thing she can rely on."
"Don't cry poor! How dare you say you're miserable? The most luxurious restaurant in Bianliang City is your property. You may not have a powerful father, but you have the support of the most powerful person in the Song Dynasty. Who would dare to cause trouble for you?"
"Oh, don't mention it. What I really care about is Master Li. She is the main dish. Even if I eat too much, it's just a dessert after the meal. I will only taste it briefly when I am interested."
"Master Li is the white moonlight, the cinnabar mole, and I am just a grain of rice, a cinnabar mole."
"Are you sure you're just going to give it a try? Don't you know his strengths and weaknesses? Does he not know your depths?"
?????
Zhao Yuannu was confused. What the hell are you talking about?
"You are a professional, but how come you are not as good as an amateur like me?" Li Qingzhao pointed at Zhao Yuannu's cherry lips and then at the Kunlun purple melon on the table.
"Bah!" Zhao Yuannu spat softly, and fought back unwillingly: "No matter how professional I am, I can't compare to you. Your Zhao Mingcheng is famous for his many tricks."
"I won, I won. Pay me quickly, two taels of silver per person." Li Qingzhao rolled the dice and moved her last chess piece to the finish line.
"You really didn't delay at all."
"Of course, give them all the money."
"Why are you all staring at me..." Zhao Yuannu didn't finish his words when he suddenly remembered what he had just said.
"Today's expenses are all mine..."
Zhao Yuannu pulled out a stack of banknotes from his chest. The smallest denomination was one hundred taels. He placed them on the table and said in a domineering tone, "Let's see who's stronger, you or my family."
………Dog tycoon!
"If you say so, then I'll let go." Li Qingzhao took out six strings of cash and slammed them on the table: "All in!"
Then, Li Qingzhao lost everything...
Even if you win nine out of ten times, there will still be one where you lose, right? It just so happens...
Li Qingzhao exchanged one more painting for one hundred taels of silver, and the horse racing was allowed to continue until noon. Everyone was so hungry that they could not bear it anymore, so Li Qingzhao reluctantly ended the horse racing.
The life of people in the Song Dynasty was quite romantic, especially the wealthy families, who were very particular about what they ate every day.
"White Snake, what are we going to eat today? My stomach is growling with hunger. I feel like I can eat a whole cow." Li Qingzhao rubbed her stomach in a very uncouth manner.
White Snake glanced at Li Qingzhao and said, "It's because you keep wanting to play that Sister Wang is almost fainting from hunger."
"Come on, let's go! You're in for a treat! Today's dish was personally prepared by Chef Fang Yishao from Jinlou."
"Wow, it's Chef Fang. One spoonful is just right. I heard she only cooks four times a month and spends the rest of the time studying her cooking skills. You, Bai Bodhisattva, are so generous."
Talking and laughing, they walked into the living room, and the maid quickly ordered the kitchen to serve the food.
Drinking a cup of tea before a meal is as common as modern people having three cups of wine at the table.
Soon, the maids placed a series of delicious dishes on the table. The dishes looked good and had pleasant names, and the names were recited in rhyme like poetry.
Gluten rolled in Jade Bag, fried loofah and mushrooms with smoked vegetables.
Stir-fried cabbage with five-spice sauce, Kung Pao taro shreds and king oyster mushrooms.
Green vegetable vermicelli tofu cake, snow vegetable and spring bamboo shoots steamed tofu skin.
Fried rice cakes with colorful beans, zucchini with kelp and garlic.
Abalone mushrooms with radish skirt in soup, green beans with bean curd sheets and black bean sauce.
"White Snake, White Bodhisattva, you really became a Buddha. This table smells delicious, but there is no meat. Why are there only vegetables?" Li Qingzhao widened her eyes.
"Green vegetables, white radish, tofu, tasteless!"
"Who said that? It's just that their skills are poor. These vegetarian dishes can also taste like chicken, duck, fish and meat." Fang Yishuo's voice came from outside the door. She took off her apron as she walked.
"Really? Then I have to try it to see if it's as good as you say. I can't live without meat."
"This is the vegetarian meal I recently researched. I specially researched it to commemorate the Empress of our Song Dynasty. She was patrolling the city wall with Princess Roujia, and her hair turned white overnight. It was so heartbreaking." Fang Yishuo's eyes were full of piety, as if he was on a pilgrimage.
