He has always looked down on Prime Minister Xue, but he would not look down on Xue Hanyu as well, so he was relatively gentle towards Xue Hanyu.
Seeing that the two brothers treated the girl as their own daughter, he would definitely treat her as his own niece as well.
He also decided to make fun of Prime Minister Xue when he returned to the capital. Humph, it was crazy for him to take care of this and that in the capital. He couldn't even take care of his own daughter, so why would he take care of others?
Prime Minister Xue was promoted by the current emperor, and he is very familiar with Cheng Kang, the emperor's confidant, but the two have always been at odds.
Soon, Jiang came out with a tray.
"You two should come and eat too! We've prepared so much. We're from the countryside, so there shouldn't be so many rules!"
After Jiang scooped a bowl for Cheng Kang, Cheng Shun and Xue Hanyu, she called Dongliu and Xiyuan.
"You guys eat! After you finish, please help look after the children and let Miss Xue take a break!"
Cheng Kang said to the two guards.
East Flow West Source: "..."
Uncle, we are your guards, not babysitters, right?
However, that ice jelly looks delicious. Forget it, I'll just eat a bowl and then stare at the little thing!
"Old woman, Hanyu, pack up. We'll go to the city later and take Big Brother to our tavern for lunch. Then we'll go to the skewers restaurant tonight. Have the Xie family kid fill the ice basin so it's not too hot. I just wonder if Fatty and the others have finished making their fruit wine yet?"
Cheng Shun said while eating ice jelly.
"Okay! Jin Yan's mother said she'll buy red paper this afternoon and cut out the wedding characters in the next two days. After dinner, Han Yu and I will go find Jin Yan's mother, and you can take big brother to visit Taoyuan County. Big brother hasn't been back in so many years, and our county has changed a lot!"
Jiang nodded.
…
When family members come to eat at the restaurant, they don’t have to queue up. They can just go in from the backyard and wait in the lounge at the back.
Cheng Yue and Cheng Wen made several set meals in the middle of the meal and brought them to Cheng Shun and the others.
Today's tavern set meal is a roast duck, fried dumplings, and winter melon and kelp soup.
This roast duck was made in the stove that Cheng Yue had someone build last month. It was used for the first time today and it tasted pretty good.
The filling of the fried dumplings uses several ingredients, including pork, leeks, fungus, fresh shrimp, eggs, and corn kernels.
Although winter melon and kelp soup is a very common soup, the taste is different with Cheng Yue's palm water.
Fortunately, there was Zhang Chengyi in the kitchen. Otherwise, rolling out the dumpling wrappers, chopping the dumpling fillings, making the dumplings, and cooking the roast duck would be too much for just the two of them.
The Zhang family was not exaggerating at all. Zhang Chengyi was indeed very familiar with kitchen matters. He was the one who did all the work, kneading the dough and rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
Because there are dumplings, rice is not provided today. In Cheng Yue's opinion, dumplings are also a staple food.
Cheng Kang put a mouthful of dumplings in his mouth, and then took another sip of soup.
When he took a mouthful of the soup, he was completely stunned. He had never tasted such delicious soup before.
Really, he dared to say that he had never tasted such delicious soup in his fifty years of life.
The Cheng family was immune to the taste. They drank palm water every day and rarely ate outside food. They just thought it was as delicious as ever.
"How's it? Our Fatty's cooking is pretty good! How does it compare to the royal chefs you've eaten?"
Cheng Shun looked at his elder brother's stunned expression and asked proudly.
