Chapter 1430: Are you kidding us?
However, I have to say it even if I don’t dare to.
Manager Su gritted his teeth and said, "The pork is from a big fat pig raised by a farmer, freshly slaughtered, so the meat is the freshest. As for the vermicelli here, it's soaked in mountain spring water soaked with meat and Ganoderma lucidum..."
The guests: "..."
Are you kidding us?
The guests looked at the pork they had grabbed with their chopsticks, and then all looked at the vermicelli in the large bowl.
Why are there so few vermicelli?
I should be able to grab a chopstick...right?
Upon seeing this, King Cheng'en burst into laughter.
"Brother Su, how can you stew pork and vermicelli like this?" King Cheng'en said loudly, "At least you should put pork and vermicelli in half. Look for yourself, it's all pork, and there's not enough vermicelli for one person..."
Well, King Cheng’en expressed the thoughts of all the guests.
Old Man Su: “…”
Can he say that in Daliushu Village, people would rather put only pork and no vermicelli?
Even though the vermicelli is made with meat-soaked Ganoderma lucidum, people still enjoy eating the pork inside.
For the poor, what matters more than prolonging life is filling their stomachs and eating some real meat!
"Next time, next time I will definitely put more vermicelli and less pork." Old Man Su accepted it humbly.
Prince Cheng'en looked at Steward Su again and said loudly, "Pick up the key points and continue!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Steward Su wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bowed.
This time I see the situation clearly and dare not show off anymore.
By the way, this Manager Su is the son of Su Ding, an old servant of the Su family.
Su Ding was loyal to Tang Bao's grandfather all his life and guarded his grandfather's grave for most of his life.
Therefore, after Old Man Su was conferred the title of marquis, he made a special trip to the Su family's ancestral tomb.
One is to tell his father the good news, and the other is to take Su Ding back to the Marquis' Mansion to live out his days.
But Su Ding disagreed. He had already made up his mind to guard Tang Bao's grandfather's tomb for the rest of his life.
If the Su family moves the graves in the future, Su Ding will also follow them to Daliushu Village.
As for the Marquis' Mansion, he would not go there.
Su Ding did not go, but begged Old Man Su to take his son Su Gouzi and his family away.
So, Old Man Su sent someone to find Su Zhengyi, wanting to buy a house from the Su family.
Su Zhengyi did not make things difficult for the people sent by Old Man Su, and directly released the indentures of Su Gouzi's family.
After Su Gouzi arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Old Man Su made him a manager of the mansion.
Su Gouzi's wife and children were also given good jobs.
Originally, Old Man Su wanted to give Su Gouzi some money so that they could start a small business or something.
But, Su Gouzi and his family have been servants for most of their lives, so how could they make a living?
What's more, having the support of the Marquis' Mansion is better than anything else.
After Su Gouzi and his wife discussed it, they resolutely rejected Old Man Su's kindness and insisted on living as slaves in the Marquis' Mansion.
Following Su Gouzi's words, a new round of food grabbing began.
Here, Lord Zheng looked at the guests at his table who were almost panicking over the food and snorted a few times.
Don’t think he just saw them exchanging tacit glances?
"It's just the crude food that country folk eat," said Lord Zheng sarcastically. "You gentlemen are living in luxury, yet I didn't expect you to enjoy this kind of food so much. I didn't know that I would have thought you were from the countryside too and had never seen good food."
As soon as Lord Zheng finished speaking, the people who had just exchanged glances all showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not accept food given out of pity.
As scholars, they naturally care a lot about their reputation.
Although they were slapped in the face just now, as long as Lord Zheng did not point it out, they could pretend to be confused and get away with it.
What's more, at the main table in front, several princes were taking the lead in grabbing food. What was there for them to be embarrassed about?
But now, with Lord Zheng saying this, several people felt embarrassed.
"What does Lord Zheng mean?" the man who had mocked the guests asked angrily.
"What does it mean literally?" Lord Zheng said without hesitation, "Could it be that this Lord doesn't even understand what people are saying?"
Ha! Falling out? Am I afraid of you?
Lord Zheng looked at Old Man Su at the main table and felt very confident!
What's more, mocking the Su family in front of him is mocking himself!
"You!" The man glared at Lord Zheng and put down his chopsticks with a "pa!"
"Brother Zhang, please calm down." Someone nearby whispered, "Disturbing the Su family's happy event will only harm Brother Zhang."
After saying this, he bowed to Lord Zheng and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Zheng. We were surprised by what we did just now. Please forgive me, Lord Zheng."
As soon as this person finished speaking, the other people also reacted and bowed to Lord Zheng to apologize.
They were able to attend the banquet at the Marquis' Mansion thanks to their relatives.
Otherwise, given their status and relationship with the Su family, the Su family would definitely not accept their gifts.
In this case, if Lord Zheng shouts out what they just said, wouldn't it be self-defeating? Instead of getting closer, he will offend the Su family.
Although they didn't speak just now, they are not fools.
You didn't say anything, but your expression showed it, didn't you?
Thinking of this, several people were not only ashamed and embarrassed, but also broke out in cold sweat.
What on earth was wrong with them just now?
How dare you dislike the Su family’s food?
Even if the Su family serves you a table full of steamed buns, they should still be full of praise!
Lord Zheng is not the kind of person who would refuse to let go even if he is right.
After all, he didn't want to disrupt the banquet and make Old Man Su upset because of such a trivial matter.
So, he nodded generously to those people, indicating that the matter was over.
As for Lord Zhang who spoke, Lord Zheng ignored him.
Although Mr. Zheng's official position is not high, he feels that he has connections above him!
As for this Lord Zhang, he is just a fifth-rank Tongpan.
When he saw that other people treated Lord Zheng in this way, he felt contempt and disdain in his heart, but also a little scared.
He didn't know the relationship between Lord Zheng and the Su family, but if what he had just said were to be heard by the Su family from Lord Zheng's mouth, it would probably affect his own career.
Lord Zhang glanced at Xuanyuan Jin and several princes sitting at the main table, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Those people are the ones who can make him pay for his mistakes with just one word.
Lord Zhang gritted his teeth, blushed, and finally bowed to Lord Zheng to apologize.
Lord Zheng glanced at Lord Zhang with a proud look, and said with a forced smile, "What are you talking about, sir? If the Su family had known that you couldn't handle the country folk's banquet, they certainly wouldn't have invited you to the banquet. After all, the Su family also needs your gift."
Sure enough, when it comes to matters concerning the Su family, you always get to slap the other party in the face in the end!
This is the experience that Mr. Zheng has summed up over the years.
