Chapter 668 670. The Whole Table of Bugs
Jin Qianqian took a deep breath and said to Lidong, "Go and see what dishes the young master ordered.
Keep the ones that fit, and replace the ones that don’t.”
She is now worried that she will soon face a whole table full of bugs, so she decided to ask someone to take a look first.
I still held on to a glimmer of hope that this was the child's filial piety, so I ordered some delicious dishes for her.
Li Dong came in with a strange expression, and Jin Qianqian guessed the result, "The master has worked hard these days, and he should enjoy the child's filial piety.
Ask the kitchen to cook a few more dishes and send them to the front.”
As for what these bugs look like, Jin Qianqian doesn't think she is that curious.
"Madam, don't you want to go and take a look?" Li Dong's eyes were still filled with fear. "It's not appropriate to send it like this..."
"Don't worry, your master has seen the world." Jin Qianqian smiled maliciously, "We will stay here for a few years in the future, and we will come into contact with these things sooner or later. It's a good opportunity for him to have a general idea."
Li Dong wanted to persuade her, but Jin Qianqian said to her, "Go to the kitchen and tell them that my wife wants to eat something light today. Just cook some white rice porridge with some salted vegetables."
She probably won't have an appetite for the whole day, so she just picks the simplest one.
…
Gu Wenheng packed up his things and was about to go back to the back hall when the housekeeper Xu came in with his servants carrying lunch boxes.
"Why are the dishes delivered here today?" Gu Wenheng felt a little strange because he didn't say he would have meals at the yamen today.
Xu Dawang raised his head and said with a guilty conscience, "These are the meals that the young master bought from outside. Madam asked me to deliver them to the master."
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "Even if Luo Luo is sent back, the whole family should sit together and eat.
It just so happens that I don’t have much to do next day, so I’ll take this dish to the backyard and have a good meal with my family.”
Since the head of the family had spoken, Xu Dawang had no choice but to return to the mansion with his men following him.
At this moment, Jin Qianqian was eating white rice porridge with pickled cabbage with gusto. Gu Bencan had already asked his wet nurse to carefully prepare some special meals for children for him.
As for Gu Benluo, he had already sent a reply and said that he would use some of it outside at noon today.
Gu Wenheng led his men to the dining room. Jin Qianqian almost choked on the porridge in her mouth. "Why are you back?"
Gu Wenheng glanced at the rice porridge in her hand and asked, "When did this family become so poor that Madam has to eat rice porridge to fill her stomach?"
Jin Qianqian took a bite of pickled cabbage to enhance the flavor, "I suddenly have no appetite, I want to eat something light.
Didn't the housekeeper bring you food? Why are you back now?"
"How can I enjoy my son's filial piety alone?" Gu Wenheng's eyes flashed with a smile, but his words were particularly sincere, "Look, I'll have someone bring all the food over, and my husband and I will enjoy our child's filial piety together."
Jin Qianqian then noticed the familiar fan box behind her, and suddenly she jumped up from her seat and said, "It's a pity that you are late, I'm already full.
I ate a lot, so I'll go to the backyard to help digest the food. You can enjoy your meal here."
Just as she was about to flee, Gu Wenheng was one step ahead of her, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "What can this little porridge do?
Spend some time with me. If you think it tastes good, ask Luo Luo to ask the shopkeeper to come over next time, and we can order meals regularly in the future."
Jin Qianqian shook her head and said, "I won't bother the child anymore. He has so much homework to do next.
Besides, I am bringing some people with me this time, so it is time to get the Tianfu Restaurant ready."
Gu Wenheng pushed everyone back to their seats. Xu Dawang and the others had already opened the boxes and were arranging the food.
Jin Qianqian could only cover her face in despair. This was really shooting herself in the foot. It would have been better if she had let someone destroy these things.
Gu Wenheng suppressed his laughter and said, "Take a look. You should like them all."
The villain in Jin Qianqian's heart shook her head vigorously. She really didn't have such a hobby.
"You should at least take a look. If you like something, I'll help you pick it out. Otherwise, I'll make the decision myself." Gu Wenheng spoke with a smile at this time, and Jin Qianqian immediately noticed something was wrong.
She put her hand down, "So you know everything, are you kidding me?"
Gu Wenheng motioned for her to look at the dishes on the table, "Take a look, do you really not like them?"
Jin Qianqian mustered up her courage, put her hands down forcefully, and quickly opened her eyes wide. She thought she would see plates of insects of various shapes, but unexpectedly, what was placed in front of her were exquisite dishes without even a trace of an insect.
"Were these sent back by Lolo?" Jin Qianqian was a little uncertain. She had gone into the shop with him before, and looking at Lidong's expression before, it was definitely not that simple.
Gu Wenheng smiled and tapped her forehead, "I suffered a loss at the hands of your son, but you didn't know how to get back at me, and instead you threw the blame on me.
Don't worry, I specifically asked the locals about these, and the most distinctive condiments are the colorful flowers.
I guarantee there won’t be anything you don’t like.”
"The one that was sent before..."
Gu Wenheng put a chopstick into her empty bowl and said, "Lolo is so filial to us, and as a father, I have to show my gratitude.
I have just asked Guard Jiang to deliver my love to him. He must be enjoying it now!"
Gu Benluo, who was preparing to feast in the restaurant, now had a bitter face, "Uncle Jiang, do I really have to finish all this?"
Jiang Shuiniu tried his best to hold back his laughter. "The master told me to watch you eat it. He said these things were hard-earned and should not be wasted."
Gu Benluo was extremely regretful at this moment. He really just wanted to play a joke on his parents, but he didn't expect that he would end up hurting himself.
With a look of grievance, "Uncle Jiang, I have never eaten these things, I'm afraid!"
Jiang Shuiniu's heart softened and he was about to say that he could help, but when he saw those unidentified objects, he turned his head away.
But as the familiar figures came into view, he turned his head to remind Gu Benluo, "Master, the young masters are all there."
"Brother Lexi," Gu Benluo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately walked over and shouted to the people on the street, "Brothers, it's a coincidence that we can meet here today."
Gu Lexi was delighted to see that it was Gu Benluo, and said, "Luolu, we have visited many interesting places today. I will take you to see them next time."
Gu Benluo, "I haven't seen you brothers for a few days. It's a rare opportunity to meet you here today. Please don't be polite. I'll have someone order a few more dishes."
Gu Yuzhu had already seen the dishes on the table. He secretly pulled Gu Tugen next to him and said, "Look at the table."
There was no need for Gu Yuzhu to remind everyone, as everyone else had already seen it.
