Chapter 479 A Famous Chef
Yu Yuwei was busy in the small kitchen for an hour.
Shen Wan also helped after knowing that she wanted to apologize to Fu Zhaoning.
When the food was ready and placed on the table, Shen Wan looked at the table of dishes with a bit of surprise, "Aren't these all what your uncle likes to eat?"
Shen Xuan has a very picky taste, and his family members all know that he only eats the same dishes.
Now everything on the table suits his taste.
"Yes, if I invite Fu Zhaoning alone, she might not be willing to come, right? Then shouldn't I invite my uncle to accompany her as well?"
“What about these dishes?”
"Since Fu Zhaoning has a good relationship with my uncle, maybe their tastes are similar. I don't know her or understand her, so how can I know what she likes to eat?"
Yu Yuwei argued, "So isn't it best to use uncle's taste? Maybe she likes it too."
"I can't argue with you, and what you said makes sense." Shen Wan was unable to refute.
"Has someone been sent to invite Miss Fu?"
“Yes.”
While waiting, Yu Yuwei went back to her room to change her clothes and dress up, and fumigated her clothes with incense.
When Shen Wan saw her when she came out, she was stunned for a moment.
Because Yu Yuwei was wearing something... gorgeous. This kind of clothes is usually worn at banquets, tea parties, or flower-viewing parties, and it's a bit thin. It's cold today, isn't she afraid of freezing if she wears this?
She also put on some nice lip balm and used some expensive jewelry that she would only wear when going out.
"Xiao Wei, we're just having a meal at home, why are you dressed up?"
"Mom, look at what you said. Am I not showing that I value Miss Fu?" Yu Yuwei tried hard to hide her awkwardness.
She looked at the bowl of white jade melon soup on the table, which was her uncle's favorite.
"Why hasn't uncle come yet?"
Yu Yuwei was a little anxious.
"Maybe your grandma is still busy, wait a little longer."
"Mom, when we're almost done eating, can you help me send Miss Fu back to Xixin Garden? On the way, can you help me say a few nice words to her? You know, I can't say many soft words to her face, for fear that she won't forgive me yet."
Yu Yuwei gently shook Shen Wan’s hand, acting coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you think so." Shen Wan sighed that she had grown sensible.
Yu Yuwei was so aggressive and determined to stop the other person before, and she was really worried about angering Shen Xuan.
"I'll keep my uncle here for a while, and I'll sincerely apologize to him." Yu Yuwei said.
"It should be. It should be."
Shen Wan felt that it was a good arrangement for her to make this arrangement. She had to explain to Shen Xuan and apologize so that Shen Xuan would not think that Yu Wei was arrogant and domineering.
The mother and daughter made their arrangements and sat at the table waiting.
As a result, I waited for a long time, and the food was getting cold, but the person still didn't come.
"Xiao Xing, go and see why my uncle hasn't come yet!" Yu Yuwei couldn't help himself.
Xiao Xing went there in a hurry, and came back panting after a while.
"Cousin, the master and Miss Fu are already having dinner in the Plum Pavilion, and they are almost done eating."
"What?!" Yu Yu stood up suddenly. "Uncle also took her to Meiting for dinner?"
Shen Xuan usually eats with the old man in Jingqiu Garden, but today he actually left the old man for Fu Zhaoning and went to Meiting to eat?
"Brother, you have so much leisure time?" Shen Wan was also a little surprised. Shen Xuan hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. "This is really rare."
"What's so difficult?" Yu Yuwei was almost going crazy. "Did they say that no one was allowed in or out of the kitchen today? They said they invited a famous chef to cook for Fu Zhaoning?"
"Famous chef, is that Mr. Du?"
"Mr. Du? My uncle actually invited him?"
Yu Yuwei became even more jealous, and the flames of jealousy were about to burn her to death.
When she first came of age, she heard others instigating her to invite the famous chef Mr. Shen to prepare a banquet for her. That way she would become famous and all the other girls would envy her.
But just as she was about to say half a sentence to Shen Xuan, Shen Xuan interrupted her calmly and said that the Shen family was not suitable for publicity, and asked the chef to prepare two more dishes that day.
What's the result?
Yu Yuwei called out to Xiao Xing, "Take that bowl of white jade melon soup and follow me to Meiting!"
She ran out angrily.
The maid Xiao Xing quickly picked up the big bowl and followed.
Shen Wan was startled, “Xiao Wei, come back, don’t make trouble.”
This is the Shen family, not the Yu family. Yu Yuwei can't even say a word in the Yu family, let alone make a scene in the Shen family. Her last name is not even Shen!
She hurriedly chased after him, fearing that Yu Yuwei would really make a big deal out of it.
When Yu Yuwei arrived, Fu Zhaoning was already full.
She used to be very moderate in her eating habits, always eating until she was 70% to 80% full. But today's dishes were so delicious that she could describe every dish as "amazing", so she ate too much without realizing it.
She was so full that she couldn't sit still and stood while talking to Shen Xuan.
"How old is this Mr. Du?"
"Mr. Du is already in his sixties."
"That's really too much trouble for him, uncle. Why don't you ask him if he wants me to check his pulse?"
"You probably don't know what position your medical skills would take you if they were passed on to others."
Shen Xuan chuckled. "You just suffer because you are young."
At her age, and as a girl, she doesn't have much credibility in the eyes of the general public. If she were a man, a little older, and her medical skills were known, people would come to her doorstep to ask for her help in diagnosing a safe pulse.
She would charge a large sum for each medical consultation, and each of the heart-nourishing pills she made could be sold for tens of thousands of taels of gold.
There is a lot of prejudice against women in the world. Otherwise, why do people respect doctors so much but still look down on female doctors?
"Nothing to lose."
"Please ask Mr. Du to come over."
"yes."
Mr. Du is a short and stocky old man. He is not good-looking, but he is very neat and tidy. His sleeves are tied up, his gray hair is combed neatly, and his nails are trimmed cleanly.
Fu Zhaoning felt at first glance that this was someone who really took cooking seriously.
"Fu Zhaoning meets Mr. Du. Thank you, Mr. Du, for allowing me to taste such a sumptuous meal." Fu Zhaoning immediately took the initiative to step forward and bowed to him.
Old Du was also very surprised. Shen Xuan invited him here just for such a young girl?
"Are you from Zhaoguo?" asked Mr. Du.
"yes."
"Your surname is also Fu. There's someone I want to ask you about. Do you recognize him?" said Mr. Du.
"Mr. Du, please speak."
"A man who is about my age, also surnamed Fu, named Fu Weicang."
Fu Zhaoning looked at Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan was shocked.
"What is your relationship with the person that Mr. Du wants to inquire about?" he asked on behalf of Fu Zhaoning.
