Chapter 585: He Family Banquet



Jin'er and Yan Jie'er had both come here beforehand, so they were very familiar with each other. On the contrary, Tai Ge'er and the others had never seen the teacher before because they had been taking his class before, so they were naturally curious about everything they saw.

For the first time ever, Yan Jie'er and Jin'er led the way for their brothers, acting like the masters.

Du Jingxiang was holding her belly from behind, and Du Jingyi was supporting her. The two sisters felt happy from the bottom of their hearts when they saw this scene.

He Shilin also took two days off and rushed back to help move into the new house. Now that his parents, wife, and children are all reunited and have settled down in Sui'an City, he feels a lot more relieved.

So, after accompanying everyone to tour the house, I invited them all to sit in the flower hall.

The He family's house was not large enough and could only accommodate three tables at most. But fortunately it was summer, so tables were set up in the small waterside pavilion and the pavilion, and they were decorated with gauze and bead curtains, which was quite ingenious.

When my aunt saw this, she immediately praised it.

"Mrs. Du is really good at giving birth. Not only are her two daughters as beautiful as flowers, but this idea is also very good. Look, with this arrangement, we will be in a better mood for the feast. It seems that we are in for a treat today."

Her words were sincere, so the entire He family was grateful.

The maids led everyone to sit down. They originally thought that the tables in the house should be reserved for distinguished guests like the aunt and her family, but they were more interested in the food in the pavilion, so they made an appointment to go there.

Mrs. Guo San had eaten many banquets in Sui'an City, but this was the first time she had eaten a banquet sitting in a pavilion like this, so she looked around curiously and then said with admiration.

"The scenery here is really beautiful. You can introduce these craftsmen to me tomorrow. The Guo family's house has been used for many years and it's time to renovate it."

Seeing this, Aunt Xing said jokingly.

"Then you have to wait in line. These workers are still repairing my house. It will take at least two months. Can you wait?"

"Why can't we wait? As long as the craftsmen are good, I am happy to wait for half a year."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi laughed.

It seems that his original decision to use the greenhouse idea to exchange for a stake in this bricklaying team was a good one. Although the work was only done for relatives and he did not make much money, he had a steady stream of customers and a good reputation. When the Guo family's house was completed, their reputation outside would be even more famous.

Therefore, seeing that there was another way to make money, Du Jingyi was naturally happy.

After a while, today's dishes were served. Many of the dishes were seen for the first time by everyone, so Du Jingxiang explained on the side.

"These are all Pingzhou dishes. I asked Dan Ruo to come and work with the cook at home to change the taste a little bit. This way, the characteristics of Pingzhou are retained, but the taste won't be too strong. So give them a try. If you think they're delicious, I'll ask them to make them next time."

The cuisine of Pingzhou is slightly similar to that of Cezhou.

But it is not as rough as Cezhou, nor as delicate as Jinling City. It has a simple and unpretentious beauty. It looks like some ordinary ingredients, but after taking a bite, you will find that they have a unique flavor.

They all have spoiled tastes, and it is not easy to get their praise.

Therefore, Du Jingxiang was looking at everyone's expressions with great anticipation, fearing that he would miss it. As a result, after everyone tasted them one by one, everyone had their own preferences, and almost every dish was praised by someone.

Seeing this, she felt relieved and started to introduce them quickly.

"Dan Ruo's cooking skills are truly amazing. She can always come up with something new no matter what dish she cooks. Once you eat it, you know it's her skill. I'm so greedy every time I see you, girl. I wish I could take you directly to the new house."

Aunt Xing happily praised Dan Ruo, which made Du Jingyi a little "unhappy". He immediately took his aunt's hand and said in a coquettish manner.

"Aunt is the boss. Look at how my aunt is. She always says a lot every time she comes. I was so scared that when I heard she was coming, I ordered Danruo to hide after cooking. I was afraid she would take the food away. Then we would miss out on the food."

My eldest aunt had the best relationship with Aunt Xing, so she was not afraid of jokes and responded to her immediately.

"Don't worry, I'm here to keep an eye on it. I'll see if Yun Qing makes a fuss or not."

Aunt Xing also spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes, yes, you are all family. I am just a stranger from outside. I heard that this house is so beautiful and fragrant, so I came here to join in the fun. Please don't chase me out!"

Her performance made everyone present laugh continuously, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, which achieved the effect of warming up the home.

Not far away, the two elders of the He family, the Du couple, and He Shilin were sitting in the flower hall with their children. Listening to the laughter coming from outside from time to time, they were happy in their hearts.

Seeing that there were children all around her, Aunt He lowered her voice and came close to Mrs. Du and spoke.

"I used to think that the ladies in these wealthy families were all reserved and didn't like to smile, but now it sounds like they are no different from the common people like us."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Mrs. Du smiled, not thinking there was anything wrong with what her mother-in-law said, and then she explained.

"Isn't it the same? We all eat grains, so how can we have an extra pair of eyes?"

"That's interesting, mother-in-law."

"However, the people of the Gu family, the Guo family, and this aunt of the Xing family are indeed easy to get along with, but not all families are so approachable. You will also be walking around in Sui'an City in the future. When you meet them, I will tell you that some ladies still look down on others."

Hearing this, Aunt He nodded. After all, this was in line with her impression of these noble ladies.

Then, we had a good meal again.

The food this time was well prepared and everyone was left wanting more.

Especially after eating, they took a sip of the warm, sweet and sour syrup, which made everyone a little curious.

"What's this?"

"Hawthorn drink is the best for digestion. I asked them to cool it down in advance so it's easier to drink."

"This stuff is good, but there is a recipe. We can take it back so that the cook at home can learn from it."

Mrs. Guo San had spoken, so Du Jingxiang naturally offered it to her. Fortunately, the recipe was not complicated, so it could be used immediately after taking it.
