Chapter 64 Banquet
"Oh, why are you so polite, kid? Your brother asked me to take good care of you. Just treat each other as family. Don't be nervous." Mrs. Wang pulled Li Zheng to sit next to her. She didn't dare to refuse and sat down. It can be seen that the general's wife valued her. The ladies sitting below looked at her again and took her seriously.
"Come, let me introduce you." Madam Wang pulled Li Zheng over and introduced the women of each family to her, and what to call them. Li Zheng also greeted them, and the ladies opposite said nice things as if they were free. After the introductions, Li Zheng declined Madam Wang's kindness and stayed alone. After all, Madam Wang was not the only guest. She was the host today, so she naturally had to come out to entertain the guests. Madam Wang saw that she was sensible and was relieved that her kindness was not in vain. "Okay, then you can stay here to eat, drink and chat. We will have fun together when the show starts later."
After Mrs. Wang left, she found a corner to sit down and watch. She couldn't fit in with the little girls if she played with them, so she decided to just wait here quietly for the banquet to end. If she could find someone to talk to, it wouldn't be too late to chat later.
"Sister Zheng, do you mind if I sit here?" She looked up and saw a woman in her twenties, wearing a lilac dress. Her face was gentle and dignified, and her eyes were filled with a smile. Li Zheng quickly stood up and bowed. "Hello, Madam Cheng, please take a seat." She knew this person from Madam Wang's introduction; she seemed to have a strong liking for her when she praised her.
Mrs. Cheng saw that she looked a little confused, so she smiled and said, "Sister Zheng, you don't know who I am, right?"
"I'm sorry, I just arrived a short time ago. I only know you as Mrs. Cheng from General Cheng's family." Li Zheng looked apologetic. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cheng laughed even harder when she saw this.
"Hey, stop teasing me, Sister Zheng, just ignore her and she'll be a jerk." Li Zheng looked over and saw two more women coming in. They were about the same age, one in a blue dress and the other in a purple dress. The one who spoke was the woman in the blue dress; she recognized them. "Hello, Madam Yang, hello, Madam Wan."
"Oh, don't be so polite, just sit down." Mrs. Yang held her hand and asked her to sit down quickly.
"yes."
"Sister Yang, why are you interrupting me now?" Madam Cheng seemed to have a good relationship with Madam Yang, even flirting with her. "You're such a jerk! If I hadn't come, you'd have bullied me! Cheng Ze asked us to keep an eye on her, and you're still acting like this." She looked disgusted.
Li Zheng realized instantly that he had already arranged this and hadn't told her. Seeing that she had understood, Madam Wan smiled and said, "Hey, Cheng Ze asked us to take care of you. Of course, it's not all for him. We came here because we're attracted by your cooking skills."
My cooking skills? Seeing that she was still a little confused, Madam Yang pointed it out, "You don't know yet, didn't the couple of us three go to your house for dinner the other day? We ate all the hot pot and duck products they brought back. Now that we've finished eating, we have the audacity to come over and ask if you have any more."
What else is there to not understand at this point? "So that's how it is. It's my honor that Madam likes to eat it. I will prepare some and send it to your house when I get back." It was also her fault that she didn't react for a while.
"Oh, Azheng, don't forget us." When Mrs. Cheng saw that someone had gotten there first, she hurried to catch up, fearing that she would not have a share.
"Of course not, all three ladies have it." It doesn't matter if they like it. Besides, these foods are not expensive. It will probably be popular when it opens.
"Oh, Azheng, don't be polite with us. After a few days, you will have to call us sister." Mrs. Yang joked.
Li Zheng understood what Madam Yang was talking about, so she could only lower her head and pretend to be shy. It was inevitable no matter where she went. The three ladies were naturally even happier to see Li Zheng shy. This seemed to be the joy of married women being urged to get married. "Oh, Zheng, I don't know how you make your duck, but it's really addictive, especially the duck neck. I always feel like I haven't eaten it all."
Mrs. Cheng also agreed, "Yes, me too, but I like eating duck wings, which fall off the bones in one bite. I also have to be careful that my husband will snatch the food from me." When his wife came back that day, she actually wanted to hide it secretly. It was her cleverness that made her eat it all.
Li Zheng knew at a glance that they had a good relationship as a couple.
"But I think hot pot is the most delicious. It's a pity that we couldn't resist and finished it in two days. And my son, who can't eat spicy food, is smart. He rinsed it with water before eating, and he ate a lot of dishes!" Mrs. Yang also thinks hot pot is good. She didn't think much of it when she ate it that day, but her husband insisted that it was delicious, so she tried it. Unexpectedly, he couldn't stop eating it. Even her five-year-old son smelled it and kept clamoring to eat it. It seems that she was short-sighted.
"What about you?" Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Yang asked Mrs. Wan when they saw that she didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wan's face turned red and she said, "I think hot pot is delicious too." She looked at them again and said hesitantly, "Especially that pig brain." After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at them. She lowered her head shyly. After all, it was a bit... wrong for her to like eating this. It was all his fault for insisting that it was delicious.
Li Zheng saw that Madam Wan was a little shy, but she didn't expect that she was so secretive. Not everyone could accept this kind of thing.
When the wives of Cheng and Yang heard this, they were also stunned. "I only ate duck intestines, and he didn't tell me that pig brains were delicious. Let's go back and deal with him." In fact, it was not the fault of the two generals for not telling their wives. It was mainly because they themselves felt a little weird after seeing it, let alone women, so they didn't say anything.
The banquet passed by in the company of the three ladies, chatting and laughing. Of course, she also promised to send them a lot of delicious food. Looking at the carriages of the three ladies leaving, she thought that birds of a feather flock together, and the people around them were all people who loved to eat.
When they got on the carriage, they saw the two of them already inside. Bao Geer felt a little aggrieved, "Sister, let's go back quickly." Not only did they not have a good time, but they also didn't eat well. She also understood that it was not easy for children to attend a banquet, especially the male guests, who didn't know how to take care of children. It was always the adults talking, and the children had nothing to play with.
"Isn't Bao Ge'er playing with anyone in there?" Madam Yang's son should be in there. Madam Wan's child was too young to be brought here.
"Yes, there are, but they are too young. It's boring to follow me all the time." Now Bao Ge'er really wants to play with the older children and doesn't want to be with Slug.
She didn't say much. Baoger is already grown up and can handle his own affairs. Sometimes it's not good to interfere too much.
