Guests love stones. Mr. Chao and his sons and daughters-in-law kept company. Li Shao, Xiao Shao, Chen Cai and classmate Cai Cai did not join in the fun, while He Le’s classmates Mei Shaojun, He Xiaoshi and Xiaoliu, and Wang Ershao slipped away to drink tea.
A group of young people were sitting in the hall, eating tea, nibbling melon seeds, and leisurely discussing medicinal foods, not affected by the lively scene outside.
Young Master Liu also wanted to run away, but his old man was very interested and grabbed him and asked him to explain some terms.
Ms. Wang is not crazy about jade. What she loves is dressing up little girls. She wants to find her little cotton-padded jacket after playing with it. However, there are also more than a dozen ladies who come here, and they have fun with her. , she could only risk her life to accompany the gentleman.
Because the people he brought were turned away, Mr. Wu was not depressed, especially when he saw a group of big E and a group of young people cheering Chao Jiayi's granddaughter more enthusiastically than him, and he felt even more depressed. He was not interested in admiring the rocks, so he pretended to be interested because of his appearance.
He didn't have much interest, but Mr. Ji, Li, Dong, Jiang, Shao and others were very involved, admiring and exchanging opinions with each other. The scene was lively and full of enthusiasm.
Everyone was so involved that half an hour passed and no one went to drink tea. After twelve o'clock, the waiter came to ask Mr. Chao if he could prepare the meal. Everyone was still unfinished because the master Invite the guests into the dining room to prepare for the meal, and then move away reluctantly.
When the guests were seated, the chefs and waiters rolled out several dining carts with rice and tableware. They placed them and took the tableware to fill the rice and vegetables.
The simple lunch at the Chao family tea party is not the kind of hospitality at a banquet, but like eating Western food, one meal per person, with red wine and cups on the table, as well as soup, soup bowls, and rice. , guests can use it freely.
Fang’s mother and others also acted as temporary waiters, helping to pass the plates, put cutlery on the plates, load the rice, and then pass it to the chefs to divide the dishes, and the waiters delivered them to the table;
Le Yun, Brother Xiao, Chen, and others all put on white chef uniforms and made them spotless. They also helped carry the plates to the table. Le Xiaoxiao helped divide the dishes. She has good eyesight and can distribute the dishes evenly and quickly. Soon, only one dinner plate was installed in the big kitchen, and she finished two servings.
There are more than a hundred people including the host, and there are twelve tables for hosts and guests, plus chefs, waiters, and domestic servants, for a total of fifteen tables.
With helpers, even if the meals are divided, it will be very fast. The meals for the twelve tables will be ready in less than fifteen minutes. The chefs and waiters also have their own portions. The plates are placed on the table, the dining car is covered, and the seats are seated.
Second Master Chao delivered a brief speech to express his welcome to the guests. At the end, he smiled and said, "There are two dishes and soup at noon. They are medicinal meals carefully prepared by the little girl of our old Chao family. I hope you can enjoy them." If you have an appetite, please use it slowly."
"Hurry up and try the dish made by the little girl."
Ji Shaoxuan and others were in high spirits, waiting for the master. After raising his cup to show respect from a distance, he happily tasted the food.
Lunch includes five dishes and one soup, which together are auspicious. Hot dishes include twice-cooked pork slices, claypot chicken nuggets,Stir-fried konjac with sauerkraut, braised pork and stir-fried mushrooms as cold dishes, and fish head, chicken bone and wolfberry soup as soup
Minister Ji Laohe and others heard that the soup was also made by a little girl, and some of them drank the soup first. Someone tasted the food first, and within a moment the table became lively.
"I guessed that this one with pickled vegetables was made by a little girl."
"There is also braised pork, and the taste of braised pork is also different."
Every dish tastes very good, but the ones with sauerkraut and braised pork taste the best. The thin and tough slices made of some material are crisp and delicious, and the braised pork is not greasy.
The foodie’s mouth is sharp and he can taste it as soon as he tastes it. He specializes in two dishes.
The young and old of the Chao family smiled with rosy faces.
When the meal was served, Mr. Jiang only attacked vegetarian dishes because he had eaten the dumplings made by the little girl, and when he tasted the fried konjac with pickled cabbage, he knew that it must be the girl's masterpiece.
Le Yun was sitting next to Mr. Jiang, looking at him as he only ate vegetarian food, with an incomprehensible smile: "Young Master Jiang, you are not confident about my craftsmanship"
"No, I prefer to be vegetarian." ." Mr. Jiang remained calm as usual.
Le Yun would not reveal that he had anorexia, but helped Mr. Jiang fill half a bowl of soup. "This is a health soup specially prepared by me, Mr. Jiang, try it."
"Young Master Jiang is so lucky to be taken care of by a little beauty." Young Master Xuan winked and said cutely, "Little beauty, I also prefer vegetarian food, can you also take care of me?"
"It's too late. "Le Yun smiled brightly, her eyes turning into crescent moons.
The handsome boys at the table, Zhou Shao, Jiang Shaoji, Shaohua Shaoxin, Chen Shao, Huo Shao and Tan Tai, looked over and saw that the braised pork in Master Xuan’s plate was all empty. Eat your own portion.
"Hey, where is my braised pork?" Mr. Ah."
How ""When did the young master of the Xuanyuan family become an unscrupulous idiot?
Jiang Shao looked back at Xuan Shao with a smile and picked up the soup bowl. , took a small sip, and the soup fell into his stomach. He was slightly surprised, it was not fishy
He took another sip with doubt, it was not fishy, there was no fishy smell, and no chicken taste. The soup is thick and fragrant. What does it taste like? Yes, it tastes like pineapple.
After taking several sips, there was no feeling of acidity in the stomach. Young Master Jiang took small sips and drank most of the small bowl of soup before putting the bowl away. He wiped his mouth with a paper towel and ate rice again.
After taking a few bites, he noticed that the little girl kept looking at him sideways. He was silent. He stretched out his chopsticks to the braised pork for the first time and only picked up a thin slice of pig ear less than two centimeters long. Put it in a bowl of chili sauce and dip it in it. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he fired the bow without looking back. With a mood more tragic than "the wind is rustling and the water is cold", Jiang Shao put the meat into his mouth.
The taste of chili pepper stimulated his taste buds. He wanted to swallow the dates wholeheartedly, but he also thought that others would find out if he did so, so he chewed them like normal food.
While chewing carefully, look at the corners of your eyesLooking at the people at the same table from the corner of his eye, only the little girl looked at him with a smile, while the others were fighting for their food.
While observing everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but swallow the chewed food. When he realized that he was shocked, he really ate it
I had not eaten meat for many years. He had long forgotten the taste of meat. Even if he wasn't so disgusted with the greasy smell recently, what he associated with meat was still an unbearable feeling of nausea.
However, today, he actually indulged in meat and ate a piece of pork.
Moreover, I didn’t have any strong objection when I chewed it. It felt like it was crispy and fragrant
Thinking of the crispy and fragrant taste, a trace of doubt crossed Mr. Jiang’s mind. He always felt that it tasted like It seemed a bit familiar. After thinking about where he had eaten it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. He silently picked up another piece of meat, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it.
I actually ate it to begin with, so I just kept making the same mistake again and again, and vomited as much as I wanted.
With the mentality of going to the execution ground, Major General Jiang chewed the meat in his mouth carefully and swallowed it slowly. Feeling that the disgust was not strong, he chewed one, two, and three more pieces. , eating seven or eight yuan, a question popped up in his mind, this really tastes like meat
Observation, the meat is genuine, but why does it not taste like meat
Full of doubts, Mr. Jiang ate some konjac slices, and after eating a few slices, he ate them with braised pork. Over and over again, he wiped out all the braised pork, finished the konjac mushrooms, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and felt satisfied for the first time.
Not Tu Leyun watched Jiang Shao eat braised pork, and found that his expression and muscle reactions were very normal except for the initial resistance, which showed that his stomach and sense of smell accepted the taste of braised pork.
He eats meat without vomiting, which means that his symptoms of carnivore have initially improved. If he continues to work hard, he can slowly reverse it.
Le Yun grinned and picked up the bowl to drink soup. In order to coax Jiang to eat less meat, she worked hard to make a seasoning that had the same taste as the medicinal dumplings she gave him and added it to the braised pork. , being able to deceive his sense of taste shows that she is successful.
Master Jiang only ate braised pork and one meat dish, and did not touch chicken or twice-cooked pork. Master Ji, Master Zhou and others were not picky eaters and ate them all. Although twice-cooked pork and chicken were not as good as braised pork, the taste was also very good, at least It's better than ordinary hotel food.
They were very satisfied with their meal. Everyone almost finished the vegetables and rice, except Mr. Jiang, who left the chicken and twice-cooked pork untouched.
Although the young masters of the Guwu family are not obviously picky eaters, they are actually very picky. It makes them feel happy when they eat, which also proves that the food is really good.
Everyone was satisfied with the meal. Needless to say, the other guests present were also 99% satisfied. The only thing they were dissatisfied with was that the portion of konjac was a bit small. If the portion could be increased, Two or three times would be perfect.
Mr. Wu was depressed and only felt satisfied when eating; Mayor Wang ate the anti-cancer magic dish and understood Secretary Chao’s words. He compared Chao’s konjac with the konjac in the cafeteria. KonjacThe dishes are very different.
Professor Fu, who was sitting at the same table with Mr. Chao, was already jokingly poaching, wanting to find out the recipe for soup and braised pork brine. Mr. Chao said seriously, "I can't comment on this. It's exclusive to our little Lele." "Secret recipe."
"Yes, I knew it was like this. I'll ask Classmate Le directly one day." Professor Fu grinded his teeth secretly. The young and old in the Chao family often have delicious food and don't know how to share it. It's not enough. friend.
Mr. Chao had a sly smile in his eyes. Hey, let anyone who wants to ask ask. It would be strange if they could ask.
After a simple lunch, a group of people gathered outside the building to admire the original jade stones. The main purpose of the stone appreciation tea party was to appreciate the stones, so they continued in the afternoon.
The waiters waited for the guests to move outside, quickly cleared the table, re-covered the tablecloth, and set out the tea sets.
There was a female guest among the guests. She was far less enthusiastic about raw jade stones than people in the jade industry. After enjoying them for a while, they took them into the hall to chat about women's homes.
Mr. Wu secretly paid attention to the expressions of everyone in the Chao family but never gained much. When he finally saw the grandson of the He family leaving the crowd, he quietly withdrew from the crowd of enthusiastic stone-viewing guests and followed Colonel Yan to avoid the crowd. In the bathroom behind the villa, when there was no one around, I quickly walked two steps parallel to Colonel Yan, and asked in a low voice, "Colonel Yan, can you take a step to talk?"
