Chapter 655: I Can’t Afford to Eat Something so Delicious
The guests who came to her house this time were all people whom everyone did not see normally. She was worried that she would offend the nobles and cause trouble for herself.
In this regard, Baiyunxi discovered that everyone has the ability to avoid powerful things. No matter how brash and unreasonable he is in the village, once he encounters someone he can't afford to offend, he will immediately behave.
The dishes were served to the table one after another. After everyone tasted them, they were all full of praise.
Xiaosi had some free time and sent a message to Baiyun Xi.
"Mom, although the dishes we prepared are all common, the taste is unique. I think both the dean and Mr. Xie Dalang are very satisfied."
Especially the sweet and sour squirrel fish, the dean was greatly appreciated.
"As long as you like it. In our countryside, in addition to seasonal wild vegetables, there are native chickens, ducks and fish from the Qingshui River."
Baiyunxi heard the chatter and laughter in the main room and patted Xiao Si on the shoulder.
"As part of the family, it's your responsibility to entertain guests, so go ahead."
"Don't worry, Mom, I understand." The fifth brother's study takes up more of his brain. He has to make up for his shortcomings in human relations.
Listening to Xiao Si's thoughts, Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched.
Looking at the busy kitchen, Bai Yunxi walked over directly. Seeing how many people were sweating profusely, she felt heartbroken.
"Don't just be busy with your work. Get yourself something to eat. Don't let the banquet end and you two will faint from hunger while waiting in the kitchen."
"Don't worry, we are guarding so much food, why are we hungry?"
Mrs. Zhang took out her handkerchief and wiped her face, then pushed Baiyunxi out.
"There is a lot of fumes in the kitchen. You are the master today and it is your duty to take care of the guests. Don't interfere with our work."
"Yes, mother, we will eat some when we have time, don't worry."
Du Shi put the vegetables in the pot onto a plate and put carved radish on them, which immediately raised the level.
Her mother-in-law told her that the reason why color comes first is because it must look good to attract people's attention, and only if it attracts attention can people have the opportunity to taste it.
Look at the carved radish, it's crystal clear. In order to make it look beautiful on the plate, it was dipped in several colors, including sweet, salty and sour. The plate was removed and sent to the kitchen, and the radish flowers were also eaten.
The rice and stir-fried vegetables they cooked today are so hard to eat that one looks at them.
"Thank you for your hard work. The food is very delicious and has received unanimous praise from everyone. They said that your cooking skills are better than those of the restaurant's master chefs."
Bai Yunxi looked at Du Shi. She couldn't explain talent. Looking back, she thought about setting up a shop for Du Shi. She couldn't bury this talent.
Listening to her mother-in-law's praise, Mrs. Du felt a little embarrassed.
"My cousin also taught me a lot today.
"Oh, I don't dare to take credit. Compared with you, I can't use my little experience."
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand directly. Mrs. Du was talented in cooking and could get it right. She didn't dare to take the credit.
"Your daughter-in-law is really capable and a good cook. You are very lucky to be a mother-in-law."
Mrs. Zhang said, sighing helplessly,
"Unlike me, I treat my daughter-in-law politely. She is from the city and has many rules. She speaks softly and softly, which makes me feel a bit bullied even when I raise my voice."
Mrs. Zhang said, helplessly spreading her hands,
"Although my daughter-in-law is married to my son, she is very resistant to returning to the countryside and is not willing to come back. Now that she is pregnant again, I can't bear to have her travel back and forth, so I don't insist."
Normally, when the clan brothers hold a banquet, the son and his wife should come back to congratulate them. But the daughter-in-law said that the pregnancy was not good and the doctor would not allow her to travel, so she could not force him. If something went wrong, her eldest grandson would suffer.
Listening to Zhang's thoughts, Baiyunxi waved his hand,
"Things have to be urgent. You really can't run around when you're pregnant. If the pregnancy is not good, you have to take care of it. We are both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and we can best understand this feeling."
Bai Anqiang got married last year, to a girl from the city, and now she's pregnant with a child, so it's really hard to travel around.
She doesn't care about this. It's just a banquet, so naturally it's not as important as the children.
"You're right. I have to go to the county to see if anything happens later." Mrs. Zhang agreed, urging Bai Yunxi to leave so as not to hinder their work.
As soon as Bai Yunxi returned to the side hall, Zhang Yiren waved her to sit down.
"The dishes are rich and the styles are beautiful. It's enough to eat. You don't have to run back and forth to do the work."
"You're right. If you have enough to eat, you don't have to work hard. I said Hui'er's father is a bit worried. Look at the banquet. He is much better than me."
"There is nothing good. These are either raised by myself or picked in the mountains. For you, it is just a change of taste." Baiyunxi sat down and replied softly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Meng touched the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, turned around with a smile and told her daughter,
"Sister Hui, please learn more from your Aunt Bai, and I will leave it to you to take care of the banquets at home in the future."
"I know, mother."
Chang Hui nodded gently, and the juniors sat together, talking and laughing, without being formal at all.
I'm just afraid of being called out by my elders.
Listening to Meng's explanation, Zhang Yiren couldn't help but sigh.
"Your sister Hui is still obedient and obedient, and does whatever she is told. Unlike my Yishan, who runs to the college every day, except for the small seal calligraphy, I am pretty good at it. I am embarrassed to say anything else. Whether it is temperament or female celebrity, It makes me angry just to mention it.”
"Mom, I'm not as bad as you said. When you were sick, didn't I keep the house in order?"
Zhang Yishan raised her eyebrows and retorted unconvinced.
"Listen, you're still complaining. You're a girl, it's your job to learn how to run the household and take care of the household." Zhang Yiren scolded her, her tone doting and helpless.
Bai Yunxi couldn't help laughing when she heard them bickering.
"You are all girls who grew up being pampered. Whether in terms of knowledge or learning, you are much better than the girls in the countryside. If you get married in the future, you will all be good housekeepers."
"That's right. Our sisters are capable and smart. At first glance, they are the good wives and mothers that mothers-in-law want to marry home."
Zheng put down her chopsticks and looked at Chang Hui and Zhang Yishan with a smile, her eyes were very loving.
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet. Zhang Yiren and Meng looked at each other, took a sip of tea, and then spoke quietly.
"It is said that a good wife and a good mother are the models of women, but I am afraid that my daughter will not become such a person. Her father and I have only had this one daughter in our lifetime. We do not ask for anything else in this life, but hope that she can meet a good man and live a happy life."
"Who said it is not true? My Huijie has a gentle personality, but I want her to be stronger. At most, I will thank her for the dowry and give her enough confidence."
"The children are still young anyway, and there is no rush for marriage. It is okay to teach them slowly for two years and change their personality."
