Shen Xingqi is already able to stand alone in cooking.
As the hostess of the family, Cheng Xi talked with Mrs. Qin, and soon a richer fragrance came from the kitchen.
"I finally understand why Zheng'er runs here every day."
Mrs. Qin marveled again, "Compared with Xingqi's cooking skills, the signature dishes of the restaurants in Fucheng will probably pale in comparison."
"My aunt is very fond of it. Simple cooking can better retain the original taste of food. We are just better at the variety of seasonings. We just try to come up with a few tricks every day when we have nothing to do at home."
"That's why you are talented in this area."
Mrs. Qin felt that Cheng Xi was too humble. If such delicious food were placed in the city, it would definitely be popular among guests. Those chefs who stayed in the kitchen every day were constantly exploring, so why didn't they explore like this?
There is still a big difference between people.
Wang Shu came over quickly to announce that dinner was ready, and a few minutes later everyone was sitting in the Shen family hall.
Mr. Xu, who had gone out for a walk, came back quickly after smelling the fragrance. After saying hello, he sat in the main seat. On the left and right were Mr. Qin and Chen Xingluo. Since the table was rectangular, the juniors except Mrs. Qin did not have so many rules. .
In this way, Qin Zheng stepped into the living room door for the first time today, and inevitably attracted the glares of the Qin family.
The person involved smiled ingratiatingly at his mother, which made the two elders angry. It was neither a smile nor a smile.
"Sister-in-law, why is the wine jar different this time?"
Of course it's different. You've only drank one type of fruit wine, so you have no experience with it.
Mr. Xu was secretly proud. He glanced at the boy who often competed with him for drinks and instantly felt a sense of accomplishment.
The treatment of this master and my friend is completely different!
Cheng Xi and Wang Shu took two jars of wine from the kitchen and placed them in front of the table. Although they were both black jars, the red cloth patterns used to seal them were very different.
"Master Qin has seen this before, cherry wine."
"What about the other altar?"
"wine."
"Is it the kind of wine that foreign countries pay tribute to? My sister-in-law can actually make wine?!"
Qin Zheng was so excited that he almost stood up, but the next moment he received Mr. Qin's stern look. He had no choice but to sit in his seat and wait eagerly.
Chen Xingluo took the three-pound wine jar from Cheng Xi's hand, "Everyone, try it, but can you still drink it?"
The wine glasses in front of everyone were filled up one by one. Although cherry wine and wine were both red, they were very different when placed together. One was purple-red and the other was much lighter in color.
Take a sip, the fruity aroma is perfectly integrated into the wine, and the taste is more mellow than that of aged wine.
Those who drank it for the first time were immediately shocked, with surprise clearly reflected on their faces.
The Qin family had drunk cherry wine before, and the two jars Qin Zheng brought back gave them an amazing feeling. However, this time the taste was more mellow, and the fragrance left on the mouth was not enough to describe it.
“Good wine!”
If there were more raw materials for making wine, wouldn't it be possible to produce countless fine wines?
By then, even the nobles will no longer be able to drink the wine from Fanbang!
Mr. Qin saw unlimited business opportunities in the wine and almost couldn't suppress his excitement. Thinking that he was a guest now, he suppressed his desire to talk freely.
Because he was so familiar with the Shen family, Qin Zheng did not suppress his surprise at all, "Yeah, good wine, good wine, Brother Shen, you are so uninteresting, you didn't even give me a drink before."
"Of course, good wine must be filial to my master. What can't you buy with so much money? You actually competed with me for a drink. How greedy!"
"But you can't buy it from Brother Shen's house!"
"..."
Mr. Xu glared at his beard. Seeing that the two of them got along well, the Qin couple guessed that they usually bickered a lot, so they simply ignored it.
Chen Xingluo sighed helplessly, picked up the kuaizi and invited the guests to eat.
The only elder is an obscure old boy. Even if he is sitting at the head table, can he be expected to follow the host's etiquette and greet the guests to eat?
"Uncle and aunt, you two must be hungry, please feel free to do so."
In the middle of the large rectangular dining table is roasted deer. The meat has been cut into regular cuts with a knife. Now it is sizzling with oil. The aroma of the braised meat is enhanced by the barbecue seasonings.
The sweet and sour pork ribs, the sweet but not greasy braised pork, the crisp scrambled eggs with shrimps and lettuce in oyster sauce, two seasonal vegetable salads and a few pickled pickles in small plates are still warm and delicious in the kitchen crucian carp soup.
As for the hare, Shen Xingqi took the initiative and made braised rabbit meat.
Song Yan sat next to Cheng Xi, wanting to shout out almost every time she took a bite. Due to the etiquette, she swallowed the words with great difficulty, but her eyes that were getting brighter and brighter were very conspicuous.
Food, food, food!
Why are pork bones so delicious?
The fatty meat also melts in your mouth!
Why is lettuce so bright green?
And the roasted venison tastes so delicious!
"Xixixi~"
Cheng Xi shook her hands and said, "Just call me Xiaoxi, really."
"But you call me Yanyan?"
"..." That's because the name Yan'er is too similar to white lotus and green tea.
"Then I will call you Xiaoyan from now on?"
When Song Yan heard this, she trembled even more exaggeratedly than she did, "It's better to forget it, but that's not the point!"
"What do you want to say?"
"Do you have a guest room at your house?"
"..."
The Qin couple originally thought there was a lot of food, but as time went by, they no longer had this idea.
Every dish on the table challenged their taste buds and they couldn't stop eating.
And the consequence is... overeating.
When the delicious crucian carp soup was brought to the table, almost all the dishes were on the table. Only the bones of the deer were left, and even the pickles were not spared.
After the meal, Mrs. Qin calmly rubbed her stuffed belly and looked at her son with a strange look in her eyes.
Qin Zheng rubbed his arms subconsciously, "...Mom? If you have anything to say, please tell me?"
"Unfilial son."
"???"
Mrs. Qin ignored him and went for a walk in the yard with Cheng Xi.
Song Yan, who was behind him, drifted to his side and said in a resentful tone, "Mr. Qin, why did you come back to Shen's house and didn't say a word when you came back?"
If she had known it was so delicious, she would have come here on the first day she arrived at Lin'an Mansion!
Qin Zheng was startled when he heard this, and looked at his mother's back and suddenly realized.
In the afternoon, Mr. Qin and Shen Xingluo went to the study to talk. Qin Zheng, no longer tempted by the delicious food, returned home and followed him in. Mr. Xu ran out for a walk at some unknown time.
Cheng Xi took Nujuan to a high place behind the house. After climbing for a few minutes, they stopped at a high place. The Shen family's yard was originally on a high ground, but now one could see most of Shen's family village at a glance.
】
"My master and I rode a carriage all the way. Most other villages are very miserable, but this is completely different."
Mrs. Qin is not an ordinary housewife. She is also the mistress of the third bedroom of the Qin family and the aunt of the fifth prince. Naturally, she heard about the bandits during the snowstorm.
