Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 122

A good banquet made some people so restless that they even missed the scheduled lunch time. The first thing Yan Chengrui and Ling Jingxuan did after returning home was to tell Lao Song and the others to prepare for the banquet because there were too many people. The country is not like the big family that pays attention to different seats for men and women at seven years old. Ling Jingxuan asked people to place a special rectangular table in the spacious front yard. Women and children sat at the whole table, and men sat at five tables. , not counting the servants at home.

On the table, there are all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, all of which are meaty and oily. From time to time, there are a few delicate bamboo baskets placed not far away, with white and tender steamed buns and meat buns in them. There is a huge wooden steamer, and the white rice is mouth-watering. Such a generous meal is basically unique in the countryside, but no one present has the intention to move their chopsticks. They are all worried about another thing, which is Ling Jingxuan said about the plague, no matter how delicious the food is, life is not important!

"Thank you all for taking the time to come and help me heat up the house. I have troubled you a while ago, and I will offer you a toast with tea instead of wine. If there is any need for help in the future, I am afraid I will have to trouble you."

As if they didn't feel the almost eerie silence at all, Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui looked at each other, then nodded to their two younger brothers. The brothers stood up and raised their glasses to the guests, and after speaking, they raised their heads and took a sip in unison. After emptying the tea inside, Ling Jingxuan pretended to be puzzled and said after the two younger brothers sat down, "Why don't you drink it?"

Is the plague so terrible?Look at them all scared, as for?

"Ahem?? Brother Ling, is that woman really a plague?"

Everyone didn't feel embarrassed. The shopkeeper Zhang coughed twice to represent everyone's doubts in their hearts. Hundreds of people looked at him in unison. Ling Jingxuan smiled: "How can there be so many plagues? I'm lying Theirs, based on my diagnosis, Ling Jiang's probably suffered from some kind of skin disease, which is difficult to treat, but it should not be contagious. Don't worry, Brother Zhang. If you are afraid, I will prescribe it to you later. For the prescription for clearing away heat and detoxification, you just go to the pharmacy to grab two patches and take it."

In front of so many people, he would definitely not say that he injected the poison. Once the poison is implanted, it is very terrifying. In fact, it is not contagious at all, and it will not kill people. It is a poison specially designed to torture people. Bar.

"That's a good thing. It scared me to death. I really thought it was a plague. You don't know. Last time the plague in the town made people panic, it was scary."

"Haha."

Shopkeeper Zhang exaggeratedly patted his chest, and everyone who finally got the correct answer laughed at the same time. The banquet officially began, and the meaty dishes on the table whetted people's appetite. They all ate with satisfaction, and the women and children sat next to the table, which was also very lively. From time to time, the sound of fighting for food could be heard, and occasionally there was the cry of the little devil. The whole yard was indescribably lively. .

"Daddy, can we sit with you?"

Not long after, Ling Wen and Ling Wu came to the two of them pitifully, holding the bowls and chopsticks. They were originally the hosts at the women's and children's table, right? ?Some people speak badly, even if they eat badly, they still urinate and poop for their children right next to the table, even though the latrine is not far away, they still yell loudly when the grandma says a few words about her, they really can’t sit still up.

The small mouths of the two steamed buns could hang a chamber pot, Ling Jingxuan meaningfully glanced at the table not far away, moved his body and pulled them to sit between him and Yan Chengrui: "I just want someone to call you Well, from now on, Mr. Chu and Brother Yan will stay at home to teach you, temporarily saving you from the pain of running around every day, why don't you toast them with tea instead of wine?"

Seeing that they were afraid that he would scold them for not fulfilling their duties as little masters, Ling Jingxuan poured tea for them while talking, the attention of the two buns was instantly diverted, the pitiful grievance on their faces disappeared, and they both picked up the teacups Facing Chu Ci and his son who were sitting next to Ling Jingxuan: "Brother Chu Yan, thank you for your usual teaching, thank you for your hard work."

Both Baozi are sensible and extremely well-behaved, Chu Ci is cold and arrogant in front of everyone, and only in front of them will he show a loving smile.

Seeing this, Yan Shengrui quietly gave Ling Jingxuan a thumbs up from behind their backs. He was so powerful, he dispelled the little fear in their hearts with a few words, and Ling Jingxuan smiled lightly. How powerful is this?He just cared about the child.

"Daddy, this steamed fat sausage is delicious, and the sweet potato below is also delicious. Grandpa Zeng, Grandpa, you should try it too. Every time Daddy comes up with a delicious recipe!"

Xiao Baozi still didn't forget to greet everyone when he was eating. Everyone at the table couldn't help laughing at the oily mouth he ate, and indirectly felt that they thought it was weird at first, so they didn't dare to move their chopsticks. The dishes seemed to be really delicious, and everyone unanimously attacked the steamed fat intestines on the small wooden steamer.

"Well, it's really good, fat but not greasy, smooth and refreshing, Brother Ling, did you come up with this?"

As the shopkeeper of the restaurant, shopkeeper Zhang undoubtedly has the most say in terms of food. After tasting the sausage carefully, he put a piece of sweet potato at the bottom and put it in his mouth. A little greasy, if you decorate it a little more, it is enough to be one of their Xinyuan's signature dishes.

"I'm just talking about it. All the dishes are cooked by Mrs. Song and her servants. If shopkeeper Zhang likes it, you can eat more. The sweet and sour fish is also good, and the stewed fish, I added the stewed ingredients Put a few herbs in, taste it and see how it compares to your Xinyuan."

With a smile on his face, Ling Jingxuan enthusiastically introduced different dishes to him. Whenever he mentioned a dish, the shopkeeper Zhang’s eyes would follow him, and the chopsticks would follow. He couldn’t help showing a surprised expression every time. , the cooking skills of Ling Jingxuan's family chef are not inferior to their chefs. Although he has eaten everything except the steamed fat sausage, the taste here seems to be different. The taste is better than 01:30, The same dish, how do they do it?

"Brother Ling, can I meet your cook? These dishes are so good, I really want all the cooks in the restaurant to learn from her."

Putting down the chopsticks, shopkeeper Zhang said without hesitation that he and Ling Jingxuan were considered friends, and usually they would say whatever they wanted, and they would rarely hide it.

What Ling Jingxuan likes is also his straightforwardness, but? ?

"That can't be done. Mrs. Song and the others are eating in the kitchen. They have been busy all morning. Even if I am the master, I can't make them do whatever I want, right?"

Mischievously blinking, Ling Jingxuan purposely spoke speciously, and shopkeeper Zhang, who knew him somewhat, couldn't help but laugh: "You, you don't want to cheat me again, do you?"

"It's so ugly to say cheating. Cooking is also a skill, isn't it? Could it be that your restaurant's signature dishes can be taught to others casually? Shopkeeper Zhang, how about we talk about a business?"

As early as when he introduced the dishes to him uncharacteristically and enthusiastically, he had already set him up, and now he finally started to close the net. Yan Shengrui, who had seen it for a long time, couldn't help laughing secretly, and the shopkeeper Zhang who gradually understood, his forehead went dark, Has he been fooled by someone again?

"Uncle Zhang, you are so stupid. My father has always been unprofitable. Uncle Chu said that if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Don't you find it strange that he is so enthusiastic all of a sudden?"

It was rare for Ling Wen to show the innocence of a child. After speaking, he covered his mouth and kept laughing. Ling Wu, who was busy eating, didn't know what happened, but he still habitually agreed with his brother: "That's right, Uncle Zhang, apart from us, daddy won't be too enthusiastic about others, you don't even know this, no wonder you always let daddy plan."

Unexpectedly, I was rejected by two children under five years old one after another. Zhang Zhang's facial nerves fell into a state of collapse that had never been seen before, and he smiled calmly when he saw the instigator, which made his teeth itch even more. The father and son are definitely on purpose, for sure!

"Come on, I didn't see that your Uncle Zhang was about to go epileptic? Why don't you eat something soon."

On the other side, Yan Shengrui seemed to be kind, but the words of epilepsy pushed shopkeeper Zhang to the brink of collapse. He wanted to break up with the family, and four of them bullied one of them, which was too bullying.

Although the others didn't join in, you can tell from the smiles on their faces how happy they are. Shopkeeper Zhang almost exhausted all his self-control to restrain the twitching of his facial nerves, and said through gritted teeth: "Let's take it easy later. Can you talk about the head office?" Grandma, he must have owed them in his previous life.

"Of course it's okay. Okay, Brother Zhang, I'm just joking with you. Come on, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

It's almost the end of the game, Ling Jingxuan accepts it when he sees it is good, and takes the teacup first to serve as a respect. Today's banquet is good, but there is no wine. It's not that he is reluctant, but that drinking is easy to cause trouble, and today's guests are all bad guys. A coolie worker would be in trouble if something happened after drinking, so he didn't plan to prepare wine in the first place.

"It's almost there."

Shopkeeper Zhang is not a stingy person, and he is not angry at all, just a little depressed. Now he has apologized and muttered a little, and the matter is over.

"Uncle Cheng, can I offer you a toast?"

As the meal time got longer and longer, the atmosphere became more and more lively. While everyone was chatting, Chu Yan, who was sitting next to Chu Ci, leaned over and whispered something to him, and after getting his nod in agreement, he picked up the teacup Arriving beside Yan Shengrui, the handsome face that has not yet fully grown showed a little nervousness and awe. He is actually not familiar with this emperor uncle, because he is not in the imperial city most of the time. However, as long as it is a man, no matter what Young or old, they basically worship heroes, and he is naturally no exception. Therefore, rather than saying that he is afraid of him, it is better to say that he is in awe of him.

"Wait until your hands stop shaking."

Closing his eyes and sweeping his trembling hands lightly, Yan Shengrui frowned and said, he didn't know why he felt inexplicably upset, anyway, he just didn't like to see him showing any fear.

Hearing this, Chu Yan's face turned pale, and the hand holding the cup tightened reflexively, a wound flashed across his eyes, and he quickly covered it up again, Ling Jingxuan, who had a panoramic view of everything, gave Yan Shengrui a meaningful look, It seems that he does have a lot of instincts, even if he loses his memory, does he plan to cultivate him?

Chu Ci, who was also paying attention to them, tightened his grip on the cup, and then sighed helplessly. Could it be that Yan'er is destined to only go that way?So, if we win Sheng Rui's support this time, and there is another Ling Jingxuan who suddenly appeared, will the fate of Yan'er and the family be different?
