He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The sky was getting dark, and the large tables set up by the Lu family outside the courtyard were already full. The neighbors were chatting with each other, waiting for the banquet to begin.

"Brother Sheng is really capable. How many years has it been since our village had a scholar?"

"That's so far away, at least I've never seen one."

"I have long believed that Brother Sheng has a lot of potential. When several boys from our village went to private school together and came back together, he was the only one who could still study at home every day."

"Pull it down, you are an afterthought, this is not the time for you to say that Lu Shengguang is stupid at studying and can't help the family."

"Don't accuse me wrongly! I never said that!"

The protagonist of this scene, Lu Sheng, was pushed and insisted on letting him speak a few words. Lu Sheng really didn't know what to say.

You said the county school is good? Then you have to pass the Tongsheng test before you can get in cheaply.

How did you get into Tongsheng? Mainly because of talent. The other thing is to work hard. I was studying when you were in the fields, I was studying when you were fishing, I was studying when you were hunting, I was studying when you went out to play, and I was studying when you were teasing the little girl at the entrance of the village. You are already engaged and I am still studying. If I can’t pass the exam, who can pass the exam?

But there is no way to say this!

Lu Sheng looked at the person who asked him to speak a few words and asked with a headache: "What do you want me to say? What do you want to hear?"

The people below made a fuss: "It's a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and when the gold medal is named, I see that Lu Xiucai is not far away from being named on the gold list. When are you planning to have a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber?"

"It doesn't matter what I say!" Lu Sheng said: "I worked hard to be named on the gold list, but the flowers and candles in the bridal chamber are not just my own hard work."

There were boos below. Lu Sheng really didn't have much to say, so he ended his unnecessary speech by saying, "Everyone, eat well and drink well."

The rule here is to serve the dumplings first. The dumplings were served in plates, white, plump and steaming, which looked very pleasing to the eye. However, everyone just wanted to eat two and stopped using their chopsticks, mainly to save their stomachs and wait for the next dishes.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the big pot of food to arrive. Cauldron dishes are a common dish for banquets and are often made at home, so they are not considered fresh. But this big pot dish is really well cooked and the soup is rich in flavor.

“This big pot dish is so delicious!”

"Really, how can someone else make the same big pot dish so delicious?"

"Hahaha, if you are willing to put in meat, it will be delicious."

"Shut up and eat your food."

"Hey, what is this noodle-like thing?"

"I don't know, it's slippery and soft, what is it called?"

"I asked Mrs. Xu and she said it's called vermicelli. He makes it himself and there's no one to buy it from outside."

"Harm, I just have the ability."

The neighbors chatted and ate the vegetables. They all ate slowly without any hurry, and their hearts were longing for the eight bowls of the real protagonist.

After a while, today's protagonist Ba Dawan finally came on stage. There were eight bowls on the big tray, and each bowl was full of ingredients, including four meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes. The rich aroma that came out of the bowl went straight into people's noses.

The four meat dishes were simmered overnight and steamed for a long time. The skin was already crispy and the meat was tender, melting in your mouth. Gently pick up a piece. The top is the attractive reddish-brown skin. It trembles when touched. Underneath the smooth and tender skin is the meat with strong texture. You can even eat the skin and meat into your mouth. It requires tooth-stretching and is satisfying like never before.

After steaming the pork twice, the oil has been steamed out, making it fat but not greasy, soft and delicious. The pork belly has five layers. Under the fried brown skin, there are layers of fat and lean and then layers of fat and lean. Pick up a piece and eat it in your mouth. It's fat but not greasy but not thin. The aroma of firewood, meat and oil exploded in the mouth.

Steamed meatballs and cabbage meat rolls are probably considered vegetarian dishes among meat dishes. Once the same piece of meat is chopped into fillings, it immediately becomes a fresh and lovely taste. The meatballs were steamed to a soft state. When you pick one up and put it in your mouth, it easily breaks under your teeth without any resistance. It doesn't have the crispy appearance when it was just fried from the frying pan.

Steamed meatballs

The cabbage meat roll not only has the refreshing taste of meat filling, but is also wrapped in a layer of real and refreshing cabbage. The blanched and steamed cabbage has long lost its crisp texture, but what remains unchanged is its sweet taste. Bite through the cabbage wrapped in the outermost layer, and the meat filling inside will burst out with a mouthful of gravy. It's obviously a meat dish, but it tastes as fresh as a vegetable.

Cabbage meat rolls

The four vegetarian dishes are not inferior at all. After all, they are steamed with broth. Although you can't eat meat, your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat. After being steamed for a long time, the radish no longer has the crispy texture, but becomes soft and tender, and the soup has turned into the taste of meat; the kelp has the unique umami flavor of seafood, and has a soft and creamy texture. It is very chewy; the tofu has been fried and then steamed, and the crispy texture after deep-frying has long been lost. The crispy outer shell has become soft, but the inside is still very soft and waxy. The soup is trapped in the soft body, and it explodes when you take a bite. In the mouth; the most novel thing is the thing called vermicelli, which looks like transparent lasagna, but tastes nothing like it. Delicate, smooth and very elastic. The vermicelli itself has no taste, and it tastes wherever it is placed. The vermicelli in the steaming bowl and the vermicelli in the big pot have completely different tastes.

Four vegetarian dishes

The carefully cooked eight dishes instantly conquered the village, old and young, and everyone finally started eating with concentration.

"This eight-big bowl is so delicious."

"This elbow is so soft that you don't even need to bite it with your teeth. You can see that it took a lot of effort to make it."

“This braised pork is not greasy at all, it’s delicious.”

"Hahaha, how many pieces of meat can you eat in a year? Are you still tired of it?"

"I'm not saying it. No wonder someone can open a food shop in the county. It's really great."

"When your second grandfather's family invited a girl to prepare a banquet, they specially invited a chef from a restaurant in the town to prepare it. The food was not as delicious as this."

"Of course, it's a restaurant in the county. If it doesn't taste good, it would have been closed long ago! Who is a chef in this town?"

"Then we can still make a lot of money. That's the skill of opening restaurants in the county."

"Isn't that right? Eat quickly and don't talk about it."

As soon as the eight large bowls were served, everyone ate them all at a very fast speed. Lu Yan simply pulled Lu Sheng to find a place to sit too. You can't eat at your own table without serving food.

Lu Yan looked at a table where Boss Lu and various relatives of the Lu family who had nothing to do with each other were drinking. The other tables had almost finished their dishes, so a few chopsticks were moved at their table. Lu Yan directly pushed Lu Sheng over and said in his ear: "Go to that table. They drink and eat food slowly. You go over and eat more."

Lu Sheng nodded, turned around and headed towards his father.

Lu Yan turned around and originally wanted to find Mrs. Xu to have some food in the kitchen, but Huang Hui grabbed her. The aunt's family also came. The aunt brought her two children. When she saw Lu Yan coming over, she quickly picked up vegetables for her, including an elbow, two slices of meat, and three cabbage rolls. She turned around and gave her another bowl of dumplings: "Eat quickly, eat quickly. , you must be hungry after a busy night."

Lu Yan: I am so touched that I finally got to eat the meal I made after working all day.
