In Huaicheng, which is close to Kyoto, it is the New Year's Eve, and every house has red blessing characters and bright couplets on it. Playing on the ground, the idle women also stood on the porch with a smile and watched all this.
Seeing the appearance of a timid child lighting a firecracker with sparkling eyes while being afraid, everyone was amused again. In the kitchen, the boys were busy hitting the back of their heads one by one, but they couldn't help but hear the laughter outside. He pursed his lips and smiled.
Afterwards, I picked up the prepared dishes and poured them into the oil pan. Suddenly, I remembered the sound of sizzling, and the whole kitchen wafted an attractive aroma, which was the smell of the year.
But when all living beings are bustling with excitement, the Huai'an Marquis Mansion located in the center of Huaicheng is gloomy.
Huai'an Hou Mansion, the red lanterns that were originally prepared for the Chinese New Year under the porch are scattered on the ground at this moment. The whole mansion is silent. Don't dare to put on a smile, let alone the master of the house.
Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, they were all sitting in the main hall with sad faces. The tea on the table had already run out of heat, but none of the servants dared to change it.
The atmosphere in the whole room seemed to have frozen, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe. There were only slight breathing sounds and the sound of candles cracking, and the whistling wind came from outside, accompanied by the sound of tree branches breaking, "Kacha " With a clear sound, the woman sitting at the top raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Following the woman's movements, the whole room seemed to be lifted, everyone's breathing became a little messy, but only for a moment, the woman looked straight out of the window, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip .
The cold and bitter tea slipped into his throat, causing Huai Anhou, who had always swallowed gold and jade, to frown. He looked coldly at the servant standing beside him like a wooden stake, and did not speak.
Logically speaking, the servants of high-ranking families are the most able to read people's faces, but all the servants standing beside them are pale and staring straight out of the window, as if they are waiting for something.
On the other side, Zhengjun saw his wife took a sip of tea without changing her face, and took a sip of it himself, and then immediately turned cold: "The water is so cold, why don't you go change one for your lord?! "
Zhengjun's voice was exceptionally clear in the silence, accompanied by gusts of wind, which made everyone shudder unconsciously.
"Zheng, Zhengjun, please, please spare the lives of the villains! Please!" A group of servants fell to their knees in an instant, crying and begging: "Then, that thing, maybe it will be outside! The villain , the villain really dare not, dare not go! Please forgive us!"
Zhengjun's complexion changed slightly, and then, before Zhengjun could say anything, Huai Anhou, who was sitting at the top, said in a flat tone: "Okay, don't embarrass them. When the thing is seen, it is coming soon. Even you and I are afraid, let alone them?"
Zhengjun immediately put away his cold expression, and became the same as before, sitting upright at the head, with a slight smile on his face: "I'm not afraid that the wife master won't be used to this cold tea, it's too bitter. Well, it's still New Year's Eve, and the wife-lord is expected to suffer such a crime, just thinking about it makes my heart hurt!"
After Zhengjun chanted and beat, the side-juns and servants who watched below unconsciously curled their lips, Huai'anhou glanced at him calmly, and said lightly: "I understand your intentions, you just have to An Xin, it's just some bitter tea, but it's thirty today, so I've wronged you."
As soon as Huai Anhou said this, everyone quickly stood up and saluted: "My lord (wife master) is serious!"
Just when the originally deserted room became popular due to the people's actions, a gust of wind blew open the originally fastened gate, and the cold wind poured in instantly, and everyone felt like cold water pouring on their bodies Usually, subconsciously wrapped the clothes around her body tightly.
The masters are alright, there are warm fox furs to keep out the cold wind, but the servants can only wear light cotton clothes and stand shyly by the side.
The door was kept open, and the cold wind blew in, but no one dared to move.
Gu Du looked at the door blankly, as if waiting for something, but after a while, there was nothing outside the door except for the cool breeze.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, including Hou Huai'an.
"Zhiyue, go and close the door." Hou Huai'an was still staring at the door, although his body was slightly relaxed, his eyes were still serious.
Zhiyue is the chief steward of the Marquis of Huai'an, and an old man who has been with the Marquis of Huai'an since he was a child. His lord's words are flattering, and Zhiyue dare not disobey. Besides, she has nothing to be afraid of, but just That's all.
Thinking like this, Zhiyue replied calmly, and then walked towards the gate.
When Zhiyue's hand touched the door, Huai'anhou's whole body tensed up again. The door of the main hall opened and closed frequently, and there was only a slight sound when it closed, but even such a sound made everyone feel nervous. .
The door was slowly closed until the sound of the door bolt hitting, everyone relaxed.
"Looks like that thing won't come today. If you want me to tell you, it's New Year's Eve, and the neighbors are setting off firecrackers and fireworks. You can scare that thing to death even if you scare it!"
Sitting under Huai'an Hou's left hand, the second servant, Wu Ziqi said, it is natural that he is extremely favored to be able to sit in this seat in the main hall.
Huai Anhou glanced at him lightly, approval flashed in his eyes, and then nodded slightly: "Ziqi's words are reasonable, we didn't expect that thing a few days ago, maybe he was afraid of these things."
"It's almost midnight now. If you think about it, it won't come. You guys go down and get ready. Everyone have a good New Year's Eve dinner, and get rid of the bad luck!"
"Zhiyue, pass on my words, the upper and lower monthly rules in the mansion are doubled, the servants are tripled, the side lords are five times, and the lords are the right ones."
When Huai Anhou said this, he paused, then looked at Zhengjun and said, "Last time you liked that ancient book in my study, how about I ask Zhiyue to fetch it for you?"
The smile on the corner of Zhengjun's lips could hardly be suppressed. This is the only reward from the wife-lord. At that moment, Zhengjun glanced at the people below implicitly, then stood up respectfully and said, "Thank you, wife-lord, for the reward!"
These lowly slaves, why is he so important in the wife-lord's heart? !
As soon as Marquis Huai An said the words, the servants in the main hall had joyful smiles on their faces, poured out the auspicious words as if they didn't need money, and then they opened the door swiftly and went to the kitchen to order the cook to cook.
The whole house seemed to come alive after the closing of the door. The servants in the main hall filed out, the red lanterns in the corridor were also hung up, and the playful servants and maids lit up with fireworks. The house is full of festive flavor of the Chinese New Year.
Not long after, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was prepared in the kitchen, with everything from chicken, duck and fish, to rare ones in winter, and several large plates of juicy vegetables were fried, all of which were hung for dozens of hours The whole room is filled with the tempting aroma of food.
Seeing such a table of steaming food, Huai Anhou finally showed a smile on his face: "Everyone sit down, today is the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, it's time to celebrate, everyone, don't be restrained, Don't let this rare good time live up to you, move your chopsticks."
After Huai'an Hou finished speaking, he picked up a piece of fish. Seeing this, Zheng Jun and Side Jun began to move their chopsticks, but the chopsticks of these two people fought at the same place, which was just caught by Huai Anhou. Fish maw there.
Side Jun glanced at Zheng Jun, and saw Zheng Jun's originally dignified face, with a pair of black eyes staring straight at him, forced by Zheng Jun's eyes, Side Jun unconsciously loosened his strength, and caught the fish tail. I took a piece of fish.
Hou Huai'an had a panoramic view of this scene, but she turned her gaze aside expressionlessly, and started to eat as if nothing had happened. After all, she hadn't eaten for most of the day because she was afraid of that thing coming today!
Just as everyone was eating and drinking in a relaxed atmosphere, the door was blown open by a violent gust of wind again, but this time, everyone didn't take it seriously. Zhiyue was preparing vegetables for Huai'an, so he was about to close the door , then the winking servant approached with a smile:
"Butler Zhiyue, you just need to serve the adults, the little ones go and close the door!"
Zhiyue responded dispensably, and saw the man walking through the closed door with joy on his face, but the moment the man put his hand on the door, his whole body trembled violently uncontrollably.
Afterwards, the servant turned around, with a strange smile on his face, and hurried to the dining table, picked up the plate of fish, and slammed it down, Zhengjun's face was scratched by the splattered tiles, causing him to pat the table. He got up, but in the next second, he felt like being cramped, and sat back limply.
The servant raised a big smile in the direction of Marquis Huai'an, big enough to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, matched with the bright candlelight, it looked like a cold light, it looked strange and terrifying.
Afterwards, the servant held a piece of broken porcelain and stabbed it into his neck fiercely, then pulled it out violently, staring straight at Huai Anhou's direction, and slowly fell to the ground, the blood spattered Zhengjun's head was all over his face, and then Zhengjun screamed uncontrollably.
"what!"
Following Zhengjun's scream, everyone who was sitting around the table hurriedly stood up, and crowded around Huai'anhou one by one:
"Yes yes yes that thing!!!"
"My lord, save this slave!"
"That thing is coming! That thing is coming!"
"Mom! I don't want to be here! Mother save me!"
……
Huai Anhou put his arms around his prostitute, and looked out the door with cold eyes: "What the hell are you?!"
In response to her, there were only endless rumors.
Just when the atmosphere became stalemate, a piece of paper flew towards Huai Anhou like an arrow at an extraordinary speed.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Huai Anhou suddenly pushed the prostitute away, and took the piece of paper.
Then the wind stopped.
Huai Anhou lowered his head to look, and saw the words written on the paper seemed to be written in blood, which made people shudder when they saw it. Huai Anhou scanned the contents of the paper, and his brows furrowed instantly.
Afterwards, Huai Anhou slowly let out a breath as if thinking of something, and said:
"Zhiyue, send someone to invite the owner of the prayer building, I hope, she has real skills, this time, I can pray for peace! However, if she is a person who seeks fame, hmph..."
Zhiyue took the order, walked towards the wide open gate, and walked out fearlessly. On the night of the New Year's Eve, a lightly dressed figure appeared in Huaicheng, carrying the bronze medal of Huai'an Hou Mansion, towards the lake. Heading towards the city.
On the other side, in Liujia Village, Mother Wei and Huang Su had been busy all afternoon, and finally prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner just as night fell. Meat dishes, but they don't smell as good as Wei's!
Wei Yu and Shao Qing, the two kitchen killers, had only been in for a while before they were kicked out by Wei's mother, who disliked the trouble, and handed them a bowl of deep-fried oil residue and small fish.
Wei Yu and Shao Qing looked at me and I looked at you. After looking at each other for a while, they entered the main hall. In the room, the charcoal fire was burning in the small red clay stove beside it, and the teapot lid on it was constantly being steamed. It was lifted, and there was a gurgling sound. Shao Qing walked over and made a pot of tea. Wei Yu put the fried food that Mother Wei had just stuffed for her on the table. Shao Qing came over with the teapot smiling:
"It's been a long time since I ate a meal made by my mother, I really miss me!"
Wei Yu twisted a fried golden fish and stuffed it into his mouth. It was fragrant and crispy. The fishy smell was not very strong, but it tasted extremely crispy. Wei Yu chewed the small fish carefully and swallowed it. Only then did he smile to see Shao Qing:
"I said why does grandma like you so much, look at this sweet little mouth."
"Ayu will talk nonsense!" Shao Qing glared at Wei Yu, and then ate a small fish himself. Seeing human appetite, Wei Yu couldn't help curling his lips.
Afterwards, Wei Yu looked around and saw no one around, and then said with a smile: "Am I talking nonsense? Well, why don't Xiaoqing let me taste it, is your little mouth sweet?"
Shao Qing gave Wei Yu a white look, then poured a cup of tea for Wei Yu, and said while pouring the tea, "If Grandma sees it, what should I do?! At home, Ayu, please be quiet!"
"Although this fried food tastes good, it's easy to get tired if you eat too much! Ah Yu, why don't you drink a cup of tea to relieve the greasy feeling."
Facing Shang Weiyu's green eyes, although Shao Qing didn't understand what it meant, she felt trembling unconsciously. Ever since Chen Yuanwai delivered the brochure that day, Ayu has become weird!
Wei Yu didn't speak any more, and while watching the unpredictable changes in the water vapor on the boiling kettle, he ate food one after another, that cozy appearance looked so chic, even Shao Qing couldn't help but look sideways, Ayu bullied her , she felt ashamed, and Ayu didn't look at her, and she felt like a hundred claws were scratching her heart, uncomfortable.
Shao Qing's mood was a little depressed because of this, and on the other side, Wei Yu seemed to casually set his eyes on Shao Qing, but if you looked closely, you would find that the tenderness in Wei Yu's eyes was sticky, sticking to Shao Qing's body , hovering around Shao Qing's body, it seems that when a beast sees its prey, it is thinking about where to bite.
But Shao Qing didn't notice Wei Yu's eyes at this moment.
After a while, Mother Wei walked in with a smile on her face: "The food is ready, you must be hungry!"
Wei Yu shook his head and stood up: "It's okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll serve the bowl!"
Shao Qing swallowed the food in a hurry, and added: "I'm going to set the chopsticks!"
The appearance of the two women singing and the wife following, Mother Wei smiled and rolled her eyes, and even the wrinkles around her eyes had increased, but Mother Wei didn't mind at all, and kept saying: "Good, good! It's not hard! Mom looks at it now. Seeing you like this, in this heart, don't mention how comfortable it is!"
The three of them walked into the kitchen talking and laughing, and quickly set up a large table for the New Year's Eve dinner that whetted the appetite. Although it was winter, the red on the plate was red and the green was green. nice.
In the center is Weiyu's favorite squirrel mandarin fish. The fish meat is cut into distinct shapes by an excellent knife. As soon as it was poured, the fish squeaked like a squirrel, which was very interesting.
Wei's mother has been paying attention to Wei Yu's eyes. Seeing Wei Yu's eyes brighten, the smile on her face immediately became stronger. On the side, after Huang Su helped arrange the New Year's Eve dinner, she stood aside with a smile, and said to Wei Yu: : "This squirrel mandarin fish dish was specially made by the old Patriarch for you! Try it!"
Wei Yu hurriedly went to see Mother Wei, only to see that Mother Wei was sitting on the spot looking at her with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Ah Yu, hurry up and try it! Let's see if the mother's cooking is delicious! Thanks to you As for the butler, my mother is not very good at knife skills, thanks to the help of Butler Huang! I didn't expect a butler to be so good at cooking, Ayu, you found a treasure!"
When Huang Su heard Mother Wei's praise, she stood by with her arms tied and kept smiling. God knows she only likes to eat, not to cook. If it wasn't for Yunyun who spends all day in the kitchen, she had no choice but to follow her into the kitchen. And I don't want Yunyun to work too hard alone, and with the whole day's influence, this cooking skill is almost perfect!
Seeing the aggrieved look in Huang Su's eyes, Wei Yu pursed his lips and smiled: "Mom, move your chopsticks first, and Huang Su can also sit together. There are few people around, so it's lively like this."
Of course Huang Su didn't dare, but when she saw Wei Yu's face darken, she sat down obediently. For many years afterward, Huang Su would never forget this New Year's Eve dinner, and would blow it up to her children and grandchildren. The only time she ate at the same table with the bosses!
Shao Qing saw that Wei Yu had the dishes made by Wei's mother, and his eyes turned red. If she had a mother and a father, would they wash their hands and make soup for her?
This kind of emotion disappeared in an instant, but Wei Yu was keenly aware of Shao Qing's abnormality. Ask Xiaoqing.
Mother Wei picked up the braised pork in front of her with her chopsticks, and then smiled to see Wei Yu. Under the watchful eyes of Mother Wei, Wei Yu picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. The skin is crispy, but it melts in the mouth when you eat it. The sweet and sour sauce slides into the mouth with the fresh and tender fish, with a unique taste. The tenderness of the fish has never been covered by the sweet and sour sauce. On the contrary, it makes it more flavorful, and it makes people love it.
Wei Yu didn't stop, and took several mouthfuls in a row, and then came back to his senses, and praised Wei's mother: "I have never discovered that my mother has such cooking skills before! The fish melts in the mouth, and the sauce is a little bit more." If it’s too sour, if it’s less, it’s too sweet, it’s really good!”
Mother Wei's face was flushed by Wei Yu's praise, and then she said embarrassedly: "It's Guan Huang who taught me well, I, I usually just do it like this!"
"That's mother, you have talent!" Wei Yu continued to praise Wei Mu, and then, Wei Yu seemed to remember something, and said:
"Mother, do you like to learn how to cook? If you want to learn how to cook, I still have two cooks with excellent skills. Why don't you go back with us this time?"
Mother Wei was at a loss for what Wei Yu praised, but after hearing Wei Yu's suggestion, she was stunned.
She, Wei Rong, grew up in this Liujia Village since she was a child, and she has only been to Zecheng City as far as she is, and she only knows to plan food in the soil all day long, never thinking about what she likes or dislikes.
Of course, she hasn't been praised so much for today's dish. Do you like cooking?Mother Wei thought, maybe she likes it, because she didn't want to spoil the pork she bought at a high price, so she studied carefully and made the braised pork that Huang Su praised endlessly, but most of them were trapped by their families in the past , Survival is worrying, so how can we talk about liking?
Mother Wei rubbed the corner of her clothes cautiously, glanced at Wei Yu and said, "If I go, will I cause you trouble?"
Wei Yu saw Mother Wei's complexion changing several times, and thought that what was wrong with Mother Wei, but when she heard Mother Wei's question, Wei Yu smiled, with an extremely soft expression on her face:
"I have only had you as a mother since I was a child. If you are willing to live with me, I am too happy!"
Wei Yu's words had a double meaning, Wei's mother was stunned when she heard Wei Yu's words, and then the love in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.
On the other side, Shao Qing calmed down her emotions early, seeing that Wei's mother hadn't agreed yet, she also smiled and said coquettishly:
"Grandma, Ah Yu has a mother like you, but I have nothing, and I want you to go too, how much you love me!"
Wei's mother was so coaxed by Shao Qing that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear. She looked left and right. The children are so sensible. Wei's mother responded with a smile:
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!"
After Wei Yu saw that Mother Wei agreed to come down, she felt that the invisible barrier between herself and Mother Wei suddenly shattered. Mother Wei didn't want to live with her in Zecheng before, and she didn't force Mother Wei. Now Seeing Wei's mother agreeing so happily, Wei Yu felt that the relationship between herself and Wei's mother was one step closer. With such a mother who loves her, Wei Yu only felt sweet in her heart, and again Picking up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish that Wei's mother specially made for her just now, she felt that she could not help but feel joy when she ate it with the sweet and sour taste.
Huang Su is also a smart person. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, he said some funny things right away, which made everyone at the table laugh again. The whole atmosphere looked relaxed and warm.
Seeing the appearance of a timid child lighting a firecracker with sparkling eyes while being afraid, everyone was amused again. In the kitchen, the boys were busy hitting the back of their heads one by one, but they couldn't help but hear the laughter outside. He pursed his lips and smiled.
Afterwards, I picked up the prepared dishes and poured them into the oil pan. Suddenly, I remembered the sound of sizzling, and the whole kitchen wafted an attractive aroma, which was the smell of the year.
But when all living beings are bustling with excitement, the Huai'an Marquis Mansion located in the center of Huaicheng is gloomy.
Huai'an Hou Mansion, the red lanterns that were originally prepared for the Chinese New Year under the porch are scattered on the ground at this moment. The whole mansion is silent. Don't dare to put on a smile, let alone the master of the house.
Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, they were all sitting in the main hall with sad faces. The tea on the table had already run out of heat, but none of the servants dared to change it.

"Zhiyue, go and close the door." Hou Huai'an was still staring at the door, although his body was slightly relaxed, his eyes were still serious.

"That thing is coming! That thing is coming!"
"Mom! I don't want to be here! Mother save me!"
……

Wei Yu and Shao Qing, the two kitchen killers, had only been in for a while before they were kicked out by Wei's mother, who disliked the trouble, and handed them a bowl of deep-fried oil residue and small fish.
Wei Yu and Shao Qing looked at me and I looked at you. After looking at each other for a while, they entered the main hall. In the room, the charcoal fire was burning in the small red clay stove beside it, and the teapot lid on it was constantly being steamed. It was lifted, and there was a gurgling sound. Shao Qing walked over and made a pot of tea. Wei Yu put the fried food that Mother Wei had just stuffed for her on the table. Shao Qing came over with the teapot smiling:
"It's been a long time since I ate a meal made by my mother, I really miss me!"
Wei Yu twisted a fried golden fish and stuffed it into his mouth. It was fragrant and crispy. The fishy smell was not very strong, but it tasted extremely crispy. Wei Yu chewed the small fish carefully and swallowed it. Only then did he smile to see Shao Qing:
"I said why does grandma like you so much, look at this sweet little mouth."
"Ayu will talk nonsense!" Shao Qing glared at Wei Yu, and then ate a small fish himself. Seeing human appetite, Wei Yu couldn't help curling his lips.
Afterwards, Wei Yu looked around and saw no one around, and then said with a smile: "Am I talking nonsense? Well, why don't Xiaoqing let me taste it, is your little mouth sweet?"
Shao Qing gave Wei Yu a white look, then poured a cup of tea for Wei Yu, and said while pouring the tea, "If Grandma sees it, what should I do?! At home, Ayu, please be quiet!"
"Although this fried food tastes good, it's easy to get tired if you eat too much! Ah Yu, why don't you drink a cup of tea to relieve the greasy feeling."
Facing Shang Weiyu's green eyes, although Shao Qing didn't understand what it meant, she felt trembling unconsciously. Ever since Chen Yuanwai delivered the brochure that day, Ayu has become weird!
Wei Yu didn't speak any more, and while watching the unpredictable changes in the water vapor on the boiling kettle, he ate food one after another, that cozy appearance looked so chic, even Shao Qing couldn't help but look sideways, Ayu bullied her , she felt ashamed, and Ayu didn't look at her, and she felt like a hundred claws were scratching her heart, uncomfortable.
Shao Qing's mood was a little depressed because of this, and on the other side, Wei Yu seemed to casually set his eyes on Shao Qing, but if you looked closely, you would find that the tenderness in Wei Yu's eyes was sticky, sticking to Shao Qing's body , hovering around Shao Qing's body, it seems that when a beast sees its prey, it is thinking about where to bite.
But Shao Qing didn't notice Wei Yu's eyes at this moment.
After a while, Mother Wei walked in with a smile on her face: "The food is ready, you must be hungry!"
Wei Yu shook his head and stood up: "It's okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll serve the bowl!"
Shao Qing swallowed the food in a hurry, and added: "I'm going to set the chopsticks!"
The appearance of the two women singing and the wife following, Mother Wei smiled and rolled her eyes, and even the wrinkles around her eyes had increased, but Mother Wei didn't mind at all, and kept saying: "Good, good! It's not hard! Mom looks at it now. Seeing you like this, in this heart, don't mention how comfortable it is!"
The three of them walked into the kitchen talking and laughing, and quickly set up a large table for the New Year's Eve dinner that whetted the appetite. Although it was winter, the red on the plate was red and the green was green. nice.
In the center is Weiyu's favorite squirrel mandarin fish. The fish meat is cut into distinct shapes by an excellent knife. As soon as it was poured, the fish squeaked like a squirrel, which was very interesting.
Wei's mother has been paying attention to Wei Yu's eyes. Seeing Wei Yu's eyes brighten, the smile on her face immediately became stronger. On the side, after Huang Su helped arrange the New Year's Eve dinner, she stood aside with a smile, and said to Wei Yu: : "This squirrel mandarin fish dish was specially made by the old Patriarch for you! Try it!"
Wei Yu hurriedly went to see Mother Wei, only to see that Mother Wei was sitting on the spot looking at her with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Ah Yu, hurry up and try it! Let's see if the mother's cooking is delicious! Thanks to you As for the butler, my mother is not very good at knife skills, thanks to the help of Butler Huang! I didn't expect a butler to be so good at cooking, Ayu, you found a treasure!"
When Huang Su heard Mother Wei's praise, she stood by with her arms tied and kept smiling. God knows she only likes to eat, not to cook. If it wasn't for Yunyun who spends all day in the kitchen, she had no choice but to follow her into the kitchen. And I don't want Yunyun to work too hard alone, and with the whole day's influence, this cooking skill is almost perfect!
Seeing the aggrieved look in Huang Su's eyes, Wei Yu pursed his lips and smiled: "Mom, move your chopsticks first, and Huang Su can also sit together. There are few people around, so it's lively like this."
Of course Huang Su didn't dare, but when she saw Wei Yu's face darken, she sat down obediently. For many years afterward, Huang Su would never forget this New Year's Eve dinner, and would blow it up to her children and grandchildren. The only time she ate at the same table with the bosses!
Shao Qing saw that Wei Yu had the dishes made by Wei's mother, and his eyes turned red. If she had a mother and a father, would they wash their hands and make soup for her?
This kind of emotion disappeared in an instant, but Wei Yu was keenly aware of Shao Qing's abnormality. Ask Xiaoqing.
Mother Wei picked up the braised pork in front of her with her chopsticks, and then smiled to see Wei Yu. Under the watchful eyes of Mother Wei, Wei Yu picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. The skin is crispy, but it melts in the mouth when you eat it. The sweet and sour sauce slides into the mouth with the fresh and tender fish, with a unique taste. The tenderness of the fish has never been covered by the sweet and sour sauce. On the contrary, it makes it more flavorful, and it makes people love it.
Wei Yu didn't stop, and took several mouthfuls in a row, and then came back to his senses, and praised Wei's mother: "I have never discovered that my mother has such cooking skills before! The fish melts in the mouth, and the sauce is a little bit more." If it’s too sour, if it’s less, it’s too sweet, it’s really good!”
Mother Wei's face was flushed by Wei Yu's praise, and then she said embarrassedly: "It's Guan Huang who taught me well, I, I usually just do it like this!"
"That's mother, you have talent!" Wei Yu continued to praise Wei Mu, and then, Wei Yu seemed to remember something, and said:
"Mother, do you like to learn how to cook? If you want to learn how to cook, I still have two cooks with excellent skills. Why don't you go back with us this time?"
Mother Wei was at a loss for what Wei Yu praised, but after hearing Wei Yu's suggestion, she was stunned.
She, Wei Rong, grew up in this Liujia Village since she was a child, and she has only been to Zecheng City as far as she is, and she only knows to plan food in the soil all day long, never thinking about what she likes or dislikes.
Of course, she hasn't been praised so much for today's dish. Do you like cooking?Mother Wei thought, maybe she likes it, because she didn't want to spoil the pork she bought at a high price, so she studied carefully and made the braised pork that Huang Su praised endlessly, but most of them were trapped by their families in the past , Survival is worrying, so how can we talk about liking?
Mother Wei rubbed the corner of her clothes cautiously, glanced at Wei Yu and said, "If I go, will I cause you trouble?"
Wei Yu saw Mother Wei's complexion changing several times, and thought that what was wrong with Mother Wei, but when she heard Mother Wei's question, Wei Yu smiled, with an extremely soft expression on her face:
"I have only had you as a mother since I was a child. If you are willing to live with me, I am too happy!"
Wei Yu's words had a double meaning, Wei's mother was stunned when she heard Wei Yu's words, and then the love in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.
On the other side, Shao Qing calmed down her emotions early, seeing that Wei's mother hadn't agreed yet, she also smiled and said coquettishly:
"Grandma, Ah Yu has a mother like you, but I have nothing, and I want you to go too, how much you love me!"
Wei's mother was so coaxed by Shao Qing that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear. She looked left and right. The children are so sensible. Wei's mother responded with a smile:
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!"
After Wei Yu saw that Mother Wei agreed to come down, she felt that the invisible barrier between herself and Mother Wei suddenly shattered. Mother Wei didn't want to live with her in Zecheng before, and she didn't force Mother Wei. Now Seeing Wei's mother agreeing so happily, Wei Yu felt that the relationship between herself and Wei's mother was one step closer. With such a mother who loves her, Wei Yu only felt sweet in her heart, and again Picking up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish that Wei's mother specially made for her just now, she felt that she could not help but feel joy when she ate it with the sweet and sour taste.
Huang Su is also a smart person. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, he said some funny things right away, which made everyone at the table laugh again. The whole atmosphere looked relaxed and warm.
