When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

"Miss Darcy, is the food ready?"

It was the first time for Peng Qi to come out of the kitchen and enter the dining room openly when all the gentlemen and ladies were there, instead of being like a mouse who was not allowed to go out except before seven o'clock in the morning, for fear of being seen and punished.

She silently recited the words that Qing Niang had instructed in the kitchen over and over in her heart, and kept poking her head out the door nervously, for fear of missing the appointed time for the banquet.

This appearance made Qingniang very funny, so she had no choice but to try to make her relax by joking while arranging the plate, so as not to faint from nervousness before showing her face in front of the master's house.

"I just want you to ask about the banquet. You are so nervous. If you don't know, you think I'm going to let you go to the battlefield disguised as a man!"

Peng Qi forced a smile, she still looked pitiful, but she was not a ignorant person, of course she was grateful to Qing Niang for promoting her, and only pleaded pitifully for her jokes, without saying a word.

Qing Niang couldn't help feeling pity for this child, although he looked tall, he was actually only 14 years old!

On the contrary, Sarah, who was holding a stick embossed pattern, snorted from her nose when she saw this, and muttered in a low voice: "There were many poor people in Ramsgate back then, and you didn't feel sorry for this or that. Why do you treat Peng Qi differently?"

Qing Niang smiled and gave her a sideways look, knowing that Sara was just a taste, so there was no need to coax her, and she would be fine after a while.

Peng Qi, who was at the door, didn't notice the eyebrow-eye lawsuit at all, and still held her breath and kept poking at the door frequently.

Seeing that everyone sat down at the dining table, Peng Qi came out of the kitchen in a hurry, patted the non-existent dust on her clothes, and carefully asked Miss Darcy's opinion first according to Qing Niang's instructions.

Sitting between Darcy and Stutt, Wu Zhao calmly shook out the tablecloth and spread it on his lap, as if he didn't realize the difference between the dark-faced Darcy on the left and the calm Stuart on the right. The undercurrent is raging.

"Is it time? It's time to start." Wu Zhao was a little surprised that it was Peng Qi who came out instead of Qingniang or Sara, but it was a trivial matter. She nodded to Peng Qi with a smile, "Serve the dishes in order."

During the waiting period, Peng Qi was so nervous that she scratched her toes. When she heard Wu Zhao's order, she felt amnesty and quickly nodded in response, "Yes, let's serve the food and start the banquet."

She slipped into the kitchen in small steps with her skirt in her hands, and shouted, "Miss Darcy ordered a feast!"

The kitchen immediately became busy, and the maids brought from Pemberley methodically picked up the appetizers covered with silver lids, lined up in two rows, and walked briskly from the kitchen to the dining room.

Qing Niang took the towel and wiped her hands carefully, then patted Peng Qi's shoulder with a smile, and said encouragingly: "You did a good job, then help me to see if there are any omissions in the dinner dishes, or you can keep an eye on them. Lu Zi, don’t boil the soup on top.”

Peng Qi quickly agreed, and trotted to the stove, staring at the soup pot on the stove, as if some treasure could pop out of it.

Sara secretly rolled her eyes. When Qingniang passed by her, she acted casually.

She patted her waist gently, and teased in a low voice: "Why are you so angry with a child, your majesty will be waiting for your dessert later!"

Sara was furious at first, and wanted to shake off Qingniang's hand, but after hearing this, she somehow became angry, curled her lips, and replied in a low voice, "I don't care about you like you!"

After Qing Niang coaxed her, seeing the maids lined up in two rows at the door and looking at her, she hurriedly suppressed the smile on her face, and said seriously: "Go, serve the appetizers!"

The maids responded in unison, and stepped into the dining room from the kitchen with neat steps, neatly placing the appetizers in front of the ladies and gentlemen at the dining table.

Another line of maids followed closely, and placed a tall wine glass on the right hand side of each person on the table. There were two round, bright red cherries in the glass. Honey-like syrup.

As soon as Qing Niang clapped her hands, the maids moved in response, and took out long-necked brown wine bottles from nowhere.

Qing Niang signaled the maids to open the lids of the appetizers, and introduced with a smile: "Today's dinner is all oriental dishes-this is cold dish Bazhen, originally called Wangchuan Sample. Each plate has different scenes, and the scenes are different. , Anchovies, sauce, melons, and vegetables are assembled into different scenes."

All the people present except Wu Zhao looked so shocked that they didn't know what to say, and Hester pushed the plate forward carefully for fear of knocking it over.

Bingley stammered and pointed to the sculpture in front of him, and asked in disbelief, "Is this an appetizer?"

No wonder he asked this question, because the cold dish in front of him looked too much like a work of art rather than an appetizer!

The plate in front of me is made of vegetable leaves, and rows of biscuit fences are planted along the edge. Along the inside is a path covered with white "snowflakes", and at the end is a quaint manor house covered in "white snow". See the shadow of Netherfield.

Bingley even noticed that there were busy servants in brown dress scattered here and there. He carefully touched one of the little figures with a fork, and asked questions as if holding his breath for fear of blowing him down. , "These... are all appetizers?"

"Yes, but the scenery is not the scenery of the East, but the surrounding scenery of Pemberley's farm and pasture and Darcy's villa in Ramsgate. It is all taken from the paintings of the lady in the past two years, a total of ten paintings."

Elizabeth heard the words and quickly looked at the plate in front of her carefully. The sculpture in front of her looked bigger than the scene in front of Bentley. The plate was surrounded by a blue lake and lush "trees". It's a summer scene.

The most conspicuous thing on the plate is the five-story building: retro-style cylindrical columns, ornate reliefs, and wooden windows painted iron gray—it is a grand-looking manor.

"This is..." Elizabeth looked at Wu Zhao with some doubts, her heart suddenly moved, and she asked tentatively with some hesitation, "Georgiana, is this your home?"

Wu Zhao glanced at Elizabeth's plate, and couldn't help laughing: "Elizabeth's

Good luck.This is indeed Pemberley Manor in Derbyshire—it is also the place where my brother and I grew up. Pemberley Manor in summer is extremely beautiful, but it is a pity that this sculpture cannot restore it. "

Now it's not just Elizabeth, even Caroline who is sitting next to her can't help but look into Elizabeth's plate again and again, feeling a sour taste in her heart.

After all, the plate arrangement in front of her is not only exquisite and cannot be compared with Pemberley Manor, it is just a piece of blue water, that is, soup with added color, and the meaning cannot be compared. Caroline put her heart on it. Darcy has been around for a long time, and getting the Pemberley carving means something else to her.

It's a pity that Elizabeth didn't realize the jealousy of her tablemate, and she was still praising the beauty of Pemberley to Wu Zhao and Darcy with a smile. Caroline's heart was even more sour, and she couldn't help but say "Congratulations" sourly.

"Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth are really destined!" Caroline softened her voice and said these words while staring at Darcy's expression, "Do I want to congratulate in advance?"

As soon as Caroline's words came out of her mouth, Elizabeth secretly cried out that it was not good. If Darcy responded frankly, she would lose face!

Darcy didn't change his face, and replied without raising his head when he heard this, "It should be Gina and Miss Elizabeth who are destined."

Although this rebutted Caroline's words, it did not make Elizabeth lose face, and Elizabeth couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief-Darcy didn't speak out as ruthlessly as at the last ball this time. That's really the case, in front of so many people, she can't guarantee that she will still be as indifferent as last time.

Qing Niang observed the words and expressions, interrupted quickly, and stretched out her hand with a smile to point out where the scenery on the plate came from. Finally, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "It's a pity that there are not enough people today, and one scene is missing. Otherwise, the ten paintings would be taken in succession. Yes, it should be all worth seeing from Ramsgate to Pemberley - this is the design of the lady herself."

Not only Bentley, but even Darcy and Stuart looked a little surprised, especially Darcy, who was still struggling with Stuart's behavior just now, and was proud of Wu Zhao, with a look on his face. The expression looks extremely complicated.

Stuart next to him didn't have such worries, and praised decisively, "Is this Darcy's Villa in Ramsgate? Georgiana's paintings are really vivid—reminds me of the summer two years ago."

"Miss Darcy."

Before Wu Zhao could reply, Darcy next to her emphasized with an accent, gritting her teeth, "You should call her Miss Darcy, Your Excellency. I don't think you and Gina are familiar enough to call each other by their Christian names."

Stuart froze, and the fork in his hand hit the plate with a crisp sound. He wanted to go back and turned his head to see Wu Zhao who was eating food calmly. The cucumber chewed a majestic momentum...

Darcy won the first battle, and seeing that Wu Zhao didn't intend to help Stutt, he was even more satisfied, and the pickles in his mouth tasted sweet.

Qing Niang looked at Darcy and Si

Tute's undercurrent was raging, and Wu Zhao's unmoving appearance couldn't help snickering.

Wu Zhao raised her head and glanced at her, so frightened that Qing Niang quickly stopped talking, coughed lightly, as if nothing had happened, held up the wine bottle in her hand, and continued to introduce with a smile, " This wine is also the fruit wine made from the cherries in the Pemberley Manor collected last summer. It has a mellow taste, but it is not strong, and it tastes better with some syrup. It is very suitable for the ladies to try."

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and took a sip.

Elizabeth was always fond of wine, so she narrowed her eyes and took a sip. She couldn't help but praise: "I've never tasted this kind of wine—not to mention the sweetness, but the taste of wine. Juice seems to be different! That's far from it!"

Qing Niang thanked Elizabeth for her compliment with a smile, then beckoned to the maid to change the plates, "Serve the soup."

Peng Qi alone in the kitchen can't support a dinner, but with Sara around, it's all different—the head of the inner court who has been in charge of countless banquets over the years of the palace, will not be overwhelmed by such a small dinner. Difficult—everything in the back kitchen is in good order. Sarah responded quickly when she heard the sound of "serve the soup" in the dining room. One by one in front of everyone.

"This is Bailongyu." Qingniang pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Bingley, "Mr. Bingley should understand the smell."

Hearing this, Bingli knew that Qingniang already knew about the sneaky food in the kitchen that day, so he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, his face flushed.

Qingniang didn't joke any more, she just smiled and told the story to those who have never heard of this dish, "It's just a sour appetizer, just try the taste of fish fillet and shredded pork."

Hearst was about to bury his head in the soup plate, and when he heard Qing Niang say this, he couldn't help shouting: "It's just for taste! Then what kind of soup have I ever had before? The offal for pigs Vegetable soup!"

He looked at Darcy enviously, and said enviously: "Mr. Darcy's food is too good."

It's a pity that I envied the wrong person. Darcy hasn't been home much in the past two years. Even if he did go back, he ate Pemberley's cooking skills taught by Qingniang—Wu Zhao didn't know how to hold a banquet at home. Of course Qingniang would not cook for others to eat!

Even though he knew that there was a maid next to Wu Zhao who was skilled in cooking, and he had eaten the breakfast cooked by Qingniang several times after coming to Netherfield, but the dishes were all ordinary dishes, and he thought it was just the level of the cook. Never thought that Qingniang would have such a skill!

Fortunately, this dish of white dragon cockroach Darcy has been eaten before. He accepted Hearst's envy without any guilt, and praised his sister to him, and there was no lack of complacency in his words-of course, if the eyes were not always involuntary It would be better to look at Stuart warily.

Everyone cherished tasting the white dragon jelly, except for Wu Zhao, there was almost not a drop left on the plate.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qing Niang asked the maids to remove and change side dishes.

"'Golden Jade Carp', with perch from the Volga River, paired with freshly picked local oranges, and eaten with mustard."

This is a cold dish, and it is not as afraid of being bumped as the appetizer "Wangchuan Small Sample", so it is not covered with a lid, and it is served in front of everyone, and it can be seen clearly at a glance.

The crystal clear fish meat is sliced ​​extremely thin, covering the new oranges that are also sliced ​​into thin slices and placed in the shape of budding stalks. If you don’t look carefully, you may think that there is only one orange placed!

The bottom of the fish and oranges is carefully decorated with emerald green wasabi sauce, like a lotus leaf out of water, covered with glistening water droplets - it is the ice water from the chilled fish, which is the finishing touch.

Everyone picked up a piece of fish cake with orange and wasabi sauce and slowly put it into the mouth. The spicy and pungent nose mixed with the sweet and sour orange and the silky and plump fish cake poured in. Some people accidentally dipped too much horseradish sauce, and immediately Tears flowed from the nose, even so, no one was willing to throw away the remaining carp on the plate and say no to eating.

The side dishes were also quickly wiped out, and the main dish was quietly placed on the table.

"'Red Lamb Branch' was originally roasted whole lamb, but I modified it a little and changed it to roasted lamb leg, marinated with eighteen kinds of spices in advance for a day and a night, and then baked it repeatedly on the stove , and brushed with honey for a golden-red color."

Just served the side dish of cold food, this "red sheep stick" just in time, greatly appease everyone's stomach, especially the marinated leg of lamb is rich in layers, wrapped in the sweetness of honey, baked The burnt aroma and the fresh aroma of the leg of lamb make it hard to pick up a knife and fork!

Although there is only half a leg of lamb in front of each person, it is definitely enough to eat to the full. Wu Zhao still has some reservations. He only tasted a few bites of the fresh and tender part of the leg of lamb, and there is almost nothing left on the plate of the rest. Well, even Stuart, who has always been reserved, had a particularly clean plate.

Wu Zhao glanced at him in surprise, approached him with a smile and said in a low voice, "Is it so delicious? Your Excellency, Earl, will eat all the plates."

Stuart blushed. He also knew that he had lost his shape, but how could he admit it in front of Wu Zhao?Fortunately, if he didn't say anything else, Wu Zhao's face has thickened a lot in the past two days, and he immediately replied in a low voice: "No way, who told this to be the maid of 'Miss Darcy'? I'm afraid you won't do it in the future Let me taste it."

He also bit the word "Darcy" hard, as if regretting, why isn't it "Mrs. Stuart"?

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Stuart: Why not Mrs. Stuart...
