Wusheng plate is actually a big dish made of pork, beef, mutton, venison and bear meat without cooking, sliced ​​into thin slices and arranged in the shape of plum blossoms. It is eaten with sauce and looks elegant. The user calls it fresh.

Fang Yu picked up a thin slice of beef and looked at it. He had eaten raw beef before. Many people may be persuaded by a new word. In fact, the taste of beef slices is not bad, but according to his personal experience In terms of taste, it is not recommended to chew slowly, because it is really fresh and tender, and it is not beautiful to chew too much.

After dipping several kinds of meat into the sauce in turn, Fang Yu couldn't help giving a thumbs up in his heart.

"The sage does not lie to me. He never tires of fine food and fine meat. This raw meat is thin and has a unique flavor."

Qiao Hezhi smiled and said: "Wu Sheng Pan is a popular dish. Most restaurants have this dish, and the meat is almost the same. It's just that there are special hunters in big restaurants to deliver meat to the door. The meat bought in the meat market is fresher, mainly because it is better than the chef's knife skills, and the finer and thinner the meat, the more famous it will be."

Fang Yu threw another piece of meat into his mouth: "The meat has not been cooked or marinated. If you don't work hard on the knife and dipping sauce, it will be a bit difficult to eat."

"It's a pity that my knife skill is not as good as that of a restaurant cook, otherwise I can cook this dish at home and try it with my lord."

"Hey, if you take care of everything, how can you still have a chance to go to the restaurant, and you should give the restaurant a chance."

Qiao Hezhi smiled, it is common to have dinner at home, but it is rare to be able to go to a restaurant with her husband to have a drink.

"Let's try sashimi again." Qiao Hezhi picked up a piece of fish meat, dipped it in some sauce, raised his hand and held the chopsticks and handed it to Fang Yu's mouth: "I see that the sashimi is crystal clear, but it is more like a sashimi." Cicada wings, the taste should not be bad."

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and ate the fish that Qiao Hezhi was sandwiching. Although the dipping sauce did not contain chili, it was very spicy. It tasted like mustard, but it somewhat covered up the deliciousness of the fish. Besides, there was a plate of dipping sauce , this stack is Fang Yu's favorite. It tastes hot and sour and fresh. It is made with sauce and orange juice, and it is very refreshing when served with raw fish.

The last ones served were four steamed red crabs, four dishes for a table, and two stacks of side dishes and a stack of pastries.The restaurant is indeed high-end, and the dishes are all exquisite porcelain, but there is also some deceitful temperament in it, and there are few dishes on the plate.

If you want to have a full meal, you can't count on it. It's appropriate to come to have a drink and try something new.

After trying all the dishes, Fang Yu politely peeled two crabs for Qiao Hezhi. After a meal, the taste buds enjoyed it. According to Fang Yu's usual food intake, he was at most [-]% full, but today he ate a lot of broiled mutton at noon, and It was late to eat, and the meal was just right when I came out this morning.

He decided that if he came again next time, he would eat two bowls of noodles outside first, and then eat when he was full, otherwise he would eat for nothing. However, he probably won’t come again in the near future. He only ordered a few dishes and spent one or two half dollars. According to the five taels of silver he received from the Yamen every month, it would not be enough to go back to the restaurant three times.

"Are you full?"

Back on the carriage, Fang Yu couldn't help asking Qiao Hezhi.

Qiao Hezhi nodded: "I ate more than usual."

"However, after eating two whole crabs, I only moved a few chopsticks, which is more than usual. No wonder you are thin and often get sick." Fang Yu said, "I will ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of warm soup for you when you get home. "

Qiao Hezhi was delighted that Fang Yu still remembered what he ate: "Yes."

Back at the house, it was already dark, and Fang Yu was full of food and drink, thinking about the account books at hand, so when he got home, he didn't send Qiao Hezhi to Xiaotongyuan, but stood on the corridor with his hands behind his back, waiting for people Go back to the house after disappearing.

Qiao Hezhi stepped on the wooden porch, and the winter night was cold and windy, but he was reluctant to move faster. He was still thinking about the person behind him, but he was too embarrassed to look back, so he had to dawdle slowly.

"The husband is back, the old lady invites you to go over."

Qiao Hezhi didn't wait for Fang Yu to call him, but Mrs. Qian from Chen's house came over.

He thumped in his heart: "But what's the matter?"

Mrs. Qian put her hands in her hands: "The old lady has her own reasons for asking her husband to come over. How can a servant know exactly what the master thinks? That's not scary."

Qiao Hezhi was about to speak, but someone took the conversation first.

"Young Master, you can answer whatever you ask. If you don't know, just say you don't know. Who taught you the rules when you say these things."

"The lord is here too." Mrs. Qian hurried over from the other end, but she didn't notice Fang Yu who was in the porch on the other side of the gate. She was caught repeatedly acting majestic, and she said bitterly: "Just now the old lady was still talking I told my lord that I hadn't returned for a long time in the middle of the night, and I was afraid that my lord would catch a cold."

"Since my mother is talking about me, I will go there with the young master to say hello to her old lady."

"This..." Pozi Qian's tongue was tied, originally trying to divert Fang Yu's attention, but unexpectedly she led the conversation here.

Fang Yu stared straight at Mrs. Qian, this old lady was picked by Mrs. Chen, she was a bit older than Mrs. Chen, but she served in a rich family's house all the year round, she looked like a peasant woman with an old lady than Mrs. Chen Style: "I see that Qian's mother doesn't seem to want me to see her. I don't know why."

"How dare this old slave, the master has misunderstood." Mrs. Qian quickly apologized: "It's just that the old lady wants to ask her husband to ask about sewing and some things about the inner house. The master has been busy all day and will go back to the academy tomorrow. , tossing back and forth, it is better to go back to the house to rest earlier, and go to the academy early tomorrow morning after inviting Ann."

"What's the matter? No matter how hard you study, you can't delay being filial to your children. The one in the imperial city today rules the world with benevolence and filial piety. I'm taking the scientific examination. How can I go against the trend? Mama Qian doesn't think so." trap me in injustice."

Mrs. Qian was so frightened that she almost knelt down: "This old slave is stupid, and I hope the Lord will not care about such ignorant people like this old slave."

Fang Yu didn't comment, but turned to Qiao Hezhi and said, "Let's go."

Qiao Hezhi's heart warmed, he frowned and followed Fang Yu's pace.

Seeing that the two of them went to the Longevity Hall together, Mrs. Qian let out a sigh of relief.

She was resentful in her heart, and she didn't understand where Fang Yu made a mistake. Now he speaks in a different way, and a little carelessness almost caused disaster.

You must know that Fang Yu used to listen to Chen's words the most. Although he married a rich young man to pretend to be rich, but he couldn't change the sour and promiseful attitude he came from the countryside. To be sure, the Chen family is a bit tricky. He has done errands in a rich family and knows some things about the rich family, but he can still pretend. She was originally a country woman. What can I learn from my low-class servant? This matter is completely inappropriate for the housekeeper, so I came here to ask her opinion. She has been living smoothly for the past few months, but now she is suddenly humiliated. happy.

"Old lady, the husband is here."

Mrs. Chen was soaking her feet when she heard the announcement from the servants, without raising her eyelids: "What's the hurry, I'm still busy here, let him wait outside."

"The lord, the lord is also here."

"Ah?" Mrs. Chen stepped into the water basin, grinning her teeth as she was scalded by the hot water: "How does Mrs. Qian do things? Why did you call Yu'er here too? What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you invite the lord in?" It’s cold outside!”

"Yes."

Seeing the two people coming into the house together, Mrs. Chen frowned. This afternoon, she heard the news that the two were eating and drinking outside together. She didn't believe it at first, but now she saw that they were walking side by side. Shoulder, where there is still the estrangement of the previous days, she can't say she is happy or unhappy.

To be honest, Qiao Hezhi is still quite flirtatious. Fang Yu ignored her for a month when she got married, let alone consummated the house. She knew that her son was thinking about the one in Fangzui Village , but there is only one man who really married Mei Jiao Niang and can still guard himself, after all, which man is not greedy.

She had a doubt in her heart, she was afraid that she had disciplined Fang Yu too hard and lost the idea of ​​continuing the incense. Those men in the village jumped on the girl's brother's bed at fifteen or sixteen. The young master of that family is even worse. There are only seven or eight girls in the same room in the thirteenth or fourteenth family. Fang Yu is the only one in their family. She has been staring at her until the nineteenth. Yes, can she not be worried?

Originally, he was afraid that male sex and female sex would delay Fang Yu's study, but unexpectedly, it backfired.

Today, another relative from Fangzui Village sent a message. The daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, telling her to go back and have a full moon wine. She thought she didn't want to go now because of her status, but she was in the city. There is nothing to do, but it would be better to brag about the time with those women in the village, thinking that I can go back and show off, so I agreed.

Going to dinner is one thing, but the big fat boy who gave birth woke her up again.

Now the Fang family can be regarded as a respectable family. They are scholars and scholars, and the family has money. Propagating children and grandchildren is the top priority.

A while ago, she didn't ask about Fang Yu and Qiao Hezhi's roommate, she wanted to give Qiao Hezhi a prestige, although the different room suppressed Qiao Hezhi, but if you think about it carefully, Fang's family will also suffer, the main room's delay in not having children is also a problem people joke.

Even if the Fang family married the girl Rao'er, she would still be a concubine after all, and the child she would give birth to would be a concubine. Although Qiao Hezhi was not born well, he was still the main wife. Yes, but not under the influence of Qiao Hezhi.

For this reason, although she looked down on Qiao Hezhi's business background and was too weak to bear children, there was nothing she could do since she was married and had to have a baby earlier.

Originally, I wanted to call Qiao Hezhi alone for a lecture, let him work hard, and give Fang Yu some eye drops, and the matter should be over, but now that both of them are here, it is better to talk together , No need to do homework on both sides.

"Mother-in-law."

Qiao Hezhi saluted Mrs. Chen politely, and it was rare for Mrs. Chen not to be tricky.

"Okay, let's all sit down."

But looking at Fang Yu, he said angrily, "You have changed your temper. You say you are just a newlywed, but you put your husband aside. You used to know how to study hard. Now that you are getting close, you can't wait to leave him behind. On the waistband, even if I call someone to come over and talk for a while, I have to follow."

Fang Yu's brows twitched. The style of his words was quite different from usual, and he also spoke nicely: "Mother may have misunderstood, and my son came here to say hello to mother."

"Well, I still use my mother as a cover. What are you embarrassed about with my mother? We went out to eat, drink and play together. After all, we are husband and wife. We want to live a stable life. Mother is happy to see that you two can talk."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen turned her head to look at Qiao Hezhi: "Since this is the case, you don't have to go back to Xiaotongyuan tonight. The Lord is waiting in the room."

Fang Yu's pupils were shocked, and his mouth was bitter when he was caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events. He was afraid that Mrs. Chen would embarrass Xiao Qiao again, so he thought that he would run a few steps so that Xiao Qiao could go back to rest earlier. Come join in the fun!

He coughed dryly: "Mother, I will..."

"Sooner or later, you will have someone to take care of you, so don't talk about studying. Your father gave birth to your brother at your age. It's a pity that the family was poor at that time, and your brother couldn't support him. They are both Short-lived, our Fang family's incense is weak, and now that the family is getting better, we can't rely on you to make the incense flourish, so as to comfort your father's spirit in heaven."

Fang Yu laughed dryly, it was hard to refute this.

He had no choice but to shift his eyes to Qiao Hezhi in embarrassment. Presumably, the young master also resisted him in his heart. After all, the original owner was not good to him before, and the two of them had no relationship foundation. Who would be willing to ask him to serve him suddenly.

As long as Qiao Hezhi said that he was unwell, he could go down the slope to help Mrs. Chen go.
