Chapter 526 Food in Xiangzhou County
After listening to Yuan Bao's introduction, he should have visited many of these scenic spots. Jiao Zhongjue and Chu Chu also nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Xiao also arranged for the housekeeper to follow.
"It's a little early for dinner at this hour. I heard that Xiangzhou County's pastries are very famous. Why don't Yuan Bao take us to try them." Jiao Zhongjue suggested again.
"Go, Brother Yuanbao, hurry up and take us there. My aunt said that they can't make fermented rice cakes and crab shell roe at home. She told me several times before coming here and told me to try it!"
Seeing Chu Chu's eyes sparkling when she talked about eating, her mouth was watering. Naturally, Yuan Bao had no reason not to take it. Jiao Zhongjue even remembered that when he was a child, Chu Chu looked like a little hamster when he saw delicious food.
In fact, Yuan Bao knew that for today's dinner, his mother also ordered several famous pastries from outside, just for Chu Chu. But eating them at home is definitely different from eating them outside.
Naturally, Jiao Zhongjue means the same thing. This snack foodie always talks about what his grandma and aunt said all the way. Apart from the scenic spots, the most talked about is the small cakes in Xiangzhou County. If this small wish cannot be fulfilled, how can it be done, even if the ingot is If he doesn't go, he plans to take Chu Chu out to look for food.
Hearing that they were going out to eat, Mrs. Xiao quickly introduced several pastry shops, and said to Chu Chu with a smile: "Chu Chu, don't overeat when you go out. Just eat a small piece if you think it's delicious, and leave the rest to the housekeeper." Grandma packed it back and will eat it when she goes out for fun tomorrow, otherwise she won't be able to eat dinner. Auntie has prepared a lot of delicious food, Chu Chu will definitely like it.
Last night, my aunt specially asked my mother-in-law to visit the food street. Now most of the famous snacks are on display again. After dinner, my aunt will take you and grandma for a walk, and by the way, you can try a few more bites of each. "
Grandma Yan was laughing beside her so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. She also joked to Mrs. Xiao: "This child has a big mouth, and the Duke and Madam have a lot of food for her. Don't spoil her rotten. When she goes back, she will become She’s a little fat guy, and her mother has to settle the score with me.”
"Grandma, Fu Bao is not a fat guy. Look, he's lost weight because of hunger." Chu Chu coquettishly stomped her feet and touched her belly, making both Mrs. Xiao and grandma laugh.
Jiao Zhongjue also echoed: "Chu Chu has lost a lot of weight. It looks like he still has a few more pounds during the New Year. This time he has to eat up all the red seals that Yuan Bao got for the New Year."
Mrs. Xiao was amused: "Don't worry about his little red seal. When he arrived in Xiangzhou County, he spent money lavishly. In addition to his classmates, he also met many young ladies from Xiangzhou County. Even Xiu Mu could not find anyone else. , I don’t know how much I subsidized him secretly.”
Yuan Bao was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted at Mrs. Xiao: "I don't know who is asking me to get to know more classmates and friends every day, but now they have suppressed me. From now on, I will just stay at home with my mother to embroider. That's okay." Earn some extra pocket money.”
Even Chu Chu smiled this time. This was the first time she had seen Yuan Bao like this. Sure enough, no matter how old a child is, he will act wantonly and act coquettishly in front of his own mother.
"Okay, let's go quickly. If we don't go out, we'll be in time for dinner. Remember to check what Chu Chu likes to eat and pack some for her."
Seeing that she had had enough of teasing him, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly drove them out and sent them a familiar mother-in-law.
By the way, he asked Amber beside him to send a message to the kitchen: "Delay the serving time for a quarter of an hour so that they won't be able to eat. Then let them cook two bird's nests and bring them to the table. Don't let the old lady go hungry."
After thinking for a while, he added another sentence: "Those servants who are busy cleaning up the backyard will also put out a few plates of pastries for them to fill their bellies first."
Grandma Yan looked at her and teased her: "I used to think you were very casual when you were in Qingliu County, but now you are more versatile."
"Well, it's just a matter of judging the situation. I wasn't used to this Xiangzhou County when I first came here. As soon as I took office, I received more than a dozen invitations before I even finished cleaning up. It's impossible not to go.
People here in the south of the Yangtze River are very particular about entertaining guests, but they are not as straightforward as the people in the capital. Everyone who comes from all over the world understands how to treat guests. Fortunately, I have a few good classmates here, and I helped find two people who know how to treat guests. Jiangnan's sophisticated mother-in-law has finally gotten to know her in half a year, and it's not a shame. "
After speaking, Mrs. Xiao smiled and patted Grandma Yan's hand: "Old madam, don't laugh at the same pace. When I first met you a few years ago, all you told me was growing radishes and harvesting sweet potatoes. , It’s very interesting. Now that I’m in the county office with the old man, can I still talk about this every day?”
Grandma Yan smiled and felt that Mrs. Xiao was still as friendly as before: "I am different from you ladies who were born in a rich family. Who in Qingliu County doesn't know that I am a peasant woman in Taohua Village. No one will bury me if I am vulgar. That old man On the contrary, I speak in a friendly manner and have never disliked me.
If he dares to look down on me, I will go back to Taohua Village to entertain my grandson and see who is afraid of whom. "
"It's reasonable for you to think about it, that is, the adults in our two families are celibate. If you are really like other masters, adding an aunt or a concubine to your backyard every three days, let's see if you dare to say that."
Looking at Mrs. Xiao's words, one can tell that her back house is still so simple. There must be no one to cause trouble for her, otherwise she would not live such a broad-minded, fat and cheerful life.
"Then I don't care. If he dares to carry it like this, let his sons go to him. He came up with the "Yan family motto" by himself, and I didn't force him. If he dares to violate it, I will Paste it in the Yan clan’s ancestral hall and let everyone in Taohua Village come out and take a look.”
"Hahaha! You say you don't care, but actually you have a backup plan."
The two were chatting, and Grandma Yan also mentioned the two cousins from Shangguan's family. Mrs. Xiao agreed immediately, saying that with the reputation of being a scholar and Mr. Xiao's recommendation, it was okay for one or two people to come in. , besides, she is Mr. Lan Chuan’s maternal wife.
Mrs. Xiao also joked with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Lan Chuan's editing of a book is more prestigious than my family. I'm afraid the boss is still rushing to get it."
When Grandma Yan thought it was true, she couldn't help but shook her head again. She was glad that her son and uncle didn't study like this, otherwise they would piss her off to death.
It is good to be honest and clean in life, but basic human relations and sophistication still have to be emphasized, and it is impossible to throw away all family and love, otherwise you will be a saint.
