Hua Fang's words sounded warm and hospitable, and no one could fault her. But what she said made people feel uncomfortable.
Xu Yanying frowned and went to see the old man. Although there is nothing wrong with Hua Fang's words, if the old man doesn't like it, he can still introduce the rule of "eat without speaking" and tell her to talk less.
However, while Xu Kangguo was holding the bowl and eating the vegetables, he seemed strangely unable to hear anything uncomfortable in her words and let her speak.
While Xu Yanying was slightly startled, the atmosphere at the table was also quiet.
Even Xu Tianyin didn't react to this.
Rather than saying that he didn't respond, it's better to say that he didn't seem to hear Hua Fang's words.
At this moment, he turned his head and fixed his gaze on Xia Shao without moving. He had maintained this posture for a while. When Hua Fang was picking up vegetables for Xia Shao, she wondered what he was staring at Xia Shao.
No one understands, only Xia Shao understands.
The Xu family always used to think that Xu Tianyin went to Hong Kong to recuperate. Except for the old man, no one knew that he was Tang Zongbo's disciple. Therefore, Xia Shao couldn't call him senior brother in the Xu family, so she had to call him "Yin" just now. It was this title that made this man stare at her until now.
Xia Shao raised her eyes and looked at Xu Tianyin. Seeing that he was staring at her intently, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
She didn't seem to hear the unpleasant meaning in Hua Fang's words, so she just called Xu Tianyin, "Yin."
Xu Tianyin paused for breath and stared at her more intently, "Well."
Xia Shao smiled, "I've never had a state banquet. You must have eaten more, right?"
"Young Master." Xu Tianyin was always willing to say more and give more detailed answers to her questions, "Grandpa is frugal, and family banquets are rarely of this size, only during the Chinese New Year."
"Oh." Xia Shao said in a long voice and asked again, "Didn't you eat less often when you were abroad?"
"Yeah." Xu Tianyin nodded.
"Then eat more. It tastes good to me, and I am worthy of being a chef at the state banquet." Xia Shao frowned lightly, looking quite distressed, and took the dish with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of Xu Tianyin.
Hua Fang smiled, but her eyes dropped, unable to hide her contempt.
"We are performing a mission outside, but there are no dishes for the state banquet." At this time, Xia Shao said, "I heard that they are not nutritious, just some compressed biscuits and the like?"
Xu Tianyin lowered his head to eat the food Xia Shao gave him. After hearing this, he raised his head and looked at her with dark eyes. After looking at her for a while, he said: "No. The mission is urgent and sometimes we are not equipped."
"Not equipped? What will we eat?"
"Get the Rebirth Queen's resignation report on the spot."
"for example?"
"raw food."
The two of them were talking to each other, and the Xu family members who were eating paused their hands.
Several eyes looked at Xu Tianyin, including the old man.
Xia Shao frowned, feeling very distressed. He glanced at the exquisite dishes on the dining table and saw Hua Fang eating a bowl of lion's head. He also brought the lion's head in front of him, removed the golden vegetable leaves covering it, took a bite to taste first, and then slightly Nodding, he placed it in front of Xu Tianyin, "It tastes good. The pork belly is cut into just the right proportions. Eat more."
Xu Tianyin nodded, brought it over and ate it.
Hua Fang glanced at the diced pork belly in front of her that had the right proportions of fat, fat, and skinny, and suddenly lost her appetite.
Not only did she lose her appetite, she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that the half-eaten lion's head in front of her looked like a colorful ball of raw meat, which looked disgusting.
She quickly put the delicate porcelain bowl aside and looked at the bowl of mullet egg soup in front of her. It was served in a delicate purple clay bowl. The color of the soup was clear, and she wanted to take it over and press it. As soon as he took it over and took a spoon to scoop it out, Xia Shao saw it and smiled.
"This mullet egg soup is good. Eat it in winter to dispel cold and in summer to relieve fever. Drink more." Xia Shao also took some from the side and took a bowl. Passing it over, "Qing Province is close to the sea. It is said that the mullet eggs are produced there, and there are dried products. If I go on another mission, I will bring you some to supplement the protein."
Xu Tianyin looked up from the soup, "I have to cook it, but I don't have time. Just protein and insects."
Xia Shao frowned.
The Xu family all used chopsticks to have another meal.
Hua Fang looked at the scooped mullet eggs and was about to eat them. Suddenly, she felt that there were white flowers on them, and there were fat insect eggs floating on them...
vomit!
Hua Fang covered her mouth, her face turned pale, and she tried not to spit it out.
Xia Shao didn't notice her discomfort. She looked at Xu Tianyin and said distressedly: "You go out to perform a mission and this is all you eat? At least hunt, there is a lot of game in the mountains..."
"Hunting easily exposes the target."
"Then you can't go hungry."
"No. You can eat the carrion left behind by wild beasts."
"..." The whole table was silent.
The Xu family looked at Xu Tianyin in shock. Yesterday, they understood what kind of dangerous mission he was performing abroad. Today, I understood what he ate when he was on a mission.
The family's faces turned pale, and then they lowered their heads to look at the table of exquisite top-notch state banquet dishes, and their faces all changed! I don’t know when the bowl of lion’s head turned into white raw meat, the mullet and egg soup was full of fat worms, the shark’s fin was twisted into earthworms, and the Buddha jumped over the wall in a cup of top-quality soup, which should have been fragrant at the altar. , but it stinks at the moment, and there is a pile of things inside that I can’t distinguish. In short, it looks like a pile of rotten internal organs, with a few flies flying on it. It’s as disgusting as possible.
"Ouch!" Hua Fang, who was disgusted three times in a row, couldn't help but cover her mouth and leave the table, lowered her head and ran out.
Liu Lan ran out next. Her face turned pale. She had never seen such a table of food in her life, and she immediately left the table and ran out.
The next person to stand up was Xu Tianzhe. His face was not very pretty, but before leaving, he gave Xia Shao a meaningful look, as if he knew that this scene was her fault. But there was also shock in his eyes. What shocked him was that she really had some unpredictable abilities.
"Grandpa, I'm going to see my mother and Lan Lan, the little man's hero." Xu Tianzhe said politely to the old man before leaving, but he didn't look at the table.
Xu Yanshao sat in his seat, unable to eat or sit still. Seeing the flies flying in front of him and the stinky smell, it looked like a slaughterhouse, and he felt nauseated again. He didn't know what was going on, he just thought it was because his imagination was too rich. Seeing that his son had gone out for an excuse, he also made the move to leave the family dinner for the first time.
"Dad, I'll go out and see them." Xu Yanshao didn't forget to say hello to the old man, but he didn't look at the table. But before leaving, he gave Xia Shao a meaningful look.
After the people left, the old man, Liu Zhenghong, Xu Yanying, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin were left at the table.
On the table, the dishes are fragrant. How can they be as unsightly as those who left the table just now
Lion head is still lion head, fat but not greasy; mullet egg soup is still mullet egg soup, slightly sour and spicy; shark fin is still shark fin, sweet and refreshing; Buddha jumps over the wall or Buddha jumps over the wall, with a mellow aftertaste.
A state banquet, exquisite and beautiful.
Those who are not beautiful are gone.
Very nice and cozy.
Xia Shao smiled and continued to pick up vegetables for Xu Tianyin, taking some for the old man along the way.
Xu Yanying stared blankly at today's episode. She really didn't know why everyone left the table. Yes, the content of what Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin talked about was a little off-putting, but it was not unbearable. Didn't she just hold back
Xu Yanying looked outside. Forget about others, her daughter had also gone out. Naturally, the mother was worried, so she stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going out to see Lan Lan."
After Xu Yanying left the table, Liu Zhenghong looked at Xia Shao. He could tell that the girl did this on purpose. Although the words Hua Fang just said were uncomfortable for me to listen to, I really couldn't fault them. I thought that this girl would be patient when she first came to Xu's house today, but unexpectedly, she couldn't bear it.
Although I couldn't bear it, I didn't argue with Hua Fang.
She ignored Hua Fang from beginning to end, only chatting with Xu Tianyin, and then walked away with a table of people...
Liu Zhenghong lowered his eyes and coughed to hide his intention to laugh. He has been the Xu family's son-in-law for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has seen his second wife in such a miserable state. Even Xu Yanshao, who was wily and never wrong in etiquette, told her to leave.
Although, among the people leaving the banquet, there was also his own daughter.
well!
Liu Zhenghong sighed, and everyone at the table had left. He looked like an eyesore here, so he stood up and said, "Ahem! Dad, let me go see the two of them."
As a result, no one ate the exquisite state banquet. The Xu family members all left the table one after another, looking at this and that.
Now, only Xia Shao, Xu Tianyin and Mr. Xu were left at the table.
Xia Shao smiled, not hiding it at all. That was the spell she cast just now. She just opened the dragon scales slightly to draw out some evil spirits and let some people see some illusions.
Of course, the entry of Yin evil into the body will have some negative effects on the body, so when Xia Shao led the Yin evil out, she used her vitality to protect Mr. Xu and Liu Zhenghong and Xu Yanying, who seemed to be pleasing to the eye. She did not care about the other people. Tube.
As a result, other people saw many unattractive pictures.
As soon as Xia Shao cast the spell, Xu Tianyin knew it, so the man silently cooperated with her today and talked a lot.
Xia Shao looked out the door with a smile. Didn't she think she was noble and said her parents had never had a state banquet? It's okay, she wants some people to vomit whenever they see a state banquet in the future!
The whole family is going to vomit the latest chapter of the online game Mr. Fortune!
When Xia Shao looked out the door, Xu Kangguo raised his eyes, glanced at her, and sighed.
The second and third generations of the Xu family, let alone the third generation, had never eaten steamed buns with pickles when the country was at its poorest. They have never experienced hardship, and it is not unusual in their eyes to have a state banquet that ordinary people will never be able to eat in their lifetime. Because of this, he thinks highly of himself.
How could he not understand the meaning of his second daughter-in-law's words today? He didn't speak, not because he couldn't find out what was wrong in her words and it was difficult to speak to her, but because he didn't speak on purpose. He wanted to see how this girl would respond. Although he has no family sense, it does not mean that he does not know the Xu family's current status in the political arena. She wants to marry into the Xu family and become the future mistress of the Xu family. She has to deal with many situations.
Today, he is very satisfied.
It has to be said that this method may be more effective than his decades of consistent admonishment.
The old man looked at the girl who turned her head. She raised her eyebrows with a smile, put some food on the plate in front of him, and said with a smile, "You old man won't feel sick to your stomach, right?"
Xu Kangguo held the bowl and hummed, "Do you think I'm the same as them? My old man didn't eat anything like bark, grass, roots, etc. during the war?"
As he said these words, the old man felt desolate from the bottom of his heart, not for himself, but for the only son of the three generations of the Xu family who had suffered such a hardship. His uncles and aunts, as second-generation children, have never been hungry, and he...
At this moment, he was eating the food given by the girl, his eyes softening slightly. Occasionally he raised his eyes and glanced at the girl, seeing her smiling eyebrows and a faint smile on her lips.
The two of them were wearing regular clothes today, just like a young couple having lunch together. The noon sun shines in through the door, making the moment warm and picturesque.
The old man's eyes suddenly became wet, he lowered his head and silently picked up the rice, with a look of relief on his face.
He suddenly had a hunch that this child was Tianyin's lucky star. Maybe one day, the Xu family can be changed.
…
A family dinner turned into three people. Of course, there was nothing left. The old man, who had always been frugal, naturally looked unhappy.
After eating and sitting for a while, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin supported Xu Kangguo for a walk back. When I walked to the pavilion, I found that the second and third bedrooms of the Xu family were there.
They would rather be scolded by the old man than go back to the banquet hall.
"One by one, don't you know that there are guests at home today? Isn't it the rule of the Xu family to leave after eating half of the meal? You can eat the rest of the meal for me tonight!" Xu Kangguo said as soon as he arrived in the pavilion.
When Hua Fang heard this, her face turned pale again. She turned around and ran out of the pavilion to vomit again.
The other people's faces were not looking good either. Liu Lan did not dare to speak, so she secretly tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and asked for help.
Xu Yanying looked at her with a kind look, but with a slight scolding in his eyes, "Aren't you just going to eat at night? Think about how hard your cousin Tianyin was when he was on a mission abroad. What was he eating? You still have the nerve to waste it. ?”
Xu Yanying didn't say it didn't matter. As soon as he mentioned Liu Lan, his face turned pale and he turned around and vomited.
Xu Yanying was stunned, finally sighed and glanced at Xia Shao. This glance, although complicated, did not mean to blame. She knew that her daughter was squeamish. She was an only child, and no matter how strict the old man was in discipline, she would always soften up when she acted coquettishly at home. I also know that this child has all the problems of a little princess, which are all caused by being spoiled. But that’s how parents feel. After all, it’s just the flesh that fell off your body, how can it not hurt
It's just that after the heartache, I always have a headache.
well!
She seems a little afraid of Xia Shao now, which may not be a bad thing. Just watch.
