Song Yuting looked at Wen Nuan and Wang with a half-smile.
Waiting for them to use the soup.
These shabby ghosts who come from lowly backgrounds and whose families have been poor for several generations will probably use soup as drinking soup.
At this time Zhou Xinxin, Jiang Haining and Wei Ran had already picked up the spoons and took a sip of the soup.
And they all scooped up a golden pink flower in unison.
They had long heard that the ladies and ladies of extremely wealthy families drank milk for skin care and ate snacks made of gold foil every day.
Milk is a precious commodity in Nalan Kingdom.
Dairy cows are only found in Western China.
If people in the Nalan Kingdom want to drink fresh milk, they have to buy a cow from the Xihua Kingdom. A cow costs a thousand taels of silver, and the cost of transporting it back is also hundreds of taels. There is also the risk of death on the way, and you have to hire a cow when you come back. They are raised by dedicated people, and I heard that they often cannot be kept alive, so unless they are extremely rich, no one is willing to spend more than a thousand taels.
The Ning family is as rich as any other country. With so much milk, how many cows do they need to raise
Song Yuting almost laughed out loud when she saw the three of them drinking fragrant soup. She was waiting to warm them up with the soup.
Mrs. Ning Er pretended to lower her head to adjust her clothes and roll up her sleeves a little, but her eyes were actually full of fragrance and warmth, waiting for them to drink the fragrant soup.
There is indeed no problem with drinking this fragrant soup, and milk can still be drunk.
However, if you really drink it, you will be embarrassed.
Wang and Wu were people who had entered the palace to receive rewards. It was not like they had never seen any grand ostentation!
The Nuan Nuan family put their hands into the gold cup in unison.
That action couldn't be more standard.
Song Yuting was startled.
Mrs. Ning Er was stunned.
She spent a lot of money to prepare this fragrant soup. It was not easy to just condense the gold powder into flowers. She also specially used milk.
Make this fragrant soup look like a precious thing that you can drink.
Her purpose was to make the Wen family lose face by drinking fragrant soup.
Unexpectedly, they actually knew that this fragrant soup was not for drinking!
The fragrant soup prepared with thousands of taels of silver is ruined!
Zhou Xinxin was about to continue drinking a milk golden flower when she saw the actions of Wen Nuan and her family and was stunned for a moment.
At this time, the maid holding the marigold fragrant soup exclaimed: "Girl, this fragrant soup is not for drinking!"
During the dinner, the ladies and ladies in the Ning family all lowered their heads and smiled to themselves.
Zhou Xinxin and others: "......"
The three of them couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
His face was burning.
Zhou Xinxin glared at Wen Nuan. This fragrant soup must be prepared for the fake phoenixes they turned into from pheasants!
These fake phoenixes knew they were for washing hands, but they didn't wash them earlier!
She was so embarrassed!
She was so angry!
The banquet continued with Zhou Xinxin and others blushing.
Because the Ning family is a merchant, they only have money and no power.
In this way, you will be inferior in front of those dignitaries and be despised by them.
But how can an extremely wealthy person afford such contempt
So the Ning family worked hard on food, clothing, housing and transportation, making everything exquisite and pompous!
Let those dignitaries be envious and jealous!
Because of its grandeur and red tape, the Confucius Banquet seriously increased the financial burden. Even the families of princes, earls, and first-rank officials would not eat like this, because it was really extravagant and wasteful. Besides, it didn’t consume that much money, unless The emperor comes for a private visit incognito
But how many official homes does the emperor pay private visits to
There are only a handful of them!
Moreover, the current emperor is very strict in detecting corrupt officials. Once discovered, all the property will be confiscated and the whole family will be sent to the frontier. Therefore, those high-ranking officials have kept a very low profile in recent years.
But the more status a person has, the more he or she will pay attention to rituals, and the more he or she wants to stand out and be superior to others.
Therefore, many official wives come to Ning's house to have dinner, and they are all envious and jealous!
Mrs. Ning Er knows this well.
She prepared this meal very carefully!
She knew that the calmer and airsier those people were on the surface, the more envious and jealous they felt in their hearts!
It's a pity that no matter how envious and jealous the family is, they don't have much money, so they can't think of the Ning family eating like this!
The first thing that came to the ladies' table were eight plates (four each of dried fruits and fresh fruits).
These fresh fruits and dried fruits are all health-preserving fruits or dried fruits made of health-preserving fruits.
It's not just the Wen family who can afford to eat health-preserving ingredients.
The Ning family is rich and they can eat whatever they want with just a little money!
Today, she sent people to buy all the health-preserving ingredients from different people at high prices ranging from ten to fifty times!
Absolutely, absolutely must regain face!
Mrs. Ning Er smiled and invited: "Mrs. Wang, I am deeply honored to have received your warm hospitality the day before yesterday. I hope you will be satisfied with the meal at Ning's house today."
Confucius's banquet has rich and varied dishes, exquisite tableware, elegant furnishings, and exquisite eating methods. People who have not experienced it will not know it!
Wait and see how many people will be embarrassed!
How kind she was to remind them!
Let them feel how they felt that day too!
Didn’t they like to eat healthy vegetables and healthy ingredients that day? It feels like I have never eaten it in my previous life!
Then let them rush to eat enough today!
It's just that Mrs. Ning Er was disappointed again. Wen Nuan and others tasted it and stopped. There were so many dishes and it was not like eating fruits to fill them up!
But Zhou Xinxin and the others are different!
They may not be able to eat these health-preserving ingredients once a month. It is good luck to meet them. Everyone wants to eat more. If you are sick, you can cure the disease, but if you are not sick, you can strengthen your body!
Even Song Yuting couldn't help but eat more.
Especially Zhou Xinxin, the pockmarks on her face would lighten up even if she ate health-preserving ingredients once. She wanted to eat them every day, every time, all the time!
It's a pity that if you can't afford it, you won't be able to steal it from others!
Mrs. Ning Er saw that Zhou Xinxin and the others were eating hard but Wen Wen and others were not eating. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wu, and several girls Wen, these are health-preserving fruits. Eat more!"
Mrs. Wang waved her hand: "I don't have any shortage of these healthy fruits at home. Let's leave them to the children!"
Wu smiled: "That's right!"
Taking advantage of his young age, Wen Ran said: "We all eat the freshest fruits, picked on the same day. Some of these fruits must have been stored for three to five days!"
Because the health-preserving ingredients have been transformed by Ziqi, they have a particularly long shelf life, but what Wen Nuan's family eats are freshly picked and the freshest.
I’m used to seeing the best, so I could tell at a glance that some of these fruits had been there for a few days!
Mrs. Ning Er: "......"
Pack! Pack! Pack! Pack! Pretend!
There is no shortage at home!
We also eat the freshest ones picked on the same day!
Mrs. Ning Er smiled gloomily and said no more.
Next are the big items, and the dishes that use healthy ingredients, she arranges them at the end.
With such a sumptuous dish, I can’t believe they didn’t get carried away with it, waiting to see how upset they looked.
