Chapter 224 Enjoy the feast
Daiyu turned the whole thing over in her mind and whispered, "Your idea makes sense. Let me think about it."
Xiao Hong hummed, and then gently advised: "It doesn't matter what the girl thinks, but you can't be anxious anymore. Aunt Meng just kept talking about it, and I'm afraid she should prepare a meal to calm the mind and reduce internal heat for the girl.
"It's not a big deal. But this house is not ours. If this recipe gets out, it won't be a good thing, girl."
Daiyu was reminded by her that Prince Beijing was in Jiangnan, and her father had not made any friends during his tenure in Jiangnan, but had offended many people...
You can't let others notice that there is something different.
Daiyu bit her lip and said, "Then I won't look for you! Let's put this matter on hold!"
Xiaohong agreed and covered her with a thin quilt so that she could have a good nap.
But Daiyu couldn't sleep well. She either tossed and turned or had nightmares.
Xiaohong was anxious, and after thinking it over, she went to Zijuan to discuss it.
Zijuan was even more at a loss after hearing this, and the two of them sat facing each other, worrying.
Xueyan saw this and came over to look at their faces curiously, asking, "What are you doing? The princess doesn't want to treat us to fish?"
The two of them chuckled.
Forget it, every difficulty will be overcome, and everything will work out when we reach the bridge.
Daiyu felt sore in her back and waist after a nap that she kept groaning. Aunt Meng hurriedly twisted her waist and moved her neck, and only then did Daiyu feel better.
In the evening, Daiyu told Jingbo that she wanted to treat Aunt Meng to river food. Jingbo patted his chest happily and led the way, and the group went to the riverside in a mighty manner.
After getting on a small boat and changing to a tall boat, several people boarded a boat that was not very lively and was dedicated to eating river seafood. They chose a compartment at the back, divided it into two tables, and put up a screen. Jing Bo and the women sat at one table, and the men sat at another.
"I'm afraid you won't eat it. I'll order the dishes. I'll serve a small portion to each table so you can try it first." Jing Bo said with a smile, and then said to the boatman, "Half raw and half cooked. If the fishy ones are not fishy, and the ones that shouldn't be fishy are fishy, I won't pay for it."
The boatman's wife started to act coquettishly: "Oh my, this is not the first time that you have come to my house to eat fresh food. Which time have you ever been dissatisfied with me? You deliberately said this about me in front of the distinguished guests!"
It's delicate and soft, just like a plate of sweet potatoes with sugar shreds on them, so sweet and sticky, so crispy that it almost makes you lose your soul!
Jia Yun's ears instantly turned red. Ni Er noticed and put his arm around his shoulders, grinning: "How is it? Jiangnan style is unique, isn't it?"
Jia Yun subconsciously glanced towards the screen, then glared at Ni Er fiercely.
Chu Kai took the wine glass away from Ni Er with a cold face.
Ni Er immediately pinched his mouth and became as obedient as a quail.
The boatman's wife had sharp eyes and immediately discovered who was in charge here. She immediately turned to Daiyu:
"This guest looks too young. He might have trouble digesting raw food. How about giving you a bowl of yam, gorgon seeds, and rice in a sweet soup?"
Aunt Meng nodded quickly: "This is good. One bowl for each person."
The boatman's wife was very happy: "Then I know the appetite of you gentlemen. Please wait for a moment."
She walked quickly like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind.
"Look at her on this boat. She is so steady that she didn't lose her balance and she can twist like this. She is really amazing!"
Qingwen opened her eyes wide and whispered to Xueyan.
Xueyan nodded and smacked her lips repeatedly, but after thinking for a while, she said, "I could do the same when I was young."
Qingwen choked.
"It's nothing, just that my feet are familiar." Daiyu said softly, and she and Aunt Meng smiled at each other.
Sure enough, the sugar water was served first. Daiyu took a sip and her eyes lit up, and she looked at Sister Liu.
Sister Liu savored the wine carefully, looked up at Daiyu calmly and nodded slightly.
Daiyu smiled.
Jing Bo felt as if he was in a cloud of fog.
Xiao Hong smiled and explained to him quietly: "The princess loves this sweet soup, so she looked at Sister Liu and wanted to ask her if she could make it. Sister Liu tried it and thought it was okay. The princess was happy."
Jingbo stroked his beard and laughed.
He also didn't expect that his young master would bring all the people from the capital with him to eat the river food today.
These people seemed to be completely devoted and loyal to the princess, which made him feel more at ease.
All kinds of raw fish, blood clams, drunken shrimps, and crabs were served, as well as steamed sea bass, boiled razor clams, the famous Jiangnan Water Eight Immortals, West Lake Longjing tea, and other light and sweet dishes and drinks, filling up two tables.
Just looking at the small plate, one chopstick per person would not have enough food, and soon the men at the table were eager to eat.
"Uncle Jing, do they have stewed pork elbow here?!" A bodyguard couldn't help it, touched his belly and growled.
Lin Jing snorted disdainfully: "Ignorant bastard! Wait!"
Aunt Meng was rushing towards a plate of glutinous rice and sweet lotus root. When she heard what Lin Jing said, she immediately put down her chopsticks.
Sure enough, after a while, the boatman's wife came up, looked at the two tables, laughed, and called down, "Come on, get on board!"
I saw two waiters, each on one side, holding up a huge plate, and there was a pig's head on it!
Xiaohong and Xueyan both exclaimed and quickly turned their heads away.
Only Aunt Meng and Qingwen's eyes lit up immediately. Like the group of rough men at the table, they clenched their chopsticks in their hands and swallowed their saliva!
"This is a Yangzhou dish, roasted pig's head! I see that all of you have northern accents, so I think meat is more substantial. Please try it!"
"This is the famous pig's head roasted with a piece of firewood. It's fat but not greasy, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. You don't even have to swallow it. The meat slides down your throat when you put it in your mouth!"
The boatman's wife described it with a smile, and instructed the waiter to put the pig's head on the table of male guests. She then took a large plate and cut a piece from each part of the pig's head - so that she could not see the appearance of the pig, and still enjoy the delicious taste of the meat.
Then he placed the dish of meat on the table of the female guests, and smiled and winked at Daiyu: "I prepared cherry meat and honey-glazed hotpot just for the girls! They are stinky men, don't you think they are tasty!"
Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, thank you, sister boatwoman. But I love to eat fresh fish, so make two more servings of the fish, shrimp and crab just now.
"Add two more sets of Longjing shrimp, whitebait and water shield, stewed mullet eggs, and barbel lung soup.
"I know you have hot and sour recipes, don't worry, just make it. I won't eat it, but they want to try it too."
The boatman's wife was amazed at this dish: "The old man said you guys don't know how to eat, but this little girl can eat much better than you!"
Everyone laughed: "The boatman's wife has good taste!"
After a while, the boatman's wife rowed the boat and went to the far side of the building. There were a few small black sails. It was pitch black all around, but inside the sails there was a different world with a few clear lights.
The boatman's wife did not get on board, but stood by, handing over a box and smiling, "Enjoy your meal, sirs and ladies."
Sitting at the stern, a young man dressed as a gangster turned around and it was Feng Ziying.
He looked at the dishes in the box with amusement, then looked at the boatman's wife: "My dear, a pig's head is served on three tables. Do you think you don't know the value of the dish?!"
