Chapter 69 The humiliation of betel nut has no place.
Liu Yu said this to Liu Muzhi, and unconsciously chewed a piece of water in his mouth. The mutton and fish and shrimp meat were mixed together, and it was like a chemical reaction. The mutton smell mixed with the fish and shrimp meat.
All the fishy smell is gone.
Liu Muzhi took a big sip of the soup and said with a smile: "My slave, when Confucius was traveling around the world, he encountered obstacles everywhere and struggled to move. He even had difficulty eating. As a result, his disciples went down to the river to catch fish and brought them back.
I killed a sheep, ate it, and cooked the fish and mutton together. It tasted surprisingly good!"
"You must know that Confucius was not only a great Confucian, but also a gourmet. You cannot go without knowing the taste of meat for three days. If he thought it was good, it must be a delicacy in the world. From then on, the word came like this. It means fish and sheep put together.
, you understand."
Liu Yu smiled hoarsely and said: "So that's how this bright character comes from. I've learned a lot."
The two of them were eating and chatting like this, and watching the greetings of the guests and hosts in the hall. Liu Yu suddenly found that Liu Muzhi had finished eating, and was now looking at the small couch above his seat.
When I served the last remaining bowl of water shield porridge, I was obviously interested.
Liu Yu knew that Liu Muzhi had no other big hobbies in his life. Apart from reading, he just liked eating. Today, he shamelessly came to his father-in-law's house for the wedding banquet. Firstly, he wanted to declare to the world that he was the son-in-law of the Jiang family. Secondly, he was absolutely
I won’t treat my stomach badly.
Liu Yu smiled and handed the bowl of water shield soup to Liu Muzhi: "Fat man, eat it, you're welcome."
Liu Muzhi licked his lips. Apparently, reason and his appetite were fighting in his body. He shook his head: "This, how can you be so embarrassed? This is your food."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Although this water shield and chicken shredded soup is also delicious, it is a specialty of our Jiangnan after all. You can eat it every day. I have already finished the fish and mutton soup, and I have also eaten crabs. Now
It’s quite filling, I’ll give you this bowl.”
Liu Muzhi laughed and took the big bowl of soup with the fragrance of water shield: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Jinu, you helped me a lot today. I will definitely repay this favor in the future."
Liu Yu secretly sighed in his heart, Liu Muzhi was a scholar after all, and his face was still a bit thin. If he hadn't been by his side to support him, he probably wouldn't have come in. This son-in-law of the Jiang family, he should be considered a coward.
Yes, he rejected his two brothers-in-law, and he didn't even have a share in this kind of wedding banquet. Even now, Mr. Jiang is greeting Liu Linzong, Police Shen and others, but Jiang Bo and Jiang Lang have not come to talk to him at all.
The brother-in-law said a few words, and the warmth and coldness of his feelings were so great.
But Liu Muzhi was obviously not thinking about these things now. He finished the last bite of the soup in the bowl, and licked the rim of the exquisitely crafted celadon bowl, then closed his eyes and savored it.
Then he let out a long sigh: "If there were so many delicious food every day, then there would be no regrets in life."
Liu Yu curled his lips. At the beginning of the banquet today, Mr. Jiang introduced Liu Muzhi to all the guests. Now that they are full of wine and food, the purpose of coming has been fully achieved. Some local guests from Jingkou,
They had already begun to say goodbye and were preparing to leave. The hall, which had always been noisy, now became even more noisy.
"Fat man, you've finished eating too, can you go?"
Liu Muzhi nodded and was about to stand up when he saw several servants walking towards the kitchen. Different from when they were serving food, each of them had a small plate. Now they each carried a large wooden plate with something on it.
There were piles of yellow, longan-sized fruits that seemed to weigh more than ten kilograms.
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Why did I forget this? After eating so many good things, my stomach will be bloated. I need to eat some betel nut to digest it. Come on, send slaves, let's go get some
Betel nut."
In this era, betel nut was produced in Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and a small amount of betel nut was also produced in the Sanwu area. Of course, only rich people could afford it, and poor people like Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi were rarely seen.
Liu Yu frowned. In fact, growing up, Liu Yu rarely had a full meal. Hungry was his childhood memory: "Fat man, why do you do this thing? This is not betel nut."
We poor people have food to eat, so it’s better to leave. I don’t think they have given it to us either.”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Jinu, you don't know, these are the way a large family eats. They have to digest them after eating. Since these betel nuts are brought up, they are for us to help ourselves. Come on, let's go
Take it."
As he spoke, he walked directly towards the four large plates of betel nut placed on one side of the hall.
Liu Linzong and others came forward to get the betel nut one by one, then returned to their seats and continued to talk and laugh. Liu Yu felt relieved. It seemed that he really got this thing by himself, and now the whole hall seemed to be filled with laughter.
No one cares who takes these betel nuts.
Liu Muzhi walked towards a large plate of betel nuts. His plump hands had already stretched out from his sleeves, ready to take the largest betel nuts piled in the center of the plate, and his eyes began to shine.
"Wait a minute!" A cold voice sounded beside Liu Muzhi. This voice made Liu Muzhi lower his hand that he had just raised.
Liu Muzhi turned his head in surprise, only to find that Jiang Bo's face was full of anger.
Liu Yu's heart sank, secretly thinking that it was terrible, what he feared most had happened. Jiang Bo and Jiang Lang had seen Liu Muzhi today, but they turned a blind eye. The Jiang brothers who had endured a whole banquet,
It finally broke out at the end.
Liu Muzhi forced out a smile: "Uncle, what advice do you have?"
Jiang Bo's lips curled up: "Brother-in-law, may I ask, what are you doing now?"
Liu Muzhi's smile gradually dissipated: "We've finished eating, can't we get some betel nuts to help us eat?"
The conversation between the two people echoed in the hall. At this time, everyone else who was talking stopped their conversation and looked over. This allowed every word they said to be heard clearly.
In the ears of more than a hundred guests in the hall.
Jiang Bo suddenly burst out laughing: "Brother-in-law, I think you can't eat this betel nut."
Even though he was a clay figurine, Liu Muzhi still had a bit of fire in him. His face darkened: "Why can't I eat it?"
When Jiang Zhi saw that something was wrong, he immediately stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said with a hint of sullenness in his voice: "Jiang Bo, today is a happy day for our Jiang family. Don't let others laugh at you."
