Chapter 481: Eating Meat (First update, please vote for me)
The sisters-in-law each have their own doubts.
When Concubine Hui and the two concubines returned, they looked at the Queen Mother eagerly.
These people were all curious, wanting to know the reason for the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and how they got involved with Shu Shu.
The Queen Mother hid the unpleasant words and told the story of Brother Fourteen's order.
My sisters-in-law didn't expect this to be the reason.
For two envelopes of money, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had such an ugly fight?
Concubine Rong is the concubine. Except for the Queen Mother, there is no one with a higher status than her. To actually argue with her daughter-in-law over money, she is too short-sighted.
Jiu Gege asked curiously: "I heard that the third sister-in-law has always been loose-handed. How big is the silver seal?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "Who knows this? If you reward me, I will reward you. It's not wrong to have three blessings. If the money is spent, if the fourteenth brother is picky, he will go to the dining room. Spend money to save worry, and you will not lose money."
Shu Shu really knows this.
Because Xiaotang went to the dining room several times and listened to it.
It is a silver envelope of twenty taels of silver. Two envelopes of silver are equal to forty taels.
It's not conspicuous, but it's not too little.
The purse Shu Shu asked Xiaotang to take today was two and a half taels.
She felt bored.
I'd better do less in the future.
But this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also hate it. How they fight is their housework, why are they getting involved in it?
When the fourteenth elder brother sent someone to ask for food, she would have something to say.
Resolutely refuse to give it, and don't cause this trouble.
She remembered something and immediately told Xiaosong: "Go and tell the news in the dining room. There are no dishes from Zhongcuigong's empress's boat tonight!"
Komatsu went immediately.
Everyone looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu explained to the Queen Mother: "For the recipe I just thought of, because of the Imperial Grandmother's words, my granddaughter-in-law also put a reward in the dining room to send some everywhere. Now my granddaughter-in-law is not happy!"
How can people please everyone?
If you are not friendly to yourself, then go away.
People tend to make this mistake, neglecting to treat people who are good to them and trying to please people who are not good to them.
I am not a bad-tempered person, I don't have that problem.
The Queen Mother was right about the big rules, but she was more casual about small things. She nodded and said: "If you don't like it, don't give it to them. If they want to eat, let them order it themselves!"
Wufujin and Jiugege didn't say anything.
They must be biased towards Shu Shu.
He didn't mean to persuade her to take the overall situation into consideration.
How can there be such a big picture?
The outside world should pay attention to "family harmony and everything will be prosperous", but the royal family does not pay attention to that.
The royal family is very particular. If you don't recruit me, I won't recruit you either. Let's all be well.
If you really want to recruit someone, don't be afraid. Otherwise, don't complain about being bullied.
So, when we arrived at Youzheng and had a late dinner, except for the few masters on Concubine Rong's ship, everyone else got to experience a famous dish called "Dongpo Pork".
There is also an extra dish of hot and sour boiled pork slices for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
Kangxi was busy on the road these days. Although most of the time was on the boat, he also spent a lot of time inspecting the dams, walking two to thirty miles a day.
I am indeed very tired and have no appetite at the moment.
When he saw the food on the table, he wanted to enjoy the food without throwing away any money.
Liang Jiugong saw this and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, these two dishes are new dishes in the dining room. They are the additions ordered by the Queen Mother to be served to the emperor."
Kangxi then looked carefully at the dining table, where there was a roasted meat and a bowl of vegetables.
He thought of the news about the fleet, and was deeply moved that the Queen Mother had been a vegetarian these days.
Although I haven't used my chopsticks yet, the sour aroma of the dishes is hitting my nostrils.
Kangxi used his chopsticks. The meat slices were sour and spicy, and the roasted meat was tender and soft, fat but not greasy.
With these two dishes, I eat half a bowl more rice.
There is cabbage under the meat slices, and the soup tastes just right after being soaked in it.
Kangxi took a few bites, then turned his eyes to the roasted meat and tasted the aroma of wine.
Looking at the shape and size of this dish, the allusion comes to mind.
"Is this Jiufujin's recipe?"
Kangxi asked.
Liang Jiugong nodded and said: "That's right. The dining room has taken a fancy to this dish. The manager wanted to kowtow to Jiu Fujin. Jiu Fujin didn't see him, so he told them to prepare the recipe for them these days..."
Kangxi didn't say anything.
This daughter-in-law is not stingy.
Brother Ninth also cares a lot in his words, but in fact he is loose-minded.
The couple can raise money, but they can also spread it.
They are not reassuring, and they are still thinking about living separately, and they don’t know what their life will be like...

In the Queen Mother's room.
Today, the Queen Mother is serving meat, so the banquet will be open again.
The grandson, granddaughter-in-law, and granddaughter also gathered around.
This roasted pork is different from the usual table and plate.
Today it’s based on head count.
One serving per person.
Each bowl contains four one-inch square pieces of Dongpo pork.
The queen mother took a bite and found it soft and delicious, but after taking a look at the fifth elder brother, she slowed down.
The fifth elder brother looked up, happened to see it, and said hurriedly: "Grandma Huang, you don't need to leave it to your grandson, I will eat Fujin's..."
As he said that, he looked down at Wufujin.
Fujin never likes to use meat and fish, and usually doesn't touch fat meat.
After Wu Fujin heard this, he pushed his bowl in front of the fifth elder brother and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law will use less later..."
The Queen Mother disapproved and said: "You can gain weight by eating more at night. What you eat during the day has been digested. How can you gain weight?"
Wu Fujin smiled and listened without nodding.
She still doesn't want to change her eating habits.
If she were as wealthy as the Queen Mother and Fifth Prince, she was worried that she wouldn't be used to it...

On Concubine Hui's boat.
Concubine Hui is also having a meal, and the eldest brother is also there.
Seeing that her son had become much darker and his cheeks shrunken in a few days, Concubine Hui pushed her Dongpo flesh away.
There are three pieces left in it.
The eldest brother had finished his own portion. Looking at these pieces of meat, he felt a toothache: "What's going on in the dining room? This is pork, and it's not a rare thing. Why is there only such a small amount?"
"
One chopstick, four bites in total, enough for who?
For those who didn’t know, they thought it was dragon meat, which is so valuable.
It's obviously ordinary food, but it looks very expensive.
Concubine Hui said: "Dishes added at last minute are not orders made in advance."
Concubine Hui knew it was Shu Shu's idea, but she didn't mention it specifically.
It doesn't matter if you talk to a junior about something good or bad, isn't that the same as Concubine Rong?
The eldest brother took out a piece of meat, pushed the remaining two pieces back, and said, "My son has almost eaten. This meat is burnt to a pulp and not greasy at all. You should also take a few more bites..."
Concubine Hui stopped trying to persuade her and ate it too, saying, "The eunuch who delivered the meal said that this dish is on the meal plate today. If you want to eat it, you can send someone to order it."
The eldest brother nodded, already planning to order five or six portions of this amount tomorrow and eat to his heart's content.
Thinking of today's farce, Concubine Hui said nothing but said: "Stay away from the third child from now on..."
The eldest brother swallowed all the food in his mouth and said, "What's the trouble again?"
Shu Shu's reputation was involved, but Concubine Hui did not go into details. She only said: "It is very unseemly for someone who talks nonsense all day long to stir up trouble between his mother and his wife."
The eldest brother sneered: "It's getting more and more stupid..."
Just because Fujin was from a good family and had a generous dowry, he was so favored that he insisted on suppressing him.
It's simply baffling.
I only heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were quarreling with each other, but I didn't hear that the couple had to distinguish themselves from each other.

On Concubine Rong's boat.
Concubine Rong did not eat, and did not notice any difference between the dining table and the previous one.
When it came to the dinner table, I rewarded the people around me directly.
Her chest was so tight,
She was so humiliated today, she looked towards the back cabin and gritted her teeth.
She was really uncomfortable and irritable. She couldn't sleep well at night and she was always sweating.
I originally planned to call the imperial doctor today, but now that this has happened, it’s hard to call someone.
Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, it would be as if she was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.
If the emperor finds out, he will definitely be unhappy.
The results of it?
Dong E's family became ill.
As soon as Third Brother came back, he was invited over by her people.
Across the board of the boat, Concubine Rong could hear her crying "嘤嘤嘤", so it goes without saying that she would definitely file a complaint.
Concubine Rong wished she could scold her immediately, but because the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers in front of her had already returned, she couldn't speak loudly.
*
In the Thirteenth Brother's cabin, the Fourteenth Brother is also there.
After moving here, the two brothers ate together.
Looking at the dozen or so dishes on the table, Brother Thirteen looked helpless on his face and advised: "You can't eat these, so I'd better ask for less next time!"
Brother Fourteen said disapprovingly: "I can't eat it, but I just want to reward those around me..."
The Thirteenth Brother shook his head and said: "Not only this, there are only eight dishes served by Khan Ama and the Imperial Grandmother."
So if they eat ten dishes, it's a bit excessive.
Brother Fourteen stretched out his hand and gestured on the table: "Those six paths belong to Brother Thirteen, and these four are mine. There are ten paths in total. Why are there so many?"
Brother Thirteen frowned after hearing this, looked at the table and said, "Why am I the Sixth Path?"
The example of the prince's brother's trip this time is four dishes,
The Six Paths on my side did not exceed the Imperial Palace and the Queen Mother, but they were more numerous than my brothers who were ennobled!
Brother Fourteen blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't Brother Thirteen the elder brother? We don't have to tell the dining room which dish is your order and which dish is mine for the food we two have, right?"
Brother Thirteen saw the scapegoat and grabbed it in front of his face. He laughed angrily and said, "Starting tomorrow, we'll share the food. You can order whatever you like. I'll eat my four regular dishes!"
As for today's meal, of course it cannot be wasted.
This blame cannot be taken for nothing.
That is to say, the fourteenth brother is still immature now. He really thinks that asking the eunuch next to him to order food in someone else's name will prevent him from getting the reputation of being greedy and picky.
This is the southern patrol team, where the Holy Master is, loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Is there any news that Khan Amma doesn’t know?
Brother Fourteen’s little tricks are just jokes to deceive himself and others.
What's going on with today's dish?
Most of them are small stir-fries, not big dishes.
As the thirteenth brother ate, he was picky about the dish.
The fourteenth elder brother also looked at the dishes and felt that he had nowhere to put his chopsticks. He said with dissatisfaction: "What's the matter? There is no serious dish?"
After that, he called the eunuch next to him and said, "What did you say when you go to the dining room this afternoon? Why are you cooking all the dishes today, and the dishes are just a tiger skin elbow and a cabbage ball?"
The eunuch bowed and said, "I heard that I was cooking new dishes in the kitchen and occupied several stoves..."
"Flattery!"
Brother Fourteen muttered something.
Is this because Khan Amma’s royal boat has returned and new dishes are prepared in the dining room?
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother and complained: "Khan Ama is the same, why did he move us here? If he didn't move us over, he could still eat with Khan Ama, so there is no need to worry about eating and drinking by himself.
?”
Brother Thirteen did not answer the call, he was curious about the new dishes in the dining room.
"What kind of big dish is so complicated, how many stoves does it take up?"
Then when the new dishes are tried, will they be put on the dining room list?
If they have a chance in the future, they can order it and try it.
The eunuch didn't answer immediately. There was a look of confusion on his face, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Brother Fourteen rolled his eyes and said with a "hehe" smile: "It won't be some messy eating, right? What to eat and what to supplement?"
The eunuch shook his head and said, "That's not true. I heard it's just roasting meat, a new way of doing it."
When the fourteenth elder brother heard this, his face suddenly dropped.
"How many stoves does one roast pork occupy? The people in the kitchen are so greedy. They feel that forty taels of silver are short, and they are not willing to let me order food? These bastards, I want to settle the score with them!"
