Hope for luck

Chapter 475
Faced with Gao Ruoqian's question, Gao Pan did not rush to explain, but let everyone sit at the long table in the hall, and called many maidservants to pour them a bowl of hot soup.

Walking to the front of the hall, he lifted the gauze, and gusts of cold wind blew in, making several people shrink their necks, Gao Pan then explained:

"Big sister, look, this gauze has the effect of insulating the temperature, and you can see the surrounding scenery through the gauze. In the hall, I had someone prepare the heater to come in. Do you see this long bamboo tube?" , the heating comes from the stove next door..."

"In winter, here is the warm pavilion. In summer, this place is the gazebo. This place is located in a place with good ventilation. In midsummer, it is an excellent place to escape from the heat!"

After hearing Gao Pan's introduction, everyone was fascinated. Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan couldn't help walking around, looking at this and pointing at that...

Shen Jinhua's face was full of spring, and she pulled Gao Lanshu to sit at the long table. She felt very warm. When she lifted the cushion of the long table, she saw that there was a stove burning charcoal under the long table. No wonder it felt so warm.

And there was only Gao Zhuo alone, sitting alone at a small table beside him, not saying anything, when someone looked at him, he would follow him with a silly smile, and when no one was looking at him, he sat straight and did not look around , not to mention looking at Shen Jinhua and the others.

Seeing this, Gao Pan called Gao Zhuo over to help grill the skewers. These skewers were mutton and beef that Gao Pan had prepared earlier.

Following Gao Pan's greeting, the hall became lively, and some maidservants came in with plates, which were some ingredients.

There is also a huge 'hot pot'. With the barbecue, Gao Pan will naturally not forget the hot pot, the best delicacy in winter, and let people make it in his free time.

Shen Jinhua and the others were all amazed and didn't understand how to eat these.

Seeing that Gao Pan was very busy in front of a shelf, all the girls felt dumbfounded.

But Joy didn't understand, even though Gao Pan had already called Gao Zhuo to help, but Gao Zhuo still looked neither salty nor dull, as if he was out of tune with the scene in front of him.

Gao Pan saw him like this, so he didn't say any more, he had already taken care of Gao Zhuo, if so, Gao Zhuo was still lukewarm, then there was nothing he could do.

After a while, the smell of meat wafted in the hall, making people move their index fingers. Now, Shen Jinhua and the others finally understood why Gao Pan called this way of eating 'barbecue'.

Although the recipes of the dishes at this time are already very detailed and delicate, after all, the novel way of eating that Gao Pan showed them now still makes them feel novel.

"Okay, let's try it quickly, don't eat too fast, be careful of burning your mouth!"

After all, Gao Pan didn't do all this to please everyone. Naturally, he couldn't keep grilling skewers for everyone.

After roasting a few skewers, Gao Pan handed them to Shen Jinhua to try, and then ordered the cook on the side to bake. At the same time, Gao Zhuo was free, and Gao Pan asked him to sit down and eat with everyone.

Afterwards, after hearing everyone's unanimous praise, Gao Pan pleaded guilty, saying that he was going to prepare, and left the hall.

Shen Jinhua understood, and hurriedly took Gao Pan's big stick, and ordered the maids to serve food and snacks for everyone as a master.

It was the first time they saw this kind of long table, and it was also the first time they ate a kind of banquet. Naturally, the Gao family's food was very particular, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, but the meat and vegetables were evenly mixed.

The women who are used to fine food, tasted the taste of barbecue for the first time, and they already thought it was delicious, and they all thought it was good.

……

"How is it? Is there any movement in Prince Lu's Mansion?"

After getting away, Gao Pan came to the front hall of the manor, looked at Gao Zhen who had come to report and asked.

Gao Zhen bowed and replied:
"Master Hui, there is no movement in the current news!"

After Gao Pan heard this, he frowned tightly and felt a little bit disappointed in his heart. If King Lu didn't come, then his preparations today would be in vain.

It is very difficult for a lady from a rich family to have the opportunity to show her face, not to mention that Gao Pan wants to invite Lu Wang to appear, which is even more rare.

After thinking about it, Gao Pan narrowed his eyes and waved his hand:

"Send some of the ingredients here to Qianying Villa, and tell Madam, I'll be there soon!"

After Gao Zhen heard this, he immediately agreed, and without further ado, he took some of the ingredients that Gao Pan had mentioned to the Qianying Villa next door.

As spies of the intelligence agency, only Gao Pan can order them to do such a thing.

But for Gao Pan, he can only let Gao Zhen do it, and let others, I am afraid it will be heard by Shen Jinhua.

The barbecue feast is equipped here, and Gao Pan will naturally not forget about Ning Yan and Luoying. In fact, earlier, Gao Pan had made these things for the two of them in Qianying Villa.

Today, it was just to create a chance for Lu Wang and Gao Lanshu to meet each other.

Seeing that King Lu didn't move, Gao Pan sighed a few times, put away his worries, smiled, and returned to the warm hall.

It was just around noon at this time, and it was lunch time. Everyone was in the warming room, eating barbecue hot pot while enjoying the snow scene outside, feeling very uncomfortable.

Gao Pan also experienced many banquets in his previous life, so he naturally knew how to warm up the scene. During the banquet, he also acted as a 'clown', telling some jokes and making all the girls laugh beautifully.

The only one who just laughed with him was Gao Zhuo, who sat at the end of the long table far away from the others.

However, there were two maidservants standing behind him, and they didn't seem deserted. There was also a lot of food in front of him, but Gao Zhuo was like a kitten, and he stopped eating after a few mouthfuls.

Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan were elder sisters and sisters-in-law, both of them took care of Gao Zhuo as much as possible, but even so, Gao Zhuo just responded politely and laughed a few times.

Seeing this, Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan stopped caring about him and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun.

Naturally, Gao Pan also understands that you can't eat too much barbecue. After everyone tasted some, Gao Pan was withdrawn, and he only ate some food that warms the stomach and nourishes the body.

It took an hour to eat, and it was already afternoon after eating, so Gao Pan led a few people around the garden, and when everyone said they were tired, he led them back to the warm hall.

"This is a new plaything I prepared for everyone, mahjong tiles!"

Gao Pan took out the mahjong bamboo tiles that he had prepared. Gao Ruoqian, Lu Sixuan, Shen Jinhua, and Gao Lanshu could join a table together.

The four of them are people with a heart and soul, Gao Pan just explained the rules once, and after the four of them touched the cards for a round, they already understood it, and they didn't need Gao Pan to guide them, they played cards on their own.

Seeing this, Gao Pan couldn't laugh or cry, he understood that there was a reason why this mahjong became popular in later generations.

As for Gao Zhuo, Gao Pan didn't neglect him, and asked him what he meant, Gao Zhuo said that he wanted to go back to the mansion, but Gao Pan didn't stop him, and asked him to send him back to the mansion.
