Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled
Chapter 170 Respond Calmly 2
The riverside banquet started on time.
The maids served various delicious dishes.
The Tian Qin Kingdom likes the separate dining system. The maids put a dish on the table and then distribute it to the ladies.
The first dish is a small cold dish, cold diced lotus root.
"I'm pregnant and can't eat anything outside. Su Shu, give me some snacks."
Ye Yanran put her hands on the plate to prevent the maid from putting the food on it.
"Sister, you are really unlucky. I specially invited a chef to cook for the Linjiang Banquet."
Seeing Ye Yanran being so pretentious, Ye Jintang was not unhappy. It was just right that she didn't eat. Most of the dishes today were produced in her space, and eating them would be good for her health.
The other ladies had also seen the world, and at first they were not attracted by the small cold dish. Instead, they took a bite with their chopsticks and were about to put down their chopsticks.
Unexpectedly, just for this small cold dish, they never put down their chopsticks.
"This lotus root cube is really good, crispy, sweet, refreshing and with a hint of fragrance."
Mrs. Qi, who usually has very strict requirements on food, couldn't help but praise the dish after just one bite.
"As long as Madam Qi likes it, I promise that all the dishes in today's banquet will not disappoint you."
Ye Jintang is still very confident about this.
"Sister, it's not easy to end up bragging. The ladies present here have eaten all kinds of delicacies, and I don't know how many banquets I have attended in the palace. It's not easy for my sister to not disappoint everyone."
Ye Yanran took a sip of the fruit tea with a look of disdain on her face. She thought to herself that Ye Jintang was indeed from a small place. He felt that he was quite capable just by making some diced lotus roots. It was really ridiculous.
"Don't be anxious, big sister. You will know in a moment. Just don't be greedy and want to eat it then."
Ye Jintang is not someone who is easy to deal with. He blocks Ye Yanran's way directly, and when the main dish is served, she will be so greedy that she will die.
While we were talking, the second dish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, was served.
Just now it was in the water, this time it’s on the mountain.
There are many varieties of mushrooms, both expensive and cheap.
The mushrooms, which had absorbed the chicken soup, were extremely tender when bitten. For a moment, none of the ladies at the table spoke and all concentrated on eating.
The second dish was like this, so Ye Jintang was naturally confident about the following main dishes.
Five dishes were served in a row, including chicken, duck and beef. The sixth dish was the highlight of the day, black fish with scallion oil.
Ordinary scallion oil black fish is made by cutting the fish into slices, blanching it in boiling water, then sprinkling scallions on it and pouring hot oil on it.
But in order to preserve the freshness of the fish, Chef Ye Jintang simply skipped the process of boiling the fish.
Just blanch the fish head and bones in boiling water, then place the sliced fish fillets on a plate, sprinkle with chopped green onions and drizzle with hot oil.
This is what the chefs do, and it is a great test of their knife skills and the quality of the black fish.
It is well known that fish easily has a bad smell. If the quality is not good, it is easy to fail if it is cooked so lightly.
As for knife skills, if you only use hot oil, the hot oil may not necessarily cook the slices if they are a little thicker.
The black carp that Ye Jintang raised with spring water for a few days were obviously much bigger than when he first bought them.
When making black fish with scallion oil, the largest fish plate in the kitchen couldn't hold it all. When it was served on the table, the tail of the big black fish was still outside.
"Oh my god, this black fish must weigh more than 20 kilograms."
Madam Qi looked at the big black fish on the table with excitement. When the maid brought it to her just now, she smelled a strong aroma and wondered how it would taste.
"Madam Qi has a good eye. The smallest snakehead fish served on the table today weighs 22 jin, and the one on our table weighs 26 jin."
"My goodness, it's not easy for a black fish to grow this big."
Mrs. Song next to her agreed with a smile, "Who told us that everyone loves to eat black fish? The black fish in the capital are eaten before they can grow big."
The black fish was placed on the table, and the aroma filled the air.
Ye Yanran hadn't eaten lunch in the first place, and had long finished the snacks she had when she came. When she smelled the aroma of the black fish with scallion oil, her stomach couldn't help but growl.
She swallowed, picked up the fruit tea and took a sip.
At this moment, she really wanted to taste the black fish with scallion oil, but she had just said that she would not eat the dishes at the banquet. If she went back on her word now, she was afraid that she would be laughed at by the ladies.
Gritting her teeth, the hungry Ye Yanran said indifferently, "Hey, after I got pregnant, I can't stand the smell of fish. I feel nauseous just by looking at it."
"When my sister was choosing the dishes, she didn't even consider me, a pregnant woman."
"Oh, I almost forgot, my sister has never been pregnant before, so she doesn't know how hard it is to be pregnant for ten months."
Seeing Ye Jintang stealing the show today, Ye Yanran became jealous beyond belief.
Why should a silly girl from a remote village take the spotlight from her? Before she came to the capital, she was clearly the one who attracted the most attention.
The more Ye Yanran thought about it, the angrier she became, and her words became somewhat impolite.
If it were someone else, due to her status, they would just endure a few hurtful words from her.
Unfortunately, Ye Jintang is not someone who is easy to mess with, and he won't spoil her.
"It was my younger sister who was inconsiderate. She only wanted my elder sister to come and have some fun together, but she ignored the fact that my elder sister was pregnant and had a poor appetite."
"If I remember correctly, my sister is already more than seven months pregnant. Why is she still reacting so strongly?"
Ye Jintang spoke so naturally that Ye Yanran didn't react for a moment and just went along with what she said.
"It was not easy for me to get pregnant, and it happened to be summer. Others of this stage would have been able to eat and drink, but I couldn't eat anything all day."
As soon as Ye Yanran finished speaking, she saw that Mrs. Wang opposite her had a bad expression on her face, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She had been married into Prince Qi's mansion for only two months, but she was already more than seven months pregnant. Wasn't it obvious that she was pregnant before marriage?
It is one thing for everyone to know it secretly, and it is another thing to say it openly.
Some more conservative old ladies naturally couldn't stand Ye Yanran's behavior.
Ye Yanran had already been in the spotlight because of her pregnancy at Yuchun Hall just now. Now that she brought up the matter again at the Linjiang Banquet, it would be more than just about seeking attention.
"The relationship between Princess Qi and Princess Qin is really very close. She is so pregnant and has to come to attend Princess Qin's banquet by the river."
"We are eating delicious food here, but Princess Qi can only drink fruit tea and watch us eat. We feel a little embarrassed."
Old Madam Wang looked at Ye Yanran with a cold face.
Old Madam Wang is the cousin of Emperor Jing, and her words carry a lot of weight. Even Ye Yanran has to be timid in front of her.
"Madam Wang is joking. I was obviously hungry when I came here, but I felt sick in my stomach after drinking two cups of tea.
Ye Yanran was extremely depressed for a moment. Ye Jintang really kept bringing up issues that were not relevant. Now everyone else was eating while she was the only one watching like a fool.
