Chapter 1737

Zheng Qiaoer then said to the tablet, "I came here today to recognize Shuang'er as my daughter. From now on, I will treat her like a treasure and treat her like my own daughter."

After she finished speaking, she bowed three more times.

Chi Shuang's eyes were blurred with tears. It was not until this moment that she truly realized that the mistress of the Duke of Huguo's mansion was not kidding when she wanted to adopt her as her daughter.

Everyone took turns burning incense, everyone was solemn.

It was not until everyone moved into the dining hall that the previous liveliness returned.

The meals were prepared by Bei Hui and the others and brought over from the Young Master's Mansion, packed in exquisite black food boxes wrapped with gold horns.

Some dishes needed to be steamed again, so Hongyan would start making the fire.

The firewood and pots and pans were all prepared in advance.

Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with the sound of people and the smell of fireworks. The originally cold house was actually heated up by the bustle.

Who would have thought that this small place was full of hidden talents, some powerful, some rich, some famous. All the powerful, rich, and famous people gathered in this small courtyard.

Chi Shuang felt that this was a dream, and it would be better if it could last a little longer.

When the banquet was set, she was shocked to find that there was not a single piece of meat on the table, and even the wine was replaced by a cup of tea.

Her heart trembled slightly. Everyone was so considerate that they chose plain clothes to wear. Blue, gray, white, and black, without any bright colors.

Such thoughtfulness was clearly out of sympathy for her as she was still in mourning for her brother.

Chi Shuang sat quietly beside Zheng Qiaoer, with misty eyes.

Have a banquet.

Chi Shuang was reserved and lowered her head.

Zheng Qiaoer kept using the serving chopsticks to pick up food for her.

Chi Shuang had never tasted such delicious food before. It was so strange that a vegetarian dish could taste like meat.

During the meal, Shi Anxia asked Qiu Hongyan to introduce the names of the dishes to everyone.

When it comes to this, Qiu Hongyan is the one who takes the lead. She is the one who prepares today's dishes and is very confident.

Golden Wind and Jade Dew is sweet osmanthus candied lotus root with glutinous white lotus seeds. The glutinous rice is stuffed into the lotus root holes like condensed dew, and the osmanthus flowers are like broken gold.

One Leaf Knows Autumn is a dish of pan-fried king oyster mushrooms carved into the shape of maple leaves. The texture of the mushroom flesh is like leaf veins, and the pepper and salt seasoning resemble autumn frost.

Listening to Pines in Kongshan is a pine nut and mushroom soup served in a bamboo tube. When the soup boils, the pine fragrance wafts around like the sound of pine waves.

Cold Pond Crossing Wild Geese is a soup with water chestnuts and tofu. The water chestnuts are like pond stones, and the tofu carved into the shape of geese floats in the air.

......

Qiu Hongyan told the story in detail. At the end, she said, "I came up with the dishes, but my sister Xiaer came up with these elegant names."

Shi Anxia picked up the teacup, the mist blurred the smile on her lips, "That year when I was in mourning, my little beauty used all kinds of ways to coax me with vegetarian dishes. Today's meal reminds me of her chasing me around the yard, asking me to eat a few more bites."

Everyone listened with great interest, imagining the scene.

Bei Hui and the others had a more vivid memory, remembering that the Madam was hiding everywhere, and Qiu Hongyan was chasing her all over the yard, shouting, "Sister Xia'er, please eat another bite, eat another bite."

Shi Anxia replied helplessly, "Don't just focus on me, I'm getting fat! You can ask everyone in the hospital to get fat, and I'll accept it if everyone gets fat like a ball."

At this moment, An Xia suddenly looked at Chi Shuang and said in a softer voice, "Sister Shuang'er, I'll ask Hongyan to copy the menu for you later. You can make a few dishes according to the menu in your free time, which can add some flavor to your plain life."

The implication is that from now on, although the years will be plain, you can still cook snow and make tea, plant flowers and grass. Even if it is a simple life, you will have money and leisure, and it will be enjoyable.

This life is still long.

Chi Shuang responded softly, "Okay," but her throat suddenly choked.

She lowered her head in a hurry, and a tear fell on the edge of the celadon bowl. Then the second and third drops followed, leaving dark dots on her plain white clothes.

Zheng Qiaoer said, "Oh my dear," and wiped Chi Shuang's tears with a handkerchief, "How did this bring out your tears?"
