Chapter 103 Order Takeout

The situation changed because of Mrs. Xue.

Xue's heart is arrogant, and she doesn't look down on the son of her brother's concubine at all. Song Lian is not in Beijing on weekdays, and she takes Song Chengye back to Xue's house to visit when she has nothing to do. That concubine is not worthy to eat at the same table with her, so the young Song Chengye , and only Xue Liner is a playmate.

As a child, if you are used to playing with someone, you can't wait to stay together during the day and at night.

When it was time to leave, Song Chengye held his little cousin's hand and refused to let go. After a long time, Mrs. Xue had the idea of ​​pointing Xue Lin'er to Song Chengye.

After all, she has a relationship with her son's childhood sweetheart, and she is also her own niece. In the future, she will marry into the Duke's mansion, and there will be fewer conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It would be a beautiful thing for the two families to get closer.

Xue Aokun couldn't ask for it, and Lin also felt elated, and only then did she start showing interest in Xue Lin'er.

Therefore, as long as Xue Lin'er can remember, her parents have been almost responsive to her requests, and it is inevitable that she has developed an arrogant temper.

In this way, Xue Lin'er is actually quite pitiful.

Those who are willing will be tired, but those who are unintentional will be fine. Gu Qingyou even hoped that Xue Aokun and his wife would lend money for their daughter's happiness this time.

Even if he used this to coerce her into reconciling with Song Chengye, there would be no loss for him, and it could even be said to be the best of both worlds.

Xue Lan thought about it for a while, and if this was the case, Song Chengye could no longer find a reason to refuse, and said, "Let's see how the Xue family responds. If they really have the heart, the 800 million taels of silver is not a big problem."

Gu Qingyou stretched her waist with a hum, and lay pitifully on her mother's lap: "I'm starving to death, but I don't know what to eat."

After being busy all day, I just wanted to eat something strong, but unfortunately the cooks in the mansion were all bland, so Gu Qingyou was not interested.

Xue Lan read enough from the account book today, and just ate a few more snacks, and she didn't feel hungry at all, but she felt sorry for her daughter, so she said, "It's okay, if you don't want to eat at home, you can go out to eat. Today, my mother treats guests, and I will take you to dinner." Restaurant, let's eat spicy hot pot!"

"Really?"

Gu Qingyou regained his energy immediately, but then he thought about it, the family rules were just reorganized today, and no one else could open a small stove, but he went to eat delicious food and spicy food, which seemed a bit unethical.

Xue Lan got up and changed her clothes directly: "Mom took you, who dares to have any objections? What's the matter, my wife treated my daughter-in-law badly before, now that I wake up, I can't make up for it?"

Seeing that Gu Qingyou was still standing there stupidly, he said, "Go get Zhang Yong to prepare the carriage, the restaurants will be closed any later."

Shuang Jiang was injured today, Gu Qingyou told her to go back to rest a long time ago, thinking about going out to eat later, and bringing back some delicious food for the little girl to make up for it.

The couple tidied up and walked to the door, but Zhang Yong didn't move at all, instead he looked embarrassed.

Gu Qingyou remembered that the carriage had already been used by Song Chengye, but it was wrong, there could not be only one carriage in the Duke's mansion, so he asked, "Why, Uncle Zhang, is there a problem with the carriage?"

Zhang Yong looked at the two of them, hesitantly said: "There is nothing wrong with the carriage, but if the two ladies go out now, if they are recognized by others, there will be a big problem."

"Ah? Why is that?" Gu Qingyou looked at Xue Lan, didn't he hear that Dajin girls can't go out at night?
Xue Lan came to his senses and patted himself on the forehead: "I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot about this rule."

Seeing the dazed look on her daughter's face, she explained: "Your father-in-law's funeral has just passed, so logically we are not allowed to attend the banquet, nor go out to eat."

Gu Qingyou's shoulders suddenly drooped, and in front of Zhang Yong, he had no choice but to say: "Then let's eat something casually at home."

Vegetables and meat in the mansion are usually freshly purchased that morning. Now that it is getting late, there are not many ingredients left in the kitchen, and the vegetable and meat merchants outside have also closed their stalls. At most, they still eat a bowl of noodle soup.

Who is Zhang Yong, but she could see her disappointment from her subtle movements, and suggested: "Although you can't go out to eat, if you bring the food home, there will be no so many rules."

Gu Qingyou was surprised: "You mean ordering takeaway??"

Zhang Yong thought for a while, isn't ordering food just to sell the food in the restaurant outside, and nodded: "Generally, restaurants of a certain size can order food for delivery, and if the lady wants to eat, I can order it for the small ones. "

Knowing that the two wanted to eat hot pot, Zhang Yong said: "It's easy to say, there are pots and bowls at home, so let's just pack some meat and vegetables, and come back without the effort of two cups of tea."

After finishing speaking, he hurried to the kitchen and asked people to prepare pots and utensils.

Xue Lan remembered Song Hengye and asked him to make a mandarin duck pot, and sure enough, everything was packed within half an hour.

Gu Qingyou looked at the table full of ingredients, but he didn't expect that there are quite a lot of ingredients for hot pot here, such as bright red sliced ​​beef and mutton, live fish and shrimp, and various seasonal vegetables.

Although these are common in modern times, you must know that they are not only in ancient times, but also when winter does not start spring, they are a bit unusual.

Zhang Yong explained: "This hot pot restaurant has always been famous for its complete range of ingredients. The owner has specially built a greenhouse to breed various fish and shrimps. In winter, other restaurants can only use frozen fish and shrimps shipped from the south, but his house kills them fresh. The live fish attracts many dignitaries, even the ladies in the palace often come to order meals, especially Concubine Meng, who has to send someone to come almost every three to five days."

I just listened to the gossip I heard when I went to order food just now, saying that Concubine Meng Guifei has not sent anyone here for more than half a month, and I don't know if she is tired of their taste.

Gu Qingyou's curiosity arose again: "The imperial chef in the palace should have better craftsmanship, right? Why do you still come out to order food?"

"No matter how good the chef's skills are, there are only a few dishes that each person is good at. After a long time, it is inevitable to change the taste. What's more, the owner of this hot pot restaurant is from Sichuan and Chongqing. The secret sauce is delicious and rich. , is unique and cannot be imitated by others.”

Gu Qingyou was extremely admirable: "It's also because the business of this family is booming, and there are not many people in Dajin who can spend their money to build a greenhouse for fish and shrimp, right?"

But the fish and shrimp are easy to say, at most it costs a little money to cover the greenhouse, so how did the green vegetables come from?Could it be that there is already a vegetable greenhouse here?

Then he shook his head again, vegetable greenhouses must use plastic film, which is absolutely impossible here.

Zhang Yong didn't know the reason, he shook his head and said, "This villain has no way of knowing, so I'll find out another day."

Xue Lan said: "Forget it, if you can find out so easily, how can you do business?"

"That's true."

Gu Qingyou picked up a small green rapeseed and threw it into the pot. She secretly thought that pollution-free vegetables would be the best. When spring came, she would have someone set up a vegetable patch in the yard, and she could grow whatever she wanted to eat. That's what makes it interesting.
