peasant girl allure

Chapter 642
The other wives despised Mrs. Tong Judgment in their hearts, which was simply too obvious.

"There's no reason to let the guests do the work. It's good for Xiao'er to come. The other girls can enjoy the plum blossoms while waiting for the barbecue." Liu said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands, let Ping'er help." Mrs. Tong judge waved her hand.

The prefect's wife frowned. Although the folk customs have become more open now, it is easy to bump into men and women gathering together for barbecue.

The words have come to this point, and it's hard for Liu to refuse, she looked at Xiao'er and Yun'er: "Xiao'er and Yun'er must take good care of every sister!"

Xiao'er and Yun'er nodded in agreement, whoever made the only sister in the Liu family married and did not come back, the job of greeting people can only fall on them.

"Sister-in-law, that pavilion of Merlin seems quite big?"

"It's quite big. There is a pavilion called Yuanyang Pavilion in Meilin. Although it is a pavilion, it is actually more like two pavilions built side by side. Since young people like to barbecue, I asked my servants to move two long tables. Put it in the center of the pavilion, and get another barbecue pit, so the men can stand on one side of the pavilion and the women on the other side." Mrs. Tan understood Mrs. Liu's suggestion.

"That's great!" Madam Zhifu said with a smile.

"Madam Tan is still thoughtful." Madam Tongju also praised.

Seeing this, Jing Rui resigned first. He just wanted to ask his sister for some seasonings, but he didn't expect to invite a group of girls to have a barbecue. No matter what happened, he had to inform other men to avoid conflicts.

Jing Rui used to study in Juxian Academy, and several of the men who came today were his classmates, and they even exchanged letters.

They haven't seen each other for a long time, so someone proposed to have a barbecue and eat meat, while talking and drinking.

If he knew that peach blossoms would be attracted, Jing Rui would not agree.

Xiao'er and Yun'er led the girls to the Plum Garden.

At this time, people have already arranged the pavilion.Barbecue pits are arranged outside the pavilion.

Xiaoer led everyone to the pavilion and sat down.

Although it is a barbecue, how can these girls do it themselves? Naturally, the maids are busy.

"Yangliu, go to my house and bring a bottle of seasoning to the eldest son. Yangmei, go and roast some meat and vegetables for everyone to eat."

Yang Liu and Yang Mei took orders and left.

You can't let the servant girl of Lord Rui'an bake the food that so many of them want to eat by herself, and the other girls can also ask their maids to help.

Gao Ping stood up: "I'll help you adjust the seasoning."

Everyone: I can't wait!
But everyone did not stop her.

At this time, most people use salt, soy sauce, pepper, chili powder, etc. to season their barbecue, but there is no ready-made barbecue sauce.

In addition to making barbecue sauce by herself, Xiaoer BBQ also puts her prepared cumin powder and honey when grilling meat.

Cumin powder is a must-have seasoning for barbecued food!Roasting beef and sheep with cumin powder can remove fishy smell and relieve greasiness, make the meat more delicious and fragrant, and increase people's appetite.

After Gao Ping adjusted the seasoning, she divided it into two portions, and asked her maid to bring one to Jing Rui.

Jing Rui thanked her across the table, but he didn't dare to use it as a seasoning in his heart.

Liu Zhiwen wanted to use it to rinse the roasted whole lamb, but Jing Rui avoided his hand and said in a low voice, "We'd better apply it on the chicken first, and try how it tastes before applying it on the lamb."

Liu Zhiwen understood immediately, it's dangerous!Almost wasted a sheep!
Not a single chicken is wasted!

Liu Zhiwu took a few skewers of chicken to try. After grilling, he found that the taste was not bad, much better than the one he made just now, but compared with Xiaoer's seasoning, it was still far behind. Fortunately, he didn't rinse it on the sheep!

The other men also tried it and praised it.

Gao Ping's maid also grilled a few skewers of mutton skewers for the woman, and everyone praised her after trying it.

Seeing this, Gao Ping couldn't help showing a smug smile.

At this moment, Yang Liu brought over Xiao'er's seasoning, Xiao'er stood up, mixed two portions of barbecue sauce by herself, and asked her to deliver one to Jing Rui.

Liu Zhiwen couldn't wait to rinse the sheep.

Seeing this, Gao Ping curled her lips, hoping in her heart that the food baked with that seasoning would be hard to swallow and steal her limelight.

Barbecue takes time, and it will be a bit boring while waiting for the food, so Xiaoer said in order not to let everyone feel left out: "It's still a while before the lamb is cooked, why don't we play something?"

Gao Ping wanted to show off her talents in front of Jing Rui, and after hearing this, she said, "County Lord Rui'an's proposal is good, how about we hold a Shui Danqing competition?"

Shui Danqing is actually tea, which is an ancient tea art with rich expressive power. It is a unique art form that uses foam to express calligraphy and painting. It is suitable for expressing Chinese calligraphy and painting. The ancients also called it Shui Danqing.

This Xiao'er doesn't understand, Xiao'er only knows latte art milk tea or coffee.

Dividing tea is difficult to master, and it is easy to fail. Gao Ping dared to speak out about the Shui Danqing competition, which shows that she is well versed in this.

Xiao'er looked at the other girls: "Do you all want to play this game?"

Everyone has no opinion.

They may not be able to divide the tea well, but they can also use it to show other talents when they lose, which is better than sitting still.

Seeing that the girls had no objections, Xiao'er couldn't help muttering: Could it be that the girls who know how to share tea all come to Shengping County, so the girls in the imperial capital don't like to play this game.

Xiao'er asked the maid to prepare the tea-sharing tools.

Soon the tea set was brought up.

Because Xiao'er didn't know how to do it, she said, "I don't know how to divide tea, you guys play, I'll be the referee!"

Gao Jie laughed and said, "Shui Danqing is indeed difficult to master, and it's normal for County Lord Rui'an not to know it. It's better than some people pretending to understand."

Xiao'er blinked: This girl has a crush on her elder brother?She firmly disagrees!No matter how you look at it, you look like a troublemaker!
The other girls felt angry when they heard this, but they didn't lose their temper.

The girls began to grind the tea leaves into fine powder.

Xiao'er watched them carefully, she also wanted to learn this miraculous skill.

Dividing tea is a relatively high tea-making skill. Some people use "stirring" to create the image of soup flowers; some directly use "dot" to make soup noodles into soup flowers.Xiao'er saw that all the girls here used "dot".

Ordering tea is actually pouring tea, that is, using a single-handed pot to pour boiling water from top to bottom into the teacup containing tea powder. The girls control the height of the water injection, use different gestures, different spout shapes and other methods to make tea. It forms an endless variety of objects.

There was silence all around for a while, only the sound of tea being poured into cups.

……

The weather is cold these days, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the fragrance is tangy.

The man knew that they stopped talking during the tea distribution, so they all looked over.

I have to say that the young and beautiful women gather together and perform tea ceremony gracefully. This scene is simply a visual feast.
