Chapter 257: Who to be a matchmaker for?

The county magistrate’s wife is here, so naturally she can’t just feed her a big pot of food.

Although the county magistrate has lived a hard life in the countryside, she not only does not feel neglected by the big pot dishes, but also has the feeling of recalling the hardships and thinking about the sweetness.

It’s not that Tong Huaqiong is watching people order dishes, but that Han is also a guest of Tong Huaqiong’s family.

Since you are a guest, your hospitality should not be so shabby.

So Tong Huaqiong personally stewed pork ribs, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, large elbows with rock sugar, and stir-fried pork intestines. Mrs. Zhao helped fry a few vegetarian dishes and prepared a table of noodles to entertain Mr. Han.

He also asked Gu Jingzhe to open a jar of good wine.

Tong Huaqiong asked Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Qin and Mr. Hong, who had been busy for a long time, to accompany her.

Originally, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qin were reluctant to sit down at the table, but they sat down under Tong Huaqiong's strong persuasion.

A table of middle-aged and elderly women eating a sumptuous meal alone is considered the first of its kind in Qinghe Bay.

"This pork tastes so delicious." Han ate a piece of braised pork and nodded frequently.

Since their son passed the exam, the life of the Liu family has become easier. In addition, Magistrate Liu is extremely filial, and he will bring everything delicious and delicious to the Han family.

Eat a lot of delicious food. Although Han's taste has not been developed, he can distinguish the quality of food to some extent.

For example, in the past year, only one pound of pork for making dumplings could be cut during the Chinese New Year. At some point, Han always felt that pork was a bit irritating.

At first she thought it was because she had entered the city. The pork in the city was not good, so she thought pork was sexy.

But her son brought her freshly slaughtered pork from the countryside, and she still felt a bit of irritation in her mouth after eating it.

Therefore, she has not eaten much pork these years.

Even when making dumplings during the Chinese New Year, they are mainly filled with beef, mutton, leek and egg fillings.

When cooking at home, rapeseed oil is the main ingredient.

When she was eating lard residue in the kitchen just now, she discovered that Tong Huaqiong's lard residue was more fragrant than before. She thought it was because she had not eaten pork lard for a long time.

Mr. Han picked up another piece of pork ribs, which was as delicious as the braised pork without being irritating at all.

After hearing what Han said, Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qin took up the conversation.

The two of them were able to sit and have dinner with the county magistrate's wife. They felt that they had gained face and could show off in the village later.

Zhao took a piece of braised pork and said, "I discovered when I was eating lard residue. The pigs from my in-laws are different from the ones I usually eat. They are more fragrant."

Qin The aunt swallowed the pig intestines from her chopsticks and continued: "It seems that the pigs fed with corn are different. Even the sewage has no fishy smell."

Tong Huaqiong smiled.

This pig is not only castrated, but also has a natural and pollution-free growing environment. It eats the most natural grass and corn. How can the meat not be fresh and tender?

Coupled with her careful cooking, the delicious taste is even better.

No wonder even Han, who has no shortage of delicacies, is full of praise.

Tong Huaqiong tore off a piece of rock sugar elbow. The tender and juicy elbow exuded a fragrance between her lips and teeth that reached Tianling Gai.

Tong Huaqiong ate so much braised pork and braised pork ribs in her previous life, and she is still drooling over her own pork today.

Too fragrant, too fresh, too tender!

It’s delicious even if it’s boiled in plain water!

If she were to live in her previous life, this would have been pure green, pollution-free soil pork, and it would be frighteningly expensive when placed in an organic supermarket.

This pig makes Tong Huaqiong very confident about the batch of pigs that will be slaughtered at the end of the year.

Just wait, she will be the one providing pork in all the major butcher shops and restaurants in Pingchuan County.

Our business territory is about to expand again.

Because a table of braised pork ribs, braised pork and rock sugar elbows was so tempting, Tong Huaqiong and others chatted for a while and started to eat.

Even Hong, who has a relatively weak appetite, finished more than half a bowl of braised pork and two large steamed buns.

After everyone finished eating, Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qin rushed to clear away the dishes and chopsticks, preventing Tong Huaqiong from doing anything.

Hong followed along to help.

Tong Huaqiong was not polite and sat in the room talking to Mr. Han.

Ms. Han asked about the business of the shop, the crops in the fields, and the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard. The topic changed and he suddenly asked: "When I first came here, I saw people squatting in the yard washing pig intestines. I heard that he is the son of your dragon and phoenix. Who is older, him or Taohua?"

During the meal, Gu Jingzhe was busy serving dishes and rice, without the restraint of a scholar at all. At this time, Gu Jingzhe was squatting in the yard washing dishes.

Han's impression of Gu Jingzhe became better and better.

Tong Huaqiong nodded and said with a smile: "He was born a cup of tea early, so he is the elder brother."

Han said with a smile: "Brothers with twins are rare."

Tong Huaqiong is quite surprised, can this be fake?

Then she thought that Han's sigh was not unusual.

In her previous life, she had heard of some families that favored sons over daughters. When twins were born, whether the boy was born earlier or later, the girl was regarded as the older sister, in order to allow the girl to take better care of the boy.

Such a situation would have occurred in previous lives when men and women were relatively equal, not to mention that in ancient times when sons were highly valued over women, it is estimated that such a situation was even more common.

Just because it is common, it is rare for Tong Dajiao to sort the twins according to time.

Tong Huaqiong calmly accepted the approval from Han's eyes.

However, why did Mr. Han bring up Gu Jingzhe so well?

Tong Huaqiong glanced at Lu Zhaozhao sitting next to Han, and found that Lu Zhaozhao's expression was a bit unnatural.

Tong Huaqiong had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Han said: "Your youngest son is different from other scholars. He can do housework, and I heard he can also do farm work."

This youngest son Tong Dajiao is indeed good, no The aloofness of a scholar who is willing to put down his body and work.

She is as sensible as her son back then.

Tong Huaqiong said: "The children of the poor have long been in charge. Besides, he will become an official after studying. He doesn't even understand the lives of ordinary people, so I often teach him not to think that studying is different from others. The more you study, the more down-to-earth you have to be in order to take the right path in the future."

After hearing this, Mr. Han nodded frequently and began to regard Tong Huaqiong as his confidant.

Tong Huaqiong is exactly the same as she was when she educated her son.

That’s why her son is now praised by everyone as a good parent officer because he has a good foundation.

Gu Jingzhe will never be any different from now on.

As soon as the conversation changed, Han asked: "Your little son is so handsome and so sensible, can you say we're going to kiss him?"

Tong Huaqiong's heart rang with alarm bells.

Could it be that Mr. Han came to the house not only to see Liu Yanhong, but also to act as a matchmaker?

Who are you going to be a matchmaker for?

Obviously, it must be his cheap young son and Lu Zhaozhao.

In view of Gu Jingzhe's Chen Shimei style in her previous life, Tong Huaqiong does not want Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao to be together in this life. She feels that Gu Jingzhe is not worthy.

If the fate between the two of them is really unstoppable in this life, Tong Huaqiong will not stop him. With her holding him down, Gu Jingzhe will not dare to betray Lu Zhaozhao.

That’s right, it’s too young to kiss at this age.

Not to mention that Gu Jingzhe had not even caught a scholar yet, Lu Zhaozhao would be pregnant and give birth after getting married at this age, which would be very destructive to the body.

So even if Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao were destined to be together for eight lifetimes, Tong Huaqiong would not let them get engaged now.

Tong Huaqiong thought for a while and said to Han, "We haven't said goodbye yet."

Lu Zhaozhao's eyes lit up and was caught by the keen Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong continued: "I don't plan to marry him so early. He is just a boy studying now. He has no merit and no fame. He has no need to delay other girls."

Lu Zhao Zhao's hands were clenched in his sleeves, and the palms of his hands shrank and hurt from pinching his nails.

The eyes were covered with sadness.

"Zhaozhao, go and see where your nephew is? Don't let him be naughty!"

Han and Tong Huaqiong talked for a long time before they realized that they had forgotten to kick Lu Zhaozhao out.

So he quickly found an excuse to kick Lu Zhaozhao out.

After all, no one would talk matchmaking in front of the girl.
