Chapter 212 212. Isn’t this a coincidence?
“What did my sister-in-law cook today? It’s so delicious!”
“Just two new dishes, fish with pickled cabbage and fish head with chopped pepper. "Master Qin, try it."
The dishes are laid out in front of the square dining table, all of them are delicious and delicious.
The two dishes she ordered separately took up half of the square table due to their large portions and the use of large soup pots. The other side dishes also looked very nice, even the cold bitter chrysanthemums were bright green and fresh. Green.
Huh? There is sweet and sour pork ribs.
He saw it at a glance!
Qin Zheng gave Cheng Xi a surprised look, restrained his eyes from moving from the dining table, and tried to be as polite as possible.
"What, we are not outsiders, my sister-in-law and the Shen sisters can sit down together?"
Shen Xingqi was very surprised when she heard this, and looked to her brother for advice, and saw Shen Xingluo He nodded and added two pairs of chopsticks.
As for Cheng Xi?
When she came out of the kitchen, there was a black wine jar in her arms. She opened the red cloth used to seal it, and the aroma of wine suddenly wafted out.
This is the first batch of cherry wine brewed in the space.
Based on how long it has been stored inside, it is already quite long. It is enough for the wine to have a mellow taste. This is also Cheng Xi’s first time trying it.
The porcelain white wine glass was quickly filled with dark red liquid. It looked refreshing and translucent because it had been filtered in advance and there was no impurity at all.
"What is this?"
Qin Zheng thinks he is well-informed, because his family is rich and has seen most of the good things in the world, but this is the first time he encountered this kind of drink.
"A kind of fruit wine, Mr. Qin might as well take a guess."
"It smells fragrant and has a faint smell of wine, which is somewhat similar to the wine from Xifan tribute."
But he knew that this was not wine.
Not only the color, but the transparency is also different.
Qin Zheng's attention was completely attracted by the small porcelain cup in front of him. He picked it up with his right hand and took a sip. His eyes suddenly showed a bit of surprise.
“How does it taste?”
“Sweet, mellow wine aroma, strong cherry flavor, this is actually made of cherries?!”
Cherry in It is rare in the Yan Dynasty because it is rare and the price is ridiculously expensive, and no one makes it into wine.
Qin Zheng only felt that the drink in his hand opened up a new world for him.
"Xing Luo, where did you find this treasure?"
"Madam made it."
Shen Xing Luo's tone was calm and he didn't react much.
A total of two batches of fruit wine were made in the space. The second batch was made with clear spring water not long ago. When Cheng Xi poured the wine, he knew it was the first batch when he smelled the aroma of the wine.
"Make it yourself? Since when did Lin'an Prefecture have cherries? How come I haven't seen them before?"
"I met a few trees in Shennong Mountain."
"." I originally wanted to lick them Qin Zheng, who was asking for some wine, immediately turned off his microphone.
Although I really want to drink it and I am thick-skinned enough, it is obvious that this thing is not something you can drink if you want to.
“Brother Shen is very lucky, and my sister-in-law is good at craftsmanship. I didn’t expect that she can even brew this kind of fruit wine.”
Qin Zheng felt regretful and didn't want to let go of the wine glass.
However, this obviously did not delay him from eating and drinking. When he saw Shen Xingluo picking up his chopsticks, he followed closely behind him and immediately extended his chopsticks to the pickled fish.
“Wow~”
The narrow eyes lit up again because of the delicious food, and Qin Zheng felt like his whole body was flying with joy.
“Tender and refreshing, sour and spicy, it turns out that fish can be so delicious!”
After the sweet and sour pork ribs, this ancient gentleman fell in love with swimming in the water again, and the fish head with chopped pepper made his liking for fish even higher.
Qin Zheng suddenly transformed into a glutton, and his chopsticks flew up, showing a bit of anxiety in his elegance.
It was the first time Shen Xingqi saw a guest eating like this, and she was so shocked that she almost lost her hold on the tableware. "Sister-in-law, is Mr. Qin hungry?"
I don't think the father of the Cheng family was so voracious at first? He is still an informal charlatan!
Or is there some habit in the big family of only eating half-full meals, which made Mr. Qin sick from hunger for a long time?
That’s outrageous.
"Don't worry about him, you eat more."
Cheng Xi used serving chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of fish for her. It was estimated that her sister-in-law wouldn't be able to eat it if it was a second later.
There is no rule at the Shen family table that they should eat and sleep without talking. However, Shen Xingluo doesn't talk much in daily life, Qin Zheng is busy showing off, Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi eat in silence, and for a while, only Xiao Xiao can be heard. A small clatter of dishes and chopsticks.
And, the sound of water pouring out of cherry wine.
The sides of Qin Zheng's cheeks were getting redder and redder, and he looked slightly tipsy.
Cheng Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks and whispered to Shen Xingluo, "He seems to be drunk."
Why are the descendants of the Qin family so drunk?
It shouldn’t be!
'Business negotiations in our place are mostly completed at the wine table. Mr. Qin is so stupid and can't drink. I'm afraid the third room in the Qin family will be a pill in the future. ’
‘Madam’s business negotiations were also completed at the wine table? ’
‘How come? I am a strong person. ’
Cheng Xi gave him a "Don't slander me" look. Seeing that the meal had come to an end, she signaled him to greet the guests, and pulled Shen Xingqi to start removing the dishes.
The fruit wine was replaced by tea, and Qin Zheng's red face faded a little.
"Thank you sister-in-law for the treat. Every dish is delicious!"
"I heard from my cousin that there were bandits in Shenjia Village. I originally planned to visit a few days ago, but how many people in the Qin family have there? A merchant ship carrying grain docked, which delayed it for some time. Xing Luo and his sister-in-law were also invited to Don't be offended."
"Brother Qin, business is important, but don't you always ignore the Qin family's affairs?"
"Ah - it's a long story."< br>
Qin Zheng sighed and pulled Shen Xingluo to vomit his bitterness.
It was already evening by the time Qin left, and Cheng Xi sent out two small jars of fruit wine when the Saobao carriage left the Shen family courtyard.
Qin Zheng was so happy that he held her in his arms the whole time and was reluctant to let go.
“What did you talk about?”
Cheng Xi intuitively felt that Qin Zheng’s trip out of the city was not just for a visit.
Although he warmly and affectionately cared about whether the others were okay as soon as he entered the house, whether they were injured when he encountered bandits, etc., there was still a bit of solemnity on his face that could not be concealed.
To put it bluntly, this person is not someone who can hide things at all.
"Madam, you have good eyesight."
Shen Xingluo pulled her into the study, "Do you still remember the arson incident in the Qin Mansion?"
"Remember, why, there are clues. "
"The Qin family didn't find anything at first. Those people found an opportunity to commit suicide. Qin Zheng asked the fifth prince to investigate the case a few days ago, which involved a lot of things."
Cheng Xi was silent for a moment when he heard this, then looked up at him, "A lot of these things include you?"
Shen Xingluo nodded.
“Wow~”
Isn’t this a coincidence?
The arson of the Qin family is related to Zhou Xuzhi. Since there is an investigation, it is inevitable to bring out the carrots and mud. How Shen Xingluo was injured in the first place is probably already on the fifth prince's desk.
Unexpectedly, the truth of this matter would be revealed before Shen Xingluo took action?
But for Cheng Xi, he is more concerned about another thing now.
