"As for the dogs and geese, they were pets kept by my grandfather and his friends."
"Pets?"
Liu Song and He were even more puzzled.
Yan Funing tapped her forehead with the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Pet is a pet name for an animal that is carefully raised next to you. Yes, a pet name."
"Give it what it likes. Liu Song responded, "Do you need our help?"
"Not at the moment. Uncle and aunt will go and do their own thing."
"Okay, call us if you need anything."
At nearly noon, more than ten cold dishes were cooled in ice basins and loaded onto the Yan family's carriage .
Add meat and bone sticks for dogs and cook a large bucket. The grains for the geese were packed in a basin, and small fish and shrimps were packed in large buckets. The food was carried onto the carriage in the restaurant.
To eat a lot, we need someone to protect us all the way to the eastern suburbs.
Yan Funing called the four waiters together and said to Liu Songhe: "Uncle and aunt, I took Xiaowen and the others away. If the restaurant is busy at noon, we will have to work hard for everyone."
Liu Song said: "The restaurant is fine. ."
He waved: "My dear, be careful on the road." He said, not forgetting to remind his son who was driving. "
"Mom, I know."
Liu Chengwen waved his riding whip, and the Yan family's car left first.
The restaurant carriage driven by Li Xinheng followed suit and drove away.
The two carriages arrived at the eastern suburbs just in time for dinner, and the sun was getting hotter.
In the pavilion, the old Mr. Guo discussed with everyone: "Let's eat whatever we want for lunch today, and find a lake in the afternoon for the geese to flutter."
Old Yuan squinted his eyes. I saw two carriages stopped on the side of the road, and a pretty little girl got out of the front one. She looked familiar.
“Old Duke, is that your granddaughter?”
The old man turned his head and looked around, laughing: "You have such good eyesight, you are really my granddaughter." I was walking the dog with the geese in the sun. Whose grandson and granddaughter came to see it?” "Grandpa."
As he spoke, he walked to the pavilion, put his hands on his hips and shouted to the roadside, "Girl, it's so hot, what are you doing here?"
" Grandfather, I’m here to bring you food.”
Yan Funing's soft voice rose in pitch.
Then he directed the people who followed him to bring the dishes.
"The old man is very lucky." The old men said one after another.
The old Duke was quite contented: "Come on, I won't go and deal with it casually today, you can just go."
The old men stood up, and someone said: "Let's take a look at the Duke's Mansion first. No matter what kind of food you bring, it won’t be too late for us to leave.”
"Yes, yes, let's take a look."
"It's hot, so I guess it's a little greasy. I probably don't like greasy things, so we can do it for you."
A group of people said , no one has the intention to leave the pavilion and go to the farmhouse to have something to eat.
The four waiters, plus Li Xinheng, Liu Chengwen and Caiyu, as well as Yan Funing herself, served the dishes and quickly put all the cold dishes in the car on the stone table in the pavilion.
Not only that, the dishes and chopsticks are also arranged.
As soon as the dishes were served, the ice basin in the car was also placed, and the pavilion immediately became much cooler.
The pavilion is quite large, and because the old people often had to play here, they invested in the renovation in the early years.
Stone tables, stone benches, and armchairs are all available, which makes it suitable for dining here.
Seeing that there were so many bowls and chopsticks, the old men couldn’t believe it. Maybe they also had a share?
Just as they looked at each other, Yan Funing shouted: "Grandpa, gentlemen, these dishes were cooked by me and the chef of the restaurant. The weather is hot. Is it to your liking?" ”
The old people all smiled and said -
"Listen, listen, the granddaughter of the old Duke is polite." "Sensible!"
"So polite. There are very few daughters from aristocratic families who are good at cooking."
The old man started to make a statement: "Girl, I dare you not to cook it specifically for my grandfather?"
"It was specially made for my grandfather."
Yan Funing personally pressed a pair of jade chopsticks into her grandfather's hands.
“I thought that all the grandpas were my grandfather’s friends. If I cooked less, my grandfather would give all the food to my friends, and what if I couldn’t eat it myself? So, I made more.”< br>
The old Duke smiled happily and said: "That's pretty much it."
Then he looked around and said, "I say, old guys, sit down and use your chopsticks."
In just a moment, all the old men were seated.
Yan Funing raised her hand and introduced: "The claws of this prawn have been cut off. After the shrimp meat is boiled and stirred with ice cubes, it will probably be a little chewy. Grandpa, you can try it. If you feel that the shrimp meat is not easy to swallow, try this shrimp slippery dish, which is made with shrimp meat.” You can swallow it, these dishes are so good.”
Then I picked up a prawn and peeled the shell.
Yan Funing quickly ordered the waiter to hand over the dipping sauce.
Mr. Yuan dipped the sauce into his mouth and ate it, his eyes lit up: "Well, although it is chewy, the shrimp meat is very tender." quick.
Yan Funing then introduced: "This is beef tenderloin with soy sauce. It is cut across the grain and has a soft texture. Grandpa, you can also try it."
Old Guo Gong He took the lead in eating and nodded repeatedly.
The old man had taken the lead in the prawns and shrimp sliders just now, and he couldn't give in now.
He simply ate all the remaining dishes, and he had to eat the dishes cooked by his own granddaughter first.
Seeing that they were eating happily, Yan Funing raised her hand and ordered someone to carry food for the geese and dogs to the car.
If a table full of dishes has surprised the old people——
At this moment, the dogs lined up in a row, gnawing at the meat and bones in unison. Even the geese are very orderly, eating grains around the basin and eating small fish and shrimp around the bucket.
Scenes like this are even more pleasant.
After more than half an hour, they finished eating.
Yan Funing ordered the guys to clean up and put all the bowls, chopsticks, plates, empty buckets and basins in the car.
The stone table was cleaned and the floor was swept.
The pavilion is still the pavilion where we just fought geese and walked dogs.
Yan Funing didn't say anything else, she just said: "Grandpa, gentlemen, I'm back."
"Okay, okay, be careful on the way back." Mr. Yuan smiled and said, "Girl Yan, you have time to come to my Yuan house to play. My grandson's wife is your sister."
Hearing this, Yan Funing understood. , then nodded and said: "Grandfather of the Yuan family, I'm leaving then."
Seeing his granddaughter leave, the old Duke frowned and thought, could there be something wrong with this girl?
At this time, an old man sneered: "Old Yuantou, you are really good at getting close."
"Mrs. Yan is Yan Yatou's sister, so I, the grandfather, don't count The girl from the Yan family is half a grandfather?" Mr. Yuan was quite proud.
Old Mrs. Yu said: "They are really relatives."
As a result, the old people envied the old man for having such a sensible granddaughter, and they kept praising her.
Only the old Duke stroked his beard over and over again.
In the evening, the old Duke returned to the Duke's Mansion.
A goose and a dog followed him. He put his hands behind his back and slowly wandered towards Nanyuan, but he didn't see Yan Funing.
He simply returned to Dongyuan. (End of this chapter)
