I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

 At this time, people pay attention to elegance and presentation. Just like the chrysanthemum banquet held by Wu'an people, even the dishes at the banquet are mostly based on chrysanthemums. The petals are used in dishes and pastries. A single dish of golden shredded chicken is shaped like a chrysanthemum.

 Whether it looks similar or is eaten directly, it is inseparable from today’s theme.

With everyone amazed, the banquet ended smoothly without any further trouble.

It wasn't until the Baiyunxi family got on the carriage home that Mrs. Du let out a long sigh. Attending a banquet was really not something ordinary people could do. For most of the day, she had to sit there and pay attention to the surrounding things at all times. She couldn't get distracted. Don't slump.

As long as there is something wrong, it is easy to get into trouble and bring shame to the family.

Hearing Du's sighing tone, Bai Yunxi and Zhang Yishan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing together. They stopped after a while.

　　In front of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Du didn’t feel ashamed either.

 “You’ve been busy cooking as soon as you got back, why don’t you take a break?”

Just as she was squinting her eyes and preparing to take a short breath, a fragrant smell of scallion oil noodles drifted from her nostrils.

Hearing Du's inner complaints, Baiyunxi curled his lips and said, "How about it? Didn't you eat well?"

After feeling comfortable for a while, Baiyunxi sighed, no wonder everyone wants to be promoted and make a fortune, there are groups of slaves, it is really a pleasure.

I originally thought that by attending a banquet of nobles in my lifetime, I would gain a lot of experience and have something to show off to when I return to the village in the future. Now she is just tired. After today, she has no interest in attending the banquet. Du Shi sighed and stroked her clothes. The ladies attending the banquet today were all dressed decently and festively, and they were smiling when they spoke. But she always felt that those people were hiding knives in their smiles and had bad intentions, which made her always trembling. .

 Since then, she has never gone to the kitchen to find something to do.

"Sister-in-law, you are right. I only drank a cup of chrysanthemum soup and a piece of chrysanthemum cake today, and I am already hungry."

Since arriving in Fucheng, the kitchen has been managed by Yishan's mother Zhang, and the cook was brought by her younger daughter-in-law. Although the food was good, she was used to Du's cooking, so she always felt that the food was not very good.

 A few days ago, she felt unhappy, and her mother-in-law pointed her to the kitchen in front of her five younger siblings. From that day on, she has been busy until now.

　　Baiyunxi was a little drowsy at first, but when she smelled the fragrance, she immediately felt her stomach was empty.

“I feel a little hungry from the smell.”

 Baiyunxi: “…”

Back in her yard, Bai Yunxi changed out of her luxurious clothes and put on her usual home clothes. She lay on the Arhat bed. Mrs. Zhu took a pair of beauty hammers and gently tapped her calves to relax her muscles.

 If nothing else, Du's cooking skills are really good, no worse than other cooks outside.

Hearing her mother-in-law's praise, Mrs. Du looked happy and said, "Mom likes to eat the food I cook. From now on, I will cook it for you alone. It will be very easy."

"Mom, I think this food is not for people to eat, but for the eyes."

 Fortunately, when she came out in the morning, she had a bowl of meat porridge and a drawer of small steamed buns. Otherwise, you will definitely be so hungry right now.

The more I thought about Du Shi, the more I shook my head.

While talking, Mrs. Du walked in with Chamomile, looked at her mother-in-law who was leaning on the Arhat bed, and asked the girl to put her face on the kang table.

As he spoke, Zhang Yishan touched her belly and agreed in agreement.

"This rich family is good. In addition to the beautiful plates and bowls, the dishes are also arranged in various ways. Just like the plate of shredded chicken, made into a golden chrysanthemum, but if you pick up a chopstick, it looks like it is damaged. No one is eating and I’m too embarrassed to reach out.”

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty-four. One hundred and forty-six. Seventy-five

“After I got home and took a shower, apart from being hungry, I wasn’t too tired.”

Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly, going to the banquet today, she was worried that someone would take the opportunity to embarrass Du Shi and Yishan, but she didn't expect that the other party would come directly to her, so it was worry-free.

 When going out to a banquet, no one goes there just to eat.

Hearing Du Shi's thoughts, Bai Yunxi curled her lips. In fact, she agreed with Du Shi. Attending a banquet was really not a worry-free job.

The Wu family's banquet was always elegant and ornamental. The portions of the food were so small and exquisite that she couldn't bear to put down her chopsticks. Instead, she drank a cup of chrysanthemum soup, which tasted pretty good and had a pleasant fragrance.

 She used to be in charge of the kitchen at home, but it was only after she came to Fucheng that she stopped doing it. The cook's skills were not bad, and she was the fifth younger sister. At first she volunteered to help, but she was politely invited out, saying that the kitchen was very oily and there was no reason to keep the owner busy.

It’s just that she’s not picky about food, so she doesn’t care about this.

“Don’t worry, mom, I’ll go back and cook for you. I still have a lot of soup stock I made last night, which is perfect for cooking scallion noodles. It’s more comfortable to eat at home.”

Baiyunxi sat up and looked at the clear soup, the thin white noodles, with a few chopped green onions and a few drops of bright oil floating on it. After taking a bite, the noodles were chewy and smooth in the mouth. It was Du's craftsmanship.

　　Du Shi smiled sarcastically.

“This soup is made from old hen and pig bone soup. It takes most of the night just to make the soup. It’s perfect for eating with meatballs.”

“Since I’m not full yet, I’ll make up for it when I get home later.”

Hearing her mother-in-law’s tone, Du agreed.

 And her face was so stiff when she smiled that it looked smooth and slippery. She had done nothing but was even more tired than farm work. It was really suffocating.

“Mom, the scallion noodles are ready, and I specially added shrimp powder brought from home. It’s very fresh.”

"This is really incomparable with our country. We have banquets in the country. Although the food is not as good and the meat is less. But it is also filled with big bowls and served to the top. It is not enough to fill people's stomachs."

 She was panting heavily today, and she was not at all as happy as when she had just received the invitation from the Wu family.

Du Shi held her stomach and smiled, "Mom, the Wu family's food is so delicious, but it's not practical."

Furthermore, the other people at the table didn’t eat much. They only talked and chatted, drank tea, and occasionally had a piece of snack to try.

Each dish is arranged in a flower-like pattern, with branches as branches, leaves as leaves, and flowers as flowers. Whenever she picks up a chopstick, it looks like a piece of embroidery has been cut off, which is embarrassing.

 She didn’t understand at first, but later she realized that Zhang’s mother didn’t want her to get involved.

Now it is much more convenient for her to do whatever she wants to do in the kitchen.

After a bowl of scallion noodles, Bai Yunxi picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands. Listening to Du Shi's thoughts, he also understood in his heart that the kitchen was the weakest part of the mansion. No matter who took over, he didn't want anyone else to get involved.

Firstly, they are afraid of discord, and secondly, the kitchen is such a big place that if something happens, the person in charge cannot afford it.
