Su Jidong also echoed: "Yes, no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, so you can eat before leaving."
Jiao Yuying also said: "Eat before leaving, no one will go home hungry."
Finally, after the enthusiasm of Su Jidong and his wife, Zeng Qing agreed to stay for dinner.
There are quite a few children outside the gate of the courtyard, each of them poking their heads to look inside.
Su Li took out two packs of pastries and stuffed them into the hands of He Qingyao and He Qingmu: "There are many children outside the door, you take the pastries and give them a point."
Zeng Qing's butler brought a lot of pastries, and they couldn't finish them, so why not do a favor and find playmates for the two little guys.
"Okay." The two little guys nodded happily.
They took the pastries and ran to the door, took out the pastries and began to divide them.
"Here you are." He Qingyao and He Qingmu handed over the pastry very generously.
Those children didn't expect that He Qingyao and the others would give them cakes to eat. They couldn't help swallowing when they saw the cakes in their hands. They didn't dare to take them directly because they were unfamiliar, and asked uncertainly.
"Is this for us?"
He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded vigorously and said: "Yes."
Those children dared to eat the pastries in their hands. Because they had something to eat, the friends in the village became more courageous, and began to enter the yard to play with He Qingyao and the others.
Su Li nodded in satisfaction. These two children are much more courageous than before, at least they are not afraid of touching people anymore.
Su Li walked into the kitchen, she was about to start preparing meals for a while.
Today she plans to cook a few spicy dishes, spicy chicken, boiled pork, Maoxuewang, these dishes must be completed with chili peppers, I believe that as long as they eat these dishes, they will definitely be captured.
Su Jidong brought in the slaughtered chicken, and he thoughtfully chopped the chicken into small pieces, while Jiao Yuying helped Su Li prepare the dishes to be fried and the side dishes to be used later.
Su Li called Su Ze to the kitchen, and said, "Pack up all the peppers in our house and weigh how many catties are left."
She brought these peppers from Hejia Village. She ate some recently, and there should be about five catties left. Although her space is fine, she dare not take it out rashly.
Su Ze was a little puzzled and said, "Sister, what are you going to do?"
Even if it’s so good, it’s called chili pepper. Is his sister trying to make trouble?
Su Li stretched out her hand and tapped his forehead and said, "Don't ask so many questions, kid, just do what I tell you."
Su Ze pursed his lips a little unwillingly and said, "I'm not young anymore!"
Although he was a little unhappy, he still followed Su Li's instructions.
Soon the smell in the kitchen attracted Zeng Qing, he smelled the smell and walked over.
Su Ze blocked him from the door: "The smell of oily smoke in the kitchen is relatively strong, you should sit in the main room!"
His sister told him just now, let him guard the door of the kitchen, never let Zeng Qing and the others enter.
Zeng Qing stood on tiptoe and took a look inside: "What delicious food did Madam Su cook? Why is it so delicious? I'm already hungry after smelling it."
Su Ze smiled and said: "I don't know too well, but I will know in a while."
Zeng Qing looked again on tiptoe, but saw nothing except the tangy smell and the sound of cooking.
Zeng Qing looked at the door for a while, and then reluctantly returned to the main room.
Su Li twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard the conversation outside. She wanted to whet his appetite first, and he would not know how delicious these dishes were until a while later.
The old butler and guards sitting in the main room were so hungry that they could only drink water and swallow their saliva.
The old housekeeper said to Zeng Qing: "Master, that Mrs. Su seems to have two brushes."
If Su Li hadn't saved him and taken away his most important things, they wouldn't have come to her to kill her.
Soon the food was on the table. There were five people in Zeng Qing and the others, and there were six people in Su Li's family, so they didn't divide into two tables to eat, but directly made one table.
Zeng Qing's guards and housekeepers dare not go to the table, after all there is a difference between master and servant, so they can sit at the same table and eat directly.
Zeng Qing didn't care, and said, "Washing your hands and eating, you don't pay so much attention outside."
The housekeeper and guards dared to sit down.
Su Li curled her lips, there are many rules in big families.
Zeng Qing looked at the delicious dishes on the table and asked, "What kind of dishes are these? Why haven't I seen them before!"
Su Li smiled and introduced him one by one.
Hearing these names, Zeng Qing only found them novel, and this was the first time he had heard such a name of a dish in his decades of life.
"I'll try it first!" Zeng Qing moved his chopsticks and picked up a piece of spicy chicken.
A crispy and spicy feeling passed to his taste buds, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Su Li asked with a smile: "How is it, is it still to your liking?"
Zeng Qing nodded hurriedly: "It's so delicious, it's the first time I've tasted this kind of taste."
The butler and the guards kept eating, and their lips turned red by the end of the meal.
The old housekeeper couldn't help but said: "It's delicious, but the mouth and tongue can't bear it after eating."
Su Li smiled. Except for two light dishes for her children today, she thought that the other dishes were mainly spicy dishes. If it wasn't for people who often eat chili, they would be a little bit unbearable.
But it doesn't matter, as long as her goal is achieved, anyway, it's not them who can't stand it.
Su Li confessed to Su Ze who was eating hard: "Ah Ze, the herbal tea in the kitchen should be ready, go and serve it for them to taste!"
"Okay." Su Ze put down his chopsticks and walked towards the kitchen.
Zeng Qing stretched his neck and looked outside, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Soon Su Ze came back with herbal tea, and he served them a bowl each.
Su Li explained at the side: "This is a herbal tea that I specially brewed. Drinking this herbal tea after eating chili will not cause you to get angry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Qing picked up the bowl and drank directly.
"It's delicious!" Zeng Qing said.
The spicy feeling in the mouth disappeared, and the throat was not as uncomfortable as before.
After the meal, Zeng Qing and his party were ready to leave.
Before leaving, he made a request to Su Li: "Miss Su, can you sell me some of your peppers?"
Su Li twitched the corners of her lips when she heard his words, and finally came, she was waiting for Zeng Qing to speak.
"Okay, I happen to grow a lot of peppers at home, you can buy some and go back and try it, if you think it's really delicious, you can come and buy it again."
"good."
Su Li took out the peppers that had been wrapped in advance: "Seventy Wen a catty, here is a total of five catties and a tael, just give me three hundred and fifty Wen."
Su Ze on the side was stunned. It turned out that his sister was really clever, and she had already figured out that someone wanted to buy chili.
Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying opened their mouths in surprise. Can this chili be bought for seventy yuan a catty?
So a little bit can buy three hundred and fifty coins?
Mother! This is simply more surprising than pie in the sky.
