Chapter 286 It’s so Delicious

Qin Jingshu frowned: "My words are useless to you. I can't afford a maid like you."

When the maid heard this, she could only bow her head and agree, no matter how reluctant she was.

After sending the people away, Qin Jingshu finally showed a relieved look on her face. She turned around and went back into the rockery, and said to Niuniu happily: "I sent the people away! Let's continue playing here!"

Qin Jingshu felt that she had fallen in love with the rockery. The space inside the rockery was very small, and no one was watching her every word and action. She felt like she was alive again.

Niuniu saw that her friends were happy, and her face also showed joy. She asked: "What do you want to play? Let's play Gobang? Flipping rope? Clapping? Catch stones?"

Qin Jingshu was confused when she heard this: "Are these all games? I haven't heard of them."

Niuniu nodded and asked: "Is there no one to play these with you?"

Qin Jingshu's face suddenly showed embarrassment. She felt that compared with Niuniu, she seemed like a bumpkin.

Niuniu patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you. I'm good at teaching. You're so smart, I guarantee you'll learn it right away!"

A six-year-old girl, no matter how precocious she is, who doesn't like to play? Qin Jingshu looked at Niuniu with sparkling eyes when she heard this.

When Shen Ling came over for the second time, she saw two little girls hiding in the rockery playing the game of catching stones, having a lot of fun.

"Well, I'm scratching my head outside thinking about how to write a poem, but you guys are having fun inside." Shen Ling said with a smile.

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she wanted to apologize at the first time.

But Niuniu still looked calm and asked, "Sister Ling, is the meal ready?"

Shen Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I'll pick you up for dinner."

Niuniu was about to run out when she heard this, but was stopped by Shen Ling.

"Your hair is messy." Shen Ling complained while reaching out to smooth Niuniu's hair.

She pulled Qin Jingshu over and helped to tidy up.

"You can go out now."

Shen Ling finished speaking and asked, "Jingshu, where did the girl you took go? I didn't see her outside just now."

Qin Jingshu said, "I sent her out to buy something. She will be back soon."

It was just a girl. Shen Ling asked and then ignored her. He led the two girls to the table.

When they arrived at the table, Shen Ling arranged for the two to sit next to him. He asked belatedly, "Can you two pick up food by yourselves?"

Niuniu looked up and said, "Sister Ling, you look down on me. I can even wash clothes, so how can I not pick up food?"

Shen Ling smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget that my brother was taught to wash clothes by Niuniu. Niuniu is really amazing."

Shen Ling looked at Qin Jingshu.

Qin Jingshu also nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Shen, I will."

When the dishes were served, Shen Ling saw Miss Zhao sitting opposite her. She didn't eat a single bite of the food, but was busy picking food for her naughty sister. But the naughty sister wanted this and that, which made Miss Zhao's forehead blue.

"If you do this again, I won't take you out next time there is a poetry meeting!" Miss Zhao threatened her sister in a low voice.

But the little brat ignored her threats and continued to point east and west with confidence.

When Shen Ling lowered her head, she saw that the two little ones beside her were eating obediently, and she couldn't help thinking that she was better at taking care of children.

"This meat is especially delicious, it melts in your mouth, and it is made by a specially invited master chef!" Niuniu pointed to the braised pork on the table and said to Qin Jingshu.

As if to take special care of the girls at this table, the braised pork was cut into smaller pieces than usual, but even so, few of the ladies wanted to touch this dish.

After all, there were so many eyes watching. Even if the ladies said what they liked to eat, they would say it was expensive and light. No one would talk about braised pork all day long.

At this time, Qin Jingshu hesitated whether to reach out for her chopsticks.

Niuniu, however, did not have so many concerns. She not only picked up some for herself, but also used the public chopsticks to pick up a piece for Shen Ling and Qin Jingshu: "You must try it, it's really delicious!"

Shen Ling had actually tasted it, but she was too proud to do it, so she acted reluctantly and said, "I don't like to eat oily things, but since you insist on me, I have to eat it."

The other ladies at the table retracted their gazes after hearing this.

Shen Ling not only ate the braised pork, but she also got closer to Niuniu and whispered, "My dear, I want to pour the soup over the rice. The soup of braised pork mixed with rice is the best!"

Niuniu showed an expression of "I can't do anything with you" on her face, but she still helped her scoop a large spoonful of meat and soup helplessly.

Shen Ling still had that disgusted expression on her face, and said, "My dear, I have my own hands, why do I need you to pick up food for me? Are you so worried that I won't be full?"

Niuniu curled her lips helplessly, and scooped a spoonful of soup for Qin Jingshu and herself.

Qin Jingshu had never tried this way of eating before. Now the rice was dyed into an attractive color by the braised pork soup, which made her appetite whet. She took a bite...

It's delicious!

Qin Jingshu felt like she had eaten happiness!

The delicious and wonderful taste made her extremely satisfied.

Niuniu said proudly, "It's delicious, right? I eat this way every time I come here. The master chef who makes braised pork only makes this dish. She was originally a peasant woman in the suburbs of Beijing. Uncle Luo heard about her ability to cook meat and begged her to come to the restaurant to be the chef."

Qin Jingshu also has a chef at home, but when it comes to this dish alone, she has to admit that no one can compare to this peasant woman.

The other noble ladies originally just looked at Shen Ling who was eating meat for a few more times, but as Niu Niu started to eat, the noble ladies couldn't help but keep their eyes on Niu Niu.

Niu Niu's eating power is too contagious.

"Ah~"

A full spoonful of soup and rice was stuffed into the little girl's mouth, full.

The little girl's cheeks were chubby, and her eyes narrowed after eating. The feeling of happiness and satisfaction could not be deceived.

The more the other noble ladies at the table looked, the more saliva they swallowed quietly. They couldn't help but wonder, is that plate of greasy braised pork really delicious?

Although it is one of the signature dishes of Xianyue Tower, it is pork after all.

Ordinary people may not eat pork once a month, but in the eyes of dignitaries, it is low-grade meat and far less decent than mutton.

Niu Niu took another mouthful of soup and rice.

The other ladies at the table seemed to have smelled the delicious aroma of Niuniu's rice.

"How about trying a piece?" they thought to themselves.

I don't know who stretched out the first pair of chopsticks, but once they started, they couldn't stop.

A low cough came from behind the ladies.

It was the servants they brought with them, reminding them not to eat too much of this greasy dish.

But because everyone around them was breaking the rules, everyone pretended not to hear the voice behind them.

After tasting such a delicious dish, even Miss Zhao looked satisfied. Her unruly sister was eating the rice with soup beside her at this time, and she had no time to bother her sister.

They ate one chopstick after another, and when they couldn't help eating too much, the plate of braised pork was also cleaned up.

Although no one of the ladies spoke, when they looked at each other, they all had only one thought: "Delicious! It's really delicious. No wonder it's one of the signature dishes of Xianyue Tower!"
