I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Banquet

Qin Chi took Lu Yanji and Lu Baizhou home directly.

Passing by a pastry shop, the two of them wanted to buy some pastries, saying that they couldn’t go to a guest house with empty hands.

Qin Chi couldn’t defeat them.

The three of them returned to Cuihua Hutong and had not yet arrived at the Yamen.

Song Jin helps wash vegetables in the kitchen.

Chef Feng and Mrs. Pan are both busy.

There are a lot of dishes prepared today, some with strong flavors and some with light flavors, including stews and stir-fries. After all, there are many guests from all over the world, and it is difficult to adjust to all the different tastes.

“Madam, the young master is back.”

Qin Ba came in first to remind him.

Song Jin came out of the kitchen, “Are you bringing guests?”

“Two people are here.”

Qin Ba came over first to report to Song Jin.

Song Jin said: “Let Uncle Li help you make a pot of tea, and I won’t show up.”

When a husband entertains male guests, the wife needs to avoid suspicion.

In the past, Qin Chi rarely entertained guests at home, so this time it was probably because it was inconvenient to entertain guests outside.

Qin Ba responded and went to inform Old Uncle Li.

Song Jin asked the cook and others to move faster. The guests were probably almost here. The tempting aroma of food filled the kitchen, and the front yard became lively.

Movements could be heard in the kitchen.

It should be officials from the Hanlin Academy.

“Madam, aren’t you curious and come over to take a look?”

The cook standing at the stove joked.

Song Jin’s smile continued, “I have long passed the age of curiosity, and I will not do anything that would embarrass my husband.”

“Madam is so virtuous. It is a blessing for the master to marry you.”

Chef Feng said flatteringly.

Song Jin smiled and said nothing.

What people say may not necessarily be their true thoughts.

But so what?

Song Jin looked at the dishes prepared for lunch, and it could be said that he had spent a lot of money on them. There are more than ten major dishes such as shrimps with pepper vinegar, roast goose, braised pig’s trotters, fried eel and white-cut chicken, which can be paired with a few vegetables and staple foods.

Drinks are also ready.

The banquet is held in the hall.

Just wait for the guests to arrive before the table can be served.

Lao Li Tou and Qin Ba came over and said, “Madam, the food is ready to be served.”

“Okay, you all can take it.”

Song Jin pointed to the large table in the kitchen that was full of dishes. Except for a few cold dishes, most of them were still steaming.

Old Li Tou and Qin Ba started serving the dishes.

Mrs. Pan and Chef Feng also went to serve the food, but Song Jin stayed in the kitchen to watch over it to prevent a wild cat from stealing food.

All the dishes waiting for the guests are served.

The others were finally at ease.

Chef Feng and Mrs. Pan started cleaning the kitchen again.

Song Jin’s stomach was also full of hunger, “Don’t be busy now. You are already hungry. Eat before you get busy.”

There are dishes left in the kitchen.

I deliberately overcooked some of the dishes and left them behind.

When Chef Feng and Mrs. Pan saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, they didn’t dare to move their chopsticks.

“These, ma’am, can we eat these?”

Mrs. Pan couldn’t believe it.

Chef Feng was also a little uneasy, “Why don’t you put it in the pot to warm until the master and his wife have dinner?”

“No, just leave it for us to eat.”

Song Jin served himself a bowl of rice, picked up a piece of roast goose and ate it, and urged them to eat as well.

Today was a special situation and she didn’t plan to eat alone.

Join everyone directly in the kitchen.

Qin Qi and Qin Ba also came over, each serving rice and vegetables.

Qin Ba first served the rice, then a bowl of vegetables and put it in the pot to warm, “Uncle Li is waiting in the hall, I will leave some food for him.”

Qin Qi also filled up a large bowl of rice and some delicious dishes, saying it was for Old Man Hong.

Song Jin had no objection to this, “When you’ve finished it, eat it quickly.”

“Don’t worry, madam, we won’t be hungry, hehe.” Qin Ba took a clean bowl, filled himself with rice, picked up a piece of braised pig’s trotters, and bit into it, his face full of satisfaction, “It’s so fragrant. After smelling the fragrance all morning, I’m almost starved for it.”

Song Jin couldn’t help but smile.

Qin Qi, who came back quickly, kicked Qin Ba when Song Jin couldn’t see him, “Get out of the way, block me.”

“It’s Xiaoqi, come and eat it, it’s delicious.”

Qin Ba clicked his tongue and praised, “Ms. Feng’s cooking is so good. It is indeed a craft passed down from the royal chef’s ancestors.”

Chef Feng was embarrassed to be praised.

Speaking of this is another sad story.

But Chef Feng rarely mentioned it to others.

It was precisely because of this skill that her family lured wolves into the house and ended up being betrayed by her husband.

Mrs. Pan wiped her tears while eating.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

In most of her life, she had never eaten such good food. However, she was afraid that she would suffer from diarrhoea, so she ate in the corner away from them.

However, Qin Qi still noticed it.

I didn’t say anything when I saw him, I could only say that I was speechless.

Song Jin was never stingy when it came to food.

When Chef Feng and Mrs. Pan came to Qin’s house, Song Jin never treated them badly. Compared with when they first bought them, they had obviously gained weight and looked several years younger.

Eating in the kitchen is not as good as socializing in the hall.

Eating while socializing is the slowest.

Everyone at Song Jin’s side was full, but the hall was bustling.

Before leaving the kitchen, Song Jin ordered Chef Feng: “Cook a pot of hangover soup and serve it to the table after all the adults have finished eating.”

“Okay, ma’am.”

Chef Feng responded and immediately went to prepare.

Song Jin walked out of the kitchen, avoided the hall and went back to the backyard.

From Qin Ba’s mouth, I learned that the colleagues who came this time were not all members of the Hanlin Academy.

Some people declined on the pretext that they had something to do.

As to whether it is true or false, that is unknown.

As soon as he returned to the room and washed his face, Qin Qi hurried over and said, “Madam, Miss Xiaoxi is here to see you.”

“How did she come?” Song Jin was surprised.

Qin Qi said: “It doesn’t look like a visit, more like a visit.”

“Coming to visit?” Song Jin didn’t respond.

Qin Qi reminded: “Madam, I forgot, Liu Jianfang and Liu Ji live in Cuihua Hutong, and Xiao Xi is her dowry maid. Her home is not far from ours, only three families apart.”

Such a close distance.

To exaggerate, it’s just a few steps away.

Are you just here to visit?

Song Jin thought of Qin Chi entertaining guests in the hall, so she said to Qin Qi: “Invite her to the backyard.”

Qin Qiying left in a hurry afterwards.

Not long after, Xiao Xi was brought in.

Xiao Xi looked steady, and it was not difficult to see her secretly looking left and right as she walked over.

Song Jin’s clothes are very simple.

Xiao Xi’s face lit up with joy when she saw her, “It’s a good chance to meet Mrs. Qin. I have free time today, so I wanted to come to your house for a visit, but I didn’t expect that your family is having a treat.”

“Neighbors, what are you talking about? Miss Xiao Xi can come whenever she wants.”

Song Jin pulled Xiao Xi into a teahouse.

Qin Qi had already made a pot of tea and served a plate of pastries, which Lu Yanji and the others bought.

Xiao Xi ate a piece of pastry and reminded her kindly: “You are the wife of an official now, why don’t you change into nice clothes? If others see you, they won’t take it lightly.”

“Hey, how can this be used at home? What a waste of money.” Song Jin smiled softly, her smile was pure and simple.

Seeing that she had become an official’s wife, she did not raise her eyebrows, which made Xiao Xi feel much more relaxed.

Xiao Xi glanced at the door again and asked in a low voice: “I heard that your husband-in-law was promoted on the first day he took office?”

Coming!

Here comes the inquirer.

Song Jin was not happy when he heard this, but said worriedly: “I would rather he not be promoted to this official position. My husband-in-law said that he got it in exchange for several dangers. I don’t know what that means.”

Xiao Xi rolled her eyes.

Could it be something about the Yuan family?
