Chapter 157 Sweet and sour
Shopkeeper Chen was too embarrassed to watch any longer after being caught, so he returned to the dining table with the bowl of soup that the girl had already filled.
"Manager Chen, you are so unkind, aren't you? You're trying to steal someone's skills on their wedding day."
"Hahaha, did you understand this new dish that Shopkeeper Chen served? It tastes really good. If I learn how to make it at Zuixianlou, I can go there to drink too. It goes really well with alcohol."
"And this dish is crispy and sweet, I wonder what kind of fish is used?"
Shopkeeper Chen picked up the spicy squid shreds with her chopsticks. It was a bit spicy, so she quickly drank another glass of wine. The spiciness was doubled over again. It was so delicious.
In the courtyard, Lin Jiaojiao and Fu's mother were entertaining the guests. Most of the guests were from Fu's mother's side, and she didn't know them so she followed Fu's mother and greeted them.
The courtyard was also separated by a screen, and men and women sat at different tables, so Su Tongpan did not have the opportunity to meet Lin Jiaojiao's adoptive father. However, she was very satisfied to see Lin Jiaojiao behaving appropriately and generously and toasting behind Fu's mother.
It would have been better if she had sat in the upper seat just now, but she was satisfied to be able to witness her wedding.
Lin Jiaojiao followed Fu's mother to toast at Su Tongpan's table. The other guests at the table sat close to Su Tongpan and Su Minyue. Now that the bride had also arrived, they all exclaimed in their hearts that they looked alike, really alike.
Fu's mother raised her wine glass and said, "Thank you all, bosses, and Lord Su for coming to my daughter-in-law's wedding. This is my daughter-in-law, Lin Jiaojiao, the boss of Zhishi Desserts. You can go to her for any business cooperation in the future. Thank you all for your care. I will drink this glass first."
Lin Jiaojiao also raised her wine glass and drank it all. She looked at Su Tongpan's excited face, and Su Minyue beside her smiled and nodded, so she had to respond with a smile.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Fu's mother hurriedly took Lin Jiaojiao to the next table to toast. She didn't want the wedding to turn into a family reunion scene.
It was much quieter behind the screen on the other side, with almost everyone having servants serving them. Father Lin and Lin Yiyan were fine, as they had dealt with Father Fu before, so they were not so restrained while eating.
Although Zhou Xiaofeng and Lian Yun were sitting around a table, they became restrained when they saw people at other tables eating quietly. Even the little ones were infected and ate quietly in their bowls.
Fu Boxin and Fu Hengan clutched their handkerchiefs all the way, wondering how such a gentle and beautiful woman could marry Fu Qi. However, they felt a little relieved after getting off the carriage and seeing the house.
They even disliked the food on the table. They originally wanted to take a bite and criticize it, but in the end they could not find any fault with it at all. Moreover, the taste was something they had never tasted in their 16 years of life.
When did the food in the village become so good?
Fu Sirui was taking care of Fu Siyi while he was eating. This was the first time he saw him eating so seriously. Usually, he would just eat a few bites at the table and then go eat desserts or something.
"Eat slowly, Xiaoyi, don't be in a hurry."
"Brother, this is delicious! I want more sour and sweet!"
There were other younger people at the table. Seeing that the sweet and sour spare ribs were almost gone, they quickly asked the servant behind them to bring some for them.
Fu Siyi became unhappy immediately when he saw this, and pouted his mouth full of oil. Fu Sirui had no choice but to pick up a piece of fried sea fish that he thought was delicious and put it in his bowl.
"Xiaoyi, this is also delicious, you try it."
He tried a bite, then leaned over to Fu Sirui's ear and whispered, "This is delicious too, brother, give me a few more pieces."
"it is good."
Liu Xiuxiu ran over here after finishing her meal and looked at Lin Fei, Zhang Lianyu and others who had also finished their meals and were sitting quietly at the table.
"Lin Fei, are you going to play with Zhang Lianyu? The adults are going to visit the farm. I asked Sister Jiaojiao and she said they can have someone take us horseback riding."
Lin Fei and Zhang Lianyu both looked up at their fathers. Zhou Xiaofeng saw that it was not good to spoil the fun on such a happy day, so he nodded in agreement.
But Lian Yun was absent-minded, thinking about Zhang Yili who was lying in the warm kang room. When he came to help in the morning and learned about this, he almost fainted from anger.
Zhang Lianyu hesitated a little, remembering that his brother and nephew in the house still needed someone to take care of them. Finally, he shook his head and decided not to go.
Lin Fei didn't know what happened last night, and was a little hesitant when he saw that he was not going. However, he couldn't resist the temptation of horse riding and followed Liu Xiuxiu.
Lin Jiaojiao did not go with them, but asked Lin Dadan to take the group. She was already feeling dizzy after drinking so much.
Qian Huilan was scolded by Lian Yun in the morning. She wanted to skip the banquet and leave alone, but there was no carriage to go back.
She was filled with rage after being scolded, but her anger disappeared when Lin Jiaojiao came back from welcoming her bride. Her father was right, Zhang Yili was an ungrateful person who could never be tamed. He didn't even tell her such an important thing as Lin Jiaojiao being the adopted daughter of the prefect!
It made her embarrassed. If she had known all this earlier, the franchise store would have been opened, and she and Lin Jiaojiao could have established a good relationship and become good sisters.
But now I have to please them first, and then I will see how she will deal with him when I get back. My mother is right, men will not be obedient unless they are beaten.
She smiled and greeted the new bosses around her. When these bosses heard that she was Lin Jiaojiao's sister-in-law, they were very interested and followed her to the farm.
When Lin Dadan saw this, he didn't say much, but asked someone to bring the carriage over and got in.
Because it was getting dark, it would take some time to walk around the farm.
Liu Ying's group of mahjong players had quietly gone to the mahjong entertainment room and gathered around a table to play.
Fu Ling and Du Mingrui did not follow the group to visit. Instead, they pulled Lin Jiaojiao to sit at the dinner table and drank heavily.
"Lin Jiao, do you know how I spent the past month after you fell into the sea? I couldn't eat or sleep well every day, and I was always thinking about how to explain to your family when I got back..."
Lin Jiaojiao ate the leftovers on the table and listened to Du Mingrui's accusations, but none of them mentioned Fuqiu on the boat, as if this person had never existed.
"Hey, I also survived a disaster, which means I will have good fortune in the future. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Du. I will drink three cups as punishment for making you worry."
Fu Ling was smart this time. Every time he said he was drinking, he actually just raised the cup and took a small sip.
"You deserve to be punished! I didn't expect you to become my sister-in-law. Drink! Let's not go home until we are drunk!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Jiaojiao waved her hands and said, "No more drinking. If you drink more, you will pass out. Fu Qi is still hungry. I will go in first."
In the bridal chamber, Fu Qi sat on the bridal bed, holding apples in both hands, waiting for the bride to pick up the red veil and drink the wedding wine.
"Young man, how about you eat some of these biscuits first?"
Tongfu brought a biscuit to him. He hadn't eaten for a day and was indeed very hungry. Just as he was hesitating whether to take some, the door was opened.
Tongfu was so scared that he quickly hid the biscuit in his sleeve, and at Lin Jiaojiao's gesture, he left the room and closed the door.
