Chapter 374 Kill two birds with one stone
Zheng Huaming was a chatterbox on weekdays, and his mouth hardly stopped talking. However, the moment he saw Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi, he seemed to be under a spell, and froze in place for a long time before he came to his senses.
But this was only a matter of a moment, and then he returned to his lively appearance, as if the loss of consciousness just now had never happened.
He said to Xiaocao'er with a smile on his face: "Sister Xiaocao'er, your family's marinade is really the most authentic! I have tried it from so many restaurants, and none of them can compare to yours." His words did not hide his love and admiration for Xiaocao'er's marinade.
At this time, Yun Er, who was sitting next to Xiao Xing and eating barbecue with gusto, couldn't help but interjected: "Yes, yes, sometimes I crave this delicious taste so much, but the ones bought outside don't taste like this at all! Yours are still better." After saying that, he took another big bite of the barbecue skewer in his hand.
Hearing this, Sanmao, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel proud. He raised his head and laughed, "Haha, of course. Our family's brine has an exclusive secret recipe. Others can't learn it even if they want to. So, only our family can make such an authentic taste."
After hearing this, Zheng Huaming sighed softly and said helplessly: "Alas, even if I know that your brine tastes authentic, it's not easy to eat it. I can't come to your place every day, right?"
At this time, Xiao Caoer picked up a piece of freshly roasted eggplant with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The eggplant was mashed and covered with golden garlic. After being roasted over charcoal fire, it exuded a tempting aroma. When the garlic and the fresh eggplant were perfectly blended together, the wonderful taste was simply indescribable.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Xiao Caoer looked at Zheng Huaming with a smile and said gently: "Brother Huaming, if you really want to eat it, you can come to our house in advance and tell us. Maybe we will continue to do the brine business in the future. This way you can eat it anytime."
When Zheng Huaming heard that he could eat the marinated soup anytime, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said bluntly: "Then I really won't be polite to you!"
In this way, a group of people sat around the table, enjoying the fragrant barbecue, tasting the mellow and delicious wine, and chatting from time to time. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Everyone's face was filled with satisfaction and leisure.
At this time, Qi Xingyun saw a suitable opportunity, stood up and walked towards Old Lady Yang and Yang Dashan and his wife, and invited them with a smile: "Grandma, uncle, aunt, please follow me to the study. I have something to discuss with you." Old Lady Yang and Yang Dashan and his wife looked at each other, a little surprised, but still agreed happily. Then, Master Qi and Madam Qi also walked into the study together.
It turned out that after asking Xiaocao'er about her wishes, Qi Xingyun rushed to the palace overnight to meet the emperor and the queen mother. He reported his intention to the Yang family and begged the emperor and the queen mother to facilitate this matter.
The reason why the Emperor and Empress Dowager left the palace today was to help Qi Xingyun propose marriage to the Yang family and to attend the party held by the Yang family. Since they had to leave the palace anyway, it would be better to handle both things at once, which would kill two birds with one stone.
Sanmao, who was bragging, saw them entering the study one after another, and thought to himself that there must be something to discuss. So he quickly brewed a pot of fragrant hot tea and carefully brought it into the study.
After everyone was seated, Madam Qi smiled and held Grandma Yang's rough but warm hand, saying in a friendly tone, "Grandma, our family came here today because we really want to enjoy your delicious food, but on the other hand, there is actually something very important that I want to discuss with you."
"Oh, Mrs. Qi! We are very familiar with each other. If you have anything to say, just tell us directly!" said Old Mrs. Yang with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Qi nodded slightly, sighed softly and said, "Old lady, look at our Xingyun, he is already in his twenties, but he still hasn't got married!
Let’s not talk about other families, just talk about the Huaming family’s children, they have already started to learn to read and write, but our Xingyun is still alone! So, I am thinking about finding a good girl for him. "
Mrs. Qi did not beat around the bush and said directly that she did not want to use the same model of getting along with the ladies in the capital to get along with the Yang family.
The Yang family is different from other families! We all come from the countryside, and we are not as calculating and cunning as those wealthy families. We are all kind-hearted!
