Chapter 149 Visiting the Jin Family
The taro paste and egg yolk crisps were packed in a double-layer food box, with two plates, each with ten pieces.
The barbecue is wrapped in oil paper bags from the store and placed in bamboo baskets.
The milk tea was served in bamboo tubes, with twelve cups in total. Each cup was equipped with a bamboo straw, and all were neatly stacked in a long bamboo basket.
The maids helped to bring out the food, and the barbecue was placed on plates. Song Sanniang introduced them to everyone one by one.
"This is taro paste and egg yolk pastry, which is similar to the mung bean cake we usually eat, except that the filling is replaced with taro paste, egg yolk, and mochi.
This bamboo tube is called pearl milk tea, which is made from milk and tea leaves. The pearls inside are made from tapioca flour.
There is also barbecue, which is similar to fried skewers, but this barbecue is grilled over charcoal instead of fried, and the taste is a bit sweet because there is honey in the dipping sauce. "
After she finished speaking, Jin Zhaohua called out, "Someone hurry up and bring little Zhengren here. He will definitely like these things." The maid who was waiting on the side went there immediately.
Song Sanniang heard this and asked, "Is Zhengren still not well? Can he eat these? Barbecue is a bit hot, and eating it will make you get a sore throat."
Jin Zhaohua picked up the food and ate it himself, saying, "It's okay, he was just a little frightened. My third uncle kept him from going out."
Song Sanniang was relieved after hearing this. She still liked Young Master Zhengren very much. This child did not have the temper of the older young master. He also liked to eat the food made in her shop and had a sweet mouth.
Jin Zhaohua doesn't really like sweet food, but after eating an egg yolk pastry, she started to like it.
"The taste of this egg yolk pastry is really unique, sweet and salty, with the dense texture of taro and the crunchy texture of salted egg yolk. I like it."
Jin Zhaoyi was drinking milk tea, and felt the pearls under the bamboo tube. She sucked the bamboo tube hard, sucked the pearls into her mouth, and chewed the pearls in her mouth.
Her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "This bubble milk tea is delicious too. The pearls are sticky and fun to chew."
Jin Zhaotong was eating barbecue. The bamboo sticks had been removed by the maids. She elegantly picked up a grilled squid with chopsticks and started eating.
She slowly finished eating the squid and picked up some dried fish, then curiously asked, "So dried fish can be grilled and eaten."
This kind of dried fish is called multi-flavor fish. It is only the size of an ordinary leaf. When the fish is dried, it is jade-colored with a silver sheen.
After being roasted, it turns amber in color, tastes slightly sweet and chewy, and is delicious even without any seasoning.
Jin Zhaotong couldn't stop eating after she ate one. Seeing how delicious she was, the others started eating too. Now, no one could stop eating.
While everyone was enjoying their meal, Master Zhengren's voice came from outside the door, "Wait for me, I'm coming."
Soon, someone came running in, followed by a breathless maid.
Seeing that everyone was already eating, he politely greeted Song Sanniang, and then quickly found an empty seat and sat down.
Then he looked at the things on the table and saw the barbecued plate with chicken wings and chicken legs, so he picked up a chicken wing first.
It’s not that he likes chicken wings. He has eaten all kinds of delicacies at home. It’s just that he likes sweet fried chicken wings.
Now this is very similar to fried chicken wings. He hasn't eaten anything sweet for a long time, and he missed it. He asked the cook at home to make fried skewers, but the taste was not as good as the sweet ones.
After finishing a chicken wing, Master Zhengren saw that everyone had a bamboo tube in front of them, sucking something out of it. He didn't need to stretch out his hand, as a maid naturally saw his look and put milk tea in front of him.
He followed everyone else's example and drank the milk tea. After taking a few sips, he smiled and said, "This is really delicious. I like it."
Song Sanniang smiled and said, "This is very simple. It is made by boiling milk and tea leaves. If you like it, I will leave the recipe for you later."
She was not worried at all that the Jin family would take the formula to make money for themselves. One table was enough for her store to run for several months, so why would they be interested in her crappy formula?
Young Master Zhengren nodded happily and said to his maid, "Did you hear that, Jinju? Remember to write it down to Sister Song later." Jinju smiled and agreed.
Suddenly, a majestic male voice with a smile sounded outside the door, "It seems that everyone is enjoying their meal. Did we disturb your meal?"
When everyone heard this, they looked up and saw a tall and strong middle-aged man standing outside the door with his hands behind his back. Although his eyes were smiling, one could see a sharp edge in them.
He was 50% similar to Kim Jung-an, but he had a short beard on his chin, which made him look more majestic. Kim Jung-an also stood beside him and smiled at everyone.
Jin Zhaohua shouted in surprise, "Brother, second brother, why are you both here? Come in quickly."
The two smiled and walked into the house. They each found an empty seat and sat down. Jin Zhaohua introduced Song Sanniang, "Sanniang, this is my eldest brother, Jin Zhengfeng."
After that, she introduced Song Sanniang to Jin Zhengfeng, "Brother, this is Miss Song that we often mention. It is thanks to cousin Jun that we are able to know each other."
Song Sanniang was a junior, so of course she had to greet him first. However, she was a little nervous when facing Jin Zhengfeng, because he was different from the elders she had met before. Jin Zhengfeng had an edge that could not be hidden.
Jin Zhengan is like a reserved brother, He San is like a brother who loves to tease children, Yan, the shopkeeper, and Master Tan are like kind elders to her, not to mention the village chief and the clan leader.
Song Sanniang felt that she had no way to hide in front of him, as if he could see through her every word and action. Although she had not done anything bad, she felt like she could not relax in front of him.
She followed the principle of "too much talk leads to mistakes" and smiled and called out to him, "Brother Jin."
Jin Zhengfeng had investigated Song Sanniang's family long before his cousin asked him to look after them. His ancestors had scholars, but unfortunately they fell into poverty, and the descendants did not live up to their expectations.
After Song Sanniang's family split up, the family gradually made money by selling the sweet soup made by Song Sanniang.
Because of selling sweet soup, he got to know the He family. Later, because of the affairs of the second daughter of the He family, he became good friends with his younger cousin. Then he went to the capital to open a shop. Then, through his younger cousin, he got to know his younger brothers and sisters.
He never stopped his siblings from dating anyone, because to him, it was not a big deal.
However, this little girl improved her family's financial situation at a young age, and after marrying her cousin, she also won the hearts of her younger brothers and sisters. This made him a little wary. He thought that this little girl's methods were a little too advanced.
Since he was a teenager and followed his father, he was exposed to all kinds of business tricks and intrigues. He would not look at things simply.
So after the things she gave him came in handy for his little cousin, he became interested in this little girl and wanted to see what she was up to.
