Chapter 354: Pigeon, Abalone, Cordyceps and Ginseng Soup

In the evening, the village chief led the Sun family to the He family's old house for dinner.

Sun Shan looked at Mrs. He carefully. She seemed to be 85 years old this year. She was really a long-lived old lady.

Looking at her rosy face and vigorous spirit, she is truly a blessed old lady.

The old lady of the He family pulled the village chief to chat about this and that. One praised the daughter of the Sun family, and the other praised the son of the He family. You praised me, I praised you, and the two praised each other and made each other laugh.

He's father and mother also chatted with Sun Bomin and others about this and that, but He's father and mother did most of the talking, while Sun Bomin and Second Uncle Sun answered honestly and woodenly, and only asked a few questions occasionally.

Father He looked around. He could understand why Huang Shi didn't come, but he couldn't understand why Third Uncle Sun didn't come either. He asked in confusion, "Why didn't Uncle and Aunt Jin come?"

I remember that the couple also came to the last Juren banquet and had a very pleasant chat with me. Brother Jin'er and his third uncle spoke well of me without asking for anything in return, which made Father He very happy to hear.

When the village chief heard this question, he immediately ignored the old lady of the He family and said with a smile: "My dear, the old lady is at home. My uncle and aunt are worried about her, so they stay at home to take care of her. Alas, there is no other way. We can't leave no one at home. How can we be worried about the old lady being alone at home?"

Family disgrace should not be made public. The village chief only told Aunt Sun about Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun using Jing'er's identity to brag about something. He didn't dare to tell the He family.

Judging from the situation, Aunt Sun should not have told the He family.

However, I also ask the village chief and Mrs. Huang to keep a close eye on the Sun family, including Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, and not let them talk nonsense.

He's father quickly said yes, yes, yes, and praised Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun for their filial piety, saying they were a rare good son and daughter-in-law.

He's mother also said that after the banquet, she would prepare some banquet food to take back so that Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, and Mrs. Huang could share in the joy.

He Dalang and He Dasao also said that after the banquet, they would bring back some good soup ingredients. Their He family had nothing but a lot of soup ingredients. They also said that drinking more soup was nutritious and their children would be particularly smart in studying.

He Shujin smiled and agreed, "Aunt is right. To be honest, I was able to pass the exam thanks to my uncle and aunt who made soup for me every day."

Pointing at Ke'er, she said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, please take care of our Ke'er. You need to make more soup for him so that he can be smarter."

My cousin's wife Liang Mengyao quickly agreed: "My aunt's skill in making soup is one of the best in the family. My family is so lucky."

Ke'er also said crisply: "Grandma, I want to drink the soup you cook. I want to be the top scorer in the imperial examination. Grandpa, you have to give me good soup ingredients. I won't refuse it."

As soon as these words came out, He Dalang and He Dasao quickly picked up the guest and agreed immediately.

It can be seen that one of the two was willing.

Sun Shan secretly glanced at his eldest cousin, and then secretly glanced at He Dalang. No wonder his eldest cousin was the "killer" of all the men, women, and children in the He family.

This art of speaking brings joy to everyone who listens to it.

He is handsome, speaks well and is talented.

Sun Shan admired him very much.

The dinner was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

The Sun family members walked out of the He family's old house slowly with their bellies bulging.

Su didn't dare to speak in the He family's old house, and even didn't dare to eat too much. After returning to Aunt Sun's house, she went to the kitchen for a snack. Fortunately, there were often snacks in the He family's kitchen, and Su quickly took them to fill her stomach.

Gui Ge'er also didn't eat enough, so he ate at He's house very cautiously, not daring to eat too much. After finishing the food in his bowl, he didn't dare to get more rice, nor did he dare to ask the servants to get more rice. After returning to the house, he followed Su Shi to find food.

Sun Bomin looked at the two of them helplessly and said helplessly: "What are you afraid of? We are all family, why don't you dare to eat? If there is no snack, you two will starve tonight."

In fact, not only Su, but also Gui Ge'er and Aunt Sun didn't dare to eat too much.

It was just that her daughter Xiaoxue came to see her and brought her a lot of food, so she ate some to fill her stomach before going to the He family's old house for dinner.

Second Aunt Sun helped to speak up: "Brother, it's normal that Sister-in-law and Brother Gui don't dare to eat. Look at the He family's bowls and chopsticks, they are so exquisite. To be honest, I'm afraid of breaking them when I hold them in my hands. I heard that the bowls and chopsticks of wealthy families are a set, and if one is broken, they have to replace it with a new set."

Everyone looked at Sun Shan expectantly. Among so many people present, Sun Shan was the most educated and cultured.

How could Sun Shan understand all this? He had never eaten at the home of a powerful person.

In my impression, the bowls and chopsticks in Li Xinyun and Mr. He San's house were indeed set in sets, and they were really exquisite.

We are having dinner at the He family’s old house tonight, and the arrangements are also very complete.

As for whether if one bowl and chopsticks were broken, the whole set would be thrown away, Sun Shan really didn't understand. He had never broken any bowls and chopsticks before, nor had he seen with his own eyes a wealthy family's bowl and chopsticks being thrown away because of a broken one.

But Aunt Sun would definitely not do that. Even though she is now prominent, she still maintains the simple and unpretentious qualities she cultivated in the countryside.

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Second Aunt, that's not the case. If one is broken, we just throw it away. Why would we throw away a whole set? That would be too extravagant. The He family is not that kind of family."

Aunt Sun said "oh" but still didn't dare to use the He family's exquisite dishes and chopsticks. She was really afraid of breaking them.

She doesn't have to pay the compensation, but it would be embarrassing for Aunt Sun. Her children are all in the capital and depend on Aunt Sun for food. Second Aunt Sun cannot do anything to embarrass Aunt Sun.

Su ate a few pieces of cakes and finally felt full. She said awkwardly, "Boss, I'd rather eat less than more at the table. I'm afraid if I eat too much, I'll be laughed at. We are the eldest sister's family, so we must be careful about our words and deeds. Anyway, if we're not full, we can come back to eat. I can't eat like I've never eaten good food before."

He turned to Gui Ge'er and said, "Gui Ge'er, this is the right thing to do today. You can't eat too much at other people's banquets. It's very rude. People will say you are a starving ghost who has never eaten. If you are really hungry, come back to eat after the banquet is over. We are family, so we can talk about anything. Do you understand?"

Gui Ge'er agreed and said, "Aunt, I know. I won't be disrespectful to Shan Ge. I see that Shan Ge eats very little. I can't eat more than him."

Everyone looked at Sun Shan at the same time, their eyes seemed to be asking: Why do you eat so little?

At the same time, I was asking myself: Did I eat too much just now?

Sun Shan couldn't let them misunderstand him, so he quickly explained: "I ate less because I drank three bowls of soup. My stomach was full a long time ago, so how could I eat more?"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, actually the most expensive dish at tonight's banquet is the soup. I saw that you guys didn't drink it, so I hurried to drink it. Hehe, it can't be wasted."

Tonight, the He family spent a lot of money to make a pot of baby pigeon, abalone, cordyceps and ginseng soup. Unfortunately, the Sun family didn't know the value of it and stopped drinking after a small bowl. Sun Shan had to eat the rest because it couldn't be wasted.

When the Sun family heard Sun Shan explain why the soup was so expensive, they instantly regretted it and wished they would have drunk more.

Anyway, drinking soup looks better than eating a lot of food, and it has high nutritional value.

If I miss it tonight, I don’t know when I can eat it next time.

Pigeon, abalone, cordyceps and flower soup: high-end nourishing and health-preserving food, high nutritional value, and easy to digest. It has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, nourishing yin and kidney, promoting body fluid and moistening dryness, and enhancing immunity.
