Chapter 511 Sister Lan, who was that girl just now?
After Shen Yuanfei finished speaking, she came to Shen Ruolan, took her arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Lan, I often hear Third Brother mention your extraordinary cooking skills. I want to try it today, is that okay?"
Shen Ruolan smiled at Shen Yuanfei and replied, "Of course."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she said to everyone, "Everyone go to the dining room and wait. I will go and cook for everyone to welcome us."
"Thank you, Sister Lan." Shen Yuanfei responded happily to Shen Ruolan.
After saying this, she let go of Shen Ruolan and happily helped her mother into the house.
Ji Ning was naturally responsible for handing over the dowry to the Shen family's steward. After she completed the handover, she looked at the account book and was secretly shocked. The dowry that the Shen family gave to her master was far more than what her master prepared for herself.
Among the Shen family’s dowry, there were more than twenty pharmacies in Beiming and nearly sixty doctors who sold their bodies.
You know, it's easy to open a pharmacy, but it's not so easy to find a doctor, especially one who sells himself. The Shen family has dozens of them, which is really rare.
The next things were all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, medicinal gardens, gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins, etc. Even Ji Ning, who grew up in a wealthy family, couldn't help but be dazzled by the sight.
Ji Ning looked at the many things and roughly estimated in his mind that the total value was no less than what Jiang Qing gave to his master.
Ji Ning took a deep breath and said to himself, "Her master is really rich now. With the betrothal gift from King Han, her total assets are at least seven million taels. She is almost as rich as a country."
The steward who was handing over to Ji Ning, seeing Ji Ning like this, knew that she was an inexperienced little girl, and was worried that she would mess up and cause an accident. He reminded her cryptically: "Steward Ji, these dowries are very heavy, you have to take good care of them."
Ji Ning was not stupid to begin with. After hearing the other party's reminder, she immediately understood what the other party meant. She smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, Manager Shen. I will help the master take care of everything."
The Shen family's steward saw that Ji Ning had taken his words to heart, so he nodded at her and went to report to the head of the family.
In the kitchen, Shen Ruolan cooked every dish herself in order to better entertain everyone, including boiled fish, sauced spareribs, braised fish, braised pork, etc.
It took an hour and a half to finish cooking the meal.
Wan Dong brought a group of maids, carrying dishes to the table one after another. When everyone was getting ready to eat, Jiang Dichen came back from outside.
When the people of the Shen family saw him, they all stood up and saluted him, saying, "I greet you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Dichen raised his hand to the people of the Shen family and said, "Uncles and aunts, we are all family members, so there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Uncle Shen took the lead.
Jiang Dichen nodded and said to everyone with a friendly smile: "You are Ruolan's relatives, and you will also be my Jiang Dichen's relatives in the future. Please sit down and eat together."
Everyone in the Shen family looked at each other, nodded to Jiang Dichen, and sat down.
At the dinner table, everyone happily ate the food prepared by Shen Ruolan. After Shen Yuanfei tasted every dish, she looked up at Shen Ruolan and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, now I finally understand why Third Brother doesn't want to go home."
Shen Ruolan put down her chopsticks, looked at Shen Yuanfei and asked, "What do you understand?"
Shen Yuanfei said: "It's Sister Lan who cooked the meal. It's really delicious."
Aunt Shen also put down her chopsticks and asked Shen Ruolan in surprise, "That's right, Ruolan, why can't we make the same thing taste the same?"
In Yaowang Valley, because Shen Hui likes to eat, anything he eats outside must be available in Yaowang Valley. So, no matter whether it is the side dishes or raw materials that Shen Ruolan will cook today, they have them, but they just can't make the dish taste like hers.
After Shen Ruolan listened to what the two said, she smiled and said to them: "I guess everyone's cooking methods are different, so there are some differences in the food they make."
"Yes, it should be." After Aunt Shen finished speaking, she said to Shen Ruolan, "Ruolan, remember to ask Aunt to come with you next time you cook, so that I can learn from you."
"And me." Shen Yuanfei replied with a smile.
Shen Ruolan was about to agree when she heard Shen Qi say, "Lan'er is getting married in a few days, so she's busy. If you want to learn how to cook, go learn from the chef."
Although the chef that her granddaughter brought from Fuzhai was not as good as her in cooking skills, the food he cooked was still better than those chefs in the restaurants outside.
"Yes, grandpa." After hearing what her grandfather said, Shen Yuanfei smiled mischievously at him and responded.
Aunt Shen also smiled and nodded, then concentrated on eating.
Shen Yuanfei rarely went out, and she seemed very excited. While eating, she chatted with Shen Ruolan, "Sister Lan, our Shen family has been very busy in the past two years, either marrying off our daughters or getting married."
When Shen Ruolan heard about the wedding in Yaowang Valley, she looked up at her and asked, "Sister Fei'er, who is getting married in Yaowang Valley?"
She is now a relative of Yaowang Valley, and she cannot miss anything happening in Yaowang Valley.
Shen Yuanfei glanced at Shen Hui at the next table, and said to Shen Ruolan with a smile: "Who else could it be? This year it's you who will be married, and next spring, it will be the turn of my third brother to get married."
After Shen Yuanfei finished speaking, she did not forget to add: "It's no wonder that the wife that Second Mother found for Third Brother is a very good person. It's a pity that the journey is long, otherwise, Second Aunt would like Sister Xi to come with me to see Third Brother."
Ding Xiaofan, who was eating silently, suddenly went blank in her mind after hearing Shen Yuanfei's words. The bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, scaring everyone who was eating.
Shen Hui at the next table saw this, he hurried over and asked Ding Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?"
Ding Xiaofan looked at the bowl that she had knocked over and her face turned pale instantly. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she became panicked and didn't know what to do.
Shen Ruolan understood why Ding Xiaofan was like this. She looked at the maid behind her and ordered, "Dong'er, Miss Ding is not feeling well. Help her back to her room to rest first."
"Yes, Master." Dong'er came behind Ding Xiaofan and said to her, "Miss Ding, I will help you go back and rest."
Ding Xiaofan nodded to Wan Dong, forced a smile at everyone at the table and said, "Everyone, take your time eating. I'll be leaving first."
After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Shen Hui and walked out in a panic.
Seeing this, Shen Hui instinctively wanted to chase after him, but his second uncle Shen called out to him, "Hui'er, we're having dinner, where are you going?"
After listening to his father's words, Shen Hui paused for a moment, then returned to his seat and prepared to wait for everyone to finish their meal before going to see Ding Xiaofan.
Shen Yuanfei belatedly asked Shen Ruolan, "Sister Lan, who was that girl just now?"
