After Shi Qingluo finished playing the bamboo flute, he handed it back to the maid.

She said with a bit of disdain: "This bamboo flute is still a bit bad, and the sound it plays is flawed."

She looked at Madam Butcher and said, "Madam is going to hold a flower viewing party in the future, so it would be better to prepare all the musical instruments."

"I think the jade flute has a better sound than this bamboo flute. Madam, you can prepare a new one next time."

Mrs. Tu: "..." There are so many things that Qing Luo has to do at this time.

As for Yudi, she will never do such a thing again next time.

She smiled stiffly and said, "I'll try my best to prepare."

Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by trying your best? Your butcher family can't even afford a jade flute?"

"Didn't I hear that your Tu family is the number one family in Beicheng?"

She said with a bit of disgust: "So you are so poor?"

To deal with people like Mrs. Zhu who don't know how to do anything on their face, you have to slap her hard in the face.

To deal with a smiling tiger type like Mrs. Butcher, you must use a soft knife to achieve the best slap in the face effect.

Based on the brief contact, she found that Mrs. Tu was quite dignified. Even if she didn't like her, she didn't show it on her face or expression.

Likes to embarrass her through side effects.

The key is that this butcher is a very face-saving person.

So she deliberately stepped on the other person's face and rubbed it, which made Madam Butcher uncomfortable and crazy.

Sure enough, these words made Mrs. Tu's face look a little ugly.

When Shi Qing fell in love with a village woman, she actually disliked them butchering the family in public. She really didn't know what to say.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and said: "Of course our Tu family can afford a jade flute. I will ask someone to prepare it. In the future, when the princess comes to visit me again, I will prepare it for the princess."

Shi Qingluo nodded with satisfaction, "Very good."

"But I don't like things that others have used. If I want to prepare a jade flute, I want a new one."

She saw the maid taking out the bamboo flute just now from a new box.

She checked it again to make sure it was new, then picked it up and blew it.

Mrs. Tu: "..." Why does this damn girl have so many demands?

But she could only hold back her anger and nod, "Of course."

She then immediately changed the subject, "I brewed apricot flower wine with apricot flowers last year, and I would like to invite you to taste it today."

She made a gesture of invitation again, "For this reason, I have specially asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of dishes. Please come over."

All the female relatives smiled and agreed.

"I've long heard that the flower wine brewed by Mrs. Tu is the best in Beicheng. Today we are in for a treat."

"Yes, last year the peach blossom wine brewed by Mrs. Butcher was sold out as soon as it was released. I even missed buying a bottle."

"Not only is Mrs. Butcher a master at brewing flower wine, her plum wine also tastes great. I was lucky enough to drink it once."

Everyone is very fond of the wine brewed by Mrs. Butcher.

Mrs. Tu finally regained some face. She was very proud in her heart, but she said humbly: "It's all just for fun, to make you laugh."

Shi Qing saw Mrs. Tu's lips raised. This person really loved face and liked to be held in her arms.

The flower wine brewed by Mrs. Butcher is the best in Beicheng. She saw that the information collected by the young husband did contain this.

The reason why Mrs. Tu is so favored and trusted by the Tu Family Head is that, in addition to Ruan Songling's previous help, the key point is that she has a talent for brewing wine.

The big families have many unique secret recipes, such as paper making, sugar making, refined salt extraction, wine making, etc.

The Tu family once made their fortune by making wine. Now the Tu family maintains its reputation as the largest aristocratic family in the North City and its huge expenses because it owns the largest winery in the North City.

Almost all major prefectures and counties in northern Xinjiang have wineries owned by the Tu family, and half of the wine used in large restaurants comes from the Tu family.

Tujia Liquor is even more famous far and wide, and is very popular in the capital.

After Mrs. Tu married into the Tu family, she learned how to make wine and found a new way to specialize in flower wine and fruit wine. Through this, she gained respect in the Tu family and gained a great reputation to the outside world.

It’s no wonder that today we use brewed flower wine to entertain everyone. In fact, the main point is to show off.

Shi Qing curled her lips, not knowing whether she was in conflict with the butcher lady. She was not good at cooking, but she was good at making wine.

And she brewed a batch of wine in the capital, which was not suitable for Kaifeng at that time, so she brought it to Northern Xinjiang.

After arriving in Heyang County, I brewed several batches of wine, including high, medium and low-alcohol liquor, as well as fruit wine and flower wine.

She wanted to see if the flower wine brewed by this butcher lady could really be regarded as one of the best in Beicheng.

Soon, everyone followed Mrs. Butcher to a place dedicated to entertaining guests.

After sitting down, the maid began to serve the food.

Although everyone had come for lunch, many of them were a little hungry by now.

Shi Qingluo looked at the dishes one after another. The presentation was OK, but the food was a bit unsatisfactory to her.

And there were several dishes among them that she had given King Jin recipes for before.

A total of thirty-eight dishes were served, but Shi Qingluo found that many of them were repeated recipes.

For example, braised mutton, braised chicken, braised venison, braised beef...

The braised dishes alone take up several dishes, which is enough.

Oxen not only pull carts, but are also the main force in cultivating the land. Naturally, Daliang has laws against slaughtering oxen indiscriminately.

The aristocratic families in the capital are more restrained and eat less beef for fear of being eaten by ginseng.

Here in Beicheng, because King Jin doesn't care about it and even likes to eat beef, beef is often served on the dining table of the wealthy families, which is also a way to show their status.

Speaking of which, Shi Qingluo scanned the dishes on the table and found that nine of them were beef.

Is Mrs. Butcher trying to show that the Butcher family is very privileged?

After the food was served, many ladies praised it again.

Nowadays, cooking is simple, and this kind of dishes is indeed relatively rich.

Mrs. Butcher smiled and said, "Everyone, please enjoy the banquet."

Then he ordered the maid to bring the apricot flower wine.

When Qing Luo, Xi Rong and Xiao Baili also followed the trend and picked up a few dishes, and then put down their chopsticks in unison.

The taste is really average, not to mention the ones made by Shi Qingluo's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, even the ones made by their cook are better than this.

There is no way, the mouths of the three of them are now full of food.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Butcher couldn't help but ask: "Princess, you stopped using chopsticks so quickly, are you dissatisfied with the banquet?"

This was of course a deliberate question.

I originally thought that village women like Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili would be shocked when they saw such a sumptuous banquet, and couldn't stop eating.

Unexpectedly, she picked up some at random and put down the chopsticks with disgust, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Shi Qingluo nodded and said truthfully: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's that I'm too dissatisfied. The taste of these dishes is really unsatisfactory."

“The meat has a fishy smell and tastes bad.”

"I had high hopes before I came here. I felt that the Tu family is the largest family in Beicheng and would definitely give me a lot of surprises."
