Zhou Ying quickly got someone to serve the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup and the cold dishes. Zhou Ying even personally brought five bottles of wine.
When the three little fellows saw that there was food, they immediately returned and sat obediently in the arms of the adults, waiting for the dishes to be served.
The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup immediately attracted everyone’s attention as soon as it appeared. However, Zhou Ying and her husband only tasted a sip and ate some pig ears.
When the Grand Empress Dowager saw this, she also picked up one and put it in her mouth. “Refreshing, crunchy, and tasty.”
“Previously, I heard that you could turn the off parts for pigs delicious. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I finally believe it.”
“Grandmother, you should try the Braised Pork Intestine later. It’s very delicious.” The Emperor quipped in.
“Definitely.”
“Dad, try this shredded seaweed. It’s obvious that Zhou Ying made it herself, so it will be great.” Zhou Huaiming said as he picked up some shredded seaweed with his chopsticks and passed it to General Zhou.
“How do you know that Zhou Ying made it herself?” Mingyu asked curiously.
“Isn’t that simple? It’s not on the menu. I suggest you add it to the menu as it’s quite delicious and very appetizing.”
“I can consider giving it to the guests as a side dish, especially for those who eat hotpot.” Zhou Ying smiled and nodded.
“Cough, the hotpot you made is also delicious, but it’s easy to get heaty. I don’t dare to eat too much.” The Grand Empress Dowager said.
“It’s because of the mutton. It will be much better when you eat it with herbal and pear soup.” Zhou Ying replied.
Soon, the dishes began to be served one after another, especially the Eight Treasures Chicken, which was already prepared.
After the banquet began, the first half was to comment and taste the dishes. In the second half, the Grand Empress Dowager carefully introduced Qin Weiwen, while Zhou Huaiming praised Zhou Huaiyu.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying finally understood. To put it bluntly, this dinner was a blind date for the two of them.
However, when she remembered that Qin Weiwen was from another city, she understood the reason why they were having a blind date.
After dinner, Zhou Huaiming and Ming Yu covered for the two of them, and the four went downstairs to shop around.
It was bustling outside, with many hawkers and visitors.
Guoguo crawled behind the window and looked outside. “Mommy, there’s a rabbit lantern over there. It’s really nice. Let’s go buy it.”
“Grandpa, I want to buy a lantern too,” Zhuangzhuang immediately shouted.
“Go, go.” Yangyang jumped up and down.
“Cough, I’ll arrange for someone to buy it for you, but you’d better not go out.
“There are so many people outside. If you get lost, you won’t be able to find us and become unwanted children.” Zhou Ying stood up, turned around, and walked out.
Guoguo looked at Gu Chengrui unwillingly. Gu Chengrui shook his head and said, “I can promise you anything else, but not this. There are too many people outside. If you fall over, you will be trampled into a pancake.”
“Pancake!” Yangyang shouted.
When the Emperor saw this, he gave him a small piece of egg biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth.
As for the Grand Empress Dowager and Gu Wanning, who were leaning against the window, they looked at the people and stalls on the street with great interest.
The liveliness was a completely different world from the coldness in the palace.
Soon, Gu Chengrui personally bought three lanterns. There was a rabbit that Guoguo liked, a tiger that Zhuangzhuang wanted, and a dog that Yangyang liked.
He even bought a few fried sugar cakes.
With the lanterns, the three children finally became obedient.
People started guessing lantern riddles on a platform not far away from the street.
“I’m sure it’ll be even more lively tomorrow.” Zhou Ying looked at the academy students who had gathered together..
