Yes, Wu Yong had a clear self - awareness and classified himself as an unimportant person.
If he wanted to cling tightly to the powerful figure of the Junior Grand Tutor, shouldn't he show more considerate care?
When Wu Yuanjing heard that he had wrongly blamed his son, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Seeing the flickering looks in his colleagues' eyes, he was very proud of his son's good sense of propriety.
He waved his hand grandly and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly. Also prepare a gift for me. Ask your mother to help with it."
His wife must know better what would suit a little girl.
Although the Junior Grand Tutor was like a celestial being descending to the mortal world, this was still the mortal realm, and the gifts would surely come in handy.
Yue Fuguang also appreciated Wu Yong's thoughtfulness. Although she didn't lack anything, the thought behind the gifts was very nice. She couldn't let these people get used to getting things for free.
Thinking this way, she still politely said, "Lord Wu, Young Master Wu, there's no need for gifts. Just come in person."
"Need to, need to." After saying that, Wu Yong scurried out of the main hall in a flash. With his nimble movements, he disappeared like a gust of wind with his quick, small steps.
Yue Fuguang couldn't help but sigh, "What a nimble fat guy!"
The others also bowed to Yue Fuguang and said, "Junior Grand Tutor, you go first. We'll arrive later."
Yue Fuguang knew that these people were going home to get gifts.
Since there were a lot of people, Yue Fuguang specifically arranged the dining place in a spacious hall of the Yu Mansion.
She bought two catties of special barbecue sauce and various dipping sauces from the system mall.
Eating only barbecue would be too dry, so she asked the big kitchen to cook three soups according to the recipes she provided, namely Song's Fish Congee, Russian Borscht, and Mushroom Chicken Soup.
Unexpectedly, this matter even caught the attention of the old lady and Madam Zhang.
Madam Zhang personally inquired about it. Leading the maids and servants, she rushed to the kitchen and warned the cooks not to spread the recipes.
The same applied to the new and delicious food that the young lady asked to make in the future. She also directly sent the indentures of the whole family to the Mingyue Pavilion.
When Emperor Mingxi and a group of officials saw the snow - white, pure, and odorless salt during the barbecue, they fell into silence.
They had tasted this kind of good salt at the banquet when Yue Fuguang was adopted last time. There was no strange smell in the food, and they had guessed that it must have been refined by the Junior Grand Tutor.
But this was the first time they saw it in person. They didn't expect that the so - called Snowflake Salt would really be as white and pure as snowflakes, as fine as sand.
Looking at the white salt in front of them, one official with a poetic impulse blurted out, "The white alkali is crystal - clear and tastes mellow, enhancing flavors and adding sweetness to the years."
When faced with delicious food, the poems recited were more down - to - earth.
Looking at the dazzling array of barbecue powders and a wide variety of dipping sauces, everyone started to learn from Yue Fuguang's way of grilling.
Barbecue was the only skill that Yue Fuguang from her previous life could be proud of.
Unfortunately, she overlooked one thing. In this life, she was supposed to be eight years old, but actually looked only six or seven. Her height was just a little taller than the barbecue grill.
This greatly restricted her performance. It wouldn't be good to keep standing on tiptoe to barbecue all the time. How could that not damage her glorious image of the "little immortal"?
Yue Fuguang murmured, "System, why did you give me such a tall barbecue stand? A small red - clay stove would be great. It has style and can also be used for brewing tea around the stove. It would be so romantic on a snowy winter day."
She sprinkled some chili powder and cumin powder on the venison brought by Emperor Mingxi and then continued to complain, "Look at what you've got me. It's ugly and has no style at all."
The system was also aggrieved. [Host, you said you wanted the cheapest one, and this is the cheapest model. Isn't the red - clay stove you wanted being used to roast your secret weapon?]
"Miss, it's hot. Let this maid help you grill, okay?" After watching the young lady's operation, Lvzhu had basically learned how to do it.
"Yes, miss. Let us help you grill. It's smoky and hot here. Don't hurt yourself." Cuiyu also joined in the persuasion.
Seeing that her maids were so considerate and had given her a good excuse, Yue Fuguang nodded and said, "Okay, be careful not to hurt yourselves."
Yue Fuguang walked around to the others. It could be said that except for herself who specialized in grilling meat skewers, everyone else, including Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince, had a pile of various vegetables in front of them, all from Yue Fuguang's small vegetable garden.
Emperor Mingxi didn't do the grilling himself, but he sat grandly beside the grill and ordered Eunuch Qian around, who was doing the actual grilling.
On his exclusive grill, besides a few skewers of meat, there were all vegetables. Was he planning to have his fill this time?
Yue Fuguang had heard that Emperor Mingxi was very frugal with the vegetables she sent. She found it quite amusing when she heard about it.
But she didn't increase the amount for him.
She couldn't feel sorry for him at all. After all, he had a lot of wives and concubines, and they had given birth to many children for him. As a husband and father, he could distribute them to the people he liked. It was none of her business.
When plates of vegetables and meat skewers were placed on the table, and the three soups in large white porcelain basins were also brought up by the maids, the gathering officially began.
"Junior Grand Tutor, what kind of soup is this? Why is it so delicious? This is the best soup I've ever had in my life!" Wu Yong was sweating from drinking the soup.
He felt extremely happy at this moment. Being able to enjoy such delicious food, he suddenly felt that the saying "Life is only worth living for delicious food" was so true!
Of course, he didn't forget to praise his powerful backer, the Junior Grand Tutor. He just kept singing her praises.
Wu Yuanjing said, "It's as if I've starved you! Sluurp. But this soup is really delicious!"
Looking at the chubby cheeks of Wu Yong puffing up and down, Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "These soups are Song's Fish Congee, Russian Borscht, and Mushroom Chicken Soup. Each has a different taste. If you like it, drink more."
She picked up a small thin pancake, put some lettuce, sauce, and scallions in it, and finally added some fatty - lean mixed grilled meat.
Yue Fuguang handed the rolled meat pancake to Yu Chongshan and said, "Grandfather, have this."
When Yu Chongshan saw the pancake handed to him, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and he almost shed tears.
Seeing this scene, the people around were extremely envious and jealous. Emperor Mingxi even secretly cast longing looks at Yue Fuguang.
She just pretended not to see. His son was sitting right beside him. If he wanted to eat, he should ask his precious son.
Yu Chongshan took the pancake with a smile under the envious looks of the crowd. He said gently, "Grandfather thanks our Fuguang. The pancake wrapped by my granddaughter must be the most delicious."
Finally, he made an excuse for his red - rimmed eyes and said, "I also grilled a lot just now. It was just a bit smoky. Look, my eyes got red from the smoke."
Yue Fuguang cooperated well and said, "Then I'll have the ones you grilled."
Hearing her being so considerate, Yu Chongshan was overjoyed. Suddenly, he became unsure of his grilling skills.
He quickly said, "Let your father and your third uncle taste the saltiness for us first."
The two brothers, who were already extremely jealous that their father could get the pancake wrapped by their daughter, didn't expect their father to be so unfair.
In order to please his granddaughter, he actually asked his own sons to be the "tasters"!
