This first dinner will still need to be eaten at the mansion.
Moreover, in the morning I only saw that scheming and manipulative Aunt Liu.
He also has a simple-minded younger brother, Versace.
Because the arrival was so sudden, I didn't even see Ruoruo.
That cheap old man was away at court and we didn't see him.
We have to meet up in the evening to say hello.
So, somewhat reluctantly, I said goodbye and left.
Fei Jie, however, stayed.
He doesn't have a father he wants to see.
As for the Supervisory Council, they're not in a hurry to go back.
A meal can still be delayed a bit.
The main reason is that we've been traveling for a long time and have been tired and suffering for a long time.
It especially hurt my stomach.
On the road, we either ate dry rations or grabbed a quick bite at a post station.
Since I happen to be here today, I'll naturally take advantage of a good meal first.
Fei Jie stared wide-eyed, his eyes somewhat cloudy and filled with the lingering effects of brown poison.
He looked at Su Yu and smiled slightly.
"Su Yu, what do you want to eat tonight?"
After thinking for a moment, I added.
"I came here especially to see you today."
"This can be considered a reunion banquet, and also a welcome banquet for Lao Fei."
"You have to get me something good to eat, don't just give me a perfunctory meal."
Su Yu shook her head and couldn't help but smile.
"Row."
"What would you like to eat, Mr. Fei?"
"Everything is arranged for tonight."
Fei Jie rested his chin on one hand and pondered for a moment.
Then his gaze fell on Wu Zhu, who was standing to the side.
Actually, what he craved most wasn't any Kyoto cuisine.
I still miss the five masters' signature dishes.
I haven't been able to eat this since leaving Danzhou.
He then looked at Su Yu, and then glanced at Wu Zhu.
The meaning in their eyes was already quite clear.
Su Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.
Fei Jie's idea was naturally also his idea.
When it comes to cooking skills, who can compare to a blind man?
He's always been craving the wine brewed by the blind man, as well as the dishes he makes.
It's a pity that the blind man had been in Danzhou all along.
Now things are much better; he lives in the mansion.
Then naturally we can eat it every day.
Su Yu smiled calmly and looked at the blind man, Wu Zhu.
Then they naturally began ordering food.
"Braised pork knuckle in soy sauce, poached chicken, braised lion's head meatballs, steamed red carp..."
Wu Zhu tilted his head slightly and listened quietly.
He then nodded indifferently.
"it is good."
Fei Jie was startled.
Why do the five adults listen to this brat Su Yu so much?
He was initially worried that Fan Xian wouldn't be around.
He had no reason to make the five adults cook anymore.
It's possible we won't get to eat this meal.
However, on a whim, I asked Su Yu for help.
Anyway, scholars are cunning and eloquent.
What if.
In case he gives a tactical speech and convinces the five adults to cook.
The result was actually this?
Su Yu immediately spoke up and announced the names of the dishes.
Did the five adults obediently agree?
It's really puzzling.
But then I thought about it.
It seems like it happened before when I was in Danzhou.
The five adults also listened to what Su Yu said.
But I stopped thinking about it; as long as I could eat, that was good enough.
So, without any hesitation, they added another dish.
"Then I'll have another Mapo Tofu."
After saying that, he glanced tentatively at Wu Zhu and weakly added a sentence.
"Thank you, Fifth Master."
"Thank you for your help, Fifth Master."
Wu Zhu ignored him, turned around and left without looking back, heading towards the kitchen.
Fei Jie didn't care, since the Five Great Masters were always so aloof.
He was just a little confused as to whether the five adults had actually agreed to let him add that dish.
After all, the five adults had nodded in clear agreement when Su Yu ordered the food.
Fei Jie waited anxiously.
Before long, all the dishes were served.
Su Yu looked at the large table of dishes in front of her and raised an eyebrow.
Blind people are truly a treasure.
The speed at which he cooks, the quality of the dishes, the skill of his chef.
One word, absolutely!
As for why he directly recited the names of the dishes to Wu Zhu.
It's because they know that the characteristic of blind people is that they are simple and direct.
I don't like nonsense.
Cooking a few dishes is a piece of cake for him.
Su Yu gave him the names of the dishes, and he just had to cook them.
Of course, this might be said by someone else.
All you can get is an iron rod.
But Su Yu is different; he is someone Fan Xian respects and trusts.
For a blind person, this means someone trustworthy.
I had already cooked a lot of dishes for Su Yu when we were in Danzhou.
Now that we live here, it's the same.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Fei Jie exclaimed that the five adults were excellent.
Then his eyes lit up as he saw that the dishes he had ordered had been cooked.
Oh, there's Mapo Tofu.
So he picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
He revealed a satisfied yet lewd smile.
Su Yu smiled and began to eat as well.
The two drank and ate food while chatting casually.
Before we knew it, the night had grown a little darker.
Fei Jie shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth and then picked up a few more bites of vegetables.
He ate while talking to Su Yu.
It was getting late, and I was feeling a bit lazy, so I decided not to go back to the Supervisory Council.
