Chapter 664 Honey, Don't Be Too Coquettish
Seeing the expression on Essie's face, Mary felt very comfortable. She felt that she had hit the nail on the head and made the other party unable to fight back. She smiled and left.
Zac held her in his arms and said, "It doesn't matter. The whole lambs' feast is not bad. Dad will like it."
Shrugging her shoulders, Essie looked calm. If Mary wanted to fight her to the death, she would accompany her!
This birthday party, instead of using the dessert master of the Rong Mansion, Essie had booked it from the pastry shop of the Qi family. In order to prepare the dessert for the birthday party of the Rong family, Percy cancelled all the other orders and personally took her chefs to make the desserts.
The second day, before dawn, the desserts from Qi's shop were delivered. Not long after their car left, a huge refrigerated truck arrived in front of the iron gate of the Rong Mansion, followed by a bus. They came from Jiang City.
There were cows for the full cow banquet in the refrigerator truck, and a famous chef team from the old shop of the Yi family was in the car. The leader of the team was the fifty-third generation successor of the time-horned shop of the Yi family, and the uncle of Essie, Benson.
Essie was waiting at the gate.
"Uncle." She smiled at Benson.
"My little niece, I'll take care of the whole cow feast today," Benson said with a smile. His niece had become the hostess of the Rong Mansion. As a member of the family, of course the Yi family had to cheer her up.
"Thank you, uncle." Essie nodded.
Therefore, the big kitchen prepared to make the full beef banquet in the Rong Mansion was taken over by the chef team of the Yi family. Essie asked the chefs who were supposed to be in charge to be the helpers of the full, formal banquet in the evening.
At this time, Alena and Abel were appreciating the desserts sent by the Qi family's shop, including the various dessert in shapes of immortal figures related to Chinese tales.
"It's so exquisite. The name is also festive," Alena praised with a smile.
"Yeah, it's really good." Abel nodded.
With a gentle smile, Essie said, "Grandpa, grandma, you don't know that the dessert shop of Qi family has a deep relationship with the time-horned shop of our Yi family."
"Oh?" Alena smiled and said, "Tell me."
"The ancestors of the Qi clan and the Yi clan are not only the imperial cooks, but also colleagues. They are all cooking in the imperial dining room of the emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The patriarch of the Qi clan is in charge of the staple dishes, while our Yi family is in charge of the red board. Every time there was an imperial banquet, the desserts of the Qi clan will match the dishes of the Yi clan. They are a perfect match! " Essie said with a slight smile.
"Then we will have a good meal today," Abel said with a smile.
The banquet halls of the Rong Mansion was large and was specially used to entertain guests. At eleven o'clock, the guests came one after another. The Rong family only held a birthday party for the master of the family, and the whole life of Abel and Alena. Others' birthday were just family gathering.
Lucy came with Bob, Baron came with his son, Holy. They were all came in the name of the family of the new hostess of the Rong family. Essie took the children to meet their parents, and Zac went to
Baron's side to avoid losing balance.
Looking at the harmonious family, Baron felt a little sad. Especially when she heard that the baby in Essie's belly had to follow the surname of Bob Yi after birth, he felt even worse. She used to be his favorite little daughter, but now she only called another man father, and
she was so strange and alienated from him.
"Your uncle is busy in the kitchen. Your mother and I will go in and say hello to him," Bob said. Benson came from Jiang City directly and hadn't met his brother and sister-in-law yet.
Essie nodded, asked the servant to take them to the kitchen, and then took the children to Baron.
"Mr. Baron, you are a rare guest," she greeted him with a smile.
"I'm a regular guest, not a rare guest." Baron smiled, trying to hide his disappointment. After so long, his daughter still didn't want to call him father. She called Bob father intimately just now. People who didn't know them would think that they were related by blood.
The three kids held Holy's hands and said, "Uncle, let's play games."
"Okay." Holy nodded, took out the game console from his pocket, and took them to sit aside. The three of them played 'boss' online.
Baron looked at Essie and asked, "Has your mother-in-law made things difficult for you recently?"
"It's okay. I can handle it with the help of my wise and powerful father-in-law," Essie said with a faint smile.
Baron nodded slightly. Now that his daughter had become the hostess, Mary should not have any big trouble. He swallowed and lowered his voice, "I heard that you are going to let the baby have the
surname of Yi family. Does the Rong family agree?"
"I'm the only daughter of my father. He has loved me since I was a child. It's natural for me to let a child inherit his surname. The father-in-law and the old patriarch were also very open-minded. Originally, the surname of Dot and Mili was Yi. Considering that they were the eldest grandson and the eldest granddaughter of the family, they changed their surname to Rong. So my father-in-law also said that we can decide the surname of the other children later," Essie said slowly. In fact, she knew the meaning of Baron's question, but she pretended not to know.
"Don't you really take yourself as the daughter of the Xu family?" Baron frowned slightly.
"The Xu family has always valued boys, not girls. It doesn't matter whether I am belong to the family or not." A bitter smile appeared on Essie's face. Vicki, who preferred boys to girls, had never been nice to her and her sister since she was born.
"In my heart, daughters and sons are the same," Baron said seriously.
"Can you make the decision?" There was a sneer on Essie's face. Vicki was seriously ill with queen's disease and always control behind the scene at home. Her words were the imperial edict. How dare Baron go against it?
Baron felt a little guilty. As the head of the Xu family, he was not as good as an ordinary like Bob. He could protect his wife and daughter, but he couldn't.
"Daddy didn't protect you well before. Now you can give me a chance to make up, okay?"
"It's enough for you to protect Holy. I have Zac." Hearing that, Essie shrugged her shoulders. Not all her feelings could be compensated. He had missed the time when she needed her father most.
Baron sighed heavily. He didn't say anything when he saw Lucy and Bob come back.
At twelve o'clock, the banquet began on time. The Yi family held a full cow banquet, which was made of milk yaks from the snowy mountain in the pure and pollution-free area of the plateau. The meat was fresh and soft, and with the excellent knife work and cooking method of the Yi family, it was extremely delicious, and the taste was immediately melted.
The guests were all full of praise. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"The Rong family is indeed the biggest family in the East. The banquet was incomparable." A guest gave a thumbs up.
"What you don't know is that the ancestors of the Qi clan and the Yi clan who make desserts and the whole cow banquet are both Royal chefs of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Today, the fifty- third generation of the two clans is a perfect match of their staple dishes and the red board. They wish Mr. Elbert a happy birthday and bring the banquet of Emperor Qianlong back to the world. We are really lucky this time," the guest said.
Not far away, hearing this, Zac lowered his head and whispered in the ear of Essie, "Honey, are the Yi family and Qi family the Royal chefs of the same dynasty?"
Raising her eyebrows proudly, Essie said, "I'm not making up a story. There is a record of the cookbook of the court passed down from our ancestors."
Raising the tip of her chin, Zac said, "Your way of advertisement is really good." If she hadn't leaked the news secretly, the guests wouldn't have known the background of the chefs so soon.
With her long thick eyelashes blinking, Essie said with a cunning light, "Emperor Qianlong is the luckiest one among the emperors. I'll let you know that today's birthday party is the same as Emperor Qianlong's. I want you to see that the leader of our family is as lucky as Emperor Qianlong."
"That's really a good idea." Zac smiled. He knew that the birthday party made by this quirky idiot would be different.
"As the hostess of the family, of course, she has to make great progress step by step. How could she follow suit?" Essie shook her head complacently.
"Honey, be humble." Zac stroked her head dotingly. She pouted, "In front of you, I always show my true color, not like you, hiding so deeply that I can't understand."
"Which part that you can't understand? Let me explain to you." Zac smiled playfully.
"Your heart," Essie said in a low voice.
Zac couldn't help frowning. "How can you still don't understand. Is this head wrinkled in some ways?" There was a bit of anger in his tone, as if his enthusiasm was in vain.
Essie lowered her head. For so long, he hadn't even said 'I love you' to her. Although she felt that he loved her, she still wanted to hear him express it personally.
"Anyway, I have to guess everything when I'm with you. You know that I'm a fool and I'm not good at guessing, but you still let me guess," she muttered in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself, but Zac still heard it clearly. "Which thing did you guess?"
"That is..." Hearing that, Essie swallowed her saliva and blushed. What could she say? The three words were full of love, and naturally revealed. If she forced them out, they would not be sincere.
"What is it?" Zac held her chin and asked.
"We should be honest with each other in the future. We can't hide anything from each other." Essie swallowed what she was going to say and changed it to a perfunctory sentence. She knew how domineering the big devil was. If she didn't tell him the reason, he would force her to the end.
With a smile on his face, Zac said, "Women are really woolgathering when they are pregnant. I'm almost invisible in front of you. What else can I hide from you? "
How could it be transparent? His heart was hidden deeply! Essie muttered to herself and lowered her head to eat without saying anything.
On the birthday table, seeing the satisfied expressions on the faces of the elders of the Rong family and Albert, Mary went crazy. This little tramp had stabbed her again in the dark, hateful, so hateful!
