Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Wen Yao was stunned for a moment, he was asking her to cook.

Seeing Wen Yao's brows frowning, the mother-in-law immediately said, "Don't worry, girl, I won't let the girl do it in vain."

Wen Yao didn't think it was in vain. The 200 taels given by Xie's family last time was actually quite a lot. Forget it, it was just a meal anyway. What if the old lady didn't even eat what she cooked?

When the carriage arrived at Xie's house, it did not stop at the door. Instead, it entered the house directly through the side door. The mother-in-law helped Wen Yao get out of the carriage and gave instructions to the little maid beside her.

The little maid ran away, and the mother-in-law slowly followed with Wen Yao.

It was still the same road as last time, but when it reached a fork in the road, it took a turn, this time heading towards the backyard.

When I saw Qiu Rongrong again, compared to the last time, Qiu Rongrong's outfit this time was much simpler. Without the cumbersomeness last time, Qiu Rongrong now made people feel smart and capable.

She just sat casually on the couch, with a charcoal pot next to her, making the room very warm.

"Madam, Miss Wen is here." The woman stepped forward and saluted. Wen Yao looked at Qiu Rongrong, smiled slightly and nodded, neither humble nor arrogant. Anyway, she was not a servant of the Xie family.

Qiu Rongrong glanced at her and pointed to the other side of her soft body: "Miss Wen, please sit down."

Wen Yao thanked her, sat down, and asked directly: "Madam, are you looking for me?"

In Qiu Rongrong's opinion, Wen Yao was just a ten-year-old girl, not even a few years older than her own son. However, she also sent someone to find out that the cook who was suddenly famous in the countryside was a ten-year-old girl. girl.

Wen's family, ten years old, she thought of this family at that time, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Qiu Rongrong stared at Wen Yao for a while, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect it was really you."

"What?" Wen Yao tilted her head and looked at her with a puzzled look on her face.

Seeing Wen Yao's stunned look, Qiu Rongrong smiled again and said lazily: "The old lady has a bad appetite recently and won't eat. I searched all the cooks and she felt that she had no appetite. The doctor also said I can’t see any way.”

I don’t know if it was Wen Yao’s misunderstanding, but I always felt that the smile on the corner of Qiu Rongrong’s mouth was slightly mocking when she said this.

Thinking of what happened with the carriage last time, Wen Yao suddenly smelled the smell of melon, and her eyebrows flew up.

Qiu Rongrong saw her reaction in his eyes and didn't say anything. He just continued: "A few days ago, a servant from the mansion went home to visit relatives and had a banquet. When he came back, he said that the chef's cooking skills were comparable to those in a restaurant, so I asked someone to inquire about it, but I didn’t expect it to be you.”

Wen Yao finally understood after hearing this. She wanted her to cook a meal and see if the old lady would eat it?

"So, Madam, you want me to cook a meal for the old lady?" Wen Yao pointed at herself and said.

Qiu Rongrong nodded: "Yes, don't worry, I won't let you do it in vain. No matter whether the old lady eats or not, there will be five taels of silver. If the old lady's anorexia problem is really solved, there will be an extra reward, little girl. can you?"

Wen Yao's eyes lit up when he heard the five taels of silver. It was just a meal anyway, so there was nothing rare about it. If Mrs. Xie happened to like it and she liked to eat, that would be even better, and there would be extra reward.

"If it works, let's try it first. By the way, does the old lady have any taboos or dislikes when eating?" Wen Yao asked.

Qiu Rongrong glanced at the old lady who had just brought Wen Yao in. The old lady immediately stepped forward and said, "The old lady is old and likes light food and sweets. And because her teeth are not good, the food she eats must be mainly soft and glutinous. .”

Wen Yao nodded, that's it.

"Then Madam, will you lend me the kitchen?" Wen Yao was [-]% sure, not to mention confident.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Rongrong opened her mouth, as if she had something to say.

Wen Yao thought for a moment and boldly asked, "Does Madam have anything else to tell me?"

This is what Wen Yao guessed. After all, she had a good impression of Mrs. Xie from the beginning. Although she was a little unhappy last time, after getting along with her today, Mrs. He was polite and did not act condescending because of his and her awareness.

Qiu Rongrong smiled bitterly and said: "I thought you were young and inexperienced in the world, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hide it from you. There is no one else here. Let me tell you the truth.

Maybe the old lady deliberately made things difficult for me, so no matter what you do, whether she eats or not, I will pay you. But I don’t want you to think that you are not good at cooking, so I will tell you in advance.

Of course, it's possible that she is really uncomfortable. "

It's just that the probability in the end is not too high. After all, it's not like he has deliberately made things difficult like this before.

When she married into the Xie family as a stepmother, the Xie family thought she was marrying high, and they suppressed her in every way. In previous years, things were better, but now that the Xie family's own industry is in a slump, as the head wife, she can only use her own money. Money subsidy.

But they spent her money but looked down on her. What kind of truth was this? Even though she was unhappy, she had to brace herself up to deal with them for the sake of her son.

This time the old lady was struggling for half a month, just because she had told her before that she would use money to support her family members during the Chinese New Year. Although she agreed, the money she gave was half of what the old lady proposed. The wife took the money but felt uncomfortable. She felt that she was deliberately losing face, so she went through all kinds of troubles.

Wen Yao was different from those cooks. Those cooks were paid to work. If they did well, they would keep them, but if they didn't, they would be sent away. But Wen Yao was Yi'er's savior, and Qiu Rongrong didn't want to wrong her, so she told the truth. , so that Wen Yao can be mentally prepared.

Although Wen Yao didn't know the twists and turns, but he knew what Qiu Rongrong said. There were really a lot of intrigues in the back houses of ancient people.

Seeing her frown, Wen Yao comforted her and said, "There's no need to worry, madam. Leave it to me. Don't worry." After saying that, he winked at her and cast a look.

Qiu Rongrong was immediately amused by her playful appearance, and the depression in her heart was slightly relieved, and she said: "I'm really sorry for what happened last time. I didn't mean to send you away with money. This was not my original intention. Please Girl, don’t blame me for this.”

It's good to spend the money. They wish they could spend more time, but Wen Yao definitely couldn't say that in terms of face. She grinned like a smile that she thought a ten-year-old girl should have and said:

"Hey, it's okay. I also want to thank Madam. With the money Madam gave me, my family has now bought land, built a house, and even bought a cow. It's our turn to thank Madam."
