[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

--What?

Liu Mei responded to the system in her consciousness in surprise.

"The new task is—to find an apprentice?"

The Shiqing system is used to seeing Liu Mei's startled and flicked, and replied very calmly: "That's true. After all, you are already a senior cook, and it is impossible for you to do everything by yourself. Find an apprentice and teach him / With her basic cooking skills and one or two dishes that can be done well, you will be rewarded by the system, the upgrade process will be accelerated, and you will be able to get system reminders for subsequent important events."

Liu Mei quit now, she planned to ask clearly: "What is the system reward for me?"

"Your fresh-keeping space will be doubled, and it can be divided to store the ingredients you want to store at different temperatures."

This sounds...very good!

Liu Mei thought secretly.

But she can't just agree to Shiqing so quickly: "To be honest, at my level, a senior cook, I don't think it's much more advanced than a junior cook at the previous level! Can you tell me that the entire upgrade path may What will it be?"

"Since you have been promoted to a senior cook, the future upgrade path is basically determined."

"Previously you were promoted from level 0 nameless servant to level 1 second-class maid, then level 2 junior cook, and now you have been promoted to level 3, senior cook," the system recalled leisurely, "level 4 He is the executive chef, equivalent to the position of Chef Shao in Hongshun Building, or Xie Xiaochuan."

After hearing this, Liu Mei felt that she was not as good as Lao Shao and Xie Xiaochuan——no, no, no, I have to be promoted to that position.

"Level 5 is the master chef, and you need to follow the court route."

Liu Mei imagined her in court style out of thin air...it seemed a bit inappropriate.

"Level 6 is the last level. If you reach level 6, you can become the author of the sequel," Shiqing said this final stage without any ups and downs.

Liu Mei almost knelt down—why there is...the author of the sequel?

"That's true. As the author of the sequel, you can correct all the descriptions about diet in the next forty chapters of the sequel."

The back of Liu Mei's head was dripping with sweat, but it was good to think about it, if she could rise to level 6, sister Lin wouldn't have to eat ham and cabbage soup with rice porridge and kohlrabi.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Mei thought of this, and suddenly remembered something, "You mean, the author of the continuation book...so this world of Red Mansions was not created based on the hundred and twenty chapters we saw in later generations, right?"

"Of course not!" The system replied in the affirmative.

"Then... the endings of the big guys are all open?" Liu Mei was a little excited: If that is the case, it means that there are still many variables in the fate of the people in the Red Chamber. In the world, there will be great things to do, great things to do!

"It's not open either!" The system categorically denied Liu Mei's conjecture, and replied: "Everyone has his or her own destiny, and everyone's ending has its basis. In fact, this world has already given you a hint, and You've been aware of it too...but you just can't remember it."

Already tipped me off? ——Liu Mei lowered her head to think.

"Don't bother thinking about it, you only remember the incident of 'Bidong' when you were in Red Sandalwood Castle that day!"

Hearing what the system said, Liu brows blushed. Of course she remembered a lot, she still remembered the pickled civet - but if there was some kind of reminder from the world of red chambers, she would really Caught blind.

"Of course, your primary goal is to complete the task of 'eating all over the Red Mansion'. No matter what level you are, as long as you can taste all the dishes of the Red Mansion, you can immediately return to your original world."

Liu Mei let out an "oh", and lowered her head to figure out who should be her apprentice.

"Anyone who has a basic cooking skill is not allowed. Anyone who has learned one or two tricks from you before is not allowed." As soon as the system opened his mouth, there were two "not at all".

Liu Mei was very depressed. The candidates she originally thought of included: Zicuckoo and Snow Goose—they were immediately rejected by the system: You taught them to cook rice juice before.

So the lotus is gone? ——System: Of course not, you taught her to beat eggs before.

What about Chef Shao and "inexperienced"? ——System: What do you think?

……

Liu Mei became anxious, "Then you give me an opinion, who should I turn to, and who can I turn to?"

However, the Shiqing System spoke sincerely: "Liu Mei, you have to think carefully, what you have taught her may bring a sliver of hope and hope to her fate."

... This will be what you want to see, Liu Mei!

Only this last sentence, Shiqing did not say it.

Two days later, Mother Liu came into the garden to see her daughter.

She went to the small kitchen first, and seeing Liu Mei moved all the bedding and other things into the small kitchen, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Mei'er, you should give in to your sister anyway. Although she is older than you, is it her first time to work in the mansion?"

Liu Mei: "Mom, I let my sister let me go, so I moved out."

Mother Liu became even more depressed when she heard this, but she couldn't say anything about Liu Mei, so she had to go to Yihong Courtyard to see Wu'er.

Unexpectedly, before mother Liu arrived at the gate of Yihong Courtyard, she saw Fangguan first and flew out like a flower and butterfly—"Aunt Liu!"

When Fangguan saw Liu's mother, it was like seeing his own mother.

"Aunt Liu, you have been in the garden for so many days, why don't you have the time to come and see us?" Fang Guan was innocent, shaking Mother Liu's arm, "I really miss the rouge goose breast you made. think."

"Okay!" Mother Liu was as happy when she saw Fang Guan as she was when she saw Liu Mei and Wuer, "Auntie will do it for you guys!"

Liu Mei heard it from behind, and silently planned to prepare the materials.

Mother Liu looked at Fang Guan at this time, "Why are you dressed like this?"

I saw that Fangguan did not comb her hair like Liu Mei and the others, but shaved off the short hair around the temples, exposing the scalp, and braided her hair into a small braid according to the men's hair style, hanging behind her head.The clothes on her body were also men's style, with trouser legs scattered and platform shoes.

"Second Master Bao ordered it! Aunt Liu, do you think I look good?" Fang Guan pulled the corner of his clothes and walked around in front of Mother Liu.

Liu has sharp eyebrows and eyes, and recognizes that this dress was worn by Baoyu when she was still small in her early years. She just didn't expect that Baoyu doted on Fangguan so much that she took out her own clothes for Fangguan to wear.

Mother Liu was embarrassed: "Why do you look like a little native?"

It seems that Mother Liu's aesthetics has not kept up with the pace of the times.

Fang Guan nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, just pretending to be the little local fan next to Second Master Bao! Second Master also ordered me to change my boy's name to 'Yeluxiongnu'!"

She pulled Mother Liu and chattered another bag of words.

Liu Mei followed her mother boredly and waited.Fangguan hadn't finished speaking with Mother Liu when she saw Liu Wu'er and Bihen walking out of the yard together, shoulder to shoulder.

When Liu Wu'er raised her eyes, she obviously saw her mother and Fang Guan talking affectionately, and then she saw Liu Mei following behind the two of them.

Wu'er smiled at Liu Mei, looked at Fangguan whose back was facing her, and followed Bihen, and the two of them turned from the gate of Yihong Courtyard together and went elsewhere.

Liu Mei let out an "ah", she thought to herself, her mother came to see Wu'er anyway, so why did she talk so much to Fang Guan?

She recalled Wu'er's smile again, and her intimate manner with Bihen, for some reason, Liu Mei suddenly felt a little chill in her heart.

However, having said that, when Mother Liu met Fang Guan, she really forgot about Wu'er. After the two of them finished talking, Mother Liu hurried back to the small kitchen and frantically took two goose breasts. , I want to make rouge goose breast for Fangguan to eat.

Liu Mei hurriedly vacated the space to satisfy her mother's wish - she saw Liu's mother making the rouge goose breast while humming a little tune to herself, the tune of the little tune sounded familiar, and Liu Mei knew that it was her mother's job in Pear Fragrance Garden When I was young, I got along with Fangguan and the others every day, and learned.

Liu Mei naturally knows that her mother really loves Fang Guan, and she doesn't care about it, just because Fang Guan's youthful atmosphere can remind Liu Mu of her youthful days.

And Fangguan is indeed cute, she is handsome, innocent, honest, can laugh, cry, can't fake, and can't do any other jobs... But isn't it always like this when people are young?Probably this is what attracted Baoyu, so Baoyu was so interested in Fangguan.

Mother Liu finished the rouge goose breast, but she was also anxious to go back to the big kitchen outside, and solemnly entrusted the goose breast to Liu Mei, asking her to deliver it to Fang Guan, Ou Guan and others.

Naturally, Liu Mei would not disobey her mother's will, put the finished goose breast in a food box and took it to Yihong Courtyard, and gave it to Fangguan.

This happened to be seen by Liu Wu'er, so he came over to say hello: "Mei'er, what good thing? Tete left it for Fang Guan?"

Liu Mei answered, and Liu Wu'er smiled straight at Liu Mei: "I didn't expect you to be so stupid? Mother specially made this for Fang Guan and the others, so why don't you persuade her? Is there any use?"

Liu Mei: Hehe, I have done everything.

"Sister, don't forget, without Fang Guan, you would not be able to enter this garden." Liu Mei reminded Liu Wu'er.

Liu Wu'er's complexion turned gloomy, she stared at Liu Mei without saying a word, after a long while, she lowered her head, and the embroidered shoes on her feet rubbed against the ground.

"Just wait!"

Liu Wu'er left such a sentence, turned around and left.

On the contrary, Fang Guan rushed out at this time, and took the food box in Liu Mei's hand when he came up, "Goose breast, the goose breast that my aunt made for me..."

She leaned her head to look at the rouge-red goose breast inside, and smiled like a flower blooming in spring.

However, the next time Liu Mei saw Fang Guan, Fang Guan cried uncontrollably.

"Mei'er, is Aunt Liu there?" Fang Guan cried like a tearful man, and knocked on the door of the small kitchen.

"Hey, what a lady Yingying, how did she become a torture matchmaker?" A woman in the small kitchen opened the door. She knew Fangguan's godmother very well.

Fangguan cried loudly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Liu Mei stopped Fang Guan.

Fangguan only thought that Mother Liu would come over soon, so he stayed in the small kitchen for a while.

Liu Mei casually pointed to a small scorpion on the ground, and asked Fang Guan to sit down.

After Fangguan sat down, thinking of the things that happened in Yihong Courtyard, he couldn't help feeling wronged again, immediately lowered his head, hugged his knees, and started to cry again.

After a while, suddenly, Fang Guan stuffed a bowl in his hand, and a burst of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance penetrated his nose into his lungs. The bowl contained a few lotus seeds, a few red dates, and it was a bowl of sweet soup.

Fang Guan looked up at Liu Mei with tears in his eyes, but Liu Mei was still busy, commanding this servant and that woman, and then replied Fang Guan abruptly: "Eat! When your stomach is better, your heart will slowly turn around." -"

Baoyu's words to comfort her back then were moved by her to comfort the young and inexperienced Fangguan.

"Oh!" Fang Guan took a few sips of the sweet soup, and finally couldn't help crying again, "Why did she treat me like that when I treated her like this?"

Liu Mei sighed in her heart, she knew something about Fangguan's temperament, when others treated her harshly and humiliated her, this girl Shijiu would fight back vigorously and fight back without hesitation - only those who are on good terms with her, she trusts Only those people, even the ones she helped, put her behind her back, which made her sad and doubt life like this.

Liu Mei was really impatient with her crying, walked up to Fang Guan, handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face, and then asked Fang Guan: "Is the sweet soup delicious?"

Fang Guan nodded, but he grinned and wanted to cry, when Liu Mei suddenly asked in his ear: "Are you... willing to learn how to cook with me?"
