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

"Another quest line?"

Liu Mei really didn't expect this, so she hurriedly asked: "What is the mission line?"

"Professional mission line."

Ouch, this is really tall!

Liu Mei paid attention to Sister Feng's performance earlier, and always felt that Sister Feng was probably completing the task of fighting in the house or making money, but she didn't expect that Sister Feng's quest line was actually this.

That's right, the back house has a strict hierarchy, generations of daughters-in-law slowly work their way up, and the personnel affairs are complicated; and opening restaurants and doing business outside is also full of risks-this is really similar to the workplace.

Thinking about it carefully, Sister Feng had asked Zijuan for a question last time, but she had been refraining from mentioning the matter of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, until today she brought Mrs. Jia over here, presumably she had already planned everything.Today, Sister Feng's performance is also very remarkable. Not only did she get the benefits she wanted, she made a head start for the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and she also took care of Mrs. Wang's face. Thank you for the matter of Hongshun Tower yesterday - Sister Feng has done all of these exquisitely and handily.

In contrast, Liu Mei began to feel that her great career of "eating, eating, and eating" seemed a little smaller.

"Is Wang Xifeng a time traveler like me, or is he reborn from the original owner!" Liu Mei asked the system consciously.

"you guess--"

I guess? !

Liu Mei rubbed the center of her brows, still a little unwilling to give up, and asked again.

"Then, does Sister Feng also have a portable system like yours?"

"You are so idle!"

The system honestly gave her a three-character test.

Liu Mei thought to herself: Are you looking for a draw?

"Bold!" The system immediately popped out two words.

Liu Mei Fu forehead: With such a system that can read her mind at any time, can we still have a good chat?

She couldn't help but think of the prototype of the system, Prince Zhongshun Shiqing, that person didn't look like he could chat.She was thinking about it, but she couldn't help shivering - such a vicious character... She didn't rush to avoid Yiyuan, but she still wanted to chat?

Liu Mei hurriedly found an opportunity, secretly returned the food box, and slipped back to the Grand View Garden.

Back at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu was sitting alone in the room reading a book.But Zicuckoo actually brewed a cup of tea and gave it to Liu Mei, "I heard that this is the tea from Siam's tribute, the girl said yes, you can try it."

Liu Mei hurriedly thanked her, and looked down, and saw that the tea color was not any common tea, it was between black tea and white tea, it was not the bright and full red color of black tea, nor was it refreshing and slightly too few like white tea. Light pale yellow.

After taking a big sip, Liu Mei nodded and praised: "It tastes good...it really quenches your thirst!"

Zijuan smiled when she saw her drinking.

They were drinking tea outside when they heard Daiyu sigh in the room.

The smile on Zicuckoo's face immediately faded away, her brows became a little sad, and she pulled her eyebrows and said quietly: "After the old lady left, the girl has been sighing and saying that what happened today will affect the reputation of the two wives, and it will also hurt the reputation of the two wives. It was not her wish to order the servants in the mansion to be punished."

After hearing this, Liu Mei thought: This matter is obviously the big kitchen's own death, and I can't blame others; what's more, Jiamu came to the garden to see Daiyu on a whim, and Daiyu didn't say it by herself.However, Daiyu is sensitive by nature, so she would naturally think so.

But after thinking about it again, it is not impossible for Mrs. Wang and others to secretly blame Daiyu for this matter.

The twists and turns of this inner house are so complicated, and it seems that Liu Mei is the one who is naturally dull and can't play house fights - thinking of this, Liu Mei couldn't help but sighed along with her.

"Mei'er, why don't you go talk to the girl?" Zijuan poked Liu Mei.

"Me?" Liu Mei was surprised.

"Yes, the girl said that although you are young, you don't look like a layman."

Now Liu Mei was even more flattered, she looked around and saw that there was nothing impolite, so she went to Daiyu's study.

She had never been to Daiyu's study room before, but she was really surprised when she came in this time. She saw the whole wall of bookshelves filled with books. less than.Surprised, Liu Mei stared at the spines of the books on the shelf one by one.Most of the books on the shelf are titles she has never heard of, and they are probably rare ancient books, which are very precious.

Daiyu was slightly surprised, and raised her voice to ask, "Mei'er, can you read?"

Liu Mei was suddenly embarrassed, so she had to say: "I only recognize a few, it's not that I'm blind!"

"Well, if you want to find a book to read, you can come to me." Daiyu readily invited Liu Mei, "Last time you mentioned the rice oil to Xueyan, I checked the book, it is really something recorded in the ancient recipe I vaguely feel that you must be not simple."

Liu Mei became happy, "Then... thank you Miss Lin!"

At this time, Daiyu also walked up to Liu Mei, raised her face slightly, looked at the stack of books, and said with a smile: "The ancients said that there is a house of gold in the book!"

Liu Mei asked casually: "Miss Lin, is there really a golden house in the book?"

Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help chuckling, took a handkerchief to rest her hands on, and randomly pulled out a copy from the shelf, and showed it to Liu Mei: "This is an engraving from the Song Dynasty, but now it's a lonely copy. The market price is probably hundreds of gold!"

Liu Mei was speechless immediately: She never expected that such a thin and rare book would be so expensive.Calculated in this way, the value of this wall full of books must be even more astonishing.

She even remembered that it is said that the Lin family in Gusu has accumulated so many precious ancient books for several generations of scholars.So is it true that the wealth left by Mrs. and Mrs. Lin to their only daughter is actually the books that Daiyu brought with her to Beijing?

But Daiyu said with a smile: "However, the real value of these books is that you have read them, and they are yours—they cannot be burned by fire, nor can they be destroyed by water, and no one can take them away from your heart." Go. Even if you are alone in a foreign land in the future, when you have no relatives and friends to accompany you, you can still watch your heart: with them, you will not be alone."

Liu Mei lowered her head, chewed Daiyu's words carefully, and felt a sense of warmth for no reason: Ever since she came into this world alone, she has been lost in loneliness, drifting with the tide, without knowing the direction.Apart from working hard to improve her cooking skills to complete the tasks that come one after another, she doesn't even know where the goal of life should be; however, compared with others, she always feels that her structure is so small and so small. It pales in comparison.

But Daiyu, at this moment, stood in front of her like an old friend and relative whom she hadn't seen for many years, which made her feel like she had countless accumulated depressions and wanted to confide, and there were countless questions she wanted to ask.But, at this moment, she couldn't say a word.

Liu Mei had countless things to say, but didn't know how to express them, which made Daiyu notice her.Daiyu laughed and said, "Mei'er, I heard Zijuan and the others talk about your behavior... You are very good!"

After saying that, Daiyu turned around and went back to the desk, saying: "An exquisite thing can move people. From my point of view, you really like the cooking, so it's so exquisite. So, don't think too much, You can achieve something if you put your mind to it.”

At this time, Zijuan came in with another big maid, and said to Daiyu, "Girl, Jin Chuan, who is next to the second wife, is here to see you!"

Liu Mei had listened to Daiyu's words earlier, and she was in a daze at the side, when she saw Jin Chuan come in and salute Daiyu.

That Jin Chuan was as tall as Zijuan, and she was wearing a gauze shirt and skirt as standard for a maidservant.Compared with Zicuckoo, Jin Chuan's makeup is more refined, she wears more jewelry, and the rouge on her lips is also very bright.

"Our wife said that the kitchen neglected the girl before. Although the wife didn't know about it, she was really sorry. This is the top-grade golden blood swallow that the wife got before, and a pack of cleansing powder, plum slices, snowflakes and foreign sugar. If you give it to the girl to nourish her body, please accept it!"

Daiyu hurriedly got up to decline, but Jin Chuan came up and pressed her on the chair, and begged with a smile: "If the girl refuses again, how can I tell my wife?"

Daiyu had no choice but to accept it, and ordered Zijuan to take out a small silver key and give it to Jin Chuan, but ordered Jin Chuan to buy some rouge powder for use.

Zijuan turned around when she was young, and pulled Liu Mei to unpack the package of blood swallows sent by Mrs. Wang.

"This is really the first-class blood-swallow swallow cup!" Liu Mei knew the goods, "The sugar is also the first-class good sugar, which is better than the one used in the kitchen in the house."

Mrs. Wang's move will definitely be passed on to Jia's mother.In this way, Mrs. Wang not only showed her favor to Daiyu, but also went back and forth to please Jia Mu. Why not do two things with one stone?

Bird's nest is originally a food for nourishing yin and nourishing the lungs, so it is very suitable for Daiyu to take it after boiling.From this point of view, Liu Mei couldn't care what Madam Wang's intentions were.After checking that there is no problem with the bird's nest, Liu Mei immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, "Sister Zijuan, come, let's boil this blood swallow."

Xueyan was passing by, and without knowing it, she went in, said "ah", and asked, "what are you calling me for?"

There was laughter in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and even Daiyu couldn't help laughing, holding a handkerchief and laughing with Zijuan.

Liu Mei hurriedly soaked the blood swallow in warm water, after soaking the hair, carefully picked out the impurities one by one to wash, then took the small silver Choshi specially used for snow geese, filled the water again, added the blood swallow and snowflakes For foreign sugar, first boil it with a strong fire, and then boil it carefully with a slow fire.

Liu Mei sat in front of Xiaoyin Chozi, slowly watching the blood swallow in the porridge turn transparent little by little, and then turned into jelly, gradually merging with the porridge water.But the bright red silk in the bird's nest remains the same, and the silk is distinct.Liu Mei knew that Mrs. Wang's response was a waste of money, and this blood swallow was indeed top-grade, and it could not be faked.

And she, just sitting alone, cooking the small bird's nest porridge with rock sugar in front of her, felt a peace and stability in her heart that she had never felt before.

The author has something to say: Today is the beginning of summer, I want to eat the newly planted broad beans...
