Chapter 208: Testing You
"Sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?" Qiao Xihe was very educated, so as to bring out how shrewd Pei Huiping was.
There are so many people in the Pei family's old mansion, although they are all their own people, maybe many people have seen her pungent and rude appearance, but ...... Most people have a curious, gossipy heart, and they always watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, so it doesn't hurt to take a look at it again.
"You come with me, calling you to come to the old mansion today, but it doesn't make you lie down comfortably. Pei Huiping walked to the kitchen, "You are the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, you should have the appearance of being a daughter-in-law and know your duty." Today, there will be guests coming over at home, so you go to Zhang Luo to test whether you have the ability to hold the old man's birthday party. ”
Halfway down the road, she suddenly stopped.
"Qiao Xihe, I give you a word of advice, if you don't have that ability, just say it as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass the Pei family at that time. ”
Qiao Xihe smiled calmly, "I know." ”
Pei Huiping stopped at the kitchen door, "You go and get busy, we are all waiting for your results." ”
"I see. Qiao Xihe walked into the kitchen.
I thought that many people were already busy for dinner, but it turned out that there were only two handymen in their fifties in the kitchen, who were bored and choosing dishes.
"Guests arrive at five o'clock and dinner starts at six o'clock. Pei Huiping waved her hand triumphantly, "I look forward to your results." After speaking, she turned around and left, returned to the living room to watch TV, eat fruit, and chat with Lu Xiwen.
Qiao Xihe looked at the two handymen and asked, "Do you know what kind of guests come at night, what are their tastes, and what do the old men like to eat?"
The two handymen looked at each other, then shook their heads.
One of them said, "We don't know about that. ”
Qiao Xihe "chuckled" in his heart, "That...... Chef, where have they gone?"
The handyman said: "They are all on vacation today. ”
Sure enough, Pei Huiping did it on purpose, and Qiao Xihe pinched her eyebrows with a headache.
didn't know who the guests were, and there was no menu, so she just closed her eyes and did it blindly, giving Pei Huiping the opportunity to trouble her to the fullest.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Mother Yang walked into the kitchen and said with a smile: "Young lady, can I help you prepare dinner?"
"Eh?" Qiao Xihe was puzzled, to say that in this house, there are no people who are familiar with him at all, although Yang Ma helped him a little before, but now she came over for no reason......
She was vigilant, maybe it was arranged by Pei Huiping and Lu Xiwen, to give her a sweet date first, and then do things after gaining her trust.
Qiao Xihe said: "How can this be embarrassing?"
"It's okay, you're the young master's wife. Mother Yang was still smiling, unhurriedly took out her mobile phone, and called up the call record to Qiao Xihe to see, "It's the young master who asked me." ”
Qiao Xihe looked at it, the latest call record was more than an hour ago, more than three minutes, and it was Pei Tingyuan who called.
She breathed a sigh of relief, with a little apology, and smiled: "Thank you, Mother Yang." ”
Mother Yang said: "It's okay, it should be." She rolled up her sleeves as she said, "The people who came over in the evening are Mrs. Jiang's friends, all of whom are rich wives. They have already been to the old mansion as guests, so I know what they like to eat, the taste of the old man, and there is no one in this mansion who knows better than me. Young lady, you can rest assured. ”
"Uh-huh. Qiao Xihe is full of confidence in tonight's test.
Mother Yang first wrote a menu, and then took out the ingredients from the refrigerator with Qiao Xihe and distributed them to the two handymen to clean up and deal with.
Pei Huiping came over again at this time, and this time she brought Lu Xiwen with her.
"Mother Yang," she raised her voice very dissatisfiedly when she saw the figure beside Qiao Xihe, "Why are you here? Don't you need to take care of the old man? Don't get in the way here." ”
Mother Yang laughed, "The old man went to take a nap, and he didn't need me to guard by his side." ”
Pei Huiping said: "Nonsense, the old man is old, how can he do it when there is no one around to guard him?
"If Mrs. Jiang is really worried," Mama Yang said, putting the ingredients in the bag into the basin and washing them in the sink, "You can go over and keep watch, and you should also do a little filial piety as a child, right?" ”
"You ......" Pei Huiping gritted her teeth, this Mother Yang has brought a lot of people in the Pei family, and it can be said that she has also watched herself grow up, so she can't go too far in words, otherwise the matter will reach the ears of the old man, and it will be good-looking.
"Hmph. She glanced at Qiao Xihe again and sneered: "Oh, oops, if I didn't pay attention, I thought it was a servant, it turned out to be Qiao Xihe." ”
Qiao Xihe looked at himself, for fear of soiling his clothes, so he put on an apron, but he looked like an ordinary housewife, and in Pei Huiping's mouth, it seemed to be as low as dust.
Mother Yang suddenly threw a plate of ingredients into the oil pot, and there was a "sting" sound, and billowing oil smoke came out.
Pei Huiping looked disgusted, pulled Lu Xiwen back again and again, and before leaving, she shouted arrogantly: "Qiao Xihe, you'd better get things done, don't embarrass the Pei family, otherwise, no matter whether you have Tingyuan's support or not, get out of me as soon as possible!"
Lu Xiwen glanced at her, and said to Qiao Xihe with a concerned face: "Xihe, do you want to help?" I see that you guys seem to be a little short of manpower, I will also cook some food, haven't you also eaten?"
Pei Huiping pulled her arm, "Xiwen, you are the eldest lady of the Lu family, and you only make food for the people you like, otherwise you are not allowed to enter the kitchen, otherwise how can you be worthy of your identity?"
"Sister-in-law......" Lu Xiwen called softly, then shook off her hand and walked towards Qiao Xihe, "I'll help, Xihe." ”
"No need. Qiao Xihe turned around, looked at her coldly, and refused in a firm tone.
"Huh?" Lu Xiwen was stunned.
Qiao Xihe said again: "There are enough people, you don't need to help, why don't you talk to your sister-in-law, otherwise she will be bored to stay in the living room alone?"
“…… Okay, okay. Lu Xiwen glanced at Qiao Xihe strangely, and felt that she seemed to have some changes, but she couldn't say what it was.
Qiao Xihe wanted to catch the chickens like an eagle, and drove Lu Xiwen outside, "Okay, okay, time is running out, I'm going to get busy." ”
Lu Xiwen was like a chicken, following Qiao Xihe and being driven out.
When she came back to her senses, she felt incredible.
