The day after Qin Huaiyu returned home, something happened in Qin's mansion - the big kitchen was once again out of cooking after the last accident. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is a good opportunity to seize power, Qin E is curiously waiting for what action Qin Huaiyu will take.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyu called everyone to the small mountain residence and thoroughly investigated the matter in front of the old lady.

Qin E sat down, looking at the old lady and He's blue and white faces, and felt that this aunt and grandmother were really a wonderful person.

To deal with the old lady and the He family, instead of laboriously using means and fighting brains, it is better to fight head-on hard battles with real swords and guns to get twice the result with half the effort.

The old lady no longer concealed her dislike for Qin Huaiyu, and now that she really can't care about her face, "What does my sister-in-law want to do?"

Qin Huaiyu was unceremoniously, "Don't do anything, the big kitchen suddenly broke out, heh, I heard that there was already one time before, such a serious matter should be investigated carefully to see what is going on." The Qin family in Zhuangyuan Hutong can't eat from top to bottom, won't it make the families in the capital laugh when it spreads?"

The old lady pointed at Qin E, Qin Yan and Qin Ting, "You came here by yourself, why did you call them too?"

Qin Huaiyu said: "Although it is a group of children, it is not small, I followed the learning to take care of the housekeeping when I was ten years old, and I learned to be in charge at the age of thirteen." People like ours must be more cautious about the education of women, otherwise they will not be ashamed if they marry in the future and will not be able to raise their children?"

"You!" the old lady turned pale, but she couldn't say a word.

Qin E high-fived Qin Huaiyu fiercely in her heart. Qin Huaiyu scolded Huai Huai this time, which made the old lady angry, which was really happy.

Qin Huaiyu didn't give the old lady a chance to breathe, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law didn't care about family affairs when she was young, and she didn't know how important some things were. This cooking is not a trivial matter, it is related to the livelihood of hundreds of people in the house, and the repeated cooking has caused panic, which is a sign of failure. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly investigate and punish it, and never tolerate it. ”

"What do you really want to do with all that?"

"Over the years, I have lived in a hot spring annex, and my sister-in-law has worked hard to take care of the house. Now that I'm back, my sister-in-law is resting, and I'm going to worry about you. Someone's coming!"

The thrush led a woman into the house.

The old lady didn't recognize it, but He and Qi recognized it, and this person was the master of the big kitchen, the Li family.

Chef Li is about 50 years old, recommended by the previous master chef before returning to his hometown, and his cooking skills are very exquisite, and he makes authentic Beijing dishes. Master Li's husband died early and had no children, and no one expected her to suddenly resign.

Master Li was carrying a small burden on his back, obviously about to leave, but was stopped by Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu said politely, "Master Li, don't come unharmed." ”

"Grandma still recognizes me?"

"You've been an old man in the house for more than ten years, haven't you?"

"One more month and twelve years. ”

Qin Huaiyu said with a smile: "My brother likes to eat the golden silk cakes you make the most, and I often praise you for your good craftsmanship, which is better than Sanwei Zhai." Isn't it, sister-in-law?"

The old lady's breath stagnated, and she smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Master Li smiled shyly, "Vulgar skills, I didn't expect my aunt and grandmother to remember." ”

Qin E couldn't hold back and didn't snort, the old lady's expression obviously didn't remember.

Qin E thought of her grandfather, when she was young, she couldn't remember many things clearly, but she still remembered that her grandfather was very good to her, often asked her to play in the study, and brought her a lot of delicious food, including the golden silk cake that Qin Huaiyu said.

In the blink of an eye, my grandfather had been dead for so many years.

When they were young, the relationship between the grandfather and the old lady was not good, and later because of the housekeeper's affairs, the estrangement between the two deepened, and they often did not see each other for months. In Qin E's memory, the old man with frost-soaked temples stayed in the study all the year round, and a lonely lamp illuminated the case at night, and his back was very lonely.

Qin E never understood why her talented grandfather would marry someone like the old lady. Maybe this is another generation's joys and sorrows, a generation's bad fate.

Qin E couldn't help but think of her marriage, and her originally happy mood suddenly sank.

Qin Huaiyu stabbed the old lady, turned around and asked: "You have been in the Qin Mansion for so many years, why do you suddenly have to leave? You have no children and family, where are you going to leave the Qin Mansion?"

Tears welled up in Master Li's eyes, "Grandma, as you said, I have no children and no daughters, and I originally planned to work in the mansion for the rest of my life, but now the Qin Mansion can't accommodate me." I have already found a nephew, and this time I am going to join him, and it will be better to find someone to do in the future than now. ”

Master Li spoke at the table, and the whole room was shocked. Even the old lady forgot to be angry with Qin Huaiyu, and wondered: "What did Master Li say about this, what did our Qin family give you?"

He Shi couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Master Li, I have always respected you very much, and the filial piety that should be given has never been less than you, and I must be courteous to you at four o'clock and eight festivals, how can I wronged you?"

Master Li made up his mind to leave, and he no longer had any scruples when he spoke, and laughed at himself: "The third lady has indeed never lost my monthly silver, only a few months from time to time. ”

He Shi's face turned red, and he quickly glanced at Qin Huaiyu, and argued: "The cost in the house is tight, and there is no way to do it later, and there is no shortage of you left and right." ”

Qin Huaiyu ignored He and continued to ask, "Master Li, I heard that the kitchen was cut off once a few days ago, what's going on?"

He interjected: "That incident has been investigated, it was she who went out and had an argument with someone and couldn't come back on time, which delayed the meal." ”

Qin Huaiyu looked at Master Li: "There are special people in the kitchen, how can you do the errand work yourself?"

Master Li sighed and said, "Grandma, I can't help it. I just said that the third lady often sends monthly cases late, but in fact, the monthly cases are issued early and late for me, I am alone, food and accommodation are in the house, and money is not important to me. It's just that the third lady often buys silver for the kitchen late, which really makes me embarrassed. ”

He hurriedly opened his mouth, but was glared at by Qin Huaiyu, so he had to close his mouth.

Encouraged by Chef Li, he continued: "The kitchen costs money every day, and if there is no money, we have to pay on credit everywhere, and after a long time, many stores don't like to do business with us, and they don't want to take out good ingredients. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, without ingredients, and it is difficult to show what skills I have, let alone satisfy the ladies. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, according to the rules, the government should allocate a sum of money to buy things for us, but not only is there not much money to give, but the accounts owed outside cannot be repaid. I had no choice but to go out and pick the ingredients myself and arrange the recipes carefully. ”

"That day, I happened to see a few fresh cinnamon fish, and I wanted to buy them and raise them for a few days to keep for Chinese New Year's Eve. But I didn't expect that the fishmonger saw that we were from the Qin family, and sneered at us, laughing at us for having no money. I couldn't hold back for a while, so I argued with him for a few words, and the time was delayed. ”

"Originally, I didn't care if I came back later, but because I didn't have money and the kitchen didn't have stock, I delayed the ingredients to be used that day, so the kitchen couldn't fire normally. This is not mine, if I could bear with it and not argue with the fishmonger, I would not have caused this incident. ”

Speaking of this, Master Li's face was full of guilt, "Because of me, the whole kitchen has been punished, and I really don't have the face to stay in the kitchen anymore." It just so happened that my nephew asked me to go back to care for the elderly, so I asked to resign today, and I also asked my aunt and grandmother to fulfill it, let me go. ”

"Although our Qin family is not a rich family, we have never lacked food and clothing. Now he is laughed at by a fishmonger in the market, heh. Qin Huaiyu looked at He, and the sarcasm in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

What is it like to expose the short face in public, especially in front of a group of juniors, just look at He's to know.

He Shi sweated on his forehead, and slumped his shoulders and argued: "I don't want to, but I really don't have any money." ”

"When I was in charge of the house, there were thousands of taels of surplus silver hanging on my account for a long time, why was the house so poor after a few years?"

He Shi wiped his sweat and said: "There are many more people in the house now than when my aunt and grandmother were in charge, and each of them has to be spent, and the price of rice, flour and oil has risen, and the silver is running out little by little." ”

Qin Huaiyu sighed, "I'm curious when you say this, how did the ancestor run the family at that time, the family business has not become smaller and smaller, but has become bigger and bigger." ”

Qin Huaiyu looked at He's, "Why didn't the third daughter-in-law speak?"

Before He could respond, he heard a loud male voice outside the door, "She is at a loss, and my aunt asked her in vain." ”

Everyone was shocked, and He jumped up from the chair and looked at the door in horror.

Qin E followed and looked together, only to see the door curtain move, and a man with a long and jade body walked in, it was not Qin Lian!
