Chapter Twenty-Three: Just Helping to Look at the Fire

In the small kitchen of Qiongbi Courtyard, the kitchen lady Liu Erjia was busy packing up the newly purchased melons and fruits, and at the same time hurriedly ordered: "Quickly pick out the soaked tofu clothes, and wait for the drawer!" At the same time, he ordered to prepare the mountain mushroom essence meat filling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The little girls agreed, and hurriedly prepared.

Fang Xing opened the curtain and came in, and said with a smile to Liu Er's family: "Sister-in-law is busy?" Look at you who don't touch the ground, but you want to prepare lunch? ā€

Seeing that it was Shen Ruohua's personal big girl, Liu Erjia smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows, and hurriedly rubbed her hand on the apron, and moved a small stool to Fang Xing: "The girl is here, sit down and rest for a while." ā€

She smiled all over her face, and took out a cup of tea from under the gauze cover on the side: "This is the tea that has only been brewed for a long time, it was originally a tea for Mrs., but Mrs. is now taking medicine, this tea is a pity, so I made a light and planned to give it to the girls to taste, but Miss Qiaofang Xing came over." Xiaoxiao sent the tea to Fang Xing, "Taste it, I can't eat it well." ā€

Fang Xing also knew that these servants and girls in the kitchen would eat something in private, and she didn't break down Liu Er's family, so she took the tea and took a bite, and smiled slightly: "Madam asked me to come and take a look, the pot of pheasant and bamboo shoot soup that I ordered to stew before is good." ā€

Liu Erjia pointed to the stove: "I just got on the stove, and it's still stewing." ā€

She said with a sad face: "The girl doesn't know, now the kitchen is too busy, in the past, it was only occasionally in the kitchen to order pastries for supper, and the meals were sent by the chef, but now that Mrs. is sick, she is very particular, and even the meals used on weekdays are prepared from this kitchen, and they are extremely fine." ā€

She pointed to the cage in the hands of the girls, full of helplessness: "Girl, look, the tofu skin bun that Mrs. wants is not ordinary, this filling alone is made of mountain mushrooms, fine meat, pheasant melon seeds, cloud leg dice, these good things are chopped into puree, and this filling alone costs a lot of silver." ā€

Fang Xing couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "Good girl, this is really expensive, how did Madam think of eating this." ā€

Liu Erjia's bitter face: "Madame is picking it now, I made a ham wolfberry sprout yesterday, and I thought that the wolfberry sprouts were not tender, so I didn't hurry up and sent them to buy fresh ones." ā€

Fang Xing heard her say this, and said suspiciously: "Madame didn't talk about this before, why does it seem to have changed her temperament now." ā€

Liu Er's family didn't bother to talk to her much at this time, seeing that there was gas in a pot on the stove, he hurriedly lifted the lid and got busy, and said: "Girl, sit down, I'll do these things first and then talk to the girl." ā€

Fang Xing responded: "Don't worry, you are busy first." She got up and walked around in the kitchen, curiously looking left and right, and said with a smile: "Although I come a lot on weekdays, I don't look in the kitchen, you really have everything here." ā€

Liu Erjia was too busy to look back, so he responded: "Girl, take a look casually, tell me what you want to eat." ā€

Fang Xing pursed her lips and smiled, and saw the small stove on the side, and there was a clay pot on it, which was boiling something abruptly with the lid, and she couldn't help but listen to the steps: "This is Madame's medicine, why didn't anyone look at the fire, and it was fried carefully." ā€

When Liu Erjia heard her say this, he hurriedly dropped the spoon in his hand, opened the lid with a piece of cloth, and looked at it: "It's not ready yet, we have to wait." ā€

She looked at Fang Xing very embarrassed: "Girl, don't blame, there are really not enough people, and no one has the hands to watch the fire." She pointed to the little girls who were busy in the kitchen, "They also have to help prepare the food." ā€

Fang Xing sighed and waved her hand: "It's hard for you, it's all for Madame, it doesn't matter where you divide it." ā€

She took the pu fan on the side, sat down by the small stove, and said while fanning the fire: "Sister-in-law, you are busy, I will be fine waiting here, help you look at the fire." ā€

Liu Erjia was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he show a reluctant smile: "I'm afraid this is not good, the girl is delicate and expensive, where can she do this." ā€

Fang Xing fanned the fire and said with a smile: "What's this, it's just to help look at the fire, I can't do anything else, this medicine has to be boiled by my sister-in-law, I can't." ā€

Liu Erjia glanced at the medicine jar, pulled the corners of his mouth, turned around and went back to prepare the dishes, but he looked back from time to time, just afraid that Fang Xing would not take care of it.

Fang Xing fanned the fire seriously, and from time to time lifted the lid with a cloth to take a look and see how the fire was.

After tossing for almost half an hour, Fang Xing wiped the sweat on her forehead, lifted the lid and looked at it, before she smiled with satisfaction: "It's done, it's already fried." ā€

She threw the pu fan, got up and said to Liu Erjia: "Sister-in-law asked someone to pour out the decoction and send it to Mrs. ā€

Liu Erjia responded, and said: "The girl has worked hard, but the girl has to serve it herself?" ā€

Fang Xing shook her head: "Madame sent me to ask about the fresh bamboo shoot soup, where is it good, just go back, you just let the little girls send it over." ā€

Liu Erjia put the stewed soup in a food box and gave it to her, sent her out with a smile, and watched her go back to the wing.

Turning her head, the smile on her face was completely gone, and she pointed to the boiled jar of decoction and said fiercely: "Quickly seal it and send it to Madame, and tell Madame that she really did it!" ā€
