"Princess, is there anything we can do to help?" Seeing that the princess was busy early in the morning, and the things she made were things they had never seen before, the feeling of not being able to help was really terrible for these gold medal maids like Qingzhu Qingmei.

"Hmm...... Shall you go and decorate the yard first, hang up the ribbons, and set up the lanterns and tables? "Tonight, she is going to have an open-air party, and the tables and chairs must be exquisite.

"The tables and chairs are all set, and as for the streamers...... The slave and maid are stupid and don't know how to arrange it. Qingzhu snorted, with some self-blame and embarrassment. As personal maids, they have received a lot of training in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and they have followed their masters to many large-scale occasions, and even seen the banquets in the palace, but they have really never seen the scene layout requested by the princess, and they are full of curiosity in addition to guilt.

"It's okay, I'll command it later," Su Yingtong poured the flour into the model and then put it in the steamer to steam, and said to Qingzhu, "You can call the cook to come in, and the letter and the others will also come in, and help me watch the fire." "Xinzi is a person in the kitchen, usually under the care of the cook Aunt Zhang, although Su Yingtong is less in charge of the affairs in the yard, and usually does not communicate with the people here, but he can still call each of them by name.

Qingzhu went out in response, and after a while, he called in all the people in charge of the kitchen, including the cook in charge, a few maidservants and an old woman who was in charge of washing dishes and other trivial things, a total of nine people. After they entered the door, they stood in a well-trained row to greet Su Yingtong, quickly and capablely, although nervousness was inevitable, but they were not timid in front of the master. Su Yingtong nodded, sure enough, he was a subordinate of the Xiangyuan Palace, and there were rules.

When all the ingredients to be used were placed, Su Yingtong said to them: "These are all the things I want to use tonight, you just need to prepare the raw materials as usual, except for the potatoes to be peeled and shredded, everything else is as usual, due to the large number, you have to grasp the time yourself, and after you have completed these, you will go out to the yard to help, all understand?" ”

"Minions understand!" Although I am curious about what the princess is going to do, it is the duty of these maids to obey orders, and their servility is deep-rooted, even if they have doubts, they dare not ask lightly.

Su Yingtong nodded and said to the middle-aged woman in the first place: "Then Aunt Zhang, these people will be handed over to you, you can arrange their specific work, you don't have to be too fast, but you must be careful, remember not to make any omissions." ”

"Yes, Princess!"

was suddenly named, Aunt Zhang was not ordinary nervous, I didn't expect the princess to remember her name, this is really unexpected! Hearing the princess say that she would leave these things to her, this kind of trust flattered Aunt Zhang, and she secretly decided to do the errand well.

Su Yingtong steals fun, sometimes appropriate trust can make subordinates full of pride and motivation, and she naturally has enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work, and she can worry a little less.

After a few more words, he walked out of the kitchen, Su Yingtong walked directly outside the courtyard, and the tables and chairs were really set, and the ribbon was missing. Of course, the ribbons here are not the modern ones, but strips of cloth cut from various colors, which can be used for decorative effects and can be reused, which is not a waste.

"Qingzhu, you grab this end and tie it to the pillar...... Yes, it's taller, it's okay, Qingmei, you hang this side on the tree," Su Yingtong jumped up and down to direct the people to arrange the yard, and when he was in a hurry, he also personally climbed the table and climbed the tree, so that the people were frightened, is this really the princess of Xiangyuan?! Don't fall and get hurt!

Su Yingtong didn't know how "indecent" she was, she just wanted to arrange the yard quickly, it was almost noon now, but there were still a lot of things waiting for her to be busy!

"Ning'er Xing'er, come here," Su Yingtong took out the candles specially asked Steward Lin to prepare, and said to Ning'er Xing'er, "You put these candles in a circle along the tabletop, the spacing is about this large, and there is a fence next to it...... From here to there, and then a heart on the stone table in the middle...... Does the heart know? That's it......" Su Yingtong pointed his fingers for a long time, until they nodded and explained, then clapped their hands and said, "Okay, then let's start, if there are not enough candles, go and ask Steward Lin for it." ”

"Yes, Princess."

Ning'er Xing'er was busy, Su Yingtong exhaled lightly, and did one more thing, so what else was not done?

After pacing and patrolling, seeing that people were doing things in an orderly manner, Su Yingtong relaxed a little, but the next moment he seemed to remember something: "Qingzhu!" ”

"Yes! Princess. Qingzhu was busy taking care of the ribbons, and when he heard Su Yingtong's call, he immediately put down the work in his hand and walked over quickly, "What does the princess command?" ”

"I taught you the song and dance before, but have you practiced them all?"

Su Yingtong learned from Aunt Yun that the palace has not held any banquets since the old prince passed away, and the most recent one was Su Yingrou's bloody wedding, which of course doesn't count. So the palace can be said to have been deserted for a long time, and the palace mirror domain is too low EQ, and he has never held a birthday for Xiao Zhao, think about how stuffy this mansion must be, no wonder the little guy is unhappy! But since she decided to hold a birthday for Xiao Zhao, she has to make a good appearance, eat, drink, sing and dance less, and she must let Xiao Zhao also have an unforgettable birthday memory!

"Back to the princess, the slaves and maids have all practiced, and after a qiē is ready, I will practice a few times, no problem." Speaking of singing and dancing, Qingzhu's cheeks are flushed, she has never danced in front of so many people, and she is still the leader of the dance! Thinking that the prince was also very likely to be present tonight, Qingzhu couldn't help but be a little excited, not everyone is blessed to perform in front of the prince, she should take advantage of it.

"That's good," Su Yingtong didn't notice anything unusual about Qingzhu, glanced around and added, "You have to hang the glass painting carefully, don't break it, and the red carpet of the steps, remember to press the edge with a stone slab, don't let Xiao Zhao trip." ”

The glazed painting is the word "Happy Birthday" that she spelled out with glass fragments, because considering that there is no electric light here, the night can only rely on lantern candles and a few night pearls to illuminate, which is a bit monotonous, so she thought of the method of using glass fragments to assemble, glued to the thick cardboard with selected fragments, and even asked the craftsman to specially carve some multi-plane fragments mixed in it, so that when the lantern is lit at nightfall, hang the painting next to the lantern, and the words "Happy Birthday" can reflect the light and shine in the night. Naturally, it adds to the atmosphere.

"And the cutlery, cups, and stuff, all of them have to be arranged according to the specifications I said before, do you remember?"

"The slave remembers."

Tonight, Su Yingtong is going to make a buffet pie, food, drinks and fruits must be placed properly, of course, she has not trained the maids in the courtyard before this, although the requirements are cumbersome, but now when she hears Qingzhu say that there is no problem, she is still a lot more relieved.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go into the kitchen and have a look."

Su Yingtong turned around and ran into the kitchen again, because Xuelan Courtyard was originally a small courtyard in the palace, so the kitchen here is not big, and when she just moved in, even the cooking facilities were not perfect, and because she likes to make her own food, she spent some effort on the hardware facilities of the kitchen, so she has a fully equipped kitchen now.

However, the complete equipment can't make up for the shortcomings of the small area, especially today because of the lack of manpower, she also specially transferred a few mothers-in-law from the front yard to help, so that it is even more crowded.

"Oops!"

Walking too hurriedly and avoiding the maid in the corridor, Su Yingtong thought that the space reserved for himself was enough when he opened the outer door of the kitchen, but the door still hit his shoulder fiercely, and Su Yingtong immediately became sad.

"Princess! What happened to you? ”

The maidservant girl next to her was shocked, and her cry attracted the attention of the green bamboo and green plums who were busy in the yard, they were startled, what happened to the princess?

In the past few days, there have been many bumps, and the old scars on the body are not good and the new ones are coming again, but they really can't bear it!

Qingzhu Qingmei's little face turned white, and she hurriedly trotted to Su Yingtong's side, and before she could make a sound, Su Yingtong stretched out her hand to block it, they didn't step forward again, and they were even more anxious, the princess came again, and every time she stumbled, she didn't let them see it, saying that it was okay, how could this be, forget it occasionally, but now she is falling and bumping every once in a while, how can the princess stand it?

"Princess......

"I'm fine," Su Yingtong rubbed his shoulders and waved his hand, "You all go and get busy, don't worry about me." ”

"But ......"

"It's all set up outside?"

“……”

"Why don't you go soon? It's noon now," Su Yingtong threw down a sentence and entered the kitchen, walked a few steps and suddenly turned back, "Don't follow up!" Qingzhu Qingmei's worries she didn't agree with at all, but felt that they were all too fussed, and they were all shocked when there was anything to do, is it necessary? She's not papier-mâché!

Qingzhu Qingmei couldn't advance or retreat, and her little face was full of pain.

Su Yingtong didn't care too much, "Bang! The door was closed, Qingzhu Qingmei looked at each other helplessly, and could only return to the courtyard dejectedly, the princess's temperament They know it, since they don't let them look at them, it's useless to say more, they can only silently pray in their hearts that nothing will happen to the princess, otherwise their people here will be miserable!

The people in the kitchen were no better, because the matter was specially explained by Su Yingtong, and everyone did not dare to relax in the slightest, especially after seeing Su Yingtong come in to "inspect", the atmosphere was even more tense.

For this Xiangyuan princess, although no one took her in her eyes at the beginning, but since Miss Lan was "forced" away by the princess three times and twice, no one dares to underestimate this former brainless daughter of the prime minister's house, although I can't see that the prince has anything special about the princess, but just looking at the fact that Miss Lan left the house again, I know that the princess is actually not simple.

As for Su Yingtong, as soon as she entered the kitchen, she was moved by the picture of her conscientious and concentrated work in front of her, and she thought that at least one or two people would be lazy, how did she know that they were so conscious! What a professional wow!

Su Yingtong, who was secretly moved silently in her heart, didn't expect that in fact, they were all because she was afraid of her, and she didn't know anything about her, who had always thought that she was full of affinity, since Lan Yicai staged a beating and scolding attack on her in the mansion, she disappeared in the palace since then, no one knew where she went, and no one dared to mention it, and Su Yingtong subconsciously just thought that Lan Yicai was grounded in her yard by the palace mirror domain, she didn't ask, and the green bamboo and green plums around her didn't mention it, so everyone ignored Lan Yicai's person gorgeously.

"Princess, do you have any special requirements for these shredded potatoes?" Aunt Zhang cautiously asked Su Yingtong for instructions.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot," Su Yingtong patted his head, "Don't cut it too thinly, it's about the thickness of the tail finger, understand?" "Almost, she's going to french fries, and it's hard to cut them too thin." Well, prepare some more flour for me, and set up the rest of the seasonings on the table for me, and I'll see what I can use. ”

After coming here for so long, she found that some things here were a little different from modern names, so in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it was better to do it herself.

"Yes, slave knows."

Chef Zhang was busy, Su Yingtong was walking around in the kitchen by herself, and saw that they were doing very well, so she nodded unconsciously with satisfaction, she couldn't see it, although that Steward Lin was fat, fat, cunning, and treacherous, and the grass on both sides of the wall, he still had a good set of stewards, well, not bad.

It is estimated that the time is almost up, and Su Yingtong doesn't want to hinder Chef Zhang's work, after all, he has handed over the matter to others, and if he has to supervise the side with a disbelieving face, it will be annoying.

She has more important things to do! After asking someone to move the fresh seasonal fruits to the yard, Su Yingtong began to carry out the most important content - squeezing juice!

When it comes to squeezing juice, Su Yingtong is a little big, although it is really exciting to think that there are fresh green drinks to drink at night, but God knows how difficult it is to squeeze apples and pears into juice by hand without a juicer!

But thinking that Xiao Zhao likes to drink, Su Yingtong is motivated again, there is nothing to stump me Su Yingtong! Dry Daddy!

Su Yingtong, who was full of energy, completed the simple step - making a milkshake in three or two clicks. Hehe, the apple and pear are too hard she can take it slowly, the easier banana and watermelon are the easiest to take, and there is no shortage of raw materials here, and now the time is quite sufficient, you can take your time.

Xiao Zhao hasn't tried the milkshake she made yet, but she should like it, right? Guessing, Su Yingtong got busy, first peeled and mashed the banana and put it directly in the cup, added some milk and a little sugar, and then spread a layer of watermelon flesh on top, and then added banana pieces in turn...... So at the end of the day, you have a mixed milkshake!

Su Yingtong smiled smugly at the corner of his mouth, admiring his work with great satisfaction, such a carefully made milkshake in a special transparent glass, with bright colors, fresh smell, and attractive appearance, it is simply a work of art! It's really unexpected, it turns out that I still have so many potential advantages that haven't been explored, what a talented woman!

While boasting, Su Yingtong was doing the final decoration steps, she carefully cut some apple shreds and green pear chips and spread them on top, and finally put a grape to add points to the sale, and make it easy!

"Wow, princess, what is this, it's so beautiful!" Ning'er, who was setting candles next to her, couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"Milkshake," Su Yingtong blinked, "Let's see how it goes tonight, if you can, you can also have a chance to try it!" ”

"Really?"

The surrounding maids were not calm, and gathered around to confirm whether they were really blessed to eat the rare things made by the princess herself, obediently, they really hadn't seen anything in a strange cup, it looked delicious, and I don't know what it tasted like?
