Chapter 110: A Pinch of Cake (I)
Yue Linfeng didn't have Liu Yiyi's concerns, so he didn't understand, so he asked: "Yu Xiao has been upset for the past two days?" How did I not know? ”
"You've been in Mengzhou since you came to Mengzhou, and have you cared about other people's other things?" When Xiao Tang spoke, he looked at Liu Yiyi generously. The intention beyond "other" is obvious.
Yue Linfeng subconsciously had a weak heart, he really didn't have the heart to think about anything else after coming to Mengzhou, anyway, Yu Xiao was so capable, but he was so wholehearted, why did the person he liked stay farther away from him?
"It's time for us to leave after the business, Miss Liu wants to try to make mint fresh peaches herself, just go to the kitchen to find me." Xiao Tang didn't forget to send out an invitation before saying goodbye, and it was precisely because of his invitation that Yue Linfeng got up.
"I'll try it again in the summer." Liu Yiyi respectfully thanked Bumin, now the kitchen is not peaches, but gold and silver!
Xiao Tang laughed twice before he said: "As the saying goes, pink is easy to make up a delicate woman, and it is difficult to be a good son without money." Miss Liu doesn't have to worry about the silver at all, and don't stay away from him because Linfeng is willing to spend money for you. ”
"I ......" Xiao Tang's words seemed to be a bit informative, and Liu Yiyi didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Xiao Tang then said: "If Miss Liu wants to cook, go to the small kitchen to find me, you probably don't know the layout of the ship's kitchen, there are three kitchens here, the big kitchen on the ground floor is specially responsible for the next person's meal, there is a kitchen on this floor that is responsible for their meals in Linfeng, and one is for me to use alone, in fact, you can go anywhere you want." ”
It takes about half a month to travel from Mengzhou to the capital, and Liu Yiyi estimated that she would not be able to stand it if she didn't enter the kitchen for such a long time, so she immediately thanked Xiao Tang for taking the initiative to invite her: "Thank you, Boss Tang." I will definitely visit. ”
"No thanks, I'm also entrusted." Xiao Tang said this before pulling Yue Linfeng away.
Although Xiao Tang didn't say who entrusted him, Liu Yiyi immediately thought that it was Du Shaonan. It seems that he still runs errands for her, and he can't help but smile on his face when he thinks about it.
It seems that the young lady really likes to cook! Lotus Osmanthus hasn't seen the ability of what people are thinking, they just saw Xiao Tang invite Liu Yiyi to cook, Liu Yiyi smiled happily, so they decided to take advantage of the young lady's good mood to say good things for Yue Linfeng.
"Miss, in fact, what Boss Tang said is not bad. What can a man do to please a woman without spending money? Osmanthus said first.
"That is, he can give a woman four thousand taels of silver without blinking. Lord Yue is really good to Miss. Lotus also said.
Liu Yiyi stopped smiling, and frowned instead: "What do you mean when you say that Boss Tang's sentence 'pink is easy to make up and delicate women, and it is difficult to be a good son without money'?" He's not going to be hinting at blaming me for my trouble. Only then did Lord Yue spend money impulsively. And then I still don't appreciate it? ”
Lotus Osmanthus looked at each other, and then Lotus smiled first: "Miss, you are too worried, the maid is praising Miss Tang's beauty when she listens to Boss Tang's meaning, so that Lord Yue fell in love at first sight, you didn't hear Boss Tang say that Lord Yue had never bothered so much about any woman before." ”
"Because of this face? Then I'd rather be ordinary. "I think when she was Zhang Yi in her last life, how could she be so entangled, she just needs to concentrate on studying the dishes.
"Is Miss Liu here?" Outside the door there was another conversation.
It's very unfamiliar to hear. Osmanthus stepped forward to open the door: "My young lady is here, what is the matter?" ”
At the door stood a little eunuch about the same age as Changxi. It's not as clever as Changxi but looks more honest than Changxi, he bowed his head when he saw the osmanthus: "Lord Yue asked the little one to tell Miss Liu that the boat was about to leave the dock, if Miss Liu was not suitable for sailing, don't bear it, just tell him." Lord Lin also had something to tell Miss Liu that the second son and eldest lady of the Mu family were coming, and if Miss Liu wanted to see them go to the ship hall. ”
"I know, please tell Lord Lin, I'll go over in a while." Liu Yiyi just didn't hear Yue Linfeng's kindness, because she couldn't accept it.
"Yes." The little eunuch didn't say anything more, bowed his head and turned around and left.
This is like simply passing the word, and Liu Yiyi feels that Changxi has a problem.
Liu Yiyi asked the lotus osmanthus to take the gift to the Mu family brothers and sisters, and went to the boat hall together, the last time the two maids saw Lin Yuxiao in the boat hall, they didn't feel the terrible air pressure, they were afraid that they were purely scaring themselves, thinking that now everyone has the same purpose, the big demon will not be embarrassed by them, but also hold the gift box.
In addition to Father-in-law Yan in the boat hall, all the important people on this trip were present, Mu Qinglang whispered to Xiao Tang, Lin Yuxiao lowered his head and held a book to read, Mu Qingyin looked out the window in a daze, Yue Linfeng looked at the hall door, and was surprised and happy when he saw Liu Yiyi coming, but he hurriedly turned his head as soon as he looked at each other.
He knew it would be good to turn his head. Yue Linfeng's avoidance made Liu Yiyi a little easier, she walked towards Mu Qingyin first, Mu Qingyin was still wearing a white gauze skirt, plus the cloud temples without fat powder, and her brows were slightly frowned, like a white flower blooming in the fog.
Some people's sad faces are said to be bitter gourd faces, which makes people disgusted at first sight; Some of them are called Xizi heart, which has become a special word to describe beauty for thousands of years, and the reason for this is that Liu Yiyi understood when she looked at Mu Qingyin, and it was not because of her face!
Liu Yiyi had no pressure to talk to a worried beauty, she offered the white hosta she had chosen for Mu Qingyin, Mu Qingyin really smiled faintly and took it, but in the blink of an eye, she sighed again, and her face was lonely.
Others are still used to Mu Qingyin's appearance, but her second brother Mu Qinglang felt uncomfortable when he heard her sigh, he was strange! They are a family of military generals, men are born with a bold spirit on the battlefield, and the wife they choose is also specially selected to be refreshing, how can there be such a sentimental girl!?
Liu Yiyi saw Mu Qinglang turn her head to look over, but felt that the opportunity was just right, she presented a bronze dagger, Mu Qinglang judged at a glance that it was an old thing with a history thousands of years ago, maybe it was the relic of a famous general, this gift was really in his heart, and he thanked him and accepted it.
Copper rust? Xiao Tang was not interested at first glance, half of his aesthetics were cultivated by Lin Yuxiao, and half were nature, and only sparkling ones were valuable.
"Miss Liu not only chooses gifts, but also has a talent for cooking. Shaonan also came to me two days ago, hoping to let Miss Liu go to my small kitchen after entering the palace. Xiao Tang put this matter on the face generously.
Mu Qinglang and Liu Yiyi met twice in total and spoke less than three sentences. Of course, he is not good at expressing his opinion on such things; Mu Qingyin is always immersed in his own sadness; Lin Yuxiao still looked down at the book; Yue Linfeng instinctively objected: "How hard you work in your small kitchen, how can Miss Liu go?" ”
Liu Yiyi was happy that Du Shaonan really helped her, so she listened to Yue Linfeng's objection, how could she be happy: "I don't think it's hard in the kitchen, doesn't Boss Tang also work in the kitchen?" ”
The most annoying thing in Liu Yiyi's two lives is to let others decide their future arbitrarily, saying that it is for her good, so why not ask her before deciding. Ask her if she would like to ask for her opinion?
Seeing Liu Yiyi's obvious displeasure, Yue Linfeng suddenly realized that he was anxious again. But he is just reluctant to let the beauty smoke all day long, he thinks about her wholeheartedly, why doesn't she always appreciate it?
Don agrees with Liu Yiyi, who likes to study new dishes in the kitchen. Never thought it was drudgery. It's just that he was afraid that Yue Linfeng wouldn't be able to think about it anymore and it would affect everyone, so he had to ease the atmosphere: "My small kitchen is not so easy to enter, and Miss Liu still has to have that ability." ”
"I don't know what kind of skills are needed to enter Boss Tang's kitchen?" Liu Yiyi is not timid at all, her eyes are shining, what about the ancient chef exam! If you really want to pass, it is also an affirmation of your own strength.
This woman really likes to cook. Anyone who looks at her expression at the moment will understand that Mu Qinglang can't help but look at it twice, how good it would be if his sister could be so optimistic!
"I believe Shaonan told you, the people in my small kitchen do not belong to the palace. It's my Tang Zhitang, and Miss Liu is the female official of the Queen Mother. You just have great ability, no matter how big you are, I won't rob people with the Queen Mother. "What Xiao Tang doesn't dare to do even more is to fight with Tiandou.
So he said this to tell her not to give up hope? Liu Yiyi was very disappointed, but this was an opportunity, just to tell these people where she really wanted to go: "I can't get into Boss Tang's kitchen, what about the Shangshi Bureau in the palace?" ”
The food bureau is too messy! Yue Linfeng just wanted to deny it and immediately shut up, he couldn't be annoying anymore.
Xiao Tang smiled when he saw that Yue Linfeng wanted to speak and stopped: "The Shangshi Bureau is too chaotic, because it is not easy to approach the emperor there, and most of the women in the palace are ambitious, so that they can't see the future every day, how many people have no resentment in their hearts?" If you hear that Miss Liu went there of your own free will, can you be sure that they will not think that you are blessed and do not enjoy self-inflicted guilt? Won't be angry with you? ”
Xiao Tang said it so bluntly, of course Liu Yiyi had to consider whether it was safe to enter the Shangshi Bureau...... She really didn't dare! Working with a group of resentful women is not a normal workplace!
"Then what can I do when I enter the palace? I don't know much and my heart is not careful enough...... "Liu Yiyi is not afraid to say his shortcomings now, it's better than making a fool of himself after entering the palace, right?"
"There is a beautiful woman in the generation, living in the hollow valley." Mu Qingyin suddenly groaned and said, "Miss Liu is full of splendor, why should she be humble, if you want, I can recommend you as the female history of the Queen Mother." ”
Mu Qinglang was surprised, isn't his sister even unwilling to take care of his closest relatives, why is he willing to help Liu Yiyi today? What's so good about this young lady of the Liu family? Not only did Yue Linfeng lose his sense of proportion for her, but he also looked at her differently as sex.
Regarding Mu Qingyin's words, Liu Yiyi hurriedly waved her hand: "I can't do it, I heard the verses, I really can't read completely!" "How can she write traditional Chinese?! If you really want to go into the palace to be responsible for the record, can you read the pages full of typos!?
Mu Qingyin stopped talking, she just saw that Yue Linfeng was very anxious for Liu Yiyi, and she couldn't bear to have a lover suffer before she was ready to help, but Liu Yiyi was so resolute in her resignation, how could she force it.
Liu Yiyi can't help it, just using the pen is an easy job for those who can write, but it is a terrible errand for those who can't write!
Xiao Tang rejected Liu Yiyi, and Liu Yiyi rejected Mu Qingyin, the scene was cold for a while, Yue Linfeng was even more anxious, but he didn't dare to speak.
Lin Yuxiao sighed helplessly and put down the scroll, it seemed that he had to say that he had planned to give Yue Linfeng this opportunity to be gracious, but it seemed that Yue Linfeng made Liu Yiyi on guard with one mouth...... So forget it this time, and when you enter the palace in the future, it will be a time for heroes to save beauty.
"Xiao Tang's small kitchen is for the emperor to open a small stove, it is inconvenient for him to run to the queen mother's palace at any time, but Miss Liu does not have to scruples, if there is a small kitchen in the queen mother's palace, Miss Liu is willing to be the head of the stove?" Lin Yuxiao looked up and smiled.
"My separate kitchenette?" Liu Yiyi was flattered, isn't that the same treatment as Xiao Tang?
"There are two kitchens in Ningshou Palace, one large and one small, the big room is naturally used by the palace people, and the small room is used by the Queen Mother and the father-in-law and grandmother in charge, the emperor is filial, it turned out that the Queen Mother will set up a separate small kitchen, it is the Queen Mother who is so simple, saying that the father-in-law and grandmother of Ningshou Palace are all old people, and they are not willing to eat separately from them, and they are lonely and lonely, so even if Miss Liu has a separate room, she is just occasionally making some snacks to make the Queen Mother happy, and she is not completely responsible for the Queen Mother's three meals a day."
As soon as Lin Yuxiao finished introducing, Yue Linfeng was the first to rest assured, this method is excellent, you don't have to be smoky all day long, and you are under the protection of the Queen Mother, and you can please the Queen Mother anytime and anywhere, it is really a good way that Yuxiao can come up with.
Mu Qingyin sighed faintly, everyone in the world envied the honor of the Queen Mother, who would have thought of the Queen Mother's bitter silence, how ruthless her grandmother was back then, she would take the initiative to send a young girl like flowers into the palace to accompany the king who is half a hundred years old!?
Mu Qinglang felt the same way for his sister's sigh this time, the little aunt is so pitiful, you see that she is also the daughter of the Lin family, but their mother can accompany her husband on the grassland every day, chasing prey and living freely.
Fortunately, the little aunt still has a filial son, an equally filial nephew, Mu Qinglang looked at Lin Yuxiao and remembered his mother's instructions before going out, and he didn't know if he could see his uncle this time, and persuaded him to take Yuxiao to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, obviously he was born, so why say that he was an adopted son?
Lin Yuxiao has always been too lazy to care about other people's troubles, and the purpose of most of his small kitchen is also for his own benefit: "Can Miss Liu have the confidence to be on her own?" If there is, it just so happens that Xiao Tang will test your cooking skills these days, and I will be able to recommend you in front of the Queen Mother when I return to Beijing in the future. ”
"Yu Xiao......" Yue Linfeng finally couldn't help but speak, "You have also tasted Miss Liu's cooking, why do you need to take the exam again?" ”
"Do you think Miss Liu can compare to Xiao Tang?" Lin Yuxiao asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Yue Linfeng replied without hesitation.
Mu Qinglang frowned suddenly, and Mu Qingyin looked at Liu Yiyi with envy, Brother Yue trusted Miss Liu so unconditionally, it was really sincere! And Liu Yiyi's face turned red all of a sudden! The lotus osmanthus behind her looked at each other, this Lord Yue was really ......
The only two expressions present remained unchanged were Xiao Tang and Lin Yuxiao, Xiao Tang only smiled and didn't speak, and it was Lin Yuxiao who spoke: "I won't say how many stores Tang Zhitang has opened, lest Senior Brother you say that it is inconvenient for me to bully other girls, and I won't say how many dishes Xiao Tang will make, lest Senior Brother you say that washing vegetables is hard, and the strength of meat cutting girls is definitely not as neat as men's......"
