Aunt Wang is indeed not a scheming person, for example, she gave Cai'er a look, thinking that she was doing something very hidden, but Liu Yiyi saw it clearly, and she was a little more vigilant about making Cai'er a slave.

"What do you usually do at home?" Liu Yiyi asked Cai'er, who had been bowing her head.

Cai'er was obviously nervous, she had come to the Willow Mansion to find her aunt before, and she was dazzled by the carved beams and paintings of the Willow Mansion, the magnificent courtyard, and the aunt dressed more decently when she worked in the kitchen than when she visited her family's relatives, not to mention the maiden housekeeper here...... And now the young lady in front of her, looks and dresses, and the princess is like this, right?

"Don't be afraid, I'll just ask casually......" Seeing that Cai'er couldn't say anything nervously, Liu Yiyi let herself smile a little more amiably.

"Cai'er...... Slaves and maids can clean the house, do laundry, embroider, and cook...... will also make a few small snacks...... "Cai'er heard Aunt Wang say that the eldest lady can cook and her cooking skills are not bad, and the eldest lady's personal maid Huan Ying'er can only help in the small kitchen, so if she wants to stay, it is necessary to do what she likes."

"Oh?" Liu Yiyi was really interested, "Then I'll take you to the small kitchen, and you can make it for me." ”

Now there is no shortage of anything in the small kitchen, Liu Yiyi pointed to the dazzling array of ingredients, and said generously: "You can use it here, you can make any snacks." ”

It's really the same as my aunt said, Miss also likes to make dim sum, otherwise she wouldn't be able to find everything she thinks of here!

As soon as Cai'er entered the small kitchen, she was much more relaxed than outside, she first washed her hands in the corner basin, and then took the embroidered cotton towel on the shelf to dry her hands, the touch of the coarse cloth that was different from the previous one made her a little timid: "...... Miss, can the slave maid use this hand towel......" Although she had already used it and asked again, "The slave maid is used to washing her hands before making snacks......"

"It's a good habit, you're doing it right, I said I brought you here to test what you're capable of, use it here, you can do whatever you want." Liu Yiyi repeated her words, then pulled a chair and sat in the corner, putting on a completely letting go attitude.

Liu Yiyi is more than two years older than Cai'er, Cai'er's fear of her when they first met was mainly because of her dress and her aunt's orders, but she was alone for a while, Cai'er saw that this young lady was very approachable, and she was not so afraid, and she wanted to stay here.

"The slave maid started to make ......" Cai'er turned to face the ingredients, and that kind of concentration suppressed the appearance of the country girl who had never seen the world before.

Liu Yiyi smiled and watched, she can at least be sure that Cai'er will make dim sum now, and this Cai'er is also a person who loves to cook with heart, her momentum is the "chef field" that Zhang Yi and her classmates jokingly called "within three feet of the stove, for me", which is the control of the realm that she is familiar with, and her confidence in her own skills.

Cai'er likes to cook very much, because only this place can make her forget her troubles, and it is also because she likes to cook that she can meet her sweetheart......

Skillfully use flour, raw oil, caramel and skin, use flour and cooked lard to make puff pastry, use cooked flour, cooked lard, powdered sugar, sesame, five-spice powder, salt, etc. and filling, and then wrap it into a square, the crust on both sides is pointed, folded at the bottom layer, the top layer is slightly sprinkled with water to stick a layer of sesame seeds, and then baked in the oven.

After calculating the heat, Cai'er turned to face Liu Yiyi while waiting, and was a little nervous again.

This little girl looks like an honest person, and Liu Yiyi's current impression of Cai'er is not bad, so she spoke softly first: "What's your name for this dim sum?" ”

"The baggage cake is a burden of gold and silver, and the filling inside looks like gold and silver jewelry?" Afraid that Liu Yiyi would not like the name "Baggage Cake", Cai'er was busy guiding in an auspicious sense.

Liu Yiyi has seen Chinese and Western dim sum plus a piece is definitely better than Cai'er a hundred times, she will not hear the burden and think of the burden, she looked at Cai'er's steps to make the burden cake and said: "I have seen similar to this dim sum, there are two kinds, the two methods are exactly the same as yours, the tip of the pie crust is folded at the bottom, but the top is not sesame seeds but brushed with a layer of egg yolk liquid, and the salt and pepper filling inside is added with osmanthus, so it is named Osmanthus Crisp, and the other is exactly the same filling, the name is Salt and Pepper Crisp." ”

"That's the baggage cake, Xiao Shang said that the name changed is not authentic!" Cai'er said busily.

"Xiao Shang said?" Liu Yiyi immediately grasped the point.

Cai'er's face turned red all of a sudden, her head lowered again, and she said after a while: "Grandpa Shang and Xiao Shang are neighbors in the front and back yards of my aunt, their ancestors and grandchildren are good people, and they make a living by making furoshiki cakes early, just because some people think that the name of furoshiba is not good, which affects the business, Grandpa Shang insists that this is the name handed down by the ancestors and is not allowed to change, or a few days ago, a son surnamed Lin said that gold and silver treasures will be loaded into the baggage, Xiao Shang learned this to every guest who came early, and the business was really better......"

Lin ...... Son? Just one surname made Liu Yiyi's heart beat wildly, "What is Lin Gongzi's name?" Do you know him? ”

"That day, Lu Zhutou brought Lin Gongzi to Xiao Shang's house, Xiao Shang They didn't know Lin Gongzi before, and they didn't see each other again, Xiao Shang said that Lu Zhutou is also a good person, and often takes care of his family's business, but Lin Gongzi is also a good person, and he is smart, that is, he suddenly thought that the burden was loaded with good things, if it was really broken copper and iron, it would have been thrown away...... "That's all Cai'er knows.

Land Catcher ...... Lu Tingqi? The one with him must be Lin Yuxiao, it has been eight days since the last time they met, during which Yue Linfeng came again, but Lin Yuxiao has never shown up, and even Liu Yiyi knocked on the side to inquire about Master Liu, and Master Liu has never seen or heard the whereabouts of the two Qincha outside.

Liu Yiyi still wanted to go out and find it by herself, but she was not familiar with Mengzhou City, and now there was such a big case, Master Liu would not rest assured that she would run out all day long, it was really not as good as Lu Tingqi's close to the water, and she could actually eat breakfast with Lin Yuxiao, which was really envious and jealous.

Looking at Cai'er who turned back and guarded the stove seriously, Liu Yiyi really wanted to keep this little girl, she could make snacks, and she was familiar with Lin Yuxiao's praise for the early shop, and she thought about it with the psychology of a foodie, she would definitely go again if she ate well, so could she borrow the reason to go to Cai'er's house to go to Xiaoshang's house to wait for the "forest"?

"Miss......" Cai'er put the baggage cake on the plate and waited for Liu Yiyi's evaluation.

Liu Yiyi took a piece of chopsticks and examined it with the sight of her peers, the pie crust was golden, the sesame seeds were not burned, and there was a slight bulge, which proved that the filling inside was baked, and there was no break at the folds at both ends and no oil and sugar seeped out, proving that Cai'er not only mastered the heat well, but also made the noodles just right.

Then Liu Yiyi tasted it, huh...... The skin is crispy and the filling is fragrant, which is good.

"Cai'er, with your cooking skills, I want you to enter the Willow Mansion, but I have to repeat it, if you are a slave in the Willow Mansion, you will no longer be free, and your father and mother can't control your life and death and your marriage, so are you willing?" This is not a recruitment, if you don't want to do it, you can resign and leave, this sale is a lifetime of freedom, Liu Yiyi doesn't want to coax other little girls to press their fingerprints.

Ordinary people may really hesitate to consider when they hear these words, but Cai'er's face has a few more brilliance, it seems that Liu Yiyi's words made her happy and strengthened her belief in staying, she nodded heavily: "Miss, Cai'er is willing to stay." ”

Fifteen years old, it is not impossible to distinguish between good and bad, not to mention that the children in ancient times were precocious, Liu Yiyi no longer needs to remind: "You want to come to my side as a personal maid, that is, get up early every day and serve me with Ying'er to freshen up, and then Ying'er is responsible for the work over there, and you are in charge of this small kitchen." ”

"Yes." Cai'er didn't pick it, she waited at home for a large family and was beaten and scolded, here only one waits for food and accommodation and has money to get, and the young lady looks like a good-natured person, and will never punch and kick her just because she is a girl.

Both parties were satisfied, and Liu Yiyi personally took Cai'er to the housekeeper to sign the contract: "Uncle Quan, this is Cai'er, I want her to be a maid ring for me, you can put her on the roster." ”

The movements of the people in the Liu house have always been in his hands, and he knows that Ying'er did not listen to the orders of the young lady in front of the Qin Cha, which made the entire Liu family lose face, and the old man originally wanted to sell Ying'er in a fit of anger, but the young lady was soft-hearted and pleaded, so he fined Ying'er a month's money and asked her to embroider two handkerchiefs.

Ying'er's girl has been eating well, dressing and working well with the eldest lady since she was a child, and she is not a female celebrity at all, but she is still a heartless person, she will not know that she is hiding and tucking, and she is holding a needlework basket and letting others teach her, and she will tell her about offending the old lady by the way.

Ying'er has no heart to defend against people, but how many people have been staring at her position as "Second Miss", and finally this girl has made Miss angry, how many people have taken the opportunity to stuff their seven aunts and eight aunts?

The housekeeper Liu Quan did not have a relative girl of the right age to introduce to the young lady, so he just had to watch from the sidelines, Aunt Wang introduced Cai'er and it didn't matter if anything else, but he didn't greet him as a housekeeper in advance, Liu Quan was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, and saw that the young lady really took a fancy to Cai'er, so he said: "Miss fancy Cai'er is the blessing of this girl, but the major matters before the girl gets married must be decided by her parents, and this document has to be signed by her father." ”

Liu Yiyi sounded reasonable, but Cai'er was uneasy: "Can't my aunt be a guarantor?" ”

Liu Quan first saw that the eldest lady agreed with him, and then insisted: "Whoever is the child of your family will let whoever is in charge, otherwise if your father and mother repented and sued the Shangguan Mansion that our Liu family abducted *, what should we do?" ”

“…… That...... Is it okay for my mother to come? Cai'er tried to ask.

"You can come over to either of your parents." Liu Quan said.

Cai'er rushed to Liu Yiyi: "Miss, Cai'er is going to call her mother, please wait for a day or half a day." ”
