The small cross-courtyard where Lu Zhu lived was next to the courtyard where Fu Heng lived. And his small kitchen, naturally, is not far from his residence, through an alley, walking dozens of steps away.

When they arrived, it was clear that the kitchen had just finished busy, and the three men in the kitchen were cleaning up the pots and pans they had just used. Seeing Mama Wu coming in, she hurriedly stopped, with a smile on her face, and called: "Mama Wu." ”

Lu Zhu walked in after Mama Wu, stood quietly and silently, carefully looking at the three people in front of him and the situation in the small kitchen.

The man standing next to the desk should be the old Wang that Mama Wu once said. This old king is in his forties, with a good appearance, wearing a dark brown muslin shirt, and the whole person looks very neat. The table made of bluestone slabs has just been wiped with water and is clean. There is a wooden basin in the middle, and some bird's nests are placed in the wooden basin.

And next to the stove, holding a rag and a broom in their hands, are two mothers-in-law in their fifties. Although the two of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes, they were also dressed up like Lao Wang, clean and tidy.

The kitchen is big but very clean. Everything was neatly organized, and there was no mess at all.

Seeing the green bamboo, the two mothers-in-law were still there, and the smile on the old king's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he had been pushed by a bulldozer. With a cold snort in his nose, he turned around and continued to tending to the bird's nest in his hand.

Seeing Lao Wang's attitude, Mama Wu's originally professional smile stiffened. Then, as if nothing had happened, he pointed to the green bamboo and said, "This is the green bamboo, and it is the special cook of the childe." In the future, I will work with you, everyone should be considerate of each other, and don't make anything unusual. ”

Lao Wang didn't roll his eyelids, and continued to do what he was doing as if he hadn't heard. The other two mothers-in-law were full of smiles and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, Mama Wu can rest assured." ”

"This is Lao Wang, and the fish fillets he makes are the most popular with the son." After beating Lao Wang and the two mothers-in-law, Mama Wu turned around and introduced everyone to Luzhu.

"Uncle Wang, please take care of me in the future." Midoriku smiled and said hello. Lao Wang can ignore her, but she can't be rude. It's weak or not. Not on this greeting.

Moreover, she also understood Mama Wu's voice. Mama Wu probably wants her and Lao Wang, like Yu Jiaoxi and Ma Jiaoxi, to cook their own dishes. The well water does not interfere with the river water, and do not lightly cross the thunder pool.

"This is Mrs. Li, this is Mrs. Ma. They have been working with Lao Wang in the kitchen for many years. Mama Wu introduced two more mothers-in-law.

In other words, these two smiling mothers-in-law are in the same group as Lao Wang?

Luzhu thought to himself, and on the surface, he didn't show it at all and politely greeted them one by one.

"Now that we know each other. After that, we will take good care of each other. Mama Wu turned around and said to Luzhu. Let's go, I'll take you to the big kitchen. ”

The large kitchen is in the outer courtyard for one person. When Lu Zhu followed Mama Wu in, he saw two young men chasing each other in the yard, and a few other people were holding bowls, watching and having fun.

Mama Wu showed a sincere smile on her face and shouted, "Zhou Qing, Zhou Yun, you two are noisy again." ”

The two young men chased in front of Mama Wu and stopped. Panting and called, "Mama Wu." Then when he saw the green bamboo behind him, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile to Mama Wu: "Mama Wu, when did you bring such a beautiful little girl?" ”

The smile on Mama Wu's face was retracted, and she reached out and knocked on the head of the young man who spoke, and said, "It's all nonsense." He raised his voice again and introduced: "This is Childe's special cook, called Green Bamboo." ”

"Hello everyone." Green Bamboo smiled.

"Wow, this girl is so smart, compared to the girl who listens to the rain. It's all the same. A tall aunt standing at the door of the kitchen was full of admiration when she saw the green bamboo.

"Aunt Zhou, hurry up and marry you back to be your daughter-in-law." A man shouted.

Everyone laughed out loud.

"Su Ergou, you are going to die. The girl of the family is thin-skinned. Can you stand up to your jokes? If you have the ability, you go and listen to the jokes of the rain girl. Aunt Zhou scolded with a smile, walked over and took Luzhu's hand, and said, "Luzhu girl, don't pay attention to these babies." They are all rough people. It's usually a joke, don't take it seriously. ”

"Aunt Zhou, I'm fine." Green Bamboo smiled. These people, though rude, made her feel concerned. In Xiajia Village, aren't those uncles and aunts like this? She prefers to stay here than the oppressive little kitchen in the inner courtyard.

"Listen up, everybody." Mama Wu heard Su Ergou's joke and raised her voice, "The green bamboo girl has superb cooking skills, and the son values her very much." She came to eat in this outer courtyard, and she was not allowed to make jokes about her. ”

"Yes, don't dare anymore." Su Ergou hurriedly said.

After such a while, Luzhu recognized the people in the yard almost the same, and they were paired with Mama Wu's introduction last night. She followed Mama Wu and took the meal, then took the bowl and walked back. That Aunt Zhou didn't know if she was guilty or really wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, and when she was cooking, the meat and vegetables were half a spoonful more than Mama Wu's. made the green bamboo glance at Mama Wu in the afterglow, and Xie was not very embarrassed.

Holding a bowl and saying goodbye to Mama Wu at the mouth of the alley, Luzhu slowly returned to his small courtyard, sat at the round table and ate the meal, and fetched well water to wash his clothes, and then looked at the verdant grass and trees in the courtyard and his simple room in a daze. I finally stayed up until dark, then I went to bed and meditated for an hour, then lay down and fell asleep.

On the next day, the green bamboo woke up as usual at the beginning of the day. When I arrived in the yard, I finished fetching water and washed up and practiced boxing twice, and then walked to the small kitchen. Today is the first time she is on duty to make breakfast for Fu Heng, and it is always good to go there early to prepare.

When she arrived at the door of the small kitchen, she was stunned for a moment: the kitchen was not locked.

It's a small courtyard where she doesn't even have anything, and Mama Wu told her to lock the door when she enters and exits last night, but this place for eating, and the small kitchen where bird's nest was soaked last night, didn't lock the door? It's weird!

Luzhu was vigilant and didn't take the liberty to push the door. My heart was racing and I was wondering what the consequences would be. What if the old king wanted to hurt her, moved everything away, and then relied on her to steal it? This small kitchen was the first to arrive, and if I lost something, I was naturally the most suspicious.

But what if you turn around and leave now? Now that she has arrived here, although no one has seen it, she doesn't believe that since someone else has set up this game. When she turns around and goes back, she won't meet anyone halfway! If she had turned around and met her, she would have been even more indescribable.

Besides, it's her turn to make breakfast today, and that's when it's a little bit. Fu Heng didn't see breakfast coming, and the punishment was inevitable.

The kitchen had lost something, and she could argue with it. After all, what kind of person she is, Fu Heng, the biggest boss of this house, is clear. She was unfamiliar with life and stole things. Where can they be hidden? Fu Heng, who has set up secret sentinels everywhere in the villa, she doesn't believe that all the movements in this house can escape his eyes! However, this is if the breakfast is not made on time. The guilt was real, and it was all her fault.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, stretched out her hand, and pushed the door directly in.

The kitchen door opened, and there was no one inside. The tables, chairs and benches are still as clean and tidy as last night.

It's just that it's too clean, isn't it? Bird's nest on the desk. It's gone at this point; The various ingredients I saw last night in the kitchen cabinet are also gone at this time.

Lu Zhu opened the cabinets and jars and looked at them, but there was nothing but a jar of pickles and a little rice pickled in the corner.

Could it be that when it was her turn to make breakfast, she had to get the ingredients from Steward Zhang? But she didn't know if she was a newcomer, Steward Zhang should have told her last night? Mama Wu took her to the small kitchen, and she squeaked at the time, right? Now early in the morning, she doesn't know where Steward Zhang lives, so she can't go around looking for Steward Zhang to get the ingredients, right? When will you get the ingredients back?

She raised an eyebrow. scooped out the rice, washed it and put it on the stove, preparing to do this A bowl of white rice porridge and a kimchi for Fu Heng to eat.

She is not a bitter cauliflower, why was she bullied and knocked out her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach? This Fu Heng's back house is so chaotic. dared to guard and steal and do things that were dirty and framed. If she didn't let Fu Heng know, he thought that this place was stable, united, and extremely harmonious. Aren't these people jealous because Fu Heng reuses her? Then she will let them see if her backer is Fu Heng!

But as soon as she sat down and was about to make a fire, she realized that the firewood was also wet.

Nima, these people. It's too much!

She stood up and walked out. She remembered that when Mama Wu took her to the outer courtyard yesterday, Lao Gao built a pile of firewood under the eaves at the door of the big kitchen, brought some back, and cooked the porridge.

When I walked near the big kitchen, I heard a greeting from not far away: "Green bamboo girl, morning." ”

Midoritake looked up and saw that it was one of the young men who had been playing in the big kitchen yesterday. It seems that it should be Zhou Yun, the second son of the Zhou family.

"Early." Midoriku smiled. Remembering that this firewood should be in a big kitchen, he had to say hello to the Zhou family and his wife, so he said, "You are Zhou Yun, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, I am Zhou Yun." Zhou Yun didn't expect this new girl to know his name, so she was so excited that her face turned red, and she trotted all the way over, and said very enthusiastically: "Miss Green Bamboo, do you have anything to help?" ”

"That's right, I was going to make breakfast for my son today, and I found that there was nothing in the kitchen except for some rice and a jar of kimchi, and even the firewood was wet. Zhou Yun, do you know what to do? ”

"Ah, how can this be?" Zhou Yun was very surprised, and then looked at the green bamboo with deep meaning, "The ingredients in the small kitchen have always been very abundant, and the slightest shortage will be made up immediately." Yesterday, when my son came back, I went out to buy a lot of things, and handed them over to Steward Zhang. You have to ask Lao Wang about this question, the ingredients in the small kitchen have always been kept by him. ”

Lu Zhu nodded, and then looked at Zhou Yun with some surprise: "You bought all the ingredients in this mansion?" ”

Zhou Yun was a little proud, and scratched his head a little shyly: "The things in this mansion are all purchased by me now." If the green bamboo girl wants something to buy, just look for me. ”

"That's great." Luzhu said happily, "I really have something for you to buy." When I think of what I want to buy, I'll come to you. He pointed to the firewood and said, "I'll take some firewood to cook, it should be fine, right?" ”

"No problem, no problem, you just hold it. Otherwise, I'll help you. Zhou Yun said, and stepped forward with his sleeves rolled.

"No need. I don't take too much, just enough to cook a pot of porridge, don't bother you. "Yesterday, Su Ergou made fun of her, Luzhu didn't want to be too close to this Zhou Yun, and caused a lot of gossip.

After taking the firewood back to the kitchen, the fire was raised, and the porridge was slowly boiled, and the green bamboo sandwiched some sour radish and capers from the kimchi jar, cut them carefully, and mixed them with sesame oil, which was a dish for rice. When the porridge was ready, she put it in a clean small jar, filled the tray with kimchi and chopsticks, picked it up and went to the main courtyard.

Although she did not serve Fu Heng when she was in the villa, she also knew a lot of Fu Heng's habits from Yu Jiaoxi's mouth. Last night, unless he never came home, life was very regular. I get up at dawn, and then I want to practice if I can't move. After practicing and taking a bath, you have to eat breakfast.

So in any case, her breakfast is going to be delivered at this time. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty.

As soon as she went out, she saw Ma Pozi and Li Pozi walking towards her at the other end of the alley. Seeing the green bamboo, Ma Pozi's face showed surprise and exclaimed, "Isn't this the green bamboo girl?" Why are you going early in the morning? ”

"You're serving breakfast here, aren't you? Don't you know, Childe didn't come back last night, don't you have to make breakfast today? Mrs. Li said in a long voice.

Lin Xiaoxing didn't stop at all, and said with a smile: "It's okay. I didn't get a notice that I didn't need to do this breakfast, so I naturally had to do it well, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty. The two aunts walked slowly, and I brought breakfast first. ”

The faces of the two mothers-in-law froze. Or Mrs. Li reacted quickly, stretched out her hand to take the tray in Luzhu's hand, and said with a smile: "This matter of delivering breakfast, where do you need to bother the girl to go in person?" Come, give it to me, I'll send it. But I didn't say it, Miss Green Bamboo, I'm afraid I'm going to give away breakfast for nothing. Childe, he's not at home. ”

Where is Luzhu willing to let her take over? Twisted his waist to avoid her hand, and said lightly on his face: "Don't work Aunt Li." I'm young, and it's nothing to walk around, and there's nothing to lose even if it's given away for nothing. Without further ado, he walked through the two of them.

The two mothers-in-law looked at the back of the green bamboo walking farther and farther away, and then glanced at each other, their expressions were a little solemn.

Ma Pozi said: "In my opinion, let's forget it." If the son knew about this, the punishment would not be small. Didn't you listen to Mama Wu last night? This green bamboo is a special cook ordered by the son, and it is not something that we little people can afford to offend. (To be continued.) )
