Chapter Ninety-Three: Thrifty
Halfway through, the maid came over to invite Qingyun to dinner.
Qingyun didn't raise her head and said, "I'm not hungry, you guys go eat." ”
Qingying smiled, "The girl has eaten, but she doesn't eat much during the day, and she will definitely be hungry at night, so she will keep the food first and eat it as a supper at night." ”
Qingyun didn't speak, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
This busy, from just seeing the sunset, busy to the early lights, and then to the starry sky.
Qingyun has a lot of things to do, she has to help Princess Ning prepare fetal pills.
When she finished her busy work and left the pharmacy, she was tired and had back pain.
The magpie locked, and the green warbler said, "Back to the house in a while, the slave and maid will help the girl pinch and soothe it." ”
Qingyun didn't speak, and the magpie scolded Qingying and said, "Don't harm the girl, there are bruises on the girl's body." ”
Qingying's face was dry, "Who harmed the girl?!" ”
Her voice was very loud, and in the silence of the night, it suddenly sounded, and the frightened magpie slapped it directly on the chest.
Qingyun walked back to the house.
When the curtain was opened and I entered the house, I smelled the smell of food, which made people have a great appetite.
On the brazier, the meal is warmed.
The magpie hurriedly washed his hands and helped Qingyun bring the meal to the table.
Dinner was sumptuous, with pork ribs in sauce and vinegar, roasted sea bass in sauce, stir-fried chicken hearts in sauce, and a bowl of duck soup with green vegetables.
When the meal was ready, the magpie stood aside and said, "The big kitchen said that the girl was frightened today and wanted to make up for it, so she prepared chicken, duck and fish." ”
Qingyun looked at the dishes on the table, and had to say that compared with what she usually eats, it was indeed hearty.
But it's all soy sauce, her face is injured now, if you don't want to leave a scar, it's best not to eat soy sauce, the big kitchen is good, and she is specially prepared to cook dishes with sauce, I'm afraid she won't leave a scar.
Qingyun lost her appetite at all, waved her hand and said, "Don't eat, put the food in the food box." Ming'er took it to show the old lady. ”
The magpie and the green warbler looked at Qingyun with wide eyes, and raised their voices, "Poisonous in the dish?" ”
The corners of Qingyun's mouth twitched, and he stroked his forehead. "It's not poisonous."
The Bofu has not yet restored the Marquis, and there are secret guards from the Zhennan Marquis Mansion in the shadows, who dares to poison her?
Qingyun was tired, washed up, and fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
Wake up the next day. The pain in my body was much lighter.
Wash and comb, sit in front of the bronze mirror, look at yourself in the mirror, the scar is a little dazzling.
Qingying stood aside, holding two scarves in her hands.
One side is goose yellow, and the other side is sky blue.
Qingyun was wearing a goose yellow skirt with a sky-blue waist around her waist, so Qingyun took a sky-blue scarf to cover it.
Looking at the person in the mirror again, his eyes are full of spring water, and his face is like congealed cream. If the shoulders are cut, the waist is like a prime, the muscles are like coagulated fat, and the air is like a quiet orchid.
Cover a scarf, adding three points of temptation, people can't help but wonder what kind of alluring appearance is under the scarf.
Breakfast was the same as before, there was no difference, Qingyun ate a bowl of porridge and a few exquisite shrimp dumplings. took the magpie to Chunhui Courtyard to greet the old lady.
She went a little late, and Zhou Ziting and Mu Qingzhi were already chatting with the old lady to relieve their boredom.
Seeing Qingyun coming in, and the magpie was still carrying a food box in her hand, Zhou Ziting smiled. "Third cousin, what good things did you bring to honor your grandmother?"
Qingyun stepped forward and said in an ordinary tone, "I'm not here to honor my grandmother, I'm here to sue." ”
Zhou Ziting raised her eyebrows and said in a long voice. "Who is the third cousin going to sue?"
"Big kitchen," Qingyun replied.
Zhou Ziting raised her eyebrows, the third cousin's complaint against the big kitchen is fake, it's the eldest lady, the big kitchen is just a group of dogs, listening to people's orders, and acting according to people's faces.
Qingyun blessed the old lady to say goodbye.
The old lady's face was slightly gloomy, and she asked, "What's wrong with the big kitchen?" ”
Qingyun glanced at the magpie, and the magpie stepped forward and handed the food box over.
Mother Sun came over, took the food box, and opened it to show the old lady.
The meals in the big kitchen were well done, even if they were cold, they tasted good.
Looking at the dishes in the food box, Mother Sun's face changed, "The third girl's face is injured, how can the big kitchen use such a heavy sauce to cook vegetables ......." ”
Qingyun looked at the old lady and said, "Qingyun and the maid are young, and there are many things they don't understand, if it weren't for the secret guard saying that I can't eat this dish, I would have eaten it all stupidly." ”
Originally, the old lady's face sank when she saw those plates of dishes.
Hearing Qingyun say this again, his face suddenly pulled up.
If you have a plate of pork ribs roasted with sauce, it can be said that you didn't pay attention, but three plates of dishes roasted with sauce are said to be coincidences, who believes it?
The old lady was furious, and ordered, "Get me the big kitchen manager!" ”
The maid went to spread the word to the big kitchen steward.
Zhou Ziting looked at Qingyun and asked, "Third cousin, early in the morning, the kitchen will bring you these foods?" ”
Qingyun sat there and shook her head, "It's yesterday's dinner." ”
Zhou Ziting looked at those dishes again and said, "These dishes, it seems that they haven't been touched, you didn't eat them last night?" ”
Qingyun shook her head, "Don't dare to eat." ”
The old lady sat there, fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand, unable to hide her anger.
Soon, the maid invited the big kitchen steward.
The one who came in was a white-looking mother, her husband's surname was Chen, and she was the second-class steward of the outer courtyard, so everyone called her Mother Chen.
She looked calm and not flustered at all.
She stepped forward, greeted the old lady, and asked, "Is the old lady looking for a slave?" ”
The old lady pointed to the food box on the table and said, "This is the meal prepared by the big kitchen for the third girl?" ”
Mother Chen glanced at the food, then shook her head and said, "No, the menu I prepared yesterday is a meal prepared for the five girls, the five girls lost their appetite at noon, and they didn't eat much, saying that their mouths were boring, and the slave maid planned to cook a few dishes with sauce to appetize the five girls." ”
Chen's mother just said a word, and Qingyun knew what she was going to say next.
No wonder he was so calm when he entered the door, his face did not change, he was not flustered, and he dared to think of his rhetoric earlier.
These dishes are actually not prepared for Qingyun, but for Mu Qingrou.
The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Mu Qingrou was punished by the old lady to kneel in the Buddha Hall, during the punishment of kneeling, she couldn't eat and drink, the Bofu advocated frugality, Mu Qingrou didn't eat, and Qingyun was frightened, the old lady told the kitchen to make something good and recuperate for her.
It just so happens that these meals are appetizing and hearty, so they are directly brought to Qingyun, and they are not wasted, the best of both worlds.
There is something wrong with the big kitchen, and the fault is that it is too frugal.
It's really hard to punish such a mistake.
Qingyun snorted coldly in her heart, but her face smiled gently, "It turned out to be a mistake, I thought that someone deliberately burned a few plates of sauce for me, and I wanted to make a big deal out of it without a head, so as to give the big kitchen a wake-up call, lest the Bofu be careless in the future and lose face in front of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, however, my share is four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, I can't imagine that the fifth sister's meal is much more hearty than mine, chicken, duck and fish, better than my grandmother's food." ”
This time, Chen's mother's face turned white.
She made a fuss about frugality, and Qingyun grabbed Mu Qingrou for eating too extravagantly.
In terms of identity, Qingyun is more noble than Mu Qingrou, and she eats better than Mu Qingrou.
As a result, she ate it for Mu Qingrou, and she couldn't eat it, so it was her turn.
Chen's mother had sweat on her forehead, and she argued, "The big kitchen doesn't cook these meals for the five girls all at once, the five girls didn't have a good appetite yesterday, so they ......." ”
Qingyun was funny, "I only know that if you have a bad appetite, you shouldn't cook greasy dishes, but some light side dishes, which are more appetizing, Chen's mother is a big kitchen manager, and she doesn't even know the most basic common sense, how to help the masters in the house recuperate?" ”
Qingyun said two words lightly, and directly raised the question to whether Chen's mother could be qualified as a kitchen manager.
It's good for her to be thrifty, but she can't use the ingredients correctly, and it's even more wasteful.
