Chapter 31: Wine Exchange
Xiao Cui took the wine bottle and nodded seriously;
"Don't worry, miss, the slave will definitely complete the task."
"Go ahead."
Xiao Cui didn't say anything more, went into the kitchen to get the food box and hid the small wine bottle in her arms, and turned to leave.
After walking along the winding path for about ten minutes, Cui turned left and walked towards another road. Slowly, there were more pedestrians on the road. These are all maids and maids in each courtyard, all of whom have come to get dinner from their masters or subordinates. Xiao Cui walked to the kitchen as if nothing had happened. At the door of the kitchen, I met Xiaoqing, who also came to get dinner, thinking of Li Liping's instructions, Xiaocui immediately sank her face and said loudly in a sour tone;
"Yo yo yo, isn't this our little sister of Rong Yuan? How? After climbing the high branches, shouldn't you become the personal maid of the eldest lady, why do you still have to do these rough jobs like me. ”
The people around looked at the two of them with their eyes when they heard this, and turned their heads habitually. In the past few months, whenever Xiao Cui sees Xiao Qing, she will be sarcastic like this, but Xiao Qing is silent. They're all commonplace, and there's nothing new about them!
However, Xiaoqing, who originally thought that he would be silent as usual, startled everyone.
"Hmph, even a rough girl is better than staying in Rongyuan. People go to high places, and they eat well, dress well, and live well every day here in the eldest lady, why don't I go? It's my honor that the eldest lady likes me, and you can't go even if you want to. Xiao Qing looked at Xiao Cui with disdain.
Although Xiao Cui knew that Xiao Qing would act again, Xiao Cui, who was honest, was still so angry that her face was flushed when she heard this.
"You are a traitor, it is a shame that Aunt Liu saved you in the first place, I knew that it was better to save a dog."
When everyone saw the two arguing, they all stayed in place excitedly to watch the play. At the same time, they all showed contempt for Xiaoqing. The most important thing as a maid is not how capable you are, but how loyal you are. But Xiaoqing not only betrayed his master, but also spoke so unashamedly and justifiably. They all look down on such people, but they don't say much, they are bored to death every day in this inner house, why not do it if there is a drama to watch.
"How am I a traitor? Although I am said to be Aunt Liu's person, isn't Aunt Liu a person from the Li Mansion? I serve the eldest lady and Aunt Liu both work for the Li Mansion, how can this be a traitor? Hmph, I didn't care about you for the sake of working together for so long, you really thought I was a soft persimmon and pinched if I wanted to? I'm telling you, if you scold me again, I won't beat you up when the time comes! ”
Xiao Qing yelled at Xiao Cui fiercely, no longer paid attention to Xiao Cui, and took the lead in the kitchen.
When everyone saw that there was no drama to watch, they all dispersed in a hurry and entered the kitchen. Xiao Cui stomped her feet angrily and followed into the kitchen.
The kitchen in the Li Mansion is very large, at least about 200 square meters. On one side is the cooktop, and on the other side is the worktop. As the kitchen steward, Mrs. Wang sat on the side at this time, watching the people below fetch dinner for each courtyard. Seeing Xiaocui coming in, Mrs. Wang glanced at it with disdain, and then turned her head over.
Mrs. Wang is about fifty years old, and although she is in charge of the kitchen with plenty of oil and water, she is extremely thin. She is the companion who came with the Chen family from her mother's house, and in addition to the Chen family's personal mother, she is the most valued person by the Chen family. Otherwise, she would not have given her this important position, and she would have also given her the matter of torturing Tuan Tuan, which shows her important position in Chen's heart. So she can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in the Li Mansion.
Although she has recently been instructed by the eldest lady not to make things difficult for them anymore, it is impossible for her status to greet Xiaocui with a smile.
Xiaocui doesn't care about this at all, so many troubles have come over before, and this disdain is nothing.
The reason why Xiaocui looked at Mrs. Wang at first glance as soon as she entered the kitchen was of course not to please her, but to look at the desk next to her. Then Xiaocui was happy, sure enough! On the desk was the wine bottle of Mrs. Wang. Because Mrs. Wang is a good drinker and will take a sip at any time, she usually puts the wine bottle on the table to make it easier for her to use. Anyone who frequents the kitchen knows this habit.
Because of the commotion at the door just now, everyone rushed into the kitchen, making the kitchen crowded.
"Slow down, slow down, one by one. You little hooves, you just watched the excitement and had fun, now why are you in a hurry? Want to tire out the old lady? "This is the second kitchen steward who is distributing food to everyone, Zeng Mama.
"Oh, Mother Zeng, let me get it first, we have to help Miss tidy up after dinner." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid said. This is the maid in Li Lijing's yard, and Li Lijing will exchange yards with Li Lirong the day after tomorrow, so they have been cleaning up for the past two days.
"Yes, we have to clean up in the yard, and let me take it first." Xiaoqing also said loudly at this time.
As soon as they heard what the two of them said, the others stopped doing it, why did they have to go first, so they didn't agree. So soon a crowd was clamoring.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang, who was originally sitting still, had no choice but to stand up and come to the desk to help.
Great, this is the opportunity. Seeing Mrs. Wang leave the wine bottle, Xiaocui immediately pretended to be squeezed to the side of the desk, and blocked everyone's sight with her body, quickly exchanged the two wine bottles with lightning speed, and then returned to the crowd as if nothing happened.
After completing the task, Xiaocui was happy in her heart, but her face was not obvious. When it was her turn, Mrs. Wang said in a weird way;
"Why didn't you make it yourself today and come here to eat a big pot of rice?"
"Hehe, isn't this the young lady watching the slave and maid work hard, let the slave and maid be lazy today. Steward Wang, you are busy first, and the slave and maid will go back. In order not to arouse suspicion, all I said to the outside world was Xiaocui's cooking.
When Xiaocui walked away, Mrs. Wang said viciously;
"Oh, it's not a young lady's life, but it's still very expensive. Still look down on my big pot of rice? Hmph, look how long you can enjoy it, do you really think this little food is so delicious? ”
For Xiaocui to often take the ingredients back and make them by herself recently, Wang Pozi and the others didn't think so much. Thinking that it was just that the eldest lady had just treated them better, she didn't know that the sky was high and the sun was thick and played the young lady's temper, and she looked down on the big pot of rice and asked Xiaocui to cook it for her alone. Because this is not too much of a request, for the sake of planning, so the Chen family asked Mrs. Wang to meet them, otherwise it would not be so easy. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― two more arrived. Ask for a ticket.
