Chapter 279: Troubles

Lu Shuqi has already arrived, and someone has already come to the door to propose marriage.

Now let her learn to manage the wine banquet, and in the future, when she marries into her mother-in-law's house, she can meet such a scene calmly and handy, so that she will not be looked down upon by her mother-in-law's family.

The eldest lady's intentions are clear.

Mrs. Lu didn't refuse, but said, "That's okay, then call her too." Take advantage of this opportunity, you can also teach her well, don't marry into your in-law's family in the future, you won't know anything, and you will lose face in vain. ”

The eldest lady responded with a smile and hurriedly sent someone to invite Lu Shuqi over.

Lu Shuyi sat on the small table of pear blossom wood, holding a pen in her mouth, looking very worried.

Mr. Bai is very picky about eating, can the chef of the Lu family make what he likes to eat?

She frowned and pondered, tilted her head and asked Dongmei, "What do you think of the red stewed quail?" ”

She remembered that Mr. Bai liked to eat quails, which were very tender and had a good taste.

Dongmei smiled bitterly and reminded: "Third Miss, quails are not good this season, right?" ”

Lu Shuyi exhaled and nodded in disappointment: "That's right, the weather is so cold, there shouldn't be quails on the market." ”

She lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment, then brightened her eyes and said, "What about the steamed shad anchovies?" ”

Mr. Bai also likes to eat this dish.

In her previous life, Mr. Bai took her south to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and she ate it once in Yipinlou in Yangzhou Mansion, and the taste was beautiful.

Dongmei smiled bitterly again: "This anchovy is not a fish of this season, it must be difficult to find ...... now."

Yes, anchovy is only available in summer, and it is mostly found in the south, and now it is not yet spring, so it is impossible to find this fish at all.

Lu Shuyi's expression was gloomy again, and she couldn't put down the pen for a long time while biting the pen, so she only sighed: "It's really difficult, the dishes you want to come up with are not easy to make without ingredients, and the ones that can be made are not delicious......

Mama You smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous, it's the first time you helped the old lady do such a thing, even if you don't do it well, there is an old lady to guide you." He added: "Generally, most of the banquets like this are four cold dishes and eight hot dishes. And the eight hot dishes are divided into four meat and four vegetarian dishes, these dishes are not limited to anything, as long as they can conform to the identity of the Lu family and do not lose face. ”

“…… Of course, a guest like Mr. Bai is also a distinguished guest, you can add two more dishes, and then add a hot soup, this table is basically enough. ”

"As for dim sum, you can have four or five kinds, not too much, as long as they are exquisite and beautiful."

She knows all the rules that Mama You said, but she wants Mr. Bai to eat better, and she doesn't want to be perfunctory.

She still smiled and thanked Mama You: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Mama You said with a kind face: "You are still young, if you experience such things more in the future, you will not be so worried." ”

Lu Shuyi smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll write as you say." ”

She finally ordered a few dishes that Mr. Bai liked to eat, and added a few dishes that the Lu family's chef was good at, and then handed over the written menu to Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu looked at it carefully, thought about it again, and said, "Replace the shrimp and bamboo shoots with tangerine peel beef beef." She said: "The shrimp in this season are not delicious enough, and the taste is much inferior to other seasons, so don't put them out." ”

Lu Shuyi nodded: "Then change it according to what you say." ”

"Well, the other dishes are arranged very well, especially this one is rising step by step and booming, the meaning is very good." Mrs. Lu smiled and handed the menu to Mama Qian, and explained: "Let the kitchen do this, tell them, and there will be a reward for doing a good job." ”

Mama Qian answered.

Mrs. Lu took Lu Shuyi's hand and let her take a few steps forward, and praised with a smile: "You did a good job." ”

Lu Shuyi smiled modestly and said slowly: "This is thanks to Mama You's suggestion, otherwise I don't know how many dishes to put in." ”

Mama You hurriedly said, "This is what a slave should do. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled and said steadily: "You are an old lady, and you will have to mention more three girls in the future, she is young and has not experienced many things." ”

After finishing speaking, he took off a red silver ring inlaid with rubies on his hand and gave it to Mama You.

Mama You has never been rewarded by Mrs. Lu, and this is the first time.

She was really flattered, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's all within the slave's share, and the slave doesn't do anything......"

"Give it to you, and you'll take it." Mrs. Lu asked Le'er to hand the ring to Mama You, and said, "You will have to do more in the third girl's room in the future." ”

Mama You was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Lu never cared about their room before, but now her attitude has changed drastically.

Is it because of Mr. Bai?

Whether you are favored or not, there are really interests involved.

Mama You respectfully took the ring in Le'er's hand: "Thank you for the old lady's reward, the slave will definitely serve the third lady with all her heart in the future." ”

Mrs. Lu nodded with satisfaction.

At that time, there was no one else in the house, so she broke away from a group of maids and women, leaving only Lu Shuyi to speak.

She opened her mouth and talked about the kiss she gave Chai Xiu'e in the morning: "...... You also know that our Lu family still relies on the power of the He family in some places, and I can't refuse the request of Second Mrs. He. Old Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Shuyi out of the corner of her eyes, and continued: "Although this thing didn't work out, I'm always afraid that I have scared Xiu'e's child, she is timid, and there are no relatives around, I am afraid that she has been wronged and has nowhere to go, and she feels uncomfortable in her heart......"

Mrs. Lu was euphemistically inquiring about Chai Xiu'e's situation.

It's probably because Mr. Bai is here.

Mrs. Lu was afraid that Chai Xiu'e would be full of grievances because of the morning's incident, and she might cry when she saw Mr. Bai later, and Mr. Bai's impression of the Lu family would definitely be greatly discounted, and maybe she would take Chai Xiu'e back.

If that's the case, it will be difficult to catch up with this elusive Mr. Bai in the future.

“…… How is she feeling? What did I say to you? Old Mrs. Lu was calm, and looked at Lu Shuyi without blinking.

Lu Shuyi's heart was clear, and she only frowned and said: "She was in a very bad mood after she went back, and she cried a lot, and her eyes were swollen from crying." ”

Old Mrs. Lu's face sank when she heard this, her eyebrows shrank by two inches, and she said with a worried face: "Really? So what can she say about me? ”

"Uh...... This ......" Lu Shuyi had a speechless expression, hanging the old lady Lu's appetite.

Mrs. Lu became more and more anxious, and urged: "Don't worry, whatever she said, you will tell me word for word, even if there is anything unpleasant, I will not be angry." ”R1152
