"It's time to prepare lunch?" Li Xin raised his head suddenly.
"If you talk about preparation, you have already prepared. It's just that the young lady just came back, and the kitchen didn't know what the young lady liked to eat, so the kitchen manager sent someone over to ask. First, I asked Miss what she wanted to eat today, and second, I also asked Miss to list her favorite menu and send it to the kitchen, so that the kitchen could prepare three meals a day for Miss. ”
"I see! Let's get a few dishes today! As for the menu, I thought about it, and when it was listed, it was sent away. ”
Caixia also went out first, but Li Xin suddenly wanted to ask about the affairs in the house, so he asked Caiyun to come over.
"By the way, Caiyun, are all the meals in the house cooked in the big kitchen?"
"Why does the young lady ask that? Naturally, the food in the house is cooked in the big kitchen! However, there are exceptions, the old lady's yard has a small kitchen, and the old lady's meals are made separately in the small kitchen. The other masters' meals were taken from the big kitchen. Mrs. felt that opening a small kitchen not only required arranging more people, but also wasting a lot of money, so she did not approve of opening a small kitchen. Only the old lady is not in good health, which is special, so the old lady's yard uses a small kitchen. ”
"I see!" Li Xin smiled. In her past and present lives, she liked to cook very much, and it can be regarded as a habit! As long as she has time, she still likes to cook and eat by herself.
Now, she doesn't have anything to do in the Ling family, and she really has some skills. Moreover, it is strange to see that Old Madam Ling always has no appetite and eats a little bit of food at a meal, so it is strange that her body will get better if she continues like this for a long time. She thought about seeing if she could make something delicious for Old Madam Ling.
Although the Ling family's chef is not bad, no matter how delicious it is, after eating it for a long time, I am afraid that it will get tired. For a change of taste, you may have some appetite!
Since only Old Madam Ling had opened a small kitchen, it seemed that it was impossible to cook in her own yard. She has just arrived at the Ling family, and it is not good to rashly make this kind of request, compare, that is what the Wang family meant, as soon as she came, she wanted to refute the Wang family, the housewife, which was very irrational behavior.
However, maybe she could go to the small kitchen of Songhetang and have a look. Come to think of it, with Mrs. Ling's love for her, she proposed to use the small kitchen, and Mrs. Ling would definitely not refuse!
"Cousin, I've written it, you can take a look." Ling Feifei handed Li Xin all the written words to read. Li Xin took it and looked at it seriously, speaking of which, the Ling family is still strict with children, and Ling Feifei is only so old, she has already learned a lot of words. This is still the case for girls, and it is conceivable that it may be even stricter for boys.
She checked it carefully, and there were really no typos in Ling Feifei's handwriting, and the words were relatively neat. At such a young age, it is naturally impossible to write with any style, as long as you can write neatly.
Speaking of which, it's time for me to practice more words, I haven't used a brush much in my previous life, although I've been practicing for a long time, but the words written are really not good-looking. There are always people who say that their words look like human shapes, and she can't let others read her words and guess that she is an ugly monster!
"Fei Fei writes so well." Li Xin praised with a smile. Hearing her praise, Ling Feifei laughed, happy to see her teeth and eyes.
It didn't take long for Aunt Zhou to send someone to find Ling Feifei to go back, although Ling Feifei was reluctant, she could only go back. Li Xin took her hand and sent her out.
"Cousin, I'll come to play with you another day." When she arrived at the door, Ling Feifei said with a smile.
"Okay, when you're free, come here! If I wasn't in Qiuxia Pavilion, I might be in the old lady's Songhe Hall. If I don't stay in Qiuxia Pavilion, I'll tell you where I've gone. Li Xin smiled and rubbed Ling Feifei's head. This kid is really cute! It really feels like I want to steal it back. Although there are a few younger siblings in the family, there are no less cute children.
"Then I'll go back."
"Go ahead! Bye. Li Xin made a "goodbye" gesture at Ling Feifei.
"Bye-bye." Ling Feifei also responded that this gesture was taught to her by her cousin.
Ling Feifei left, and Li Xin also went to Mrs. Ling's side, and said yes in the morning, and she went over to accompany Mrs. Ling to have dinner at noon. It's also time for lunch, and although it is said that the people in the house do not gather together to eat, there is also an approximate time for cooking in the big kitchen. Therefore, the people in the house still eat almost together.
Aunt Zhou has come to find Ling Feifei to go back for lunch, so naturally other places should also be lunched.
Entering the Songhe Hall, Chun Tao was already waiting for her under the corridor. "Miss Cousin is here, the old lady is waiting for Miss Cousin to eat!" Chun Tao said as she led Li Xin inside.
When she entered the hall, the old lady was already sitting on a chair at the table. Seeing Li Xin coming in, Haitang went out and ordered someone to serve the food.
After lunch, Li Xin accompanied Mrs. Ling to sit in the room and talk. The noon sun is still a little strong, so it's not good to go back to the yard to bask in the sun. Sitting together and talking, Li Xin talked to Mrs. Ling about how she wanted to borrow the small kitchen occasionally.
"Is it that the food cooked by the chef in the house is not appetizing?" Hearing Li Xin say that she wanted to use the small kitchen, Old Madam Ling asked anxiously.
"It's not like that, the chef in the house, the cooking skills are still very good. I just thought that once in a while, I could make something to eat by myself, and it would be a change of appetite! My grandmother always had a bad appetite, too, and I thought I'd see if I could make some appetizers for my grandmother. My grandmother always couldn't eat, so how could she get better! ”
"Good boy, my grandmother knows that you are a good and filial child, but there are so many people waiting in the house! You don't have to work so hard. It's smoky in the kitchen, so don't go. Old Madam Ling took Li Xin's hand and gently patted the back of Li Xin's hand.
"Grandmother, you promise me, grandmother, don't worry, I just occasionally go to make something to eat, and I will definitely not get tired. My grandmother didn't believe in my craftsmanship and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat what I made! ”
"Alright, you kid! If my grandmother doesn't say yes, I don't know what you're going to come up with! ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Li Xin laughed happily.
"You! My grandmother told you to go down and let you go into the kitchen. But! Don't tire yourself out. ”
"Grandmother, don't worry! It definitely won't get tired. ”
"By the way, when you come to the house, don't always come to accompany me, an old woman, and go to play with the good sisters! I'm afraid you haven't studied female workers well over the years, and you're not too young, so it's time to learn. In the past, there was no female elder in your family, but now, as long as you want to learn, there are people in the house who specialize in teaching female workers, and the craft is still very good. Old Madam Ling said. She also listened to Ye'er briefly talk about Xin Yao's life over the years, and she has been carrying Xin Yao's Liuzhu to die early, and Xin Yao has never had a mother around her to teach.
Girls, you can't do anything, but female workers always have to learn well. Therefore, Xin Yao should really study hard. Fortunately, it is very good to teach a few granddaughters and female workers to teach Mama, and you can let Sister Xin also learn together.
"Then in a few days, I'm not very familiar with the house now! In a few days, I'll get acquainted with it, and it's not too late to study with my sisters. Li Xin really didn't think about learning from female workers, because she didn't have this convenient talent in the first place, at most she could simply sew and mend, if it was difficult, she wouldn't.
Second, she really didn't feel the need for this. As long as you have money in your hand, you can't buy any beautiful embroidery! Where do you still use such hard work to embroider. A stitch and a thread, inextricably linked, how much effort to embroider a pair of embroidery, thinking about it makes her feel dizzy.
"Don't you want to learn? In fact, it is not difficult, it is not difficult for those who know everything, and it is not difficult for those who are difficult. As long as you study hard for a while, you can always learn well. In the future, I won't talk about how good the needlework is, at least, I must be able to make two close-fitting clothes for my family! ”
"Alright! Don't talk about my grandmother. After two days, I will go to see Mama Xi in person. "Old Madam Ling has said everything about this, and Li Xin can only agree. In fact, Mrs. Ling's words are also right, not to mention how much you have learned, at least you have to be able to do it! She also hopes to make a dress for her family by herself, not to mention what it looks like, it can be regarded as her own heart!
"If you're willing to learn, when you're going to go, let Begonia accompany you!"
After talking with Old Madam Ling for a while, Li Xin went back to Caixia Pavilion first. When it was time to prepare dinner, she went to the small kitchen of Songhetang. Old Madam Ling had already asked people to talk to the kitchen, so she was not surprised to see Li Xin coming.
"You don't have to worry about me, just do what you have to do! I just make two things myself. Li Xin said with a smile. After saying that, she walked around the kitchen, although it was a small kitchen, in fact, the area was not very small. The scale is not small, and there are many types of vegetables in it. A small kitchen is of this scale, and I don't know what a big kitchen looks like!
She spun around, picked out a few needed ingredients, and went to work on them. The people in the kitchen looked at each other and saw that she really didn't need help, so they went their separate ways. Li Xin is a person who is used to cooking, and when he starts cooking, his hands and feet are very quick, and he quickly handles all the ingredients he needs.
