Chapter 147: Guests

Want to get a kitchenette?

In the eyes of ordinary people, getting a small kitchen is nothing more than finding someone who is good at cooking, getting a stove to move some firewood, and then making some pots and pans yourself.

Obviously, Miss Ruyao is definitely not among them.

Xiao Gu knew that Bihe would not be whimsical, so he didn't interject and waited quietly for her to follow.

Sure enough, Bihe didn't say anything, and brought a round furnace with white bamboo inlaid copper rings from outside the door, which was delicate and small and surrounded by seals, but at a glance it was a tea stove used in the boudoir study.

"We've changed it slightly, and it should be able to be used for hot dishes."

When she said this, she blushed a little, obviously thinking that this was a bit difficult for a strong man.

Xiao Gu was slightly stunned, and after carefully looking at the place where the charcoal was filled was indeed carefully cleaned, the base deepened and the flue was bigger, she smiled and comforted: "It's enough." ”

Facing Bihe's slightly stunned expression, she explained: "I can only stew meat or boil soup as much as possible, and it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to stir-fry vegetables on a fierce fire." ”

"That's enough! My young lady is not very picky, as long as the meal is hot, she won't have a stomachache. ”

Bihe's happy voice was slightly higher, and she found that she spit out her fragrant tongue, and her eyes were crooked with a smile, which was extremely pretty and cute.

Xiao Gu also felt slightly sorry when he looked at it, the young lady of the noble marquis, because of her young age, couldn't even get a hot meal.

"Don't worry, my cooking skills are passable, I should be able to do it."

Xiao Gu simply took care of everything, but then he was a little strange, "Chu Lan is more careful than me, haven't you gone to her before?" ”

Bihe showed a very strange expression when she heard this, struggled again and again, and finally said weakly: "Have you never tasted the food she cooked?" ”

"Of course I did. The porridge and cakes we ate were all left cold, and she simmered them on the stove. ”

Bihe hesitated again and again, and finally said: "She went down to cook, and she killed the salt seller." ”

Xiao Gu was stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he suddenly fell on the bed laughing, and the whole person couldn't get up.

Bihe also laughed, and said: "Actually, at the beginning, Mother Qin wanted Chu Lan to make it, but I didn't expect her to put down a bowl of noodles and look at the color, flavor, and taste, Qingyi almost choked to death when she took it up." ”

I really didn't expect it. Chu Lan is so talented.

Xiao Guqiang couldn't help laughing and coughing twice, only to see Bihe take out another purse and hand it to her, which was full of copper coins, and even more than a dozen broken silver horns.

"This is what the young lady asked me to give you, and she said that you will inevitably have to deal with the big kitchen, those people are a pair of snobs, and if you don't give them some benefits, you will get in trouble."

is very able to recognize the form, and it is also very compromising to do things, such as Yao in the Tang Le Academy. It's also very well organized. Xiao Gu secretly thought in his heart.

****

In the next few days, she adapted well to the Tang Le Academy, and worked as a cook for Miss Ruyao every day.

The firewood and charcoal are sufficient, and the firewood used to ignite the fire was brought by Qin's mother's face. In the past, she was in charge of the firewood and charcoal in the big kitchen, and she still had this old face, Xiao Gu had sharp eyes and quick hands, and as long as she paid attention to the direction of the wind, she was not afraid of any smoke.

Said to be cooking. In fact, it's just a matter of heating up the soup, sorting out the hot dishes, discarding some of them, and adding green onion sauce, garlic vinegar and sugar to refresh it.

The meals delivered from the large kitchen were indeed half-hot and not cold. And the vegetables are mostly bad and not fresh, Xiao Gu did it for two days, and found that more than half of it was lost, and the master and servant in a yard were simply stretched to eat.

What's even worse is that the big kitchen seems to notice that they have heated the food with the tea stove, and they simply sent some burnt leafy vegetables.

This kind of heating is simply intensified, and it is difficult to eat at all.

This is simply a deliberate toss-up.

Xiao Gu felt that there was no need for the second lady Wang to get along with her niece like this, but now that she was in charge of the house, someone would automatically treat Ruyao to flatter her few companions.

How to solve this matter, of course, Xiao Gu herself has more than one way, but she is silent and waits for Ruyao's solution.

She wanted to see the eldest lady's temperament from this incident.

Ruyao really made a move, and as soon as she made a move, she was extremely powerful.

For several days, the plates sent by Xiao Gu were clean and there were no leftovers, but she was thoughtful about the plates.

Lan Ning saw her looking at the plate, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to see the flowers on that plate?" ”

Xiao Gu smiled mysteriously and replied, "I'm looking at Miss Ruyao's tricks." ”

Lan Ning was slightly stunned, remembering that she had seen Ruyao in the courtyard yesterday morning and asked her to come back - in the pale golden morning light, her face was pale, the flesh on both cheeks was sunken in, and the whole person seemed to be flying in the wind.

"What's wrong with her, is she sick?"

Xiao Gu was still smiling and looking at the plateβ€”it was so clean that there was not even a drop of soup.

This is not a plate after people have eaten leftovers, but it seems to have been poured out, and there is nothing left.

Xiao Gu slowly put down the plate, his eyes flickered and he looked at Lan Ning, and the corners of his lips curled slightly-

"She's not sick, she's hungry."

****

Early in the morning of this day, a maid from Mrs. Tai's side came to invite Ruyao over, saying that a guest had arrived, and asked her to meet her too.

When Ruyao heard the news, her eyes lit up-

This is the opportunity she has been waiting for!

When Bihe helped her young lady to Xuanruntang, she felt that her hands were cold and weak, her steps were staggering and almost falling, but fine sweat slipped down her pale forehead.

Her heart was like a knife, and she shouted Miss, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

If the lady is still there, I don't know how distressed it should be to see the eldest lady suffer such a big crime!

Qingyi on the side pulled her sleeve fiercely, made a look, and the three of them walked into Mrs. Tai's Xuanrun Hall, walked through the rockery and the pond where fish were raised, stepped on the zigzag wooden corridor, and the embroidered shoes under her feet stepped step by step, stepping on the hollow sound.

The wooden corridor winds to the eaves of the main house, and such a unique design is said to have been painted by a Jiangnan craftsman sent by the fourth master.

Before I arrived at the door of the main house, I heard faint laughter inside, and there were a few more maids standing in front of the door, all dressed in new and neat clusters, and hairpins on their buns.

Ruyao's heartbeat was slightly faster, and she shook the hands of the two maids beside her, and glanced at each other as encouragement - this time, something must not go wrong!

Seeing them coming, the maids did not squint, and directly rolled up the curtains and let Ruyao enter the room.

When you enter the house, there is a burst of heat, mixed with the fragrance of Qingya Xinning, which makes people's minds clear and their spirits uplifted. (To be continued......)
