Chapter 129: Occasional Encounter Under the Moon
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
From the old relics of the previous dynasty to the upstart of the Republic of China, Lin Keji's guests are both new and old, so in addition to the main building being sorted out for the guests to have fun and rest, the small building where Lin Jiashu lived was also cleaned out.
On one end are Western-style jazz bands and modern fashionable men and women, and on the other hand, babbling and singing the most popular Peking Opera among the many types of operas at the moment.
Even the tree fence in the yard was connected with colorful light bulbs by Gu Pan's messenger, and as soon as night came, it was lit up in various colors.
Gu Pan has been a courtesan for several years, and the guests who come can talk regardless of whether they know it or not, from the current affairs of various countries to poetry, calligraphy and painting, although they don't know much, they can guarantee that they will never be cold.
Even if there are occasional high-ranking people who don't look down on her, on this occasion today, they will always sell Lin Keji a face and say a few perfunctory words.
Liao Wanyu wore a long cheongsam with pearl white butterfly pattern with dropped shoulder sleeves, standing at the door of the path for the servants at home on weekdays.
The path leads upstairs and downstairs in the house, and can also be connected to the kitchen and backyard. This location can be said to be very convenient, you can see the situation in front, and there are tricky things in the back, and it is convenient to find her.
Since she is an outsider who comes to help, she only needs to do things, and she doesn't have to have too much presence.
"Miss Liao, something happened." Hurriedly running over was a half-grown boy who was in charge of the fire in the kitchen on weekdays, and if he wanted to count his age seriously, he might not be two or three years younger than Liao Wanyu.
"What's wrong?"
The front of the child's coarse cloth short coat was soaked with sweat, and the sweat on his forehead flowed into his eyes because of running, and he kept rubbing his eyes with his hands because of the pain, "Lao Qin Gang cut his hand." ”
This kind of thing often happens in the kitchen, and the more skilled a person is, the more confident he is to multitask, and the more likely he is to have problems.
Lao Qin's person is a showman, and he is about to blow this full garden spring to others while chopping vegetables, and he slipped his hand and cut himself.
"Is the injury serious?" When she said this, Liao Wanyu had already strode towards the kitchen.
The boy in charge of the fire followed him, first shaking his head, and then remembering that she couldn't see, so he opened his mouth again, "I don't think it's serious, but he ...... He said he couldn't do it. ”
“……”
Lin Zhai's "Manyuan Spring" is a well-known dish in the middle and upper classes of Luzhou, not because of how precious and rare the ingredients are, but because it is a great test for the chef's knife skills.
Potatoes, radish, cucumbers, celery, red peppers and other things to be cut as thin as cicada wings, the back can be through the words, and then after some modeling, the full plate of "spring peach", "summer lotus", "autumn chrysanthemum" and "winter plum" correspond to the four seasons, plus "white magnolia" and "pear blossom" as an auxiliary, a seat to see the flowers of the four seasons, the form is realistic, the color is gorgeous, it is the first dish cold dish that the Lin family must have every time to invite guests.
At this time, something went wrong, and Liao Wanyu also understood that this old Qin Daqing was not accidentally injured, on the contrary, he was completely deliberate.
Lao Qin should be the aunt who is raising his wife outside behind his back, and the expenses are too great, and his hands are tight, and he wants to ask Lin Keji to give him more monthly money.
"What about people?" Standing at the door of the big kitchen and looking around, Liao Wanyu didn't see Lao Qin's figure.
Everyone is busy with work on their hands, and the cook lady who is closest to Liao Wanyu who is watching the dough rolling is non-stop, and her mouth is still in charge, "I said that my hands hurt and I smoked outside." ”
Liao Wanyu couldn't help frowning, there are still a lot of rules in the Lin family, and no one cares about them on weekdays, but when there is a banquet at home, all kitchen helpers, unless they get Lin Keji's permission, are not allowed to appear in front of the guests.
The back door of the kitchen is connected to the backyard, and the small building is vacant on weekdays, so it doesn't matter, but today there are guests arranged by Lin Keji, and Lao Qin is smoking in the yard now, which is a big taboo.
Liao Wanyu doesn't divide people into three, six, nine, and so on, and she doesn't feel that there is anything high or low, but in this era, there will be some people among Lin Keji, so the last thing to lose is Lin Keji's face.
People won't say anything in person, and when they come home behind their backs, they always talk about his lax governance.
Liao Wanyu almost trotted, hiding from the people who were working in the kitchen and went out through the back door, and sure enough, Lao Qin was squatting and smoking not far from the door.
"Lao Qin, I heard that you were injured? Do you want to take it to the foreigner hospital for a look? Although Liao Wanyu knew in her heart what Lao Qin was thinking, she didn't ask, she just cared about his injuries first.
When he heard the footsteps, Lao Qin knew that someone was coming, but he didn't move, knowing that Liao Wanyu had made a sound, he held half a cigarette in his mouth, supported his injured hand with his uninjured hand, and stood up.
When he stood up, he frowned and shook his eyes twice, as if he were about to faint. Liao Wanyu looked at the tall and pretending man pretending to be weak, and looked down on him very much in her heart.
He didn't know who wrapped his hand, and the white cotton cloth was wrapped very thickly, and people who didn't know would not think that he was chopping vegetables and cutting his fingers, maybe his whole palm was gone.
"So...... Severe? After asking, Liao Wanyu felt that her tone was not very good, and then added, "I'll ask someone to take you to the church hospital, I heard that there is a good way to treat wounds." ”
Of course Lao Qin won't go, he just made a small cut on the back of the first section of his middle finger, and he couldn't be laughed at when he went to the hospital.
Besides, he knew that the wound was not in the way, and that he knew it.
"Now, how can I be in the mood to go to the doctor, 'Man Yuanchun' can't do it, my old Qin is really ashamed of my husband's care on weekdays."
Lin Keji took great care of him, he invited him from Beiping, and the next year he found a daughter-in-law in Luzhou, and the money for marrying his wife and buying land was also Lin Keji's money.
Later, Lao Qin's daughter-in-law gave birth to Xiao Qin, and the tuition fees for the school after school are still funded by Lin Keji.
"Since you know that Mr. takes care of you on weekdays, then you should also know that Mr. will not blame you. If you don't need to go to see Dr. Yang, you can rest well tonight, and I'll go and talk back to Uncle Lin. ”
After she said this, she turned around and left, Lao Qin thought that Liao Wanyu didn't understand what he meant, so she stood in place and said "Hey", "Miss Liao!" ”
Liao Wanyu stopped, turned to look at him, and saw that he was a big man squirming and pinching, and she really wanted to continue to pretend that she didn't understand anything.
But at the moment, it is only more than an hour away from the opening of the table, and if it drags on, even if Lao Qin returns to the kitchen to do things in the end, it will be too late.
"Lao Qin, your hand, you can't be 'Manyuan Spring' today, right?"
Lao Qin had half a cigarette in his mouth, and because he wanted to speak, he opened his mouth casually, and complained about the grass on the side, Liao Wanyu couldn't see it, walked over in a few big steps, and extinguished the cigarette with one kick.
"It's not that it can't be ......"
"Are you confused? Don't you know who the gentleman is? If you make some trouble on weekdays, you may not worry about it, but today is the time to make trouble? ”
Liao Wanyu stood with her arms crossed, her expression serious, "I have also heard about you, it is indeed not easy to place another home outside, but you should not be careful, you should not be careful at this time." ”
Her words were direct, which made Lao Qin embarrassed, but he also felt guilty, and soon remembered the newcomers living in a small apartment outside and the unaffordable daily expenses, and he could only see money in his eyes.
"I don't want to tell you, what do you know as an outsider?" Lao Qin's eyes were red in a hurry, and he bypassed Liao Wanyu and was about to go to Xiaolou, he just heard that Lin Keji would be in Xiaolou.
He left his hometown and followed Lin Keji to Luzhou, he didn't believe that after so many years, Lin Keji could still drive him away.
"Stop!" Liao Wanyu's voice was not loud, but her momentum was very strong, she walked a few steps quickly and grabbed Lao Qin's arm, "Either you honestly cook this meal for Mr. today, or you go to make a scene, even if Mr. doesn't care about you and you make him embarrassed, I have to go and tell Xiao Shu, I want to see who Xiao Shu and you say, Mr. listens." ”
Lin Keji is a well-known favorite daughter, and there is no way for Liao Wanyu to move Lin Jiashu out at this time, "I know, your hand injury is not serious, so 'Man Yuanchun' can do it as usual." Tomorrow, I'll talk to Uncle Lin. When the time comes, he will remember that you are injured today and still do so well, will it be less of your benefit? ”
Lao Qin turned her words twice in his heart, thinking that it was also a way, "That's ...... What if you don't say it tomorrow? ”
Liao Wanyu snorted coldly, "Then you can find him yourself, there's nothing wrong with it, isn't it?" You know that gentleman has a good heart. ”
Lao Qin looked at the strip of cotton cloth he was holding, thinking that he could indeed prepare the current banquet first, and when it came to tomorrow, he would properly fill a big wound for himself, and he was not afraid that Lin Keji would ignore him.
As long as he takes some money to buy a pair of gold earrings for the little lady at home, he can clean it for a few days.
Lao Qin opened his mind, and while removing the strip of white cotton cloth he had drawn, he walked to the kitchen, Liao Wanyu followed behind him, thinking that he didn't make a big deal out of it, and he wouldn't make Lin Keji lose face tonight.
The two of them just stood on the only way from the front yard to the small building, although Liao Wanyu had already tried to solve the matter as soon as possible, but the scene was still watched.
The garden of the Lin family was designed by someone, and the flowers and trees were staggered with rockeries, and when Liao Wanyu and Lao Qin entered the back door of the kitchen, a very foreign-style old gentleman came out from behind the rockery.
"Your little butler is very young!"
Lin Keji was originally standing behind him, but he stepped forward in two steps and chuckled, "Uncle thinks highly of me, I can't keep this person." ”
Tang Tingou said "Huh", without waiting for Lin Keji's explanation, he thought that Liao Wanyu was going to find another high or to go home to get married, so he shook his head regretfully and didn't speak, and walked straight to the small building.
