Chapter 19 Cooking for Mrs. Jiang
Luo Qinghe suddenly collapsed.
Since coming to this era, no matter how bumpy life is, she has been gritting her teeth and moving forward, firmly believing that the days will get better and better, but the catastrophe just now suddenly aroused the helplessness, uneasiness, confusion and tiredness in her heart, Luo Qinghe only felt that the whole person was like a deflated ball, and collapsed at once.
"What's wrong with you! Are you tired these days...... "The second elder of the Wang family didn't know what was going on, thinking that Luo Qinghe was tired from selling for days.
Seeing this situation, Yueniang held back her tears for a long time and couldn't hold back anymore, although she is also a mother, but in front of the second elder of the Wang family, she is also a child, and when she saw her father, she sobbed and talked about the grievances she had just suffered.
"It's just too deceitful!" After hearing this, the shopkeeper Wang slammed his fist on the side of the bed, and his eyes were red with anger.
"It's all useless for my father and mother......" Aunt Wang wiped her tears in distress, "Why do you still have this old bone dragging you down in the world......"
"It's not a way to be bullied every day! It's better to let Nan Nan and the son of the Shen family get married quickly, and when the time comes, we will also set up a shop nearby to continue selling dim sum. If this girl has a husband, she is not afraid of being bullied by outsiders again! The king's shopkeeper said hatefully.
"How can this work! Nan Nan is not yet sixteen, what is it to marry at such a young age! Besides, we can't even afford a decent dowry now, so can the Shen family afford it! When Aunt Wang heard this, she burst into tears.
Although this is harsh, it is not necessarily not true. The Shen family originally felt that their family was nobler than the Wang family, and they married empty-handed in ancient and modern times...... Can this Luo Qinghe have a better life in the future?
Putting aside the matter of getting married, Luo Qinghe took on the big trouble of Mrs. Jiang in order to make a living, but how to make her satisfied, the Wang family has no clue at the moment.
On the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Luo Qinghe, who cried with red eyes yesterday, got up early in the morning but did nothing as if he had nothing to do.
Yueniang thought that she was afraid that her family would worry and held on, but Luo Qinghe smiled and said: "Mother, I have sprinkled all the evil fire yesterday, let's hurry up and make more snacks now, some of them will be taken to Jiqing Town, and the rest will be distributed to the nearby villagers, and then the filth of the fat head king yesterday will be said, and if he comes to find trouble, the villagers can also help us!" ”
Yueniang also felt that it made sense when she heard it. The fat-headed king was originally a person who would repay him, if he took advantage of their absence to find trouble with the two old men, wouldn't he have to rely on the help of his neighbors to stop him!
"Okay, mother, let's do it. You have to be careful when you go there this time, I'd rather not do business than offend people! ”
Luo Qinghe nodded to reassure Yueniang, and then the mother and son prepared the snacks to be used, and after bringing everything they should bring, they set off to Jiqing Town with the chef who came to pick up Luo Qinghe.
The second lady here was satisfied after listening to the reply of the chef yesterday, but she didn't believe the excuse of Shaoze that "happened to meet Luo Qinghe", so she sent someone out early to find out what happened between the two yesterday.
Although Fang Shaoze lied to others, in front of his grandmother, he confessed everything.
"Well done! When you meet such a villain who has lost his conscience, you should teach him a hard lesson! But next time, if you want to help the orphan and widow again, it's best to call a few more people to help you, so as not to have any misunderstanding in the middle..."The old lady of the Fang family appreciated Fang Shaoze's behavior of pulling out a knife to help him when he saw injustice along the way.
Fang Shaoze responded to the old lady's request and went back to his courtyard, but when he changed clothes, he found the snacks given to him by Fang Caiyueniang.
Fang Shaoze didn't like to eat dim sum, but he couldn't bear to refuse Yueniang's kindness, so he could only accept it. Looking at the good-looking dim sum, Fang Shaoze called the maid catkins over and rewarded her with all of them.
"Young master, where did this dim sum come from, why is it so delicious!" The catkins are also a bold one, and they will eat it directly after taking it.
Seeing that she was eating so fragrantly, Fang Shaoze was suddenly a little curious, and hesitated to pick up a piece and taste it.
As a result, all the dim sum that was originally given to Liu Wu entered Fang Shaoze's stomach.
Liu Wu saw that the dim sum in his hand had flying, and he only felt full of loss, and said carefully: "Why didn't the young master leave me a piece of such a delicious dim sum!" Or next time you see Miss Qinghe, let her do some more! ”
"Don't go and cause trouble to others! What do you do with so many dim sum, I don't eat much! Fang Shaoze reprimanded.
Don't eat much?! Did you eat all that snack into the dog's stomach just now? The catkins were angry, and complained in their hearts.
On the way, Luo Qinghe discussed Mrs. Jiang's taste with the chef.
The chef is also in charge of the second lady, so she said sincerely and seriously: "That Mrs. Jiang is really difficult to serve!" That day, the Fang family had already sent someone to make food, but she was tired of eating sweet and salty, she said that her stomach was sore and panicked, and she said that she had a stomach swelling after eating alkali, so she couldn't serve it! ”
It seemed that this was just some complaints, but Luo Qinghe carefully wrote it down.
About an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace.
It was the first time Luo Qinghe had seen the government of this era, and he hurriedly looked up and down with the novelty of jumping out of the carriage, and then sighed in his heart: "Wow...... It's shabby! ”
If you don't see the big word yamen on the door, no one will notice that this is a dignified official mansion, and it is only the old mansion of the declining rich man!
Luo Qinghe followed the housekeeper into the door.
Although the outside is a little shabby, as soon as he enters the yard, Luo Qinghe finds that there are people everywhere who have carefully cleaned up, and the pavilions and pavilions of the flowers and plants are very complete, and it seems that he is also a particular person.
When I arrived at Mrs. Jiang's door, I saw a maid carrying a bowl of bamboo noodles that had not moved out of the door, and returned it to the cook waiting at the door.
"It's useless! When I came, I said that it was all over the place, but what I could do was useless! When Lord Jiang saw this, he stood at the door blowing his beard and glaring.
The cook was too frightened to speak, and walked out with his head bowed and following the butler, the man in black yesterday.
"Girl, either you can come back another day, my lord is in a bad mood today, if the girl doesn't succeed, I'm worried that the lord will lose his temper and smash you." The housekeeper saw that Luo Qinghe was already waiting outside, so he kindly reminded.
"Housekeeper, Miss Luo's craftsmanship is even good for my second lady! Just let her try it! "The chef is unwilling.
In the past, the housekeeper had heard Uncle Gu say that his sister was very picky, but if even she said that this girl had good craftsmanship, he was overjoyed and hurriedly led her to the kitchen.
Luo Qinghe first heated the radish pork rib soup he brought, took out a few soft snow-white rice cakes and put them in a disc, took two small plates, one with a secret chili sauce, and the other with some sour honey sauce, and let the maid send it in.
"Yo! Did the girl still prepare spicy food, it just so happened that my wife is from Shudi, so she loves spicy food! Seeing this, the maid couldn't help but appreciate Luo Qinghe's gaze.
After a while, the maid came back with a plate again: "Madame finished eating the sweet sauce with the rice cakes, but the spicy ones did not move, and ordered to bring some more rice cakes and sour honey sauce." ”
When Luo Qinghe heard this, he said confidently: "This can't be helped, my sister went back to Mrs., the rice cake is not easy to digest, I immediately started to make some breakfast and send it!" ”
Luo Qinghe said, let the cook help him kill a duck, and then found some yams, red mushrooms, and a small grinding plate.
The cook's hands and feet were very fast, and everything was ready in a blink of an eye, but she couldn't help but say:
"But girl, my wife can't get any meat at all since she was pregnant, so girl can be careful......"
Luo Qinghe smiled mysteriously and didn't speak.
I saw that she first steamed the yam and duck, and at the same time stir-fried the red mushrooms with hot oil, and then took the breast part and crushed the yam after the duck came out of the pot, and then poured it into the graphite with the red mushrooms and green onions to make a paste, and then put it back in the pot to boil, seasoned, and finally picked a pink plum blossom to decorate.
"Sister, don't let Mrs. know that there is meat here, just say that it regulates the stomach, if Mrs. drinks it, even if you have breakfast."
This bowl of rice soup looks unsightly, but when you smell it, you only feel that it is fragrant and very attractive.
The maid hurriedly sent this thing in again, but she didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to just taste it, praised it for being delicious, and drank it all in a few bites.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Jiang to feel a little swollen in her stomach again, and she felt even more refreshed with the support of the maid.
"Who made this breakfast? I haven't eaten this in a long time! Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied and asked.
"Do you know ma'am, there is a little duck in this bowl of soup! It's been so long, and you're finally able to eat meat! The maid was also very happy.
"What?! Madame actually eats meat! Hurry up, reward the cook! When Lord Jiang heard this, he was very surprised, and he was immediately elated, and said loudly.
But before he finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang over there let out a wow and vomited on the ground.
"I just wanted to reward, but why did this person vomit on his wife again! Fast! Get this cook! I need to ask what the hell is going on! ”
Master Jiang just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these days of hard work could finally come to an end, but before he was happy for two minutes, this Mrs. Jiang vomited again.
Lord Jiang was immediately furious, and roared angrily to ask his subordinates to find Luo Qinghe, who made this bowl of soup, to ask for guilt.
