Chapter 8 Meat Buns
The second lady didn't seem to hear, her eyes were slightly blind, and her vermilion nails swept down the white fur of the Persian cat.
The surroundings are frighteningly quiet, the maids in the house are all looking down at their noses and noses, the chef knows that it is not good, and the cold sweat is layer by layer, and the charcoal basin is clearly lit in the house, but she feels cold and thorough at the moment, and when she thinks about it, she can't care about the old arms and legs, and knelt down with a bang.
After about an hour, the second lady sighed softly and opened her eyes: "Ah, Mama is here." ”
"It's... Second Lady. The kneeling knee of the chef and grandmother hurt, and when she heard this, a spirit hurriedly fell lower: "It's all the old slave's fault, let the new cheap girl be in the limelight, and ...... and that day, let the second master see the little slut of Yueniang, which was also the old slave's negligence for a while. ”
"Negligence?" The second lady heard that this grandmother was still shirking her responsibility! Dengshi became angry, threw the cat to the ground and said, "I think you are old and confused!" Why don't I reward you and go home to retire! ”
"Old... The old slave knows the mistake, the old slave knows the mistake! The second lady gave me another chance......" The lady in charge was so frightened that she burst into tears when she heard this, and begged again and again.
Seeing her like this, the second lady felt a little deflated, leaned back on the couch, and said slowly: "Mama, I read that you are my mother's wife, seeing that you are old and deliberately give you the oily and watery position in the kitchen, but you have made mistakes again and again, isn't this a loss of face for me?" ”
"The old slave knows his mistake, and he will not do it again next time!" When the chef heard that the second lady still had the intention of pursuing it, she hurriedly leaned down and slammed her head on the ground.
"Okay, okay, if you go out and let people see that you have a wound on your forehead, maybe you will say that I have abused you!" The second lady was upset when she listened.
"It's... Second lady, the old slave will definitely behave well this time, don't worry, Luo Qinghe's cheap girl can't stay in the back kitchen for a few days, I will definitely find an opportunity to kick her out! The chef was anxious to show her loyalty and said fiercely.
"Really? Then I'll see how you behave. The attitude of the chef and the mother who admitted her mistake made the second lady very satisfied, "Luo Qinghe has to leave sooner or later, but I have to stay for a few more days now, I am useful, you just need to watch her and let her be honest." ”
"The old slave obeys."
Seeing that the second lady's hand hanging on the coffee table waved slightly, the chef had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask again, and bowed her head and retreated.
"This grandma should also clean up, fortunately, the second lady was also there last time, otherwise wouldn't that Yueniang have to climb into the bed of the second master!" When the chef went out, the second lady's henchman, Onyx, said fiercely.
"Humph!" The second lady snorted coldly: "Isn't it? Yueniang's slut didn't know what means she used to dare to come to me to play tricks, but her daughter is also a smart person, just after I beat her, she really didn't dare to go to the study on an errand, and if she didn't plead today, Mr. Zhao would probably not stay in the house. ”
"The second lady beats well, she should let that little slut be honest!" Onyx immediately flattered.
"Humph! The old lady, who is old and immortal, is bent on favoring the fourth young master, and she doesn't allow Brother An to study with him, and she can't keep Mr. Zhao! If I hadn't sent Luo Qinghe this time, the fourth young master wouldn't have thought about studying! ”
"That's it! I don't know what the old lady thinks, at the moment the entire Fang Mansion is the second lady's business, she won't have to rely on you in the future, the four-room family will be poor, the old lady doesn't come to slap you, is it possible that she still wants to count on him? Onyx flattered, "But... Mr. Zhao was invited by the Zhai family, is it reliable? ”
"Naturally, it is reliable, the Zhai family is not as good as it used to be at any time, but in the end it is some power! This Mr. Zhao looks light, in fact, he has already been appreciated by the emperors of the two dynasties, and has issued orders to order him to enter the court as an official many times. This time, Brother An has to be instructed by him, and he will be a well-known teacher in the future! The second lady was very proud, "Later, you call Brother An, I have to tell him well, I have to seize the opportunity to learn some skills!" ”
When it came to the Zhai family, the second lady couldn't help but feel depressed. is a rich party at home, but it has only been a fortune for more than ten years, and he is a nouveau riche in the eyes of outsiders...
"That's... Madam, what you said last month told me to stop the soup this time, so if I happen to go back to the pharmacy, don't give it to me! Seeing that the second lady was proud, Onyx thought that she was in a good mood, and said boldly.
"What's the hurry?" The second lady raised her eyebrows, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes: "Say so casually, but the house is busy, if you are pregnant with me, there will be no one beside you." Besides, if you are pregnant, then the second master will be... Aren't you going to change people, what will you do when the time comes? ”
"Yes..."Although Onyx responded, his heart was as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
This whole day can also be called a twist and turn in the Fang family, Luo Qinghe finally got through until the end of work, and went home happily carrying the meat given by Aunt Qian.
"I'm back!"
"Sister! Sister, be quiet! Aunt Yue is asleep! ”
I thought I could see the figure of the second elder of the Wang family, but I didn't expect a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl to run out of the house, and there was some worry in Shui Lingling's eyes.
"Pearl!" I just went to Aunt Guo's house to deliver the pie, and I heard her say that she put Zhu'er at Wang's house to help, and at this time, she was very grateful to see Luo Qinghe, touched her little face and said: "Zhu'er, I just sent meat pies to Aunt Guo's house, you go home and eat a few!" ”
"Thank you, sister!" When Zhu'er heard that there was meat to eat, she thanked her happily and went home.
"Grandma! Grandfather! Look what I've brought back! After sending Zhu'er away, Luo Qinghe rushed into the house.
"You're back! Grandma, see what you're bringing? Aunt Wang's face was full of love, and when she saw a few pieces of pork that Luo Qinghe was carrying, she was surprised: "This... Where did it come from? ”
"Naturally, I got it by my ability!" Luo Qinghe looked proud, and hurriedly told him in detail about today's incident in the Fang family, along with her smart and clever Feng Ji in the mansion.
"That's... This flower letter cake, did you secretly learn it in the Shen family? When the shopkeeper heard the novelty of the dim sum, his heart could not help beating a drum.
Didn't the Shen family book a baby kiss with her? Luo Qinghe was puzzled: "How could you learn it from his family?" I heard someone say it by chance in the past, and I remembered it when I thought it was new. ”
"Yes, who doesn't hide the secret recipe for good work, don't you hide it when we open a dim sum shop! How can it be that others can learn if they want to! Aunt Wang said with a smile.
I see... Luo Qinghe suddenly understood in his heart, no wonder Mr. Zhao only asked about the general steps, not the detailed formula.
"That's right, that shouldn't have anything to do with the Shen family." When the shopkeeper Wang thought about it, he didn't look into it further.
Seeing that this matter was so easy to fool the past, Luo Qinghe was happy and relaxed, and picked up the pig roudao that he had just gotten back: "Today I will come to the kitchen and wrap some meat buns for you to eat." ”
"Hello! You save some of that meat, and you have to save some for the New Year! You don't have to wrap the buns for me and your grandfather, we don't like to eat them! Seeing this, Aunt Wang hurriedly instructed.
"Grandma, I'm in charge of the meat I earn! If you don't eat buns today, I'll feed all the meat to those big yellow dogs! Luo Qinghe pretended to be angry and said coquettishly.
"You kid..." Seeing that Luo Qinghe turned around and ran away after speaking, the second elder of the Wang family smiled dotingly, but in a blink of an eye, there was a trace of sorrow, and they carefully hid behind Luo Qinghe's back.
"Mother! Eat, mother! ”
Yueniang fell asleep for a day after taking the medicine, but suddenly was filled with a burst of food aroma, just opened her eyes and sat up straight, and a fragrant and soft bun was stuffed in her mouth.
"Mother, you get up first, eat some and then go to sleep!" Luo Qinghe stuffed the warm meat bun into Yueniang's mouth and said.
Yueniang was puzzled, and just wanted to ask where this bun came from, but saw Luo Qinghe take the green onion and egg soup and send it to Yueniang and said, "Eat it while it's hot, and then talk about it after eating." ”
The mother and daughter happily ate several meat buns and buns, and they were full and burped.
"Ah, my mother is pregnant with a younger brother again!" Luo Qinghe touched Yueniang's bulging belly and said with a smile.
"You girl! How can anyone joke with my mother like this! Yueniang gently patted Luo Qinghe's hand and scolded with a smile.
"You're in much better spirits, it seems that eating meat still works!" Luo Qinghe said, taking out a handful of copper coins from his arms.
"Where did this come from?! Don't be like the silver bracelet of the mother's collar, let people gossip! Yueniang saw that she took a handful of copper coins on the first day she went, for fear that Luo Qinghe had also received a reward that she shouldn't have received, and she was a little worried.
"Don't worry, mother, I'm cautious!" Seeing this, Luo Qinghe hurriedly comforted him, and told him what happened in the Fang family again.
"But mother, we work honestly on weekdays, how can they be so intolerant of us..."
Yueniang sighed helplessly: "Actually, my mother doesn't know, my mother has never intersected with Aunt Zhou when she was working, I only think that the chef is domineering, and I didn't expect her and Aunt Zhou to do this secretly harmful thing......"
"Oh, forget it, I'm so smart, I can still be afraid of them!" Luo Qinghe saw that Yueniang was annoyed again, so he quickly changed the topic: "But I just saw that my grandfather seems to be a little worried, is there any trouble at home?" ”
"No, no, the family is fine! They're just worried about you! Yueniang was shocked, and hurriedly found an excuse, pretending to be relaxed and perfunctory to Luo Qinghe.
"That's good..."Luo Qinghe didn't ask any more questions, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, looking at her back, Yueniang was full of sorrow.
But Yueniang didn't expect that after Luo Qinghe went out, she secretly lay in front of the window and saw her sad face, so she left silently.
After finishing the rest of the buns with a white cloth and putting them on the outside, Luo Qinghe cleaned up everything neatly, waited for the second elder of the Wang family to wash before blowing out the candle and lying on the bed to sleep.
