Chapter 7 Flower Letter Cake
After hearing this, Luo Qinghe threw the axe in his hand, followed her to the front yard, and when she arrived in the front yard, she saw a maid with an average appearance but a lot of momentum.
"Why are you like this?" When the maid saw Luo Qinghe, who was chopping wood, she covered her nose with a handkerchief, and said in disgust: "Cui Ling, you borrow her the new clothes you made two days ago to wear, and then take her to freshen up, how can you get such a description!" ”
"Yes...... My clothes have been sent to be washed, or will I bother Sister Onyx and ask the others? Cui Ling hesitated a little and whispered.
"Wash what wash! I don't know about you yet! If you don't want to borrow it, believe it or not, I'll let the second lady give your clothes to others? Onyx, who was waiting in the front yard, said sharply.
At first glance, this person is a dog who is not easy to bully. Seeing that she was so arrogant, Luo Qinghe secretly said in his heart.
“…… Be. Cui Ling was already timid, and now she was reluctant, so she could only do it, and she lowered her head and reluctantly led Luo Qinghe to change her clothes.
"Sister Cuiling, although I don't know what the second lady told me to do, but since I am wearing your clothes today, if I reward you with half of it later, how about if I don't buy you snacks to eat?" Luo Qinghe didn't want to offend people, so he waited for the two of them to enter the house and quietly coaxed her.
In the end, it was a little girl, listening to Luo Qinghe taking the initiative to show her kindness, most of the grievances in her heart were scattered, and she suddenly smiled sweetly: "It's okay, you just be careful not to wear dirty!" ”
After some freshening up, Luo Qinghe wore a new dress and followed Cui Ling back to the front hall. Onyx had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he saw them coming, he was about to have a seizure, but suddenly choked.
What a beauty! As soon as Onyx saw Luo Qinghe's appearance, he felt that it was really amazing: I had heard that her mother was a beauty, but I didn't expect that this Luo Qinghe was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was so jade and beautiful in coarse linen clothes, and he would be able to pay it back when he grew up? No wonder the second lady was jealous of the bracelet.
"Ahem..."Onyx cleared his throat, raised his hand to tidy up Luo Qinghe's collar and placket, and said, "You come with me." ”
"Speak well in front of the second lady, you know what to say and what not to say!" The chef also came over at some point, and the yin and yang qi were strange.
"Yes." Luo Qinghe replied lightly, and quickly followed the agate who went first.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the second lady's courtyard, she saw Aunt Qian at a loss at the door, Luo Qinghe glanced at her, nodded slightly, and stepped into the courtyard behind Onyx.
After entering, Luo Qinghe bowed his head and saluted as he looked like agate.
"Second master, this girl is here." Onyx whispered.
"Mr. Zhao, I found someone for you." A somewhat greasy and treacherous male voice said.
"Look up." Another magnetic voice rang out ahead.
With such a good timbre, you have to compete with Wu Yanzu's face to match it! Luo Qinghe became interested when he heard this, and quickly raised his head, but he didn't expect to see a mediocre, round and fat face.
Luo Qinghe suddenly couldn't hide his disappointment and lowered his head.
"Don't be rude!" A young male voice scolded. Although it was a reproach, the voice was also very good, without a trace of anger, most likely because he was afraid of being blamed by the second master and relieved Luo Qinghe.
"It's okay, I'm going to get used to it. Every time someone hears the voice and then sees my face, they curse in their hearts, but they pretend to welcome me. Although this girl is a little more upright, she is much better than those hypocrisy! Mr. Zhao didn't care, he looked at Luo Qinghe with a smile and said, "I came to you to ask, I heard that you made today's dim sum?" The food came and went in a hurry, and I didn't know what the name of this snack was! ”
"Mr. Hui, this snack is called Huaxin Xuan Cake, and I have heard it before." Luo Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this person was so kind.
This dim sum was a must-have for Internet celebrities in her previous life! But the reason for this is that they are afraid that I am sick... Luo Qinghe said in his heart.
"Hanashin Xuan Cake? It's a very elegant name! Would you like to tell me how to make this snack? As soon as he heard the name, Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.
Luo Qinghe saw that this person liked it, so she would probably not be punished for coming this time. So he said with peace of mind: "Actually, it's not difficult to do, I just came up with an idea, and it was prepared by the uncles and aunts in the back kitchen." ”
Luo Qinghe recounted the production process in the back kitchen in an orderly manner.
Hearing her give the credit to everyone in the back kitchen, Aunt Qian, who was standing outside the door, was relieved.
This girl is good! Aunt Qian thought to herself, when this snack was served, Mr. Zhao was faced with a table full of dishes, and he lacked interest, so he almost put down his chopsticks and left. As a result, when I saw this snack, my eyes lit up, and I looked left and right with the plate several times before I was willing to move the chopsticks, as if it was not enough to eat two plates. She wanted to invite credit, but Mr. Zhao asked about this dim sum when he opened his mouth, and Aunt Qian had no choice but to say that Luo Qinghe did it, but she didn't expect that the credit that she thought she had lost would come back.
"Do you know what is the specialty of this snack? It is said that one side of the water and soil has one side of the famous dishes, but as far as I know, this is not the characteristic of Luoquan Town. Mr. Zhao continued to ask.
"Mr. Hui, listen to my grandfather...... This snack seems to have been passed on by Dongying, but I asked before, and I can't remember where Dongying's grandfather is, so it's a word of mouth. ”
This thing is the practice of modern petty bourgeoisie in Japan, but Luo Qinghe can't say it clearly, so he casually explained a reason.
"How could your grandfather have heard of such a strange thing?" Mr. Zhao has always boasted of being well-read, but today, whether it is dim sum or place names, he has never heard of it.
"This girl's family originally opened a dim sum shop, which is about what her grandfather heard from other old gentlemen." Fang Cai's beautiful young male voice suddenly interjected and explained.
Most of this person is the young master! Luo Qinghe reacted very quickly, and guessed seven seven or eight in an instant.
"Sir, this family is a good person. After my family went bankrupt, I didn't make snacks anymore, two days ago there was a fire again, I came here to work in order to make a living, the old lady read that I was pitiful and didn't let me sign the deed of sale, only to see Mr. come to the house, the second lady also specially instructed us to be attentive to entertain... Sir, you are also a good person, please take our young master as an apprentice! Luo Qinghe was very clever, knelt down and pleaded.
"Yo, little girl, you just saw me, you know that I am a good person?" Hearing her words, Mr. Zhao smiled.
"Sir loves good food, such a person will not be bad." Luo Qinghe said sincerely.
"How?"
"People who love food are all focused on food, how can they want to harm others! Besides, Mr. has a blessed face, like Maitreya Buddha, and he looks kind! ”
"Good! What a funny girl! Mr. Zhao smiled from ear to ear when he heard this: "I haven't heard such a nice compliment for a long time!" For your cleverness, I decided to stay and guide them for the time being! But you're going to have to get me something good to eat! ”
"Thank you, sir!" It was the young man's voice again, rejoicing.
"Thank you sir too!"
Luo Qinghe just wanted to speak, but when he saw a boy suddenly running out from behind the screen, he followed the young master of the Fang family and said.
Luo Qinghe saw that this was done, so he didn't bother them to talk, and Fu Yifu retreated silently.
As soon as I walked back to the back kitchen, I saw the chef smirking and stuffing two ingots of silver into her hands: "This is the reward that Mr. Zhao sent to you in private!" ”
Luo Qinghe was overjoyed in his heart, and the opportunity to surround people's hearts has come!
"This silver must be Mr. Zhao's reward for you! Everyone has contributed a lot, how can I monopolize it! It's just that I am bothered to help me exchange this silver for copper coins, and everyone will share some and ask for a lottery! Luo Qinghe said generously: "Especially Aunt Qian, Aunt Qian is not worried, you should take double copies!" Leave another copy for Aunt Song. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the kitchen was very happy, although there was not much to score, but Luo Qinghe's words were really good.
But when the head chef saw that everyone was so happy, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart.
"I take a double portion? This can't be helped, in fact, I didn't do anything, you are in command......" Aunt Qian was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and pulled Luo Qinghe aside and said.
"Auntie, aren't I also a little bit of a little ninety-nine! Give you more, so you can buy me pies and meat! Luo Qinghe said angrily.
When Aunt Qian heard this, she laughed: "You little clever ghost! Auntie can forget about you! ”
The other people in the back kitchen also thought it was very cute when they saw Luo Qinghe's clever appearance, and Uncle Chen, who had just gone to the account room to change the copper plate, came back, and everyone happily divided the money, but it was not given to Aunt Zhou.
This week, my aunt tried to ask for two dollars several times, but she was quietly squeezed away, and the chef also got the reward, but she was not very happy.
Here, although Mr. Zhao agreed to stay, he didn't let the young master of the Fang family apprentice with the boy, just said that he would give some guidance in the past few days, and look at the rest later, and then went out on his own.
The second lady felt that the matter had not been done properly, so she asked Luo Qinghe to find her, and this time the chef had a lot of eyes and secretly followed.
"You also showed your face today, what do you want me to reward you?" The second lady sat in the main seat of the main hall in a brocade dress and said leisurely.
"Second Mrs. Xie is concerned, but Qinghe is really embarrassed to ask the second lady for a reward. I heard my mother say, you Bodhisattva heart, thinking of my family's difficulties, kindly left my mother here to make a living, Qinghe took today's opportunity to thank the second lady! Luo Qinghe pretended to be very grateful.
"You're a good talker! This one looks like a beauty billet! These words made the second lady a little happy.
"The second lady won the award. However, for those of us today, diligence is the most important thing, and the rest is skin. Luo Qinghe said modestly: "However, second lady, Qinghe does have something to ask for." ”
"Speak."
"My mother worked day and night to support the family, and she fell ill yesterday, so I came to replace her today. But my mother's illness can't be recovered for a day or two, so I want to beg my wife to let me work here for my mother for a while, after all, I already have a marriage contract, and I can't honor my mother for a few years. ”
"Really? Then it's better for me to let you go to the study to serve, the study is used by the young masters on weekdays, they all have maids and maids, and there is nothing to support you, you usually just tidy up the house. The second lady said meaningfully: "Ah yes, Mr. Zhao is afraid that he will often be in the study in the future, don't you like him very much?" ”
"Absolutely not, Second Lady?" Luo Qinghe suddenly looked anxious, and hurriedly excused himself: "Second lady, I already have a marriage contract, how can I go to that kind of place where only men go!" I hope the second lady is gracious, I'm fine in the kitchen! ”
"What are you afraid of? My family is full of cultivated people, can you still eat it? The second lady smiled and persuaded.
"Please don't lift Qinghe anymore, second lady!" No matter how the second lady persuaded her, Luo Qinghe just didn't agree.
was really tired of talking, and the second lady said with a very regretful look: "Since this is the case, then come according to your wishes." ”
At this time, the lady chef who was eavesdropping outside understood very well in her heart, she forcibly suppressed the palpitations, changed into an honest and cowardly look different from usual, and bowed into the second lady's room.
It was getting dark, and when the chef stepped into the house, she happened to see the maid lighting the candlestick, and carefully placing the candlesticks everywhere, and the second lady brocade and jade clothes reclining on the soft coat, with a silver-white Persian cat in her arms.
The second lady's appearance is actually average, but she has been in charge of the Fang family for many years, coupled with her exquisite makeup and rich clothes, she is nearly forty years old, but she has a somewhat domineering aura.
"The old slave is not doing well, please give me another chance...... "The chef who looked like a dog in the outsiders lost her sharpness at the moment, her legs trembled slightly, and she whispered.
