Chapter 5 Entering the Fang Family for the First Time
The Fang family's mansion.
After Luo Qinghe came, he honestly followed the people in the back kitchen to prepare lunch for each room. Approaching the end of the year, according to the rules, the Fang family should give some rewards to the subordinates, so as soon as they heard that the things were ready, the subordinates went to the warehouse to see the items prepared for them.
The busy kitchen was very quiet at this time, Luo Qinghe knew that his mother was not pleasing here, so he didn't go to join in the fun, but just picked a quiet corner to be in a daze.
In fact...... She is not the real Luo Qinghe. It's just that after waking up, the family hasn't stopped, and she has no time to care about anything else, just carefully guarding her secret, but fortunately, no one finds out.
As for how her soul took the place of the righteous master, and why was it not discovered by the Wang family...... That's for later.
In short, the matter has come to this point, then she can only use this Luo Qinghe's identity to live a good life!
Qinghe... This name sounds a bit blessed, but this is the name that her nowhere father prepared for his son who has not yet written a few words, Qinghe. But her infatuated mother insisted on changing it and putting it on her.
In her previous life, she didn't read less novels. I also imagined that if I crossed by myself, I must have a father who is prosperous and a mother who is born in a big family, and then meet a handsome young man who lives a small life of not envying mandarin ducks and immortals.
But looking at it this way, although the current father is also the young master of a rich and noble family, and the grandfather is still a small official in Kyoto, but his whereabouts are unknown; The mother is a young lady with a solid family, but she was bankrupt in the war, and now she is a family with four walls, and the family is difficult to maintain even the basic life.
In addition, the fiancΓ© who was far away in the world, if it weren't for the jealousy of his aunt and aunt because of this family business, the family would not be so desperate now.
The current situation is a mess and I can't figure it out. Luo Qinghe scratched his hair bitterly, and said in his heart: I don't know if this plot is a palace fight or farming, and whether my role is a heroine or a passerby, alas.........
No matter what, Luo Qinghe only hopes that his fate can be normal, this original owner is miserable enough, but there must be some more cows, ghosts, snakes and gods to block himself!
"Hurry, hurry! The kitchen people have come to the front yard to gather, and the family has guests! β
Luo Qinghe was thinking about it, and suddenly a loud voice startled her! Afraid that he would be found out if he was lazy, Luo Qinghe hurriedly gathered his dress and came to the stove, pretending to be very busy and adding a few pieces of firewood to the stove pit.
The fire instantly burst out, and Luo Qinghe cleared his throat and pretended to be busy, and responded with an excuse not to offend anyone: "They all went to the warehouse to help!" β
"Are you ......" The little guy who was already anxious hurriedly ran in, but when he saw this unfamiliar little face, he suddenly paused and wondered.
"I'm here to help, they have something, I'm staying to watch the fire." Luo Qinghe explained with a smile.
"What a good thing that is! The fourth master finally asked the master of the Zhai family to invite a gentleman from the capital to give a lecture to the fourth young master, if he was neglected...... "This little guy was so anxious that he sweated when he heard it.
"Then you go and call the people back!" Luo Qinghe was speechless, and said in his heart: This person is desperate like this, and he is still talking nonsense?
"Yes, yes, yes, yes..."The little guy suddenly realized, and also felt that he was really a little stupid just now, thanked him, and ran away.
It's frizzy! Luo Qinghe shook his head helplessly, casually hid the scar on his arm in his sleeve, and fell into deep thought.
Some time ago, before she woke up from her coma, she heard a voice that seemed to be nothing: "Because of your filial piety and kindness, this fire charm ......"
Fire charms? If it's really a special function, why don't you give it something useful? What is the use of this fire charm except for burning firewood and burning fire?! Could it be that she has to walk the rivers and lakes by setting fires?!
Luo Qinghe shook his head, unwilling to think about it again.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, "Distinguished guest from the house!" The second lady said that all food and clothing must be properly arranged, so that nothing goes wrong! As soon as the mother in charge of the kitchen entered the back kitchen, she hurriedly arranged it.
"That little girl! Tonight's dinner must be very rich, you show me the fire! β
"Don't worry!" As soon as he heard this, Luo Qinghe snickered in his heart: I have this fire spell, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to make fire?!
This job was really easy for Luo Qinghe, causing Luo Qinghe to sit and look around when everyone was busy and their feet didn't touch the ground.
I have heard that there are a lot of cats in the kitchen of large families, so I look at it, the reason why the kitchen is so powerful is because she is the second lady's dowry grandmother, and she is very delicate and exquisite, and she will show herself in front of the master's family... In this way, Luo Qinghe had an idea.
Teppanyaki fish, roast beef, ginger shredded mandarin fish, red date duck, plus the most precious golden bear's paw, cordyceps swallow wing...... At a glance, there are more than a dozen exquisite dishes on each table, which can be called a feast of delicacies.
When the banquet was to be held, the chef was sweating profusely and commanded the maids to serve the food, looking at the full guests were all praised, this grandmother only felt that she would be able to enjoy the scenery in front of each room this time!
Mama was complacent, and suddenly saw Luo Qinghe looking at herself with a clear face, only to feel a blush, and was about to have a seizure, but heard Luo Qinghe sigh: "Wow! I've never seen such a delicate and luxurious meal! β
The chef suddenly looked very contemptuous, and said, "Hmph! What world can you see? What is this?! You haven't seen the second lady's mother's house, that's a real rich feast! β
Everything in the kitchen is in charge of this grandmother, and when she heard this, of course, the other subordinates hurried to pat themselves.
Aunt Zhou, who was embarrassed to be a moon mother yesterday, laughed very dog-legged: "Yes, what is this!" If it is the second master who invites your guest today, these dishes will not be able to be handled! β
"How can you say that! The fourth master is also the master of the Fang family, and this distinguished guest is still a gentleman who reads poetry and books, how can he be lazy! Aunt Song, who has always been good friends with the fourth room of the Fang family, was dissatisfied.
"Humph! Who doesn't know that the fourth old man's room is shabby, and the second lady is kind and willing to entertain him wholeheartedly, if it is for me...... Phew! You defend the fourth master so much, why don't you go back to his yard? Aunt Zhou sneered.
"You ......" Aunt Song rarely speaks on weekdays, not as sharp as Aunt Zhou's sharp teeth and mouth, and her face is flushed with anger. The other grandmothers on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to help: "Aunt Song was originally the fourth lady's dowry maid, and it is normal to help the fourth lady." Didn't you come out after marrying the old lady's family, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to stay in the fourth room! β
Aunt Zhou wanted to refute when she heard it, but she heard the chef slap her face on the wooden table and said, "Okay!" Say less! β
The chef spoke, and the people below didn't dare to quarrel anymore.
In fact, regarding the affairs of the Fang family, Luo Qinghe has not listened to Yueniang's chatter in the past few days.
The four-room master of the Fang family is a brother, and the second master is a big official in Kyoto, and the eldest master left early, and the second master is the one who is in charge of the family.
Yueniang has always been upright and straightforward, and she doesn't care about the seven seven or eight in these houses, but she occasionally listens to the aunts in the back kitchen on weekdays, and the Fang family is very snobbish, and there is only a powerful second room in her eyes.
Luo Qinghe sneered in his heart, these two ladies are really scheming! When I came to the house during the lunch break, it was obvious that I had lunch, and the second lady couldn't have known, but she still pretended to be enthusiastic and let her subordinates Zhang Luo have such a large table of meat dishes with heavy oil and salt, and the 'distinguished guests' could only eat hard because of their feelings... And if the second lady is dissatisfied with this move, the second lady will say: "I sincerely treat guests, what's wrong?" It's also irrefutable.
Luo Qinghe shook his head, there are really a lot of rights and wrongs in this wealthy family, although the Wang family is a little poor, but fortunately, the family cares about each other, if he is like the young master of the fourth master's family, his family background is pressed by others, and he is controlled by others everywhere, it is really very heartbroken!
Speaking of this young master, it was he who helped Yueniang lead the donkey yesterday. Luo Qinghe was grateful in his heart, and could only pray secretly, hoping that the invited gentleman would not vent his dissatisfaction on him.
Luo Qinghe was thinking about it, when a sharp voice of a small coat suddenly sounded in his ears: "What are you doing sitting there!" Don't you see that your guests have a bad appetite! The old lady said, let you make some snacks and send them over! β
"Ruyi girl, aren't we dedicated enough? You look at the top dishes on the table, which one is not carefully prepared? If the guests are really dissatisfied, doesn't it mean that the family banquet of the dignified Fang family can't be handled? If you don't do it, ask the guests, what do you want to eat, let's make it! "The chef is not a bully, smirked.
"When is this all gone! How can it be done in time! Ruyi didn't expect the chef to speak so horizontally, and she was almost charged with the sin of belittling the Fang family, so she could only say stupidly: "Forget it, you can prepare some snacks!" β
"No problem!" Seeing that she was no longer looking for trouble, the chef didn't say anything, just readily agreed, smirked and said a few words to send Ruyi away, and said proudly: "Prepare to prepare, just make a six-bong assorted box for dim sum!" β
The people in the back kitchen thought that they could rest and rest after preparing a table of delicacies and feasts, but they didn't expect the maids in front of the old lady to come to trouble again, and they were very angry and scolded secretly.
"Oops!" Aunt Song, who was specializing in making dim sum in the back kitchen, suddenly exclaimed, only to see that her hand and noodles were splashed with hot oil by Aunt Zhou.
"Ah, it's your own arm moving around, I didn't mean to!" Seeing that Aunt Song's hands were suddenly red and swollen, and there were a few big bubbles, Aunt Zhou had a triumphant look in her eyes, and hurriedly dodged away with the oil bowl.
"You bitch! It's clear that Fang just hated me for speaking for the fourth master and wanted to take revenge on me! Aunt Song gritted her teeth in anger, the Liufeng assorted box was originally her best dim sum, but now it is so hot......
"That's it! When is it time to have a casual quarrel! Why don't you hurry up and find Lang Zhong to have a look! Seeing the commotion here, the chef scolded and said, "Why did you drop the chain at a critical moment?!" Aunt Qian, you come for her! β
Aunt Qian, the one who helped Aunt Song speak, although she is also a white case, she usually makes some steamed buns, but this snack has never been done once!
Hearing this, Aunt Qian just wanted to say something, but the chef left the kitchen with a wind under her feet and didn't know what to do, leaving her alone and didn't know what to do.
