Liuqi and Mei'er followed behind, and the other maids also wanted to go to see the excitement, but in the end, Mei'er glared, and they obediently and honestly went to do their own work.

Daozi observed this scene and said secretly, it seems that this Mei'er's shyness and gentleness are only used for him, the little young master!

The kitchen of the Wu family's mansion is located in the north of the mansion, because the five elements in the north belong to water, and building a kitchen there has the meaning of water and fire.

The kitchen is a three-room room, and there is a yin mulberry elm in front of the house, and the whole noisy kitchen is more shaded and cool.

At this time, there was smoke billowing from a kitchen room, and it was clear that someone was cooking on the fire.

Although Daozi is not very familiar with his family's back kitchen, he still knows some of it.

For example, there are three cooks in the back kitchen of his house, the chef's surname is Peng, and he has been in the Wu family for many years, as for the specific number of years, Daozi doesn't know, anyway, since he can remember, Chef Peng has been there.

However, at that time, the Wu family was not like now, the mansion was replaced by the third largest mansion in Yingtianfu, and there were not as many servants in the family as there are now.

So at that time, basically one Master Peng could take care of the needs of the entire Wu Mansion, but after the Wu Mansion grew, it was impossible, so Master Peng found Uncle Wu and asked Uncle Wu to hire a few more cooks to help him, even if it was an apprentice.

Uncle Wu agreed, so he found two helpers for him to serve as his sous chef.

As for the other two cooks, Daozi didn't know very well.

At this time, Master Peng was lying on the old chair with an apron, basking in the spring sun, and there was a fat big orange cat lying on the ground beside him, making lazy snoring or meowing from time to time.

This fat orange cat also has a history, Daozi doesn't like cats, because he thinks cats are too scary, although he is a human in two lives, but he can't help but be afraid.

The terrible thing is that the cat, whether it is squinting or looking open, always loves to make a purring sound from time to time, which does not come from the throat, but seems to come from the stomach. This made Michiko think that there was a baby monster in the cat's belly. So he was afraid.

Also, why do cats wash their faces? Daozi thinks that if an animal does something unnecessary, it shows that the animal has a tendency to humanize.

Humanization of animals?

That's a goblin!

Thinking of the sinister face of the goblins in later generations, Daozi is afraid even if he is a man.

Therefore, according to common sense, in terms of the degree of pampering of Daozi's parents, others will never be allowed to raise cats in Wufu. It's just that compared to cats, Michiko is more afraid of mice. Oh no, to be exact, he disgusts rats.

Whenever he thought that the food he ate might be crawled by countless gray-haired mice, Michiko got goosebumps all over his body.

So he specifically allowed the kitchen to have cats, only the kitchen, of course.

Hearing the movement in the courtyard, Master Peng thought that his sous chef Si You'er had dumped bad eggs and came back, so he squinted and said: "Si You'er, the snow spot jujube flower that Mrs. will order for the little young master, the heat should be more stable, if the heat is over, be careful of your skin."

Snow spot jujube flower is a dish that Daozi likes, and it is not so much a dish as a staple food.

This snow spot jujube flower is nothing more than fresh rice from Shanhai Mansion, scooped up, soaked in water for three hours, steamed for six minutes with a simmer, and then used the red jujube from Datong Mansion, chopped, dressed up with raisins, sprinkled on the white rice, and finally swept gently with boiled honey, the rice is as white as snow, the jujube is red as a point, the raisins are like the petals of the jujube flower, and the honey is yellow like the face of the jujube flower, so it is called the snow spot jujube flower.

Master Peng thought that his words would soon get a response from Siyou'er, but he didn't expect to get broken footsteps.

The lazy orange cat meowed, stood up, and watched the people warily.

The orange cat is so fat that it can barely see its legs when it stands up.

In Michiko's view, this example once again proves the vicious curse of "ten orange cats, nine fat".

Of course, it may also be because the food in Wufu is too good, so this orange cat is so fat that he can barely see his legs.

Master Peng didn't respond to Siyou'er, he was very angry, thinking about a way to embarrass Siyou'er, and at this moment a boy's voice sounded in his ears.

"The weather in spring is warm, very suitable for basking in the sun, Sister Mei'er, you can tell Uncle Wu another day, and let him make me a recliner, I want to learn from Master Peng, when I have nothing to do, bask in the sun in the small garden"

"Yes, little master, but I don't think it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, why don't I go to Uncle Wu now?"

Master Peng, who was squinting and half-asleep, felt familiar when he heard the child's voice, but he didn't react, but after hearing the woman's voice, his body trembled, and he screamed in his heart, obediently, it's bad! I was caught by the little master for being lazy!

The person who came was Daozi, the maid Meier and Liuqi, a group of people.

Master Peng ejected from the old man's chair, and his face turned extremely pale when he saw the visitor, he first grabbed the maid Mei'er, and then begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother for forgiveness.

Daozi saw that his beating had alerted this Master Peng, so he smiled and punned on Mei'er: "Sister Mei'er, forget it, during the day, I don't like to lie down." ”

The maid Mei'er performed at this time, and stood behind Daozi reluctantly.

Master Peng was really relieved when he heard Daozi's words, and secretly said, if you are lazy in the future, you must let a confidant let your own wind on yourself, otherwise this laziness will not be steady.

"By the way, what do you want to eat, if so, just let Miss Xing'er, oh, and Miss Mei'er pass a word, why do you always come here in person?" Master Peng bowed down to the same height as Daozi, and then smiled and flattered Dao.

At first, he wanted to say that it was enough to let Xing'er pass the word, after all, Xing'er was the personal maid of his little master, but when he thought of Mei'er's impassivity, he forced himself like a doom, and hurriedly added the words Miss Mei'er.

Master Peng's words made Mei'er's eyes flash with joy, but she quickly covered it up. At this time, Daozi said: "Master Peng, where are those thrown eggs?" ”

Thrown away eggs?

Master Peng scratched his head, and then suddenly realized that feelings are those bad eggs that Siyou'er threw away! It's just that why does the little young master ask about this kind of thing?

Master Peng couldn't figure it out, but he didn't hide it and told him about the eggs.

Daozi nodded after hearing this, things were not much different from what he expected, but Mei'er glanced at Liuqi, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes that he lied about the military situation, of course, this dissatisfaction was only a flash, after all, Liuqi's grandfather was Steward Wu, and she didn't dare to offend.

Six or Seven lowered his head in shame at this time.

Daozi asked Master Peng to lead the way and go see the bad eggs that were thrown away. After several turns, I walked through three or four sheep intestine paths, and finally arrived at the place where swill was poured every day.

When they got three or four meters away, everyone couldn't help but cover their noses and close their eyes, because it was so disgusting, not only did it smell bad and flies flew around, but it was also a broken villain everywhere, yellow and crooked.

It's chilling to think about.

At this time, there was a young man who was pouring buckets of bad eggs into the swill bucket with his hands and feet, and many of the bad eggs were still flowing out of the egg yolk and egg white, sticky, yellow and crooked...... When the maid Mei'er saw it, she hurriedly turned her head, and then retched.

Daozi was not affected at all, he looked at the young man who blocked his mouth and nose with a rag and kept rummaging the bad eggs, and guessed in his heart that he must be the sous chef of his own back kitchen.

Master Peng originally wanted to ask Siyou'er to come over and talk, but Daozi refused. Michiko turned around and returned the same way with Mei'er and Liuqi.

On the way back, Daozi asked Master Peng why there were so many bad eggs left in the kitchen, because he couldn't eat them all, or because they were bad when he bought them.

Master Peng answered them one by one, and he told Daozi that these eggs were not actually bought, but they were bought.

Daozi was puzzled, and Master Peng said that these eggs were actually exchanged for eggs by the tenant farmers of the Wu family because they couldn't pay the tenant money.
