Chapter XXVIII
The other went directly to the kitchen of the Li family.
"Master Ji, is Master Ji here?" the subordinate knocked on the door.
But there was no movement in the kitchen, and the servant walked in.
"Master Ji, Master Ji, Miss asked me to come to you!" said cautiously as he walked, for fear of being listened to by others.
But he never saw Master Ji's figure, what should he do, is the matter arranged by the young lady going to be messed up?
"Who are you?" I saw a fat woman looking at this subordinate.
"I am, who are you?" the servant asked at once when he saw the woman menacing.
"Hahaha! You ask who I am? Who in the whole kitchen doesn't know about me Aunt Meng. Young man, you're afraid you're here to steal something, right? I caught you and wanted to bite me back?"
"Who said I was stealing, your eye saw that I stole something, you, be careful that I accuse you of slander!"
"Okay, since you're not here to steal, then what are you here for, if you can answer why, I'll let you go, or I'll hand you over to the housekeeper!"
When the subordinates heard Aunt Meng say this, they were immediately frightened. If Aunt Meng handed him over to the housekeeper, wouldn't he be able to complete the task given to him by Linglong? How should this be good, but if he told her the purpose of his coming, wouldn't it be a betrayal of Miss? This subordinate was in a dilemma for a while.
Aunt Meng saw that her subordinates couldn't say a word for a long time, and she felt that there was something greasy in it.
"Let's go see the housekeeper!"
"Okay, okay, I said, Aunt Meng, let go of your hands first!" the subordinate said as he broke free. Anyway, when I got to the housekeeper, I wanted to recruit him, so it was better to talk to Aunt Meng about the reason, maybe she could still help.
"Actually, Miss asked me to come to Master Ji!"
"Miss, do you mean Miss Linglong?"
"Yes!" the servant nodded.
In the Li family, each subordinate has a clear division of labor, and the person in charge of cleaning the hall and the backyard basically has nothing to do with each other, and the person in charge of the backyard has nothing to do with the kitchen. Generally, there is a special person in charge of the food eaten by the master, and the food eaten by the subordinates is also sent by a special person. So usually they don't come to the back kitchen, and then they don't know this Aunt Meng.
Since I don't know Aunt Meng, why do I know Master Ji again? It's not that Master Ji is too high-profile, although his cooking skills are impeccable, he always speaks wildly. Everyone has heard of this person, but few have actually seen it. The rumors about Master Ji are just jokes after dinner.
"Miss Linglong, what's wrong with Miss Linglong?" Aunt Meng began to get nervous, it seemed that Aunt Meng still cared about Linglong very much.
"No, no, Miss Linglong is fine, just let me get some food. ”
"Why don't you ask her personal maid Xiaoyuan to take it, who are you? Why should I believe you!" It seems that Aunt Meng is still more vigilant in dealing with people.
I saw that the subordinate stomped his foot anxiously, and this situation forced him to tell Aunt Meng the ins and outs of the matter.
"Alas, Aunt Meng, here's the thing..."
"It's really hard for Linglong, this kid, now you can do evil as a subordinate and talk about the master at will!" Aunt Meng glared at this subordinate fiercely.
The subordinates lowered their heads weakly, not daring to look directly at Aunt Meng.
"So I'm not atoning for my sins? Aunt Meng, this time is pressing, so I'm bothering you. ”
Aunt Meng nodded, indicating that she would let him go first. Then he yelled at a corner of the kitchen, "Old man, damn it, don't sleep! ”
In the corner, a gray-haired, thin-skinned man with an apron slowly stood up.
"What a noise! How many times have you said it, don't call me old man!" Master Ji patted the dust on his body, as if he was particularly dissatisfied with this title.
"What are you telling me to get up this hour! Really, I don't know if it's my lunch break?"
"You know to sleep all day long, you're dead enough for you to sleep!"
"Bah, don't curse me if you're fine. ”
Master Ji and Aunt Meng's quarrels are daily.
"Okay, don't grind, come over to me quickly!" Aunt Meng roared again.
"I know, what are you yelling about, I'm afraid that others won't know that you have a loud voice!"
Although Aunt Meng said this, Master Ji still walked this way slowly. Aunt Meng couldn't stand it, so she rushed over and dragged his ears to the next person, looking like a fierce woman.
"You, what does Miss need?" said to Aunt Meng to her subordinates.
"Miss didn't say anything specifically, she just asked me to go to the kitchen to find Master Ji to get snacks, the more the better. ”
"Take the snacks? Didn't Miss Linglong let Xiao Yuan take them after the meal?" Master Ji was a little confused.
"The point is, I don't have any snacks left here. If the lady needs a lot, it will take at least half an hour to do it again. ”
"Half an hour, that's a long time, isn't it?"
"Then I can't help it!"
"Hey, do you two not exist when I don't exist?" Aunt Meng looked at the two of you, completely ignored her, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"You, you're the one who makes the staple food, okay?" Master Ji looked at Aunt Meng with some disdain.
"Old man, you grind and chirp again, be careful that I smash your mouth!"
"Okay, okay, Miss should be able to ask for staple food, Miss is afraid that there will be no staple food, so she let me take ready-made refreshments. The subordinates looked at these two, for fear that the two would start a fight.
As soon as they said they would do it, the two immediately rolled up their sleeves and prepared to do a 'big business'. The subordinates also hurried to help together, helping the two of them to do something so that they could complete it as soon as possible.
Master Ji still does what he does as usual, what plum blossom cakes, pearl jade rice balls, ruyi cakes, flowers are rich, and four-color sugar cakes. Master Ji made all three servings. Fortunately, the ingredients are relatively complete, so Master Ji can do it so smoothly.
Aunt Meng made it, long-lived porridge, fried crispy meat, and roasted wild pigeons. Because the staple food takes a long time, Aunt Meng only made these few things. It's small, but it's heavy. Two or three people are not a problem.
After the two of them were ready, the subordinates hurriedly packed it in the box containing the rice, for fear of delaying for a while.
"Do you count it and see if it's all loaded?" said Aunt Meng as she hammered her waist.
The subordinate ordered the food in the box next to him and said, "Okay, okay, it's hard work for Aunt Meng and Master Ji." The servant bowed to the two.
"Remember, if you are a first-time offender, I will let you go first, if you dare to slander Miss Linglong casually in the future, you will ......" Aunt Meng pinched her fingers at the subordinates and made a squeaky sound.
"Don't dare, don't dare. I saw the subordinate resist the four boxes and quickly slip away.
"Aunt Meng, did you say that Miss did she really forget?" Master Ji said with emotion.
"Why don't you discuss the master's affairs, I'm afraid you also have itchy skin!" Aunt Meng pinched Master Ji's waist fiercely, causing Master Ji to gasp.
Linglong was watched by Aunt Meng growing up, and now that this kind of thing has happened to Linglong, Aunt Meng is also very uncomfortable in her heart, but she is just a subordinate, what can she help?
