Chapter 434: The Great Kitchen
After Qin Yao's analysis, Su He nodded wildly with Min'er and said: "Yes, yes, it must be this reason, the second princess, you don't usually sleep until what time, don't sleep lazy, even if you are three poles in the day, if the second princess is happy, then you can sleep directly until the afternoon, then the eldest princess is naturally okay, yes, it is normal for the eldest princess not to get up this morning, let's go over so early in the morning, it is true that people will think that we are too positive, and she will be unhappy to find fault." ”
In fact, Su He and Min'er also understood in their hearts that the two of them deliberately followed Qin Yao's words, and they also wanted to comfort Qin Yao's heart, after all, the old lady just now was really too faceless.
"Since you want to open, let's not care, anyway, what the grandmother said is right, the time is still early, let's go to the kitchen to eat the morning meal first, and then go back to clean up, wait a little and we will go over again, I left in a hurry in the morning and didn't bring anything to the princess, now I think about the etiquette is not appropriate, let's go back and see if there is anything that can be taken with us to do personal favors"
Qin Yao said this, and took Su He Min'er and the two of them to the kitchen first.
In the big kitchen in the prince's mansion, this time is already busy and lively.
The Great Prince's Mansion is no more than the Second Prince's Mansion has several yards, and each has a small kitchen that can cook separately, although now only the east kitchen in the Second Prince's Mansion has been in use, and the big kitchen that Qin Yao cleaned up before has always been idle and busy, and this is just now being cleaned up, this Qin Yao is busy with other things, and the official use of the big kitchen can only let Steward Wu worry about them. There is a large kitchen and two small kitchens in the Great Prince's Mansion. Among them, there are two small kitchens, one next to the place where the eldest princess lives, and the other is the kitchen in the courtyard of the small wing house that was recently allocated to Qin Yao.
Qin Yao was embarrassed to really think that he was a guest, and besides, it was the best policy to be a guest, so he stayed for less than three days, and the small kitchen in the small room was only used to boil water and decoction medicine, and he didn't have any firewood, rice, oil and salt.
So, if you want to eat morning food, you still have to come to the big kitchen to have a look.
"Who are you? Why are you hanging around here? Then he took Su He and Min'er towards the big kitchen, and didn't expect three or four female envoys with food boxes to come over on the road next to him. Among them, the one who started asked curiously when they saw Qin Yao.
"Dare to ask this sister? This sister, well, if we want to eat something......" Min'er was at the back, first turned around and saw the female envoys, Min'er answered for a while, but didn't know how to say it clearly.
"We are from the Second Prince's Mansion, and the eldest princess invited our second princess to live in the mansion for a few days, and we happened to meet her, and I want to ask my sister, if we want to eat something, we have to find which steward in the kitchen?" Su He saw that Min'er couldn't speak, so he quickly picked up the conversation.
Several female envoys looked at each other, when did these two princesses come here for something, and why didn't they hear about it......
Looking at the expressions of these female envoys, Qin Yao immediately knew that not everyone in the Great Prince's Mansion knew that he had come to live for a while, and it seemed that the Great Princess Jiahui had done a very measured job in this matter.
I can't be guessed that I am an impostor, so Qin Yao stepped forward and walked a few steps and said to the ladies: "Don't worry about these sisters, what about us, we just feel that it is inconvenient to cook in the small kitchen, and we don't want to bother the sisters to send it to us. ”
Several female envoys listened to what Qin Yao said, and then looked Qin Yao up and down.
As soon as Su He looked at the eyes of those female envoys, he knew that these people didn't quite believe what Qin Yao said.
"Miss, just look at me and say, you usually dress up when you go out, don't let you wear gold and silver, gorgeous and rich, at least you are worthy of the identity of the princess." Su He chattered behind Qin Yao for a few hours.
Qin Yao looked down at what she was wearing, in order to facilitate walking, it was a little, plain.
"It's okay, let's not fight for this time." Qin Yao whispered.
Qin Yao pretended to be inadvertent, rolled up her sleeves, and stroked her hair.
Then he didn't care about the eyes of the female envoys, and took Su He Min'er to the kitchen by herself.
In the kitchen, the grandmother of the steward of the Great Prince's Mansion was busy inside.
Qin Yao stretched out his head at the door and saw that there were several big stoves and cauldrons inside, and he didn't know what was simmering. Next to the big stove is a water stove for boiling water, and it has been gurgling, and there are several large iron kettles taking turns to go to the stove with little water, and there are seven or eight servant women who are busy working next to it.
"Second Princess, the stove in this big prince's mansion is much busier than the stove in our second prince's mansion and in the east courtyard." Min'er said as she looked inside the room.
"That's natural, we are here now from the Great Prince's Mansion, the big kitchen here should be for the entire Great Prince's Mansion to eat and drink, the east kitchen in our house, in the final analysis, is just for those people sent from the Internal Affairs Office and the servants in the inner courtyard, earlier, I heard Steward Wu say that many people in the outer courtyard still have a special small kitchen in the outer courtyard, our second prince's mansion is too scattered everywhere, I don't know how rich our second prince's mansion is. In the yards everywhere, you have a kitchen and I have a kitchen, and it's a waste of firewood and it's not easy to manage. ”
Here Qin Yao said, there is a very loud voice in the big kitchen, the middle-aged servant women who are standing in front of the board in the big kitchen are also dressed differently from others, you can recognize it at a glance, this servant woman is definitely the housekeeper of the big kitchen.
Seeing that the housekeeper was full of energy, her actions were particularly neat, and she cleaned up smoothly, and although the big kitchen was very busy under the command of the mother, it was not chaotic.
Through the firelight and the aroma of those meals, Qin Yao looked at the grandmother and admired it from the bottom of her heart, "Alas, if I take care of things in the kitchen or in the second prince's mansion, it would be nice if I could be so handsome." ”
Qin Yao and Su He Min'er stood at the door of the kitchen, and they were embarrassed to interrupt the work in the kitchen for a while, and they were embarrassed to go in directly, just when the three of them didn't know what to do, suddenly Gu Ya's voice came from behind them: "The second princess can let the slave maid be easy to find, and the second princess hasn't had breakfast yet, alas, our eldest princess was a little happy when she thought of being a teacher last night, this person ate supper as soon as he was excited, he was afraid of eating in the nest, so he didn't dare to go to sleep, and it would be even later to sleep if he tossed and fell asleep, I didn't have time to get up early in the morning, and when I got up and cleaned up, I heard the housekeeper outside reply that you are here, no, let me come out to look for you. ”
