Chapter 129: Meals
Li Mingyun returned to the Qin family house and found that the green shoots were pointed at and scolded by Li Mingjia.
Green Sprouts wiped her tears aggrievedly and didn't dare to say anything.
This maid is real, even if she is just serving the Qin family, she still takes all the fault on herself.
"Fourth Miss, it's the maid's fault." She cried, "The servant did not take good care of the lady. ”
Li Mingjia wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Mingyi, who was also sad.
"Fourth sister, don't say it, it's a blessing that my mother is okay now, let's not quarrel with my mother."
Li Mingjia snorted and walked out of the room, and the crisp bead curtain only swayed slightly at this time.
Li Mingyun looked at the green sprouts and said comfortingly: "The third aunt is fine, you don't have to blame yourself anymore." ”
She walked over to the bedside, "Who made meals for the kitchenette these days?" But are they still the same people? ”
"It's the original." Green Bud replied, "The maid will have to tell them later, there is some food not to be made again." ”
She didn't think about it at all, she just thought that this food was little known, and it was common for her not to pay attention to it for a while, but her wife was weaker and couldn't eat it.
Li Mingyun nodded: "I'll go with you." ”
Lu Ya responded and led her and Chunyu Qiuqing to the small kitchen in the third room.
It's not yet time to eat, but the kitchenette is already busy, and smoke is curling.
There are a few maids washing vegetables in the courtyard, talking and laughing, so lively, there are two people washing a big pot in the pool not far away, and the two cooks in the kitchen are gossiping with each other, one is crossed on the waist and the other is slapped.
Laughing and laughing, talking to each other about the short time of the parents and some of the recent events in Gwangju.
"I heard that the Qin family and the Gu family are married, and I went to the Gu family yesterday to give a dowry!" A maid said.
"Really? Would a gentle person like Miss Gu marry that young master Qin who didn't learn or know anything? The other maid said exaggeratedly.
"How not! Isn't that just a promise! The maid covered her mouth and said, "Then the old man of the ancient family wants to tie up with the Qin family, he wants to find a way to catch up with the Wang family......"
"The old man of the Gu family doesn't like this Miss Gu, he prefers the daughter of the concubine and the waiter......"
"No wonder you pushed your well-behaved daughter into the fire pit......"
The maids talked with relish, and the cooks in the kitchen were not idle.
"My family saw the third master go to West Street again yesterday! I heard that the woman was kept there! ”
"That woman looks like a Peugeot, more than ten years younger than the third lady!"
"It's no nonsense, he saw it with his own eyes, the third master often runs there these days, poor third lady, he's afraid he's left behind!"
Green Sprouts listened to these words in embarrassment, at a loss.
The people in their house have little power in the house, and the people are not afraid of them, and if they say a few words, they may be laughed at.
She had heard such things several times, but she was too embarrassed to tell her wife, for fear that she would be angry.
She moved her lips, ready to remind them that the third young lady was coming, but Chunyu was one step faster.
"Who told you to chew the root of your tongue here, are you impatient!" She yelled, kicking the broom in the door into the courtyard.
There was a bang, startling everyone who was talking.
The maids outside were the first to see Li Mingyun and them, and hurriedly put down their work and ran over to kneel down and admit their mistakes.
"Third Miss, the servants know that they are wrong, please forgive the third miss!"
The cook in the room also came out in a hurry and knelt in the courtyard.
The group kowtowed and begged for mercy, not even caring about the dampness on the ground.
It's okay to talk about such a thing, but it is a great sin to be heard by the people above, especially if it is related to the third lady, and it is even more rebellious.
Chunyu snorted, pointed at them and scolded: "Dare to arrange the master at will, I have to tell the second lady to drive you out of the house!" ”
The two cooks begged for mercy again and again.
"Third Miss, the little woman just said it casually, and she never meant to laugh at the third lady, we swear that we will never say these words again!"
Several other maids also cried and shouted that they knew their mistakes.
Li Mingyun walked up to them and looked at them quietly.
"What kind of meal are you going to give to the third lady today?" She asked, her voice calm.
The two cooks came one by one, and the maids were silent and did not dare to disturb.
Li Mingyun listened and found that there were two ingredients in it that were mutually reinforcing, because she had memorized what Dr. Ouyang said in the courtyard.
"Who's in charge of arranging the meals?" She asked, curling her lips slightly.
Generally, the meals in the kitchen are made according to the master's orders, but these are obviously not Qin's arrangements.
A cook said: "Mama Gui is in charge, and Mama asked the little woman to change the tricks to serve the dishes." ”
It's all about eating and eating, and the key depends on craftsmanship and collocation.
Li Mingyun smiled.
"Did you choose it yourself?" She said, looking quite kind.
The cook nodded, and stopped talking, but still didn't speak.
Chunyu grabbed her collar and scolded: "Say whatever you want, in front of the third lady, you are still stumbling, looking for a fight!" ”
The maid shook her head in fright, and was relieved.
"And Mama Jin, she is the best at side dishes, these are her ideas recently, and Mrs. He listens to her."
This maid has a good relationship with Mama Jin on weekdays, but she always suffers from the white eyes of the cook and the lady, and when she has the opportunity at this moment, she immediately tells the truth.
He Niangzi glanced at her, obviously unhappy by what she said.
"Mama Jin didn't say anything, what are you worried about for her!" She said angrily, looked at Li Mingyun and changed her expression again, "Third Miss, the little woman didn't lie, although she said it, the idea is all up to me." ”
They dare to fight with each other, for this meal, but they don't know what consequences this will bring to them.
Li Mingyun curled his lips and smiled.
"Where's Mama Jin?"
"It's still there!" A maid said "Huh", looking left and right, "Why is it missing now?" ”
Another maid thought for a while and said, "Mama Jin seems to say that she wants to go out of the house." ”
"Chunyu, you go look for her, see if she's out of the house." Li Mingyun commanded.
After Chunyu received the order to leave, she looked at the people on the ground.
"Today's meals have been changed, you make some light, the most common, you know?"
Several people unanimously agreed, nodding their heads quickly.
The small kitchen began to get busy, because the gossip was heard by the third lady, and they didn't dare to speak again.
Li Mingyun walked out of the courtyard, just in time to see Chunyu coming towards him, followed by a timid grandmother.
"Miss, this is Mama Jin." Chunyu pointed to the person and said, "The maid went to the back door and saw her talking to Ah Hong, so he called her back. ”
She didn't expect that Ah Hong would have so many tongues, and she would have to say a few words to anyone she met, but this time she actually stumbled Mama Jin.
Mama Jin was about forty years old, dressed in a floral blue cloth robe, with a round face and a pair of shrewd eyes that were calculating.
She glanced at Li Mingyun quietly, and then showed a flattering smile.
"Third Miss, are you looking for a slave...... What's going on? She asked.
Li Mingyun smiled, and didn't answer her directly, so he asked, "You arranged the meal of the third lady recently?" ”
Mama Jin hesitated, her eyes rolling slightly.
"It was arranged by the lotus lady, and the slave maid just mentioned it casually." She chuckled, looking honest and peaceful.
Li Mingyun said "oh" and said with a smile: "Is it to give some advice?" Can you also help me think about it, it's been hot and humid lately, and I have no appetite for food, what do you think should be eaten? ”
It really seems that it is only for this matter, and it is common for young ladies to lose their appetite at such times.
Mama Jin pondered for a while, then smiled and mentioned a few dishes, and eagerly asked Li Mingyun if she needed to cook it herself.
"No need." Li Mingyun shook his head, looked at her and smiled, "What you said is very good, I heard Doctor Ouyang say before that these kinds of food are the most appropriate to eat in the summer." ”
Mama Jin's smile deepened when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth were so curved that she couldn't hold it.
"Third Miss, if you encounter such a thing next time, you can also find a slave, and the slave must tell the third miss everything she knows!" She said happily.
Li Mingyun smiled faintly.
"I hope Mama's words count. Next time, when I ask you, you have to remember. ”
Mama Jin smiled and should be.
