The woman took Zhao Shuang and the others into a small side room and said, "Miss Zhao is here to rest now, and I'll go to Mrs. Tongyu." ”

Zhao Shuang said: "Okay, eldest sister, please." ”

All three women left, and they didn't even offer a cup of tea.

Zhao Shuang doesn't care, she won't be polite to people who are not polite to herself.

The three women went for a long time before they came back, their clothes had already changed, and their bodies were covered with powder, and they choked on the fragrance.

The head woman said: "Madame said that you are tired today, and you will be gone, let me directly arrange for you to go to the kitchen to do things, if you do well, Madame will be rewarded." ”

Zhao Shuang didn't bother to see the prefect's wife, did she kowtow or not when she saw herself?

So it's just right not to see.

Zhao Shuang and the four of them were arranged in a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, and the woman took them to receive simple daily necessities and lived in the courtyard that night.

The next morning, the woman came to call Zhao Shuang and the four of them, and followed the Liu family to eat together.

After eating, I took them to the kitchen outside Liu's house.

The Yanagi kitchen is divided into an inner kitchen and an outer kitchen.

The inner kitchen is dedicated to cooking for the master, and the outer kitchen is the kitchen for the lower people.

The woman said: "Mrs. Zhang instructed, you first make some good food in the kitchen, she tastes it first, and if it is okay, she will taste it for Mrs. ”

"Okay." Zhao Shuang simply agreed.

The four were led into the kitchen.

Yuan Xi was very angry, and whispered to Zhao Shuang: "Girl, they don't treat you as an official lady at all." ”

Zhao Shuang smiled: "It doesn't matter, I didn't come to Liufu to be an official lady." ”

Fu Ning said, "Master, what are we going to do?" ”

Naturally, there are no high-end ingredients in the kitchen, but the kitchen of the people in Liufu is also better than ordinary people.

Zhao Shuang said: "I see that the apricot blossoms in the yard I passed by just now are blooming very well, so let's make apricot blossom cakes." ”

Yuan Xi went to pick apricot blossoms, Fu Ning and noodles, Rou Niang lit the fire, Zhao Shuang sat by the stove, drinking the tea that Yuan Xi made for her, leisurely.

The apricot blossom cake made by Fu Ning is layered, exactly six layers, the apricot petals are dotted in the layers of cakes, and the whole cake is an apricot blossom pattern, which has been cut into six petals with a quick knife, unless you do it, you can't see the traces of the knife edge.

"Alright." Yuan Xi handed the plate to the woman.

The woman said: "It's a good look, but I don't know how it tastes, I'll give it to Mrs. Zhang to taste first." ”

Zhao Shuang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Fu Ning took out another plate and said, "Master, try the apricot blossom cake." ”

Zhao Shuang waved his hand: "Let's eat together." ”

The servant's breakfast was too unpalatable, and Zhao Shuang was reluctant to waste his stomach to eat something that didn't have much delicious value, so he didn't eat breakfast at all.

Taking advantage of the woman's efforts to deliver the cake, Fu Ning made another soup for everyone, and the four of them ate happily.

When the woman delivered the cake to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang was still waiting for Mrs. Zhang to eat in the main house and did not come down.

Mrs. Liu waited for a while before Mrs. Zhang came down.

When Mrs. Zhang saw the woman, she ordered: "Let's set the meal, I'll take a bite together, and I'll go up to serve Mrs. Hu to Mrs. Hu's house to enjoy the flowers." ”

The little girls hurriedly brought the meal, and the woman took the opportunity to send the apricot blossom cake to the table and said: "Mrs. Zhang, this is made by the daughter of the county magistrate I brought to Lanfeng County yesterday, you taste it, if you can still get into it, we will keep them, if not, send them back as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Niangzi looked at it, her eyes lit up: "This cake is golden, the spark in the middle is like the stamen of an apricot blossom, and the whole cake is like a golden apricot blossom. ”

While talking, Mrs. Zhang took chopsticks to clip the apricot blossom cake, originally she wanted to clamp the whole cake, but only one piece was clamped up, and a closer look found that the apricot blossom cake had been cut into six pieces with a quick knife. This knife worker also needs it.

Zhang Niangzi took a bite, the outside was charred and the inside was tender, after swallowing, there was a faint taste of apricot blossoms in her mouth, Zhang Niangzi couldn't help but take one bite after another, and it didn't take long to eat up the whole cake.

The woman said beside her: "Mrs. Zhang, can you still enter the entrance?" ”

Zhang Niangzi praised: "Yes, yes, this daughter of Lanfeng Zhixian County really lives up to her name, a simple cake, the taste is not simple." It's no wonder that some people in the big families of Pinglan Mansion now go to Lanfeng Restaurant to eat! ”

The woman smiled and said: "If they want to eat, they have to go to Lanfeng County to eat, or Mrs. Zhang, you have the foresight to get the master directly from Lanfeng County!" ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "You did a good job on this errand, I will tell Mrs. when I turn around, and you will be responsible for the input of vegetables in the kitchen in the future." ”

The woman was overjoyed when she heard this: "Thank you Mrs. Zhang, thank you Mrs. Zhang." With the help of this Miss Zhao from Lanfeng County, Mrs. Zhang's errand of competing for the housekeeper lady will be nine out of ten! ”

Zhang Niangzi smiled and said: "Lai Niangzi and Zhou Niangzi are very well prepared, and it may not be possible to be nine out of ten, but I want to be the housekeeper of the inner house, and your benefits are indispensable." Okay, you go down, let that Miss Zhao prepare well, Mrs. Hu will eat lunch at Hu's house, and we will rush to prepare dinner. ”

"Ugh." The woman said yes and went out.

The woman happily came back to give Zhao Shuang the good news, and when Zhao Shuang heard this, she just said lightly: "I know." You called us when we were ready for dinner. ”

The woman didn't expect a daughter of a county magistrate to be so excited to receive such an honor, she further said: "Mrs. Zhang is one of the housekeepers of our Liufu house. Soon she will be able to become the lady of the housekeeper! ”

Zhao Shuang snorted.

Seeing that Zhao Shuang was still unmoved, the woman said: "Mrs. Zhang is Mrs. Mrs. the most important housekeeper, and she has some face in front of Mrs. Zhou, although Mrs. Zhou has the old lady to take a fancy to her, but the old lady is old after all, so she doesn't care about the sundries in the house." Lai Niangzi is the second aunt's companion, but relying on the second aunt to be favored, she doesn't have the ability to be a housekeeper for Zhang Niang! ”

Zhao Shuang rubbed her temples, I really don't care about my business, I just need good ingredients, as long as you can provide them, I can process them here.

As for whether the lady of Liufu invited her to come, or whether the lady Zhang who wanted to compete for the position of the eldest lady in charge and brought her here under the banner of Liufu, she didn't care at all.

The woman saw that Zhao Shuang was not interested in these at all, so she changed the topic: "Miss Zhao, don't always call the eldest sister and eldest sister, I haven't introduced you yet, eldest sister, I am the second-class steward lady of Liufu, you can just call me Zheng Niangzi." If Mrs. Zhang can become the lady in charge, I can be promoted to a first-class lady in charge. ”

"Oh, congratulations." Zhao Shuang coped.

Zheng Niangzi said: "Sister, whether I can be promoted or not depends on you to play well tonight and strive to make a delicious meal that satisfies Mrs." ”
