Before she got closer, she heard a fierce quarrel inside, and Mu Bangxiang immediately pricked up her ears to listen.

"Wu Rui, everything started because of you."

"Nonsense!"

After a crackling sound, the old man rushed out of the house, his face full of anger, and he strode away.

Mama Wang led the wooden incense into the house, the ground was full of messes, the maid who was waiting knelt on the ground to pick up porcelain pieces, and an old woman leaned crookedly on the pineapple wood carved couch.

Her silver hair is meticulously coiled, and the good rouge can't hide the traces of age, especially the three deep marks on her eyebrows and eyes, although she is wearing a cloud brocade with gold and inches, and her life may not be comfortable.

"Old lady, this is the cook who came yesterday, if you want to eat something, you might as well tell her."

The old woman was not interested: "Let you watch and do something!" I just don't have much of an appetite. ”

"Yes." Mama Wang led Mu Bangxiang to the small kitchen in the main courtyard, and then transferred a round-faced maid to wait, and then went back to the main house to serve the old lady.

The round-faced maid asked curiously, "Sister, what are you going to cook?" ”

Mu Bangxiang saw that this girl was not very old, she looked very cute, and she didn't have any city mansions, so she suddenly smiled and said: "I heard that the old lady has no appetite, so I plan to make a list of meals." ”

"Isn't it a dish?" The round-faced maid grasped the point in her, every cook who came here was riveting to make food, and she actually wanted to cook.

"You'll find out later." Mu Bangxiang began to wash rice, and the round-faced maid wanted to help, but all of them were refused, and she pretended to be unintentional and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The round-faced maid smiled: "My name is Xiao Tao, and I am a second-class maid who serves the old lady." ”

"It's good to be able to work in Wu Mansion, I see that you are so beautifully dressed." Mu Bangxiang made a look of envy and looked Xiao Tao's clothes up and down.

was complimented, Xiao Tao immediately blossomed, she held her chest high and smiled proudly.

"The old lady is very good to us, and she has never treated us badly in terms of food and clothing."

"Bang" rice was poured into the wooden barrel of rice retort, Mu Bangxiang covered the lid, looked around, and lowered his voice: "I'm not afraid of Little Peach's jokes, I originally thought that rich people wouldn't quarrel, but the first time I saw the situation just now, I was almost scared to death." ”

Xiao Tao didn't seem to care: "The old man and the old lady always quarrel, you can get used to it, but the two of them treat us very well, and they never make us angry, and when you stay here for a long time, you will naturally understand." ”

Li Yan once said that the old man of the Wu family relied on this old lady to make his business bigger, and he was not grateful at all, and he knew that Bacheng was a "big pig's trotter" at a glance.

Mu Bangxiang continued to ask: "I heard that the third young master in the house is gone, why didn't he do anything?" ”

"Someone young master was poisoned, the body is in the mansion, Mrs. Rong also invited the Taoist chief to come over, saying that she was going to chant the scriptures for five days, and it was delayed when she came and went." Xiao Tao looked at Mu Bang Xiang and brought sour plums, she became more and more angry, what kind of dishes did Mu Bang Xiang want.

Mu Bangxiang thought about it carefully in her heart, the old man and the old lady are not in harmony, and there is a gap between the old man and the old man, but they are all Wu Ze's closest relatives, no matter how you think about it, there is no reason to kill!

No matter, wait until you go back and see what Li Yan has found over there.

After soaking her hands with sesame seeds and salt grains, she took the rice and put it in her hand, stuffed it into a sour plum, slowly kneaded it into a triangle, and finally dipped it in the sesame seeds with the salt grains.

Xiao Tao had never seen such a way to eat, and she watched with wide eyes, her eyes full of longing.

"Give." Mu Bangxiang handed one to Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao couldn't wait to take a bite, and her face wrinkled together in an instant, and she looked at Mu Bangxiang pitifully: "It's so sour." ”

"That's right." She began to explain, "As people get older, their sense of taste will also deteriorate, and the old lady has been eating nothing lately, so I should first use sour plums to completely open her sense of taste, and with sweet rice and a little salty taste, as well as a faint sesame aroma, I promise that she can completely restore her appetite." ”

To be honest, Xiao Tao also didn't understand anything, but when she saw Mu Bangxiang's eyes shining when she talked about eating, she felt that this cook was so powerful.

Not only that, Mu Bangxiang also prepared a pot of good dragon wells for the old lady, accompanied by rice balls, and sent them to the main house together.

A faint scent of sandalwood rose from the three-legged copper beast incense burner, the old lady was lying on the couch, and a few maids were helping to pinch their legs.

I see Mu Bangxiang so envious, and when she gets old, she will find a few more people to serve her in the future, and she feels very comfortable looking at it.

"Old lady, the food is ready, do you want to taste it first?" Mama Wang took the rice ball in Mu Bangxiang's hand, bent down slightly, and asked softly.

The old lady slowly opened her eyes and looked at the rice balls stained with black sesame seeds, and her tone was undisguised disgust.

"Can you eat this kind of thing?"

Mama Wang glared at Mu Bangxiang, she heard yesterday that Mu Bangxiang made emerald green rice for his wife, and now it is like this, which is clearly perfunctory.

But Mu Bangxiang was recommended by her to the old lady, and she said that she could not be angry now.

She had no choice but to persuade patiently: "Old lady, you should also know that Madame has not eaten for many days, and after eating what she cooked, she immediately became refreshed, so you might as well taste it first." ”

Xu was moved, the old lady sat up slowly, pinched a piece of rice ball, took a careful bite, and immediately put it down.

"Isn't this just rice with grains of salt, I really can't eat anything unique."

"Old lady, there is a sour plum meat hidden in it, I would like you to try it together." This time, Mu Bangxiang stood up, she didn't want to be kicked out inexplicably.

"Are you teaching me to eat?" The old lady was very unhappy, she hated it most in her life, and others pointed fingers at her.

Mu Bangxiang hurriedly explained: "The slave maid is to let you enjoy delicious food, so I have the courage to say it. You might as well eat as the slave says, and if you still don't think it tastes good, the slave and maid will be at your disposal. ”

The old lady was interested, and she wanted to see how good the bland rice and sour plums could be.

According to what Mu Bangxiang said, she took a big bite, and the sour plum flesh stimulated the degenerated taste buds, and she immediately had an appetite, because she had not eaten food for a long time, and all her organs were very sharp.

If you take a bite of greasy food, it must be very uncomfortable, but now it is simply seasoned white rice, and everything is just right.

The old lady silently ate one rice ball, and even went to get the second one.

"Be careful of choking." Mama Wang was very happy to see the old lady eating, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Uh" said that the old lady suddenly covered her chest uncomfortably, Mama Wang panicked and asked people to pour tea, Mu Bangxiang quickly poured a cup of Longjing tea and handed it over.

The moment I drank it, my mouth was full of the fragrance of tea, and even had a faint aftertaste.

After the old lady came to her senses, she shook the teacup at Mu Bangxiang: "This is also specially prepared by you?" ”

"That's right." Mu Bangxiang replied with a smile.

"Very good, in the future, you will work in the small kitchen, and the salary will be doubled." After using the rice balls, the old lady's spirit also improved a lot, she waved her hand, "Let's retreat first!" ”

Mu Bangxiang took the order and respectfully retreated.
