Grandma Ge was waiting for Yan Zhenzhen at the door of the big kitchen: "Third Miss, you can come, the old slave has been waiting here for a long time." ”

"Grandma Ge, I thought I was here early enough, but who knew it was still late." Yan Zhenzhen glanced at the east, where it was dark at this time, and it was about an hour before sunrise.

"Where?" Grandma Ge said with a smile: "The big kitchen starts to prepare food at three o'clock, this is the habit of the old lady to enter the palace in the past, and it has been the case for many years, and the warehouse in the kitchen is to be opened at two o'clock, handed over to the miscellaneous servants of each kitchen, and the rough envoy will bring the ingredients back, and now it is the right time, so the old slave said that the third lady is late." ”

"In other words, the kitchens have already brought back the ingredients?" Yan Zhenzhen looked around, except for her, Siyun, and Grandma Ge, there was only a rough envoy beside Grandma Ge, and there was no one else: "Then what am I doing here?" ”

"Exactly!" Grandma Ge smiled: "Third Miss, please follow the old slave to the warehouse." ”

Not far behind Grandma Ge, there was a locked door, and Grandma Ge motioned to Yan Zhenzhen: "Third Miss, you open the door first." ”

Yan Zhenzhen took out the key and pair of cards in her sleeve, and stepped forward to open the brass lock hanging from the door.

Chunyun, who was following her, stepped forward and pushed open the door.

In that room, there are rows of wooden shelves, on which are placed dry goods, dried meat, dried fish, a jar of wine, sauce and so on. There are mountain delicacies, seafood, and the fragrance of all kinds of ingredients that I have never seen before.

There are not thousands of them, but hundreds.

"So many things? What do you want me to do? Yan Zhenzhen looked at the dazzling variety of ingredients on the shelf, and suddenly she was a little at a loss.

The ingredients here come from all over the world, not to mention those that fly in the sky, run on the ground, swim in the water, grow in the ground, and form knots on trees.

"Third Miss, don't worry, as long as you listen to the old slave once, you will know what to do." Grandma Ge moved, and the rough mother-in-law took out a thick booklet from the wall and handed it to Grandma Ge: "There are two copies of this booklet, one is in the hands of the old slave, and one is here, when it is put into the warehouse, the two booklets are recorded together, and when it is out of the warehouse, according to this booklet and the material certificate, the old slave checks it, and then copies it in the booklet in the hand of the old slave." ”

"This management kitchen, just one word, plate, what you buy, where to use it, how much to consume, how much inventory, check and fill in the gaps, prevent rodents, pests and prevent thieves. This is one of them, and the second is that if there is a problem with the ingredients in the kitchen, there can be traces to follow, so as not to be blinded. ”

Grandma Ge handed the booklet to Yan Zhenzhen: "The third miss first looks at what is in the library, what is missing, those things are moldy and rotten, not fresh, you can use someone to make up for the new one, the third lady in the hand of the card is convenient to enter and exit the door, the old slave has been around, if the third miss does not understand, you can ask at any time." ”

This is a hand-in-hand teaching, Yan Zhenzhen sincerely thanked her: "Thank you Grandma Ge, I will learn by heart." ”

"The third young lady is really tormenting the old slave." The panicked Grandma Ge saluted again and again.

Chunyun beside Yan Zhenzhen hurriedly stepped forward to support Grandma Ge: "Grandma Ge, our young lady still has to count on your guidance, we can't waste Madame's hard work." ”

"The women in the back house have to learn to manage the house, and the kitchen is a part of the house, but unfortunately, some young ladies dislike the kitchen pickled and are unwilling to condescend." Grandma Ge was a little regretful, and only mentioned vaguely, and individual young ladies did not elaborate: "It's really good that the third young lady can come to learn." ”

Yan Zhenzhen couldn't cry or laugh, she was able to come to the kitchen to study with her, thanks to her gentle, generous, beautiful and understanding sister: "Then I should thank my mother and second sister for their love?" ”

Grandma Ge sighed with pity on her face: "The third lady should be rested, and she will start to familiarize herself with the warehouse after resting." ”

Dong Yun was anxious, and immediately stepped forward to reason with Grandma Ge: "Grandma, this is the third young lady, she is the master, how do you talk to the master?" ”

Grandma Ge was expressionless: "Now there are only students and gentlemen." ”

"You ......"

Yan Zhenzhen raised her hand to stop Dong Yun: "I can learn to manage the kitchen with Grandma Ge, I can use it after all, and I have to thank Grandma Ge." ”

"Third Miss, let's get started. The kitchen has to come twice to receive the ingredients. ”

Yan Zhenzhen picked up the thick booklet and flipped through the categories and quantities one by one, comparing them with the actual number on the shelf.

When Yan Zhenzhen followed Grandma Ge to learn to manage the kitchen, Mrs. Yan had already taken Yan Jiajia to Boyun Courtyard to serve the sick: "Grandfather is a man, and some places are quite inconvenient, you ask your brother to do it, no matter how bad it is, call a family from the front yard." ”

Yan Jiajia was very proud in her heart, the three rooms took turns to serve the sick, Yan Zhenzhen was taken care of the kitchen by her, and she never had a chance to get close to Boyun Courtyard.

Yan Zhenzhen will stammer with the old lady, won't she?

Although the old lady is not very in charge of things, he is in a high position in the court, and he is still very useful to her, if she can become the old lady's favorite granddaughter, she will also rely on her in front of the five princes in the future.

"Mother, don't worry, I know what to do." Yan Zhenzhen took Mrs. Yan's arm: "Zhenzhen has gone to learn to manage the kitchen, if she doesn't come to serve the sick, will she be criticized by the other rooms?" ”

"Zhen Zhen went to learn how to manage the kitchen, that was my order, who would dare to criticize it?" Mrs. Yan knew very well in her heart, where would Yan Zhenzhen serve the sick? She deliberately brought the smartest, sensible, gentle and lovely Yan Jiajia to serve the sick, Jiajia has a good temperament, and the old lady may like her.

"That's good, I'm afraid that other houses will criticize Zhenzhen." Yan Jiajia showed a contented smile, but Mrs. Yan didn't see it.

A steward stood at the door of Boyun Courtyard and stopped Mrs. Yan and Yan Jiajia from advancing: "Big lady, second miss, please go back!" ”

Mrs. Yan said softly: "Isn't the old lady unpleasant? I have already discussed with the second and third rooms, and we will take turns to serve the sick. ”

"Please come back, both of you." The steward saluted Mrs. Yan: "With Dr. Chen and Uncle Zhou waiting, the old lady is much better." ”

Yan Jiajia couldn't help but secretly pinched the handkerchief in his sleeve.

Obviously in the morning, Yan Zhenzhen went in and out of Boyun Courtyard at will, where did anyone stop her?

She had already driven Yan Zhenzhen to the kitchen, and she couldn't even enter this Boyun Courtyard?

Yan Jiajia held back the resentment in his eyes, stepped forward and said to the steward: "It's better to take charge or return to the old lady, we are here to serve the sick and filial piety, please let him see the granddaughter's filial piety." ”

The steward repeated again: "Madame, please take the second lady back." The old lady said that there was not a single woman in his yard, and it was inconvenient to serve the sick, and he did not need his children and grandchildren to serve the sick. ”
