Chapter 52, Choosing Dishes

Smack

Right in front of my eyes, a white pile of pickles fell from the sky.

Coincidentally, it fell on the head of the middle-aged woman who had just finished asking Liu Ruyue to sell herself into slavery with the child.

She only felt a chill on the top of her head, reached out and touched it, and shouted at the sky with wide eyes, "Oops, which little beast did it!" ”

The women who were still talking cool to Liu Ruyue together covered their mouths and exchanged their heads, "Oh my God." ”

"Unlucky, unlucky."

"Bad luck, you hurry up, fortunately you haven't entered the Chen Mansion yet, God sent down instructions to remind the steward that you are an unlucky person, let you enter the mansion, maybe it will bring some chaos."

"That's it, let's go!"

The middle-aged woman only felt speechless at the moment, but she didn't expect that she would be so unlucky and be cut off from a good opportunity to enter the Chen Mansion by a little brute.

can only hide his face with hatred and flee.

When I ran past Liu Ruyue, I wanted to bump into her.

However, Liu Ruyue already had an embankment, flashed to the side, and found that the woman behind her was blocking her retreat, so she took out a large soup spoon and slapped the hand of the woman who rushed over.

Let her plot not succeed.

In the back house before, I saw too many of these small means, and I had to pull a person into the water when I died.

The steward standing on the steps took in everything and clapped his hands, "Okay, let's come in." ”

Liu Ruyue didn't look at the woman who was slapped with a spoon by her, and after following the team to hand the road guide to the steward for inspection, she followed them one by one into the back door of the Chen Mansion.

The eight-figure beard steward at the door handed them over to a well-dressed grandmother, around 40 years old, well-maintained, and graceful.

"You can call me Mama Wei, come in with me."

"Yes." The women who were still sharp-tongued outside were all bowing their heads at the moment, looking well-groomed.

Mama Wei was very satisfied with this, and led everyone inside, "Although this is the back door, you haven't entered the Chen Mansion to do things yet, and the scenery in this mansion is not something you can look at will, don't walk with your head up, hang your head, but don't bump into the nobles." ”

"I'll take you to the big kitchen to test your skills first, and if you do well, stay on duty."

At this point, she stopped, and everyone stopped with her.

Some of the women walked too fast, couldn't stop, and bumped into the people in front of them, looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Mama Wei frowned, twisted the handkerchief and touched her forehead, "Although you mainly stay in the kitchen and cook meals, you don't have to wait in front of the master, but if you are still so frizzy after entering the mansion, maybe you will be kicked out of the board, the cook who was driven away by the Chen family, which family in Dongting County will dare to ask you in the future?" ”

"Of the ten of you, only one of you can stay in the house to serve the master."

"I'll show you the bottom, you are not the cook who serves in the big kitchen, you are the cook specially selected for Aunt Fang to take care of her confinement, you are on the way to the kitchen, just think about it, what to cook for a while to nourish the confinement mother."

Mama Wei's eyes swept over the cooks, saw the anxiety, confidence, and worry on their faces, turned around and walked forward again.

Liu Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief, she was really serving the confinement mother.

Fortunately, she had already guessed it, so she already knew it.

In the last life, she served the confinement mother of the back house, and some of the aunts who were favored by the back house had to eat a lot of tonics, and the supplements, chickens, ducks, fish and geese sent by the house's mother, only the more the better, but the result was to eat too much, and people were blessed, and the lord was disgusted.

This Aunt Fang didn't know what kind of person she was, and what she learned from Chen Yao's mouth was not necessarily true, but she didn't dare not believe it.

Liu Ruyue doesn't do anything about eating.

She met Mrs. Liu in the car at that time, and the two grandmothers around Mrs. Liu were both people who knew some of these exquisiteness.

If she harmed Mrs. Liu, it was really Aunt Fang, then Liu Ruyue wouldn't dare to play any tricks in front of her.

Either Aunt Fang is a master of house fighting, or she has helpers around her who know these methods.

Then in order to apply for the kitchen lady now, she has to think about the body of the confinement mother wholeheartedly.

Nourishment is a must, but it can't be a dish that pushes Aunt Fang to obesity.

After figuring these things out, Liu Ruyue's heart was as calm as water.

After a cup of tea, I came outside the big kitchen.

There is an open space outside the kitchen, where you can dry food and spices on weekdays, but now there are coal stoves on the stove.

There was a main table in front of the stove, and there was no one sitting at the moment.

Tables were also placed on the left and right sides, with a big man with a fat head and big ears on the left, and a somewhat older cook in a cloth dress sitting on the right.

Come to think of it, this is the old cook who decided to stay for a while.

As for the main seat, it should be reserved for Aunt Fang, but she hasn't come yet.

Mama Wei stepped forward and stood at the main table, pointing to a long table full of ingredients next to the kitchen door.

"All the dishes are there, everyone has to make two dishes and one soup, take too many dishes, there are leftovers after cooking, the portion is too large and can't be eaten, it's a waste. If you take less food, you can't go and get food again. Each person can only take the dish once. ”

In just one sentence, the requirements are simple and clear, "Take the basket next to you and go up to pick vegetables, remember the rules, and don't push or grab things." ”

Everyone didn't expect it to be such a request, and after listening to it, they picked up the vegetable baskets around them and ran towards the kitchen door in a swarm, but everyone still remembered Mama Wei's reminder and was not too reckless.

Liu Ruyue carried the child on her back, didn't dare to rush forward, walked forward with the basket, and picked up the vegetables that she had already counted in her heart into the basket one by one.

The old hen and black-bone chicken who have already taken care of the chicken feathers are the first choice of the cooks.

Pig's trotters are also everyone's favorite.

However, in addition to chicken and pig's trotters, there are also thigh bones, beef, mutton, venison, crucian carp, pigeons, and other ingredients suitable for pregnant women.

Seeing these ingredients, the people who had just picked up the old hen and pig's trotters hesitated again, and the dazzling meat and tonic made them dazzled and their hearts were alive.

After all, most of everyone's first choice is old hens and pig's trotters, and if everyone cooks the same dish, their own feelings and chances of winning may not be so great.

Although everyone is very confident in themselves, who knows that if there is one person who is good at making old hen soup?

Maybe you can find another way, anyway, the rich people's families are not bad at home, and in the future, they can be made in a different way for the confinement mother to eat, and they can also be tricky.

Thinking like this, many people put down their first choice and went to get more precious ingredients than old hens and pig's trotters.

Liu Ruyue paused and glanced at Mama Wei again, there was actually a plump woman standing next to the main table, and she looked like a nurse.
