Chapter 58, Eating and Drinking
So far, Liu Ruyue has lived in Aunt Fang's Yayin Garden in Chen Mansion.
She could see that Bai Zhi was not willing to take care of her child as a cook, and she didn't mind, and she didn't worry about others taking care of the child.
The kitchenette was so clean, so clean that there wasn't even a cook.
Liu Ruyue felt that her guess was right, something must have happened to Yayin Yuan before, causing Aunt Fang to tidy up the small kitchen.
At the beginning, Aunt Fang didn't ask Liu Ruyue to cook anything for her, basically she just cooked food for the nurse.
Seven days passed, and Aunt Fang began to slowly let Liu Ruyue cook for her, and gradually became very satisfied with her cooking skills, and began to arrange every meal.
After that, Bai Zhi's attitude towards her eased a little.
This is the case in the house, and the relationship between the subordinates also depends entirely on the honor given by the master.
Liu Ruyue did not become invincible because of the change in the attitude of the maids and grandmothers around her, and she was still harmonious.
On this day, she fried some sunflower seeds, made salt-and-pepper peanuts, and coconut water chestnut cake, put them on a plate, and made a pot of sweet wine made of sweet glutinous rice.
In the afternoon, Bai Zhi, who didn't have to wait in front of Aunt Fang, Huang Ling, a second-class maid who was not on duty, Deng Er's daughter-in-law who managed sprinkling and sweeping, and Qian Hui's daughter-in-law who managed the flower nursery, were called to eat and play in the small courtyard of Yayin Garden.
A group of maids and women circled around the stone table, where was Bai Zhi's reluctance at the beginning, picking up the crispy and crispy pepper and salt peanuts, and eating them deliciously, "Wan Niang's cooking skills are really good, only one peanut is compared to the peanuts I have eaten before." ”
Liu Ruyue only took the rattle and shook it slowly but didn't make a sound, teasing the dog baby in her arms, and quipped, "Look, Bai Zhi wants to ask for more snacks to eat, and her small mouth seems to be as sweet as honey." ”
"Wan Niang made fun of me, what I said was true, not coaxing Wan Niang, right Huang Ling, Deng Er's daughter-in-law, Qian Hui's daughter-in-law." Bai Zhi put down her chopsticks, poured a glass of white cloudy sweet wine, and put it in her mouth.
A cool sweetness spreads in the throat, and the mouth is fragrant, and I don't know how the sweet wine is brewed by Wan Niang, but it is cold and cold, and there is no ice in the next room.
Qian Hui's daughter-in-law, who is an alcoholic, took the lead in pouring sweet wine and drank it, and when the girl ate snacks, she had already drunk 5 glasses.
Although sweet wine is not as intoxicating as sorghum wine with high purity, but this taste is the sweet fragrance that women like, and it also has the aroma of wine, Qian Hui's daughter-in-law drank slightly drunk at the corners of her eyes, and picked up Bai Zhi's words, "Yes, Bai Zhi is right, she has been serving in her aunt's house for three years, and she has not been rewarded for any delicious food, and there is still a basis for her to say this." ”
Liu Ruyue still shook her head in disbelief, "What kind of family is the Chen Mansion, I'm afraid the chefs hired by the big kitchen are all rare good hands in Dongting County, I'm a young chef who has just arrived, where can I compare with them." ”
Huang Ling was happily eating the yellow-orange-orange-crystal transparent coconut milk mille-feuille cake with both hands, and when he heard this, he put down his hand, licked his lips and said, "We're not talking about a big kitchen, and those cooks in the little chefs who used to serve Aunt Fang can't compare with Wan Niang's craftsmanship." ”
Bai Zhi drank two cups of sweet wine in a row, after all, she was a little girl who didn't eat wine often, and she was a little fluctuating after eating wine, "Huang Ling is right, I think Wan Niang's cooking is delicious." ”
"Look at you are also innocent and cute, after eating my things, you will say that I am good, I can be liked by you, I am also happy, the biggest wish of being a cook is to make people eat happily." Liu Ruyue didn't have to continue to ask anything, she was new to the city, and she couldn't be in a hurry.
She chose to invite everyone to eat and drink today, just when she deliberately chose Mama Wei to be on duty, but she didn't plan to ask anything, she had only been here for a short time at the moment, presumably Aunt Fang was still wary of her.
In the back house, it is very common for newcomers to invite the maid to have a drink, snacks, no matter where you need to get through the network, inquire about the news of the back house so that you can settle down, on the surface of nature it is not possible, but it is not completely prohibited.
Liu Ruyue hadn't done it before, but she saw that others had done it, and she wouldn't invite her to eat when others made wine and food.
It's not so handy to do it now, but she just wants to take it slowly.
This time, she didn't mainly inquire about Aunt Fang's small kitchen, but asked curiously, "Why have I been in the house for so long, and I haven't seen the master and the housewife?" ”
Deng's second daughter-in-law loves Liu Ruyue's fried sunflower seeds, and she never stopped eating melon seeds, snorted the melon seed skin to the side, and said, "The owner is busy outside all year round, who knows if he is now screening seeds on Zhuangzi, or going to Jiangnan to talk about business?" ”
Qian Hui's daughter-in-law still held the wine glass, unwilling to let go, "The housemother Liu went back to her parents' house for the funeral, it's only been half a year, and she may have to stay at her mother's house for a while, after all, the road is far away, and she takes the eldest son, even if she comes back, it will take a lot of time." ”
Liu Ruyue put down the rattle, poured double the sweet wine, and suppressed the thoughts in her eyes, no wonder she returned to the Chen Mansion, and she didn't see that everyone was worried about the safety of the Liu family, thinking about what happened to the Liu family, no one had brought back the news.
Or maybe someone brought back the news, but the people didn't know about it.
She took a sip of wine with a little thoughtfulness, "I don't know if the housewife is at home, will we always make rules?" ”
Qian Hui's daughter-in-law stretched out her hand to tease the dog baby, and said with relief, "Don't worry, our Chen family's back house is peaceful, the housemother Liu is virtuous and virtuous, and the heart of the mother is always good, and she will never grind us people, besides, our Aunt Fang is also very favored by the lord, and she also respects the housemother. ”
"When the housewife left, she took the initiative to hand over the power of the family to our Aunt Fang." Bai Zhi's face was red from drinking, and her eyes were full of pride.
"The peace and harmony of the house is really a blessing for us as subordinates." Liu Ruyue patted her chest in fear, "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the sisters, I don't have much knowledge, as soon as I said that I wanted to go into the house to find an errand, my nerdy husband scared me, saying that he had read the book that said that the back house of the big family was complicated, and also said that people like me who can't speak will have to be beaten every day when the time comes." ”
"I'll just say that Wan Niang doesn't like to talk on weekdays, she looks cautious, and the source is here."
"The husband is the sky, he reads a lot of books, and he talks about a set of big truths, can I not listen to him." Liu Ruyue filled a few people with sweet wine, and smiled sincerely, "Today, with everyone's advice, the big stone in my heart can be regarded as letting go." ”
