Chapter 60: Who Can Cook
In order to play the image point, as soon as the two came over, they purchased a yard.
Yu Liyuan's name is now Yu Yuan, and Shen Xingyue is also known as Shen Yue, just to not be recognized.
They didn't bring any servants, they bought the courtyard of Sanjin, and the things were moved in to clean up, and Shen Xingyue needed to buy vegetables and cook by herself.
Standing in front of the vegetable stall, Shen Xingyue picked and chosen, pretending to chat with the boss casually.
"Madame is a new face, the new one?" Although the owner of the vegetable stall is a small person, he is still quite well-informed, knowing that a large yard here has been sold, and it is a small couple who have moved in, so he immediately hooked up with Shen Xingyue in front of him.
"My family and I came from out of town, and I had a feud with someone in my hometown, plus I have been yearning for the scenery of Jiangnan since I was a child, so he also brought me here in order to avoid the enemy." Shen Xingyue's face showed a sweet color, but it quickly dimmed.
Seeing this, the boss was also a little puzzled: "That lady is the best life, I should be happy to meet such a hurting master, why are you still sad?" ”
The boss is a middle-aged woman, and at this age, she likes to dig up some gossip the most, and she is also a little curious about Shen Xingyue.
Shen Xingyue sighed: "Boss, you don't know, our head of the house originally opened a store over there, and now we have moved here, although we have some family backgrounds, but we are not familiar with the place, and we don't know what the future holds." ”
"I think the shop at Madame's house was originally prosperous, right? Otherwise, you can't buy the courtyard of Sanjin in one go, and let the master reopen a shop at that time, and the silver is not handy? "Just by looking at the clothes on Shen Xingyue's body, the boss knew that Shen Xingyue was originally a rich and noble family.
Shen Xingyue sighed again: "Before, we caused the incident because the store was too profitable, if he could, I hope he had better find a half-official position, even if he scatters all his family property, he also asks for stability, and will not be calculated." ”
Hearing her say this, the boss's face changed: "Madame, you can't talk nonsense, where can you buy an official position, there were such rumors a few days ago, but the people above have been disposed of, where do you dare to do this now." ”
"The boss doesn't have to be so cautious, I just want to think about it, how can there be such a good thing, don't say it, the head of the house is still waiting for me to go back to cook at home, and I'll install all of them." Shen Xingyue shook her head, settled the bill and went to buy some other dishes, and left in a hurry.
Back at the house, Yu Liyuan and Shen Xingyue looked at the vegetables they bought, and they were also staring at each other.
"Who's going to cook?" Shen Xingyue asked out loud.
Yu Liyuan's face changed: "I can't cook, and neither can Su Feng." ”
In order not to let Shen Xingyue ask Su Feng, Yu Liyuan rejected her thoughts in advance.
Shen Xingyue was dumbfounded, she knew how to cook, but she learned to do some in modern times, and she couldn't get on the table at all, so she could only eat at home, and now she ......
She sighed, she couldn't expect Yu Liyuan to do it, right? Coupled with what I said at the vegetable stall before, I can't go out and find someone to buy it now, so I have to wash the vegetables and cook by myself.
Su Feng helped to light the fire, but because he couldn't control the heat, the dishes he made were not very beautiful.
When they came out the next day, the vegetable stall owner beckoned Shen Xingyue to cook again, and Shen Xingyue's face turned pale.
"Boss, I'm not lying to you, it's okay for me to make soup for my husband, this cooking ......" Shen Xingyue looked embarrassed.
She didn't say the rest of the words, and the boss knew that what had not gone well yesterday had happened.
Shen Xingyue sighed again: "I'm still thinking about finding a chef, please go home, and I don't know where to find it." ”
The vegetable stall owner's eyes lit up: "Madam, you are asking the right person, my son was originally in the county government to cook for the county elder, and later the county magistrate cooked, my son was also dismissed, if Madame does not dislike it, let my son go to you to cook, the salary is not much, just give 100 wen a month." ”
Shen Xingyue calculated, one tael of silver is a thousand wen, a hundred wen...... Giving more than one or two pieces of silver a year is not as good as having a meal in the capital, so she directly agreed.
"Okay, then let him come over and cook." Seeing that she agreed so happily, without any bargaining, the boss was even more smiling.
"Then I'll go back and call my son over, madam, you wait here first, Lao Wang, help me watch the stall!"
Seeing that the owner of the vegetable stall hurriedly ran back, a man in tattered clothes also came over to help look after the stall.
He also listened to the conversation between the two just now, and when he saw Shen Xingyue's appearance, he was also a little unbearable: "Madam, in fact, it is generally enough to give fifty wen, and there is no need to give so much." ”
Shen Xingyue was stunned, was it?
She smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know these ......"
"Madame is everyone's young lady at first glance, I'm afraid she hasn't done housework, right?" Seeing that Shen Xingyue didn't mean to be angry, the man smiled instead, and also increased his good impression of Shen Xingyue.
Shen Xingyue also lowered her head, and her voice was a little lower: "Originally, there were many people in the family who served them, but now they are all ......"
As she spoke, Shen Xingyue's voice was also a little choked: "I only hope that my husband can get a half-official position here, so that he can support the two of us and not be bullied by others." ”
"How much silver do you have in Madame's house? If you want an official position, it's not cheap. The man was silent for a while, and when he saw that Shen Xingyue didn't look like he was pretending, he also asked.
Shen Xingyue's expression was shocked, and she looked at the man in surprise: "Is it really okay?" ”
The voice of the vegetable stall owner came from afar, and the man knew that there was little time, so he just whispered: "Tonight, Madame will open the door of your courtyard, and I will go in and talk to the master in detail." ”
"Thank you, sir, then." Shen Xingyue thanked her in surprise.
On the other side, the owner of the vegetable stall also came over with his son, and when he saw Shen Xingyue and the man, he also asked suspiciously, "Lao Wang, what did you tell your wife?" ”
"Nothing, just some common words." Lao Wang left with a smile, Shen Xingyue's face was as usual, and the vegetable stall owner didn't suspect it much.
"This is my son, he cooks very deliciously, and the county magistrates like to eat the food he cooks." The vegetable stall owner hurriedly pulled his son and said to Shen Xingyue, as if he was promoting something.
The vegetable stall owner's son is not small, and after knowing Shen Xingyue's purpose, his face was full of smiles, and he was very honest: "If Madame thinks it is not very reliable, then I will go back with Madame and cook a meal for Madame, and I will use the vegetables sold by my family and not charge Madame's money." ”
