"You just take it, otherwise my second uncle won't be happy."

Peony stuffed a tael of silver into Bai Ling's hand.

"The second uncle has some connections in the house, and the second uncle was wronged this time, and when the old lady is well, the benefits of the second uncle are indispensable, and maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. The second uncle heard about your family's affairs, and the money will buy medicine for your mother first, and when the second uncle's injury is healed, he will find a way to let you go home. ”

Seeing that the peony was indeed sincere in sending the silver, Bai Ling accepted it in the end, and handed it to Bai Wei, asking her to prescribe medicine for a few days to Bai Liu's family first, so as not to get worse if the medicine was broken.

Since dinner, Peony has been following Bai Ling, and when Bai Ling is cooking, Peony will put his hands on it and watch it very carefully.

guessed that Peony wanted to steal the teacher, Bai Ling also generously taught her some things she knew, and whether she could figure out the way out in the future depends on Peony's own understanding.

After staying in the Qian Mansion for three days, the old lady's situation was finally good, and she could walk around the courtyard by herself.

After the doctor checked the pulse and determined that the old lady did not need to take medicine to recuperate, Bai Ling was called to the old lady.

"You girl is bold, aren't you afraid that you will guess wrong, and if you collapse the old man's body, will you be sent to the government for punishment?" After the old lady saw Bai Ling, she asked with a bluffed face.

"I've heard before that Qianfu is a family of great kindness, and I won't embarrass me as a peasant girl." Bai Ling replied without humility or arrogance: "What's more, Mrs. Qian is sensible and extremely filial, if my method doesn't work, I won't use it on the old lady." ”

The old lady snorted, and did not explain that after listening to Bai Ling's words that night, Mrs. Qian asked her subordinates to do an experiment to determine that Bai Ling's method really worked, so she persuaded the old lady to induce vomiting, and tossed the old man until dawn.

Picking up the pig blood cake made by Bai Ling, the old lady asked happily, "Didn't you say that you can cook a lot of dishes?" Now that I'm in good health, when are you going to make it for me? ”

"Well...... this" Bai Ling's eyes rolled slightly, and he said with an embarrassed face: "The old lady will have food poisoning, and it has something to do with me, so I stayed in the Qian Mansion to serve your old man's food for three days." But the poor family couldn't open the pot, and my mother fainted with fright because I didn't come home that night and didn't carry a letter. As a girl, I really don't want to stay here and be a cook. ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows, glanced at Walnut, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The minion seems to have heard it said." Walnut scratched the back of her head.

Bai Ling rolled his eyes speechlessly, unable to stand Walnut's stupid appearance.

"It's okay for you to go home, but you have to cook a dish for the old man every day. If the old man is satisfied, he will give you a reward, and there will be no shortage of silver to buy rice at home. The old lady asked.

"This matter, I have to sum it up with my family, and come back to the house tomorrow to get back to you?" Bai Ling did not immediately give a positive answer.

Being a cook is not Bai Ling's goal, and most of what she knows is home-cooked food.

"What a verbose girl." The old lady waved his hand, squinted his eyes and shouted at the walnut: "Go and stare at this girl to make a rich dish, remember the reward first, and settle it together at the end of the month." ”

Bai Ling, who had just gotten up, almost fell to the ground.

Is there a monthly payment for the bounty? Isn't this a joke!

No matter what Bai Ling thought, he was escorted to the kitchen and made four dishes and one soup.

Mrs. Qian, who had just finished dealing with the friction in the concubine's room, picked up the teacup to moisten her throat, looked at Mama Hong and asked, "Have you tried all the things that the girl said about food restraint?" ”

"Tried."

Mama Hong said with a solemn face:

"There are a few dishes, but I didn't see an immediate reaction, and the old slave can't guess what the result will be after a long time. But there are a few dishes of food, put together, it is even more serious than the old lady's situation a few days ago, the doctor said that it was poisoned, but he couldn't say what poison it was. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, but no one died. ”

Mrs. Qian's face was slightly gloomy, and she was silent for a long time before asking, "We have also seen the world, but we don't know the saying that food is mutually restrictive." Mama Hong, do you think that girl is really just a peasant girl? ”

"This ......" Mama Hong hesitated for a moment and replied, "According to the results of the investigation, yes." ”

"Let people continue to pay attention to Bai Ling, secretly take care of one or two, and report immediately if they find an abnormality." Picking up a handkerchief and wiping the corners of her mouth, Mrs. Qian looked at the open door and said in a tired voice: "Don't attract the attention of others, sweep away all traces of Bai Ling and that person, so as not to be taken first." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mama Hong answered, and after waiting for Mrs. Qian to enter the house for a break, she called a capable maid and whispered a few words.

The money house is under the people's room.

"My sister really has some ability, and the old lady likes to eat your dishes now." Hearing Bai Ling say that she was leaving, Peony took her hand and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to come to Qianfu to be a cook?" One tael of silver a month, and a reward for doing a good job, and a few taels of silver for being promoted to the steward. ”

"My sister also knows the situation in my family, I am the eldest in the family, if I come to be a cook, the family will ......" Bai Ling shook his head with regret, and sighed softly: "Besides, I will have a few farm dishes, don't say that I will be a cook for the Qian Mansion, even the farmer's banquet for happy events can't be made!" ”

Peony glanced at Bai Ling, and saw that she really didn't mean to stay in the Qian Mansion, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"The dishes you can cook, the chefs in the house don't know. My second uncle asked me to tell you that if you really don't plan to stay, if you want to think of any new food in the future, come to the house to find me or my second uncle. Don't worry, my second uncle still said the same thing, even if the old lady doesn't like the dishes you make, he won't treat you badly. Peony said in a low voice, obviously not knowing that Bai Ling had been handpicked by the old lady.

"Well, I made a note of it. However, I promised the old lady to cook a few dishes for him, and I still have to come to the house a few times from tomorrow, but Sister Peony has to help me, or I can't be busy alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home again. Bai Ling nodded heavily and asked, "Sister Peony, have you asked Uncle Zhang, can you give me this carving knife?" ”

"Okay, if you come, go to the back door and let the mother-in-law take you to me. It's not just a knife, you can use it if you like. ”

Peony nodded generously, glanced at Bai Ling's clothes with patches, and said:

"This purse is given to you by Madame. Mama Hong told me that I should go to the small kitchen for you to pick up some useful things and take them home. And the change of clothes that have been prepared for you in the past few days, you should also bring them. ”

"That's embarrassing." Bai Ling grinned, said politely, and stuffed the purse into his sleeve.

Bai Ling has been changing and wearing clothes made of muslin these days, although they are worn by girls, they are all brand new.

Take it home and change it, I'm afraid that the little girls in the village will have to envy it.

"You're welcome, if you work for a few days, it will be regarded as your salary." Peony answered, then dragged Bai Ling into the kitchen, and whispered: "The ingredients in the house have always been rich, you can pretend whatever you like, as long as you move your back." ”

Bai Ling knew that the kitchen was fat, and after answering, he picked out some condiments, but the others did not move.

"What a solid-eyed girl." Peony glared at Bai Ling, and she really couldn't look past her.
