Seeing that she didn't mean to agree, Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment and continued: "Miss doesn't care who is left around, that person must have a time when he is not energetic, in case something goes wrong and misses, it will not be good to delay Miss's affairs." ”

Not only can you have a big picture, you can think, you can explain the pros and cons clearly, and you can insist on persuading yourself if you don't agree.

Talent!

Li Yi is really satisfied with Xiaocui. It's a pity that she is Lin Tiankuo's person, and she can't get her heart.

sighed in his heart, and hurriedly comforted Xiao Cui: "What you said is very reasonable, I didn't think about it before." ”

"During the time I stayed with the old lady, I would cook for her every day. The old lady has only one cook, and there are not enough people. And I need to buy vegetables from the big kitchen, and I don't feel at ease with the money in her hands. Li Yi explained slowly.

"I wanted you to take charge of this recently." Li Yi wants to wait for her small kitchen to be built, someone must be in charge of that place, it is better to let them get used to it in advance.

"Xiaohong and Xiaoqing are alone for a day, and they take turns to serve here. As for Xiao Cui, you are responsible for communicating and coordinating with the people in the big kitchen and buying ingredients from them. Xiaolan, you just need to help me and the cook while cooking. On duty at night, it's still the same as before, Xiaohong and Xiaocui come in turns. ”

She said her decision this time, and she didn't mean to discuss it with them. Xiao Cui hurriedly praised her for thinking thoroughly. Others did not dare to have any opinions.

Xiaohong and Xiaoqing are obviously very concerned about the matter around them. We all have our own minds, but we can understand it.

Especially Xiaohong, who has followed her for many years, is very sincere and diligent. If she was to be assigned something else, it would make her feel cold.

Xiaolan was obviously very relaxed when she just announced that she would only keep one person, it seems that she only thinks about relaxing, so arrange for her to only go to the kitchen twice a day, and let her distribute freely at other times, which can be regarded as making her wish come true.

Among these four people, Li Yi only assured that Xiao Cui would negotiate with the people in the big kitchen. She also had the intention of exercising, after all, she needed to reconcile with Lin Tiankuo to open a restaurant in the future.

Why does she believe in Lin Tiankuo so much? He made a promise, and she didn't worry.

After arranging everyone's work during this time, she took Xiaoqing to Liu's mother's residence.

"Mother Liu, are you up? Mademoiselle has come to see you. Xiaoqing knocked on the door. Xiaocui had already told them what she had learned about Liu's mother's routine. This was the time when she was ready to go out to serve the old lady.

The door was quickly opened: "Oh, how can you bother Miss to run by herself." Liu's mother was humble on her lips, but she was very useful in her heart.

Li Yi bowed to her: "Mother Liu, Yun'er came today to discuss with you about cooking food for the old lady." ”

"The young lady has tormented the old slave. I don't dare to discuss, and if I need anything, just ask. She guessed that Chen Xiaoyun wanted to use the old lady's kitchen, but she didn't mention it, waiting for Chen Xiaoyun to show weakness first.

Li Yi was slightly uncomfortable, but still spoke very politely: "Yun'er is thinking about making some food for the old lady every day." If you do it in a different way, maybe it will make the old lady eat a few more bites. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yi paused, but Liu's mother remained silent.

"It's inconvenient to live here, go to my mother's place to cook, and then bring it back. The old lady's small kitchen is not used much on weekdays, so it is better to borrow it. She gave Liu's mother face and said her needs.

Mother Liu was satisfied: "Miss is filial, and the old lady will definitely feel it." You can use it as much as you want. The old lady in the kitchen didn't use it a few times a month, so she didn't have to make the cook lazy. ”

Li Yi thanked Mother Liu and came to the old lady's kitchen.

The cook was squatting at the kitchen door eating snacks, and when she saw Chen Xiaoyun coming over, she hurriedly stuffed the snacks into her pocket and stood up. He saluted Chen Xiaoyun.

"No need to be polite. I don't know what you call it? ”

"The slave's husband's surname is Liu." The cook whispered back.

Last name Liu? Does it have anything to do with Liu's mother?

She pretended to joke: "What a coincidence, it is the same surname as Mother Liu next to the old lady." ”

The cook did not hide it: "Mother Liu is the mother-in-law of the slave family." ”

"Then I'll call you Aunt Liu, okay?" Li Yi sighed in his heart, and he was another one who couldn't be provoked.

Although she never wanted to overwhelm people, she didn't like the situation of being careful everywhere.

"Aunt Liu, today I moved in with the old lady. These days, I will borrow this small kitchen to cook some food for the old lady. Please also help. She said and motioned for Xiaoqing to give the gift she brought to Aunt Liu.

What she gave Aunt Liu was a piece of cloth. It is much more valuable than the two people in Chen's mother's small kitchen.

This is the old lady's territory, and the kitchenette is just borrowed. It was different from Chen's mother telling her to use the name of her small kitchen directly.

Aunt Liu took it in surprise, this piece of fabric was enough for her to make a dress. Miss is really generous.

Xiaocui brought a piece of meat from the big kitchen, and Li Yi asked the cook to add ginger to chop into minced meat.

Xiaolan also came to help, and she was a little unhappy. Although she was more free than before, helping out in the kitchen made her feel that she was not valued by Chen Xiaoyun.

There were three other people, one in charge of the money, and two took turns to serve by his side. He was the only one who was assigned to the kitchen.

This kind of emotion accumulated to the point that Li Yi asked her to boil water, and she was a little reluctant.

Li Yi felt it and said to Xiao Qing: "Qing'er, help me go to the garden to pick some green vegetables, wash them and bring them over." ”

Xiaolan felt a lot more relieved when she saw that the person who was serving by her side also had to help with the kitchen work.

Seeing that her mood was relaxed, Li Yi no longer paid too much attention and started to make "green vegetable meatball soup" seriously. She thought of this dish yesterday when she was stirring the wonton filling.

On the surface, he talks to himself, but in fact, he tells others: I don't know if it will be delicious to cook this filling directly without wonton wrappers.

Others didn't know the answer and advised her to try. So today she can try to make this dish "in the bright light".

Cut the minced meat, add a little salt, add water and stir to strengthen. This should add some starch, and the balls that come out of this way are not easy to disperse. But she wasn't sure if there was a "starch" in this world. She didn't dare to ask, so she could only make do with the water to beat the meat.

When the water in the pot began to bubble slightly from the bottom, she began to make meatballs. Holding a handful of minced meat in his left hand, he squeezes a round ball out of the tiger's mouth. Take a spoon in your right hand, dip it in water, dig out the meat ball from the tiger's mouth in your left hand, and put it in the pot.

This is repeated repeatedly, and soon the minced meat runs out. Cover the pot and simmer for a while until the meatballs are cooked. Add the greens and add salt. A pot of meatball soup is ready.

This pot of soup is not eaten by the old lady and herself. She really wanted to bring some to Chen's mother, but she was afraid that the old lady would be dissatisfied with her if she knew: use the old lady's kitchen to cook food for her mother!

So he asked Xiaocui to fill the soup for two people and send it to the second brother. Ask him to give it to his mother. She was very happy that she could think of such a way to get the best of both worlds, her mother could taste the dishes she cooked, and her second brother did his filial piety.

The meatball soup was praised by the old lady at dinner. She served the soup with the bun and ate two in a row.

Soup goes well with rice.

Li Yi remembered that in the light curtain, she had seen Chen Xiaoyun eating "rice", why was it "porridge" every day recently? In the past, although the food in the light curtain was not rich, it was also varied compared to the current uniformity.

What's going on?
