"Eh, have you heard? Madame is back! "A maid had just come into the kitchen from outside, and she couldn't help but tell the people in the kitchen about it.

"Madame is back? Which lady? Xiaoyuan, the maid who was working, heard it, wrung out the water in her hand and looked at the maid.

The maid sneered and said, "Who else?" The lady in our house, in addition to the young master's mother-in-law, isn't there only the young master's wife left? The maid said, and said, "I saw the young master come back with his wife and the young master!" ”

"What's going on, Xiaocui? Didn't the lady say she wouldn't come back? It was ringing when I left before, but now why do I come back as soon as I get to the Mid-Autumn Festival? It's only been a long time! The maid next to her said slightly sarcastically while picking the beans, and the sarcastic expression on her face was also very obvious.

The maid, who was called Xiaocui, shrugged her shoulders and said, "How do I know? It came back all of a sudden, and I don't know what happened! And you know what? She is a dignified lady who thinks about cooking all day long, don't you know that I am listening outside! She's in a restaurant, and she only studies the dishes all day long, where is this like what our Wenfu lady would do? ”

"Although that's what I said, but if you don't know, don't talk nonsense, be careful of what the lady hears, people are upset, and they see you sending pillows to others, that's bad."

Hearing that those maids devalued Zhao Qingyan as worthless, Chef Chen couldn't help but retort: "I don't think this lady is a bad person, just a young girl, where did people offend you?" Why did you do this to her? Still saying bad things about her behind her back. ”

When the maids heard it, they were all silent, only Xiaoyuan was saying: "Chef Chen, I said don't be angry, if it wasn't for the lady who left, we wouldn't have said her words behind our backs, and now she wants to come back, isn't it a little too strange, I see the house inside, Mrs. Cheng may not agree." ”

"Then how can you say that this is also a family matter in someone else's house, why are you so gossip when you are a maid? Haven't you thought about yourself? If these words are spread out to class, it won't be much better for you, so why do you have to say bad things about others to be safe! Chef Chen's words were sharp, as if she shouldn't have said bad things about Zhao Tingyan.

Xiao Yuan didn't know what to say, just cut off, and then didn't speak again.

At this time, Xiao Cui said again: "We are just talking a few words, why are you talking to that Zhao Qingyan so much?" Are you taking any benefits from others behind your back? She doesn't treat you very well, people only think about apricots in their hearts, and you won't get much benefit. ”

What Xiao Cui said looked like she was treating Chef Chen as the kind of person who only wanted benefits, and Chef Chen was a little unhappy when she heard it.

"I just can't see your kind of gossip, people naturally have their own appearance as a wife, it's not your turn to discipline, whether you like to cook or like to clean, it's always someone else's business."

Saying that, Chef Chen seemed to be tired, picked up the water next to her and took a sip, and then continued: "Look at it, whether Zhao Qingyan is his wife or someone else is his wife, what you want is always just gossip, and it is better to listen to these gossips all day long than to do your own work well to impress the old lady." Besides, did you forget about Qiaoling? Or does anyone want to end up with her? ”

Hearing Chef Chen say this, the maids next to her didn't dare to say anything. After all, some maids didn't want to cause trouble, they just wanted to participate in the chat, and now they didn't say anything when they saw Chef Chen helping Zhao Qingyan so much.

The kitchen was so lively, but Zhao Qingyan, who was in the hall, didn't know it at all, and after she calmed Wen Zichen's emotions, Zhao Qingyan went to the kitchen.

I saw the sound of fireworks in the kitchen, and everyone was busy with their own business, but strangely no one was using the stove, at most a few wisps of smoke rose from the steamer next to it.

"Good evening, everyone." Zhao Qingyan greeted them when he came to the kitchen. "I see that the kitchen seems to be quite vacant at the moment, can you let me use it? I want to make a dish for my grandma. ”

The maids in the kitchen looked at each other. In the end, it was Chef Chen who smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we won't be of any use for these things tonight, madam, if you want to use it, then use it." ”

"Okay." Zhao Qingyan arrived, and then went to the corner of the kitchen and pulled out the remaining vegetable basket. After looking at the steamer, Zhao Qingyan asked, "Are you steaming something?" In the evening, the old lady seemed to have run out of dinner. ”

Seeing that no one answered, Chef Chen replied: "This steamer is just what we are used to using to rack on it, so that the people in the house can heat it up when they need to eat, so it won't take much time." ”

"Oh." Zhao Qingyan nodded as if he didn't understand.

Seeing that the fire on the stove was somewhat extinguished, Chef Chen saw Zhao Qingyan, who didn't seem to be able to light a fire, so she walked over and said, "Madam, do you need my help?" ”

Zhao Qingyan saw Chef Chen, nodded a little hesitantly, and said, "Then please leave it to you." ”

Chef Chen skillfully added firewood to it, and when she saw Zhao Qingyan cutting things next to her, she also added oil to the pot and heated it.

"Madame, let me do these things, you just have to tell me how to do it. A lady is always a lady, and she doesn't need to be all-encompassing, she does everything herself. Chef Chen said, with a smile on her face.

"No, I said I would cook for the old lady, what about you...... If you want to help me, can you please help me with the fire? Zhao Qingyan said, looked at Chef Chen, and made a request.

Chef Chen was naturally very willing, and quickly agreed to Zhao Qingyan.

Seeing Zhao Qingyan, his movements were neat, and it seemed that he had practiced thousands of times. Rao is Chef Chen, and she can't help but be a little surprised, not to mention the other maids in this kitchen.

Everyone originally thought that Zhao Qingyan was a whim, and there was not much real ability in it, but everyone didn't expect Zhao Qingyan to be so proficient in cooking.

The maid next to her watched Zhao Qingyan cooking, and the movements in her hands slowed down unconsciously.

When Zhao Qingyan made the dish, she looked at Chef Chen, whose face had been smoked a little black, and nodded, and said politely, "Thank you." ”

Chef Chen seemed to be very flattered by this, and hurriedly shook her head and said: "It's nothing, it's something we should do to help the master, don't say that, madam, if you say that, I won't be happy." ”
