Chapter 7: Half a Bowl

I knocked lightly on the door of the young master's study twice, and then said, "Young master, it's me Qing'er." ”

"Come in!"

Hearing the young master's response, he pushed open the door and stepped into the study.

At this time, the young master was wiping his face with a wet face towel, and when he saw me coming in, he put it in the basin.

"Young master, mother-in-law said, wait in the pavilion outside, breakfast will be ready soon."

"I know, you go and help the princess."

"Yes, young master."

I bowed my head and took a few steps back before turning to leave the study.

To be honest, compared to the young master's study, I prefer the kitchen in the back room, which smells of fireworks.

I prefer a variety of soups to a single ink.

People always say that you need a little ink in your belly, but I still like to fill my belly.

When I entered Liufu, I was rarely hungry, and I ate well to that family.

Although the clothes are not satin, they are also very good, and the torn clothes were also burned by the grandmother, and now there is no thought.

My parents did not lie to me, I did live well in Liufu, as long as I worked diligently, there would be a reward for the New Year's holidays, or the master's great joy.

Here, I don't lack food, I don't lack clothing, I just live carefully, and I don't feel so comfortable.

Forget it, I don't want to do so much, help Wang Po go.

"Mother-in-law, I'm back, young master, I've already said it."

"Well, let's serve the food."

"Yes."

After a while, the stone table in the pavilion was full of delicacies that I usually only had to watch from afar, stir-fried cabbage, fine meat and white porridge, and beef bone soup.

Although it seems that there are few styles, there are only three kinds, but the selection of materials is very exquisite.

For fresh vegetables, Wang Po only takes the delicate part, and doesn't want the rest, and sends them to the back kitchen.

And the fine meat and white porridge, the hairy pig slaughtered in the second half of yesterday night, was sent to Qingzhuyuan in the early morning, and it is also hind leg meat, which is absolutely delicate and tendonous.

Beef bones are also freshly slaughtered cattle and their ribs are simmered. Moreover, cattle are not the same as pigs, cattle are expensive and pigs are cheap, and ten big fat pigs cannot be exchanged for a yellow-headed cow.

And when I came to Liufu, although I had eaten meat, it was only pork, and I had never eaten beef.

In my opinion, cattle are the most expensive, followed by sheep, and then pigs.

I still vaguely remember that when the farm was busy, we needed to plough the land, and my parents always whispered to ask people to rent cattle for us.

So in my eyes, cows are very expensive, and I never thought I could drink its bone broth.

When the young master came, sat down gently, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, I dared to eat.

But as soon as I touched the bowl and was about to eat with chopsticks, Wang Po coughed twice.

Hey, I remembered that I got up late this morning, and the princess punished me, so I had to reluctantly put down the bowl.

Seeing this scene, the young master said suspiciously: "Is the princess cold, let's eat in the house in the future, it's also autumn, and I usually dress more." ”

"Young master, the old body is fine, it's just that the second girl got up late this morning, and the old body punished her for not being allowed to eat breakfast, and the cough just now reminded her."

"Mrs. Wang, forget it, Erya is only ten years old, and it is normal to snooze."

"Young master, you can not follow the rules, but your maidservant has to abide by the rules, she is here to serve you, not to enjoy the blessings."

"Okay, why don't you just eat a bowl of Erya."

When I heard the young master say this, I immediately became happy.

"No, half a bowl is fine, otherwise she won't have a long memory, and she will still do it next time."

Half happy, sure enough, it was too early.

The young master said that this was already his best effort, and then said a pack of "okay".

Although it was only half a bowl, I was very happy to pick up the dishes and chopsticks and slowly savor this rare delicacy.

"Mrs. Wang, what Uncle Zhao sent today is beef bones, it tastes good."

"Yes, young master, the stone said that it was a cow that fell to death, so he bought some beef bones, and I removed all the meat on them, and the young master can eat beef at noon."

"Where did the cow fall to his death, I think who let the cow "fall to death" in order to satisfy his own appetite, forget it, we can also be regarded as having the convenience of others. ”

Wang Po smiled and said: "Young master, you are right, every one or two months, there are always cows falling to death, otherwise they will die of illness, and it is also a loss to these people, and the young master can also eat beef and drink beef bone soup." ”

"By the way, Mrs. Wang, if you have time, you can change Erya's clothes, and in autumn, by the way, you can also prepare winter clothes."

"Okay, young master, the old body will do it."

Talk to you, I eat me, don't look at me, or I'll be exposed.

Wang Po said with bad intentions: "Erya, you didn't seem to have eaten half a bowl just now."

Oh, what to say, as the saying goes, starve the faint-hearted, support the courageous, but I'm not full, how can I die.

I had no choice but to play dumb and say, "It seems to be." ”

"Hahahaha, it's really interesting, Erya, you're really not afraid of death, I won't save you now."

What to do, I'm a little panicked now, no, I'm very panicked.

Wang Po smiled and said to me: "When you are full, go and chop firewood, remember not to be too coarse, not too thin, you have to chop the amount of tomorrow day." ”

Grandma Wang's smile made me shudder, but I still said weakly: "Mother-in-law, didn't you ask me to clean the yard today?" ”

"Then you, what are you still sitting for, do you want me to serve you to work?"

Granny Wang was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

"It's my mother-in-law, I'll go right away."

After saying that, I left the pavilion in a panic, found a bamboo broom, gently swept the fallen leaves, swept them together, and piled them into a small pile.

In the pavilion, the conversation between the young master and the princess continued, but unfortunately I couldn't hear it, so I didn't care so much.

"Young master, you haven't laughed much since Miss left, you should smile more in the future."

"Then Mrs. Wang, you have to take care of your body in the future, don't be angry with Erya."

“……”

"It's just a joke, yes, I haven't laughed much since my mother left, but fortunately there are a few old people with me.

Uncle Li helped me manage the Zhuangzi outside the city, Uncle Zhao helped me run the shops and restaurants in the city, and Mrs. Wang, you took care of my daily life by your side, and you have worked hard all these years.

By the way, Erya is not reliable, I hope it wasn't the person who inserted it. ”

Wang Po said solemnly: "Young master, when I was choosing someone, I didn't squeak anyone, and when I got there, I watched it for several days, and then I chose a greedy one, a righteous one, and a little clever at the same time."

Greedy, the food in the entire Liufu is the best in our Qingzhu Courtyard, even if it is the best existence outside, it is not easy to raise that girl's mouth, and it is not easy to eat other things.

Righteousness, this is the most important point for me, I will not betray my master, I have my own bottom line and principles, as long as the young master treats her well, she will also repay her kindness.

is smart, will not be easily deceived, better than those stupid maids, and I don't know what's going on when I'm cheated.

And her roots and feet are absolutely clean, I went to ask Lao Li about her parents, they are honest farmers.

After entering the house, he did not have any contact with the jealous woman.

And it is the person recommended by the flower lady in the back kitchen, so it should be reliable. ”
