Just after the hour, the Bai family's carriage came.

The one who came to pick them up was a steward from Baifu, surnamed Ding, who was about the same age as his uncle.

The original plan was for the uncle to go with Yu Wan and Yu Feng, but Xiao Tiedan suddenly woke up, hugged Yu Wan, and cried to follow along.

"Sister is here to do things, not to play." Besides, it's not like selling something in the bazaar, and you'll be back in an hour or two.

Xiao Tiedan hugged Yu Wan and didn't let go.

Yu Song walked out, coughed lightly and said, "Tie Dan has never been to the capital when he grows so big, let him go, it's a big deal that I'll look at him, right?" ”

Yu Wan and Yu Feng's eye knives flew over with a whizz, do you want to go yourself?!

Xiao Tiedan's delicate didn't spill Yu Wan, but made the uncle soft.

It's not a big deal to bring a child, and almost all of you who help cook in the countryside will bring your own children, but it's different in the city-

Uncle looked at Steward Ding.

Steward Ding said generously: "It's okay, just have someone watching." ”

So Yu Song and Xiao Tie Dan successfully got into the carriage.

Except for the uncle, several people were entering Beijing for the first time, and they were a little excited at first, wanting to see the scenery along the way, but they didn't even go to Lotus Town, so they all fell asleep in the carriage.

By the time they were woken up by the white steward, they had already entered the White Mansion.

It was not yet dawn.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Uncle Ding! ”

As soon as Yu Wan got out of the carriage, a thoughtful-looking young man led three vegetable sellers with flat burdens to fight and hurriedly walked by.

The young man greeted Steward Ding, who hummed lightly and waved his hand to let him go.

The young man and the vegetable seller entered the makeshift bamboo shed in front of the right, where the ingredients and tools were mainly placed, and the kitchen was about ten steps further east.

The kitchen is large, with two yards in front and back, a well in the backyard, and a total of nine stoves in the kitchen, five around the wall, four in the middle, eight of which are already occupied.

Steward Ding led Yu Wan and her party to the innermost stove, and said slowly: "There is only one pot on a stove, if it is not enough, there is a small stove in the bamboo shed." I'll have breakfast delivered to you in a moment, and I'll work hard for you today. ”

The young man who was in charge of greeting Fang was not very reasonable, it was probably Bai Tang who said hello, so he treated Yu Wan and his party so politely.

Uncle thanked him.

Steward Ding gave the uncle a pair of cards to receive things: "Miss is in the flower hall, there are many guests today, she probably doesn't have the time to come to the kitchen, if you have anything, just let the people from the bamboo shed go to me." ”

Yu Song muttered: "With such a big Bai Mansion, do you want her to open it herself?" ”

Steward Ding smiled: "Miss is also a filial piety. ”

Yu Song: "Oh. ”

There are some things that Yu Song doesn't know, but Yu Feng has heard of them.

Miss Bai is the daughter of Mr. Bai and Mrs. Xian, Mrs. Bai married Mr. Bai for ten years before giving birth to such a daughter, and then did not have any more children, Miss Bai was five years old, Mrs. Xian died.

A year later, Master Bai continued the strings, and his stepwife gave birth to a big fat boy for Master Bai.

It is rumored that Miss Bai and her stepmother do not have a good relationship.

Miss Bai doesn't want the Bai family's property to fall into the hands of her half-brother, and she naturally can't do it as someone else.

"Miss Bai's grandfather was an official in the court." As for what kind of official, Yu Feng didn't know.

Not long after Steward Ding left, someone brought breakfast, which was steaming white flour steamed buns and millet porridge, with pickles, salted eggs, and a plate of bacon fried cabbage.

Little Iron Egg's saliva was rattling.

Uncle peeled a salted egg for him.

Yu Wan gave him half a bowl of millet porridge and half a steamed bun.

The little iron egg feasted on it.

After eating, he obediently moved a bench and sat in the yard, not noisy or noisy, very well-behaved.

Yu Song looked at him firmly at first, and after watching for a while, Xiao Tie Dan could sit still than him, he coughed lightly, and turned around to help his family.

Those who came to cook today included the chefs of Baifu and Baiyulou, both of whom were members of the Bai family, but Yu Wan's family was airborne.

"I heard that the young lady personally went to the countryside to invite it."

"Miss is really messing around, how can the master's birthday banquet use a country cook?"

Everyone shook their heads, as if they didn't believe that a few countrymen could make any delicious dishes.

Yu Feng and Yu Wan went to the bamboo shed to receive the ingredients, among which there were dozens of live ducks.

Ducks are to be slaughtered.

This kind of work used to be Yu Feng's, but since Yu Wan came, Yu Feng's knife work has been fiercely disliked.

Yu Wan took the duck to the backyard.

It's getting brighter.

In the faint morning light, the girl carried a knife and sweated like rain, and the duck feathers were blown to the ground by the cold wind.

On the other side of the Yan Mansion, Yan Ruyu slept until dawn.

The room was warm, and twelve maids rushed in, holding delicate toiletries and eight sets of heads and dresses for her to choose from.

Today is her big day, she has been carefully dressed for a long time, picked a lake blue tunic dress, a plain white rabbit fur pipa short jacket, and a pair of fine silver silk mutton fat jade earrings on the white jade-like delicate earlobes.

The girl is elegant, touching, and unbelievably beautiful.

As soon as Mrs. Yan entered the house, she saw her fairy-like daughter walking down from the mural, and she was amazed.

She excitedly took her daughter's hand: "My son, when Master Yan sees you, I will never see another woman in this life!" ”

Today is also a big day for Yu Wan.

The opportunity is rare, she wants to help her uncle cook the dishes well and make a reputation, and in the future, when the orders are so large that they fly, she will no longer have to worry about running out of money to eat and treat diseases.

All the ducks had been disposed of, and she was covered in blood, and she was a little embarrassed, but she didn't care about it, and hurriedly went to cut the radishes and sweet potatoes again.

In addition to the taste, the plate is also very important for a delicate dish.

She cut it very well, white petals, purple lace, yellow stamens, and water droplets on the petals, layered on top of each other, delicate, not like they were piled up with ingredients, but like they had just been plucked from a tree.

"Sister."

Little Iron Egg came over aggrievedly.

Yu Wan stopped what she was doing: "What's wrong?" Are you hungry? ”

Little Iron Egg nodded.

Recently, I've been eating a lot more, and I'm always hungry after a while.

It's not time to eat right now, and there's meat in the pot but it's not fully cooked.

Fortunately, Yu Wan was prepared: "I brought scallion pancakes, find a stove to heat it up for you." ”

Yu Wan went to the bamboo shed to get a small stove, found a quiet corner in the backyard, made a good stove, set up a small kettle, poured a spoonful of oil, put three large and round scallion pancakes into it, and the aroma of fried chives came out at once.

Xiao Tie Dan consciously moved the small bench.

After the scallion pancake was heated, Yu Wan extinguished the open flame, leaving only a trace of charcoal to continue baking the bottom of the kettle.

"Sister, go get busy, I'll eat it myself!" Xiao Tie Dan said sensibly.

"Okay." Yu Wan went to do something.

The little iron egg stayed to eat the cake.

This is a lamb carrot stuffed scallion pancake, made by Yu Wan herself, it smells fragrant and tastes......

"I'm a good brother who is not a picky eater!" Xiao Tie Dan patted his little chest and said.
