Chapter 125: Hua Manxi's surrogate mother goes to work
Now that she knew, how could she sit idly by.
"Manxi, go back, my mother is fine, I have caught the medicine, as long as I drink the medicine, I will be fine, the leave given by the owner will arrive tomorrow, and I will go to work." Hua Lanxiang said and coughed again.
I still have to go to work, Lang Zhong specially explained just now, I want to have a good rest! Otherwise, the gods can't save it! How could it be possible to still watch her go to work.
"Mother, can you stay overnight? I'll stay and take care of you, and I'll go to work tomorrow on your behalf, and I'll go back when you're well." Hua Manxi decided.
"What are you doing staying here! Go back! Mom is fine! Hua Lanxiang was anxious and panicked, and reprimanded in a hurry, but her blood surged, and as soon as she finished speaking, she fainted.
It's not okay not to stay! Hua Manxi asked Da Yang to go back first, and he found the mother-in-law who arranged for them to come in just now, and looked at the clothes, it should be the kitchen maid in the house.
"Boom, I'm Hua Lanxiang's daughter, she's so sick that she's fainted, I want to stay and take care of her for a few days and work for her, is that okay?" Hua Manxi said, and stuffed ten taels of silver into her cuffs.
There were ten taels of silver! You must know that this grandson is famous for his harshness and slamming of the door, there is not much money per month, and there are many rules! All kinds of regulations on salary deductions emerge in endlessly, and the people at the bottom can't get a penny of oil and water!
This Hua Lanxiang is a cook, her moon silver, that is, two taels of silver, layers of filial piety and stewardship, the master came down, less than one or two silver, and the descendants of the death deed are all issued half, half of them are left, and they will be given when they expire.
Therefore, spending ten taels of silver on the Xichong can be said to be very generous!
Although Hua Lanxiang is a cook, she is very good at making snacks, and the lady in the house attaches great importance to her, so she is not too embarrassed, since she has received benefits, she naturally agrees.
"For the sake of your filial piety, you can go to the concierge to register and stay to take care of her for a few days, but your mother's job is to help cook and make snacks, will you?" Na Yu glanced at Hua Manxi again and asked.
"Don't worry, my mother will, I will, my mother won't, I will. I'm sure she'll do her job well and won't trouble you. Hua Manxi said sweetly.
This little girl is very well-behaved, and she can talk more than her mother!
"By the way, my mother is sick and needs to decoction, may I ask, where can I decoct the medicine? I'm not familiar with it, and I'm afraid I'll bump into the nobles. Hua Manxi asked again.
"No, that's the servant's kitchen, this is the master's big kitchen, don't make a mistake, you can go to the servant's kitchen to decoct the medicine, go to work to go to the master's kitchen, I'm in charge of the kitchen, I'll give you guidance when you come tomorrow." Na Bang said.
"Thank you." After Hua Manxi politely thanked him, he took the medicine bag and went to the maid's small kitchen to decoct the medicine.
"Yo, I heard that you are Hua Lanxiang's daughter, decoction, isn't your mother unmarried? Where did the daughter come from? As soon as Hua Manxi entered the house to decoct the medicine, she was whispered and ridiculed by the servants around her, and some even came to her to squeeze it.
This atmosphere is not good again, there are no rules at all! As someone else's subordinate, don't you know how to do more and talk less!
Hua Manxi looked at the sallow aunt in front of her, unhurriedly covered the medicine pot, and said indifferently: "My mother said, I was given to her by Guanyin's mother, and the gods gave it away, do you want to get married?" There are no such blessings for mortals. ”
She is still a girl who has not married, even if she understands the affairs of men and women, she has to pretend not to understand, if she is ashamed and red-faced, wouldn't they be even more energetic?
"Aunt Niu, have you heard, they were sent by Guanyin, and they meddle all day long." A girl wearing the same maid uniform as her mother stepped forward and gave Aunt Niu a white look, and said to Hua Manxi, "Sister, don't pay attention to her, I am the assistant cook brought by your mother, my name is Xiao Yezi, what about you?" ”
"My name is Hua Manxi." Hua Manxi nodded and replied, "Thank you." ”
"No thanks, she's like this, her tongue is very long, like a cow, and she deserves to be surnamed Niu." Xiao Yezi complained, "How is Aunt Lan Xiang'er's illness?" ”
"It's a bit serious, I fainted, I said I was overworked, and I know what you do in the house." Hua Manxi sighed and said in a low voice.
"She, the things in the house are not tiring, that is, she still takes embroidery work to do, and she stays up at night, but it's late." Xiao Yezi sighed, "She said all day long that she was useless and wanted to save you a little more dowry." ”
Xiao Yezi's words made Hua Manxi feel sour in her heart, she was a single-parent family in her previous life, and she envied others for having a good mother since she was a child.
"Xiao Yezi, tomorrow I will work on behalf of my mother, what should I pay attention to in this Sun Mansion, you tell me." Hua Manxi asked.
"Aunt Hua and I are both chopping vegetables, as long as the dishes are cut according to the chef's requirements, and Mrs. likes to eat pastries made by Aunt Hua, sometimes Mrs. wants to eat them, and will let Aunt Hua make them." When Xiao Yezi said this, he paused, and said in a low voice, "The chef who cooks is Aunt Niu's husband, but it's fierce, you have to be cautious tomorrow, don't let him scold you." ”
Hua Manxi nodded, indicating that he knew.
The medicine was almost ready, she wet the towel she brought, carefully took the medicine pot back to the room where Hua Lanxiang lived, and poured the medicine into the bowl to cool.
Although the maid's room is not big, it has everything it should have, and although the mosquito nets are old, her mother has cleaned it up and kept it tidy.
Hua Manxi watched the medicine slowly cool, then helped Hua Lanxiang up, and said in a low voice: "Mother, drink the medicine, drink the medicine and sleep again, and you will be cured tomorrow." ”
After shaking it a few times, Hua Lanxiang woke up, Hua Manxi carefully fed the medicinal soup, Hua Lanxiang hadn't seen her daughter for many years, this was the first time she was so close to her daughter, and she was very happy, but when she thought of her situation, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Manxi-" Hua Lanxiang finished drinking the medicine and wanted to explain a few words to Hua Manxi, but her stomach growled.
She has been sick for several days, and she has no appetite, but her stomach will be hungry.
"Mother, didn't you eat today? Shall I make you something to eat? Hua Manxi naturally noticed it and asked.
"Forget it, it's past dinner now, you can't go to get any more food, you have to wait for breakfast tomorrow, Manxi, haven't you eaten either?" Hua Lanxiang looked at her daughter and said worriedly, "In this way, I'll go to Zhao Xixi and ask her to get you something to eat." ”
Zhao Haoxi is the woman who Hua Manxi honored just now.
"Mother, don't bother, I'll get you some food." Hua Manxi held down Hua Lanxiang and said, "You can lie down on the bed and rest, I'll be back soon." ”
She said, turned out her baggage, took out two jars of chili sauce, and brought them.
This chili sauce was originally intended to be used for my mother to taste, but now it seems that it is not good.
Hua Manxi carried two cans of chili sauce and knocked on the door of Xiao Yezi next door, and asked Xiao Yezi to take him to find that Zhao Haozi.
"Lady Lanxiang? You're so late, do you have anything to do with me? Zhao Xixi recognized Hua Manxi at a glance, although this girl was raised in the countryside, but her manners and demeanor have her own bearing, calm and calm, bold and careful, especially a face, which looks a little better than her mother, the skin is white and tender, it is simply a beauty embryo.
"That's the case, Zhao Hao, my mother didn't eat today, and now I'm hungry after taking medicine, I want to get her something to eat, but my mother said that it's past the meal, and I can't cook anymore, I have no way, so I specially asked Hello, can it be convenient?"
She said, put the two jars of chili sauce in her hand on Zhao Xi's table, and said: "By the way, this chili sauce was originally to bring filial piety to my mother, but my mother was unfortunately sick and couldn't eat spicy. ”
Chili sauce? As soon as he talked about this chili sauce, Zhao Xixi was interested, is this the very popular chili sauce in Jinyutang recently? I heard that it is a very good condiment, used to mix noodles, bibimbap, steamed buns, steamed buns are very delicious, and stir-fry can also be used! It can also be used as a dipping sauce! In order to taste this chili sauce, many people go to Jinyutang to eat!
Madame took some of her aunts once, and she followed, but where could they eat as subordinates? I can only watch.
The old man also went to Jinyutang on a special trip, but it was to eat their town store dish Buddha jumped over the wall, but he sent a can of beef-flavored chili sauce, which was never handed over to the kitchen, and every meal, he would get some out and taste it himself.
"This is the giveaway chili sauce of the Golden Jade Hall? How did you get it? Zhao Xixi was a little excited, but lowered his voice.
"It's the chili sauce from Jin Yutang, this chili sauce is not made by Jin Yutang, this is the chili sauce from Peach Blossom Village, I am from Peach Blossom Village, I know the master's family, and I went to them to buy two jars." People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and Hua Manxi doesn't want to show that this chili sauce is his own, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"In this way, I heard that this thing is dozens of dollars a can, and it has been ordered by the big restaurant, and it can't be bought!" Zhao Xixi stepped forward to see that the package was really exactly the same as Jinyutang, and he was even more happy.
"It's rare that you have a heart, it's rare, so let's go to the kitchen to teach you, because you work on behalf of your mother, and you're not familiar with the process, I'll teach you first." Zhao Xixi hid the two jars of chili sauce and locked them, and then pretended to say.
