Chapter 139: Breakfast
The big kitchen is in a big yard in the outer yard. When Lin Xiaozhu followed Mama Wu in, he saw two young men chasing each other in the yard, and a few other people were holding bowls, watching and having fun. Mama Wu showed a sincere smile on her face and shouted, "Zhou Qing, Zhou Yun, you two are noisy again." ”
The two young men chased in front of Mama Wu, stopped, and called out breathlessly: "Mama Wu." Then when he saw Lin Xiaozhu behind him, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile to Mama Wu: "Mama Wu, when did you bring such a beautiful little girl?" ”
The smile on Mama Wu's face was retracted, and she reached out and knocked on the head of the young man who spoke, and said, "It's all nonsense." He raised his voice again and introduced: "This is Childe's special cook, named Lin Xiaozhu." ”
"Hello everyone." Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile.
"Wow, this girl is smart, and she is no worse than the girl who listens to the rain." A tall aunt standing at the door of the kitchen saw Lin Xiaozhu and was full of admiration.
"Aunt Zhou, hurry up and marry you back to be your daughter-in-law." A man shouted.
Everyone laughed out loud.
"Yuan Ergou, you are going to die. The big girl is thin-skinned, can she stand your joke? If you have the ability, you go and listen to the jokes of the rain girl. Aunt Zhou scolded with a smile, walked over and took Lin Xiaozhu's hand, and said, "Miss Xiaozhu, don't pay attention to these goods." They're all rough people, and they're usually used to joking, so don't take it seriously. ”
"Aunt Zhou, I'm fine." Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile. These people, though rude, made her feel concerned. In Xiajia Village, aren't those uncles and aunts like this? She prefers to stay here than the oppressive little kitchen in the inner courtyard.
"Listen up, everybody." Mama Wu heard Yuan Ergou's jokes. raised his voice, "Miss Xiaozhu's cooking skills are superb, and Childe values her very much." She came to eat in this outer courtyard, and she was not allowed to make jokes about her. ”
"Yes, don't dare anymore." Yuan Ergou hurriedly said.
After such a hiatus, Lin Xiaozhu recognized the people in the yard almost the same, and they were paired with Mama Wu's introduction last night. She followed Mama Wu to receive the meal, then took the bowl and walked back. That Aunt Zhou didn't know if she was guilty, or if she really wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, and when she was cooking, the meat and vegetables were half a spoonful more than Mama Wu's. made Lin Xiaozhu glance at Mama Wu in her spare eyes. It's not thanks, it's not thanks, it's embarrassing.
Holding a bowl to say goodbye to Mama Wu at the mouth of the alley, Lin Xiaozhu slowly returned to his small courtyard, sat at the round table and ate the meal. After fetching water from the well and washing his clothes, he looked at the verdant grass and trees in the courtyard and his simplely furnished room. I finally stayed up until dark, and then I went to bed and meditated and practiced for an hour. Lay down and slept.
The next morning, Lin Xiaozhu woke up as usual at the dawn of the day. When I arrived in the yard, I finished fetching water and washing, and practiced boxing twice. I went to the kitchenette. Today was the first time she was on duty to make breakfast for Yuan Tianye, and she went there early to prepare. It's always good.
When she arrived at the door of the small kitchen, she was stunned for a moment: the kitchen was not locked.
It's her small cross-courtyard where she doesn't even have anything, and Mama Wu told her to lock the door when she enters and exits last night. But this place for eating, the small kitchen where bird's nest was soaked last night, and the door was not locked?
It's weird!
Lin Xiaozhu was vigilant in his heart, and he didn't take the liberty to push the door. My heart was racing and I was wondering what the consequences would be. What if the old king wanted to hurt her, moved everything away, and then relied on her to steal it? This small kitchen was the first to arrive. If you lose something, you will naturally be the most suspicious.
But what if you turn around and leave now? I have arrived here, although no one has seen it. But she didn't believe that since people had set up such a game, she wouldn't meet anyone halfway when she turned around and went back! If you turn around, you will only meet. She couldn't tell her clearly.
Besides, it's her turn to make breakfast today, if it's a little bit and Yuan Tianye doesn't see breakfast, then the punishment is inevitable.
The kitchen had lost something, and she could argue with it. After all, what kind of person she is, Yuan Tianye, the biggest boss of this house, is clear. She is unfamiliar with life, she has stolen something, where can she hide? Yuan Tianye, who has set up secret sentinels everywhere in the villa, she doesn't believe that all the movements in this house can escape his eyes! However, if the breakfast was not made on time, then the guilt was real, and it was all her fault.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, stretched out her hand, and pushed the door directly in.
The kitchen door opened, and there was no one inside. The tables, chairs and benches are still as clean and tidy as last night.
It's just that it's too clean, isn't it? The bird's nest on the desk is gone at this time; The various ingredients I saw last night in the kitchen cabinet are also gone at this time.
Lin Xiaozhu opened the cabinets and jars and looked at them, except for a jar of pickles and a little rice pickled in the corner, there was nothing.
Could it be that when it was her turn to make breakfast, she had to get the ingredients from Steward Zhang? But she didn't know if she was a newcomer, Steward Zhang should have told her last night? Mama Wu took her to the small kitchen, and she squeaked at the time, right? It's such an early morning now, she doesn't know where Steward Zhang lives, so she can't go around looking for Steward Zhang to get the ingredients, right? When will you get the ingredients back?
She raised her eyebrows, scooped out the rice, cleaned it and put it on the stove, preparing to do this A bowl of white rice porridge and a kimchi for Yuan Tianye to eat.
She is not a bitter cauliflower, why was she bullied and knocked out her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach? This Yuan Tianye's back house is so chaotic that he dares to guard and steal and do something to frame him. If she didn't let Yuan Tianye know, he thought that this place was stable, united, and extremely harmonious. Aren't these people jealous because Yuan Tianye reuses her? Then she will let them see if her backer is Yuan Tianye!
But as soon as she sat down and was about to make a fire, she realized that the firewood was also wet.
Nima, these people, too, are too much!
She stood up and walked out. She remembered that when Mama Wu took her to the outer courtyard yesterday, Lao Gao built a pile of firewood under the eaves at the door of the big kitchen, brought some back, and cooked the porridge.
When I walked near the big kitchen, I heard a greeting not far away: "Little bamboo girl, it's early." ”
Lin Xiaozhu looked up and saw that it was one of the young men who were playing in the big kitchen yesterday. It seems that it should be Zhou Yun, the second son of the Zhou family.
"Early." Lin Xiaozhu smiled. Remembering that this firewood should be in a big kitchen, he had to say hello to the Zhou family and his wife, so he said, "You are Zhou Yun, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, I am Zhou Yun." Zhou Yun didn't expect this new girl to know his name, so she was so excited that her face turned red, and she trotted all the way over, and said very enthusiastically: "Little bamboo girl, what do you want to help?" ”
"That's right, I was going to make breakfast for my son this morning, and I found that there was nothing in the kitchen except some rice and a jar of kimchi, and even the firewood was wet. Zhou Yun, do you know what to do? ”
"Ah, how can this be?" Zhou Yun was very surprised, and then looked at Lin Xiaozhu with deep meaning, "The ingredients in the small kitchen have always been very abundant, and the slightest shortage will be made up immediately." Yesterday, when my son came back, I went out to buy a lot of things, and handed them over to Steward Zhang. You have to ask Lao Wang about this question, the ingredients in the small kitchen have always been kept by him. ”
Lin Xiaozhu nodded, and then looked at Zhou Yun with some surprise: "The ingredients in this house are all purchased by you?" ”
Zhou Yun was a little proud, and scratched his head a little shyly: "The things in this mansion are all purchased by me now." If you want something to buy, just look for me. ”
"That's great." Lin Xiaozhu said happily, "I really have something for you to buy." When I think of what I want to buy, I'll come to you. He pointed to the firewood and said, "I'll take some firewood to cook, it should be fine, right?" ”
"No problem, no problem, you just hold it. Otherwise, I'll help you. Zhou Yun said, and stepped forward with his sleeves rolled.
"No need. I don't take too much, just enough to cook a pot of porridge, don't bother you. "Yesterday, Yuan Ergou made fun of her, Lin Xiaozhu didn't want to be too close to this Zhou Yun, and caused a lot of gossip.
After taking the firewood back to the kitchen, the fire was raised, and the porridge was slowly boiled, Lin Xiaozhu took some sour radish and capers from the kimchi jar, cut them carefully, and mixed them with sesame oil, which was a dish for rice. When the porridge was ready, she put it in a clean small jar, filled the tray with kimchi and chopsticks, picked it up and went to the main courtyard.
Although she did not serve Yuan Tianye when she was in the villa, she also knew a lot of Yuan Tianye's habits from Yu Jiaoxi's mouth. Last night, unless he never came home, life was very regular. I get up at dawn, and then I want to practice if I can't move. After practicing and taking a bath, you have to eat breakfast.
So in any case, her breakfast is going to be delivered at this time. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty.
As soon as she went out, she saw Ma Pozi and Li Pozi walking towards her at the other end of the alley. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu, Ma Pozi's face showed surprise and exclaimed, "Isn't this Xiaozhu girl?" Why are you going early in the morning? ”
"You're serving breakfast here, aren't you? Don't you know, Childe didn't come back last night, don't you have to make breakfast today? Mrs. Li said in a long voice.
Lin Xiaozhu didn't stop at all, and said with a smile: "It's okay. I didn't get a notice that I didn't need to do this breakfast, so I naturally had to do it well, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty. The two aunts walked slowly, and I brought breakfast first. ”
The faces of the two mothers-in-law froze. Or Mrs. Li reacted quickly, stretched out her hand to serve the tray in Lin Xiaozhu's hand, and said with a smile: "This matter of delivering breakfast, where do you need to bother the girl to go in person?" Come, give it to me, I'll send it. But it's not for me to say, Miss Xiaozhu, I'm afraid this breakfast will be given away in vain. Childe, he's not at home. ”
Where is Lin Xiaozhu willing to let her take over? Twisted his waist to avoid her hand, and said lightly on his face: "Don't work Aunt Li." I'm young, and it's nothing to walk around, and there's nothing to lose even if it's given away for nothing. Without further ado, he walked through the two of them.
