Chapter 36: Trouble in the kitchen
When Dow arrives in the kitchen with Rouge and Emerald, the kitchen is busy.
The banquet in the back garden has been opened, and the main dishes have been prepared, but the soup to be served at the end and the refreshments after the main banquet are also being prepared.
Although the Pingyuan Hou Mansion looks down on the new grandmother who has just entered the door, the wedding banquet of the prince is the face of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and if something goes wrong, it will not be affordable.
"This is the kitchen." Dow stopped at the door.
The Tao family was also rich back then, and she was also a daughter who had seen the world.
But I have to say that the wealth of the Plains Marquis Mansion is still beyond her imagination.
For example, this kitchen, a separate courtyard, three main rooms, two side rooms, and more than a dozen people who are busy inside and outside.
"Yes." Li Yingluo replied respectfully, "This is Tingfengxuan's small kitchen, which is in charge of Tingfengxuan's food." ”
Tao is the master, and if he has to go to the kitchen to find trouble, the girls can't control it, so they have to at least follow him.
It's also a rare joke, don't look at it in vain.
The girls all came, but Shen Xiu stayed in the house.
While the two were talking, the kitchen steward's mother-in-law greeted her, and when she saw Li Yingluo and the girls, she guessed the identity of Tao, with a smile on her face, but she was surprised in her heart: "Why did grandma come here, the kitchen is dirty, if there is anything, you just pass it on to us." ”
The new daughter-in-law was not staying in the main room, and suddenly ran into the kitchen, what was to be done.
"How dare I pass on you?" Tao said angrily, although the wealth of the Plains Marquis Mansion made her a little weak, but once she had come here, she couldn't turn around and leave, "Even my girl, you all beat and scolded casually, and didn't give you food." If I dare to summon you again, I am afraid that I will have no food. ”
The kitchen steward was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Yingluo, and said with a smile: "How dare we, there are guests in the house today, and there are people who don't greet the girls well." If you don't give food, you won't dare to beat it to death. ”
Li Yingluo's orders, of course she knows.
The whole house didn't take Tao seriously, but the dowry girl was so arrogant, and it was right to teach a lesson.
I thought that if the girl was hungry, it would be over if she was soft.
Where did you think that Dow personally killed in the kitchen to find trouble, and chose this time.
"It's that mother-in-law, and she slapped me." Rouge's eyes were sharp, and she saw the mother-in-law who slapped her.
The natural person ran away, she stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was still holding a water ladle in her hand, her face was full of surprise, and she said, "Girl, what's the matter, I still have to work." ”
"It's her, she slapped us and didn't give us food." Jade shouted as well.
The water scoop in the mother-in-law's hand fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "Girl, wronged, I am a mother-in-law with a living face, and I don't care about the food." ”
With such a shout, the busy mothers-in-law in the house heard the movement, put down their work, and probed out to see.
"I just care about the noodles and make dim sum, whether it is the master's meal or the subordinate's food, it has nothing to do with me." The mother-in-law shouted.
"Dare to quibble." Rouge shouted angrily, pulling her mother-in-law to Tao's face, "Grandma, it's her, you dare not admit it." ”
The kitchen steward said with a smile: "The girl is only afraid that she will really accept her fate, she is a mother-in-law with a living face, and it is none of her business to send food." You see she still has noodles on her hands, how can she share the food with the girls. ”
The master's meal is naturally taken care of by a special person. It's quite casual to eat, especially if there are many things today, and whoever sends the meal can do it.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be said, otherwise it won't end well now.
"Sophistry, it's all sophistry." Rouge said angrily and said to Tao: "Grandma, they clearly didn't take you seriously, and they dared to talk such nonsense in front of you." Such a vicious woman should be beaten to death. ”
As soon as these words came out, the kitchen steward looked around and immediately knelt down.
As soon as she knelt like this, the mother-in-law who had been watching with her probe also came out and knelt down with the steward.
Wu pressed and knelt down, Mrs. Qian was already anxious, and said to Tao: "Grandma, it's a little bit of a trivial matter, this, alas, ......"
Tao also felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger, but he was halfway off the horse, and if he turned around and left like this, he was afraid that he would be laughed to death.
It was also because she was too reckless, so she came over in a very angry mood, but she didn't expect that things would end badly.
Li Yingluo has no plans to round the field, her family affairs are all booked, and she can leave at any time.
If Dow has to do it himself, then he will take it well.
"The soup is about to be served, why hasn't it been served yet?" Suddenly, it was the anxious voice of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law.
Although there is no clear limit on the time when each dish can be served, it is always not possible to serve the soup after the meal is dispersed.
When it was time to serve the soup, the soup was not served, and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law naturally wanted to urge, who would have thought that it was like this in the kitchen.
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law looked at the group of people who were pressed by the black pressure, and then looked at the angry Tao, the situation was unknown, where did she dare to speak, she wanted to turn around and leave.
Although she doesn't look down on Tao very much, she is always the master, Mrs. Shizi. It's not good to have a head-on conflict, and it's always bad to offend people.
"Stop." Tao said, when the situation in front of him is difficult to solve, there is just someone, then go down the slope of the donkey, put Wei Li, and leave quickly.
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law had to stop and said with a smile: "What does the grandmother command?" ”
Tao pointed to the mother-in-law who was holding on to the finger and said: "This mother-in-law is arrogant and domineering, and beat her for twenty boards as a punishment." ”
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law immediately laughed when she heard this, and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go and call the law enforcement daughter-in-law over." ”
As she spoke, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law ran away.
Of course, she didn't go to the law enforcement daughter-in-law to beat people, and now she is waiting for soup at the banquet, and now she beats people, who will do the work.
Instead, he went to the backyard to find Zhou Xi's family and talked about it.
Zhou Xi's family is Mrs. Cheng's confidant, and she is the chief steward in this house, if something like this happens, she can't take care of it, so naturally she can only let Zhou Xi's family deal with it.
"What, grandma went to the kitchen??" Zhou Xijia said incredulously.
When the new daughter-in-law enters the door, it's a big deal to pinch the girl, or toss Shen Xiu.
What to do in the kitchen, the dignified Mrs. Shizi, and the kitchen mother-in-law are also losing their identity.
"I don't know what's going on, but when I entered the door, I saw that everyone in the kitchen was kneeling on the ground. The eldest grandmother also said that she was going to beat someone, and I didn't know what to do, so I came to find my sister-in-law. The housekeeper's daughter-in-law said.
Zhou Xijia couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'll take a look." ”
After explaining the matter at hand, Zhou Xijia quickly went to Tingfengxuan's kitchen.
The scene was still silent, Dow was standing, and the kitchen ladies were all kneeling.
There are only two rouge and jadeite, proud and arrogant.
"What's the matter, why hasn't the soup at the banquet been served yet?" Zhou Xijia said.
When the kitchen manager saw Zhou Xi's family, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "The two girls of the eldest grandmother said that we were negligent and wanted to punish us." ”
"Bold, it's obvious that you beat people, and you don't give them food." Rouge said loudly.
Zhou Xijia looked at the rouge, and said to the kitchen steward: "Get up, the banquet outside is waiting for the dishes, and then we will finish the dishes first." ”
"Yes." The kitchen steward said, standing up.
She stood up, and the mother-in-law around her also stood up.
The kitchen steward beckoned everyone into the house and continued to work.
"You, you ......" Rouge and Jade were dumbfounded, speechless in shock.
Standing next to Tao, he was even more shocked and angry, and wanted to shout a few words angrily, but people didn't listen at all.
"I've seen grandma, I'm my wife's companion Zhou Xi's family." Zhou Xijia stepped forward to salute, his voice was flat, but he was helpless.
Tao stared at her directly, her mother-in-law's companion, although she didn't dare to scold her directly, but she couldn't get off the stage like this, how could her face look good.
"Today's banquet outside, I still have to do this group of mothers-in-law to work." Zhou Xijia said, "When today's affairs are over, grandma wants to beat or scold, it's all okay." ”
"Hmph~~" Dow snorted coldly.
Mrs. Qian hurriedly said: "It turned out to be the sister-in-law of the Zhou family, grandma listened to the nonsense of the two hairy girls, and I was about to persuade her." ”
Of course she knows that this is Mrs. Cheng's number one confidant, and if she offends her, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to see Mrs. Cheng tomorrow.
"They offended grandma, did they just let it go." Emerald said loudly.
Zhou Xijia looked at the jade and said to Mrs. Qian: "This kind of girl who is shouting in front of her master, please ask my mother to discipline her more carefully." It's just your own home, if you lose your face elsewhere, you will lose your grandmother's face. ”
"What do you mean by that!!" Dow was furious.
This is simply when she says that she will not discipline the girl, and she is embarrassed here.
Zhou Xijia didn't say anything, but said: "The back garden is still feasting, I have to go over to help, and come back another day to say hello to grandma." ”
After speaking, Zhou Xi's family bowed and retreated.
When he was about to go out, Zhou Xijia couldn't help but glance at Li Yingluo, who was watching the play, with a very disapproving expression.
The new grandmother made such a fuss on the first day she entered the door, and in any case, it was caused by the carelessness of the servants.
With the talents of Li Yingluo and Shen Xiu, things would not have developed to this point. Now that Shen Xiu didn't show up, it should be that Tao Shi took care of her, so she simply didn't look at it.
Li Yingluo had a helpless expression, as if to say, grandma's IQ is like this, what can she do.
As for doing everything possible to coax the master, then forget it, Tao didn't have any favors for her, she was originally the one who was leaving, and she didn't plan to serve.
Zhou Xijia sighed in his heart, so he had to turn around and leave.
"One or two, I didn't take my grandmother to heart." Rouge roared angrily.
Dow's whole body trembled, but he was helpless.
She is the eldest grandmother and has an identity, but the subordinates disobey her one or two and ignore her, what can she do.
I can't really get started and beat that woman up in person.
However, she must avenge this revenge. If she swallows this breath, where will she still have a foothold in this Plains Hou Mansion.
"My grandmother, let's go back." Mrs. Qian almost cried.
