For Wu's mother, the kitchen is a first-class event. Dozens of people up and down in a courtyard have at least three meals a day from morning to night, which seems to be ordinary, but in fact it contains a lot of knowledge and exquisiteness.

Mother Wu was born as a cook when she was young, so she has the most experience and experience in the kitchen. Now, Shen Yuechen is in power at the beginning, people have to be in charge, and rules have to be established, but at the same time, they also have to worry about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these dozens of people, which is definitely not easy to do.

Mother Wu felt that she really had no other ability and ability, she could help Shen Yuechen share her worries, and the only way to do it was to put more effort into the kitchen.

Shen Yuechen sat on the edge of the bed, personally brought a cup of tea and handed it to Wu's mother: "Mom, drink tea." ”

This time, there are only two of them in the house, Shen Yuechen doesn't want her to be restrained by herself, she just wants to talk with her for a while.

Mother Wu smiled slightly, took it in her hand and said thank you.

Shen Yuechen leaned back against the head of the bed, turned her head slightly to talk to Mother Wu: "Mom, a lot of things have happened recently, some good and some bad. Right now, although the turmoil has passed, I still feel heavy and uncomfortable in my heart. ”

That kind of complex and tangled mood is difficult to describe in words for a while, like a ball of silk threads wrapped around the heart, and under those intricate threads, there is a heavy stone.

Mother Wu put down the teacup, stared at her eyes, and said with a gentle expression: "Now, Miss is married, a wife, and a daughter-in-law, and there are many things to worry about and things to manage, so I will naturally feel tired. ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "My uncompetitive body is all taken care of by my mother, otherwise, how can I have the mental and physical strength to deal with these troublesome things." Mother Wu, did you say that I was too heavy? Too impetuous? ”

Mother Wu shook her head gently at Shen Yuechen, and whispered: "Miss, you have been assertive since you were a child, and you always do whatever you want, always safely and impartially. Now, the young lady is the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhu family, and naturally she can't behave in the same way as when she was in the girl's family. A slave is a slave, and when they are punished, they are punished, so why should you bother with them? ”

Wu Ma's calm tone is very gentle, with a kind of power that can calm people's hearts.

Shen Yuechen smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Mom always coaxes me like this, never says anything wrong about me, and you are not afraid of spoiling me." ”

Mother Wu shook her head slightly: "Miss's status is noble, where is my slave can be petted, it is my blessing to be able to serve Miss in this life, and it is the blessing that Miss gave me." ”

Shen Yuechen's eyes flickered slightly when she looked at Mother Wu: "I don't like to hear my mother say such alienating words to me. I was raised by my mother since I was a child, and I was frail and sickly, and I relied on my mother to raise me alone. It's not so much that I'm a blessing to my mother, but that you, Mom, are my blessing. You know, I never treat you like a subordinate. Mom, you are my dear and dearest person in the world. ”

When Wu's mother heard this, she was so heartbroken that her eyes were red, and as soon as she lowered her head, tears fell from her eyes.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her eyes, half angry, half joking: "Mom, what are you doing?" Could it be that I dislike my gluttonous cat, and I want to pester you for a lifetime to be delicious, and I am afraid? ”

Mother Wu was coaxed by her to laugh, took her handkerchief, wiped her eyes and said, "Seeing that Miss can still talk and laugh, my heart will be steady." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled, thinking that after the gossip, it was time to get down to business, so she grabbed her arm and asked, "Mom, you just want to talk to me about the kitchen, tell me, what is the matter?" ”

Mother Wu wiped away her tears and softened her emotions: "Actually, it's still a matter of the aunts in each room. There are five aunts in the courtyard, but each aunt has its own status, and the most expensive of them is naturally Aunt Qin. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she suddenly had a plan in her heart, and it was her again, so she asked again, "What?" So what is the Qin clan doing to make things difficult for you? ”

Mother Wu shook her head and said, "My aunt calls the slave maid, but there is nothing to be embarrassed about." It's just that there are a number of things, and Aunt Qin always has to make a temporary decision every meal, and someone will add one or two more dishes, while other aunts will inevitably have a shortage...... After a long time, there will always be some harmony in the world, and there will always be a lot of right and wrong in the stumbling world. Moreover, every time Aunt Qin asks for something, it is either fine or expensive, if there is no ready-made kitchen ready, she has to send a maid to buy it with cash, not to mention running back and forth, and leaving a lot of deficits in the kitchen's account. ”

Shen Yuechen knew that the Qin family was pampered, and she also knew that she usually liked to be strong and put on a score. It's just that even if you can eat it again, it's just a mouth and a body, and it's not a waste of things.

"I know her character. Before, I only cut a few dishes, and she deliberately brought a cat to taunt me. What if I really cut her share, and if I don't make sure she's going to hit me with silver? Shen Yuechen said lightly.

When Mother Wu heard this, she hurriedly said: "Although Aunt Qin is arrogant, she is only an aunt in the end, and she should always have self-knowledge." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled lightly: "If she can have self-knowledge and be willing to keep to herself, then she is not Qin Taoxi." ”

Shen Yuechen thought for a while, and said: "The rules in the courtyard must change, and the rules of the kitchen must also change. However, Aunt Cao, because of Sister Zhu Ying's presence, in the morning and evening, you have to prepare goat's milk, and you can add an extra meat dish and cake to each meal, as for the rest, the rest should be the same. ”

When Mother Wu heard this, she naturally nodded and felt good, and said with a slight hesitation: "This is really fair, but ...... Aunt Qin's side, I'm afraid I can't easily agree. ”

"What's the matter with whether she agrees or not?" Shen Yuechen smiled lightly: "Since I want to be in charge, I'm not afraid that she will come to trouble me." If she wants to make trouble, then I will accompany her, and see how she, a young lady from a family, can put down her heavy face, and have grievances and tempers with me for that little food. ”

She is not afraid of being embarrassed, why should she care, anyway, the name of being stingy and stingy has already been hung on her body, and it is not good to bear the name in vain. Moreover, in the future, if this yard is really decided by itself, it will be a matter of time before it is strictly governed and the cost is reduced.
