Chapter Twenty-Nine: Jade Welcomes the Sun
Mother Xu didn't want to say it, but Xiao Er's fingers pinched into Mother Xu's flesh, and Mother Xu sighed and said, "Ah, this is June persimmon." ”
Master Fang licked a mouthful of tomato sauce and praised: "It's sweet and sour, it's delicious." ”
At this time, Fang Hao also took a bite and nodded: "I have all kinds of flavors in one bite, it is really a hundred flavors of life." Xiao'er, how do you make this verdant cake? ”
Xiao Er dragged Xu Ma again, and Xu Ma was just about to speak, Fang Hao asked, "Isn't this what Xiao Er did?" You should know what this thing is called, right? ”
Xiao Er glared at Xu's mother, and Xu's mother had to recall: "Scream, vomit to death." ”
"What? Spit to death? How can you say such disgusting things about this good breakfast? Mrs. Fang felt sick to her stomach after hearing this.
The corners of Fang Xu's mouth hooked slightly: "Xiao'er, don't you want your lady to eat?" ”
Xiao Er knelt on the ground in fright: "Xiao Er doesn't dare, it's just that this thing has such an ugly name." ”
"Dare to lie, you didn't do this." Fang Xu slapped the table, Xiao Er was startled, and Fang Xu said, "Mother Xu, are you doing this?" ”
Seeing that Fang Xu was angry, Mother Xu also knelt down and said, "Young master, forgive me, these are all done by Miss Qiu'er." Because of the strange name, I really can't remember what Miss Qiu'er said. ”
Xiao Er turned her head and glared at Xu's mother, Xu's mother had to tell the truth, although she angered the young master, but she could tell the truth, Xu's mother was not so upset, but felt that Fang Xu was helping herself to break the siege.
Old Man Fang leaned on his crutches and sighed: "I also knew for a long time that these strange things were definitely not from Xiao Er's hands, I just wanted to test how bold you are to be able to say that other people's things are your own." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Er cried and kowtowed: "Master, Xiao Er knows that she is wrong, Xiao Er was greedy for a while, and she wanted the reward of the old lady, so she robbed Qiu'er of the credit." ”
Master Fang shook his head: "Although I don't care about the affairs of your subordinates, do you really not know about me?" You asked Qiu'er to fetch water, and your foot was sprained, or yesterday, right? Today, she is working in the kitchen again, I thought that you would work together to serve the Fang family, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy and insidious at a young age, what is the use of our family keeping you? ”
"Master spare Xiao Er, Xiao Er doesn't dare anymore, Xiao Er is afraid that Qiu'er will rob Xiao Er and Lao Zhou's position, and is afraid that she will lose her job in the future, so she did these stupid things. I also hope that the master will see that Xiao Er has been picked up by you since she was a child and has done your best for the Fang family, spare Xiao Er this time, Xiao Er will never dare again. Xiao Er has already cried into tears.
Mrs. Fang also said: "Xiao Er has no father and no mother, the tiger from the outer mountains is here, the tigers in this mountain are naturally a little precautionary, Xiao Er is afraid that Qiu'er is too shrewd, but I look at this girl and is ghostly, and I am afraid that it is ......."
"Don't say it, have you forgotten who entrusted Qiu'er? In fact, if it weren't for Qiu'er, I would have just put people in our house, how would I explain to the marshal if something happened? ”
"That's your future daughter-in-law."
"But she's the marshal's daughter." Master Fang said: "Xiao'er, I have been thinking about you in the Fang family for so many years, and I will keep your errand first, but your monthly money will be halved, when will it be realized, and when will it make up the other half." ”
"Thank you, sir, ma'am." Xiao Er saw that the errand was saved, and she didn't have to sleep on the streets, so she was relieved.
"Mother Xu, call Qiu'er." Master Fang commanded.
When Lan Xiaoqiu came to the hall, Master Fang asked, "Did you do all this?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu shook his head and said, "And Mama Xu, we did it together." ”
Mother Xu shook her hand and was busy: "It's all ordered by Miss Qiu'er, I'm just a hand." ”
"You don't ask for credit, I've heard that you're good at cooking." Master Fang seemed to appreciate it.
"Qiu'er just likes to study and eat on weekdays. I don't know if Master Fang is still used to eating? Lan Xiaoqiu asked.
Master Fang pointed to the sandwich and said, "Is this called vomiting to death?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu laughed out loud when she heard that she looked at Mother Xu beside her: "Master, naturally I don't call it this name." ”
"What's that called?" Master Fang was very curious.
Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and said, "This is called Yucui Yingxia. ”
"Jade Yingxia?" Several people said in unison.
This is naturally the name that Lan Xiaoqiu came up with, if Lan Xiaoqiu said that this thing was a 'sandwich', I don't know what these ancients would think, and in the end it might be called 'Little San', or 'Sanmingzhi', and it would be bad to swear to the sky if it involves something else.
Lan Xiaoqiu came up with a name for himself and said: "This is like two pieces of white jade on the outside, sandwiched between zucchini cakes like jade, and a sauce on top that is like a glow is combined into this layer of deliciousness, which is the origin of the name, and the meaning is also very good." ”
Master Fang took another bite approvingly: "This name is excellent, it really looks like white jade and jade, Qiu'er really has a heart." ”
Master Fang pointed to the peanut paste again and asked, "You say, what is this called?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and said: "Although it is an ordinary peanut paste, it is added with black and white sesame seeds, just like day and night, this day and night together is a person's day, and with the aroma of peanuts, it is called day and day incense." ”
"The day is fragrant, the more fragrant it is, Qiu'er is really ingenious." Master Fang drank a bowl of peanut paste and said, "In the future, what if our government wants you to be the chef of my family?" ”
After hearing this, Lan Xiaoqiu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Master Fang is really promoting Qiu'er, Qiu'er is not good at cooking. And there is still Lao Zhou's pickled sauce meat in this Yucui Yingxia, using other people's things, how dare you take away other people's errands. Qiu'er just has some research on pastries and strange things, I think it's because Master Fang is a little curious about these new things that he thinks Qiu'er is unique, but if he eats these things every day, he will get tired of eating them. So the master still shouldn't ignore Qiu'er for injustice. ”
Mrs. Fang nodded and said: "It's all a gimmick with bells and whistles, and it doesn't last long, after all, Lao Zhou has been in the Fang family for so many years, and he knows our tastes very well, and the guests at the banquet on weekdays have not lost our face, so it is not suitable for Lan Xiaoqiu to take Lao Zhou's place." Since she said that she only focuses on pastries, it is better to let her make pastries on weekdays, and then show her skills at the banquet, these things are delicious to eat once or twice, if you eat them every day, it is naturally not as comfortable as the habits we eat on weekdays. ”
Master Fang also nodded: "Yes, I guess it takes a lot of effort to make these things." Well, you don't have to help out in the kitchen on weekdays, but we just open our eyes when guests come. ”
"Thank you, Master Fang." Lan Xiaoqiu thought that he would be suppressed by Xiao Er forever, but he didn't expect that this Fang master was still wise, although he was physically incapable, he looked at the Fang family shrewdly.
This may be the most talked breakfast in the Fang family's history, but Mrs. Fang's face has been gloomy.
When Mrs. Fang saw that everyone was dispersed, she said to the other master: "Didn't you say that you should guard against her?" She came to our house to take refuge, and even let her show off her power among the subordinates. ”
Master Fang said: "Although she is an outsider, but she is a person from the Marshal's Mansion, first, we can't afford to offend, and second, she does have some ability, and her character is acceptable, and you don't always have to worry about her as a subordinate." ”
After Master Fang finished speaking, he stepped out of the door again, and Mrs. Fang exhaled fiercely and said, "I really can't underestimate you." ”
Let's say that Lan Xiaoqiu's side is stable, but Ruosu's side doesn't know that a female bandit has infiltrated the marshal's mansion.
In the scorching summer, the sun is shining.
"Zhen'er, go to the kitchen and get me some pastries." Hongyu was bored lying on the bed, and the sultry weather made her scold the maid who fanned the fan beside her: "Hurry up and fan, haven't you eaten in the morning?" ”
Zhen'er is the name that Li Zhen used to go to the Marshal's Mansion to be a maid, and he has been in the Marshal's Mansion for a whole day, and now he can finally go to the kitchen to find Brother Lan.
"You're going to die." At the moment when Zhen'er was about to go out of the door, Hongyu twisted the maid who fanned the fan fiercely: "The fan is so slow, come for Zhen'er, you go." ”
"Yes." The little maid handed the fan to Zhen'er aggrievedly, and Zhen'er watched the maid go out, and she was even more angry, but the opportunity that was easy to get was taken away by this girl. But who would have known that the cicadas were singing outside these days, and that the sun had risen overhead, and that few people liked to do the errand of walking through the promenade and garden to get to the kitchen.
Li Zhen came to the Marshal's Mansion at noon yesterday, and now it has been a whole day, but Li Zhen, who has never been a subordinate, found that this red rain is more difficult to serve than anyone else.
Since he just put down his burden, he has been listening to Hongyu's call, and he has been waiting for Hongyu to wash his feet last night before he was free, but he went to the kitchen but found that the kitchen was closed, and the guards of the Marshal's Mansion also warned Li Zhen: "The newcomer should not run around, be careful of the sword without eyes." ”
Although Li Zhen was very funny when he heard it, this is what he often says. But in order to see Lan Xiaoqiu, she endured it if she could, and she was treated as an assassin before she even met.
Li Zhen saw that he had lost the opportunity, so he fanned Hongyu suddenly, and Hongyu sucked the grapes and nodded: "You still fan well." ”
Li Zhen rolled her eyes for a while, there were already three maids around this Hongyu when she came to the Marshal's Mansion, and it was not enough, and the subordinates had a lot of complaints about her: "The real Miss Marshal's Mansion didn't even have a calling girl around her, and as soon as the two of them came, they recruited a few maids and family members." ”
As the hostess of the Marshal's Mansion, Cheng Rong is even more holding chicken feathers as an arrow, this Marshal's Mansion was originally maintained by the housekeeper, since Cheng Rong came, the housekeeper has also become a servant, Cheng Rong is very arrogant in front of the marshal and Ruosu, forcing the subordinates to call themselves 'Mrs. Marshal'.
But Li Zhen is not a person who can endure his temperament, he originally thought that a woman pretending to be a good family would be able to see Lan Xiaoqiu when she sneaked into the Marshal's Mansion, but how could this Marshal's Mansion be so big, just the kitchen to the bedroom will pass through the corridor and the small garden, Li Zhen sighed: "It's better to be in the cottage, everyone eats in the yard, and you can get to the kitchen in a few steps. ”
But Li Zhen didn't know that Ruosu's biological mother had a throat disease since she was a child and was extremely sensitive to oil smoke. So the marshal moved the kitchen out of the garden, and the layout remained unchanged more than ten years after the lady's death.
