Chapter 118: Chu Lan was a guest at the Wei Mansion
"I don't know about this matter, but since the Seventh Highness has said so, we have no reason to refuse." Wei Mingting said.
Who is the Seventh Prince, and which family he wants to go to for dinner, that is a great gift and great glory to that family, how can he refuse?
Wei Mingting didn't dare.
"Why don't you let the chef in the house do it, although the chef's cooking skills are mediocre, but she has been in the house for many years, and she is calm, at least she won't make mistakes." Yun suggested.
"No." Wei Mingting rejected the Yun family's proposal, "If Xiumei's cooking skills go wrong, His Royal Highness the Seventh will not be satisfied and will not be able to find fault with the Wei family, that is what he took the initiative to request; If the Wei family rashly replaces, it is deception and a big crime of the Wei family. ”
"But......" Yun Shi was still a little worried, and thought for a while, "Otherwise, let Wanwan help, Wanwan's dim sum is very good, you and I both know it, at least we can have some protection." ”
"No matter how good the dim sum is, it can't be put on the lunch table, so don't make people see the joke. Don't think about anything else, just follow the requirements of the Seventh Highness. Wei Mingting directly finalized it and did not give the Yun clan more time to think about it.
云氏接着将有贵客到访的消息通知了下去,要府中上下都做好准备,小心行事,切莫出了差错。
Looking at Meiyuan, Cuihe informed Wei Qingwan of the news that Chu Lan was coming to Wei's family for lunch.
"Really? The Seven Princes have come to our house? Wei Qingwan couldn't believe it.
It was a great honor that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince would come to their home for dinner!
"It's true, Madame ordered it, and she has already sent someone to the market to buy fresh ingredients, and let the whole house pay extra attention, there will be no mistake." Cuihe said firmly.
Mama Li came in and saw Wei Qingwan's eyes shouting with excitement and hope, and said helplessly: "Miss, although the Seventh Prince is here, you can't see him, the boys and girls in the big family will not sit together when they are old, and the sons and ladies in the mansion will eat together on weekdays because the villains have few rules, and the Seven Princes will inevitably have to pay attention to the rules when they come." ”
Mama Li's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Wei Qingwan's head, extinguishing her longing just now, and also sobering her up a lot.
"Mama......" Wei Qingwan looked at Mama Li with a panicked expression.
Mama Li sighed and said: "Miss, you can't be so reckless in the future, I didn't follow you to Fucheng this time, so I will let you make a mistake and be pinched by Wei Qingruo, you have to ask me before you do anything in the future, I will help you check, even if someone is responsible, you have to let me come, it can't be you." ”
"Mama, I know it's wrong, I'll ask you anything in the future." Wei Qingwan said.
"That's it." Mama Li said.
"That grandma, can't I do anything today?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"That's not it, although you can't see Your Highness the Seventh, Miss can prepare a few good pastries, and go back to the kitchen to send them over, which is reasonable, and has the opportunity to show your excellent cooking skills, Miss." Mama Li analyzed.
"Okay, I'll go to the big kitchen to prepare the osmanthus cake now, and at the same time tell the cook to ask her to send the pastries I made for lunch."
Wei Qingwan was about to get up, but was stopped by Cuihe: "Miss, it is not Chef Yu who is in charge of the kitchen today, but the eldest lady's personal maid Xiumei." ”
"Xiumei? Why her? Wei Qingwan looked at Cuihe puzzled.
Mama Li also just learned the news, and her expression was also puzzled: "He'er, what's going on?" ”
"The specific slave maid is not very clear, but today's lady ordered this, just now when I came from the front yard, I passed by the kitchen, and I heard Yu Chef complaining." Tsui Ho replied.
Mama Li gritted her teeth and said, "This Wei Qingruo is really clever in his means!" Don't forget to compete for a chance to perform even at times like this! ”
"Mama, what should we do then?" Wei Qingwan said worriedly.
"Don't worry, although we have lost the opportunity now, we may not have no chance; As long as the pastries you make are better, Miss will be compared to Wei Qingruo no matter how many dishes she asks her maid to make. Mama Li said.
Wei Qingwan's pastry skills have been recognized, not to mention that the ladies and ladies in this Xingshan County have praised her, even in the capital, she has also been unanimously praised by everyone.
Their old lady has been very picky about eating since she was a child, and there are few foods that can get her praise, and the osmanthus cake made by the second lady has been highly praised by her, which shows that the osmanthus cake made by the second lady is of high standard.
Wei Qingwan nodded, and then faced a new question.
She is still grounded by her mother, and she can't get out of the door of Wangmei Garden, let alone go to the kitchen.
Mama Li told Wei Qingwan not to worry: "You don't have to go to the big kitchen to make pastries, I'll go and bring all the things to Miss, Miss You can do the same in the yard, and when it's done, I'll ask Chef Yu to arrange for the people under me to send to the front yard." ”
Although Mama Li's status in the mansion is not as good as before, she still has a good relationship with several subordinates in key positions in the mansion, and she can still help Wei Qingwan with this matter.
After the decision was made, Wei Qingwan and Mama Li got busy.
At the same time, in the big kitchen, Wei Ruo invited everyone else out, leaving only himself and Xiumei.
These people in the kitchen are not familiar with them, and they don't have any tacit understanding, for fear that one of them will accidentally help.
Besides, the cook's face was not very good-looking when she went out, but Wei Ruo saw it; If the other party was unconvinced, Wei Ruo felt that it was better to be careful.
Although today's meal was requested by Chu Lan herself, she couldn't refuse to get it, but as long as she got it, she had to make it well, and she couldn't make mistakes.
So Wei Ruo decided to do it with Xiumei herself, as long as she didn't tell the public that she had a share of this lunch.
Although there are only two people, Wei Ruo and Xiumei have a tacit understanding, and they are skilled and methodical.
The stew and broth are boiled first, and the preparations for stir-frying are done, and after the front yard comes to report that Chu Gongzi, Lu Gongzi and Qian Zhixian have taken their seats, they will stir-fry the stir-fry to ensure that each dish is hot.
Dish after vegetable patch was brought out of the kitchen.
In the dining hall in the front yard, there were four people sitting - Wei Mingting, Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong and Qian Zhixian.
Lu Yuhong didn't go in the morning to see where the rice was growing in the field, and when Chu Lan came back and told him that he was going to Wei's family for lunch, he ran faster than anyone else.
Qian Zhixian praised again and again: "Good cooking, this is really good cooking, Lord Wei, you are so blessed!" ”
