Chapter 18: Starvation

Lin Rong went out and walked to the back kitchen.

Originally, women were pleasing to themselves, but they couldn't even see each other, so this method didn't work.

But there is another trick, that is, to use cooking skills, make some food, send it to taste, arouse your appetite, maybe you will find it every day, but it is much higher than letting Xiao Ning automatically send it to the door.

Moreover, Lin Rong is also very confident in his cooking skills. Now I want to ask about Su Yang's taste, take this opportunity to explore, and I am more sure of the Agricultural Lantern Festival.

After two turns in the back kitchen, the kitchen girls were busy and couldn't turn around, and they didn't seem to be happy to take care of her.

Lin Rong was helpless, and suddenly saw the girl on the side burning the fire, her face was smoky, so she hurriedly hugged a bundle of firewood, sat down beside her, and helped break it and send it to the stove.

Ke Bi, the fire girl, was the only one who extended a warm hand to her a few days ago, and I don't know if I can get some news from her.

The kitchen is busy, there are many people coming and going, and the sound is noisy.

The two of them sat behind the half-man-high stove, watching the fire crackle and burn in the stove, which was also very comfortable.

When he was free, Lin Rong took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, opened it, and handed over the half-warm jujube paste shortbread.

The thin yellow skin, wrapped in sweet and soft jujube paste, is crispy to the point of falling off the slag. Ke Bi liked it very much, and ate three in one go, and the two of them got to the point.

"The head of the family is very busy, he rarely cares about the affairs of the inner courtyard, and there are special maids and grandmothers to take care of his diet on weekdays, so we don't have to worry about this!"

While chatting, someone called Ke Bi for breakfast.

The large table in the kitchen was a patchwork of several small tables, and in the past, there was already a bowl of millet and pumpkin porridge left on it.

"You're going to eat this in the morning?" Lin Rong said angrily, just now I saw more than a dozen white-flour steamed buns steamed in the pot, how could she be gone, and she was bullied.

Ke Bi was afraid that she would cause an accident, so she looked around in a panic, but no one noticed, so she pulled her sleeve and begged her not to say anything.

He lowered his voice again and said, "It's good to leave a bowl of porridge, sometimes you don't even have this." ”

"You've just arrived, I don't know. The Su family is the master who eats first, followed by the slave maid. The servants below are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the fire girl is the lowest. ”

"Today I have the bread you gave, it's already good, I'm full."

Lin Rong looked at her little face and felt distressed for a while, she did physical work every day, how could she eat enough with just a few gruel and two cakes.

"It's not every day that you go hungry." Ke Bi looked up at the loving gaze in Lin Rong's eyes, paused and explained: "Sister Liu Xiang next to the eldest lady, that is a first-class maid, she came out of the same village as me, and she is good to me, if she doesn't take care of her, I won't be able to stay in this back kitchen." ”

After only saying these two words, Ke Bi's face changed, and he seemed unwilling to say any more, so he changed the topic.

"Is your young lady okay with you?"

"Hmm. If the young lady has something delicious, she will always share some with me. In the future, if I have delicious food, I will also divide half of it, and I will never hide it! Lin Rong patted his chest and said.

Ke Bi was envious and said: "I am also a slave, I am not as good as you, I look stupid, and no master can look down on me." If you can serve by the master's side, it is a thousand times better than here. ”

Lin Rong could have begged Ke Bi to come to their courtyard, but in case the operation of the Agricultural Lantern Festival failed, and in the end, everyone in the courtyard would be thoroughly investigated and sold, so it would be better to let her stay in the back kitchen or find another way out.

Thinking about it like this, I didn't open this mouth.

"I don't know what the head of the house likes?"

"You young lady want to please the head of the house? There are other ways to do it. I heard those cooks say that on the fifth day of the first month of every month, the head of the family will always hold a red kite and stare at it, probably because he likes it, but when he is old, he is embarrassed to put it, right? ”。

Lin Rong's eyes lit up, the news that his cousin had received, Su Yang's study was secret, and there was a kite with a fiery red pattern hidden, and he couldn't help but believe Ke Bi's words.
