Metropolitan Water Superintendent Chef Section 119
Then he looked at the others in the kitchen and said:
"Today's lunch supply needs to be taken care of by everyone, and the children need to leave first if there is something at home."
"Don't worry, isn't it just a matter of cooking? Don't worry, if this is done, what are we still doing in the back kitchen? ”
"Hahahaha!"
These words immediately drew laughter from everyone.
Even a smile appeared on Zheng Wan's face, "Okay, I'll entrust the matter of lunch to everyone." ”
"Mrs. Zheng walks slowly."
Zheng Wan hurriedly bid farewell to everyone in the back kitchen and rushed home under the scorching sun.
On the way, she thought to herself: If she hadn't settled the deal after all the effort she had made today, she would never let herself lose money, and as she said yesterday, she would do something else to sell and make some hard-earned money.
While she was thinking wildly, Yunhua had already taken Qu Rou in the direction of Zheng's house.
In order not to be found out that the ox cart was a musician with a reputation in Luoyang-Rou Niang, they also deliberately changed to a plain-looking ox cart and rushed nervously all the way to Zheng's house.
And Qu Rou immediately lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out along the gap as the ox cart entered the Buzheng Workshop.
The scene in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, children playing on the streets, all kinds of stalls set up on both sides of the road, and next to them were shops that did not lose to the East Market, as well as a high-gate compound belonging to the Shi clan.
Young memories are always so illusory, too many to remember.
But when the ox cart turned into Wing On Street, the child's memories instantly echoed in her mind, and she watched the changes in the street outside while silently counting in her heart.
Until she counted the familiar number, and the bullock cart stopped just where she fell.
Yunhua on the side saw that the position had arrived, and immediately got off the ox cart, put the stool away, opened the corner of the door curtain, and reminded:
"Lady, you can get off."
This voice instantly brought Qu Rou, who was immersed in thoughts, back to her senses, and as soon as she turned her head, she was immediately noticed by Yunhua that something was wrong, and asked with concern:
"Is the lady uncomfortable? If there's anything going on, we'll come back next time. ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little bumpy along the way, and it's okay to slow down."
Hearing this, Yunhua instantly turned his head and used a murderous look to get the coachman up and down.
Seeing the coachman frightened, he subconsciously led the cow rope and shrunk his figure, worried that he would be shot by Yunhua with his eyes if he was not careful.
But as Qu Rou put his hand on Yunhua's hand and slowly got out of the carriage, the two of them walked towards the current Zheng Mansion.
The coachman cautiously looked up and saw this scene, and he was also relieved, and hurriedly drove the carriage to the open space in the market.
"Knock knock!"
Yun Hua knocked on the door loudly directly, anyway, she was upset when she looked at this Zheng Mansion now.
Qu Rou shook her head disapprovingly in her eyes, "Yunhua, don't be rude. ”
"Whoa."
At this moment, Zi Yunhua was willing to lower her knocking sound, but after knocking for a while, there was no movement from inside, and the expression on her face was wrong again.
Just as he was about to say something, Zheng Wan's voice came from behind him.
"Are you two ladies who wanted to order dim sum yesterday?"
Following the voice, Qu Rou and the others instantly turned to look at the comer.
When she saw Zheng Wan's appearance, Yunhua was taken aback, she didn't expect that the owner of Zheng Mansion actually had a beautiful face, and she thought that it was some kind of master with deep cooking skills who made dim sum.
A flash of surprise also flashed in Qu Rou's eyes, and she replied with a smile:
"If the lady is talking about the person who came to visit yesterday morning, it should be the maid Yunhua below."
"Since the two of you are here to order dim sum, please come in first. I just came from the place where I worked, and I guess I need to scrub it before I can serve the guests. ”
The two looked at Zheng Wan's sweaty appearance and nodded understandingly.
Seeing this, Zheng Wan walked between the two, pushed open the door of his house, and shouted, "Please come in." ”
At this moment, Zhao Qingmiao suddenly appeared in the courtyard, looked at the three people who suddenly appeared, and immediately shouted to Zheng Wan: "Lady." ”
"Sanniang, you go and make tea for the two distinguished guests."
"Whoa."
Then, she looked at the two behind her, pointed to the tables and chairs under the trees in the courtyard, and proposed, "Please sit down." ”
But he never thought that Qu Rou would rarely make some rude words, and covered the regret in his eyes with a smile, and said:
"The lady's courtyard is very well decorated, presumably in the courtyard layout has its own ingenuity, I heard that everyone in Luoyang City loves peonies, I don't know if the lady's garden here can be seen?"
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look at the location of the backyard, trying to penetrate the layers of houses and see the scene in the backyard.
Zheng Wan was also a little puzzled why the other party proposed to see the garden in the backyard, and at the same time, she was very puzzled that she knew about the existence of the garden.
But soon she figured it out, it should be that the slightly larger courtyards in Luoyang City need to be vassal and elegant, and having a garden is also a feature.
It's just that her garden is a bit shabby and can't be handled, and now there is only one peony.
Some embarrassed to say: "That may be disappointing to the lady, the courtyard here was also renovated not long ago, and the garden in the backyard has been removed by the workers because of disrepair, many of which are no longer visible." Only one white jade peony is left, and the rest of the place is planted with farm vegetables, and it is not suitable for people with such an identity as a lady to visit. ”
The main reason is that the clothes worn by the girl in front of her are too expensive, and the fabric of the clothes is similar to the reward she received from Princess Yunyang.
When Qu Rou heard that the first half was all demolished, her heart suddenly fell, but when she heard that the white jade peony was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
said with a smile: "The long-standing white jade peony is not something that everyone in Luoyang City is lucky enough to see. ”
Zheng Wan heard that this meant that the other party still wanted to watch, thinking that there was nothing in the backyard that could not be seen, nodded and said:
"In that case, Sanniang, you take the two of you to the backyard to see the white jade peony."
"Whoa."
Chapter 79: Nut Cheese Bun (1)
Zhao Qingmiao was a little glad to take Qu Rou and the two to the backyard, thinking: Fortunately, she followed Zheng Wan's proposal, and just planted a little spice in the backyard, didn't plant too many vegetables to affect the landscape, and didn't pour anything unsightly into it.
Because she was thinking about things, she didn't notice Qu Rou, who was originally walking behind her, for a while, and now she had a faint posture that surpassed her.
And she walks, and is more familiar with the route of the backyard than she is who has been going back and forth in the backyard many times.
It's just that the three people present had different minds and didn't find out about it.
Qu Rou craned her neck to look ahead as she walked, and as her gaze passed between the hidden pavilions, she saw the white jade peony standing proudly in the backyard.
A dazzling smile burst out on his face in an instant, and his already outstanding face became more and more moving.
Zhao Qingmiao took advantage of his height, and also saw the familiar words at a glance, and immediately pointed to the location of the peony and said:
"Lady, please look, that is the only peony left in the backyard, it is still in full bloom at this time, it has a longer flowering period than other peonies, and it has grown wantonly for so many years, and its height is higher than that of others."
"That's true."
When Qu Rou exclaimed like this, her voice was still a little choked.
As her personal maid, Yunhua suddenly heard that something was wrong, and just wanted to say something.
I saw that the Rou lady, who had always behaved properly and gentlely, actually lifted her skirt excitedly and trotted excitedly to the location where the white jade peony was.
Then with a bright smile and tears in his eyes, he asked excitedly:
"Yunhua, take a look, is it as tall as this white jade peony?"
This was the first time Yun Hua had seen such a dazzling smile on Qu Rou's face, and the words he just wanted to ask were suddenly stuffed in his throat.
At this time, Qu Rou was like an innocent child, her eyes were clear, and she couldn't say anything to refuse.
Therefore, she slowly walked towards Qu Rou, carefully compared the white jade peony blooming on the side with Qu Rou's height, and replied:
"The lady is as tall as the white jade peony."
"Really?"
Qu Rou seemed to be a little surprised, and seemed to be a little incredulous, so she turned around and took a big step back, raising her head and looking at the top of the white jade peony with burning eyes.
His gaze happened to pass through the top of the peony, and he immediately understood that what Yunhua said was true.
She didn't expect that she really grew as tall as this white jade peony, and for a while joy and sadness were intertwined, and she was speechless for a while.
Zheng Wan walked over from the corner of the front yard and saw this picture, accompanied by beauties and peonies, it was really a perfect picture.
The sound of her footsteps was not small, and it immediately attracted the attention of the trio.
Zhao Qingmiao walked directly towards her in an instant, standing behind her, and doing her best as a hired person.
When Qu Rou saw that the master's house was coming, she immediately restrained her excitement, covered the light in her eyes, and said with a smile:
"This peony is really worthy of the words of the Xiangshan monks who praised it as 'the peerless only Xizi, and the peony is the only peony', and it grows alone to the height of the people, which is really a beautiful scenery worth savoring in the courtyard."
"Rou Niangzi has an overreputation, and she also dragged the blessing of her predecessors to get this peony, and she didn't ask a florist to serve it carefully, and it grows savagely, where can it compare to other finely crafted Wei Ziyao Huang."
"Those are so strong that they can't compare to this strain."
As soon as these words came out, Yunhua suddenly understood why his wife usually refused the peonies given by others, and it turned out that she liked the wild ones in front of her.
She couldn't help but put her eyes on this white jade peony, which was not the most beautiful, and looked up and down, striving to cultivate it with the bean green planted in Qurou's courtyard.
Zheng Wan felt that the flowers had also been seen, it was time to talk about business, she had to go back to the back kitchen of the capital water supervisor to preside over the dinner later, and she couldn't delay too much time at home.
So, he took the initiative to speak: "I just don't know what kind of snacks the lady wants to order when she comes today?" It's good to make arrangements early. ”
Qu Rou also seemed to realize that she had delayed too much time here and had forgotten the purpose of her trip.
Lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "I don't know what kind of dim sum the lady is good at?" ”
"I can make dim sum that uses milk, similar to the Qingtuan, cake and other dim sum that Liu Langjun ordered here before, with both salty and sweet flavors."
Hearing this, Qu Rou instantly thought of the familiar cheese she had eaten last time, and a light flashed in her eyes, looking at Zheng Wan expectantly.
"I wonder if the lady can make other snacks that use cheese? The taro puree cheese Qingtuan that I ate from Liu Langjun last time suddenly felt the taste of my childhood. ”
Zheng Wan's mind instantly popped up all kinds of bread and cakes, and cheese was indeed a good choice to add to them.
However, in order to give the girl in front of her a better experience, she asked again:
