Wen Yao was stunned, this is to invite her to cook.

Seeing Wen Yao's frowns, the mother-in-law immediately said, "Don't worry, the girl won't let the girl do it in vain." ”

Wen Yao didn't think it was done in vain, the two hundred taels given by the Xie family last time was actually quite a lot, forget it, anyway, it's just a meal, what if the old lady doesn't even eat what she cooks?

When the carriage arrived at Xie's house, it didn't stop at the door, but entered the house directly through the side door, and the mother-in-law helped Wen Yao get out of the carriage while telling the little maid beside her.

The little maid ran away, and the mother-in-law took Wen Yao to follow slowly.

It's the same way as last time, but when I got to the fork in the road, I turned around, this time heading towards the backyard.

Seeing Qiu Rongrong again, compared to the last time, Qiu Rongrong's outfit this time is much simpler, without the cumbersomeness of last time, the current Qiu Rongrong makes people feel shrewd and capable.

She just sat casually on the soft floor, with a charcoal basin next to it, and the room was very warm.

"Madam, Miss Wen has arrived." The woman stepped forward and saluted, Wen Yao looked at Qiu Rongrong, smiled slightly and nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, anyway, she is not a descendant of the Xie family.

Qiu Rongrong glanced at her and pointed to the other side of her soft position: "Miss Wen, please take a seat." ”

Wen Yao thanked her, sat down, and asked directly, "Madame looking for me?" ”

In Qiu Rongrong's opinion, Wen Yao is a ten-year-old girl, not even a few years older than her son, but she also sent someone to inquire, and the chef who is suddenly famous in the countryside is a ten-year-old girl.

Wen Jia, ten years old, she thought of this family at that time, but she didn't expect it to be.

Qiu Rongrong stared at Wen Yao for a while before she smiled: "I didn't expect it to be really you." ”

"What?" Wen Yao tilted her head to look at her, puzzled.

Qiu Rongrong saw Wen Yao's stunned appearance, smiled again, and then said lazily: "The old lady has a bad appetite recently, she doesn't eat, I searched all the cooks to make her, she feels no appetite, and the doctor can't see any way." ”

I don't know if it's Wen Yao's illusion, I always feel that the smile on the corner of Qiu Rongrong's mouth when she said this, with a little bit of ridicule, what's going on?

Thinking of the last carriage, Wen Yao suddenly smelled the smell of melons, and her eyebrows flew.

Qiu Rongrong saw her reaction in her eyes and didn't say anything, just continued: "A few days ago, a subordinate in the house went home to visit relatives and had a banquet, and came back and said that the cooking skills of the spoon were comparable to that of a restaurant, so I asked people to inquire, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Wen Yao understood when she heard this, this was to ask her to cook a meal and see if the old lady could eat?

"So, Madame wants me to cook a meal for the old lady, right?" Wen Yao pointed to herself and said.

Qiu Rongrong nodded: "Yes, don't worry, I won't let you do it in vain, no matter whether the old lady eats it or not, there are five taels of silver, if it really solves the problem of the old lady's anorexia, there will be an additional reward, little girl, can you?" ”

Wen Yao's eyes lit up when she heard the five taels of silver, anyway, it's just a meal, what's so rare, if it just happens that Old Madam Xie likes to eat again, it will be even better, and there is an extra reward.

"If it doesn't work, let's try it first, by the way, what is the old lady's usual taboo or dislike?" Wen Yao asked.

Qiu Rongrong glanced at the mother-in-law who brought Wen Yao in just now, and the mother-in-law immediately stepped forward and said: "The old lady is old, she likes light, and she likes sweets, and because she has bad teeth, the food she eats must be soft and glutinous. ”

Wen Yao nodded, that's it.

"Then Madame will borrow the kitchen?" Wen Yao doesn't say that she is confident, she is still eighty percent sure.

Qiu Rongrong saw her like this, opened her mouth, and seemed to have something to say.

Wen Yao thought for a moment and boldly asked, "Madame, is there anything else you want to tell me?" ”

This is also what Wen Yao guessed, after all, she had a good impression of this Mrs. Xie from the beginning, although she was so unhappy last time, but after getting along today, Mrs. Xie did not have any, and she was very polite to her, and she did not act high because of her own and her awareness.

Qiu Rongrong smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you were young and ignorant of the world, but I didn't expect that you still couldn't hide it from you, and there is no one else here, let me tell you the truth."

This matter may be deliberately made difficult for me by the old lady, so no matter what you do, I will pay you whether she eats or not, but I don't want you to think that I am not good at cooking, so I will tell you in advance.

Of course, it's possible that she herself is really uncomfortable. ”

It's just that the last probability is not too high, after all, it is not uncommon to deliberately make things difficult like this before.

She married into the Xie family as a stepmother, and she was already thought by the Xie family to be a high marriage, not to mention suppressed everywhere, it was better in previous years, but now the Xie family's own industry is sluggish, and she, as the wife of the family, can naturally only use her own money to make up for it.

But what about them, spending her money, but looking down on her, what kind of truth is this, but Rao is unhappy in his heart, and for the sake of his son, he has to cheer up to deal with them.

This time, the old lady tossed back and forth for half a month, just because she had told her about the New Year before, and asked her to take money to supplement her relatives, although she agreed, but the money she gave was half of the money proposed by the old lady, and the old lady took the money but felt uncomfortable, and felt that she deliberately lost her face, so she tossed it all the way.

Wen Yao is different from those cooks, those cooks take money to work, stay if they do well, and send them away if they don't do well, but Wen Yao is Yi'er's life-saving benefactor, Qiu Rongrong didn't want to wronged her, so she told the truth, so that Wen Yao could be psychologically prepared.

Although Wen Yao didn't know the twists and turns, she knew in her heart when she heard Qiu Rongrong say this, there were really a lot of intrigues in the back house of the ancient people.

Wen Yao saw her frowning, so she was relieved: "Madame doesn't need to worry, leave it to me, rest assured." After speaking, he winked at her and threw a look.

Qiu Rongrong was amused by her playful appearance, and the depression in her heart was slightly evacuated, and said: "The facts last time are correct, I didn't mean to send you with money, this is not my intention, and please don't blame the girl for this." ”

It's good to take the money and send it away, they wish they could send it a few more times, but Wen Yao definitely can't say that, grinning and showing a smile that she thinks a ten-year-old girl should have, and said:

"Hey, it's okay, I want to thank Madame, with the money given by Madame, my family has now bought land and built a house, and bought a cow, it should be our thanks Madame."
