The white porcelain plate and the sandalwood table made a crisp sound, and the last dish from the back kitchen was placed on the table.

Li Shixian looked at the dishes on the table, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he liked it or didn't like it.

"Childe, this is already the earliest table of dishes made by the Red Mansion, let's see if you want to try to eat first. If it doesn't work, then let them retreat, how about it?" Li Deming, as Li Shixian's old housekeeper, naturally knew that under Li Shixian's seemingly immobile appearance, in fact, his heart should have been very angry by now.

"No potatoes. Li Shixian looked at the food on the table and had no intention of moving the chopsticks, but replied with four simple words.

"This, Childe. You see, you've been on the road for four days, and you've been eating potatoes basically every day for those four days. Why don't we change the taste today, and eat it tomorrow?" Li Deming stood beside Li Shixian, leaned over and bowed his head and said.

"Li Deming, are you teaching me?" Li Shixian took a sip from the teacup, looked at a tea leaf floating vertically in the teacup and said lightly.

"Childe, Deming doesn't dare. Li Deming didn't expect his son-in-law to be so angry about the potato. Whenever Li Deming is called out by Li Shixian's full name, it means that Li Shixian is really angry, and he is still very angry. "I'm going to the back kitchen and urging them to serve the potatoes as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm. Li Shixian snorted softly in a nasal voice, picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

Li Deming bypassed the screen and gently pushed the door open, walked out of the house, closed the door behind him casually, and looked at the few people in the Red Mansion waiting outside the door. Li Deming shook his head slightly, sighed and said, "Everyone, the old man has done his best. There is really no way to do it, and sure enough, everyone still has to prepare the potatoes as soon as possible. Otherwise, Childe would not be angry easily. ”

Actually, it's not that Li Deming has any way to persuade Li Shixian, it's just that he just said that as for whether Li Deming accepts it or not, he, Li Deming, completely knows that it is not feasible. The reason why Li Deming was willing to help the Red Mansion say such a sentence was because the Red Mansion had informed Li Deming that the potatoes could not be supplied on time.

Li Deming admires the responsible approach of the Red Mansion very much, and who can do it like the Red Mansion now. It can be said that there are very few of them.

"Well, it seems that there is no way to do it. Anyway, thank you. Steward Li has made you feel good. Qing Wan'er clasped her hands into fists and thanked Li Deming.

"Hey, it's polite to clear the shopkeeper. After all, everyone is an old acquaintance, and this little favor should still be helped. It's just that this time, it's really a hard requirement of the son, and the old man can't do anything about it. I only hope that the shopkeeper can carve the potatoes faster. Li Deming said.

"Yes, the Red Mansion has carved the potatoes as quickly as possible. Then we'll go downstairs first. Qing Wan'er saluted Li Deming again, and then took Tian Hanzhong and Aunt Fang to walk downstairs.

When she came to the first floor, Qing Wan'er frowned slightly, she looked at Aunt Fang with an embarrassed face and asked, "Auntie, what's going on with today's potatoes in this kitchen? Why can't you provide them to guests? I remember that you were already peeling potatoes in the morning? Why haven't you done it well yet?" Can you tell me about the specific reason?"

Aunt Fang felt that now that Qing Wan'er had asked clearly, it seemed that she couldn't hide it. She only hopes that Zheng Zumeng and Li Ying's two little girls will not be punished too harshly.

Aunt Fang briefly talked about the kitchen, but she deliberately took the fault on herself.

"Auntie, since that's the case, it's not a big deal, isn't it? Don't be so nervous, now it's time to find a way to prepare what Li Gongzi wants. Qing Wan'er said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll go. After Mrs. Fang finished speaking, she ran to the kitchen behind her.

However, when Mrs. Fang was still five steps away from the kitchen, a huge rabbit head appeared at the door of the kitchen.

"It's ......"

Also surprised were Qing Wan'er and Tian Hanzhong, who also noticed the behemoth coming out of the kitchen.

"Aunt Fang, great, hurry up, I'm about to lose it. Zheng Zumeng and Li Ying were holding large potato carvings, and they were trembling when they walked, as if they were about to turn over in the next moment.

"I said, you two little girls, what are you doing here? Where did this come from...... Rabbit?" Qing Wan'er saw Aunt Fang stepping forward to help, so she pulled Tian Hanzhong and herself to help.

Don't say that this potato carving looks scattered, but it's really heavy. The reason why I think that the big rabbit carved by potatoes is scattered, it is because Zheng Zumeng and Li Ying make the best use of all the potatoes, and this rabbit carving that everyone carries in their hands is made of many small rabbit carvings. Therefore, when you look at it from a distance, you will think that it is a complete rabbit carving, but in fact, as long as you look at it a little closely, you will find that there are rabbits connected to each other.

"Ah, nothing happened. Didn't you just ask for potatoes? Now you have potatoes, and how good it is to carve them. Zheng Zumeng raised his head with a face, come and praise my expression.

"You two did this?" said Aunt Fang, looking at the potato carving she was holding in her hand.

"Well, what's the matter, isn't the previous problem solved all of a sudden?" Zheng Zumeng's face was full of excitement, and she looked at everyone and said. And the old cat at her feet was meowing, as if she was proud of its owner.

"That's amazing, Miss Meng. I didn't expect you and Miss Li to have such skills? I admire it very much, can you teach me another day? "Tian Hanzhong liked this potato carving from the first time he saw it, and if he learned it, he would have a pastime on weekdays.

"Don't be happy so early, wait and see if Li Gongzi will be satisfied. After all, people are guests, so even if we boast about the flowers here, we can't do it. Qing Wan'er's words made Aunt Fang and Tian Hanzhong, who were still very excited just now, silent again.

"Sister Wan'er, all of you should put a hundred hearts! That guy ...... Ah, I mean that Li Gongzi is absolutely satisfied, and if he is not satisfied, we have a second plan. The guarantee is foolproof this time. ”

Li Ying, who had not spoken, spoke at this time, but everyone did not take what she said seriously. Because a few of them can't do it at all, where does Li Ying's self-confidence come from?

However, Zheng Zumeng believed in Li Ying quite a bit, because she and Li Ying found a secret in the horse pen behind the kitchen. Zheng Zumeng glanced at Li Ying with a look full of faith, then looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, everyone, since the matter is up to the two of us, we must be responsible for our own affairs." And this big rabbit-shaped potato carving, it is where our sincerity lies. ”

"This ......" Qing Wan'er knew that Zheng Zumeng's and this rabbit was carved very well, and it could be seen that it was carved with great care, and it was made of so many small potato carvings, which looked really attractive.

"Well, now I just hope that Li Gongzi will like it. You two should go back to the kitchen first, don't be seen by Li Gongzi's people. After all, the identities of the two of you are a bit difficult to expose. After Li Ying settled Li Ying and Zheng Zumeng, he instructed Tian Hanzhong and Aunt Fang to move the big potato rabbit upstairs with him.

"Knock knock, Steward Li, the potatoes are carved, do you want to take a look?" This potato is really too heavy, Qing Wan'er is worried that the three of them will not be able to bear it after climbing the third floor, and she will smash the potato carving on the ground if she lets go for a long time, Qing Wan'er knocked on the door quickly and politely, and asked Li Deming inside.

"Squeak"

Li Deming opened the door from the inside, and the door opened, and the huge rabbit head was facing his head.

"This ...... Yes"
