Chapter 49: Opening a Small Kitchen
Zhou Ruoxue finally managed to soothe Su Yao to sleep and was about to leave. Before she left the Fragrant Garden, she saw Su Song walking in with a group of old women.
Zhou Ruoxue frowned and asked unhappily, "Butler Su, what time is it now? Why are you still bringing people to break into the Fragrant Garden at night?"
Seeing that it was Zhou Ruoxue, Su Song quickly bowed and said, "In reply to the Madam, the Master has ordered this old servant to arrest all the maids in the Fragrant Garden, and to force-feed mute drugs to those below the first rank and send them to the kiln."
Zhou Ruoxue's heart trembled. She understood what Su Yuanwang meant and could only nod slightly: "Go ahead, be quiet, the second lady has just gone to bed."
"Yes!" Su Song responded respectfully and waved his hand. More than twenty maids behind him rushed into the Fragrant Garden, tied up all the maids, gagged them and took them away.
Zhou Ruoxue sighed slightly, "A Ling, you stay here and take care of Yao Er. Tomorrow I will arrange for the maid to pick some smart maids to come and serve you."
Nanny Lin bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Madam."
Zhou Ruoxue then left with peace of mind. On the way, she was upset, thinking that Su Yue was no longer as easy to control as before, and she had to find a way to get her money back.
On the next morning, the aroma of mushroom chicken soup wafted through Qingyou Garden again.
The cause was that Rendong went to get breakfast early in the morning, and when he came back there was only a bowl of thin porridge and a plate of vegetables with a few chopsticks.
Su Yue was dumbfounded when she saw the breakfast, "Oh my god, why is today's breakfast worse than before."
Honeysuckle explained indignantly, "Girl, you don't know that when I went to get breakfast, I was also shocked when I saw this breakfast.
I asked them what was going on, and they all said that even the old lady ate the same things.
The maids from other rooms who came to get breakfast were still glaring at me. This really pissed me off. I didn’t provoke them, so why did they all look at me like an enemy?”
Su Yue thought: Silly Rendong, you didn't provoke them, but I, your master, did. It's not easy for the Su family to come up with 250,000 taels at once and still be able to eat all this.
Nanny Yang smiled and said, "Although both of our Su family's masters are high-ranking officials, their ancestors were poor and penniless, so how could they have so much wealth?
Now that I have lost my wife's dowry and have paid so much money to my daughter, how can I afford my previous extravagant expenses?"
After hearing this, Honeysuckle suddenly understood, "So that's how it is. No wonder everyone wants to beat me up when they see me."
Su Yue ate a few bites and then stopped. It felt as if not even the vegetables were added with oil, and there were very few grains of rice in the porridge.
Nanny Yang then ordered Rendong to stew the remaining pheasant and dried mushrooms.
Su Yue had an idea when she heard this, and she slammed the table and decided not to go to the big kitchen to get meals anymore. Qingyouyuan would use a small kitchen from today on.
Nanny Yang and Rendong were also very happy. They opened a small kitchen and could cook whatever they wanted. However, the only difficulty at the moment was that they had no cook.
Su Yue was puzzled: "Hmm? Mammy, Honeysuckle, don't you know how to cook?"
Madam Yang blushed, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, young lady. I can only cook simple dishes like noodles and porridge. I can't cook other exquisite dishes."
Su Yue looked at Ren Dong, "The mushroom chicken soup you made is delicious."
Honeysuckle also smiled awkwardly: "Miss, I only know how to cook a few soups, and this one was taught to me by my cousin."
After saying this, Honeysuckle's eyes suddenly lit up, "Miss, if you don't mind, I can let my cousin be the cook in the small kitchen.
Because my second uncle is the chef at Yunlai Restaurant, but he was replaced by the new owner a few days ago and is still looking for a job these days.
My maidservant cousin loves to cook, and she has learned a lot of skills from her father. It’s a pity that the restaurant doesn’t hire female cooks, otherwise my maidservant cousin would have wanted to go.”
Nanny Yang thought it was not bad, but she still had some concerns, "Rosewood, what kind of person is your cousin? Nanny, let me say something unpleasant. If she is not a good person, you must not bring her to the young lady. You also know the young lady's personality now. She cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes."
Su Yue nodded in agreement, saying that Yang Ma was right. She didn't want to have a person with bad intentions around her just for a bite of food.
Honeysuckle said quickly, "Miss, Madam, don't worry, my cousin is well-known in the village for her diligence. Not only does she cook delicious food, but she is also an honest person. She would never have those evil thoughts."
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go to your house tonight, and then you can invite your second uncle's family over to talk and make a decision."
After hearing this, Honeysuckle nodded happily and took the pheasant and mushrooms to prepare chicken soup.
Su Yue looked at Madam Yang and asked, "Madam, how many second-class and third-class maids are there in our courtyard?"
Nanny Yang replied truthfully, "There are four more, two second-class maids and two third-class maids."
Su Yue tapped the table lightly with her fingers and continued to ask, "Madam, do you think that without these maids, you and Ren Dong can handle the work in Qingyou Garden?"
Nanny Yang looked at Su Yue in confusion, not quite understanding what Su Yue meant.
"The young lady is not difficult to serve, she can certainly do it. But the young lady intends to..."
Su Yue looked outside the door, where two maids were sweeping up the fallen leaves in the yard.
“It’s nothing, I always feel like they are not my confidants, keeping them around is like monitoring me, and I feel comfortable all over.
Mammy, if you feel that you two can't handle it, you can keep one more, the one you think is good, and I want to let the others go."
Nanny Yang pondered for a while and then expressed her thoughts, "Miss, it's not that I'm lazy, but I think it's better to keep the troops in place. If we only keep one or send all of them away, the doctor and the old lady will try their best to squeeze two more in, because they will think that something strange is going on."
Su Yue nodded, agreeing with Nanny Yang's idea: "Madam, you are right. Let's do this for now."
In Songning Garden, Old Madam Su looked at the bowl of porridge, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a dish of steamed sea bass in front of her, and her brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch an ant to death.
When Nanny Zheng, who was arranging the dishes, saw Old Madam Su's expression, she knew that she was unhappy.
She also specifically explained: "Old Madam, your meal is the best in the entire Su Mansion. Other masters only have a bowl of thin porridge and a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and even the stir-fried vegetables don't have much oil in them."
How could Old Madam Su not know the situation? All the money that could be used and would be used in the future in the mansion was in Qingyouyuan. Naturally, there was not much money to prepare the previous meals, but she still felt angry.
"Snapped!"
Madam Su slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "In that case, I have to thank them. I have never had such a shabby breakfast since I was born.
What? Is the Su family going to go bankrupt? They can’t even afford a bowl of bird’s nest porridge. How can the eldest daughter-in-law manage the family?”
