[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

"You know magic tricks!"

Wang Shanbao's family was in a state of desperation, pointing at the tip of Liu Mei's nose and cursing loudly.

Liu Mei was very calm, turned her body away, and let everyone see the inside of the cabinet, "Grandma Wang, you are really dazzled, you ask the big guys to come and see, where are the bottles here?"

When the bottle was there earlier, Liu Mei blocked everyone's eyes; now she moved away, and the bottle had long since disappeared.

After she finished speaking, she squeezed her two empty sleeves, and said with a smile: "If I really hide something somewhere, I can always find it."

As he said that, the smile on Liu Mei's face gradually faded, and his voice became cold, "Grandma Wang, you are also an old lady who has gone through things, and you know the truth about taking stolen goods from thieves. If you can find out the stolen goods, that's all. Shouldn't I give my little kitchen some justice?"

Wang Shanbao's family was a little confused, she confirmed that she was not old-eyed, but that things were in good condition in front of her, Liu Mei came over, stretched out her hand, and the bottle disappeared.

"Strange - I saw it just now, it's the bottle my wife used to hold rose water..." Wang Shanbao's family murmured.

"Grandma Wang, I've heard that there is aura in this garden. Some things appear inexplicably before your eyes, and then disappear immediately. I'm afraid it's a phantom in front of your eyes... It has something to do with the old things that people have done before. .”

Liu Mei was talking nonsense, but the face of Wang Shanbao's family changed, the muscles on his face twitched, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.This is Liu Mei's accidental hit, she poked the scar on Wang Shanbao's family, and reminded her of the bad things she had done in the past - this old woman has done a lot of things to get rid of people and eradicate dissidents by means of searches, and there is no lack of planting Framed.Now being poked by Liu Mei, he immediately felt a chill down his back and panicked a bit.

At this time, a younger woman stepped forward, helped Wang Shanbao's family, turned to Liu Mei and said, "What's the hurry? We haven't finished the investigation yet!"

She said to Wang Shanbao's family: "Even if nothing is found in this small kitchen, the girl outside has a big bag of good Poria cocos cream in her bosom. Where did she get such a good thing?" Things, why are they not stolen goods?"

She nodded slightly, and the servants of Wang Shanbao's family continued to search.

Liu Mei's listeners called the woman Qin's Sister-in-law, so they knew that this person should belong to Qin Xian's family.

This person kept saying that the Fulingshuang in Liu Wu'er's arms was stolen goods. Liu Wu'er heard it outside, and couldn't help crying again.

After the small kitchen was searched, the room dedicated to storing ingredients was already in a mess, the cages were tilted, and vegetables were dumped outside.And Qin Xian's family supported Wang Shanbao's family to go out.

"It's just this girl, and the bag of Fulingshuang found in her arms." Qin Xian's family pointed to Liu Wu'er, and said to Lin Zhixiao's family.

"Is there anything wrong with the small kitchen?" Lin Zhixiao's family knew Liu's mother and Liu Mei's mother and daughter, and knew that the two were close to Sister Feng's room. I also feel relaxed.

At this moment, Liu's mother got the news and rushed to the garden, and was terrified to see Liu Wu'er being detained.

"Grandma Wang," Mother Liu begged, "that bottle of rose dew is..."

She turned her eyes and saw Liu Mei beside Liu Wu'er, trying to wink at herself.

Mother Liu immediately changed her words, "I heard that there is... a bottle of dew in the wife's room?"

Wang Shanbao's family nodded, "It's not just Lu, there are a lot of odds and ends missing in my wife's room. Your daughter is carrying this big bag of Poria cocos cream, can your servants have such things? It must be a thief who turned around and went to bed with his wife." You'll know it when you're right."

She turned her head and said, "Since it's your daughter's fault, you can't escape."

"Take care of the three of them, mother and daughter, in this small kitchen, and wait for me to ask Mrs. Lin before the higher-ups will punish them. This man named Wu'er is obviously the main culprit. It is not yet known whether the others are the hostesses."

"By the way, look at this, don't ask them to report to Yihongyuan before you speak, otherwise you will make my brother come forward to intercede, everyone will find it difficult to do so."

As he said that, Wang Shanbao's family turned to look at Lin Zhixiao's family, waiting for the other party's confirmation.

Lin Zhixiao's family looked embarrassed, thinking: You have finished talking, what else can I say.

It's just that she knows very well that Wang Shanbao's family is relying on Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing is a muddleheaded person with a good temper to protect her weaknesses. If she goes against Wang Shanbao's family, she will inevitably get into trouble.

So it was done.

Immediately, the group went back to Li Wan and Tanchun first.Li Wan just ordered to see Tanchun because Brother Lang was ill and ignored his affairs.Tanchun has already returned to Qiushuangzhai. He only said that he knew it and ordered people to go back to Sister Feng and Ping'er to discuss ideas.

A group of Lin Zhixiao's family had to leave the garden to ask Sister Feng for advice.Sister Feng was sitting in the confinement period and was resting in the room. When she heard about this, she thought about it carefully and then told Ping'er: "Punch Wu'er for forty boards and hand it over to Zhuangzi immediately, or sell or match it." People. Since the Liu family has entered the big kitchen, I ordered her not to take care of the small kitchen in the garden... As for the small kitchen in the garden..."

Ping'er knew that Sister Feng was in a dilemma, so she smiled and said, "Grandma, don't be so anxious to make a conclusion. Let me go to the garden to ask first."

When Sister Feng heard this, she laughed and scolded, "Give it out with your little hoof!"

As she said that, she bowed her head and pondered, and finally said: "This matter, I have to teach the people at the eldest wife's side to be convinced."

Ping'er nodded, and said: "Grandma means, even if the small kitchen in the garden is not used, you should teach the eldest wife to calm down and don't dig out the flowers, right?"

Sister Feng nodded.

So Ping'er went back to the garden with Wang Shanbao's family and Lin Zhixiao's family.

Liu Wu'er was locked in the small kitchen stove alone, watched by several women who slept in the Grand View Garden in turn.

If Liu Mei was changed at this time, it would be like a fish in water, tossing and tossing around in the kitchen, time would be wasted.But Wu'er has never suffered this kind of crime. Seeing that there is not even a decent chair in the kitchen, he can only nest on a small bed, think about the past, and listen to the women outside. Angry and wronged, he had nowhere to complain, sobbing and crying all the way.

"Second Grandma said, Wu'er will hit [-] boards and hand it over to the farmer, or sell or match..."

Ping'er came over and said this in front of everyone, Liu Wu'er never expected that it would be like this, the desire to make a difference in the first place was all lost in an instant, and she rushed forward and grabbed Ping'er's skirt Corner, weeping and begging: "The Poria cocos cream was originally a gift from my uncle, not stolen."

Wang Shanbao's family next to him teased, "Whatever you say is what you say? In my opinion, your family is not clean."

Ping'er sneered, "Grandma Wang doesn't need to be like this, just bring others up for nothing...Grandma ordered that the Liu family has been working in the big kitchen for a while, so it should have nothing to do with this matter, so go back to work in the big kitchen as usual. As for Liu Mei, Her small kitchen was originally managed temporarily..."

When Ping'er said these words in such a tone, Wang Shanbao's family and Qin Xian's family felt that there was a connection, and they all opened their mouths, adding sauce and vinegar, "Miss Ping, you don't know the inside story. There is already a lot of dissatisfaction with this small kitchen", and he hurt Liu's mother and daughter enough, saying that this small kitchen seems to be heinous, and he has already done enough to cheat and enrich his own pocket.

Liu Mei was listening, and she was already angry in her heart - she also knew that this was not about a theft lawsuit at all.It was clear that the people who had been at odds with her family in the past made an excuse to throw their mother and daughter out of their positions in charge of the small kitchen.

To put it bluntly, it's all for a profit.

I only hate Wu'er for being careless, provoking these people for no reason, and letting these screwdrivers hold the handle.

At this time, someone probed at the door of the small kitchen, "What's going on here? Everyone gathered here?"

Liu Mei raised her head, and saw that the person who came was Xiaokitchen's old enemy, Siqi.

"Siqi," Ping'er greeted briskly, "what's the matter here?"

Seeing that it was Siqi who came in, both Wang Shanbao's family and Qin Xian's family didn't care, because the former was Siqi's grandmother, while the latter was Siqi's aunt—both of them belonged to themselves.

Si Qi looked at Liu Wu'er and Liu Mei who were being escorted, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Although it's late at night, the second girl missed dinner today because of her reading, and she wants some hot porridge to go with it. It’s best to have some side dishes to go with it.”

As he said that, Siqi really took out fifty coins from his pocket, handed them to Liu Mei, and said, "I know you need hard money to open a small stove, here, you don't need to buy any extra materials, just what you have in the kitchen will do." .”

Now Wang Shanbao's family and Qin Xian's family looked at each other, they didn't expect that there is such a way to make money in the small kitchen.

Liu Mei took the fifty coins, went to keep accounts first, and then went to the wall to get half a piece of wind chicken, soaked it in water for a while, and planned to steam it in a pan later until it softened, and then deep-fried the skin in a frying pan. Crisp, it is a wonderful side dish with porridge.

"Unexpected, unexpected—" Qin Xian's family shook his head and sighed beside him.

"I didn't expect this girl from the Liu family to do business like this!" Wang Shanbao's family also said, "Look, isn't this just taking the salary given by the master, and taking the salary that Qiao refused to do for the girls in the yard? Do you want to eat?"

Liu Mei kept a straight face and didn't speak - she was thinking in her heart, fifty dollars, is this also called a business?

Her small kitchen originally charged this "hard work fee", not for making money, but just to stop those who come to beg for things when they have nothing to do.

It's a pity that this became a crime in the eyes of Wang Shanbao's family, and her old man yelled at Ping'er: "Miss Ping, look, such a little girl is always thinking about money. She is in charge of the small kitchen and asked her superiors to know about it, how decent it is. Miss Ping, you must talk to Grandma Lian about this matter."

Liu Mei didn't refute, but Liu Wu'er next to her raised her tearful eyes, couldn't help but lowered her head again, tears fell down one after another, as if it wasn't her who hurt Liu Mei, but Liu Mei who hurt her.

At this time, it was Siqi who opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Come on, grandma! If you are in charge of the small kitchen here, can we still get a bowl of porridge from you at this hour? When will you send the second girl to the courtyard?" Did you ever take things to heart? The thing that the second girl asked you to do last time...Grandma, do you remember what it was?"

Wang Shanbao's family never expected that his granddaughter poked his old face in front of everyone, and his face turned purple immediately.

But Siqi didn't finish, "The mother and daughter of the Liu family have been in this small kitchen for some time. I can see that they are okay, at least they don't know how to watch people order dishes. Grandma, don't you bite others like this?" Let go, do you feel that the filial piety others give you is not enough?"

This time Wang Shanbao’s family’s selfishness was punctured, and he became angry for a moment. He stretched out his hand and was about to slap Siqi, but Siqi took a step and flexibly stepped aside. He turned to Ping’er with a smile and said, “Sister Ping’er, I I think it's okay for a girl like Liu Mei to take care of the kitchen."

Everyone heard that even the granddaughter of Wang Shanbao's family said that, and thought that this woman always bullies the weak and fears the strong, and many servants are demanded by her to be filial, they couldn't help but feel that the Liu family's mother and daughter are innocent.

At this time, Liu Mei had already prepared the food for Yingchun, put it in a food box and handed it to Siqi.

Qin Xian's family is much younger than Wang Shanbao's family, and he is much more tactful. He immediately went to Laping'er with a smile, and said, "Look at this small kitchen. The Liu family's family is not in the garden, so the girl from the Liu family is in charge of it alone." Well, it's actually not a problem. In addition, their family is somewhat irregular when they manage it. You might as well look at it like this. I have always been in charge of the work on the stove. Here... it's better to let me take care of it How many days?"

Wang Shanbao's family also helped their relatives to speak: "Miss Ping, Qin's is the most clean and tidy. She used to sleep at the south corner of the garden..." Suddenly realized that she had slipped her mouth, and was very embarrassed.

Ping'er seemed to be interested, looked up at Qin Xian's family, and said with a smile: "Why don't you try it for a day or two first?"

Qin Xian's family was overjoyed when they heard this, rubbed the corners of their clothes and said with a smile: "It is said that Lian Er|Grandma's lady Ping is the most fair and reasonable, as expected! Then I will... try it for two days?"

Liu Mei secretly gritted her teeth beside her.

She is not the position in the small kitchen of Lianzhan, but after all, this small kitchen was set up by her watching, and now it is taken away for no reason, and I always feel nervous.

Ping'er asked again: "Then tell me, what will you do if someone else comes over and wants to light a small stove?"

Qin Xian's family was even more certain that Ping'er was on her side, rubbing his hands immediately and said: "No matter which girl from the garden comes, naturally they won't charge a penny, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed, and they will be there whenever they are delivered."

Liu Mei was listening at this time, and finally heard some mystery, and couldn't help but look at Ping'er.

"Alright, so you can take care of it for two days first. If you take care of it and everyone agrees, then it won't be too late for you to take care of it in the future."

Saying that, Ping'er turned to look at Liu Mei with a pair of gentle almond eyes.

Liu Mei lowered her head, tried her best to hold back her laughter, and thought to herself: If people like Qin Xian's family can support this small kitchen, then I...then I'll reverse the name...cough, what more do I need? Name, just call Liu Liuhao directly!

The author has something to say: Liu Mei: From then on, I changed my name to 666...
