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

Liu Mei muttered to herself, but it didn't prevent her from making the Bazhen cake seriously.

Liu Mei first talked about the ingredients she wanted, and Feng Er immediately took her to the ingredients cabinet on the side of the big kitchen to get them.The ingredient cabinets are like medicine cabinets, small and exquisite one by one, with labels on the outside, Liu Mei glanced at them, and saw that they were not filled with medicinal materials, but some extremely expensive ingredients.

Feng'er watched from the side, seeing Liu Mei's posture, she knew that Liu Mei could read and write, so she didn't say anything, she just wrote it down in her heart.

According to memory, Liu Mei took out the ingredients of the eight traditional Chinese medicines she needed one by one, took out the scissors and weighed them, put all the extra ingredients back, and then started to grind and process them one by one.

At this moment, she missed the grinder she was used to very much. Now she grinds it by hand, which is slow and seems clumsy and unskilled.Liu Mei gritted her teeth - she had to complete the task earlier and return to her world earlier.

The eight kinds of materials that invigorate the spleen and replenish qi have been ground into powder. Liu Mei also made rice flour and sugar, mixed them together and formed a ball, and then prepared to be steamed in the drawer.

Feng'er had been silently observing Liu Mei's actions, at this moment she suddenly asked, "Do you want to use a mold?"

Liu Mei nodded.

Feng'er opened the cabinet containing gold and silver wares, and saw more than a dozen rows of moulds, from big to small, neatly arranged, but it was dazzling.

Liu Mei originally wanted to make a flat Bazhen Cake, which would be cut with a knife after cooling down after it was taken out of the cage.But seeing such a beautiful mold, it is not in vain.

So she turned around and wanted to ask Feng'er for some clear oil with no extra smell, so that she could brush a layer on the mold for easy demoulding.

Feng'er then walked to another cabinet, opened the cabinet door with a sound of "swipe", and saw that it was full, one porcelain bottle after another, according to the labels, it was full of various oils, even some willow eyebrows were not used. heard about it.

Liu Mei stuck out her tongue, trying not to show the expression of Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden, reached out and picked out a bottle of tea oil, poured a little, smelled it, and looked at the color of the oil, it was really good.

"These oils can only be stored for about half a year, and the taste will lose a lot..." Liu Mei said reluctantly while holding the bottle of tea oil.

"Pour it out if the taste changes, and then buy good ones. In short, grandma told me that the things here must not be bad at all. Don't say it's bad, but if other people's homes have better materials from ours, it won't work." " Feng'er explained indifferently from the side, and looked at Liu Mei contemptuously by the way, seeing her holding the camellia oil and refusing to let go, she felt that this guy was still a little rare in the market.

When the Bazhen Cake came out of the cage, Liu Mei carefully unmoulded the cake. The surface of these cakes was golden yellow due to the camellia oil. Coupled with the unique shape of the mold, each cake looked exquisite and beautiful. very high.Face control like Liu Mei also expresses his disappointment with his achievements.

Feng'er took Liu Mei and went back to Wang Xifeng's room to talk.

At this time, just as Sister Feng woke up, a young woman with curly hair was standing behind Sister Feng and brushing her hair.Liu Mei reckoned that this woman should be Ping'er.

Seeing Feng'er coming in with Liu Mei, Sister Feng asked in a deep voice, "What did she choose?"

Feng'er respectfully replied: "Bazhen Cake."

Sister Feng was obviously surprised, her shoulders trembled, and when she tilted her head, the grate in Ping'er's hand got entangled with one or two strands of black hair.

"Have you ever had it?"

"Respond to grandma's words, that's it." Feng'er answered in an even and even manner, without half a waste of words.

Liu Mei yelled in her heart that it was a pity, if Feng'er would give her a good word or two, and exaggerate her craftsmanship, it would be great.

However, in the final analysis, the quality of dim sum depends on tasting.

Sister Feng said to Ping'er, "Go and taste it. If you can drink it, go and make a pot of good tea."

Ping'er was very gentle, she didn't answer right away, she just looked down, and seeing that Sister Feng's hair was almost done, she turned around, took a piece of Bazhen cake, put it in her mouth, and tasted it in small bites, tasting it while looking at it. with willow eyebrows.

Liu Mei still has the same old problem, she is very nervous about the reaction of others when they eat her food, and at this moment she looks at Ping'er without blinking her eyes.

Sure enough, Ping'er smiled softly at Liu Mei and said, "I'm going to make tea."

Liu Mei was overjoyed, Ping'er passed this level very easily.

However, the system hasn't notified her yet, and she doesn't know if she has completed this additional task.

When the tea arrived, Sister Feng also took a piece of cake, put it near her mouth, and tasted it slowly, her face was indistinguishable, but her eyes gradually became brighter.

After hearing a "ding", the system went online, and a sentence came from Liu Mei's mind, "The upgrade path has changed. The next level, level 02..."

Sister Feng here finally took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "It's really good..."

She turned to look at Liu Mei.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng could clearly see the joy on Liu Mei's face - the heartfelt joy of cooking delicious food and being praised by others, natural and pure.

"you……"

Sister Feng looked at Liu Mei carefully, as if she wanted to see through her simple and harmless appearance, her heart, her origin...

"Would you like to leave Baoyu's courtyard and go to..."

Sister Feng asked Liu Mei slowly.

"Next level, level 02..." The system notification in Liu Mei's mind repeated again.

Liu Mei was dying of anxiety, what the hell is level 02!

Suddenly, eager footsteps came from outside the curtain, interrupting Sister Feng's questioning.

"grandmother……"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"Eldest sister has a fever... Mom came to ask you if you should call the doctor right now."

Liu Mei heard a low voice from behind the door curtain, asking Sister Feng for instructions.

The eldest sister has a fever at this time...

If she remembered correctly, Sister Feng's eldest daughter, Qiao Jieer, was suffering from smallpox instead of an ordinary illness—this directly led to Sister Feng's husband Jia Lian's short-term cheating.

"Upgrade path change failed, repeat, upgrade path change failed, next level, level 02, people in Baoyu room..."

"Damn it!" Liu Mei complained in her heart.

The system made a "ding" sound, indicating that it had entered a dormant state and left her alone.

Pippi Shrimp, you are too unreliable!

On Sister Feng's side, Ping'er and Feng'er heard that the eldest sister was ill, and they both showed a bit of worry on their faces.

Sister Feng was very calm, nodded, and said, "Don't panic, go and ask the doctor!"

The people outside responded, and the sound of footsteps hurried away.

Sister Feng turned her head and told Ping'er and Feng'er: "Ping'er goes to prepare the mulberry pigtails first, and then invites the pox queen; Feng'er goes to get some big red ruler heads for the people in this courtyard to tailor."

Both Ping'er and Feng'er were taken aback, "Elder Sister... is this a happy meeting?"

Liu Mei was quite surprised when she heard what Sister Feng said.She knew that sister Qiao had acne and that's all she had - because she was a spoiler.But how did Sister Feng know?

"I got up early this morning with my eyelids always twitching. My eldest sister has an inexplicable fever. Maybe it's just a happy meeting. Go get ready first, it's okay." Sister Feng softly comforted the two panicked maids beside her.

Liu Mei secretly thought, this Eldest Sister Wang also seems to be a bit of a spoiler.

Just as she was thinking, Sister Feng turned her face and looked at Liu Mei fixedly.

"You are not very young, you are born neat and clean, and your cooking skills are rare." Sister Feng sighed softly, "The eyebrows and eyes are also very beautiful. Although they have not grown, they are still a beauty... ..."

Liu Mei didn't understand, the eldest sister was sick, but Sister Feng didn't panic, instead she told her such inexplicable words.

"...So, you can't stay with me for the time being."

At this point, Liu Mei finally understood a little bit - I am afraid that Sister Feng wanted to keep her by her side earlier, but the eldest sister suddenly fell ill, and it was acne.Sister Feng couldn't take care of Liu Mei for a while, and because Jia Lian was a lustful and hungry ghost, she would have trouble without Sister Feng, so it was more appropriate for Liu Mei to return to Jiangyunxuan by herself.

Just now, her upgrade path may have been changed to Sister Feng's side, but because the eldest sister fell ill suddenly, and Sister Feng predicted that she would never have the time to bother with the big kitchen within half a month, so her upgrade path failed to change. .

What a pity, it was just a little bit!

"Yes!" Liu Mei agreed with a low eyebrow - anyway, her current upgrade path is still in Baoyu's room, so she hasn't gotten worse.

Liu Mei walked with Sister Feng for a while, but got some rewards in the world of the Red Chamber.Sister Feng gave her two small silver locks, and Feng Er gave her the bottle of tea oil she had used.

When Liu Mei returned to Jiangyun Pavilion, it was almost time for dinner.It was very quiet in Jiangyun Pavilion, but Liu Mei sniffed it, but felt something was wrong—there was a sense of cold war in the air.

Seeing that Liu Mei came back unharmed, Xiaohong quickly pulled her aside and asked some questions, with sincere joy in her words.

Liu Mei didn't go into details, but said that Sister Feng asked her to help for a while, but she didn't make things difficult for her.

"I've been walking for a long time, what's going on in this courtyard?" Liu Mei turned around and asked Xiaohong again.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiaohong secretly smiled and said to Liu Mei: "Don't go to the second master Bao..."

She pursed her lips, and Liu Mei followed her gaze, only to see Xiren crooked on the kang in the inner room.But Baoyu is sitting stiffly in the outer study, reading a book.

"Those two are arguing awkwardly!"

Xiaohong pointed in a low voice.

Liu Mei thought to herself: Hahahaha...

The cold war between Xiren and Baoyu was simply because Xiren tried to persuade Baoyu last night, but after half a day, Baoyu left all these behind.Xiren was naturally very annoyed, and because he believed that he had an unusual relationship with Baoyu, he naturally used his accent and gave Baoyu a cold face everywhere.

Where Baoyu could bear this, he became annoyed for a while.

Xiao Hong tugged at Liu Mei's sleeve, lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Just wait, let's see the good show."

Liu Mei obeyed her words, and huddled by the door together with Xiaohong, seeing their good roommate, classmate Huixiang, twisting her body, and went to Baoyu's study.
