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

Liu Mei made a lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cake, and when the steamer was opened, the room was filled with sweetness and fragrance.Liu Mei tried a little by herself and was quite satisfied, so she quickly put it in a food box and walked out of the kitchen with it.

There were several servants gathered outside the big kitchen, but the Aunt Yao who had let Liu Mei in earlier was nowhere to be seen.Liu Mei saw that the women were discussing something quietly with their heads together, but seeing the sun rise, Liu Mei was afraid that the azalea and snow geese would be waiting impatiently, so she ignored these people, and hurried to the Xiaoxiang Hall .

When approaching the gate of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Liu Mei saw Xue Yan waiting at the door from a distance, and immediately waved to greet her when she saw Liu Mei—but it was not an ordinary greeting, Xue Yan was trying to put her index finger on her lips. On the top, it seems to be telling Liu Mei not to make any noise casually.

This posture immediately reminded Liu Mei of the time when all the servants held their breaths when they went to Rongxi Hall.

Could it be...there is a big boss?

Sure enough, Liu Mei quietly followed Xueyan into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, before reaching the main hall, she heard an old lady's voice saying out of breath: "My Yu'er is so weak, the imperial doctor told me to eat well, This early in the morning, you actually sent this here?"

Listening to Liu Mei's tone, it was clear that it was Jia's mother—why, this is the issue of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion's treatment, which finally came to light?

Then someone replied without confidence: "Old lady, these small dishes are all made in Jinling Dacheng'en Temple; the servants always think that Miss Lin may be more accustomed to the food in the south... It's really not intentional to treat Miss Lin poorly."

It was the voice of Yao Shi, the lady in charge of the big kitchen.

Now Mother Jia was even angrier: "You all coax me! Do you think I have never lived in the south? The kohlrabi made in Jinling Dacheng'en Temple is also kohlrabi!"

"Not to mention this, why is it that Yu'er's girl is cooking japonica rice porridge by herself?"

"If it wasn't for Feng girl and Yuanyang who urged me to get up early and go shopping in the garden, how would I know that this would happen?"

It seems that the timing of Mother Jia's visit to Xiaoxiang Pavilion this morning was very coincidental, and she caught the five-spice kohlrabi and homemade japonica rice porridge right on the spot.

"You aunts, this is how you take care of your niece and daughter? Second daughter-in-law, you take care of the house, and you don't know that the kitchen in the house is like this? And girl Feng, who always listens to you and never sees you Good life to take care of your sister?"

The more Jia Mu spoke, the angrier she became. She only heard the sound of the legs of chairs brushing gently on the ground in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It seemed that several people stood up and listened to Jia Mu's lesson in silence, but didn't say a word. Dare to refute.

"...One by one, they look Xiaojing on the outside, but they are coaxing me behind their backs!" Jia Mu concluded very forcefully.

Listening to the situation, Liu Mei made up the whole process of the "Dongchuang incident" by herself: I think Jia Mu brought the two wives of King Xing and Sister Feng, and for some reason, went into the Grand View Garden to visit Daiyu, but found the Xiaoxiang Pavilion Her breakfast treatment was a bit worse than that of others, and Daiyu's little maid had to do it herself, so she got angry immediately.

At this time, Zijuan and Feng'er came out together. Feng'er saw Liu Mei, his eyes lit up, and he lifted Liu Mei's food box when he came up.

A sweet fragrance overflowed without warning.

In the main hall of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Wang Xifeng's bright voice rang out immediately, "What did you send outside, so sweet?"

Feng'er immediately took the food box from Liu Mei, and replied respectfully, "If you go back to grandma, the pastries you just made were sent to Miss Lin." Then she sent them in.

"That's right, old lady, please don't be annoyed, this freshly steamed dim sum is indeed slower than usual eating, no, better late than never!" Sister Feng opened the food box in the main hall, and turned to Mother Jia Explain, "Zicuckoo, hurry up and make a pot of good tea. The old lady is greedy for Sister Lin's dim sum, and she can't move when she sees it!"

When Sister Feng interrupted like this, the atmosphere in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion immediately relaxed a lot, and the two kings Xing also laughed a few words along with them.Jia's mother laughed and scolded, "You monkey, you are the one who came to grab your sister's snacks, but you are on my head."

But Sister Feng said seriously: "The ancestor blamed me for this. Didn't I come to serve tea and water for the ancestor and sister Lin?" The tea was served to Jiamu Daiyu and others.

Liu Mei was listening outside, secretly worried: about the food and treatment in the Xiaoxiang Hall, it is useless for a little girl like her to talk about it; Daiyu couldn't talk about it because of her status; See, big kitchens aren't necessarily entirely in her remit.

It is best to have a big boss of Jia Mu's level speak out, so that the problem of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion can be fundamentally resolved.

After a while, Liu Mei heard Jiamu speak in the living room, asking: "This is not the taste of the big kitchen, it's more like the dim sum in the south, don't lie to me, who made this?"

The woman in charge, Mrs. Yao, had no confidence, and answered something in a low voice. Jia's mother put down her face on the spot and drank the tea in her hand: "After all, you are still teasing me!"

At this moment, King Xing had no choice but to put down the refreshments in their hands again, and stood up to listen to Mother Jia's lecture.

"Don't get angry with these servants, old lady." At this moment, Sister Feng said coolly, "They are lazy, and they will be punished in a while... But this cake, I tasted it, is also the taste of the south, which is better than usual. The cook is even better. I heard that the girl who made the cakes is waiting outside, so why don't the ancestors ask her to come and see her?"

When she was young, Liu Mei was introduced into the main hall of Xiaoxiang Pavilion by Zi Juan and Feng Er.

Daiyu is being embraced by Jia Mu, sitting beside Jia Mu, and when she sees Liu Mei coming in, she smiles at Liu Mei.

Liu Mei hurriedly bowed to her head, and met the three generations of bosses of Jia's old, middle-aged and young at once.

When Mrs. Wang saw Liu Mei, she was slightly impressed, and asked suspiciously: "You...are you a girl from Baoyu Courtyard?"

Liu Mei nodded.

Sister Feng interrupted immediately, and said with a smile: "I also remember that this girl's mother has been in charge of the stove in Lixiangyuan, and her craftsmanship is very good. Aunt Xue's wife praised it back then. And this girl is so young, she can also learn how to cook. A lot of work on the stove."

Liu Mei listened and knew that Sister Feng was afraid that Jia's mother would not believe her, so she carried her mother out first.

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Yes," she turned back to Jia Mu, "the daughter-in-law saw that this girl was filial and made good dim sum, so she made the decision and brought it to Baoyu Courtyard..."

Before Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Sister Feng immediately interjected: "...Yes, madam, thinking that Brother Bao's yard is close to Sister Lin's, wouldn't it be cheap to let a clever girl in and take care of both ends? "

Mrs. Wang was startled, and immediately understood Sister Feng's "good intentions", and quickly echoed her words.

Only then did Mother Jia calm down a little, nodded and said, "You are an aunt, you should have thought more about your niece."

She thought for a while and said: "Feng girl, the people in the big kitchen, I will leave it to you this time! You decide, and choose another reliable lady in charge. If you dare to have any kohlrabi from Nanjing Dacheng'en Temple... Just call out immediately."

When Jia's mother said this, Yao Shi, who was still waiting beside Liu Mei, turned pale and trembled, but dared not say anything.Feng'er led her back silently.

Immediately afterwards, Mother Jia pointed to Liu Mei again, and said, "This girl looks smart... There are few people around Lin girl, so I asked her to come and help her if she has nothing to do. Is there any money... just come from me, Yuanyang !"

Jia Mu greeted a big maid who had been quietly waiting behind her.

Mrs. Wang stood up in fear and said, "Old lady, that's great, but it's the same for a second-class girl who hangs with her daughter-in-law."

But Jia's mother made up her mind and said: "The rules in Baoyu's courtyard are still hanging. I'm giving this girl some consideration in private, so that others can know: I will give benefits to anyone who serves Yu'er wholeheartedly." !"

As soon as Jia's mother spoke, Liu Mei immediately became a bisexual.

This kind of treatment, even Hua Xiren can't compare it!

Liu Mei was a little happy, but in the end, even the "success" notification sent to her by the system was automatically ignored, and she didn't even know that her gold coins in the system had increased by a few more coins.Seeing Zijuan winking at herself, she quickly saluted the boss above and stepped back.

At this time, Xueyan was waiting outside, she rushed forward, hugged Liu Mei, and whispered excitedly: "Sister Liu Mei, from now on we can always be together!"

Zicuckoo also came out and smiled at Liumei.

As soon as the bosses left, the little girls in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion all came down quickly.Liu Mei packed up the food boxes and other things, and planned to send them back to the big kitchen.Zijuan said with a smile: "Mei Er, please trouble you, come back in a while, I will give you a taste of the good tea that even the girl praises."

Liu Mei was happy in her heart and relaxed on her feet. She happily walked out of the corner gate of the Grand View Garden, walked through a narrow passage, and came to a place not far outside the big kitchen.Before she went around a screen wall, she heard Sister Feng's voice inside saying: "The old lady's words, if I am playing for selfishness, how will I manage the other people in the future?"

Liu Mei was so embarrassed to hear that, she quickly retracted her feet and shrank behind the screen wall.I only heard that the former big kitchen steward, Aunt Yao, was pleading with Sister Feng, probably because she didn't want to be kicked out to Zhuangzi to go to Yunyun.

"Besides, you have dominated this position for so many years, it's time for a change." Sister Feng's tone was cold, even a little sarcasm, "Don't even think about asking the second wife. You can ask the second wife like this." In front of her, it's just embarrassing her..."

Liu Mei was stunned when she heard this: Could it be that Mrs. Yao really belonged to Mrs. Wang?

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xifeng lowered her voice slightly, and said to Aunt Yao: "...it's better to use this excuse to go to the village to manage. As long as you are willing to obey my orders, I will take care of you!"

When Liu Mei heard this, she felt that the empress dowager had realized it—it was only then that she fully understood: Today, Mother Jia reauthorized and handed over the jurisdiction of the kitchen to Sister Feng, and there must be Sister Feng's push behind it.But Sister Feng's calculations were not limited to this, she also took this opportunity to accept Yao Shi as her own, and put Yao Shi on Zhuangzi.

With a sound of "ding", the system pushed another message to Liu Mei, "This is another questline in the world of Red Mansions. It has nothing to do with your questline, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

The author has something to say: This chapter has a lot to write about Ah Feng, but it is related to the direction of the story, so I can't help but write it.Forgive me, let's continue eating tomorrow.

I wish you all a Happy Youth Day, and may the Force be with you!
