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

The lotus leaf lotus pod soup was ready, Liu Mei and the kitchen servants hurriedly put it in a soup bowl, and sent it out in a red lacquered food box.

At this time, Jia Mu, Sister Feng and others had left the garden and gathered in Mrs. Wang's upper room.After a while, lunch was set, and when Jia Mu saw the soup being served, she nodded and told Sister Feng to pick out some vegetables for Baoyu, and send them to the garden with the soup.

I only heard Jia's mother complaining: "The weather is hot, and I feel too much to walk a little. It's strange that their young children are lazy to go out of the garden to eat."

Liu Mei secretly looked up, and saw that Yingchun was missing from the three springs present, and Daiyu did not come out.

Sister Feng immediately interjected next to her: "Yes, if the day is long, even if the sun goes down, the heat won't go away. Don't talk about others first, Sister Lin won't be able to bear it for the first time. Besides, Baoyu's situation, I'm afraid she will also be in the garden. Li rested for several days."

When Jia's mother heard Sister Feng talk about the two jades in her heart, she was inevitably moved.

Mrs. Wang smiled and joked, "That's an idea. Now that there is a vacant room in the back garden gate, how about calling two cooks over and cooking for their sisters now? Anyway, there are vegetables and meat in the original order. , but it’s just a matter of dialing from one place to another. Right now, we only need to find two suitable people.”

When Jia Mu heard this, she only reasoned that she was afraid of making another kitchen trouble, so she ordered Sister Feng to find a cook first, and then talk about it later.

Sister Feng smiled and stopped persuading. Her hands were quick and she had already picked up Baoyu's vegetables and put them in another food box.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mei and Yu Chuan, the maid beside Mrs. Wang, were honored to be named and responsible for delivering soup and food.

Liu Mei held Baoyu's dishes in her hand, and followed Yuchuan into the courtyard, only thinking about her own thoughts along the way——

In the original book, there is indeed a small kitchen in the Grand View Garden, but the small kitchen was built about half a year later, and it was built in a severe winter.Liu Mei vaguely remembered that this matter was also Sister Feng's suggestion.Now Sister Feng has thrown this matter out early, and she doesn't know why.

She bit her lip and frowned, but she still couldn't figure out what building a small kitchen had to do with Sister Feng's mission line.In her mind, Sister Feng's promotion route is nothing more than a successful house fight, a thriving business, and grasping both "money" and "power".

But will building a small kitchen in the Grand View Garden be a very profitable business?

She thought about her thoughts for a while, then raised her head, and found that she had already fallen a little away from the jade bracelet.

Liu Mei hurried to catch up with the food box, and saw that Yu Chuan was dressed quite plainly today, only wearing a pair of silver lilacs, no other jewelry and flowers, and her complexion was gloomy.Liu Mei knew that it must be because of Jin Chuan's affairs, and she didn't know how to express condolences, so she said awkwardly: "Sister Yu Chuan..." She thought that it was a crime for Mrs. Wang to order Yu Chuan to make this trip.

Yu Chuan had no expression on his face, and only said lightly: "Hurry up, before it's too late."

When Baoyu came to Yihong Courtyard when she was young, Baoyu was very happy to see Yuchuan, and tried her best to talk to Yuchuan.

But Yuchuan was full of anger. Baoyu asked ten questions before she could barely answer one.

Liu Mei listened to the awkward chat between the two, and it was really boring. She put the bowls and chopsticks beside Baoyu, while she sat by the far door, thinking about her own thoughts.

For the lotus leaf lotus pod soup, because she didn't handle the lotus leaf flying water, nor did she cook the chicken soup, so the system didn't give her gold coins as a reward.

However, Liu Mei didn't pay much attention to it—she was able to see the four sets of silver molds in her lifetime series, and used her own hands once, trying her best to successfully make those small lotus pods, so that the taste of the small lotus pods and the soup blended into one, she has already very happy.

But when she woke up, she heard Baoyu complaining: "It's not delicious, don't eat it!"

Liu Mei immediately stood up: Is there any mistake, Baoyu said that the lotus leaf soup she personally participated in making and tasted was not delicious? !Is there any reason for this!

This soup, as Sister Feng said, mainly depends on the good soup and a little lotus leaf aroma, but the selling point is all the exquisitely shaped small lotus pods and small water chestnuts.These small lotus pods made by Liu Mei, in addition to using freshly chopped fresh chicken, borrowed a little ginger to enhance freshness and remove fishy smell, and added some crushed horseshoes. — She put so much thought into it, oh, Baoyu, who is in the blessing and doesn't know the blessing, dare to say it's not delicious?

Liu Mei was never afraid of Baoyu, so she opened her mouth to refute at this time, but she saw Yuchuan took a sip in anger, said a word of Buddha, and said, "This is not delicious, what is delicious?"

Liu Mei agreed loudly in her heart.

Baoyu laughed, and finally said, "It's delicious now!"

Only then did Liu Mei and Yu Chuan understand: this is Baoyu coaxing people to taste the soup!

Yu Chuan was immediately annoyed, and put Baoyu's bowl and chopsticks on the side of the couch, then turned to Liu Mei and said, "Liu Mei, come and serve the master of your courtyard!"

So Baoyu saw Liu Mei gritted his teeth and sat down beside him, with an angry face, reached out to pick up the soup bowl, and handed it to Baoyu fiercely.Baoyu was at a loss immediately, not knowing why one offended the other before coaxing it well.

At this time, two women from Yihong Courtyard came to pay their respects, and greeted them from outside.Baoyu's eyebrows and eyebrows were both distracted. Baoyu stretched out his hand and knocked the soup bowl askew. The soup was dripping and sprinkled all over Baoyu's hand.

Liu Mei was taken aback: how could such a good soup be wasted.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, she quickly straightened the soup bowl and put it aside, then quickly took a towel and handkerchief to wipe up the spilled soup.

But Baoyu asked in a hurry: "My eyebrow, where is it burnt? Does it hurt?"

Liu Mei complained in her heart - this is not cross-bridge rice noodle made by my sister, why is it hot?

Next to it, girls of all sizes came up to help Baoyu tidy up together. Someone said, "Second Master Bao, you just got burned yourself. Just ask others."

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows, and thought for a while: Of course Baoyu can't feel that it's hot, because it's not hot at all!

This bowl of lotus leaf lotus pod soup, since it was cooked, went to Mrs. Wang's room first, stayed there for a while, and then was brought all the way to this Yihong Courtyard. Although the weather is hot, it is absolutely impossible It's still hot.It is not too warm in the mouth, but if you sprinkle it on your hands, no matter how delicate the precious jade is, it will not cause any serious problems.

At this time, the two women came in to greet Baoyu, Baoyu had to say a few polite words, then winked at Liu Mei, and whispered, "Mei'er, please stay!"

Liu Mei flattened her mouth and waited aside.The maid next to him came up to clean up Baoyu's couch, and then retreated.

Baoyu immediately turned around and beckoned Liu Mei to come over.

"Mei'er, go to that shelf and get those two glass vials."

According to Liu Mei's words, she went to the jade rack and saw two small glass bottles, about three inches high, with silver lids and light yellow sticks on them.

In Liu Mei's eyes, the glass bottle is not a rare item, this thing looks quite exquisite, but in Liu Mei's eyes, it is just like the seasoning bottle she found on a certain treasure in the later life.

She took it off honestly and gave it to Baoyu.

But Baoyu didn't pick it up. Instead, he lowered his voice and said to Liu Mei, "Mei'er, run for me and take these two bottles to Sister Lin."

"It's very hot now, so I told her not to come here when the sun is hot. It's cooler when you go out in the morning, but there is dew in the garden, so be careful stepping on the moss to slip..."

"My sister has a bad appetite. She only ate five out of ten meals. With these two bottles of fragrant dew, my sister may be able to drink more water..."

Baoyu chattered on and on and on, Liu Mei looked at Baoyu, feeling quite speechless——

If it is said that Baoyu is completely useless, it is not always the case.

Most of the time, Baoyu is quite soft and cute, putting others before herself... baby, although it is of no great use.

But this person, Liu Mei had to say, at least treated the servant girl as the same person as him, and also admired and cared for the many women around him.

If Jia's mansion had never declined, and Baoyu had the opportunity to be a rich and idle man with no hands, perhaps later generations would only regard him as a "gifted scholar" among "gifted scholars and beautiful ladies".

Unfortunately……

Thinking of this, Liu Mei couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This guy is better than that Prince Pippi Shrimp who would cut his hands and tongue out every now and then!

As soon as she thought of this, the sound of the system going online immediately came from her consciousness.

"Reminder: The upgrade route has changed, the upgrade route has... changed!"

I went, why did it change again?

Liu Mei was furious when she heard this—she has been promoted for so long, but she is still a second-class maid, the junior cook she agreed to?

What kind of a moth is this time the upgrade route has changed?

But after the system reminded her, it never reminded her of any changes in the upgrade route.

"Please note: the notification just now is an external interference, the upgrade path has returned to normal, the next level, level 03, senior cook!"

Hearing this, Liu Mei finally felt relieved, and complained to herself: This upgrade delay, how could it be delayed for such a long time?

But Baoyu was looking at her eagerly at this time, hoping that she would promise to bring the two bottles of dew to Daiyu.

Liu Mei put on a straight face, and said, "This is impossible! My wife has been given to you by so many people, and I took it out later, what should I do if I am sued for theft?"

Besides, Mrs. Wang and Xiren had just had a secret talk, so they probably kept a close eye on things like giving and receiving privately.Although Baoyu is sincerely concerned about Daiyu, it can teach others to know that it is not appropriate for someone to chew the root of their tongue indiscriminately.

Baoyu didn't expect this, but at this moment, he lay down on the couch, rubbed his hands, and said depressedly, "What should I do?"

Liu Mei thought for a while and said, "Look at me!"
