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

While thanking Liu Mei, she accepted all kinds of "gifts" from the maids and sisters.

In fact, the work clothes given to Liu Mei by Jiang Yunxuan's first-class maids for "temporary" wear are very uniform, basically the standard configuration of top + skirt + vest, but the personal style will be a little different.

The clothes Qingwen gave were very well stitched and brightly colored, but the gift giver was not very happy, so he tossed them into Liu Mei's hands with a "hum".

The ones given by Sheyue Qiuwen and others were well-regulated and old-fashioned, and they looked like they were mostly altered from old clothes that the master rewarded them.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Mei got six or seven sets of overalls, enough to change in a week. "Thank you sister Qianxue." Liu Mei solemnly thanked Qianxue who was the last one who came over, wondering, is this really Qianxue?

Ordinarily, this Qianxue should have been kicked out by Baoyu yesterday because of a cup of Fenglu tea.Liu Mei was a little dazed, not knowing what happened.She is very self-aware, and she doesn't think that the world of Red Mansions can change the trajectory of other people's stories because of her.

I saw that Qianxue was tall, almost a head taller than Liu Mei, and she seemed more mature. Seeing Liu Mei saluting and thanking her, she couldn't help but smiled at her, and stretched out her hand to comb her hair. A pair of cockroaches caressed each other, then turned around and went to work.

At this time, a woman came in from outside, and she really told Liu Mei that she had received a letter from Lixiangyuan, and Mother Liu told Liu Mei, "Don't worry about the family, and work hard".

Liu Mei was speechless, listening to these words, she could feel all kinds of pride and embarrassment in Mother Liu's heart - her Liu family has a maid who works in Jiangyunxuan!

Just as I was thinking, an old lady came in outside.When even Xiren saw him, he hurried up to salute and said, "Grandma Li, you are here!"

This person, Liu Mei, had been seen in Lixiangyuan before. It was Baoyu's wet nurse, Nanny Li.

Liu Mei instinctively felt that the relationship between Xiren and Nanny Li was a bit weird.

Sure enough, seeing that Baoyu was not there, Nanny Li just sneered twice, ignored Xiren's greeting, and went straight to Jiangyun Pavilion.

Theoretically, in this Jia mansion, Mother Jia is naturally the top boss, while Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and others are second in line. In front of their masters, attacking people is nothing at all.But if you are only by Baoyu's side, Xiren manages a row of more than a dozen girls' movies, praises this one and demotes that one, instigates this one to suppress that one, and is always keen to upload and send it down to Mrs. Wang and other immediate superiors, then it is like a Jiang Yunxuan closed the door to the chief executive.

And Madam Li, who has reached the age of retiring from old age, is a former chief executive who has passed away.

I think in the original novel of the Red Chamber, Nanny Li always said that Xiren is a hairy girl who came out of her hands, what a thing.It can be seen that when Nanny Li was the treasure mother in Jiangyunxuan, she was also a majestic chief executive, and she knew the taste, and fell in love with the feeling of being the chief executive. She never forgot, even after retirement , and always come to Baoyu's courtyard to look back at the past...

People are always in love with power and position - Liu Mei couldn't help thinking - even if it was a little bit of power and position.

When Mammy Li came in, she saw a bowl of tea on the table, she took it up and drank it, "Is this Baoyu's tea? Baoyu has gone out, it's still on hold, give me a drink."

Beside him, Qianxue hurriedly stopped her, "Farewell, Grandma Li, this is the maple dew tea brewed for Second Master Bao, it will become outstanding after three or four times, so it is specially reserved for Second Master Bao..."

Nanny Li turned a deaf ear, raised her neck, and poured it all down.

Naturally, Qianxue's face was not good-looking, she looked towards Xiren, and saw Xiren winking at her, signaling her not to say more, and not to embarrass Li Nanny.

All this, Liu Mei saw everything in her eyes, knowing that the "Maple Dew Tea Incident" that should have happened last night had really moved to today.

This is clearly a battle between Nanny Li and Xiren. Nanny Li wanted to show her status and authority in Jiangyunxuan, so she deliberately drank this maple dew tea.And she was sure that Xiren was willing to settle the matter, so that the people below her dared not say anything about her.

It's just that Qianxue was caught in the middle of this matter, but she was the one who got into bad luck in the end.

Qianxue might not be able to speak of anger at the moment, but she was very depressed, she pursed her lips tightly, turned around and walked away, but she was busy with other things.

"Sister Xixue..."

A timid voice sounded beside Qianxue.

Liu Mei asked cautiously, "That... Grandma, who is it?"

She wanted to find an excuse to strike up a conversation with Qianxue, so she could only pretend that she didn't know Nanny Li.Because she was a "pure" newcomer, Qianxue didn't doubt it at all, and immediately pointed her out kindly: "This is the nanny of Second Master Bao, and she has retired from her old age now."

When Qianxue said this, she paused again, and then added: "But Second Master Bao is still...respectful!"

Liu Mei said "Oh", pretending to understand, and asked in a low voice: "Then Grandma Li drank it, and Second Master Bao came back at night, thinking of this cup of tea, won't he be able to drink it?"

Qian Xue was still a little hesitant, and said, "Fenglu tea is very expensive, and this is all we have in the yard..."

Liu Mei persuaded her, "Second Master Bao probably won't remember how much maple dew tea we still have in our courtyard, but he brewed one before leaving the house in the morning, so he probably remembers it."

Hearing what Liu Mei said, Qianxue nodded and said, "You're right, I'll make another one, and when it's the third time, would you like to come and taste it?"

The maple dew tea is only good when it is brewed for the third or fourth time. The first few brewing waters are basically like washing the tea and must be poured out.However, Qianxue took the initiative to invite Liu Mei to taste the tea for the third time, which was full of kindness towards her.

Sure enough, the maple dew tea at Xixue's place had been brewed for the third time. Qianxue decanted the tea, poured it into another small porcelain bowl, handed it to Liu Mei, and said with a smile, "Try it?"

Liu Mei was not polite to her, she cupped it with both hands, first looked at the tea color, it was only slightly yellowed, then took another sip, Liu Mei thought: It really is white tea.

There have been different opinions on what the maple dew tea described by Mr. Cao is.At one time, some people insisted that this "Fenglu Tea" was invented by Mr. Cao.But Liu Mei didn't quite believe it—after all, Mr. Cao wrote very clearly, "It takes three or four times to be outstanding."The writing is so specific that Liu Mei is more willing to believe that Mr. Cao has tasted a similar kind of good tea and was very impressed.

Now that Liu Mei is here with Qianxue, and having tasted Fenglu tea, she can roughly confirm that this tea should be a high-quality white tea.After all, only when white tea is steeped for the third or fourth time can the tea soup appear clear and light yellow.

"Ding", there was a sound in Liu Mei's mind.

"The task of identifying maple dew tea is completed, the money will be increased by ten, and a piece of kitchenware will be rewarded. Please come and pick it in time."

When the system's voice came, Liu Mei couldn't help being surprised and delighted—it turns out that this can be regarded as completing the task!And besides leveling up, she actually has other chances to win kitchen utensils and... make money!It seems that this trip to the Red Mansion is getting more and more fun.

As a result, Qianxue was on the opposite side, seeing Liu Mei drinking the maple dew tea that had just tasted a little bit, she was so happy that she smiled.Qianxue has a gentle temperament, she didn't think much at the moment, she just stretched out her hand and rubbed the pair of curls on Liu's eyebrows.

After seeing Qianxue cover the re-brewed maple dew tea with a bowl lid and put it on the Duobaoge, Liu Mei found an excuse to slip away and go to pick out her reward kitchen utensils.

"What you get are system gold coins, which cannot be circulated in the world of Red Mansions. They can only be used to buy additional kitchen utensils or ingredients from me." The system's cold voice echoed in Liu Mei's mind.

"Oh," Liu Mei doesn't care much about money, anyway, her task is just to eat, "Is there any reward kitchen utensils that I can choose?"

She looked at the list provided by the system, thought for a moment, and picked out an oil thermometer.After all, she has just started to get acquainted with the stoves and kitchen utensils in this world, and she is not particularly proficient in controlling the heat.The oil thermometer can be very accurate to help her achieve the best cooking temperature.

As soon as she picked this one out, the system went to sleep with a "ding".

Liu Mei wrinkled her nose, and commented two words on her portable system - "indifference".

However, since Qianxue has re-brewed the Maple Dew Tea, the "Maple Dew Tea Incident" tonight should not happen again.

In the evening, when Jia Baoyu returned to Jiangyun Pavilion, he was very happy to see Liu Mei coming.

"In the future, if we want to eat anything, we can ask someone to go to the big kitchen to get some ingredients. Let's cook a small stove by ourselves in the yard!"

Everyone in Jiang Yunxuan laughed.

When Mrs. Wang transferred Liu Mei to Baoyu Courtyard earlier today, the big guys didn't take Liu Mei's craftsmanship seriously - didn't they just fight in Lixiangyuan for two days and did a bad job what?These maids don't believe that Liu Mei's son can cook any good dishes and snacks at his age.

It's just that since Baoyu said this, no one refuted him.

Then Baoyu turned her head, looked at Qingwen, and said, "I was eating at the mansion this morning, and sister-in-law Tuozhen brought a plate of tofu skin buns for you, thinking of you. .You can eat?"

Qingwen was straightforward, and said with a smile: "Don't mention it. I know it's mine, but it happened that Grandma Li saw it when she came in the morning. She said, Baoyu may not be eaten, so let my grandson eat it. If not, just take it home."

When Baoyu heard this, his handsome face quickly turned cold, "Hehe!"

"This old man has a better life than the old lady. One day without her, I'm afraid I can live a few more days!"

When Liu Mei heard Baoyu say this, she probably understood a little bit—it's no wonder that Grandma Li is always showing off her power in Jiangyun Pavilion, and the root cause is here.

At Baoyu's psychological age, he has probably reached the stage of youth rebellion, so he doesn't like Li Nanny to be in charge of this and that, and he doesn't like Li Nanny to use his power to give others face.However, the more Nanny Li saw Baoyu like this, the more she felt a sense of crisis, and the more she relied on suppressing people around Baoyu to maintain her power and dignity.

What a vicious circle!

When Baoyu heard that the bean curd buns given to Qingwen were taken home by Mammy Li for her grandson to eat, she immediately lost her temper and complained a lot.

Xiren had already rested at this time, and when he heard Baoyu's loud voice, he was afraid that his mother-in-law on the other side would hear it and cause trouble, so he hurried out to persuade him, saying, "Good second master, isn't it just a plate of tofu skin buns! "

She just wanted Baoyu to calm down, and when she saw Liu Mei standing far away, she immediately smiled and said, "Didn't the second master ask his wife for the Liu family sister to come here? I'm also afraid that Qingwen's hoof will not be able to eat so much."

This remark was in front of everyone again, and he gave Liu Mei a big slap in the face, once again helping Liu Mei attract countless jealous eyes.

Hearing Xiren's persuasion, Baoyu immediately turned his mind back, and said happily, "That's right, with eyebrows, shall we still worry about whether there will be something delicious in the future?"

Meier? ...

Liu Mei shuddered suddenly, feeling countless goosebumps on her back.She began to feel that the maids in the room looked at her differently.

Baoyu and Xiren are really an open-mouthed duo!It's just that one guides intentionally and the other speaks unintentionally, and the number of paragraphs is immediately obvious.

With that said, Baoyu turned to look at Qingwen, and said, "Qingwen, don't be upset, and ask Meier to clean up another dish for you later."

Qingwen was standing under the lamp at this time, Liu Mei saw her clearly, and saw Qingwen's extremely handsome pair of willow leaf eyebrows raised upwards, and stared at herself fiercely, the sternness in her eyes suddenly closed, and the corners of her lips raised slightly , showing a little sneer.

Liu Mei couldn't help but grimace—tofu skin buns!

This tofu skin bun is also a dubious dessert that needs to be verified.
