[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

Xiao Dengzi moved quickly, and just after paying the money, he bought the basic supplies such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, firewood and charcoal, and some soup ingredients that Lin Yu asked for.

"Returning to the master, the servant has prepared everything according to your instructions. The servant has already greeted the godfather. If you need anything in the future, just make a list and wait for it to be done together when you buy it every day. It will be fine. The price you bought here." Xiao Dengzi reported to Lin Yu as soon as he finished his errand.

Lin Yu looked at the soup ingredients. It wasn't the best, but the appearance wasn't too bad, and the money wasn't too much. "The things are well prepared. I'm afraid there will be a lot of places to trouble your godfather in the future. It's better to let him help for nothing all the time. From now on, I will give you another ten taels of silver every month. Whether you buy things or use them to honor your godfather .”

"The slave first thanked the master for the reward on behalf of the godfather, but it is very unnecessary for the master to spend so much money. It is enough to reward the slave with two pieces of silver and buy a jug of good wine for the godfather." Xiao Dengzi did not expect this unexpected joy. , Ten taels of silver is really a lot, half the moon silver of godfather, and meeting such a generous master, little Deng Zi also feels that there is hope in the future, it is not in vain. My Excellency, I think this move is right now.Little Dengzi is not stupid either. If all the ten taels of silver were given to his godfather, he would be so full as soon as he came up. Wouldn’t it cost more to ask for work later on? Mi Chou, you have to take your time, you can't start with a big appetite.He is a member of Zhinian Pavilion, and his honor and disgrace will depend on his master's favor in the future. Although his godfather is good to him, he still needs to distinguish between the primary and secondary. The master may not know such mundane things, and he is a servant. Remind one or two aside.

"You are loyal, be careful that your godfather will deny you if he finds out." Lin Yu said with a smile, it seems that this little Deng Zi can be reused, and I hope it will remain the same in the future.

Little Dengzi chuckled: "As long as the servant doesn't tell me, how can godfather know?"

"Okay, since the money is given to you, I will leave it to you to deal with it. You can do it as you see fit. In the future, you will need money to handle it outside. As long as you can solve it directly with money, we won't make trouble."

"Thank you, master, for your kindness." Little Dengzi's smile became more and more sincere. It seems that his master is also a sensible person, so there is no need for him, a current person, to make unnecessary actions. All he said here means that the ten taels of silver are paid with full authority. Handle it for yourself, as long as you maintain the relationship well, let yourself keep the rest, and you can gain such trust from the beginning, Xiao Dengzi is grateful, and naturally he will work harder in the future.

"Don't be busy here, you go to the dining room again, and ask for an old duck, and some lilies." Lin Yu looked at the sky, enough for her to cook a pot of Cordyceps lily and old duck soup, if there is no accident, Yinzhen should still come to her place tonight, of course, we must quickly find an opportunity to deepen Yinzhen's impression of her, otherwise it will be difficult once the novelty wears off.

It's early autumn, and the daytime is still a bit dry. Yinzhen must be a little angry after a day's work outside. Drinking a bowl of Cordyceps Lily and Old Duck Soup not only reduces dryness, but also has the effects of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the stomach, nourishing the lungs and kidneys, which is just right but.

Wugu not only gave Xiao Dengzi the money to buy ducks, but also gave Lin Yu the ten taels of silver that Lin Yu had ordered just now, but it was not a piece of silver, but one or two taels of scattered silver, which was convenient for Xiao Deng. Sub access.

Little Dengzi was quick on his legs, and it took only a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. Not only did he bring back a fat old duck and a large bag of high-quality lilies, but also two plates of freshly baked pastries.

"Sister Wugu, godfather doesn't want the duck's money." Little Dengzi returned the money to Wugu.Little Dengzi's godfather, Master Ma, got two taels of silver reward, so naturally he won't ask for small money like ducks, and it's also a good sale for Zhinian Pavilion.

"Return some money to me." Wu Guo spat on Xiao Dengzi, pulled Xiao Dengzi aside, and whispered: "Forget it today, there will be more places to buy things in our yard in the future." Now, even if you have a few pennies, you have to calculate it clearly, and you can’t let outsiders talk about it, and it’s not easy for your godfather to do it when the time comes, so you have to make it clear to your godfather next time you go.”

"Understood, understood." Xiao Dengzi nodded repeatedly.

Lin Yu got busy and instructed Xiao Li to clean the duck again to make sure it was clean inside and out so that the duck soup would not taste bad.Put it in the water and blanch it first, skim off the foam and take it out, add clean water to the casserole, put the blanched duck in, simmer on low heat for half an hour, then add Cordyceps and lilies and simmer for another half an hour.The heat of the stew must be well controlled, it can't be too big or too small, and it has to be kept at a certain temperature, so someone has to squat aside and watch the whole process. At this time, Lin Yu doesn't need to guard it. Wu Guo followed Lin Yu when he was in the Lin Mansion. I was used to it, and knew how to control the fire, so I taught Xiao Lizi and others how to watch the fire.

Dinner is still served in the dining room, and Lin Yu can't cook every day, stew a soup or make a pastry, she is too tired to do it every day, it seems that she can only wait for an opportunity in the future Arrange a cook in the kitchenette.However, because of the reward in the afternoon, the dishes presented to Lin Yu in the evening were obviously better than those at noon. Whether it was the taste or the dishes, Lin Yu ate comfortably, and was still thinking about the duck soup simmering in the kitchen, so she saved some The son's stomach will be used together when Yinzhen comes, and most of the rest will be given to the people below as extra meals.

Yinzhen went back to the mansion and stayed in the study for an hour after finishing his meal. It was about Xu time that he remembered Shu Fujin, who had just arrived in the backyard, and went to Zhinian Pavilion.Lin Yu finished grooming a long time ago, she looked fresh and refreshed, her face was still unpainted, but her lips were slightly tinged with color, and she was sitting on the soft couch reading miscellaneous notes to pass the time while waiting for Yinzhen's arrival.Waiting for no one, Lin Yu simply softened his body and leaned on the soft bed, thinking that if he didn't come for another half an hour, she would drink the duck soup by herself, and she didn't forget to tease herself. Eating and drinking Lazard is waiting for a man to favor the ancient backyard life, but it is accepted well.

"Greetings to Lord Baylor."

The drowsy Lin Yu was shocked by the sound of greetings from outside. The ancient times without entertainment programs made Lin Yu's work and rest time very good, and she wanted to go to bed after seven o'clock.The big boss came, and the sleepy bug had long since disappeared. Lin Yu casually put the book aside, got up from the bed, adjusted her clothes, and then went out to greet him with small steps.

"Greetings to Grandpa."

"You don't need to be too polite." Yinzhen raised his hand to help, Lin Yu got up and followed Yinzhen inside.

"Are you still used to it in the mansion?" Yinzhen looked at the house that had been rearranged. The bookshelves in the small study room were already stuffed with books, leaving only a small half empty shelf, and many small ornaments were added to the house. It looks quite interesting and adds a bit of warmth to the house.

"It's all good." Lin Yu replied, and personally twisted the handkerchief to wipe Yinzhen's hands, looking very natural, "After inviting the concubines and concubines, I came back and fell asleep again." Lin Yu's expression was on here With a little red, she looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't think there was any problem, and continued:

"There is also a small kitchen in Zhinian Pavilion. I think Fujin knew that the concubine likes to eat, so he prepared it specially. I changed the concubine to thank Fujin. In the afternoon, the concubine asked someone to go to the dining room to ask for an old duck and cook it in a pot. Cordyceps lily and old duck soup is simmering on the stove, let me have a bowl for you to taste?"

Looking at Lin Yu's expectant eyes, Yin Zhen, who has no appetite, still nodded.Lin Yu happily ordered someone to bring the soup, and then hurriedly served it to Yinzhen herself, and specially put a stewed duck leg on it.

I thought there was another layer of oil floating in the soup, but I couldn't see any oily flowers. Yinzhen picked up a spoon and took a sip. It tasted a light fragrance, without a trace of fishy smell, and there was a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. After several drinks The mouth doesn't feel greasy, but there is a sense of comfort from the inside out.After taking only a few mouthfuls for dinner, Xu Zhen felt a little hungry in his stomach. After taking the chopsticks that Lin Yu handed over in a timely manner, the duck leg fell off with a light pick. The duck meat hardly needs to be chewed. The fragrance of the stock filled the mouth and flowed down the throat into the stomach, making the stomach that had been uncomfortable all this time feel warm and comfortable.Under Lin Yu's service, Yinzhen ate one and a half duck legs and three small bowls of soup. Su Peisheng, who was waiting on the sidelines, was amazed. It was the first time he saw his master who didn't like meat eat so much meat at once. Can't help swallowing quietly, Shu Fujin didn't know how delicious the duck soup was.

Yinzhen, who was slowly drinking the last bowl of soup, finally noticed someone's eager eyes, "The soup is good, you should also use some."

Lin Yu happily filled a bowl for herself, drank it and said: "Since the Lord approves of the concubine's soup, then I will send a pot of nourishing and nourishing soup to Fujin some other day, I think Fujin will like it too, Thank you, Fujin."

This concubine Fu Jin is really bold, to take Master Baylor as a soup tester?I'm not afraid of making Lord Belle angry.Su Peisheng on the side was surprised.

"How do you know that the small kitchen was arranged by Fujin? I just wanted to thank Fujin, what if it was arranged by someone ordered by my father?" Yinzhen drank the soup, there was food in his stomach, and he was much more relaxed, looking at the side Lin Yu, who was drinking delicious soup, felt teased.

Lin Yu didn't seem to have thought of this possibility, and was a little dazed for a while, forgot to continue drinking the soup, and replied blankly: "I have to worry about everything outside, it's enough to bother me, how can I have the energy Take care of the maid and concubine's small kitchen..." The last sentence seemed to be wrong, so the voice became softer, and quickly thought of another reason, "The backyard is presided over by Fujin, and the maid and concubine thought that the small kitchen should also be Fujin I told you..., if you don’t dislike the handiwork of your servants and concubines, your servants and concubines will cook soup for you every day.” Lin Yu was making the last attempt to make amends, but she actually believed that the small kitchen was ordered by Yinzhen.

"It's getting late, go to bed early after drinking the soup." Yinzhen looked at Lin Yu who was at a loss, and ended the teasing just now.

"Master, do you want to eat duck noodle soup tomorrow? If you want to eat it, the concubine will order the soup to continue to simmer. It happens to make duck noodle soup tomorrow morning. Eating pasta is not good for the stomach, especially when the weather is getting colder in autumn and winter. It is better to eat it." It’s more comfortable to go out when it’s warm, and then it’s fine to eat noodles without soup.” Lin Yu’s small mouth was like peeling garlic cloves, thinking about all aspects, for fear that Yin Zhen would refuse because of the soup, just now I was at a loss and forgot to clean up.

"You can arrange it." Yinzhen looked at Shu Fujin who was more than ten years younger than her under the lamp. He did not expect to be such a considerate and caring person at such a young age. When he had a meal in the morning, he would think of his breakfast. It's not good, it hurts the stomach, now not only the stomach is comfortable, but the heart is also comfortable, the breath around the body is also much more relaxed, the person Er Niang likes is really good.

Sure enough, Lin Yu was delighted to make arrangements one by one, and even specifically told people to knead the dough in advance to wake up, and to do it herself when she got up.Yinzhen sat on the couch and listened to Lin Yu's explanation. He picked up the miscellaneous books that Lin Yu had put aside just now, and flipped through them. The atmosphere in the room was very warm for a while.

It's just that this atmosphere was quickly broken, and someone outside told Yi Cui, the eldest maid of Li Fang Fujin, to report: Brother Hongyun is not feeling well, and he has been clamoring to see Ama.

Lin Yu's hand in front of him tightened a little, the competition for favor came too fast, and he didn't even plan to give her the most basic first three days, it seemed that he was going to give her a blow.

Yinzhen put down the book, beckoned Lin Yu to come forward, patted her hand and comforted her: "I'll go and have a look first, I'll wait for my master to come back."

Lin Yu, who got the promise, regained his energy, nodded heavily, with a bit of worry on his face: "Master, hurry up, little elder brother's body is important."

Before Yinzhen left the house, he could still hear Lin Yu's explanation of how and how he was able to neither lose his temper nor be too soft. He sighed in his heart, this Lin is also..., that's all, if he can keep his original intention in the future, he will Protect her a little more.
