Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 33
It was Zhao Chenghuan, the third uncle, who stopped Zhao Jinyi.

Zhao Chenghuan's plump body stood at the door, and there was an aura of one man guarding the gate, and no one could open it.

Behind him were two burly maids carrying lanterns.Zhao Jinyi vaguely remembered that these two servants were the ones who carried water in the kitchen.Both of them have big shoulders and round waists.

Mei Ran and Ya Qing also each carried a lantern.The second maid was about the same height as her, with slender arms and legs, I am afraid that the two maids could crush the second maid with just one finger.

Zhao Jinyi never expected that she, Zhao Jinyi, would one day confront her family.

She glanced around.

The surroundings were quiet and dark, and no one had actually walked by.She wanted to call for help but couldn't find a shadow.

That's right, who would have thought that the Zhao family, which is usually harmonious and harmonious, would still have internal strife.The sisters-in-law of the Zhao family have never even blushed.

Zhao Jinyi looked at Zhao Chenghuan with a smile on his face: "Third Uncle is not saving it? Just now, Manager Hu sent someone to report that the grandfather wanted to eat the old hen soup made by his niece, and the niece was about to go to the kitchen. Grandfather is making soup."

The fat on Zhao Chenghuan's face trembled, and he smiled with a bland smile: "My niece has such filial piety, my father is really blessed."

Zhao Jinyi had a look of innocence on his face: "Third Uncle, didn't he take care of the illness by Grandpa's side today? He didn't think about it."

When she spoke, she seemed to have forgotten the previous conflict in Tai'an Courtyard.

The flesh on Zhao Chenghuan's face twitched.Zhao Jinyi in front of him was petite and exquisite, with double buns and cunning eyes.He suddenly thought of the face of the person who was loved more than ten years ago.

He almost suspected that Zhao Jinyi in front of him was the reincarnation of that person.Otherwise, how could it be so similar.

No wonder his father doted on this little girl in every possible way, and even made excuses outside, to dote on this little girl confidently.Hehe, the old man didn't even remember their ages or their names for his three-bedroom daughters.Such a comparison is really chilling.Obviously he thinks farther than the eldest brother and the second child, and his plan is bigger than the two elder brothers.

However, no matter how much her father dotes on Zhao Jinyi, this little girl is just like that person, a girl who can't accomplish anything.

Zhao Chenghuan looked at Zhao Jinyi: "In that case, the third uncle will go to the kitchen with my niece. Although the third uncle is not good at cooking, the third uncle has tasted the famous dishes in Kyoto. My father is not in good health. Shu Tan, then the old hen's soup must be boiled clear without any fishy smell before it can be eaten."

The third uncle is destined to embarrass her today.

Zhao Jinyi had learned how to make soup from Mrs. Wu, but it was limited to watching Meiran watching the fire and preparing the ingredients, and then stirring it with a wooden spoon meaningfully, and finally tasted it.

Which wife in the big courtyard of a deep house really washes her hands and makes soup, making herself as if she is smoky?Isn't that just like a cook?The wives in their deep house are all busy.

Zhao Jinyi's face almost froze with laughter: "That's really great. My niece's cooking skills are taught by my third uncle, and she will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in the future. If that's the case, third uncle, please?"

Zhao Chenghuan also smiled: "My niece is so virtuous, she will definitely be liked by my niece and son-in-law in the future."

Before she got engaged, Zhao Chenghuan kept talking about her niece and son-in-law who had no shadow.Zhao Jinyi suspected that the demotion of his third uncle was probably related to his way of speaking.

In any case, the uncles and nephews who harbored evil intentions reached an agreement and walked towards the kitchen together.

There is still a fire in the kitchen, preparing for the gentlemen's supper.Although the young men of the Zhao family are not good at studying, they are not inferior to others when it comes to food.

Zhang Sanniang, wife of Guanshi Hu, is on duty tonight.When Zhao Chenghuan and Zhao Jinyi entered, she was instructing the cook to serve wontons.

Seeing the mismatched couple enter the door, Zhang Sanniang was so surprised that she could stuff a duck egg into her mouth.Although the Zhao family had always been harmonious, it was unprecedented for the uncle and niece to enter the kitchen together!She hurried to the door to greet her: "Third Master, Fourth Miss."

Zhao Chenghuan nodded: "Aunt Zhang, the fourth girl said that she wants to cook old hen soup for the old man, so you can give her a stove."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead into the kitchen room, sat down at the long table in the kitchen room, took out his handkerchief, wiped the raindrops from his face, and ordered, "Bring me a bowl of wontons too."

Zhang Sanniang glanced at Zhao Jinyi.The fourth girl had only entered the kitchen two days ago and made a... dim sum with ulterior motives.Today, the fourth girl is going to cook again, making chicken soup for the old man?The fourth girl is addicted to cooking?

Zhao Jinyi is now on the verge of riding a tiger.She followed Zhao Chenghuan into the kitchen, and smiled at Zhang Sanniang: "Aunt Zhang, is there any old hen that has been killed?"

But Zhao Chenghuan said from the side: "According to Uncle Third's experience, the soup made from freshly slaughtered old hens is the best. Aunt Zhang, how about this, you take Miss Four to the hen house, Pick the biggest and oldest hen.” The Zhao family has a large population, so in order to eat at ease and save some money, the eldest wife Huang ordered people to build a hen house in the side yard, where many chickens were raised.

The third uncle seemed to be very serious about making her cook chicken soup.

The third uncle was really willing to let a cute little girl from an official's family pick out old hens in the smelly henhouse.

Zhao Jinyi was originally unwilling.Just as she was about to refute, a servant happened to bring a bowl of wonton to Zhao Chenghuan.Zhao Chenghuan turned his head away, a smug look flashed across his face.

Zhao Jinyi had a thought, and suddenly responded crisply: "The third uncle is right. Aunt Zhang, please lead the way."

She was about to cross the threshold when Zhao Chenghuan said again: "From the second Chen's family, you two follow the fourth girl, don't call those blind chickens and peck the fourth girl." Chen Er's family is Zhao Chenghuan One of the two strong servants beside her.

Heh, Third Uncle deliberately made life difficult for himself tonight.

Zhao Jinyi took the lantern from Mei Ran and urged Zhang Sanniang: "Aunt Zhang, you lead the way."

At this time, Zhang Sanniang was already confused.But the fourth girl took the initiative to lead the way, and she naturally followed out with kindness.It's better to follow the fourth girl to the hen house to catch chickens than to serve the third master in the kitchen.

Zhao Jinyi carried the lantern by himself and headed towards the side courtyard.

From time to time, she urged Mei Ran and Ya Qing: "Go faster, go faster."

The three little girls walked lightly, and together with Zhang Sanniang, holding an umbrella, they walked quickly to the courtyard.

Although the third master ordered Chen Er's family to keep an eye on the fourth girl, who would have thought that the fourth girl was the most favored in the Zhao family, so she didn't dare to get too close, and only followed Zhao Jinyi from a distance and others.

Zhao Jinyi and the others were talking in low voices from time to time while they were on their way.A few times it actually made Zhang Sanniang laugh too.

The second Chen's family thought that these four girls could still hang out with the maidservants, and their tempers were not bad.

To get to the side courtyard, you have to go through two hanging flower doors, through a veranda, and a small garden.A group of people hurried through the first hanging flower door, passed through the veranda, and arrived at the second hanging flower door.But at this moment, Mei Ran yelled: "Girl! Can you slow down, the road is slippery in this rainy day, and the slave's foot is twisted!"

Zhao Jinyi stopped, very unhappy: "Why did you twist your foot? What a disappointment!"

Chen Er's family thought to themselves, the tempers of these four girls can change as they say, which is really hard to figure out.

Mei Ran didn't dare to retort, she just knelt down and rubbed her feet: "Miss Si, the servant is wrong."

Zhao Jinyi resignedly stuffed the lantern in his hand to Yaqing, and knelt down to look at Meiran's foot: "It's just twisted, you go back and find some medicinal wine to wipe it on yourself, and you don't have to follow me tonight."

Mei Ran responded, Zhao Jinyi stood up again, carried the lantern as usual, leaving Mei Ran behind, and left with Zhang Sanniang and Ya Qing.

The third master ordered, just look at Zhao Jinyi.For the little maid who had sprained her foot and was rubbing her foot pitifully with her head down, the Second Chen's family didn't take a second look.

The figures of Chen Er's family and others disappeared into the garden, and the little maid who lowered her head and rubbed her feet stood up, limped pitifully, walked for a while, walked around the hanging flower gate, and suddenly ran quickly stand up.

She went straight to Tai'an Hospital all the way.
