Chapter 27 Taro Crispy New Pouch

"Little girl, where are the people in the kitchen?" I saw a woman entering the kitchen courtyard. She had a pair of big eyes on her duck-egg face, a cherry mouth and willow-leaf eyebrows. She had fair skin and a little flesh on her body. Although she didn't say much, she looked at her. She looks very cheerful and lively. She looks to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. She looks like she is a young lady, but I don’t know whose family she is from.

"What do you want, sister? The cooks have all gone to take a lunch break. If sister is anxious, I will call you right away," the poor man said as he put away the book in his hand.

"It's not an important matter. If you see the manager, please tell me. I want to use the kitchen tonight to cook some food with my two nephews."

"Yes, I just don't know who should use the kitchen?" asked Pao'er.

"I am Kan Lianrong, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Kan." This Miss Kan Lianrong was engaged to her uncle Fang's family years ago. They will get married as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over this year. Today, Mr. Kan and his family are visiting, and the second wife is also here to see Miss Kan. She liked her so much that her family had already gone home, and the second lady insisted on keeping her for a few more days, so Miss Kan stayed and lived with the second lady in the north courtyard. Today, she and the second lady The young master mentioned that the homemade taro cakes were delicious. Who knew that the two young gentlemen were aware of their greediness and had to pester her to make them. Therefore, she wanted to use the kitchen after dinner to make some snacks for the two young gentlemen. eat

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely bring the message to you." The pauper arrived
"Thank you so much." Miss Kan glanced at the book in the poor boy's hand and asked, "What book are you reading?"

The pauper handed her the book in his hand. The book was the "Sea Classics and Overseas Classics" of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". However, the books given to her by Master Sanyang were really torn and incomplete.

"Oh! You are reading "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", have you read it all? I also like this book very much. It is full of strange things, astronomy and geography," Miss Kan said
"To my sister, I have not read them all. I only have a few volumes here, but I don't have the rest of them."

"Well... I know where to find a complete one. If you like, I can lend it to you some other time."

"Thank you so much, sister," the poor man hurriedly bowed and thanked her.

Just after dinner time, the third lady returned home from Dabaiyun Temple. She was supposed to arrive home at ten o'clock in the evening. Unexpectedly, her wheels got stuck in a mud pit on the way. It took a lot of trouble to get back. At this time, she was already very hungry. Yun'er hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but came back disappointed.

"Master, the kitchen said I didn't know you were coming back today and didn't prepare your meal."

"Then tell them to do it now"

"They said they can't enter the kitchen right now." Yun'er arrived.
"What do you mean you can't enter the kitchen? What's wrong with the kitchen? Could it be that the Jade Emperor descended into the world and went to the kitchen?" The third lady was annoyed again.

"She said Miss Kan was using it, and ordered outsiders not to enter."

"Which Miss Kan?" The third lady thought for a long time. "Is she the granddaughter of Prime Minister Kan? What is she doing here?"

"Have you forgotten, Master? Years ago, Miss Kan was engaged to the Second Madam's brother. They were about to get married in a few months. When I heard that Prime Minister Kan and his family were visiting today, the Second Madam kept Miss Kan here. I want to ask her to stay for a few more days."

"I'll just stay here. What's she doing in the kitchen like a wealthy lady?" asked the third lady.
"I want to make some food for the two young masters."

"Really?" The third lady pondered for a long time without saying anything, seeming to be thinking about something in her heart.

"Where do you put the things that Master Tai brought?" asked the third lady
Yun'er took out a brocade box and two porcelain vases, "I just came back and went to the kitchen before I had time to put them away"

"Then don't accept it. Just take a bottle and intercede with Miss Kan. Just say that I'm so hungry that I beg her to allow you to share a stove with me to cook a bowl of noodles." The third lady didn't even feel angry. It's abnormal to be so groveling
Yun'er already understood this in her heart. After all, she had been following her since she was a child. How could she not understand her thoughts?

Yun'er hurriedly went to the kitchen, and the third lady went to the yard to enjoy the cool air. Suddenly, she saw two brothers, Cheng and Chengzhe, walking by in front of the door.

"Chenghe" the third lady shouted
Seeing that the third lady called him, Chenghe brought Chengzhe into the courtyard and greeted him with courtesy.

"What do you two brothers usually do? I haven't seen you for a long time." The third lady arrived

"Back to my third aunt, my brother is very busy studying literature and martial arts on weekdays, and I'm new to the school, so I don't have time to visit my aunt." Chengzhe arrived
"Hey! My son..." The third lady said and saw that both brothers were wearing new purses around their waists, so she reached out and took Chengzhe's to look at. "This purse is really exquisitely made, and the needlework of this apricot is getting better and better." It’s ready!”

"Aunt Hui, this purse was made by my aunt's hands for the two brothers, not by Xiang Xing. It contains the amulets that my aunt asked Zen Master Jingkong to bless when she went to Lingjiu Temple a few days ago. It can keep my brother safe and healthy.”

"Oh? Are they both?"

"Exactly" Chenghe replied. Seeing that the third lady liked it, he took off his own and handed it to her for her to watch.
The third lady held two purses in her hands and looked at them again and again, and suddenly she had a plan in her heart: "I came back this time with roses and lychees that are only available in Baiyun Temple. You go and sit in the room, and I will ask the girl to chill them." Bring the good ones for you to eat.”

After hearing the words, the two young masters went into the main room to wait. The third lady asked the girl to go to the ice room to get lychees. Seeing no one in the courtyard, the third lady hurriedly went into her room and took two things from the brocade box and put them in the second lady's house. In the purse of this son...

Yun'er returned to the kitchen again. Seeing that the kitchen door was closed, she went up to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened, and Miss Kan only showed her head and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yun'er saluted, "Greetings to Miss Kan! My wife came back late today and is very hungry now. She wanted to ask the cook to make something to eat. They said you were using the kitchen and didn't call me."

"That's right!" Ms. Kan said, "My taro cake is my original creation, how can I let others see it? If someone learns it, when will I show it off to others in the future?"

"Do you think this is good, girl? Don't ask the cooks to go, just let me in. I don't care about you. I'll just give my wife a bowl of plain noodles and leave." Yun'er arrived
"This……"

"Oh! Girl, just do it! My wife has always been weak. What should I do if she is hungry and something goes wrong?"

"Okay! Come in and go after cooking the noodles. Don't look at me." Miss Kan arrived

Yun'er thanked you again and went into the kitchen to make noodles
The two of them were working happily in the kitchen. Yun'er lit a fire and boiled the water. While the water was boiling, he poured a cup of tea for Miss Kan.

After half a stick of incense, the water was boiled, and Yun'er didn't mention it below. Miss Kan suddenly felt a abdominal pain, which healed up in a while. The work in hand went to the hut, and when she came back, Yun'er had already finished it and left with plain face...
