Seeking peace and long comment, Lizhong——

Come back, folks!

-----------------------------------

Mo Zi walked into the kitchen compound.

Leaving aside Zhang's mother and son and the small kitchen in the Sanniang Courtyard, all the food for the Qiu family comes from here, which shows how busy they are.The biggest one in this courtyard is Mrs. Liu, who has served the Qiu family for more than [-] years, and her ancestors once stayed in the emperor's kitchen.Therefore, although Mrs. Liu was loyal to the deceased eldest wife, Qiu Sanniang's biological mother, and had some quarrels with Mrs. Zhang, her irreplaceable cooking skills forced Mrs. Zhang to swallow her anger.

The single Mrs. Liu adopted her parents' Bai He as her daughter-in-law, and taught her all her cooking skills.And the kind-hearted Bai He is also filial to Mrs. Liu's mother-in-law.Today, Bai He's craftsmanship is on par with Granny Liu's, but she still comes here whenever she is free.It is said to be learning art, but in fact it is just helping the elderly in their 50s.

Without going into the kitchen, Mo Zi saw Bai He busy by the well.

"I thought you learned some good dishes again, and you started to work as a little girl. Later, I told Luju that she must say, if you wash the vegetables, you might as well guard the door for her."

Bai He raised her head, the sunlight reflected in the basin made her face look like a silver plate, her facial features were gentle and demure, and her personality was well-behaved.There is a small mole on the side of the mouth, and she smiles pretty.

"Mo Zi? When you come out, who will serve the girl?" Bai He is also a person who is dedicated to Qiu Sanniang.

Qiu Sanniang is considered lucky to have such a loyal maid.However, Mo Zi didn't count herself in.At best, she is working for Qiu Sanniang, receiving a monthly salary to do things for others, and adhering to the professional ethics of hello and me.

"Miss took Luju to Jiu Niu's courtyard, and asked me to come and find you." Mo Zi answered firmly.

"Oh." Bai He didn't ask anything first, she picked up the vegetables and put them into the rattan basket, brushed her hands over the white cloth clothes covered in the spring skirt, picked up the basket, and walked in while talking, "Wait I'll take a moment."

"I'll wait for you outside the courtyard." Mo Zi thought there were too many people here.

Bai He went to the kitchen to put down the dishes, picked up a white porcelain soup cup just out of the pot, and took an orchid bowl, put it on a mahogany tray, went out the small door, and walked into the godmother's room.

Mrs. Liu has been unwell for the past two days and has been resting in the room.

"Godmother, I steamed a cup of crucian carp clear soup, drink it while it's hot. The girl called me, I have to go back first. I wanted to help you, but there are only four of us in front of the girl." Bai He poured out A bowl of tofu white soup was blown warm, and I handed it to the half-lying godmother, "When the banquet is over, I will tell the girl to come and take care of you."

"I've been lying down for two days, and I'm much better." The fish soup is delicious, and the daughter's cooking skills are superb, and Mrs. Liu is pleased, "You take care of yourself, take care of the third girl with all your heart, and don't worry about me."

Bai He poured out another bowl of fish soup with open hand, and put it in the hands of the godmother, "Fish soup is the fastest to heal the body and cure the disease. You have to finish it, and don't leave a drop." As delicate as a little girl.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Liu couldn't resist.

"Then I'll come as soon as I go." Bai He walked out of the room, called a little girl, and gave her detailed instructions, so she felt relieved.

He carried the three-layer red lacquer food box out of the courtyard, but there was no ink and purple figure.Thinking that it was impossible for her to leave first, Bai He searched around for a while.Sure enough, at the base of a secluded wall, I saw Mo Zi sitting on a flower platform, and a [-]-year-old girl was whispering to her.

Bai He wanted to walk over, but found that the little girl was Mrs. An's granddaughter Xiao Hua, so she stood where she was.

I don't know what method Mo Zi used to win over, but the little girl often came to report the news from the main courtyard.

When Mo Zi mentioned it to the girl, Bai He didn't take it seriously because she thought that a little girl could be of some use.

But Mo Zi said, Xiaohua's grandparents are the confidantes of Zhang's mother and son, and her parents are also in charge of the real power in the mansion, and she is a xx-year-old girl, who will pay attention to where she is playing crazy?

At this time, Xiao Hua finished speaking, she looked at Mo Zi with dark eyes, and stretched out her little hand.

Mo Zi took something out of her sleeve and put it on Xiao Hua's palm.

Bai He was wondering what it was, but saw that thing suddenly flew up.Under the sun, a butterfly with a black gold tassel flaps its beautiful wings.She couldn't figure out how to hide the living thing in Mozi's sleeve, and when she looked closely, the butterfly was on Xiaohua's hand.It seemed that what she saw just now was just an illusion.

Xiaohua let out a wow, and gently lifted the tip of the butterfly's wing with both hands, almost touching the tip of her nose.

Then, Mo Zi said something.

Xiao Hua nodded again and again, carefully put the butterfly into her sleeve, and bounced away.

Mo Zi stood up, raised her eyes and saw Bai He who was so focused that she frowned slightly.A child is innocent and evil, and she won't think of complicated places from a moving butterfly, but she doesn't want others to see it.

"What?" Mo Zi asked after making up his mind and approaching Bai He.

Bai He pulled Mo Zi's sleeve, raised it up to look in, "Let me see, what else is in your sleeve? Little rabbit? Little bird? You actually turned into a living butterfly."

Mo Zi's vigilance was relieved by Bai He's rare playfulness, and she rolled up her sleeves, "Fuck you. Tomorrow, I will go find a rabbit to catch a bird, put it in your sleeve, and see how you dance around."

"But I saw with my own eyes that you squeezed a butterfly out of your sleeve and spread its wings." Bai He was really confused.

"Two pieces of veneer are clamped together, painted in the shape of a butterfly, to coax the little flower to play. You can only see it as a real butterfly when you stand far away." Mo Zi said simply.In fact, she cuts fir into paper-thin wood chips, adopts modern splicing methods, and uses the principle of axis drive to make the light model spread its wings in the wind.How can we not confuse the real with the fake?

"Made of wood?" Bai He suddenly realized when she heard it, thinking that she had indeed stood far away, and it made sense to take it as a reality, "It turns out that you are not only good at carpentry, but also good at painting."

"That's called coloring. What kind of drawing skills do you need? Green Chrysanthemum's embroidery skills are very good. Last time she embroidered butterflies on a handkerchief, which attracted real butterflies." , from rotten wood to lifelike, even she herself was surprised by the effect.If she stays with Qiu Sanniang who manages silk, tea and rice all her life, as I said before, it probably won't be of much use.But for some reason, she was naturally relieved.

These days are not the best.The whole family is scheming against each other, plotting against each other, and secretly competing with each other regardless of whether they are relatives or concubines.Because of the dissolute behavior of the male masters, there are also many unscrupulous servants and servants in the mansion. Following the trend, they all compete for the top.So much so that Mo Zi had to rack her brains to put a gray tone on herself, not to show up in everything, to avoid the poisonous eyes of snakes and scorpions.Fortunately, there is Qiu Sanniang.This Miss Master is on the cusp of the Qiu family, attracting all the eyes with ulterior motives, allowing her to fully practice the theory that the most dangerous is the safest.

"That's not true. The girl complimented her, so she made her beautiful." Bai He asked Mo Zi to take her away without noticing, "The girl asked me to go back because of tonight's banquet? The kitchen is so busy. I'm a mother." But most of the time, she will be asked to do the cooking herself. There is a full vegetarian banquet, except for her old man, who has the ability to prepare it?"

Mo Zi's heart skipped a beat: The nobles in Shangdu eat vegetarian food?
