delicious little cook

Chapter 54 Let's Be a Witness Together

After dinner, Gu Yun took the checklist and went to Jichengtang to find his parents. The money for building the oven came from the private account of the long house, so naturally the follow-up expenses would have to continue to be paid from here, not taking a single cent of the company's money. .

The eldest lady felt dizzy looking at the detailed list, and she reacted like her son, "Is it necessary?"

"Bai Kou said that these are just the basics for cooking, and she hasn't written anything about making dim sum yet."

The eldest lady handed over the list to Mama Pang who was standing beside her, "When your oven is ready to use, I must try her cooking."

Gu Yun thanked his mother with a smile on his face, and went to Rong En Hall with a skip.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, Mengmei quietly opened the door in the small courtyard of the third-class cook in the East Kitchen, carefully went outside each door to listen to the movement inside, and only when she saw that everyone was indeed fast asleep did she tiptoe around. He went to pull down the latch of the courtyard door and went to Wengu Mountain.

Hearing the sound of the latch falling to the ground, Lu Doudou, who was lying on the bed struggling with drowsiness, struggled to sit up, patted her cheeks with her hands to wake herself up, then put on her shoes and got off the ground, lit the candlestick on the table, held it in the hands, pretending to get up at night and open the door to go out.

Lu Doudou went to the courtyard gate first, and saw that the door was slightly open, so she went out sideways and went straight to the fork in the road outside, but there was no movement at all.

Then she turned back and pushed open the door of Mengmei's room. When the light came on, there was no one in the room, and the thin quilt was still piled up on the bed in a mess.

The corner of Lu Doudou's mouth curled into a schadenfreude smile, quietly exited the room and closed the door, leaving a gap, and turned to knock on Hong Su's door.

Hong Su slept soundly, was awakened by the knock on the door, and answered vaguely, "Who is it?"

"Hongsu, are you the last one to sleep tonight?"

"No, I'm already asleep."

"Oh, that's all right, you can continue to sleep."

Lu Doudou left immediately, and then knocked on Wanqiu's door, waking her up too.

Hong Su heard that it was Lu Doudou's voice. Turning over, she was about to sleep when a string in her mind suddenly tightened. Feeling that something was wrong, she sat up strongly, lit the candlestick, and went out with her clothes on.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong? You don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

Lu Doudou had already talked to Wan Qiu, and she was standing in front of Mengmei's door again and knocking on the door.

"What's the matter?" Hong Su asked persistently.

"I just woke up at night and found the courtyard door was open. I wondered if the last person who slept had not latched the courtyard door."

"Isn't it? Just for this matter?"

Hong Su couldn't help rolling her eyes, thinking that Lu Doudou was making a big fuss, and was about to turn around and enter the room, but saw Lu Doudou standing outside Mengmei's door with a strange expression on her face.

"Huh? Mengmei doesn't close the door when she sleeps?"

Lu Doudou pretended to hold up the candlestick, gently pushed the door open with one hand, looked around the room, and suddenly became louder.

"Where's Mengmei?!"

Hong Su was startled, and came over to check. She also went into the room and lifted the quilt on the bed. Of course, there was no one on the bed.

Lu Doudou followed into the room and saw the empty bed, the two girls looked at each other, Hong Su naturally thought of the open courtyard door, and her face turned pale.

"Let's go and lock the courtyard door!"

The two hurried to the gate of the courtyard. Lu Doudou held the candlestick in both hands, watching Hong Su close and re-bolt the gate.

"What about Mengmei? What if she comes back?"

"What does she do? She has the face to go out, and we don't care if she has the face to come back? What about our face? Who cares about us?" Hong Su scolded angrily.

"Whose face?"

Holding the lamp and rubbing her eyes, Wan Qiu came over suddenly.

"What are you two talking about when you don't sleep?"

"It's nothing, you go back to sleep, we are up at night."

"Wake up at night or do house rounds?"

Behind Wan Qiu, Mrs. Qian came out holding a lamp, with a ambiguous smile on her face.

"Why is there no one in Mengmei's room? Where did she go in the middle of the night?"

"What? Mengmei didn't sleep in the room?" Wan Qiu was taken aback, Hong Su and Lu Doudou looked embarrassed.

"This is interesting. I've heard that Mengmei's little girl, Sichun, seems to have found a lover."

Sister-in-law Qian giggled, walked towards Xiulan, and knocked on the door vigorously.

"Sister Xiulan, wake up, our courtyard is buzzing!"

After a while, the lights in Xiulan's room came on, and then the door opened, Xiulan yawned, and walked out in cloaked clothes.

"What's the fun?"

"Mengmei's lover has gone."

"Oh. Ah!?" Xiulan was startled suddenly and woke up.

"She's not in the room, the courtyard door is open, I don't know where she went." Sister Qian gloated and laughed non-stop.

Xiulan was also happy, and ran into Mengmei's room, and came out laughing.

"Oh, this is ridiculous. She thinks she is the number one in the third-class kitchen. Let's see how she has the face to order us to work tomorrow."

"Doudou, Wanqiu, Hongsu, Bai Kou, a talent among you newcomers, is quite attractive to you. Our old chef is jealous, but we recognize her strength. After all, her purse tofu dish was killed on the spot after the competition." It's her ability to put it on the menu. Seeing her face, although we usually talk to you with pricks and take advantage of our mouths, we didn't insult you, right? It's a pity, this face, tonight Let this shameless Mengmei lose all."

Sister-in-law Qian came over with a lantern, watched the three little girls and said a few truthful words.

"It's a shame, I almost lost my innocence! Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise, if a man passed by and saw the courtyard door open and touched in, who would we women complain about!? Mengmei can go to meet her lover, other men You can come in and play wild! She is shameless, and I want more!" Xiulan stomped her feet and cursed excitedly.

"Sister Xiulan, please keep your voice down, don't wake up the people in the next yard."

Hong Su took a few steps forward, begging in a low voice.

Sister-in-law Qian also pulled Xiulan a little, and finally told her to shut up.

"What Hong Su said is that Mengmei is shameless, we have to have face, and it is not appropriate to let others know by shouting loudly, otherwise the reputation of us will be blackened. I have a man and a child, and I have to do it for them. Think about it."

"The Qian family, do you mean to swallow this breath? Pretend not to know?" Xiulan said through gritted teeth.

"If it's not like this, we'll keep it secret to the outside world, but internally, the three of us will never ask any matter how the two sisters find Mengmei to vent their anger. We just want to keep our reputation and innocence. We don't want to be like her." Lu Doudou led Wan Qiu came over and begged.

"Second sisters, please." Hong Su bowed again and again.

Xiulan and Sister-in-Law Qian looked at each other for a while, and after gloating at their misfortune, now that they calmed down, they really wanted to consider their own interests.
