delicious little cook

Chapter 60
"How did you do it?"

"Actually, Mengmei showed her tricks and was caught by the sisters in the same courtyard. She slipped out in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with Mr. Wen. The door of the room was open, and the courtyard door was also open. The girl who got up at night felt strange, thinking that she had left the door open when she slept. , I took a light to see that she wasn't there at all."

"and then?"

"The sisters in the same courtyard were all woken up, and they first locked the courtyard door to sleep. Mengmei came back and found that she couldn't enter the door, so she stayed up all night in the East Kitchen, pretending to get up early to practice cooking, and deceived a group of people."

"Tch, the young girl is really thick-skinned."

"During the lunch break at noon, there was a commotion in the yard. Mengmei only cared about her own pleasure and ignored everyone's reputation and innocence. Everyone was so angry that she wanted to bring her to the lady to sue and return everyone's innocence. She was afraid, and begged everyone to let her go, so the condition for letting her go was that she and her lover had a clear road and moved to her lover's yard, otherwise she would go out every day in the middle of the night, who could bear it, in case Someday a man sneaks in?"

"That's right, for the sake of the reputation of the sisters in the same hospital, that Mengmei really can't stay with her." Meihuan nodded in agreement.

"Then she is Wen Gushan's outer room now, so you should keep it a secret and never mention it again? But you have revealed everything now." Meilun found out something was wrong.

"I promised not to sue in front of the eldest lady, but I didn't tell them that the third young master knew about this scandal long ago. I told the third young master and you two, how did you violate the agreement?"

Mei Lun Mei Huan burst out laughing, and understood Bai Kou's meaning.

"Yes, we've been insiders for a long time. You told us that you didn't violate the agreement at all. As for whether the third young master wants the eldest lady to talk about it, it's not part of the agreement at all."

"They slandered me with such vicious rumors before, and I was just reciprocating."

"Is there evidence related to Wengu Mountain?"

"The mother's biggest worry is that the girl will seduce the young master. If I ignore the rumors about the East kitchen, if the lady hears out-of-character rumors from others in the future, even if there is no evidence, I will definitely be finished. And can Only Wen Gushan, who is most familiar with the rules of the inner house, can directly hit the lady's weakness so accurately, and he is the one who has the right to move around inside and outside the house."

"That's right, Madam is most worried about the girl seducing the young master."

After listening to Bai Kou's words, Meilun Meihuan's mood sank again in an instant.

"The two elder sisters are happy and worried for a while. What is the problem? If you can't solve it, just tell the third young master. You two are his most capable big girls. With the support of the master, you have nothing to worry about." Bai Kou felt helpless with the ever-changing emotions of the two sisters.

"The third young master can't help you with this matter, it's a housework." Meilun forced a smile, shook her head and replied politely.

"Oh. But judging by your looks, it's probably not a funeral, right? Apart from this, is there anything else we can't talk about together? Otherwise, I'll ask the girls later, and I'll know what other visitors there are today."

"Bai Kou, don't ask any more questions."

"The Sixth Young Master is already enough to make people get angry. If the two elder sisters lose concentration because of troublesome housework, the Third Young Master will be angry."

"Actually, it's not a difficult matter that can't be said, it's just that the family is planning to arrange a marriage for my sister." Meihuan put down her powder puff, and said in a broken tone.

"Marriage? You two are crying like this. Is there something wrong with this marriage? Do you want Sister Meilun to marry the old man?"

Bai Kou swore that she was really just making a random guess based on her previous life experience, but when she saw Meilun's expression about to cry again, she quickly shut her mouth in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Meilun restrained herself this time, took a few deep breaths to stabilize her emotions, opened the drawer of makeup, took out lip balm and began to apply.

Meihuan picked out two hairpins for her sister to insert, and the two sisters stopped talking.

"Let me tell you, two sisters, the masters must observe filial piety for a day, but the servants don't have to follow suit. You are old people who have accompanied the third young master to observe filial piety for three years. This is a great achievement, right?"

Meilun painted her lower lip with her fingers stained with lip balm, then turned her face and nodded slightly, "So what?"

"You are descended from generation to generation, right?"

Meihuan raised her eyelids and gave a gruff "hmm".

"That's all I'm saying, sisters just listen to it for the time being. Sister Meilun cried like this after receiving the news from her family, obviously she is not happy about this marriage, and the third young master doesn't seem to want you to be housewives, either. You can't be ashamed to seduce the young master, since there is no way out on the young master's side, it seems that sister Meilun can only marry according to the arrangement of the family."

"If there is another way, Bai Kou, just say it." Meihuan supported her sister's shoulders with both hands, staring at Bai Kou nervously.

"Since you have the credit of keeping filial piety with the master, and you have children for generations, and you have served the third young master for many years, why don't you just ask the third young master for a favor, give you good documents, and go out to marry common people? It's better than marrying a commoner. The crooked melons and bad dates in the mansion are strong, right?"

Mei Lun and Mei Huan were dumbfounded, the lip balm jar in Mei Lun's hand fell onto her lap, and Mei Huan could clearly feel her sister's trembling in her hand.

Bai Kou didn't stay any longer, she left half of the plate of fruit on the table, and only took the empty water bottle away.

In the small kitchen, Bai Kou laid out the ingredients for snacks and dinner on the table. The whole beef tenderloin seemed to have the desire to be a knife. It should be washed and cut. Two stoves, one pot of marinade Juice, one boiled sago and then made sago fruit juice.

The marinade is used to make sesame bean curd rolls. This can be used as a late-night snack or as a cold dish. Use the remaining marinade to save it for next time, and it will slowly become old marinade.

While the stove was simmering slowly, Bai Kou asked Aunt Su to knead the dough for her, worrying about the wound on her hand. The girls thought it was strange, but after questioning, they were all shocked when they found out the reason, and then they felt the pleasure of revenge .

As for any work that requires direct contact with the ingredients with both hands, Bai Kou will let Aunt Su do it for her. Aunt Su was married and had children before, so she has a sense of scale when doing things under the stove. She helps Bai Kou cut beef and vegetables, and prepare stuffing material.

After Bai Kou waited for her to finish, she removed the boiled sago, poured oil into the pan and stir-fried the beef, then mixed it with vegetables to make stuffing, and instructed the maids to make beef pot stickers. cook.

The rest of the beef will be reserved for breakfast steak tomorrow morning, and the rest will be divided into two, half of which will be made of toothpick beef and half of which will be steamed beef with flour. Today's meat dishes are all beef. The menu set by the third young master himself yesterday When Kou prepared the ingredients, he deliberately included the sixth young master's share. If the two brothers had a meal together and guaranteed enough food, if the sixth young master didn't come, they would have to support the third young master to death.
