Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 357
Therefore, considering various reasons, between Lin Xiaoqiao and Hu's mother, Widow Zheng would naturally favor Lin Xiaoqiao.

In fact, it is completely in line with common sense that Widow Zheng can make such a choice. On the one hand, the relationship between master and servant that has been gradually forgotten for more than ten years, and on the other hand, the family relationship that has been getting along for many years, has become more and more profound. Anyone who chooses will know how to do it. to choose.

"Mother Hu, you should be troubled. I haven't eaten cakes from the capital for many years, and I'm really a bit greedy by you!" Widow Zheng said to Mother Hu again.

Widow Zheng was able to say this because she wanted to preserve a bit of dignity for Mother Hu. After all, she was the nanny who raised her since she was a child. Widow Zheng couldn't bear to think that she would have to work hard later.

At this point, Mother Hu has no choice but to droop her face and answer: "Yes, ma'am, this old servant will do it now."

Lin Xiaoqiao stopped Mama Hu who turned around and was about to leave: "Mama Hu, good things should be shared with everyone. Our family is not too big. You can make three or four plates of each pastry. It really makes you Tired!"

Lin Xiaoqiao smiled harmlessly, but Hu's mother had already gritted her silver teeth and gave her a bitter look before walking out angrily.

Looking at the back of Mama Hu before she walked out of the room, Lin Xiaoqiao glanced at the girl Xia Ju who seemed to be unbearable, and said kindly: "Sister Xia Ju, why don't you go and help Mama Hu, I'm afraid she One person is too busy."

"No need, I can do it by myself, Xia Ju should stay here to serve Madam." After hearing this, Mother Hu quickly turned around and refused.

She only has such a daughter in all. In such hot weather, how could she be willing to let her daughter follow her to the kitchen to suffer.

Of course, Lin Xiaoqiao understood her mother's heart, but today she was saving her mind to teach Hu's mother a lesson, so how could she get what she wanted.

It's just making a few pastries. Although it's a bit difficult in such a hot day, nothing major will happen after all.

"Mother Hu is getting old, sister Xia Ju should go and help, it's always okay to beat her up." Lin Xiaoqiao continued.

After Xia Ju heard this, she looked at Widow Zheng silently. Widow Zheng was secretly amused. Help, it can be better.

So she nodded: "Go."

After hearing what Widow Zheng said, Xia Ju turned around and followed Mama Hu and walked out, her face still dull and expressionless.

"Mother Hu, my kitchen is full of all kinds of ingredients. Osmanthus fragrans, roses, etc. are all pickled in small jars. If you can't find them, ask Aunt Lu. She knows where. If there are any ingredients If you don’t have anything, tell Aunt Lu to buy it now, I’m looking forward to it today, this authentic Beijing-style cake!” Lin Xiaoqiao yelled at the back of Mother Hu, mother and daughter.

When Mother Hu heard this, she paused, and after a while, she went to the kitchen angrily without looking back.

Lin Xiaoqiao hooked her small head and followed the departure of Mother Hu and her daughter. The smile on the corner of her mouth grew stronger. Widow Zheng saw the little girl's wicked smile, so she couldn't help raising her hand, gently He patted her on the forehead and said angrily, "You girl, you really are!"

Lin Xiaoqiao pouted, leaned on Widow Zheng's body, and said coquettishly, "Aunt Zheng, don't be angry."

Widow Zheng sighed, and said helplessly, "Mother Hu did too much. Auntie knows that you have no bad intentions."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao became more and more complacent, and played backgammon with Widow Zheng, and stayed in her room for nearly a day.

And Mother Hu came to the kitchen angrily with Xia Ju, and scolded Lin Xiaoqiao countless times along the way, looking up at the scorching sun, she couldn't help muttering: "This damn weather, how many times do you walk?" I'm sweating every step, making so many pastries, my old bones are still exhausted! I'm so vicious at such a young age, I really don't know how my parents raised me."

But now that Widow Zheng has already spoken, and Lin Xiaoqiao has blocked her escape route, even if Hu's mother doesn't want to, she can only do so.

At the door of the kitchen, Mother Hu raised her hand and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she still couldn't help shaking the handkerchief angrily, and muttered in a low voice: "Hmph! No matter what, I must find a way to get Madam to retreat. After losing this family relationship, let's see how you, little girl, will still be shy!"

Looking up and seeing Aunt Lu suddenly, Mama Hu's eyes lit up immediately, as if she saw a savior, she went up to meet her with a smile, held Aunt Lu's hand, and said kindly: "Sister, you are here too. Just as my wife ordered I want to eat a few pastries from the capital, but I am too busy alone, so my sister can help me."

Mother Hu's smile was amiable, completely opposite to the domineering attitude before. If it was common sense, Aunt Lu must have shrugged it off embarrassingly.

After all, not to mention the smile on Mama Hu's face, it's hard to resist, just say that Aunt Lu was supposed to be in charge of the kitchen, so she naturally had to help in making pastries.

However, Lin Xiaoqiao had already gotten angry with Aunt Lu, and asked Aunt Lu not to help, so this time, Aunt Lu clearly refused according to her own lady's wishes: "Old sister, I'm a rough woman, and I usually I have never made pastries in Li. Besides, I have very little experience, not to mention that I have never been to the capital, and I have never even been to Anping Town. My old sister wants to make pastries with the taste of the capital. How dare I intervene! I'm a thick-handed and thick-footed person, so don't be a disservice to me then."

Aunt Lu refused very simply, and she had very good reasons for her refusal. When Mother Hu heard these words, her face drooped.

What else can I do?I had to do it myself, Mama Hu kept a straight face, and started tossing in the kitchen, buttoning this bag, picking that jar, anyone with long eyes could see her anger at this moment.

Because Aunt Lu had been instructed by Lin Xiaoqiao before, she always followed Mama Hu's side, and whenever she acted a little rough, she would step forward to remind her.

"Mother Hu, this is flour. The bag is not very strong, so don't pull it so hard."

"Mother Hu, this is a jar for honey, you can't use such force, it will be bad if you accidentally break it."

"Old sister, you have to be gentle. This is a jar for pickling sweet-scented osmanthus. There is only one jar. It was pickled by our second lady herself."
