The cook is very busy

Chapter 32

The magpie took a bite, and the steamed bun was filled with fat meat, which was sweet and soft, sweet and greasy with a little saltiness, and the oil and water were also called white noodles to absorb.

She was starving, and she didn't care about other things, so she let go after a few excuses, and told Ziqing where to eat, and it happened that a servant wanted to deliver something to the Fourth Young Master, so she could go with him.

Ziqing picked up the food box and went out. Seeing that the servant was holding a delicate wooden box, looking at him instead of a magpie, he felt a little puzzled.

She simply said a few words, the servant closed his eyes and didn't dare to look into their garden, just turned around and left.

Ziqing followed him, keeping a certain distance, they walked through another veranda, Ziqing came here for the first time today, seeing everything was new, so he couldn't help but look around a few times.

It's just that after turning a few corners, there are few courtyards, only one more than one garden, each scene is better than another, and the more you go, the more you go.

If it hadn't been for what Magpie had said earlier, Fourth Young Master Xi Jing, his Zhuwan lived in the west side of the mansion, which was the most secluded courtyard, she really wouldn't have dared to follow him all the way down.

After going down a few steps, I entered the opposite round door, and came to another place, and the difference is that the owner here prefers green bamboo, both sides are filled, leaving only a winding path in the middle, leading to To that quiet.

Looking around, there is a feeling that the tall forest is illuminated in the morning, and the bamboo path leads to a secluded place.

Ziqing smiled faintly, this Fourth Young Master, looking at people is quite aggrieved, but the place where he lives is not bad, and he is full of flirts.

After walking for some distance, the servants in front still stood still, Ziqing almost caught him and bumped into him, she wobbled a bit to steady herself, she poked her head and saw that they had arrived.

Several green pines and green bamboos surround a house, in front of the house there is a clear pond, above the pond is a zigzag stone bridge, and there are people on the bridge, who are different from before, changed into loose white clothes, more relaxed and comfortable.

At this time, a handsome young man was standing by, seeing someone coming, he stretched out his hand and said nothing, only motioned for the two to wait, and then brought an old man in his fifties and two maidservants from somewhere.

Ziqing heard that the servant in front called the old man Guanshi Qin, bowed and saluted, saying that the eldest lady brought something rare for the fourth young master.

Qin Guanshi said a few words politely, asked the maid next to him to take down the small wooden box, and said with a smile, "Hehe, please help me to run away, and thank you for my master."

The servant hurriedly bent down, said "Don't dare", and retreated after saying that, and gave her another wink as he passed by Ziqing, guessing that he was waiting for her outside the garden, so that he could go all the way back, after all, They are on errands, just taking care of each other.

Thinking of this, Ziqing didn't hesitate, and then took two steps forward to salute her. Seeing that she was holding a food box, Steward Qin knew that she was here to pass on the food, so he just took a closer look, paused suddenly, and frowned. Mei sized Ziqing up.

"Why not a magpie girl?"

Ziqing paused, this steward was no better than that servant, she could say anything, the magpie was tired of working for the Fourth Young Master, if she told the truth, wouldn't she be complaining that her master was difficult to serve, if she was telling a lie... oh, It's all her fault, I just saw all the sights on the road, and I didn't find a good excuse.

Butler Liu seemed to understand, and only said that the fourth young master was unwell today and had no appetite, but it was hard for that girl, a small person, to run back and forth with a food box.

When he said this, Ziqing could hear the unspoken suffering of the dim sum. The master in the room hadn't eaten yet, so how could the servants below take care of their own food? Didn't they follow through over and over again?

Then he turned his eyes to Ziqing again, "However, I haven't seen you girl much, but you're new here?"

Ziqing nodded, and said that he had just been working in the old lady's room a few days ago. Manager Qin responded, and then asked where Ziqing's home was, and why he was so far away from Shuhe County. Come looking for work.

The real mother is so annoying, what is the shameful thing in this big house, recruiting a maid even asks the [-]th generation of ancestors, look how scary, setting up such a big house, recruiting so many people to do it What!

Ziqing vented secretly. These days, apart from going to the old lady's room to wait and chat, what she talks about most is where and how she got here, and everyone who is a step higher than her has to fucking ask Last time, no matter how good the xinxing is, you have to ask for a three-point fire!

She lowered her head slightly, so that people could not see her happiness and anger, and her face was not in a good mood. She just said what she said these days again, and her father would have to be hurt again.

Steward Qin didn't know what Ziqing was thinking, and only heard what this girl said was true, she was much better than those who admired the master's success from the very beginning, and were willing to work hard for the master.

He stroked his gray beard, looked back at the people on the bridge, and called the handsome boy beside him, "Mu Qing, bring the food box up, girl, you follow, Si Shao is not feeling well recently, if Si Shao eat less If you are happy, there must be a reward."

There is no need for rewards or anything, just don't toss people like this in the future!
Ziqing smiled and handed the food box to Mu Qing, with his face still respectful, he followed the two of them far away.

Standing on the curved bridge, Mu Shaoyi looked at the high wall opposite. The few green bamboos under the high wall were planted together by him and Xiaoran Yuxuan in the early years.

Once upon a time, there was a joke between the two little ones, that the green bamboo plant could stand upright and approach the vastness of the sea and sky, but it was only covered by a high wall, but it didn't grow very high no matter how long it was.

But now, the green bamboos are still the same, the high walls are still the same, but things have changed and people have changed, and everything has stopped.

Qin Guan went over first, "Four young masters, it's time to pass on the meal, and the old lady ordered the girl to bring it to you."

Mu Shaoyi didn't answer, just looked at the few green bamboos, with some cake crumbs in her slender hands, which slipped from her fingers into the pool, which made those brocades who were red like blood, black like ink, and white like porcelain Carp competed to snatch it, splashing dots on the hem of the clothes.

Ziqing sneered secretly, he refused to eat when he was hungry, and asked the whole room to accompany him, and even asked those fish to toss along, what a mother is hypocritical!

"Why don't you give me a face, at least it was sent by the girl next to the old lady. Maybe this time the ones prepared by the kitchen can still catch your eyes."

Qin Guanshi spoke unhurriedly, then turned around and led Mu Shaoyi to look back.

Mu Shaoyi folded her fingertips together, and turned around slowly. Her handsome face was always so clear. Looking back, she could find the thin figure behind Mu Qing, and saw Ziqing's slightly mocking look.

Ziqing slandered, and suddenly saw the victim looking over, he couldn't hold back his breath, choked, his face flushed, he quickly lowered his head, and just stared at the fish at the bottom of the pond.

Perhaps it was because the fish at the bottom of the pool were making a fuss, so Mu Shaoyi threw all the cake crumbs in her hand into the pool, then turned around, and a ray of moonlight entered the bamboo house.

Steward Qin saw it, and hurriedly asked Mu Qing to come in to serve him. The boy called Mu Qing took the food box to the outside room, took the lacquer plate and put it on, opened the top layer of the food box, and saw a plate of side dishes inside. The red oil is bright, the spinach is bright yellow, and the hot and sour smell is tangy.

On this hot day, looking at such a small dish is really appetizing, even the fat and thin square honey meat on the side is not comparable.

Mu Qing thought that his master would use some of it this time, so he hurriedly took out the side dishes and honey meat in the food box, and then opened the next layer, without taking a closer look, he also put the steamed buns and barley porridge on it, Pick it up and go to the back room.

Steward Qin's heart fell to the ground, since the master suffered such a crime, his body has not been as good as before, and now he doesn't like to eat, how can he make up for it.

If the master and wife blame it, everyone in the house will have to bear the burden. Not serving the master well is not a misdemeanor.

Steward Qin let out a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at Ziqing, and asked her to watch outside the house. After a while, Mu Qing brought out the food box. At the end of the day, he said the same thing, the fourth young master wants to eat happily, and there is a reward for keeping it.

Ziqing didn't know what to say, so he could only salute, and when he saw steward Qin left, he walked down the bridge slowly. This old steward is really weird, he will be rewarded for the left sentence, and the right sentence, why is he so sure.

However, just as Ziqing reached the door, several objects were thrown out of the room, she hastily took two steps back to hide, and when she stabilized her feet, she saw the mess on the ground.

The original delicate food box was lying on the ground, several layers of boxes were falling apart, the snow-white steamed buns rolled down to my feet, and the sticky barley porridge splashed on my shoes.

She raised her head and looked into the room in doubt, her heart skipped a beat. Mu Qing stood inside at a loss, looking at herself worriedly, and beside him was a slender figure, dressed in white clothes, his face was still handsome Yi, it's just those bright eyes, but they are getting colder and colder...
