Chapter 42

Except for the half-hour break at noon, the back kitchen is busy at other times.

After dinner at noon, everyone was tired and went back to the house to sleep, leaving only a few night watchmen to take a nap in the small room in the kitchen, in case the master wanted to have a supper or something and couldn't find anyone.

Dongcui didn't know where to find a short table, and put the steamed buns and side dishes that she and Erya had left for Ziqing on top of it, okay, and a bowl of lukewarm glutinous rice ribs and winter melon soup.

Needless to say, barley ribs, and these meat dishes are leftovers for each house. Zhang Meng's family and Mrs. Chen's spoons are all put together and fried.

"Hurry up and eat my sister, or it will be really cold."

Dong Cui picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and handed them to Ziqing, and sat down opposite her to urge her.

Ziqing looked at those vegetables and soup, she really didn't know how they got them under Zhang Meng's nose.

These days, although the three of them often work together, they seldom get along with each other, and it's unexpected that they still have this kind of heart for her.

She took out the lotus leaf bag in her bosom and put it on the low table, took the chopsticks and began to eat heartily, watching Dongcui and Erya's smiling eyebrows and eyes crooked, "Thank you."

"No need, sister, if it wasn't for you today, I'd have to ask Mrs. Chen to catch me straight," Dong Cui said with a smile on her face, looking much better than the dull look she had when she was working in the morning.

Ziqing thinks what Dongcui said should be about her dozing off at noon, but she thanked the wrong person, if she wanted to thank Erya, she would have to suffer if Erya hadn't bumped into her. Training.

Erya paused, turned her head away, even though the room was not too bright with the oil lamps on, she could still see that little girl was blushing.

"I, I didn't just help you. Yes, my aunt told me to take good care of you before I went back."

She was just being humane, if it wasn't for the two taels of reward that my aunt had on her that day, she gave one tael to Zhang Meng's wife, she might be chopping firewood in the woodshed and rolling the mill in the mill right now!

Yo ho, who is taking care of whom, this little girl is quite twisted!

Ziqing laughed twice, forget it, don't care about her, if she treats herself well, she treats her well.

She bit the steamed bun and opened the lotus leaf, and there were some pastries inside. A few pieces of puff pastry were knocked apart by Zhang Meng's family, but the rest were fine.

Ziqing yelled for the two of them to eat, but casually said that the big house gave it to them, and did not sell the old woman who guarded the garden.

Dongcui looked good at first, but she didn't dare to do it. She wanted to tell Ziqing to keep eating by herself. She didn't pick it until Ziqing urged her three times, saying that the sweet cake wouldn't survive the night and would go bad the next day. Take a bite of half a puff pastry, the skin is crispy, the filling is sweet and delicious.

Erya was moved by Dongcui's words, pursed her lips and wanted to pick up half a piece to try, but Ziqing stopped her, she said that the one with puff pastry was a bit greasy, and the one with rice cakes and beans was better.

Erya tried it according to the words, the mouth is indeed soft and suitable, sweet but not greasy, after all, it is the nature of a child, with delicious food, stuffing his mouth full of joy.

Dong Cui held a piece of shortbread in both hands, "How about Erya, is it delicious?"

"It's, it's okay."

Ziqing looked at her angrily, does this little girl know how she scooped up these pastries!
"Second girl."

"What are you doing?" Er Ya raised her head with puffed cheeks.

Ziqing tilted his head, bit his chopsticks and looked at her, "You ate my shortbread and rice cake, so you have to call me sister, at least you'll be short-mouthed."

"Pfft...cough...cough..."

Dong Cui hurriedly helped Erya to carry her back.

Ziqing shrugged, picked up a piece of braised pork, and took a bite of the steamed bun, "Forget it."

Full of food, Ziqing and Dongcui went out for a walk to digest food, also watching the night getting darker, halfway Ziqing called them to go back, and went back to the other courtyard by himself.

At night, the magpie who was sleeping soundly turned over and chewed a few words. Ziqing helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, put her hands back on the pillow, and looked at the roof blocking the moonlight.

In the second half of the day, the woman guarding the garden said that the Fourth Young Master must have seen her with dark eyes, as if she hadn't woken up, that's why she let her snooze in the pavilion.

But is this person really that good? Thinking about it, she has only met this Fourth Young Master four or five times in total. He has helped her, but he has also hurt her.

After all, it was more times that he harmed her.

No, the kitchen break was early today, and she was still thinking about getting back to sleep for a while, but now she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, she felt so aggrieved!

You said that the fourth young master is really free, why don't you wake her up and let her sleep for such a long time, now it's over, she has to be a night owl!
Ziqing sighed angrily, and she wondered why she offended him...

The next day, Magpie woke up and saw that Ziqing was still asleep, and cried out inwardly that his son, sister Qing, should have gone out by now!

She lifted the quilt and hurriedly pushed Ziqing to wake up, not caring about herself, she helped Ziqing dress and comb her hair first, thinking that sister Ziqing must be going crazy, why don't she keep scolding her master? Fortunately, Meixiang Cuizhu and the others got up early to gather morning dew, so it would be good if it didn't spread the word.

Ziqing ran away in a hurry before he could say a word to the magpie. Today is too late, Zhang Meng's family must be waiting in the yard to catch her!
But when Ziqing arrived at the back kitchen, he found that everything was in disarray. Zhang Meng's family stood in the middle and yelled, pointing at the people in the yard and Mrs. Chen walking around.

Ziqing watched as the fisherman entered the yard first, and then found Dongcui. Dongcui made two bamboo baskets, one carrying it and the other carrying it. It seemed that she was going to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

Dong Cui looked at Ziqing, "Sister, why are you here so soon."

"Um, I'm late, Sister Dongcui, what's going on today?"

"What are you two hooves doing? The government didn't spend money to tell you to come here and grind your teeth, why don't you hurry up and go to work!"

Dong Cui was about to speak when she heard Zhang Meng's family yelling behind her. She hurriedly stuffed the basket in her hand to Ziqing, and the two of them went out first. The uncle and the others have returned to the mansion, and asked Wushang to prepare some good dishes and send them to Shitaixie.

Ziqing was about to ask what this stone platform and water pavilion was, when he heard Zhang Meng's family roar and drive Mrs. Chen out. She was carrying a basket, so it could be said that she fled in despair.

The two of them glanced at each other, "Go pick vegetables, go pick vegetables."

Zhang Meng's family put their hips on their hips and looked at the kitchen yard out of breath. The people inside told her to scold and run away, leaving only three fire girls, who lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe.

Seeing that there were no people around, Zhang Meng's family clasped their hands and shook uncontrollably, rather than being angry, it was better to say that they were anxious and panicked, and scared.

I'm going to die, usually when the old man returns to the mansion, Mu An who is beside him will come back early to report, how come there is no movement this time!

This is a good thing, the dish that the master specially ordered is not prepared, how should I explain it when I ask it, this thing is often found in the house, and this month is also the time to eat it, but it is only the master Well, when the second master and the third master were around, they were rare for this thing, and the old ladies and grandmothers didn't even dare to look at it, let alone eat it.

A while ago, she withheld the money and didn't play with that thing. She was thinking about waiting for Mu An to report the letter, and then asking someone to scoop it out on the street. It would only take three to five days to prepare it.

She just sent the silver to the grandma yesterday, and the master is back today, what should I do now! ! !

Zhang Meng's family had a mournful face, and when he turned his head to catch a glimpse of Erya who was lighting a fire, he suddenly had a plan.

That's right, it's a big deal to find a girl to top the tank! —————————— Asking for tickets, asking for bricks, asking for collection^-^
