The cook is very busy

Chapter 50
Ziqing opened her mouth halfway, wondering if she had heard it wrong, she looked at Mu Qing on the side, and then at Ren Xiaoran on the opposite side.

Very good, the faces of the two of them are not much better, it seems that she didn't hear wrong.

Mu Shaoyi stared at the bowls and chopsticks in front of her, as well as the mantou with a big bite, and frowned slightly, "Why, do you want me to use this pair of bowls and chopsticks?"

Ziqing took a look, hurriedly pulled his chopsticks aside, told him to wait, then turned around and brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Mu Qing took Ziqing's hand, put the bowl and chopsticks in front of her master, and asked Ziqing for another pair of chopsticks after thinking about it.

At this moment, there was one dish and one soup on the table, and there was no staple food, so those people turned their attention to Ziqing again.

Ziqing glanced at Mu Shaoyi, remembering the time when Zhu Wanju was there, he still had lingering fears, so he said bravely, "There are only steamed buns left in the stove."

Hearing this, Mu Shaoyi turned her gaze away, thinking of something, she just said it's okay.

After hearing these two words, Ziqing hurriedly ran to the stove, this time she picked out all the steamed buns, put them on plates and put them on the table.

She also specially put that plate of steamed buns in front of Mu Shaoyi, here, this is what you want, don't deny it then!
Mu Qing was startled when he saw the young master's entire face turned blue, but what surprised him even more was that the young master only glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Ren Xiaoran finds it very interesting, this girl is obviously afraid of the Fourth Young Master, but she just wants to mess with him again, she really is not good at learning.

Seeing that everything was done, Ziqing took out his bowls and chopsticks, and before he was about to leave, Ren Xiaoran asked, "What are you doing?"

Ziqing faltered and pointed elsewhere, "I, I'll eat later."

"Let's eat here!" The two said these words at the same time, and they both paused slightly.

Ziqing didn't know what these two people meant, so he just hugged the bowl and chopsticks tightly, glanced at him, and talked nonsense.

"Then, it's time for someone to come from the cook at that moment, I, I will keep it outside, young master, you two eat slowly."

Mu Shaoyi didn't speak, but it was Ren Xiaoran who said, "It's okay, just now at the banquet, grandma sent someone to call the kitchen staff to question, and she won't be back for a while."

No wonder there wasn't even a single person there, she let her go away, that's right, she took a detour when she came back, and didn't run into Erya and the others.

Ziqing was speechless for a while, neither walking nor standing, so he had to grab a three-legged stool for washing vegetables and sit down.

Seeing this, Mu Qing rolled up her sleeves, picked up chopsticks and served Mu Shaoyi and Ren Xiaoran with dishes.

Two handsome men of equal quality and a humble girl eating at the same table, this scene is so strange no matter how you look at it.

And the three of them sat around the table without saying a word, it was really embarrassing, Ziqing was already extremely hungry, and she couldn't open her arms to eat, if she was only facing Ren Xiaoran before, she could let go, but now There are two more people, but she can't ignore some face.

After finishing their meal quietly, the two sons and young masters had no reason to stay here, put down their chopsticks and left.

Although Ziqing didn't expect these two people to help tidy up, but he still felt uneasy, and he hopped around for a long time, eating the least one!
At the end there was a steamed bun on the plate, she broke it open and pulled in the remaining shredded fried pork, and stuffed it into Mu Qing's hand before he went out.

He followed the Fourth Young Master and ran around, thinking he didn't eat lunch, so give him a steamed bun and ask him to make a mat.

After all, he was still half a child, and his stomach grumbled three times when he was beside her just now, and it was hard for him, and with him stretching his chopsticks back and forth on the dining table, she felt more comfortable eating.

Seeing that there was still egg soup left and no one else was around, it was a pity, so Ziqing put down the dishcloth and picked up the soup basin to drink.

"Sister, you are here!"

"puff!!!"

Ziqing didn't swallow the soup, but sprayed it all out.

Er Ya and Dong Cui hurried over, "Oh, poor fellow, why are you so hungry, sister, you should drink slowly!"

"Cough cough cough...it's okay, Miss Dongcui..."

Ziqing coughed a few times and hurriedly said, Erya gave her the back with a look of disgust.

"Really, sister Dongcui and I didn't leave steamed buns for you anymore, why are we pouring water into our stomachs?"

"That's right, girl, have you eaten? There's still some in the steamer. I'll get it for you!"

"Hey, why are there so many bowls and chopsticks, who hasn't eaten lunch?"

Ziqing took a breather, and couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he had to hold Dongcui, and asked them where they went.

What Dong Cui said was the same as Ren Xiaoran, they asked the eldest wife to go to the stone platform for questioning, but the miscellaneous workers just waited below, and Aunt Chen and the women went up to answer the questions.

It's time to break up, the two of them hurried back without seeing her.

Ziqing smiled at the two of them, and cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks under his hands, "What did the eldest lady ask you to ask?"

Erya stood aside with a happy face, "What can I do? It's not because of scooping up the eels. Auntie Zhang can't pay the bill, but it looks good!"

Ziqing couldn't hear clearly, so she asked Dongcui back, Dongcui explained to her while helping her tidy up.

Aunt Chen said on the road that Mrs. Zhang had deducted the monthly payment of the kitchen without authorization, and there were many accounts that were unclear. The grandma asked them to go over to question for this matter.

Only then did the master speak, beat Mrs. Zhang twenty boards, and drove her out of the back kitchen.

Ziqing only responded lightly, but didn't say anything. Zhang Meng's family is usually domineering, and most of the people in the back kitchen are people whom she has bullied.

At this moment, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them, and they couldn't blame others.

Dong Cui packed up some sets of bowls and chopsticks, and took them to the sink first, Erya took the opportunity to talk to Ziqing, and Mrs. Chen put it on the stone platform, as if she heard someone muttering that she knew that she had a reward, let her Be careful.

Ziqing smiled at her, and continued to wipe the table, saying that he knew, and he didn't plan to put it all in his arms.

Erya looked at her indifferent look, thought she didn't take it to heart, raised her chin, "Anyway, I've said what I should say, listen to you or not, don't forget, the two of us are on the same side." of!"

"I know, from a village." Ziqing raised his head and smiled, walked around Erya, and asked again, "Erya, how do you know that Sister-in-law Zhang was punished because of the eel?"

Gang Dongcui only said that Sister-in-Law Zhang's accounts were not clear, but she didn't specify which one, and she also came out to the banquet and only found out after hearing what the magpie said.

Erya's delicate little face changed suddenly, and she stared at her with wide-eyed eyes.

Seeing this, Ziqing felt confident, smiled with her, and went to Dongcui's side.

Afterwards, Mrs. Chen came in with a dozen other women with a smile. She was very happy to hear that Dong Cui said that she had been given the new post of steward.

She is an old man in the back kitchen, and has been with Zhang Meng's family for more than ten years. In terms of qualifications and skills, she should belong to her.

It's just that as soon as Mrs. Chen entered the back kitchen before she sat down to cool off, she immediately found her and asked with a half-smile, "Girl Qing, I heard that the master rewarded you!"

Dong Cui raised her head to look at Ziqing, her lips moved, and she hurriedly lowered her head again.

Ziqing took out the washed bowls and chopsticks, shook his hands, and happily said to Mrs. Chen, "Thank you!" Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, and she pretended to tell her kindly.

"Girl, don't blame the aunt for not mentioning you, you can't eat the money alone, look at the people in our yard, who is not staring at your reward money!"

Mrs. Chen looked at Ziqing and continued to talk nonsense, "I'm telling you, you give me the silver, and I'll change it into small change. If everyone divides it up, why don't you give it away?"

Ziqing groaned, pretending to look into the stove, pursed his lips, and nodded.

Mrs. Chen grinned now, "Okay then, give me all the rewards the master gave you!"

Ziqing responded readily, squinting at the women nearby, and opened his mouth when he got up, but Dongcui let out an "Ouch" and dragged her both to the ground...
