The cook is very busy

Chapter 59

Ziqing just talked to Mrs. Sun about her big fat grandson, and the skylark came to look for it. From what it looked like, it must have found the back cook, and then came back.

"Ouch, this back and forth is exhausting me."

Yunque saw Ziqing at first glance from outside the yard, rushed in without waiting for the people in the room to speak, and went to pour himself a glass of water with familiarity.

That's right, Skylark came out of this room in the first place, so she knows what's in the room.

She drank a glass and wiped her mouth, and turned her head to speak, but saw the shoe uppers in Mrs. Sun's hands sharply. Although she couldn't see the style clearly, they were new after all.

"Hey, where are the uppers here? They look really good. The old lady rewarded me with a pair of shoes yesterday, but they are not good enough to wear them." After finishing speaking, Yunque looked at the room They looked at each other.

Grandma Sun's face was not very good when she heard that, this Lark girl is really cunning, she just came here by herself, I don't know whether the upper of the shoe was given to her by Qing girl or if she wanted to give it to Qing girl.

It's not easy for the skylark to ask for money from the two of them, but just saying so, it's talking to the people in the room.

Mrs. Sun originally wanted to talk about her, but since she doesn't work here anymore, she can't blame herself for the embarrassment, but then she thinks that Ziqing is still here, forget it, don't try to have fun for a while Instead, Qing girl was punished.

Ziqing smiled, and looked down at the shoe uppers in Grandma Sun's hand, "Sister Yunque said yes, I look at Aunt Sun's shoe uppers, it's good that they are neither plain nor colorful, they really suit you."

After listening, Yunque took a closer look, and she was really old-fashioned, and she was afraid of making people laugh if she wore it out, so she immediately turned her eyes away and changed another sentence.

"Oh, look, I forgot, sister Ziqing, the old lady called you."

"The old lady called me? What are you doing?" Ziqing blurted out for a moment.

"Look at what my sister said. I don't know what the old lady ordered. It's not Sister Du Juan."

Hearing this, Yunque felt a little sour, and only told Ziqing that she would know when she arrived.

Ziqing took a closer look at his face, but couldn't see anything, so he had to talk to Grandma Sun before leaving.

Grandma Sun couldn't stay in the room by herself, so she hurriedly put the shoe uppers in her arms, and went out with the two of them as she spoke, and they didn't separate until they were on the veranda.

All the way without talking, until the front yard, Yunque walked into the house through the curtain, followed closely by Ziqing.

The outer room was still taken care of by a few young girls, and Du Juan was serving in the inner room, so she scooped some incense pills in the incense burner and went in. When she saw Ziqing, she smiled and pointed to the door, then turned and entered the inner room.

After a while, she helped the old lady out. The old lady was still so kind-hearted, and she stretched out her hand to her before Ziqing could salute.

Ziqing hurried forward, the old lady pulled her to sit on the soft couch, and looked at her carefully, "Poor girl, it's only been a month, but she has lost some weight, do you blame me?"

What is this called? I dare not say yes!
Ziqing stood aside, not daring to say it, she made a mistake herself, how could she make the old lady feel uncomfortable, and this time, she is much stronger in the back kitchen.

When the old lady heard this, she burst out laughing, pointing at Ziqing and grinning from ear to ear, "What a silly girl, everyone says she is a delicate little girl, how can there be a strong big girl, you, ouch, hehehe ..."

Du Juan also covered her mouth and smiled, and then leaned over to the old lady, "Old lady, although this girl is rough and clumsy, she is simple and pleasing, it is better to ask her to stay by your side." To amuse you and relieve your boredom."

As soon as these words came out, the two people in the room were startled. Needless to say, Ziqing, she didn't want to come to the front yard again, and Yunque looked at Du Juan, but the other party turned a blind eye. She was really scared. If this girl came back , her status is not guaranteed.

With a smile on her lips, the old lady looked at Ziqing's expression, she was not happy to see her, but rather surprised, and then let go of Ziqing's hand.

"Forget it. Now the back kitchen is busy. How can this girl get away? Let's talk about it after a while. If you really take her back, then I have to ask that old lady Chen to complain."

Du Juan pretended to be angry, and hurriedly replied, "That old woman dares, not to mention eight, she would not dare to make such a move if she had a dozen of courage! Ziqing, tell me, how is this old lady Chen compared to Zhang Meng's family!"

Why did this involve her, Du Juan asked in a daze, what should she say, how would she know what these two people are like, whether they are talking about stealing tricks, or trying to enrich their own pockets?
Ziqing was stunned for a moment, thinking about it and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang has been in charge of the spoon for many years and knows a lot. She can scoop out any dish with her hands. Aunt Chen cooks good soup. She..."

Du Juan said with a straight face, "Hey, who asked you this!"

"Okay, okay, don't be embarrassing girl Nanqing, you have me in your heart, my wife knows."

The old lady laughed, interrupted Du Juan, and said to Ziqing, "Girl, I called you here today, one of them just wanted to see you, seeing that you're not bad, I'm relieved, and the other..."

Du Juan took a piece of paper from the low table of the soft couch and handed it to Ziqing, and the old lady said that the latter's house hosted a banquet, and the people from southern Hunan were invited. Their respective housekeeping skills are brought out.

Ziqing hurriedly responded, took the piece of paper, she squinted at it, it turned out to be a menu.

"Okay, it's rare to see girl Qing, and I will reward you with a tael of silver and two clean clothes."

Seeing that the old lady had finished speaking, she closed her eyes, Du Juan only said that the old lady was tired, and asked Yunque to take Ziqing down to receive the reward.

Yunque had a complex expression, happy that Ziqing didn't stay, but also jealous that Ziqing got the reward, he didn't have a good face at the moment, even though he didn't want to, he still had to do it.

After everyone left, Du Juan went out with her, and brought a cup of hot tea when she came back, "Old lady, this is the new tea that the third master sent yesterday, you can try it."

As Du Juan spoke, he lifted the tea cover, and the room was filled with fragrance. The old lady was moved by the fragrance of the tea, took a sip, and put it on the low table.

Seeing this, Du Juan hurried forward, "If the tea is not cooked to the old lady's liking, Du Juan will change it to another cup."

The old lady waved her hand, "No need, the tea is good, but it's not hot enough, it's so bad, it's new tea, it's not good, it's not good."

Du Juan was clever, and tentatively said, "What the old lady means, that girl..."

The old lady looked at Du Juan and said with a gentle smile, "The fourth child used to say that people have their own ambitions. If you want to put it bluntly, it is to force the bull's head to not drink water. Maybe my wife can't keep people here. .”

Du Juan hurriedly said, "Old lady, you are wrong. The old lady is the most blessed place here. It is only to blame that girl for not growing up, she has a stupid head!"

The old lady laughed again when she heard that, "I was wrong just now, this time you are the one who said wrong, that girl is always a master who pretends to be stupid, so she should not be underestimated."

Looking back at the new cup of tea on the low table, the old lady couldn't sit still anymore and said to Du Juan.

"Girl Qing said that the garden has been replaced with new plants, you help me out for a walk, I want to see, the old three's family, find out what is good!"
