The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 23
"Don't hit, don't hit!"

Although Granny Zhu was hunched over, she was not slow at walking speed.He rushed over with a basket on his shoulders, and a pair of rough hands lay straight between the two of them.

The little chef was afraid of hurting the old man by mistake, so he retreated hastily, but Liao'er completely ignored the arrival of others, and still threw his hand out forcefully.Although her target was the little chef directly opposite, due to Granny Zhu's appearance, her raised hands just blocked her movement, so with a "snap", all her strength was directed at Granny Zhu.

With Granny Zhu's "Ouch" and her left arm being slapped heavily, she also fell to the ground.

Originally, she was quite old, and she was already very tired from busy work at dawn.What's more, he still had a basket full of vegetables on his left arm, and after receiving such a blow, he couldn't hold on immediately and was shot down.As a result, the basket was overturned, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables rolled all over the floor.

"Don't fight! Is there anything you can't talk about, but you have to use your hands?" Granny Zhu looked at the two of them sadly, and sincerely comforted them.

"I didn't want to hit her, it was because she spoke badly, I just turned around and poohed her." The little chef explained quite innocently while helping Granny Zhu up.

"Who speaks so badly! As for your virtue of not having ears or eyes, are you not allowed to remind you a few words?" Liao Er raised her hand, pointed at the little chef, and started talking again.

"Oh, my little ancestor!" Grandma Zhu said anxiously, "Please don't talk about it, you two, my food is almost ruined by the two of you!"

Jiujiu, who was walking step by step with a heavy basket on her shoulders, took a look, that's right, with the fall of Grandma Zhu just now, the vegetable basket was overturned, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables rolled all over the ground.As for Granny Zhu, she was helped to get up because she patronized and persuaded the fight, but the fruits and vegetables all over the ground were still scattered all over the floor.It's good now, no matter who these three people are, they can step on one if they take any step.I feel sorry for Granny Zhu~

Bai Jiujiu hurriedly put down the vegetable basket in her hand, and walked over in three steps at a time.First reach out to pick up the empty vegetable basket that fell to the side, and then quickly pick it up all the way.

"Well, Jiujiu is the most obedient, and my mother-in-law likes it!" Grandma Zhu watched the ground slowly return to its original cleanliness, and the melons and fruits returned to the original basket one by one, and the brows that were frowning anxiously also loosened.

This is food and cannot be wasted.

"Hmph—" Liao'er sneered when she heard Granny Zhu's praise.She didn't notice it before, but when the old woman in front of her reminded her, she saw it clearly.It turned out that the person dressed as a female worker in front of him was the one who offended his master twice in one day yesterday!
Soon, Bai Jiujiu picked up all the overturned things, and the basket became a full basket again.

"Jiujiu, accompany my mother-in-law to wash these dishes with clean water again."

What kind of people did Chunyue Building stay in? Not only are they all charming, they are also tricky and picky.If something goes wrong, a small stone or something hurts your teeth, they will turn you upside down.So, be careful.

"Oh." Bai Jiujiu had no objection.As long as time is running short, washing vegetables is like playing with water.Anyway, I'm not tired, just put it in clean water, and then fish it out of the clean water.Very simple.Thinking so, I readily agreed.

"Hurry up! Our lady and Lord Chai are waiting to eat!" Seeing the two figures, one old and one young, walking towards the well with a vegetable basket on their hands, Liao'er's lips, which had always been pursed, slightly curled up. radian.
No one will take special care of lunch in Chunyue Building on weekdays.Not to mention such a richly dressed maid came to supervise her in person.Therefore, Granny Zhu predicted that there must be a distinguished guest staying for dinner at Chunyue Building today.Therefore, the time that was already a little tense, after all this tossing, seemed even more tense.

Fortunately, with Bai Jiujiu's help today, two people washing vegetables is far faster than one person's speed.Granny Zhu looked at Bai Jiujiu with softer eyes.It was the right decision to take this child by my side.

When Granny Zhu returned to the kitchen with a basket full of freshly washed vegetables and Jiujiu, the chef had already prepared two dishes with the ingredients that Jiujiu had left in the yard just now.A line of emerald green, full of water, feels moist and refreshing.The other one is full of red. Under the sunlight penetrating through the window, it is as magnificent as rubies blooming with dazzling light.

"Well, it smells so good!" Jiujiu couldn't help admiring.

"That's right, you don't even look at who I am!" Little Chef was quite satisfied with Jiujiu's recognition of his work.As soon as he raised his head, he gave Jiujiu a smug smile.

"Smell the fragrance, take advantage of this opportunity to smell it more, you will only have the aftertaste after I move away!" Liao Er, who stood aside and watched coldly, cast a sideways glance at the two of them, and said neither salty nor weak .

"You..." Xiao Chu's expression changed immediately, and he was about to pay back when he turned around.

"Ah Hai, it's time to sprinkle salt." Granny Zhu interrupted at the right time.And gave him a wink.

"Ah, it turns out that this chef who cooks well is called Ah Hai!" Bai Jiujiu said sweetly immediately.

"Hehe, yes, my name is Lin Hai."

While Ah Hai was stirring the food in the pot, he looked at Bai Jiujiu who was smiling and adoring.Although I heard about this new girl named Jiujiu yesterday, it is obvious that the real people are not as stupid as the legends say, but people think that she is simple, honest and cute, with a kind of girl-next-door look. Feeling, kind and easy to get along with.Compared with the supervisor-like maid in the back, she is so many times better.

"Look, I'm several years older than you, so you have to call me brother." Ah Hai joked.

"En, brother Ah Hai." Bai Jiujiu didn't know that others were joking with her, and didn't think it was taking advantage of something, so she immediately called out sweetly.In her opinion, Bai Jiujiu, at present, as long as it is something that goes well with food, it can make her feel happy and convinced.Don't ask her to call her brother, even if she calls her father, she will not hesitate.

Granny Zhu saw that Ah Hai not only didn't have any estrangement from Bai Jiujiu because of the words from the building, but also accepted Bai Jiujiu's arrival so harmoniously, chatted and laughed with her familiarly, and felt very happy for Jiujiu.

only……

Liao Er, who was waiting for a long time with a food box and waiting for food, suddenly became more and more ugly.A pair of almond eyes swept over and over again among the smiling people.One, two, three, all three of them ignored themselves!
"Hey, are you alright?" Finally, I couldn't help asking again, but the tone was more impatient than before.

"Okay, okay! If you don't order so much, I won't be busy until now!" Little Chef Ah Hai said angrily.

"All right, all right, just these four dishes." Liao Er put the freshly filled dishes into the food box, thought for a while and continued, "Let's make some soup."

Ah Hai glared at her, if it wasn't for the sake of the prince who will eat the dishes he fried later, he would definitely put more chili and salt to make him so salty!

"What are you looking at, hurry up!"

"Understood, auntie!" Ah Hai yelled at Liao'er all the time, and then reluctantly began to cook the soup.
