Chapter 18
"Oh, there's no way, we maidservants, that's the way it is, you go back and persuade her..." Li Ya was talking when she was suddenly cut off by Nanny Bai.

"Shut your mouth and burn your fire, this is not a place for you to chatter and babble!"

Liya shrank her neck in fright, and quickly handed a piece of firewood into the stove.

Nanny Bai was very satisfied with Liya's fear of her, so she swaggered over to talk to Nanny Song and the others.

There were many things that needed to be prepared in advance for the spring banquet. After breakfast, Nanny Bai and Nanny Song went to Nanny Liu to discuss the menu on the table.It's a discussion, but it's just a formality. After all, it's a banquet that is held every year. You only need to take a copy of the previous year's menu, add or subtract a symbolic amount, and then give it to the host Zhongjian's wife took a look at it, and after getting approval, Madam Liu would assign the task.

After lunch, Nanny Liu went to his wife's place, and when she came back, she assigned everyone's tasks.

The nuns in the second kitchen were in charge of assisting the first kitchen to prepare the dishes for the banquet, Ai Lan was in charge of lighting the fire, Liya was in charge of washing the dishes, and Pomegranate joined the ranks of the serving maids.

There were a total of 20 maidservants in charge of serving the dishes. They were responsible for serving the dishes to the banquet and removing the empty dishes and wine jars from the banquet.These maidservants in charge of serving dishes need to meet guests. For the honor of the Hou Mansion, Madam Liu specially selected some handsome ones. Due to the lack of manpower in the kitchen, she also selected some from the washing room, lavender room and embroidery room.

Shiliu is very proud of being selected, and she is as proud as a flower peacock in front of Ai Lan and Liya.Ai Lan ignored it directly, while Li Ya was already used to being numb.

Nanny Bai came over with a smile and touched Ai Lan's head, her smile was so malicious: "Erlan, you are new here and have never seen much of the world, so you should be more cautious on the day of the banquet, don't make trouble. What the hell is going on!"

Ai Lan lowered her head, and the disgust hidden in her eyes disappeared in a flash. The old man dared to press hard on the top of her head. She was already stunted. Does this old man want her to be a short winter melon forever? ?

Ailan suddenly stretched out her hands to hug Nanny Bai's wrist, and pulled that hand down with a little force, but refused to let go. Instead, she raised her face and smiled sincerely at Nanny Bai, while pinching it hard: "Nurse Bai What Mama said, Erlan must keep it in mind!"

Nanny Bai's cheeks twitched in pain, her smile was distorted, she wanted to pull her hand but couldn't, she was so angry that she raised her other hand and threw it towards Ailan's face.However, Erlan seemed to have noticed it in advance, and let go quickly. The moment Bai Nanny's hand was about to slap her on the face, she staggered away and pretended to be thrown by Bai Nanny before she fell to the ground. Then he raised his face and covered the half of his face that seemed to be thrown with tears in his eyes, biting his lip in fear and begging: "Nurse Bai, please don't beat this servant, please spare this servant, this servant made a mistake..."

Mother Bai was amazed that Ai Lan knew how to act at such a young age, she thought, no wonder Pomegranate is not the opponent of this little hoof, she can pretend!
Seeing the scene just now, Nanny Song frowned, feeling ashamed of Nanny Bai's way of beating Ai Lan for no reason. Although she didn't make a sound, her eyes were fixed on Nanny Bai.

Mother Bai was stared at all over, and she didn't intend to have an attack at this time, and more importantly, someone would clean up her little hooves for her, so she rubbed her wrist that was blue from Ailan's pinch, while The corners of his mouth twitched and he smirked: "Okay, I won't argue with you as a child, and be more cautious in the future!"

Ai Lan knew exactly what Nanny Bai was thinking, since this old guy kept making trouble for her, then she didn't need to be merciful at that time!

At [-] o'clock in Shenshi, Ai Lan got up from the stove and was about to wash her hands and have a meal, but she saw Huaihua rushing into the kitchen yard. Without saying a word, she pulled her and ran out of the yard, saying, "I I'll take you to see Zaohua for the last time, you might lose your breath if it's too late!"

Ai Lan was taken aback, and then, voices from Sophora japonica flooded into her mind one after another.
