The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 6
As soon as Fang Xiu cleaned up the kitchen, she immediately went back to communicate with the two children.

"Then we're going to stay in Shangshu Mansion from now on? Can we still go out?" Fei Yu asked anxiously.

"It should be possible, but don't wander around in the mansion. Be careful in everything. You usually stay in the house to read and write. After a few days, I will find a good place and send you to school."

Fang Xiuyi and the child tidied up their clothes and bedding, lived there first, and then moved things after checking the situation. This place cannot be returned, and if the errands in the Shangshu Mansion cannot continue after a month, they can come back to live.

As soon as Fang Xiu led the child into the east gate with the things, a young man came to receive him.

"Is it Cook Fang? The housekeeper told me to take you in."

"It's work!"

Fei Yu and Si Yuan also followed in a well-behaved manner, without looking left and right, for fear of causing trouble to their mother.

This time, I walked north for a while, and came to a courtyard with "Pear Garden" written on it. Fang Xiuyi felt emotional, so she was allowed to live in this place. It seems that her status is really not good.

"Everyone living in the troupe has a family and a family. It just so happened that one of the stewards resigned and vacated a small courtyard, so the steward Lu will leave it to you." The servant explained to Fang Xiuyi.

This pear garden is very large, but it is divided into several small courtyards, with two rooms and three rooms. As long as she can live, Fang Xiuyi feels a little more balanced. The Liyuan is the Liyuan, anyway, she is not an opera singer. Has this Lord Shangshu ever raised opera singers before?Alas, I am really full of warmth and thoughts!
The courtyard assigned to Fang Xiuyi is at the west end. There are two main rooms and two west rooms. The house is not big and the yard is very small. , there seems to be a latrine in the corner, which is very cramped, but fortunately, the whole is relatively clean and tidy, so Fang Xiuyi endured it, after all, there is no need to pay the rent.

"This is where you live. At the beginning of each month, go to Steward Li to collect charcoal and lamp oil. Your monthly money will be paid by Steward Lu, and you will not be charged by the mansion."

"Okay, I understand, thank you brother. I don't know my name, Gao?"

"Cook Fang, you're being polite, just call me Ah Cai. You are in charge of the adults' yard. If you need anything in the future, you can go to Steward Lu. The steward asked me to explain to you, and the others don't care about you."

As soon as Fang Xiu understood, the only ones who could control her in this mansion were Master Shang Shu and Steward Lu, and she was not responsible to anyone else.This is good, the personnel affairs are simple, and the work is simple.

"Thank you, Ah Cai, this is not a respect, please don't refuse." Fang Xiuyi gave Ah Cai ten copper coins.

"Don't dare, this is the errand of Shang Shu, we dare not neglect."

"Just take it. After leaving this courtyard, you will still be Ah Cai, and I will still be the cook."

Only then did Ah Cai accept it, but he also said a few more words.

"Sister Fang, Lord Shangshu likes to be quiet and pays attention to rules, but he is very kind to our servants. Our monthly salary is higher than that of other places. As long as everyone does their own things well, the Lord never treats everyone harshly, and sometimes rewards you." "It seems that Shang Shu is really a good person, when these people talk about him, they all praise him.

Fang Xiuyi and the children simply tidied up the house, and it was almost ready to live in. It seemed that the previous owner was also a tidy person.There are two west rooms, one is the kitchen, the stove is intact, and the other seems to be used as a utility room, which is a bit messy.

"Siyuan, I originally planned for you to separate after your birthday, but it seems to be ahead of schedule. This house is relatively small. Fei Yu and I live in the house on the east side. This utility room should be tidied up and used as a bathing place."

"I got it, mother!" Siyuan obediently agreed, no matter what, it's good to be with mother and sister, no matter how bad the conditions are, he doesn't care.

"Okay, Fei Yu, there is still a pot and some firewood in the kitchen, you boil some water, let's clean the main room now, and then tidy up this room."

Feiyu boiled the water, Fang Xiuyi took Siyuan to clean up the bathroom next to him, and when the cleaning was almost done, it was time to cook in the afternoon.

"Both of you sleep for a while, I'm too tired today. I'm going to cook for you now. If you're hungry, wait a minute. There are big rules here, and Mom doesn't know how to arrange it yet."

"Well, mother, I will take good care of my brother, we will not run around."

As soon as Fang Xiu changed her clothes, kissed the two children, and went to Lord Shangshu's yard, where Steward Lu was already there.

"Sorry, Steward Lu, I just moved here and it's late."

"It's not too late. Ah Cai has explained everything to you, right?"

"Yes."

"My lord eats less at night, so you do it accordingly. My lord goes out every day at Mao, eats lunch around noon, and eats dinner around Shen time in the evening. You prepare it in advance. If you eat out, you will send someone back to inform you in advance. What's special every day The ingredients to be bought should be told to Sandong one day in advance. Other basic things will be kept in the small kitchen. Don’t go out casually. If you go out, tell Sandong where to go and when to come back. This small kitchen is mainly responsible for Yes, but if Sandong has other orders, you can just follow them. You can’t eat here, and someone will bring you food and oil every month. You can’t take out the things in the small kitchen.” Lu Butler said There are a lot of them, I don’t know if I say it often, or if I have a good eloquence, there is no pause at all, and there is no mantra.

"Yes, I understand. If there is something wrong, please tell the steward."

"You don't need to express it, just leave."

Fang Xiu didn't come up in one breath, the goddamn butler, she was just being polite, but after thinking about her identity, why should people be polite to her, alas, the evil class society!
"Yes. But I wonder if my lord has any taboos?"

"No. Besides, don't go anywhere at night. Sandong will tell you when you can leave. You are always there."

What the hell is wrong with this? No wonder the wages are high and the requirements are so high. If you don't pay more, who would want to do it?Can't leave at night, what should the child do?Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, let's take one step at a time.

The courtyard where the adults live is big, and this courtyard is divided into three courtyards. The largest one in the middle is where Lord Shangshu lives. There is a courtyard on the west side. I don’t know what it is for. The kitchen is in the courtyard on the east side. It is not big. There are three rooms in the main room. There are three south rooms, and these three south rooms are all kitchens.Fang Xiu went into the kitchen one by one, and cursed the evil class society again. The kitchen was bigger than ordinary houses, and it was still a small kitchen.The inside is neatly arranged, and there is a row of stoves against the wall in the middle. There are several pots, and it is not a problem to cook several dishes at the same time.Various kinds of rice noodles are placed on the left side, and a shelf is placed on the right side. There is nothing at noon, and some meat dishes have been placed now.

Fang Xiuyi walked around the kitchen again, for dinner, as long as it is easy to digest, but Mr. Shangshu may have higher requirements and more things than ordinary people. At least four dishes and one soup, right?For her, creating a menu is a challenge.

A person came in from outside the door, Fang Xiu saw that she was about the same age as her, smiling.

"Is it Cook Fang? I'm San Dong. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me directly."

"Master Sandong!" Fang Xiuyi didn't know how to address the person in front of him.

"Hehe, I'm not an adult, you can call me by my name."

"Okay, Sandong."

"Well, don't be nervous, adults are not picky about food, you just cook home-cooked meals, don't be extravagant, adults are used to thrift."

"Okay, I understand." Fang Xiu thought it was okay after listening to it, and she was very easy to serve. "Sandong, I have another kind request. I still have two children. After dinner, can you allow me to leave for a while, I will buy them some snacks, and I will be back soon. I just moved in today, and I have nothing prepared .”

"You don't need to go out. Today's situation is special, you cook more for dinner and bring some back for them."

"Thank you Sandong, please also thank you sir for me!"

"Okay, you are busy, call me if you need something."

As soon as Fang Xiu heard that he could feed the children, he immediately became interested. Although he said that he should not have the mentality of taking advantage, it is a big deal to keep the children from starving.She chopped some meat stuffing, made steamed dumplings, made a meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, and a shredded pork soup, which was simple but rich.

The adult ate a lot, which showed that he was quite satisfied with her cooking. After cleaning up the kitchen, she quickly found a food box to pack the food and sent it to the child.

"Baby, are you hungry? Come on, hurry up and eat. Today, the adults said that they can bring them over for you. Tomorrow, mother will cook for you."

"Ah, steamed dumplings! It's so delicious!" Siyuan and Feiyu were really hungry, "Mother, you can eat too."

Fang Xiuyi also ate some. Anyway, he had already brought it over, so he could tell whether he ate it or not?
"Mother will come back very late. You can just wash up at night. However, at night, Siyuan should sleep with Fei Yu. Let's squeeze together. I'm worried that Fei Yu won't dare to sleep alone."

"Okay, mother, you should also pay attention to your body, don't get tired." Siyuan was very happy, and could sleep with mother again.

"Well, my dear, please be careful. Mother locks the door from the outside when she goes out. You take a key and I take a key. I will naturally have the key to open the door when I come back, and no one else can let in."

"I see, mother, my brother and I will pay attention."

Fang Xiu touched the children's heads and hurried back to the adults' yard.Sandong was already waiting in the yard.

"Hurry up and boil a pot of water for the adults and drink tea."

"Ok."

Fang Xiuyi's first day in Lord Shangshu's mansion was a hasty one. She waited in the kitchen all the time. She didn't have much to do, but she couldn't leave. My lord wanted to drink tea and boil hot water. My lord wanted to go to bed, so I boiled hot water.However, this adult slept really late, Fang Xiuyi yawned countless times.This is a job of boiling water, and you have to wait for it alone. It's really an evil class society!

When she went back, the children had already fallen asleep. Although the room was small, it was quite warm. In the afternoon, I used the remaining firewood to burn a kang, and it was quite hot.
