Chapter 327

The cooks in the small kitchen are still very capable. It didn't take long for them to prepare a dozen delicious dishes. They also prepared a serving of staple foods such as rice, soup cakes, and steamed cakes. They were packed full Two big food boxes.

Mrs. Liu politely invited Cui Han to come in. Cui Han looked at the food in the food box, and couldn't help but sighed a little, alas, it was some greasy meat food again. It smelled delicious, but it was not healthy to eat. ah.

But at this moment, Cui Han couldn't say anything. When she was drinking tea in the outside room just now, after some thinking, she had already come up with an idea. She decided to take the time in the afternoon to talk about this matter with Auntie, and then ask Auntie for her opinion. .

Slightly nodding his head, Cui Han signaled his personal maid to cover the lid of the food box, and then the two of them carried one back to the main hall together.

Mrs. Liu was very active. She not only helped carry the food box, but also escorted Cui Han into the main hall.

Madam Liu is so attentive, one is to show her respect for Cui Han, and the other is to show her merits in front of the eldest lady.Because Er Niu cooked a new dish today, and Mrs. Liu still wanted to get some rewards for it.

Cui Han didn't know Liu Niangzi's plans, but seeing her flattery, although he was a little displeased, he didn't show it, he still smiled.

A Niang once taught her that there are many servants like Mrs. Liu in every house. Such people are villains to put it bluntly, and villains are as slippery as oil, but they really need meat oil in daily life To adjust the taste.

The eldest lady drank a lot of bitter medicine juice, she was already hungry, and finally waited until the meal time, when she saw Cui Han leading Lady Liu in, she didn't say much, she glanced at Mama Ge and motioned for her Hurry up and set the meal.

In the past, it was Mama Zhao who served the eldest lady for dinner, but it was the first time for Mama Ge to do it, so her reaction was inevitably a little slow.

However, after all, she is an old man who has served the lady for decades, she was a bit slow at the beginning, but she still understood the hint from the lady, and hurriedly helped the lady set up a snack bed, and stuffed the bed behind the lady's back. a hidden pouch so that she can sit and eat comfortably.

Compared to Mama Ge's unfamiliarity, Lady Liu is used to it. Without waiting for Cui Han to speak, she actively directed a few servant girls to open the food box and carefully put the food on the snack bed.

While laying out the dishes, Mrs. Liu also graciously explained: "This is the quail just delivered from the farm. The old servant fried it according to the old rules. Madam, would you like to try it?"

The eldest lady glanced over the dishes, and finally landed on a dish that she couldn't bear to eat. She pointed to the dish and asked, "What is this? It smells pretty good."

Mrs. Liu intentionally placed the plate of spicy sautéed fat sausage in front of the eldest lady, and when she heard her question, she explained with a smile: "This is a new dish developed by the old slave, called chili fat sausage."

The eldest lady frowned slightly, and asked: "Chili? What kind of dish? Could it be another new dish from the farm?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said with a smile: "No, this chili pepper is a rare item. I heard that it was a new variety brought from overseas by a Hu merchant named Wu. In the whole capital, only Wu's shop has it. Sell. The old slave tried the taste, it was a little spicy, but it was different from the pepper, this pepper is not pungent, but the taste is very good, it is the best with rice or something."

Mrs. Liu was smart enough not to mention fat intestines. She knew that although the eldest lady liked all kinds of delicacies, she didn't like animal offal very much.If she told the eldest lady that the fat intestine was that part of the pig, wouldn't the eldest lady lift the food bed on the spot?Not to mention the reward she expected.

Um, it's better to wait for the eldest lady to eat this fatty sausage and feel satisfied. She is secretly reminding the eldest lady that it is good.

In fact, Mrs. Liu misses Mama Zhao very much, because in the past, Mama Zhao would be by her side to help her sing along, even if the lady was not satisfied with the meal, she would not get angry, but instead would say that she worked hard and knew how to study.

Mrs. Zhao is not here today, and Mrs. Liu is not familiar with Mrs. Ge. She is really entangled. She is worried that Mrs. Ge will not help smooth things over, but will make things worse.

The eldest lady nodded, and Mama Ge, who was beside her, held the silver chopsticks wrapped in white silk with both hands.

The eldest lady took the silver chopsticks, put a chopsticks of fat intestines into her mouth, and chewed it lightly. She was first stimulated by the spicy taste of the pepper, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning.But soon, when her mouth got used to the strange taste, she liked the spicy feeling very much, and couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

Cui Han stood aside, helping the lady deliver tea and water, seeing that she was only greeting the fat plate of 'new dishes', she was worried, and reminded softly: "Grandma, the staple food is rice and soup cakes. And steamed cakes, do you want to eat like that?"

Cui Han thought, with staple foods such as rice noodles as a buffer, the lady can also eat less fatty meat and meat dishes.

The lady paused, nodded and said, "That's right, I said why it's a little salty, so it's because I don't use staple food, it's because Ah Han is careful. Well, how about this, bring me a small bowl of rice."

Cui Han personally brought a small bowl of rice to the lady, and thoughtfully served a bowl of light vegetable and egg drop soup.

Maybe it's because the chili tastes so good, or maybe it's because the lady is really hungry. For this meal, the lady used one more bowl of rice than before, and she ate most of the food on the table. The plate of fried quail was even more delicious. Bottom.

Seeing the eldest lady eating happily, Mrs. Liu's eyes were all smiles, and she bowed and stood aside, rubbing her hands and waiting for the eldest lady's reward.

It's a pity that Mrs. Liu soon found out that without Mama Zhao's reminder, the eldest lady simply forgot about the reward, and it was the first time Mama Ge served the eldest lady for dinner, and now she only cared about the eldest lady's food Okay, I forgot or didn't know to remind the lady.

After the eldest lady had finished her meal, rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands, Mrs. Liu could only get a verbal compliment, and there was nothing like a reward.

Lady Liu came out of the main hall in dismay, and stood at the door in a daze for a while, as if she had thought of something, instead of going back to the small kitchen, she turned around and went to the back street of Cui's house.

Cui Han served the eldest lady to finish her meal, and at the urging of the eldest lady, she also went down to eat lunch.

In the side room on the west side of the main hall, Cui Han briefly ate some lunch, and then went back to the dormitory to serve the eldest lady to take a nap. After the eldest lady fell asleep, she told Mama Ge, and then returned to Yinghui courtyard.

In the Yinghui Courtyard, Mrs. Wang just had lunch and was sitting in the main room drinking tea, when she looked up and saw her daughter came back, she hurriedly waved to Cui Han, beckoning her to sit beside her.

Cui Han knelt and sat beside Wang, and Wang took her daughter's hand with concern, looked her up and down, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so she asked about her affairs in the main hall.

Cui Han briefly talked about how she served the eldest lady to take medicine and how to serve her meals, then frowned and said cautiously: "Mother, there is something, I don't know whether I should tell you or not. .”

Wang raised her eyebrows, rubbed the back of her daughter's silky hand, and said softly: "What's the matter? But it has something to do with Madam?"

Cui Han nodded, organized her words, and slowly explained the unreasonable diet of the eldest lady, and finally she said with a little anxiety: "Mother, this, this matter seems small, but I always feel that something is wrong. , as if someone deliberately pampered grandma."

To a certain extent, the elderly are the same as children. Sometimes they will have a little temper and have some bad habits. This requires the tolerance and correction of adults.

When Wang heard this, a light flashed in her eyes, and she said with a gratified smile, "Hehe, yes, my Ah Han has really grown up, and I can think of so much just based on these."

Yes, someone is deliberately conniving with the eldest lady. This kind of behavior can actually be called "praise and murder", deliberately "indulging" the originally normal lady into an unreasonable, grumpy, strange old woman.

Cui Han was slightly startled, and stared blankly at Wang with her small mouth open, "Aniang, you, are you saying that someone really murdered grandma like this?"

It can't be Aniang, right?

A shadow cast over Cui Han's heart, she didn't even dare to look into Wang's eyes, for fear of getting an affirmative answer - Da Furen is her real grandmother, she knows that the old man doesn't like her, but she can't sit idly by. The mother murdered the grandmother.

But soon, Cui Han denied his guess. If the matter was really done by A Niang, it would be too obvious.

A Niang is in charge of the center of the Rongkang Hall, and is also in charge of the daily life of the grandma. If something happens to the grandma, or if this incident happens, the first person people will suspect is the grandma.

Auntie wouldn't be so stupid!
Cui Han thought of this, heaved a sigh of relief, raised her head, looked directly at Wang, and silently declared her trust in her mother.

Cui Han didn't know that the struggle in her heart just now had already been shown on her face, and the whole process was also seen by Wang Shi.

Seeing that her daughter finally believed in herself, Wang was even more satisfied.However, now is not the time for warmth. She wants to use this to teach her daughter something.

After sorting out her thoughts, Mrs. Wang said, "Actually, I don't know if anyone has framed Madam. I can only tell you that some things cannot be seen on the surface."

Cui Han was stunned for a moment, and then showed a puzzled expression——Aniang knew something, why did she help the people behind the scenes to cover it up?
Seeing her daughter's doubts, Mrs. Wang asked without answering, "Let me ask you, what did you see in the small kitchen? What did you think of? What did you find out?"

Cui Han thought about it for a while, and then said: "Mistress Liu, the lady in charge of the small kitchen, said that grandma likes these foods, and the imperial doctor tried to persuade her, but grandma refused to listen.

In addition, Er looked at the ingredients in the small kitchen, and it seemed that they were not transferred from the big kitchen.Also, Mrs. Liu once mentioned that every time she develops a new dish, the grandmother will reward her with five pennies if she is satisfied with it.

After calculation, if Mrs. Liu presents a new dish every day, grandma will reward her with more than 150 guan. "

And the eldest lady's monthly payment is less than a hundred guan, Cui Han doesn't think that grandma will spend her private money in order to reward slaves.
