Qingluo couldn't guess Li Haitang's thoughts, but she didn't ask more, thinking that tomorrow's banquet for the ladies of various provinces would always see some clues.The little master trusts her very much, and some things are not said beforehand, and he will talk to her afterwards as if he was at home.Li Haitang asked Qingluo to go to Yang and let them go together to prepare for tomorrow's banquet, and she had to think about something quietly alone.Qingluo promised to go out, and asked Mai Miao to guard the door and not allow anyone to disturb her, even if the master came, she would persuade her to go back.Seeing Qingluo's serious advice, Mai Miao sensed that something big was about to happen, so she became cautious and moved a stool to sit at the door.Li Haitang locked herself in her bedroom all night, and slept without even eating dinner.Outside the door, Yang Chang Yan, Li Yan Yan, Qing Luo, and Mai Miao were a little restless, and they wanted to break into the door several times but were afraid that they would really disturb Haitang.The four of them wandered at the door all night, until the rooster crowed at dawn, and the bedroom door finally "creaked" open."
Sister Qingluo, the big girl is up."
Mai Miao, who was sitting at the door, carried a stool and ran to the staircase, saying, "Big girl, wait, the slave and maid will go and fetch water." ”Qingluo came upstairs with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, hurriedly put the tray on the table of the Eight Immortals, walked hurriedly to help Li Haitang, and took her to sit on the Luohan bed in the small guest room. ”"It's fine."
Li Haitang rubbed his slightly sore arm and said, "Whoever came in and covered me with the quilt last night forgot to leave a lamp."
When I got up in the middle of the night to go to Xiao Gong's room, I almost tripped over the leg of a chair. ”Qingluo was slightly stunned, thinking that the four of them would stay outside the door all night, and the person who could cover the quilt for the little master must be the master.It seems that the master is angry, and he still can't let go of the little master."
Big girl, Mr.
Painter must have sneaked in to see you."
Mai Miao brought the washing water and said, "Mr.
Painter beat the big girl yesterday, and I should not come to see it." ”Qingluo teased: "Well, you're smart."
Go and bring the bird's nest porridge, the eldest girl didn't eat dinner, and she must be hungry now. ”"How many dishes does Chef Liu prepare?
How many snacks?
Let her not feel distressed today, and dig out a jar of peach blossom brew buried under the magnolia tree for the ladies of various provinces to taste. ”Li Haitang asked while washing her face, tilted her head and saw that Yang Yan's grandmother was leading Chef Liu upstairs, and said with a smile: "You guys came just in time, let's talk about how many delicious things to arrange for today's luncheon." ”Chef Liu laughed embarrassedly twice, and elbowed Yang Yan's sister-in-law, "Old sister, I'm stupid, let's talk about it." ”"Cheng, I said."
Yang Yanyan took out a recipe from her sleeve and said, "Big girl, Liu Erniang's hand was injured when she chopped the pig's bones yesterday, and her hands were swollen like pig's trotters.The old slave really had no choice but to ask the lazy mother-in-law to come over to help, and then Liu Erniang taught everyone to do it together before listing these dishes and snacks.The big girl looks, if it doesn't work, the old slave will find another way. ”Li Haitang wiped her face dry, let Qingluo and Mai Miao comb her hair with makeup, she carefully read the names of each dish and dim sum on the menu, and said: "It's really hard for you to list such a good recipe, my impromptu banquet has caused you trouble, thank you." ”Yang and Chef Liu knelt down and kowtowed in shame."
The old slave can bear the big girl's thanks.""
Yes, this is my business, I don't dare to be a big girl."
Li Haitang asked Mai Miao to help the two of them up, returned the recipe to Yang Yan's sister-in-law, looked at Chef Liu's red and swollen hands, and said: "Today's name is Dim Sum Banquet, the dishes are few and fine, and one plate of those dim sum we eat when we have fun on weekdays is enough."
The recipe is reserved for the July Flower Dynasty Festival, and a few more dishes will be added, so let's keep it first. ”"Thank you for the size of the eldest girl, the old slave will go to Anpai."
Yang Changyan is secretly happy in her heart, she and Li Changchang often mix in the back kitchen to help make snacks, and now they can finally show their skills.Chef Liu was also secretly relieved, her hands still needed a few days to recover, and it was beneficial to let others do it for her today."
Let Qingluo give you the plaster to reduce swelling and stasis in a while, and hand over the food in the past few days to Yang and Li Yan, you are so good to take care of it so as not to fall into the root of the disease."
Li Haitang instructed Yang to lead a few old women to the water pavilion in the East Garden to clean it up, and the banquet was placed in the water pavilion, and then a few pots of flowers were moved to decorate the occasion.Sister-in-law Yang led the errand and went with Chef Liu.Qingluo brought bird's nest porridge and said, "Big girl, Grandma Yang is busy with the affairs of the kitchen yard and the water pavilion, so it is better to let the slave maid go to the gate to greet the ladies of the various mansions." ”"If you don't say it, I'll send you to meet it.When the ladies of each province come, you must pay attention to the five ladies of Mo, Wu, Yan, Dian and Cheng. ”"Don't worry, big girl, the slave will pay attention."
Qingluo went to the gate to greet the ladies of the various provinces, and Mai Miao, who stayed behind, stood next to her sullenly, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking."
Do you think I'm partial to Qingluo?"
Li Haitang took a small bite of bird's nest porridge, and her cold question made Mai Miao tremble and kneel on the ground."
You have to learn to fight wits with those calculating ladies to learn how to balance thousands of pounds, you are short-tempered and a hot and impatient, and it is easy to be calculated by them.""
The big girl just looks down on the slave maid, and the slave maid knows that she is a small person and is not worthy of the trust of the big girl."
Mai Miao said aggrievedly, tears flowing.Li Haitang was so anxious that she put down the bowl, pulled the wheat seedlings with one hand, wiped her tears with the other, and said: "Stupid sister, Qingluo is stable and naturally has her good, and you are upright and loyal, how can I favor her and despise you." ”"It's okay, the slave knows ...... stupid" "Ouch, my good sister, stop it."
Me, can I make it by hitting my mouth?
”Li Haitang was ruthless and slapped herself, which frightened Mai Miao and looked at her in disbelief with teary eyes."
Good sister, please, I really don't mean to despise you, don't think nonsense."
Li Haitang felt that he really didn't have the high skills to coax people, so the next time he saw Mo Shenghuan, he asked carefully, and he also learned two tricks to coax people.Mai Miao wiped away her tears, stroked half of Begonia's face distressedly, and said, "What's the trouble of the big girl, it's all the slave's fault."
Slaves and maids should be damned!
It's time to fight!
”"Don't!"
Li Haitang grabbed Mai Miao's hand to slap herself in the mouth, "Good sister, none of us should beat ourselves in the mouth again."
After a while, the ladies of the provinces will come, and I will do my best to deal with them.You have to give me a good hand, and don't let them see the flaws. ”"What do you mean by the big girl?""
Come here with your ears."
Li Haitang hooked her fingers, and Mai Miao half-knelt in front of Luohan's bed with a crooked face.The master and servant discussed it quietly, and they both showed sly smiles.A little maid came up to the second floor, stood outside the door of the small guest room and said respectfully: "Eldest girl, the ladies of the various provinces have taken them to the water pavilion in the East Garden.Sister Qingluo ordered the slave maid to come and invite the eldest girl over. ”"Got it, you go to the back kitchen to find Grandma Yang and tell her to eat in about half an hour.""
Yes."
The little maid ran downstairs to spread the word.Mai Miao accompanied Li Haitang back to the bedroom to change clothes, and then went to the water pavilion in the east garden to meet the ladies of various provinces.() Glory to the end
