Red apricots make spring

Chapter 17 Receiving a Reward
It is not easy to be praised by Mrs. Liu. The other cooks were curious and gathered around one after another. Each of them shared some egg skin fish rolls and tasted them. After tasting, the expressions on their faces were really complicated. There were those who were envious, those who were jealous, and those who were surprised. Only Mrs. Wang, with a dark face and flat mouth, was so annoyed that she wanted to slap herself in the face. Who asked her to talk too much to plead for tenderness, but the joke didn't come true, but made her laugh. The girl turned her face back.

Mrs. Liu looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time to set the meal, so she hurriedly ordered people to bring the dishes that had been prepared to the hall, and prepared to put them on the table after Madam ordered the meal to be served.Rourou found an opportunity, and quietly pleaded with Mrs. Liu: "In case Mrs. and Mrs. ask who made this egg skin fish roll, Mrs. Liu, can you cover it up for me?"

"Why?" Mrs. Liu was surprised. This is obviously a shameful thing, and maybe she can return to serve in the upper room.

Sighing softly, no matter how reluctant she was, she could only take over what Ruhua had done before, blame it on herself, and said with lowered eyebrows: "Sister-in-law Liu, you also know why I was sent to this kitchen. I don't want to go back, and I don't want Mrs. Master to think of me again."

Could it be that this girl was also forced to do that?When Mrs. Liu thought about it, most of the disgust she felt towards Wenrou disappeared in her heart, but she felt a little sympathetic to her, and didn't say much, just nodded in agreement, then turned around and went back to work.

Rourou let out a sigh of relief, went to the firewood room to bring more firewood, and lit a fire under the kitchen.

Not long after the food was placed on it, the servant girl Jinxiu suddenly came, stood at the door of the kitchen and stepped on the threshold and asked inwardly, "Master sent me to ask who made the egg skin fish roll today."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face became even more sour. She just snorted and turned her face away to scold her mother secretly. Mrs. Liu quickly answered, "It's me. Fish, if you dare to cook herring, is the master satisfied?"

Jinxiu didn't answer her, just glanced at Wenrou, then hooked up a penny with her finger and said: "Master rewards you, I ask you to think of more fresh dishes in the future."

Aunt Liu quickly thanked her and took it, and wanted Jinxiu to sit down for tea again. Jinxiu glanced at the messy kitchen, frowned and said, "No, I'm in a hurry to answer!" Then she pulled away and left.

"This girl is also a little vixen!" Seeing that Jinxiu had left, Mrs. Wang turned around and spat, scolding, "Look at how frivolous she is!" As she spoke, she cast a disdainful glance out of the corner of her eye Looking at Wen Rou, that obviously meant that even Wen Wen was scolded together.

Rourou finally understood that Sister-in-Law Wang was a middle-aged angry young man who scolded anyone she caught. It is estimated that none of the maids in the upper room were pleasing to her eyes.

Aunt Liu didn't pay attention to Aunt Wang, she just turned around and threw the bag of money to Rourou: "Take it!"

Ruan Rou held the heavy copper coin in her hand, she was very emotional, no matter how much money she had, this was the first time she had made money since she traveled to this world!It's a pity that it has to be spent before it is warmed up.She sighed secretly, raised her head with a smile, and said to Aunt Liu: "I should be punished for the misfortune I caused yesterday. Sister Liu, you should take the medicine money allocated to Aunt Wang."

Aunt Liu thought for a while and said, "Alright!" Then she took the hanging money and returned Wen Wen's silver-plated hairpin to her.

After the meal was finished, the servants of the Zhao residence usually gathered in a small dining room in a remote part of the residence for dinner. This time Mrs. Liu did not abandon her gentleness. Seeing her clearing up the dishes, she greeted her and said, "Let's eat first." , go back to work."

Following everyone into the small dining room, Rourou saw Xiaohuan sitting in the corner waving to her at a glance, seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to her, she walked over quietly.It was only then that she realized that a thin, frail little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting next to Xiaohuan, and she was also smiling at her. She guessed in her heart that this was probably the bell that Xiaohuan had mentioned earlier, so she smiled back.

"Sister Ruhua, you sit here." Xiaohuan squeezed out a seat for her to sit down, and said with a bitter face, "The candied haws that were reserved for the two of us to eat together are gone!"

"Oh?" Rourou didn't like these sweets at all, and didn't care, just listened to Xiaohuan continue: "Even those two bunches of carved candied haws are gone!"

"How come? Didn't you leave it in the house and didn't take it out?"

Ling'er smiled and said, "It's all my fault. When I was eating candied haws under the flower tree, the third girl saw me. She gave me [-] yuan and sent me to buy it, but it was too late. I don't know where I went, so I had no choice but to come back empty-handed, Xiaohuan, in order to let me do business, gave me all the candied haws made by my sister and took them to the third girl's house."

"That's right. I originally wanted to keep those two strings of carved flowers for myself to play with, but she fell in love with them at the first sight. She said that the third girl must also like them, so she took them together." Xiaohuan curled her lips and said, "" Who knew that the third girl really fell in love with her, so she put the candied haws on the table and put them on the table, which made me slander to death, but I couldn't eat..."

"It's not a good thing either. I'll make it for you next time when I have time." Gentlely smiled and patted Xiaohuan's shoulder, comforting her, but thinking in her heart, she didn't know how old the third girl of the Zhao family was, and why I also like this kind of snacks for children.

Xiaohuan is full of childlike nature, she was worried just now, now she thinks of something fun, she purses her lips and smiles, and whispers: "Sister, the third girl is still praising you today."

"Praise me?" Rou Rou blushed.

"She said that the people who made the candied haws were lucky, and gave Ling'er a hundred dollars to buy them again tomorrow, as long as the carved ones are not for eating, but for looking good."

"Huh?" This means that she has to make candied haws tomorrow?Gentle began to wipe sweat.

"Well, my sister will use this money to buy rock sugar and crabapple fruit, I just ask my sister to make some for me tomorrow, so that I can do business." Ling'er said, and stuffed the copper coins with strings into Wen Rou's hands.

Rourou held a heavy copper coin in her hand, and she didn't recover for a moment.Dare to sell candied haws is also a good business to make a fortune!Bingtang can be bought for only a few copper coins, and the crabapple fruit was picked secretly in Zhao's garden, which is a huge profit!Huge profits!In this way, she had a sudden inspiration in her heart. She felt that if she had capital, she might make a small fortune by making some snacks and pastries and selling them in Zhao's mansion. money……

The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became, but she soon came back to her senses and shook her head secretly, knowing that under the current situation where most people see her and ignore her, the road of food and vending is temporarily impracticable, and it is better to wait until she is familiar with it Everything in the Zhao Mansion, build a good relationship with the people around you, and then try to make money!
