Chapter 263 Trouble
Lu Shuqi was already married, and in the twelfth lunar month, someone came to her door to propose marriage.

Let her learn how to handle the banquet now, and she will be able to deal with such a scene when she is married to her in-laws in the future.

The eldest lady's intentions are very clear.

The old lady Lu didn't refuse, but said: "That's fine, then call her in. Take advantage of this opportunity, and you should teach her well, don't marry into your in-law's house in the future and you will do nothing, and you will lose face for nothing."

The eldest lady agreed with a smile, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Lu Shuqi over.

Lu Shuyi was sitting on a pear wood table with a pen in her mouth, looking very worried.

Mr. Bai is very picky about his food, can the chef of the Lu family cook what he likes?
She frowned and thought, and asked Dongmei with her head tilted: "What do you think of braised quail?"

She remembered that Mr. Bai liked to eat quail. The meat of quail was very tender and tasted good.

Dongmei smiled bitterly, and reminded: "Miss San, isn't it hard to get quail this season?"

Lu Shuyi let out a sigh of relief, and nodded her head disappointedly: "That's true, the weather is so cold, there shouldn't be any quail for sale in the market."

She lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment, then opened her eyes again and said, "What about the steamed shad?"

Mr. Bai also likes to eat this dish.

In the previous life, Mr. Bai took her to the south to see the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. She ate it once at Yipinlou in Yangzhou Prefecture, and the taste was absolutely delicious.

Dongmei smiled bitterly again: "This shad is not a fish of this season, it must be hard to find now..."

Yes, shad is only found in summer, and most of them can be found in the south. Now that spring has not yet started, this kind of fish cannot be found at all.

Lu Shuyi's expression was gloomy again, biting the pen holder and unable to write for a long time, she just sighed: "It's really difficult, the dishes I came up with lacked ingredients and couldn't be made, and the ones I could make were not tasty..."

Mother You smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous, it's the first time you've helped the old lady do such a thing, even if you don't do it well, the old lady will give you some pointers." , most of them are four cold dishes and eight hot dishes. And the eight hot dishes are divided into four meat and four vegetarian dishes. These dishes don’t matter, as long as they can meet the identity of the Lu family and don’t lose face.”

"...Of course, a guest like Mr. Bai is also a distinguished guest. You can add two big dishes and a hot soup. This table is basically enough."

"As for dim sum, four or five items are fine, not too many, as long as they are delicate and beautiful."

She knows all the rules Nanny You said, but she wants Mr. Bai to eat better and doesn't want to be perfunctory.

She still smiled and thanked Mother You: "Thank you for your suggestion."

Nanny You said with kindness and kindness on her face: "You are still young after all, if you experience more such things in the future, you won't be so worried."

Lu Shuyi smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will write as you said."

She finally decided on a few dishes that Mr. Bai liked to eat, and added a few dishes that Lu's cook was good at, and then gave the written menu to Mrs. Lu for review.

Mrs. Lu looked it over carefully, thought for a while and said, "Swap the shrimps and winter bamboo shoots with tangerine peel beef." She said, "The shrimps in this season are not delicious enough, and the taste is much worse than other seasons, so it's better not to let them go." .”

Lu Shuyi nodded: "Then change it as you said."

"Well, the arrangements for other dishes are very good, especially this dish of rising and booming, which has a very good meaning." Mrs. Lu smiled and handed the menu to Madam Qian, and explained: "Let the kitchen prepare the dishes according to the menu. Follow this and tell them that if you do it well, you will be rewarded."

Nanny Qian responded.

The old lady Lu took Lu Shuyi's hand and told her to take a few steps forward, and praised with a smile, "You did a good job."

Lu Shuyi smiled modestly, and said slowly: "It's all thanks to Mother You's suggestion, otherwise I don't know how many dishes to put."

Nanny You hurriedly said: "This is what slaves should do."

The old lady Lu showed a smile on her face, and said firmly: "You are an old mother, and you will have to mention more three girls in the future. She is young and has not experienced many things."

After speaking, he took off a red silver ring with a ruby ​​inlaid on his hand, and gave it to Mother You.

Nanny You had never been rewarded by Mrs. Lu, this was the first time she had.

She was really flattered, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and said: "It's all a servant's job, and the servant didn't do anything..."

"You can take it if I give it to you." Mrs. Lu asked Le'er to hand the ring to Nanny You, and said, "In the future, you will be more dedicated to the third girl's room."

Aunt You was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Lu never cared about their room before, but now her attitude has changed drastically.

Is it because of Mr. Bai?

Being favored or not being favored, there are indeed interests involved.

Nanny You respectfully took the ring from Le'er's hand: "My servant, I would like to thank the old lady for the reward. I will definitely serve the third lady wholeheartedly in the future."

The old lady Lu nodded in satisfaction.

At that time, there was no one else in the room, so she dismissed all the maids and women, leaving only Lu Shuyi to speak.

She opened her mouth and talked about what she said about her marriage to Chai Xiu'e in the morning: "...you also know that our Lu family still relies on the He family's influence in some places, and I can't answer Mrs. He's request." The corner of the old lady Lu's eyes Yu Guang left Lu Shuyi behind, and continued: "Although it didn't work out, I'm afraid that I've scared that child, Xiu'e. She's timid and has no relatives around her. I'm afraid she won't have anything to say if she's wronged. , feeling bored in my heart..."

The old lady Lu was inquiring about Chai Xiu'e's situation tactfully.

Probably because Mr. Bai came.

Mrs. Lu was afraid that Chai Xiu'e would be full of grievances because of what happened in the morning, and she might cry when she saw Mr. Bai. At that time, Mr. Bai's impression of the Lu family would be greatly reduced, and she might bring Chai Xiu'e back with her.

If that's the case, it will be difficult to catch up with this elusive Mr. Bai in the future.

"...How is she feeling? Did she say anything to you?" Mrs. Lu collected herself and looked at Lu Shuyi without blinking.

Lu Shuyi's heart was clear, she only frowned and said: "She was in a bad mood after she went back, and she even cried a lot, her eyes were swollen from crying."

Old Madam Lu's face sank when she heard this, her eyebrows shrank two inches, and she said with a worried face: "Really? Then what did she say to complain about me?"

"Eh... this..." Lu Shuyi's expression of not being able to speak, whetted the appetite of Old Madam Lu.

The old lady Lu became more anxious, and urged: "Don't worry about it, tell me everything she said, and I won't be angry even if there is something unpleasant."

　Thanks to Brendan's mother for the pink vote, thanks to Hei Ye for covering up the sorrow and Wu Qianyu for the reward of peace, okay~
