the Underworld

Zhao Xiwei picked up a piece of cabbage, first smelled it, then took a small bite, put down the chopsticks, and told lightly: "Put these things that are not intact."

Everyone was puzzled and saw her standing up with her sleeves and said, "Don't there be vegetables in our Rose Garden? Ask Mama Liu to get some vegetables in the garden and prepare supper."

Jinxiu responded and went to the kitchen to explain.

Yin Bao followed up angrily: "Miss, I think the kitchen is on purpose! Will we eat the carrots and cabbage in this garden for three meals a day?"

Pearl interrupted her with a quick look: "You can say less. The kitchen may have been negligent for a while, and this situation is also true. Be patient and calm for a while, don't cause any other trouble."

Magnolia was carrying a bamboo basket, and several people chose a handful of mustard greens, a white radish, and a cabbage.

Several maids used to be first-class girls and never went to the kitchen. Fortunately, mother Liu used to live in the countryside, so she personally cooked and ordered the little maid to burn the stove first, put the rice into the pot and steamed it, and mother Liu started cooking.

Zhao Xiwei stood in the corridor and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile.

The third lady really wanted to help her, so she specially chose a servant like Mama Liu to come over. Maybe she had seen through it and would have been treated coldly, right?

After a while, Mother Liu brought the dishes to the table.

A plate of vinegar and shredded radish, cut each piece of it finely; a plate of fried radish seedlings, only two inches long, are very fresh and tender; a plate of sour and sour cabbage is covered with red and delicate spicy powder; and a bowl of steaming mustard soup, radiating the unique fragrance of wild vegetables.

"Miss, how about you try it?" Mother Liu said with a smile.

Jinxiu and Zhenzhu immediately stood on both sides. Zhao Xiwei sat down as if no one was around. He picked up a chopstick of shredded radish. The entrance was sweet and crispy. He smiled and nodded, and showed a look of approval at Mother Liu.

Zhao Xi is not picky about food, and Liu's mother is really good at cooking, so she eats all vegetables and enjoys delicious food.

But Mother Liu was very sad and rubbed her hands and said, "When the spring is coming next year, I will plant various seasonal vegetables and fruits in the garden to ensure that the lady has a great time."

After using the rice, Pearl hurriedly brought the hot tea over.

Zhao Xiwei took the tea and rinsed his mouth, washed his hands in the copper basin, and then called Jinxiu and said, "Go to the big kitchen and call my mother who is on duty today."

The maids looked at each other, and Jinxiu reacted as soon as possible and said with a smile: "Yes, I'll go now."

Yin Bao had long been unable to bear it: "Miss, the people in the big kitchen are too slouching. Who is not a delicacy for the owner of each house? Last time, the fourth lady was sick and wanted to eat fresh bamboo shoots and chicken soup. The soup was simmered with chicken, duck meat, and pork bones for a full simmer for two hours, and then used fresh pine mushroom soup. As a result, the fourth lady felt too tired and vomited. The old lady got angry on the spot and said, "I know you don't have the intention to cook, so why do you do your best to change to a few. The mothers in the big kitchen were so scared that their faces were as white as paper, and they went to make the second pot with a long time. Why did you have to eat radish and cabbage when you arrived! "

"Okay, okay, now is different from the past." Zhenzhu pulled her sleeve, looked at Zhao Xiwei again, and said with a bitter face: "Miss, don't listen to her nonsense. The kitchen is not in sufficient staff, and sometimes it is also careless in doing things."

Magnolia pursed her lips, thinking.

Zhao Xi pointed his hand slightly and raised his eyebrows and said, "Magnolia, say it."

Yulan then gave a gift and said, "Miss I don't know anything. Mother Ding, who is in charge of the big kitchen, has a girl named Cuilian, who works with Miss No. 5."

She looked at Zhao Xiwei worriedly: "Miss, it's time to talk to the big kitchen, but I'm afraid the second wife will find out that she is not having a good time."

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "How do you say this?"

It’s not that she couldn’t see this interest clearly, but she wanted to use this matter to observe the reactions of several maids.

Jinxiu is smart but reserved. It is difficult to give sincerity without training.

Yinbao is lively and straightforward, but too impulsive. He is prone to cause major disasters when encountering enemies.

Pearl is content with oneself, but is timid and afraid of things. When encountering trouble, it is easy to become a turtle.

However, Magnolia is calm and calm, but is too indecisive and not suitable for taking on major responsibilities.

"Yes." Yulan said carefully, "Second Lady has been helping the second master to manage the shop business outside since she passed by."

"Even the old lady praised her for being both talented and intelligent, and not being allowed to be a beloved man. Therefore, although she does not have the right to be a housekeeper, her status is the same as our eldest lady."

"Our eldest lady is also very close to her... If the lady wants to pursue this matter, she will be unhappy. After all, she is your nominal mother."

Zhao Xi smiled. She knew that the people in the Zhao family would not recognize her easily. But unexpectedly, even her maid did not regard her as her master.

If the big kitchen dares to give her leftovers, she, as the master, cannot hold her accountable?

At this moment, a beautiful voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Miss, Mother Ding is here."

Ding's mother looks about thirty years old, she has a tall figure, a square face, a prominent eyebrows, and a shiny look in her eyes, but she has the majesty of her mother in charge.

She asked Zhao Xiwei for peace, but Zhao Xiwei responded lightly, but did not ask her to sit down.

She then lowered her hands and waited in place.

Zhao Xiwei served the tea and savored it slowly.

The four maids stood alone, their faces were clear, but they were all curious about how their new master would hold Ding’s mother accountable?

Yin Bao is most anxious. She has been a maid for so long and has never eaten leftovers. Now she is going to be bullied by people in the big kitchen. She is already so angry that she is itchy. She only hopes that Zhao Xiwei's order will give her a good breath.

Seeing that a cup of tea was about to finish, Zhao Xi didn't even say anything, he coughed and said, "Does Mama Ding know why our lady invite you to Rose Garden?"

Mother Ding was in charge of the errands of dozens of people in the kitchen, but how could she be frightened by a little maid? She also coughed and replied, "I'm confused, I hope Miss Yinbao will tell me."

Zhao Xiwei put down the teacup and smiled slightly, "There is nothing else. I just heard that Ding's mother has a good cooking skills and wants to share cooking skills with her mother."

He smiled and called out, "Yinbao, go and bring the food box."

"Yes!" Yin Bao went away angrily.

Then Ding's mother's face became a little darker.

Pearl quietly took a step back to Duobaoge next to her, and usually looked at his master from the corner of his eyes.

Yulan frowned. Although she hoped that the lady would fight back against Ding's mother, no one dared to say what the consequences would be...

Pearl glanced at Ding's mother, her eyes full of worry: I will offend the eldest and second wife at once!
