Chapter 27 The Dining Hall
After dinner, two dishwashers placed a wooden basin next to the water tank in the backyard of the dining hall and began to wash the tableware for dinner.
Due to the busy days in the mansion, even the maids in the backyard were transferred to the front yard to help. Not many people had time to go back to the maid's dining hall in the backyard to eat. Hua Mian thought of the night before yesterday when she had just finished her work in the dining hall and returned to the maid's courtyard.
In the room, Xiaocui ran over and complained to him about the food in the canteen in the front yard for a long time.
There are a total of five dining halls in Sikong Mansion, three in the front yard and two in the back. The large dining hall in the front yard is used by the masters and guests of the house. The second level is used by the housekeepers, stewards, personal maids, and bodyguards.
The first level is for the use of workers, including outside handymen and helpers. There are two dining halls in the backyard. The smaller one is reserved for maids, and the larger one is open to anyone in the house without restrictions.
However, the rooms of the ladies, young masters and ladies in the mansion are all equipped with small kitchens, so the dining hall in the front yard is not often used. As a result, the dining hall is understaffed during a period of time when the mansion is crowded with visitors.
"I have been in the mansion for eight years, and this is the first time I feel that the food in the dining hall is so unpalatable." Hua Mian recalled that Xiaocui held her hand with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister Hua Mian, I am used to eating your food."
, and then went to the big dining hall to eat, only to find that there was also a gap between the food." If she hadn't been so busy that she couldn't leave, Xiao Cui would have sneaked back to the small dining hall in the backyard.
Hua Mian has never understood why the sect followed by the whole country has so many restrictions on food and has been able to do so for nearly 400 years. If it were herself, not being able to eat delicious food would be worse than death.
"Miss Hua Mian, the tableware has been washed and the dining room floor has been cleaned. Do you think there is any more work to be done?" The cleaning worker came over and lowered her hands and said. Since Sister Liu went to the big kitchen to help, the maid dining room was originally
Sister Feng, who was in charge of cleaning, also followed her. Sister Liu temporarily hired two workers to help Hua Mian with the cleaning work.
"Today's work has been completed. Thank you for your hard work." Not many people have come to the canteen these days, and the cleaning work after the meal has ended much earlier than Hua Mian expected. "You two can go back first."
The two workers said goodbye, and Hua Mian went back to the kitchen to see the puddings she had been thinking about for a long time.
Picking up a white porcelain cup with pudding and a small porcelain spoon, Hua Mian chose to sit by the flower bed in front of the yard to eat supper today. At this time, the caramel on the top of the pudding had completely solidified. When she poked it with the spoon, the pudding was soft.
The touch of the spoon is transferred to the hand. Take a spoonful and look in through the gap in the pudding. You can see the golden pudding shaking slightly. The aroma of milk is mixed with the sweet aroma of honey in the air. Compared with trying it in the afternoon,
That pudding, now this one has a mature taste after the ingredients are mixed together.
The hardness of the caramel is just right. Compared with the softness of the caramel on the test pudding, the caramel in this pudding can be said to be perfectly condensed. Hua Mian ate the pudding one spoon after another, and the spoon and the porcelain cup interacted with each other.
The collision made a pleasant sound of "Ding Ding Dang". The night wind carried the sound of silk and bamboo at the banquet in the front yard far away. Although it was not audible clearly, but paired with the impact of the porcelain in the hand, it was actually possible.
Taste some different artistic conceptions.
"Sister Huamian"
Just when Hua Mian was intoxicated by the music, a person suddenly jumped out from beside her.
"Sister Ye Hua" Hua Mian also became happy when she saw the person coming. This sister's temper was very compatible with hers, so she was a bit happy to see her come to Hua Mian. However, there was no banquet in the front yard right now.
