Mu Yundie was stunned: "I want to be friends with her? She is just a lowly cook, is she worthy?"
"But you just saw how polite Mrs. Zhang was to her!" said Aunt Chen. "Think about it. In the past six months, Song Tuanyuan has gone from an unknown country woman to a celebrity around Mrs. Zhang. And Ji
The young master also never forgets her, oh, he never forgets her cooking skills, she is very capable!"
Mu Yundie stood up immediately: "You are right, Brother Ji had a bad appetite when he was in Tiancheng. I saw that the food cooked by Mrs. Song was very delicious. If I can learn this cooking skill, maybe Ji
My brother will never leave me!"
Aunt Chen nodded: "Now Song Tuanyuan's second son will take part in the imperial examination next year. This time I happen to be the person in charge of the imperial examination. Mrs. Zhang has just told her that if the young lady is willing to take the initiative to get close to her, she will definitely
Willing."
Mu Yundie nodded: "You have a good idea, I will go find her today!"
Grandma Chen shook her head: "No, you can't be too deliberate. You are like this..."
Grandma Chen whispered in Mu Yundie's ear, and Mu Yundie nodded repeatedly.
Song Tuanyuan was taking care of the two children when the wet nurse came over and said, "Aunt Song, Madam wants you to go to the kitchen!"
Song Tuanyuan nodded, handed the child to the nanny, and went to the kitchen.
In the small kitchen, Mu Yundie and Mrs. Chengfu were standing together. The woman in the kitchen was making something, but the pot had been burnt, and there was a burst of smoke.
Seeing Mu Yundie, Song Tuanyuan became a little wary. She stepped forward and asked, "Mrs. Zhang, do you have anything to do with me?"
Mrs. Chengfu said quickly: "Tuanyuan, can you make syrup?"
Before Song Tuanyuan could say anything, Mu Yundie quickly said: "Ms. Song will definitely do it!"
Mu Yundie turned to Song Tuanyuan: "Ms. Song, can you help me see how to cook this glutinous rice? We want to eat glutinous apples!"
Song Tuanyuan was stunned. A sugary apple? Could it be a caramelized apple?
Mrs. Chengfu looked at Song Tuanyuan and said: "Miss Mu said that there is a sweet in Tiancheng called Tangy Apple, which is delicious. The master always likes sweets, so I thought about making it for him. Who knows, the candy got boiled, what happened?
I can’t even stand it!”
Mrs. Chengfu looked at the syrup that was blackly stained on the bottom of the pot and frowned tightly.
Recently, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang had a disagreement. Mr. Zhang has not returned home for several days and has been living in the front office. Song Tuanyuan only found out about it after he returned.
So Mrs. Chengfu may want to use this carrot apple to reconcile with Mr. Zhang.
Seeing Mu Yundie's presence, Song Tuanyuan didn't want to take action, but because Mrs. Chengfu treated her well, she stepped forward and said, "This needs to be boiled over low heat. If these are not working anymore, wash the pot and boil it again."
!”
The mother-in-law responded quickly.
When the oil boils, Song Tuanyuan pours in the white sugar, simmers it slowly, and waits for the sugar to turn golden brown. Then he puts the sliced apples in and wraps them fully.
The shredded apple is ready, shiny and delicious at first glance.
"Mrs. Chengfu, this food should be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold!" Song Tuanyuan said, "While it's still hot, send it to Master Zhang as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Chengfu raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Yundie.
"I want Mrs. Song to take me around the yard. I'm waiting for you, madam!" Mu Yundie said.
Mrs. Chengfu was relieved and happily carried the carrot apples to the front yard.
Mu Yundie looked at Mrs. Chengfu's back and said, "Mrs. Chengfu will definitely please Mr. Zhang this time!"
Song Tuanyuan said nothing.
Mu Yundie looked at Song Tuanyuan: "Of course, your contribution is indispensable for this, I believe Mrs. Chengfu will be even more inseparable from you!"
Song Tuanyuan smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Mu!"
"What's the point of thanking you verbally? Why don't you take some action, Mrs. Song?" Mu Yundie looked at Song Tuanyuan with a smile.
Song Tuanyuan frowned, she was just being polite, but Mu Yundie still climbed up?
"Aunt Song, your cooking skills are so good, can you teach me how to cook a few dishes? Just the dishes that Brother Ji likes to eat the most?" Mu Yundie asked with a smile, "As long as you are willing to teach me,
I will naturally put in a good word for you, Mr. Chengfu, and for next year’s imperial examination, I will also ask dad to pay more attention to your second boy!"
Song Tuanyuan was stunned for a moment. Mu Yundie wanted to learn how to cook, and she also learned the dishes that Ji Changan liked to eat. It seemed that Mu Yundie and Ji Changan were really close!
Song Tuanyuan thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Chengfu, there is no need for Miss Mu to say more. Whether my second boy can pass the exam depends on his knowledge. If a few dishes can be exchanged for a scholar, isn't that too much?"
I'm sorry for the other candidates? Besides, if my second boy finds out, I'm sorry for his hard study all these years!"
There were dozens of people involved in the imperial examination from issuing the test papers to invigilating the examination. Even if Mu Silu was the person in charge, if Song Fujin was not good at learning, he would not have been allowed to pass the exam just because of a few dishes.
Mu Yundie was a little unhappy: "Then you mean you don't want to teach me anymore?"
Song Tuanyuan smiled: "It's just a few dishes. In fact, Miss Mu doesn't need to put so much thought into it. I'm willing to teach you!"
Mu Yundie was about to get angry, but when Song Tuanyuan said these words, she was completely discouraged.
"Are you really willing to teach me for free?" Mu Yundie asked in disbelief.
"It can't be said to be a Baijiao. How about ten taels of silver per dish? After all, this is my ability to eat!" Song Tuanyuan said with a smile.
Mu Yundie was stunned. She thought Song Tuanyuan was trying to please her. She didn't say anything but actually wanted to please her. However, she didn't expect that Song Tuanyuan actually wanted money.
Is his son's high school success less important than dozens of taels of silver?
Mu Yundie suddenly felt that she was really stupid for targeting Song Tuanyuan before. A country woman was a country woman, she was very short-sighted and only had immediate interests.
"Okay!" Mu Yundie agreed.
Song Tuanyuan smiled and said: "That's just right. I'm free these days. Wherever Miss Mu will stay, I'll go and teach Miss Mu how to cook!"
Mu Yundie nodded: "I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow!"
Song Tuanyuan nodded.
Mu Yundie left happily.
When Mrs. Chengfu came back and saw Mu Yundie gone, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "Did I treat her lightly?"
Song Tuanyuan asked with a smile: "Miss Mu asked me to teach her how to cook tomorrow. I'm going back to prepare things now. It has nothing to do with Madam!"
Mrs. Chengfu was stunned and said, "She wants to learn to cook?"
Song Tuanyuan nodded: "I have already agreed. Before my second son goes on vacation, I will teach her half a day every day."
Mrs. Chengfu was very pleased: "That's good. I saw her attitude towards you earlier, and I was worried about your second son's imperial examination next year!"
"It's okay, what's his is his after all!" Song Tuanyuan smiled.
"You are quite calm!" Mrs. Chengfu's eyes were full of admiration.
Although Song Tuanyuan was born in the countryside, he did not rush for success, had a calm mind, and did things neatly, which was better than many ladies in high positions.
