Very regular.
Whether it's eating in the morning, eating at noon, or eating at night, when I have to do it myself, I won't do everything by myself. After teaching Aunt Xu many methods, I found that many dishes are easy to make. I just need to explain it briefly and she will do the last step directly.
In this way, apart from eating, she has a lot of free time, which she uses to rest or read.
After lunch every day, I read for a while and then take a nap.
Today is no exception.
The master had rested, and Shui Yu and the others could also rest for a while. Yan Qiushu slept in the inner room, and she slept in the compartment. This was where the maids kept watch at night. Although Yan Qiushu didn't need it, the maids' sleeping places were not as good as here, so she let Shui Yu rest here.
She had fallen asleep early at this time, but Shui Yu was a maid, so she had to tidy up for a while and get everything ready for her before going to bed.
This time it was a quarter of an hour late.
It was also a quarter of an hour's difference. When she lay on the bed, Yan Qiushu fell asleep, but she was just beginning to feel sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell into a daze when she suddenly smelled a fragrance.
Very light, yet very strong.
The fragrance is indescribable, like a mixture of many things, exuding just the right amount of meaty aroma.
But soon, the fragrance became stronger and stronger.
It was so strong that even though Shui Xuan's eyes were already a little sleepy, she still couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was particularly active because of the fragrance, and she subconsciously wondered where this fragrance came from.
After an unknown amount of time, Shui Yu finally fell asleep. However, in her dream, she was still dominated by the fragrance, which was filled with all kinds of delicious food she had tasted recently, but she couldn't eat it. She couldn't get satisfaction and felt uncomfortable and upset.
When she woke up and looked at the beams above her head, she suddenly realized that it was just a dream and only the lingering fragrance was real.
Shui Yu looked at the sky outside and vaguely calculated the time. She had only slept for a short while and there was no obvious change in the sky. But she couldn't sleep anymore. She got up quietly, went out, and opened the door. The fragrance was so strong!
At this time, the other maids in the yard and Aunt Xu were squatting at the kitchen door, staring at the source of the fragrance.
In addition to them, there were also maids from other courtyards who were probably attracted by the fragrance and were leaning against the courtyard gate to look inside. It looked like a big scene.
Although their yard is often bustling with people, it is rarely so lively, with all of them coming together and not leaving!
Shui Yu walked over with a dazed look on her face: "Madam Xu, what's going on?"
Aunt Xu wiped the saliva that might have flowed from the corner of her mouth, pointed at the pot that was still bubbling, and said in wonder with admiration: "Look, the braised food that the young lady said she would make is getting more and more fragrant. It's so fragrant that I can't sit still. They also came here because of the smell. It was obviously very smelly before, but now there is no smell at all."
Shui Yu: “???”
Pig offal can actually smell so good?!
She swallowed, unable to believe it, but had to admit it. Even she herself couldn't sleep because of her greed. You know, she had eaten so many delicious foods with Yan Qiushu recently!
They were talking there, and the people squatting nearby also listened. When they didn't get the answer they wanted, they asked, "Shui Yu, what is your daughter doing? It smells so good!"
"Yes, my lady is so greedy that she asked me to ask what this is for."
"The same goes for the eldest young master and the young mistress! They were resting, but now they can't rest any more!"
Another maid whispered, "Young Master Pingyu is so greedy that he's drooling and can't concentrate on reading. The Third Miss urged me to come and ask him something!"
Shui Yu's face froze, not for any other reason, but because she was thinking, if she gave this thing to them, would they... eat it?
Especially Young Master Ping Yu...
