Is it because I've been eating out too much lately? Although Aunt Qin's cooking is delicious, it feels like something's missing.
The seafood soup wasn't as good as last time, and the dishes didn't taste the same either.
"Aunt Qin, was the lunch last time made by that new maid?"
"This...yes, young master, why did you suddenly bring her up?" Aunt Qin originally wanted to say it was Bai Xiaoruo directly. Every ingredient, from washing and picking vegetables to adding seasonings and packing boxes, was done by the young mistress herself. However, recently the relationship between the young mistress and the young master has not been good, and the young mistress often tells Aunt Qin not to mention her to Xuan Mingyu. Aunt Qin thought it would be better for the young master to discover the young mistress's goodness himself.
"It's nothing, it's just that the seafood soup she made was quite delicious. But I don't like people I don't know well getting close to me. When you have time, have Uncle Bi bring me her information. Even if it's a newly hired maid, I need to see her before I feel at ease."
"material?"
Bai Xiaoruo is the young mistress of the Xuan family, not a real maid, so where would she get any information?
Aunt Qin was getting anxious, afraid that telling Xian Mingyu directly would upset him, so she had to cover it up for Bai Xiaoruo again. "Well, young master, she, she wasn't actually hired by me and Lao Bi. We saw her at the door one day, and she looked so pitiful all alone, so we helped her out and let her work here for now."
"So, she was picked up from the roadside?" Xuan Mingyu asked incredulously.
"Pretty much, you could say that. She's very hardworking and efficient. Young master, let's not be so picky, shall we? Besides, don't you quite like her soup?"
Bai Xiaoruo went to school today, so Aunt Qin didn't ask her how to make seafood soup. She just stewed bone broth and sent it to Xian Mingyu.
“No, we can’t keep that kind of person. No matter how well a girl with an unknown identity does housework or cooks, we can’t just leave her in the Xian family. What if she carries some bacteria or has other purposes? It will be too late to take precautions then.”
