Lu Fengyu stared at Su Nuannuan in a daze, and suddenly saw Duan Tingxuan grab her and scolded in a low voice: "How can you have the right to speak in front of the master? What does the life and death of others have to do with us? Have you forgotten the time when they took the credit? They asked for it."
"If you don't like me, you have to say it. I used to talk to the master in Mingyu Villa like this. If the master is angry, just send me back. I really don't like the intrigue in this courtyard." Su Nuannuan glared at Duan Tingxuan, and suddenly kicked him on the calf, angrily scolding: "Are you still a man? You just smile and flatter all day long. Why did I marry a loser like you?"
Duan Tingxuan was anxious and angry. It seemed that he didn't dare to offend his lovely wife. He could only turn his head and smile at Lu Fengyu: "Master, don't bother with her. My wife just has a bad temper. In fact, she is very kind. You see, she doesn't care about those people and even pleads for them."
"OK."
Lu Fengyu sipped his wine glass comfortably, smiling, "There are all kinds of schemes, intrigues, tyranny and everything in my courtyard, but there is no kindness and generosity. I am very happy that Madam Wang fills this gap." After saying that, he pointed to the plate of "Bright Moon Rising from Tianshan Mountain" on the table and laughed, "But Madam Wang's cooking skills are secondary. It is this innovative ability that really refreshes my eyes and ears."
"What innovation?" Su Nuannuan curled her lips and said, "This is a new dish that Anlelou introduced earlier. Later, several restaurants followed suit. After all, the method is very simple." When she said this, she seemed to realize something. She looked up and looked at Lu Fengyu with dissatisfaction and said, "Although I don't know what the master is suspicious of me, and he always speaks in such a sarcastic and innuendo-filled way, but I think. If you have any doubts about the two of us, send us back to Mingyu Villa as soon as possible. To be honest, I really don't want to come to your place. You and I are not compatible."
"You are a cook, and you have such high requirements? I haven't even calculated whether you are compatible with this courtyard, but you know that you are not compatible with it?" Lu Fengyu shook his head and laughed, "Okay. I don't doubt you. But just to say, you don't have to think about Mingyu Villa. Since Su Donglou sent you here, he will not take you back. In the future, just arrange my diet wholeheartedly, and then you will find that I am no worse than Su Donglou."
After he finished speaking, he turned to the beautiful maid who had called Su Nuannuan over earlier and said, "Luqi, I am very satisfied with the food today. I will reward Madam Wang with two taels of silver later."
"yes."
Luqi agreed. Two taels of silver as a reward was really not a small amount. Generally, the monthly salary of the masters or ladies in wealthy mansions was only two taels.
Su Nuannuan cooperated and softened her expression. A cook, no matter how irritable and aloof she was, could not be indifferent to two taels of silver. Her tone became much more gentle, and she said lightly: "Master likes my food. This is the best, but there is one thing. Our Anle Tower in Beijing often renovates the dishes. It is famous for this sign. Because of this, I sometimes like to think of some new dishes by myself. Master, please don't be suspicious because of this. I have a bad temper. I don't know what the master is suspicious of, but if you just let me stick to the old rules and cook dishes that others can cook, I am not very willing. If so, the master doesn't need me to serve meals. He can just call a chef from any restaurant."
Duan Tingxuan's heart tightened. He didn't expect Su Nuannuan to take the test a step further. He smiled and said, "Master, she just speaks so directly. Because of this, it is easiest to offend people..."
Before he could finish, he heard Lu Fengyu laugh and say, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as Madam Wang's meals are always delicious and varied, you will find that I am actually a very gentle and amiable person."
Duan Tingxuan: ...
Su Nuannuan: ...
Watching the couple bowing and leaving, Lu Fengyu scratched his chin, then picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp, then picked up a meatball with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself: No matter what, even if these two people are Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan, I will eat all their delicious food before turning against them. I am really looking forward to it.
Lu Fengyu didn't know the famous saying that if you don't commit suicide, you won't die. Just a dish of "The Moon Rises from Tianshan Mountain" and "Gold and Silver Mix" had already set him on the road to committing suicide. Gold and Silver Mix is the fish stuffed with meat. It is actually very simple. The fish bones are removed from the hairtail fish and the fried meat stuffing is wrapped. The fish flavor is mixed with the meat flavor, and it is seasoned with lily, green vegetables, garlic cloves, etc. It tastes very good.
After returning to the kitchen to eat and drink two cups of tea, she saw Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Zhang and Xiaoyun coming back together. Su Nuannuan looked at them coldly, and Mrs. Zhang and Xiaoyun's eyes were a little evasive, while Mrs. Rong's eyes were full of resentment, but it was also fleeting.
Su Nuannuan sneered, put down the teacup in her hand, and said to Liu's wife and others: "Okay, there should be nothing to do here. Dinner is at twilight hour. Except for those on duty, the rest of you can go back. Come over at twilight hour to prepare the ingredients and cook. It will be in time."
She stood up after she finished speaking, but heard Madam Rong sneer, "Who allowed you to give orders? Do you think this is a kitchen and there are no rules? Madam, have you forgotten? I am the one in charge of the kitchen. You want to be lazy all day long just because you have a little ability. There is no such thing. Since it is still in time to cook at 3 p.m., why not make some sweet soup or stew two bowls of bird's nests now? Who knows when the master will need it?"
"Sister Rong, the sweet soup is ready and is cooling in the pot. I promise it won't delay the master's enjoyment." The Liu family's daughter-in-law said quietly. She didn't want Madam Rong and Su Nuannuan to quarrel with each other. It would be very difficult for her to be caught in the middle.
"Then let's stew the bird's nest." Madam Rong said sternly, "Does it mean that my words are useless in just a short while?"
"Why are you so angry?" Su Nuannuan laughed, "Sister Rong, instead of watching us now, why don't you roll up your trouser legs and check your injuries? Kneeling on such a hard bluestone slab with two tiles on your back, your knees should be skinned, right? Tsk tsk, it hurts just thinking about it."
"you……"
There was no small kitchen in Lu Fengyu's courtyard. The kitchen was in the backyard, closest to the wall, unlike Mingyu Villa, where the small kitchen was in the wing room of the main courtyard. So the people in the kitchen didn't know that Madam Rong and others were punished by the master to kneel. When they heard Su Nuannuan's words, everyone looked a little strange. The women who were originally standing near Madam Rong also quietly moved away.
