Chapter 56: Visiting the Vegetable Garden (the third update)
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Du Jingyi's appetite also increased.
Just by listening, I felt a little hungry, so Du Jingyi said with a smile.
"Dan Ruo is really amazing. Breakfast hasn't even been prepared yet, but you've already thought about what to make for lunch. Come on, take me to see what we're having for breakfast."
Dan Ruo heard what she said, but did not stop her.
They cleaned the small kitchen every day, so it wouldn't be a big deal even if the young lady wanted to go in and take a look.
From the vegetable garden to the door of the small kitchen.
The master and his servants smelled the fragrance before they even entered.
The steamer near the wall was bubbling with steam, and it was obvious that something delicious was being steamed.
There were three cooks in the small kitchen. They were a little plump, but they kept themselves very neat and tidy.
He rubbed the knife in his hand and quickly cut the filaments.
They were not surprised to see Du Jingyi come in.
After all, Du Jingyi used to come over to take a look around this small kitchen from time to time.
Moreover, there is a piece of open space in front of the vegetable garden, and there are wooden benches and wooden tables.
Sometimes, Du Jingyi would have his meals in the open air, and the food there was so fresh.
It still has a lot of hot pot smell.
"Today I have prepared flower rolls with sweet fillings for the young lady. The crumbs on top are what I made this morning. The young lady will try them later. Do you like them?"
Du Jingyi nodded, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled.
She is not a picky person, or rather, no one can be picky with Danruo.
After all, her craftsmanship is not to be underestimated, otherwise Du Jingyi would not have begged the Du couple to send her as a maid as part of the dowry.
Seeing that Du Jingyi did not object, Dan Ruo continued.
"I saw some black beans when I went out shopping a few days ago. I will make a cup of soybean milk for you today. Drinking it is good for your eyes and hair."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
Du Jingyi has always had his own opinions on what to eat.
But that was outside. If Danruo was here, we would basically have to eat whatever she arranged.
Standing in the small kitchen, watching the cooks busying around, the smell of smoke that occasionally wafted into his nose made Du Jingyi's mood very good for the whole day.
Other people's happiness may come from immense wealth and power.
But for her, being able to calmly feel the rise and fall of the four seasons and eating home-cooked meals is the most comfortable and happiest thing.
Perhaps knowing that she didn't want to leave, Lizhu and Yingtao, who came from the main house, began to wipe the tables and chairs outside.
There isn't much dust on top, but after a night, it feels a bit darker and more dewy.
After wiping, Yingtao originally wanted to put a cushion for her to sit on, but Du Jingyi was so quick that he sat down immediately.
Seeing this, Cherry suppressed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
After a while, the hot breakfast was brought out from the small kitchen, and everyone who saw it was salivating.
Du Jingyi waved to the maids and said.
"Sit down and eat with me. There's so much, don't waste it."
"good."
The maids were not shy about it, after all, they had done this often before.
After drinking the hot soy milk, I felt much more relaxed all over.
The steamed buns with sweet fillings really suited Du Jingyi's appetite. He ate two or three in a row but still wasn't full.
However, she also stopped and said with some reluctance.
"You can't eat any more, or you won't have enough for lunch."
She said it seriously, and several maids started laughing.
Especially Lizhu, who said jokingly.
"Young Madam, just eat without worry. If all else fails, ask Dan Ruo to move the lunch time to a later date, so that both ends will be covered."
Du Jingyi's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
But after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"Forget it. We should learn to be more restrained in our life. Otherwise, if we indulge ourselves every day, it will make us lazy and that won't be good."
Hearing this, several maids nodded, thinking that what their mistress said made sense.
She is only eighteen or nineteen years old now. Although she likes to sleep in on weekdays, she never delays anything.
It must be said that they all admired him on this point.
As long as Du Jingyi wants to do something, it seems that there is nothing he can't do.
I think it has something to do with the restraint she just mentioned.
"Okay, let's go back after eating. We still have work to do with moving."
The maid Cherry nodded and then stood up.
Lizhu was greedy, so she took a steamed bun with sweet filling and stuffed it into her mouth.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Du Jingyi saw this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Lizhu chewed it quickly and swallowed it whole.
Then he picked up the bowl of soy milk next to him and gulped it down.
Then he patted his chest twice and smiled at Du Jingyi.
"Let's go, Madam."
Seeing that she was eating so hurriedly, Du Jingyi quickly spoke to Dan Ruo.
"Make this for Lizhu's breakfast tomorrow. I see she really likes it."
After hearing this, Lizhu's eyes lit up and she looked at Danruo with excitement.
Dan Ruo smiled and nodded, then said.
"Okay, I got it. I'll make her a basket of rice tomorrow and let her eat as much as she wants!"
"Hehe, thank you, Sister Danruo."
Among the four maids, Lizhu is the youngest, so it is normal to call her Sister Danruo at this moment.
After eating and drinking, the master and his two servants returned to the main house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Butler He and Madam Dou waiting in the yard.
When the two of them saw Du Jingyi, they immediately stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"This servant greets the young lady."
"Butler He and Madam Dou are getting up soon. Why are you here so early today? Do you have something to tell me?"
They both nodded, and Nanny Dou stepped forward and began to explain.
"After returning yesterday, I have already made an agreement with the bricklaying team and will start construction today. They are all experienced people and can explain everything clearly by referring to the blueprint. I estimate that it will be completed in no time."
After saying that, Madam Dou handed over the booklet which contained the information about the bricklaying team.
Du Jingyi took it, looked at it, and then said.
"Let's sit inside and talk."
"Yes, Madam."
Renovating the General's Mansion is no small matter, and the auspicious date for their move has been set, so it must be completed before that date.
We also have to ensure quality and quantity, so we can't be careless at all.
Du Jingyi watched carefully and talked to Nanny Dou while watching.
After several conversations, Du Jingyi finally understood that this bricklaying team was indeed good.
The quotation is clear and the workmanship is fine.
The time of entry and exit, who came, what work they did, and what area they entered were all reported clearly.
