Chapter 40 The two young masters are polite
Qiuju ran to the kitchen in one breath: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, is there anything else to eat in the kitchen? Madam said she wants to give it all to the little girl who escaped from the famine."
Chef Lao Wang was a little confused. He was just about to cook and the ingredients were all prepared. The chicken had just been killed, the fish was caught from the pond in the back garden, and the chicken was just that.
This fish is very valuable. You have to know that these days, what the Lu family lacks is not money or the fish, but the water for raising fish.
There are only a few of them now, and they are all carefully raised by Old Wang.
So he frowned and asked, "Madam, did you really say that?"
"Yeah, I can't lie to you."
"Qiuju, why don't you go ask again? The kitchen just caught a fish today and originally wanted to cook it for the master. But... should they also give it to the little girl?"
Hearing that the food was prepared for the master, Qiu Ju felt embarrassed, but she suddenly had an idea: "Then leave the fish for the master to eat, and I will take the chicken, ham, and these vegetables away."
The Lu family had stockpiled the vegetables in the warehouse long ago. It’s okay, just go get them later.
There are also chickens. Chicken is the most common meat in the Lu family now.
After watching Qiuju being carried away, Old Wang shook his head and sighed, "Madam is still so extravagant in this day and age. Sigh!"
The young apprentice who was burning firewood beside him didn't dare to say a word and kept his head down.
During this time, Ding Xiaodie was taken to a room. Mrs. Lu asked another maid to find several dresses for little girls. They were of various colors and all made of silk and satin. The hand-embroidered totems on them were extremely delicate.
Ding Xiaodie took a look and thought, if this was brought to Hyundai, how much would it sell for?
At Madam Lu's command, the maids dressed her in an emerald green dress. The top of the jacket was embroidered with gold thread, and the bottom was a green skirt. There were even matching embroidered shoes with a green pompom on the toe. It was so adorable.
"So beautiful, Xiaodie."
"What a beauty!"
When they saw Ding Xiaodie dressed up, everyone immediately exclaimed in admiration, with surprise on their faces.
Mrs. Lu was also very fond of her at first, but the more she looked at her, the more sad she felt. She even lowered her head, her eyes turned red, and she began to wipe away her tears.
"lady."
“…”
Ding Xiaodie was confused. She was still showing off her skirt, so why did Mrs. Lu suddenly change from sunny to cloudy and start crying?
She hurried over and pretended to be timid: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Lu saw her big, watery eyes and hurriedly wiped away her tears. She felt that she had really lost her composure just now, so she forced a smile: "It's okay, Xiaodie, it's none of your business. I just suddenly thought of someone. Come on, turn around a few more times so I can see. You look really good in this color."
Ding Xiaodie saw her crying and laughing, and didn't dare to ask more questions. Fortunately, she looked like a child now, and it was easiest for her to pretend to be ignorant.
"Okay." She nodded, lifted the hem of her skirt and began to spin.
"It's so beautiful, Xiaodie is so beautiful."
Seeing that the lady's mood had improved, everyone joined in the fun.
When she turned the first circle, Ding Xiaodie saw Mrs. Lu smiling; when she turned the second circle, Ding Xiaodie saw two young men hurriedly walking towards her at the end of the road.
"Mother, mother."
"Young Master, Second Young Master!"
The girls shouted in unison.
Madam Lu said, "Xingluo, Chenhe, come and see her. Her name is Xiaodie."
Ding Xiaodie could no longer turn, so she took the opportunity to stop and saw two young men with faces as beautiful as jade. One was as gentle as jade and as calm as the wind, while the other had lively eyebrows and eyes like stars.
They were both about fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the best time in a person's life.
At this time, Madam Lu called Xiaodie over and pointed at the gentle and graceful one and said to her, "He is the eldest young master of the Lu family, Lu Chenhe." Then she pointed to the one with lively eyebrows and eyes and said, "He is the second young master, Lu Xingluo."
Ding Xiaodie assessed the situation and quickly called out, "Greetings, Young Master."
Lu Chenhe pursed his rosy lips and said, "Xiaodie is polite!"
Lu Xingluo smiled and said, "Just like what father said, the little girl is quite courageous."
Ding Xiaodie smiled with her eyes narrowed, a bunch of black lines running through her mind. I'm not a little brat, you are.
Lu Xingluo asked with a smile: "Xiaodie, I heard from my father that he met you in the mountains. You are very brave to follow him to the Lu family."
"Xingluo, don't scare Xiaodie." Lu Chenhe saw that the little girl was a little uncomfortable, so he spoke up to help.
"I didn't mean to scare her. I was just curious. By the way, Xiaodie, did you find anything on the mountain?"
"Found it." Ding Xiaodie nodded. She had a brown cloth bag with three black truffles her mother had found in it. She had placed one on the shelf when she entered the space.
Later, I was woken up by Ding Xue and didn’t take it. Now there are still two in my bag.
The clothes and bag she had taken off were being carried on a tray by a maid, and no one had seen what was inside.
At this time, Ding Xiaodie walked over, took out the bag, and took out two black truffles from it. After all, the other party gave her so many things, so she should give something in return.
"This fungus is called black truffle, and it's a top-notch delicacy."
Black truffle?
Everyone walked closer to take a closer look out of curiosity. How could this black lump be delicious?
Lu Xingluo asked in confusion, "Is this black truffle found on the mountain beside the lotus pond?"
Because he heard from his father that he met Ding Xiaodie there.
"yes!"
Seeing Ding Xiaodie nod, everyone looked at each other in confusion. The mountain was not far from the door, but in all these years, no one had ever discovered any delicious ingredients there.
Compared to his younger brother, Lu Chenhe fell into deep thought.
Just now when Ding Xiaodie took out the black truffle, he had already smelled a subtle fragrance. If it was just an ordinary mushroom, it would not be so fragrant.
At the same time, Mrs. Lu also smelled the fragrance.
She took it and looked at it carefully, then put it close to her nose and smelled it. She felt that the fragrance was very unique and so rich that she inexplicably wanted to take a sip.
At this moment, Qiuju, who had been ordered to go to the kitchen, ran in with various ingredients.
Ding Xiaodie took a look and thought, wow, she was sure to make a profit today, as she was given so much.
An idea suddenly struck him, and he took a black truffle and handed it to Qiuju: "Sister Qiuju, please run again and give this truffle to the chef. Ask him to wash it and cut it into thin slices, and then make a bowl of dipping sauce suitable for the ladies and young masters. Remember, there is no need to peel it, because it is naturally like this."
Qiuju looked at the black fungus ball and didn't dare to take it.
What is this?
Only then did Mrs. Lu wave her hand with interest and said, "Qiuju, go ahead. Everything will be arranged by Xiaodie."
"Yes." Qiuju took it, held it carefully in both hands, turned around and ran towards the backyard again.
