Chapter 198 Kitchen Test
Wu Yue also nodded beside him: "Yes, my sister-in-law even bought me a hair flower with money."
"Since everyone is so happy, when are you planning to open a shop in the county?"
"We are ready... Boss, do you agree?" Ruan Linlin jumped up happily.
"It seems that your problem now is not just my consent. I can pay, but if Aunt Mo doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do." Ye Mingzhu looked at the two people with their heads drooping and smiled.
"But I can go ask Aunt Mo and get back to you."
The two of them became happy instantly.
Ye Mingzhu is not as optimistic as them.
Ever since Jiang Hongyu bought Aunt Mo back home, she felt that Aunt Mo rarely appeared in front of them. She either stayed in her room or was busy in the kitchen.
Occasionally, when they need to be found, Mo Xing and Mo Wan always come.
This is why she suspected that Aunt Mo was her wet nurse.
Most servants would actively hang around in front of the master, but Aunt Mo tried her best to avoid them. There seemed to be something wrong no matter how you thought about it.
"By the way, have you ever asked Aunt Mo where she learned to cook?"
Wu Yue shook her head. Ruan Linlin thought for a moment and said, "I asked Mo Xing and Mo Wan, and they said that Aunt Mo had a serious illness when they were young, and her cooking skills had declined. Later, she helped out in the previous family, and only then did she learn the cooking skills."
Ye Mingzhu nodded and asked the two to eat and have a good chat after the meal.
Wu Yue and Ruan Linlin were both very excited and picked up the dishes very quickly, which made Ye Mingzhu eat even faster.
After the three of them finished their meal, Mo Xing came up to clean up the dishes. Ye Mingzhu looked her up and down, and her face turned pale with fright.
She soon discovered it and comforted him, "I just found that you look a bit like Uncle Mo."
The most important thing is that she doesn't look like Aunt Mo.
Mo Xing's face turned even paler, and he couldn't help but touch the scar on his face.
"I was just talking casually. You can go down and do your work." Ye Mingzhu found that Mo Xing was a little afraid of her, so she simply let her go down.
"Have you two noticed that Mo Xing and Mo Wan don't look like Aunt Mo?" Ye Mingzhu asked the two people beside her.
Wu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Once, Mo Xing said they looked like my grandmother."
"Like grandma?" Ye Mingzhu murmured, but she somewhat disagreed with this statement. If they looked like grandma, then why didn't they look like Aunt Mo?
But it is unlikely that they are not Aunt Mo's children. After all, when the wet nurse was in trouble, Mo Xing and Mo Wan were not babies, so they would not have mistaken their mother for someone else.
"Boss, please don't mention appearance issues in front of Mo Xing and Mo Wan anymore. They are afraid of being stared at, so they rarely appear in public. They usually help Aunt Mo with work in the back."
Ruan Linlin sympathized with Mo Xing and Mo Wan's situation and usually took good care of them. She was the person most familiar to them.
"What do you think of the relationship between Aunt Mo and Mo Xing and Mo Wan?" Ye Mingzhu suddenly asked.
Ruan Linlin didn't understand why Ye Mingzhu asked this, but she still answered, "Auntie Mo doesn't like to talk, but she takes good care of Mo Xing and Mo Wan. She usually tries to do more work herself and doesn't ask her two daughters to do it."
Ye Mingzhu pursed her lips and nodded.
"What time have you decided to start work?" Ye Mingzhu wanted to go to Aunt Mo to ask some questions.
Ruan Linlin replied, "Normally, there's a one-hour break. Everyone cooks and eats, then rests for a while before coming over. I think there's still another quarter of an hour."
Ye Mingzhu stood up and said, "I'll go to Aunt Mo's place and see what she needs to make some snacks."
Ruan Linlin stood up and said, "I'll go with you. Aunt Mo should have finished her meal and returned to the kitchen by now."
Wu Yue did not go with them. She wanted to stay here and wait for the people who would come to work in the afternoon.
Ruan Linlin and Ye Mingzhu walked out of Wu Yue's sight. Ruan Linlin suddenly asked, "Boss, do you think there's something wrong with Aunt Mo?"
"No, why would you ask that?" Ye Mingzhu retorted quickly.
"You just kept asking about Aunt Mo and Mo Xing and Mo Wan. During the time I've been here, Aunt Mo rarely comes out. It was by chance that we had the dim sum she made. She didn't want to go out and sell dim sum, but she agreed when I told her that I didn't want to sit around and wanted to repay my employer."
Ruan Linlin spoke well of Aunt Mo: "Ever since we started making dim sum, Aunt Mo has been staying in the kitchen almost all the time, either preparing ingredients or making dim sum. She rarely comes out."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect Ruan Linlin to be so perceptive. It seemed that she was not very good at gathering information.
"I'm just curious. Aunt Mo was bought by my husband. The indenture is in my hands. What could happen? You don't have to worry." This was the only reason Ye Mingzhu could give.
After she said this, she happened to be standing at the door of the kitchen. She pushed the door open and saw Aunt Mo washing something in a large basin.
Hearing the sound, Aunt Mo turned around, seeming to be surprised: "Boss? Miss Ruan, why are you here? It's so messy and dirty here?"
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything and swept the entire kitchen.
There are many large basins, water tanks, baskets and other things in the kitchen. It is a bit messy, but not dirty at all. On the contrary, it is much cleaner than the kitchens of ordinary people.
"The boss wanted to ask what snacks to make this afternoon, so I brought him to see." Ruan Linlin found an excuse for Ye Mingzhu and leaned forward. "Auntie Mo, are you washing red beans? Are you going to make red bean cakes?"
Aunt Mo lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I'm going to make red bean pastry."
"Boss, the red bean pastry made by Aunt Mo is delicious. I made it once before and took it to the county town. It was sold out very quickly. Some people even went there specifically to look for it." Ruan Linlin looked proud, as if she was the one who made the red bean pastry.
"Really? Is the red bean pastry sweet? When Aunt Mo makes it, I must try it." Ye Mingzhu cooperated and made a greedy look.
Aunt Mo quickly looked up at her before answering, "Red bean pastry isn't very sweet, but I can make some sweeter specifically for my boss."
"Really? Then I'm in for a treat, my husband also likes sweet snacks. By the way, my husband is Jiang Hongyu, the one who brought you back that day." Ye Mingzhu said seemingly casually, but her eyes were fixed on Aunt Mo.
Aunt Mo lowered her head and said only, "Yes."
"Sister Linlin," Wu Yue's voice came from outside the door, "Aunt Niu wants to see how many days her daughter-in-law has worked this month."
Ye Mingzhu didn't wait for Ruan Linlin to speak, and said first: "Sister Linlin, you should go and do your work. I'll stay here and take a look. I'll go back later."
Ruan Linlin nodded: "Then boss, if you want to eat any snacks, just tell Aunt Mo, and she will make a lot of snacks."
After she finished speaking, she nodded to Aunt Mo and hurried out.
