The corner of Su Qingluan's mouth twitched, she suppressed her desire to complain, and said: "Xie Xiaolangjun, I need to cut this 'tofu flower' with more than a thousand knives.\"
\"Yeah, so what?\" Xie Zian asked the most embarrassing words in the most innocent tone, "Can a few more people help you cut it together?"
"...But I only made this one this time. If anyone in your house is willing to help, please try another day earlier. It's already getting late today..." Su Qingluan struggled to keep her smile on her face.
The old housekeeper next to him obviously knew better than Xie Zian, a middle school boy in middle school. He whispered in Xie Zian's ear and whispered: "Little Master, it seems that it is difficult to find such... a chef with excellent knife skills in our house..."
Xie Zian raised his head and looked at Su Qingluan, then turned to look at his old housekeeper: "We have hired five or six cooks, but none of them can compare to a little lady? Don't they all claim to be 'famous chefs'?"
Su Qingluan grinded her teeth secretly when she heard this: Hey, this naughty kid is really annoying. Is this sex discrimination? I have to thank her for not being able to offend the other party now, otherwise she would have to teach the poor kid what it means to put a sack on someone, what it means to bring disaster out of one's mouth, and what it means to bring justice from heaven!
The old butler obviously had a much higher emotional intelligence than the naughty kid: "Those chefs are naturally capable, but the cooks you personally invited, Xiao Langjun, are naturally more skilled than the chefs hired by ordinary people."
Su Qingluan bared his teeth when he heard this: What a noble statement! He praised her for her craftsmanship and the master Xie Zian's good taste. At the same time, he didn't say that the original cooks were "not good". She was worthy of being served by a wealthy family. She was indeed a well-spoken person!
After hearing this, Xie Zian nodded, finally no longer thinking about asking the chef in the house to "help", but he suddenly remembered something and looked at Su Qingluan: "You are so good at cooking, why not stay here and cook for me?" Mom, I will give you double...no, triple the wages of others."
"Thank you so much for your kindness, Mr. Young Master. However, Qingluan is no more than a country man with a lazy temperament and neglect of etiquette. I'm afraid he is not suitable to stay with Mr. Young Master..." Su Qingluan lowered his head and said dryly.
Who wants to stay with such a naughty kid who says wind is rain? ! With such a "boss" who is full of tricks, Su Qingluan feels that his life will be shortened.
The old housekeeper must have noticed that Su Qingluan didn't want to stay, so he said: "This lady is a daughter after all, so it may not be convenient for her to stay with the young man..."
"What's the inconvenience?!" Xie Zian was a little unhappy.
"The old lady at home..."
"Okay, okay! I understand!" Xie Zian waved his hand impatiently.
The old butler returned to his original expression of seriousness and kindness.
Su Qingluan didn't care much about the mystery between the two of them. She only cared about her "mission progress", so when the two people on the other side stopped talking, she stepped forward and smiled brightly: "Xie Xiaolangjun, I am Is the 'trial' considered passed?"
"Oh, it passed, it passed!" Xie Zian nodded, "You can go and see that rare thing!"
Su Qingluan: ...Who the hell wants to continue working? What she wants is the one hundred taels of silver notes! !
Su Qingluan once again suppressed the barrage of complaints in her heart, and smiled: "Thank you Xiaolangjun, the agreed banknote..."
Xie Zian waved his sleeves: "Don't worry, am I going to default on my debt?"
Su Qingluan said to her heart: Who knows if you will default on your debt? I don't have the ability to read minds, and I'm not a roundworm in your stomach. And more importantly, she had been busy making that chrysanthemum tofu for nearly an hour and a half. She was really tired and didn't want to jump into the next "battle" right away.
So she put on a miserable expression on her face and started to show her misery: "Don't say that I am a big living person. Even if I have to work with animals, I still have to give them some food and grass, right? It's pitiful that I have been busy inside and outside for so long, but what happened? No reward will be given...wuwuwuwuwu..."
Su Qingluan put herself in the role of a hard-working social worker who was owed wages by a sinister boss. She suddenly felt sad. She was originally crying 100% fake, but she actually performed a part of the truth and squeezed out a few tears.
Although Xie Zian has always been a hustler, he is still a pampered and wealthy young man. The people he serves in front of him are all smart and transparent people. Where has he ever seen such a rogue attitude in the market?
Therefore, although Su Qingluan's level of "selling out" was only the most basic level, not to the point of rolling around and crying, it was enough to make Xie Zian, a "greenhouse grass", stunned.
"This...you...don't cry!" Xie Zian jumped down from the bench at a loss and wanted to pull Su Qingluan's sleeves, but he realized that she was a woman. Such an action was a bit frivolous, so he scratched his head and ears. , turned around and looked at the old housekeeper: "Hurry up and exchange the agreed ten taels of gold for the silver note!"
The old housekeeper had probably never seen such a "relaxed" woman. He was stunned for a long time. After being ordered by his young master, he responded as if he had just woken up from a dream, turned around and left.
But Su Qingluan really didn't want to hear how much nonsense the naughty kid on the other side could come up with that would kill people, so he kept covering his face, sobbing and pretending to cry.
As a result, I heard Xie Zian sighing out of curiosity: "Why are you so capable of crying? Aren't you tired?"
Su Qingluan: ...She pretended that she couldn't cry anymore. Can she kill this naughty kid?
But soon, all the anger in Su Qingluan's heart was gone - because the old housekeeper came back, and what came with him here was that kind of silver note with a face value of one hundred taels!
The old housekeeper respectfully arranged the banknotes converted into small denominations of fifty taels and placed them in front of Xie Zian: "Master, that's all."
Xie Zian didn't take it lightly and directly picked it up and handed it to Su Qingluan: "Here, stop crying, you want the reward!"
Su Qingluan naturally had little trust in the old housekeeper. Just as a precaution, she counted the face value of the banknote again. The bitter expression on her face immediately disappeared and was replaced by a bright smile: " Xie Xiaolangjun, what are those rare ingredients?"
Su Qingluan prayed silently, hoping that it was not a rare species sitting in a modern prison - she had no experience in cooking wild animals! That really touches on her blind spot!
Xie Zian looked at Su Qingluan's expression change with some surprise, and said in surprise: "You have changed too quickly, haven't you?"
Su Qingluan smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "When I see the reward, I will naturally be happy."
Xie Zian curled his lips, without comment, and then ordered: "Follow me!"
Su Qingluan immediately followed after hearing the words, walking left and right along the corridor of the courtyard, and then came to a living room. In a corner where the sun could not shine, there was a fish tank that was as big as a small pond.
At Xie Zian's signal, Su Qingluan walked over and was stunned: Not to mention what kind of "rare treasure" it was, it was even a very common ingredient in modern times!
