Zheng Hui thought about her mother's words in recent days, and she seemed a bit silent. She no longer had time to pester Li Qiu Sui, which made her feel relieved.
After Li Qiu Sui had enough to eat and drink, he began to think about delicious food. Naturally, he was not satisfied with the current situation.
The vegetable seedlings in the shed are as big as a little finger and will be ready for picking soon. The mushrooms planted earlier are already edible.
The big kitchen is far away, and there is no small kitchen in the yard. There are no less than dozens of serious masters in the Zheng family. When it is their turn to receive meals in the yard, even if the lid of the food box is tight, it is a bit cold when it is brought here. . Winter is coming now, and no matter how delicate and delicious the food is, it will lose its taste if it gets cold.
Furthermore, the food in the big kitchen is good, but if you want to eat something lighter today, the big kitchen just makes a strong one. When your appetite has improved and you want to eat something heavy, but someone in the Zheng family is angry and makes something light, you have no choice but to follow their lead.
He simply asked Cuiping to ask Qingheng to buy a black coal stove from outside. He also bought a few sacks of black coal and piled them up at the corner door. Although burning this would waste more money than using firewood, it would save people a lot of money. Firewood takes up a lot of space like that.
In this way, you don’t have to eat cakes all the time for lunch.
Cuiping and the other two were not very good at cooking, so Li Qiu Sui asked them to make soup with big bones, throw the mushrooms and vegetables into the pot, and eat them while they were still hot, which gave them a unique taste.
For dinner today, a roast chicken and a few side dishes were served in the big kitchen.
Cuizhu opened the food box and took out the food, and asked: "Girl, Manager Zhu said there are sheep bones in the big kitchen tomorrow, do we want them?"
Li Qiusui was immersed in writing big characters. He was speechless for a moment. After he finished writing on a piece of paper, Cuiping helped him take it aside to dry, and then said: "Yes! We want as many as we have."
Cuizhu smiled happily, "Then we will have mutton pot for dinner tomorrow!"
It's getting colder every day, which is a good time to eat mutton. The girl asked a few days ago, don't the Zheng family like mutton? Why don't you ask Manager Zhu who bought it to buy some for you?
Li Qiusui nodded, "It's best if we can even out the several kilograms of mutton."
Cuizhu clapped her hands and said, "Of course it can!"
In the past, she wouldn't have dared to say such big words, but now...
"A few days ago, the boy from the Zhu family couldn't stop coughing. His wife was working in the big kitchen. When talking to friends, she shed tears. I still couldn't stand it, so I took the pills you gave us and sent them over. I heard that the second She got much better the next day. She thanked me again and again. She told her that it was you, girl, who prepared the medicine. She also said she wanted to come over and kowtow to you, but I stopped her. It’s better now. Every time she sees me , you are much more polite than before. I went to get the food tonight, and it was already packed without me having to wait. As for the mutton bones, Manager Zhu specially asked her to tell us."
Pills?
After being followed by Zheng Hui for those few days, Li Qiusui felt that it was more convenient than ever to ask for something. As for how it came about, she ignored it.
"It was that time when my little brother had a cough, my father came to the door, and you gave me two bottles of pills! You also said that one bottle was enough, so I kept one bottle and gave it to my father to take. After returning home, my stepmother later made a special trip to say that the medicine was very effective and asked me if I had any more. The two children he gave birth to also had some coughs. I was careful and only gave her a few pills. The rest A few pills, all given to the Zhu family."
After finishing speaking, Cuizhu was a little uneasy. She took pills as a favor without the girl's permission.
"Girl, did I do something wrong?"
Li Qiusui waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I gave you the pills. How you deal with them is your business."
Cuizhu was relieved, and Li Qiu Sui said: "Moreover, Manager Zhu is in charge of the purchase of the big kitchen, and her wife is also in charge of a lot of things in the big kitchen. Let's not just please his family, befriend them, and treat us well." There’s no harm in it, it’ll be much easier to get ingredients in the future.”
Cuizhu couldn't help but nod. On the one hand, she saw the miserable appearance of the Zhu family's daughter-in-law, but she had no intention of making good friends with her family. The girl's status is embarrassing, and she will stay in the Zheng family for more than a year. These supervisors do not need to deliberately curry favor with her, but they can help the girl form a good relationship and make her life in the house more comfortable.
But this time it was too rash, I should have reported it to the girl before making up my mind.
The matter has been done, Cuizhu thought about it, but still wanted to speak clearly, "I didn't think so much at the time. I gave the pill as soon as I saw it was useful. Next time something like this happens, I won't make my own decision again." .”
Li Qiusui smiled, "It's okay if you make up your mind, but you have to tell me afterwards, otherwise, if someone really thanks me, I'll be embarrassed before I even know what happened!"
Hearing Li Qiu Sui's joke, Cuizhu was embarrassed on his face, but he finally let go of his worries, "The Zhu family is really... She wanted to come over to kowtow, but I politely stopped her. Who knew she would really take it seriously. I At that time, I just had a thought. Because there was still half a bottle left, my brother was well. How much better he was, and I had never seen it with my own eyes. He gave me the pills. It was just a coincidence that he happened to give me the pills. What I was thinking was , even if it only has a little effect, tell the girl what happened and do more, then they will be owed this favor."
It can only be said that she underestimated the effect of the pill.
Several days have passed, and no one has come to say thank you.
Cuiping listened to the whole process, "...it doesn't matter whether you kowtow or not. The most important thing is that it can make things convenient for us and get real benefits. I also said that I would go to the big kitchen to pick up the food in the next few days. Food boxes, why are people so enthusiastic!"
Li Qiusui listened thoughtfully to the two people talking. The pills that came out of her hand, not to mention the special method of making them. Even if she didn't use her powers, she was naturally familiar with the habits of the herbs. She could sense how to get the best out of them when the herbs were used.
As for the pills given to Cuizhu, they were just for practice. At that time, Cuizhu's father came to her door and told her about her brother's cough. Since he was determined to conquer Cuizhu and make pills, he had no intention of hiding it from anyone, so he did the favor easily.
The three masters and servants were chatting lively in the house. Outside, a maid posted a message against the door curtain, "Miss Li, the Zhu family in the big kitchen is asking to see you. I'm standing in the yard right now. Do you think I can't get enough time?"
I really can’t help but say, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.
Li Qiusui said, "Let people come in."
The daughter-in-law of the Zhu family was about thirty years old. Seeing Li Qiu Sui, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "My boy is grateful to the girl for the pills! If you have any errands in the future, please tell the sister next to you to pass on a message to us." Regardless of how capable we are, we will try our best to handle whatever we can do."
