In the large kitchen of the Prime Minister's Palace.
It was in full swing and everyone was very nervous.
"Hurry up, hurry up, pay attention to the heat of this roasted venison, it won't taste good if it's old. And your peacock custard is also ready for me. The steaming time must be mastered, otherwise it will become stale after a long time.
If it’s too short, it means it’s not cooked!”
"Please be alert and pay attention. Whoever was responsible for the dish went wrong and Prince Rui was dissatisfied. Huh, go and collect the punishment from the madam yourself. The eldest lady is kind-hearted and tolerant to the servants. You all can do it one by one."
I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!”
A woman in her forties with a fat buttocks and a fierce look on her face was holding her waist and ordering the people in the kitchen to come and go in an orderly manner.
"Hurry, this hibiscus carp dish will be served first, as well as the cold dishes to go with the wine. Hurry!"
When Mu Chengwan came in, he saw this scene.
"Aunt Cui, you're busy." Mu Chengwan smiled and held the fat woman's arm. She didn't mind at all that the other party was a servant, while she was the third lady of the prime minister.
Sure enough, Mu Chengwan's approachable attitude really pleased the fat woman.
Aunt Cui smiled and said, "It turns out to be the Third Miss. Why did you come to the kitchen in person? There is so much oil smoke here, and the Third Miss is being smoked."
"Mom is still concerned about me. I had nothing to do, and suddenly I remembered that brother-in-law Prince Rui arrived today, and my eldest sister was sick again and couldn't take care of me. I also thought that you must be in a hurry in the kitchen, so you have to pay attention to the big sister.
My sister’s food cannot delay Prince Rui’s side, so I came here to see if I can help.”
"Third Miss, look at this, you are really busy! I was only here for a while, and these careless people were able to make mistakes in the eldest lady's meals, causing the eldest lady to eat the wrong food.
I got poisoned by the food I bought. Third Miss, tell me, can I not be angry? From now on, I can’t make a mistake with even half of my eyes.”
Mu Chengwan sighed, "It's no wonder Aunt Cui, it's all those disobedient and lazy people who confused eldest sister's food. Auntie, you are so busy, is there anything I can do to help?"
"
Aunt Cui smiled heartily, "Miss Third is a rich lady, how can she do such a job?"
"I'm going to be angry if Auntie says this again. What kind of young lady is a servant? I have always regarded Auntie as one of my own. What kind of status do I have? How can I be better than Auntie?"
"Third Miss, you are so polite. A miss is a miss, and she is the master."
"Hey, I know what auntie means. She just feels sorry for Chengwan and doesn't want Chengwan to help. In fact, Chengwan knows that she is not a beautiful and talented girl like eldest sister who lives in Tokyo. Of course, she won't try to pretend to be a young lady. Still.
Yes, cooking is a must for women, so Chengwan just comes to learn from my aunt."
Speaking of this, Mu Chengwan smiled again, "But Chengwan also knows that Auntie is not hiding anything, she just feels sorry for Chengwan. Chengwan has remembered this favor. Haha, Auntie, since you won't let Chengwan help,
Then Chengwan must be able to eat it in two bites, smelling the fragrance, Chengwan's stomach is growling!"
Aunt Cui also laughed, "This is easy. There is a lot of steamed peacock custard, half of it is used for serving on the plate, and the other half is for the third lady to try. This peacock custard is what the eldest lady specially ordered to make...
