Chapter 195 Respectfully
The imagined scene did not appear, and even the chef who had already quarreled with Zhou Xiaoyuan in the report was also attacking next to her, as if there had never been any unexpected scene.
This surprised even the nanny next to her. She carefully looked at Concubine Shu's face, quickly understood and scolded her in a low voice.
A sensible person had already secretly called the chef back, but the nanny suddenly scolded her even more urgently, "Although the girl has not been officially consecrated, she is still the master. How dare you let the girl enter the kitchen so easily?"
After finishing speaking, the chef was shocked, and then he realized that Concubine Shu was also on the side. He immediately shook his head and knelt down to reply.
"Empress...slave, slaves also cherish their talents..."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu was not willing to listen anymore. She glared at the chef fiercely and whispered to her grandma to pull him aside so that he would not be an eyesore in front of her.
Grandma accepted the order, but she came back hesitantly halfway and looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan over there questioningly.
"...Mother, what about Miss Zhou?"
"I have made my own decision," Concubine Shu glanced at her and urged, "Just take the people away. I still have something to say to her."
Grandma was surprised, but she was not prepared to ask any more questions. However, just before she was about to take the person away, Zhou Xiaoyuan turned around just in time and said: "Uncle, please excuse me, the oyster sauce you have here... ah... Where are all the condiments?"
After saying that, Zhou Xiaoyuan was also dumbfounded. She looked at the concubine Shu who had arrived and the nanny next to her, and she subconsciously felt bad, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
She had to stop her hand for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to close it again.
The fire was turned on, but I remembered that it was a wood stove and it was not that easy to turn off.
Zhou Xiaoyuan became even more embarrassed and smiled sheepishly.
He stuttered and said: "...Mother, why are you here? I thought..."
"Why?" Seeing that she had been discovered, Concubine Shu had no expression on her face. She held up her skirt and was about to step into the kitchen, as if she was curious about what Zhou Xiaoyuan had made.
But before they could officially step in, a worried voice came from the nun next to them, "Mother... the ground is full of oil smoke, you--"
Even though there is a lot of waste in the palace, some clothes are often worn for one day and then never worn again.
But Concubine Shu happens to have a mysophobia.
Looking at the dark ground under her feet, she paused stiffly, then raised her head, her face darkened, and she said angrily: "Okay, you go ahead and come to me after eating."
By this time, Concubine Shu thought Zhou Xiaoyuan was greedy and wanted to make something for herself.
This reason cannot be said to be bad, but it just seems a bit petty.
It’s no wonder that Concubine Shu’s expression is ugly. Who among the ladies from aristocratic families would go to the kitchen in person? But Zhou Xiaoyuan was born as a working woman, and knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or female celebrities. After much deliberation, she found that the only thing she could buy was food.
Concubine Shu didn't want the atmosphere between the two of them to finally get better to turn into a stalemate again. After thinking for a while, she quickly asked her aunt to let the cook go. After letting go, she said: "The girl didn't call you just now Yet?"
The frightened chef understood immediately, thanked him in a hurry, and ran to the kitchen.
Seeing him like this, grandma was angry for a moment.
"How can I let him go?"
Already? If you dare to let a girl enter the kitchen, the slave girl will have to be beaten up and down in the kitchen, otherwise they will not learn a lesson. "
After saying that, the other servants working in the kitchen who came out were also trembling. Concubine Shu sighed softly, but finally stopped her.
He simply said: "Go back first, Miss Zhou will handle it here."
Of course, Mammy couldn't question her master's decision, so she remained silent. On the other side, Zhou Xiaoyuan was still in disbelief after hearing the news.
She originally thought that Concubine Shu would be angry, but now it seems that Concubine Shu seems to be compromising with her.
Is it because you learned something? Or do you know the inside story?
Zhou Xiaoyuan had several thoughts in her mind, but in the end they were all reflected in the frank confession of the chef who came back. As soon as Zhou Xiaoyuan heard that Concubine Shu had let her go without asking anything, she became even more confused.
After a while, she came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "It's over, it's over, I just said I would show you my hand!"
It was not easy to control the fire in the firewood stove, and she suddenly lost consciousness several times. There was no reason why the dish would not burn. Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed, and could only regain her composure, while explaining to the chef the key points she had just discovered.
The chef was older, probably forty or fifty years old, but at this time he was listening to what Zhou Xiaoyuan said very seriously.
No other reason, just because Zhou Xiaoyuan taught the chef a lesson. She originally just wanted to borrow a kitchen, but she didn't expect that the chef would put pressure and look down on her several times because she was an old man.
He even made wild remarks and said: "How can a lady from a well-known family like you know how to cook? If you can cook...
I will give you my room, but no one in the palace will be able to have dinner today. "
It was clear that there were still several hours before the dinner ceremony, so when he said these words, he was obviously deliberately making things difficult for Zhou Xiaoyuan.
She was not angry for a moment, so she directly challenged the chef, asked several questions, and convinced him. Only then did the scene at the beginning of Concubine Shu happen, and Zhou Xiaoyuan had the opportunity to monopolize the kitchen.
When she saw Concubine Shu, Zhou Xiaoyuan was still wondering if she would be scolded for this.
But what is surprising is that Concubine Shu just asked her to find it after she finished.
Zhou Xiaoyuan felt relieved, so she quickly moved quickly, mobilizing all the remaining servants in the kitchen to help, and finally finished several relatively complicated dishes within an hour.
Looking at the row on the chopping board, Zhou Xiaoyuan was satisfied and immediately asked people where Concubine Shu was now.
She originally thought this would be a bit troublesome, but as soon as she asked, a maid came over and looked at her without sideways eyes. She blessed her body and said respectfully: "My queen has been waiting for a long time. Miss, please come with me."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little more like a master, thinking about what she had encountered before.
She was complaining in her heart, but she was merciless with her hands.
He directly ordered people to pack everything on it and took it away happily, preparing to give it to Concubine Shu as a token of appreciation.
The maid next to her saw this and felt a headache in her heart. She felt that Concubine Shu would be angry when she saw these things. But thinking that she was not Miss Zhou's, she silently kept her mouth shut and only regarded herself as a guide. road sign.
Zhou Xiaoyuan naturally knew nothing about these unspoken psychological activities. She was full of interest and concluded that
When they arrived at Concubine Shu's palace, before she could even say a few words, Concubine Shu's face darkened when she saw what was behind her.
