Chapter 170 Provocation
Cen Xiyan mentioned last night's dinner today for three purposes.
The first is to see who the person behind the scenes is. Although she has some guesses in her mind, she still needs to confirm it; the second is to warn other people in the house who are ready to move, not to provoke her! The third is to want to be in Jinglan.
The small kitchen in the pavilion is open by itself.
The location of Jinglan Pavilion in Cen Mansion is very remote. It is really not close to the big kitchen. It is winter now, and the food is no longer so hot when it is brought from the big kitchen to Jinglan Pavilion. She does not want to eat cold meals every time.
Even if she could warm it up in the small kitchen, the taste would definitely be much worse, and she didn't want to abuse her tongue.
Moreover, Yingxue is very talented in cooking. She has become accustomed to Yingxue's food over the years. She thinks that the food made by other chefs is really as good as Yingxue's. She will not use this incident to gain for herself.
If you give me some benefits, you would be really sorry for yourself.
After hearing Cen Xiyan's request, Mrs. Cen only thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's fine, then the six girls can start a business in your yard. Let the girl go to the big kitchen to get whatever ingredients you want."
alright."
The location of Jinglan Pavilion is a bit off, and Mrs. Cen can naturally think of the problem of cold food being delivered there in winter. In addition, Cen Xiyan was wronged just after he returned home. Now he does not investigate the cause of the matter, but is just taking advantage of it.
When the opportunity came up and she proposed to start a group alone, she naturally had no reason not to agree.
When Cen Xiyan heard that Mrs. Cen agreed to her request, she quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Cen Xiyan's request that Mrs. Cen agreed to made some people present frown. Most of the masters in Cen's residence used the big kitchen, and the small kitchens in each courtyard were usually used to make snacks and stew soup.
Or something like that, or just warming up a meal. Only Mrs. Li, who usually lives in seclusion, rarely leaves her yard, and eats mostly vegetarian food, opened fire in her yard. This time, the old lady actually agreed that Cen Xiyan was also there.
A fire in the small kitchen in your own yard?! This makes some people feel very uncomfortable.
It's not that if you start your own meal, the food will be more delicious than those cooked in a big kitchen, but it's a matter of face! The old lady agreed to Cen Xiyan's request, which means that the old lady is supporting her face and giving her privileges!
Why is she, a concubine who has just returned home, so valued by the old lady?!
The eighth young lady, Cen Xifen, couldn't help it on the spot, and said angrily: "Grandma! The Furong Garden where Fen'er lives is not close to the big kitchen, and Fen'er also wants to start a business in the yard!"
Furong Garden is not close to the big kitchen? That's nonsense! Cen Xifen's yard is in an excellent location, not far from the big kitchen. Everyone can tell that Cen Xifen is deliberately competing for face with Cen Xiyan.
After hearing what Cen Xifen said, Mrs. Cen couldn't help but frown slightly, "You want to start your own business? Is there a girl in your yard who is good at cooking, mother-in-law? You have such a tricky mouth, are you used to eating ordinary food?
"
Cen Xifen choked at Mrs. Cen's question. Everyone in the Cen family knew that Cen Xifen was the most arrogant among the ladies in the Cen family. The cooks in the Cen family's big kitchen were all top-notch in cooking skills.
Andu is famous, but Cen Xifen is picky about her food. She asks the maid in her yard to cook for her? It’s strange that she can eat it!
Cen Xifen knew that it would be impossible to start a kitchen alone in her own yard, but she was unwilling to let Cen Xiyan get his wish, so she deliberately made things difficult for Cen Xiyan: "Then is there anyone who is good at cooking in Sixth Sister's yard? I didn't remember.
If I'm wrong, there are only three or four servants who came back from the countryside with Sixth Sister this time, right? Oh, including the boy driving the car! It turns out that Jinglan Pavilion has a few cleaning women, and they just do menial work.
That's all. Can the food they cook be eaten? Is it possible that the mansion has to invite a separate cook for Sixth Sister?" When she said this, she emphasized the word "countryside" specially.
Some.
The targeted meaning of these words was too obvious. When everyone heard this, they all looked at Cen Xiyan, wanting to see her reaction. Mrs. Cen was also looking at Cen Xiyan, but the old lady was not worried about Cen Xiyan's problem. Although
They didn't get along for long, but she could tell that this Liu Yatou was smart and wouldn't take this level of provocation seriously. She was really thinking that Liu Yatou wanted to start her own business and really knew how to cook.
Someone? Do you want to send your mother-in-law with decent cooking skills to Jinglan Pavilion?
Of course, the old lady also knew that if she really sent the cook to Jinglan Pavilion, Cen Xiyan would probably receive even more hostility. She wanted to see how Cen Xiyan would react after being repeatedly targeted and excluded by the lady in the mansion.
How will Liu Yatou deal with it in the end?
At this time, Cen Xiyan was already smiling, looking at Cen Xifen and speaking, "Bamei has thought carefully. Sixth sister, I would like to thank you for your concern. However, although there are not many people serving me, the two girls
But they are still capable, and their cooking skills are pretty good. I used to live in a separate courtyard in Qingyuan Town, and I often ate the food they cooked, and I was used to the taste. I didn’t need to hire a separate cook for me.
." The reason Cen Xiyan talked about the two girls instead of mentioning Yingxue's cooking skills alone was because he didn't want people in the house to have a special impression of one of her girls.
Cen Xiyan blocked Cen Xifen's provocation with just a few words, which made Cen Xifen feel as if he had been punched in cotton, which was very frustrating.
She was a little unwilling to give in, snorted coldly through her nose, and said sarcastically, "As expected, I grew up outside. I am not as delicate as the sisters in the house. I can get away with the food cooked by a girl."
Cen Xiyan's expression remained unchanged and he couldn't even look at Cen Xifen. However, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: The back house of a high-ranking family is really a perverted place. Even a little girl who is only twelve years old has been infected like this.
He is so pitiful and pathetic with his twisted character of being aggressive and yin-yang!
Seeing that Cen Xiyan ignored her, Cen Xifen felt more and more depressed. She opened her mouth to say something, but was pulled by Cen Xihan, the fourth lady sitting next to her. Cen Xifen turned to look at Cen Xihan, and saw Cen Xihan slightly shaking his head.
Shaking his head at her, Cen Xifen thought for a moment and swallowed back the provocations for the time being.
Cen Xihan's move of pulling Cen Xifen seemed to be done secretly. In fact, the move was a bit big. Many people present saw the scene. Cen Xiyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Should this fourth lady do such a move?
Is she just showing it to others on purpose? To show how much she loves her sisters? This woman in a high-class compound is so complicated!
Mrs. Cen didn't seem to hear Cen Xifen's unpleasant words just now, nor did she seem to see Cen Xihan and Cen Xifen's little actions just now. She only looked at Cen Xiyan lovingly and asked: "Sixth girl, your cooking skills
