Chapter 779

The light rain outside the window was dripping non-stop, and a faint mist lingered on the diamond-shaped glazed sash window, and as Erfu's somewhat weak voice sounded, the air in the room froze, and the fourth master's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he reached out and took the chopsticks in Erfu's hand, picked the duck egg yolk that Erfu had just eaten, tasted it carefully, turned his head to Su Peisheng, who was full of nervousness, and commanded coldly: " You go to the front yard and invite Imperial Doctor Hu back, and ask him to check the guys in the small kitchen, and see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually dared to use these indiscriminate hands and feet in the food of Fang Fujin, and ordered Xiao Shengzi to prepare side dishes again and send them over.

As he spoke, the fourth master did not forget to ask if there was any problem with Erfu's white porridge.

I have to say that Erfu's tongue is very smart, don't look at her has eaten sweet and sour candied fruit to stop vomiting, and drank a small bowl of honey water to moisten her lips, but the salted duck eggs are marinated in the seasoning by Xiao Shengzi herself, and the taste she has long been used to eating has changed slightly, she still tasted it, the almost unsmelled mint taste, although it will not make her suffer from abdominal pain and miscarriage on the spot, but long-term consumption will still affect the fetus in her womb, which is one of the reasons why the fourth master is so angry.

After a while, Imperial Doctor Hu, who had gone and returned, found the hands-on cook from the kitchen.

Chen, a person who looks very responsible, is over forty years old, sells himself, and the deed of sale is in Su Peisheng's hands, she followed behind Imperial Doctor Hu and Xiaoshengzi with a worried face, and as soon as she entered the outer hall, she knelt on the ground without even seeing the face of the person sitting on the top, and shouted tremblingly: "The slave and maid are wronged, and the slave and maid really never thought of harming the side of Fujin." ”

"Why do you add mint leaves to the side dishes?" the fourth master asked coldly.

"Mint leaves?" Xiao Shengzi heard this, let out a low doubt, turned his head to look at Chen who was kneeling beside him, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, he was the eunuch in charge of Erfu's eating and drinking, but he didn't find that the cook in the small kitchen did such a thing, almost hurting Erfu's body, he was annoyed and regretful, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said, "The slave is derelict in his duties, and he also asks the master and the master to punish him." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his robe and knelt straight beside Chen.

"You get up first. "In the end, it is the old man who has been with him for a long time, Erfu is unwilling to embarrass Xiaoshengzi in front of the big guy, raised his hand slightly, grabbed ahead of the fourth master, and said softly, at the same time turned his head to look at the fourth master with an unswerving face, and explained with a smile, "No matter how you plan to punish Xiaoshengzi, you must first ask Chen why he is doing something in the side dishes." ”

The fourth master was reluctant to embarrass Erfu, so he coldly threw a knife to Xiaoshengzi, and then nodded and followed Erfu's words and said: "You stand aside first, what is wrong with you, the master knows in his heart." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the side and motioned for him to stand over, and at the same time, his voice changed, turned his head to look at the trembling Chen who was making a five-body throw, and said coldly: "Don't be in a hurry to shout wronged, don't worry, the master will not wronged anyone, nor will he let go of anyone who dares to do anything on the side of Fujin, the master will ask you a word, is the salted duck egg on this table prepared by you, who else has touched this small dish besides you!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, the fourth master reached out and threw the fine white porcelain plate on the corner table in front of Chen's eyes.

The fine porcelain plate produced by the official kiln, the moment it touched the big bluestone floor tiles, it was broken into porcelain pieces of different sizes, and the duck eggs cut into the shape of orange petals jumped directly in front of Chen's eyes.

rich and poor, Noble and low, whoever is pregnant is a big deal, down to the bottom of the servant woman is pregnant, but also to eat some good to replenish the body, not to mention the prince's mansion like Tilph on the side of the jade, so don't look at the rules of the village courtyard idle, but the rules of the small kitchen in charge of the little shengzi are still the same as the rules of the house, who is the hand of the food, then this person is responsible for the whole process, even if it is a hot fried dish that may need other people to help prepare the food, the little shengzi who is responsible for the last stove must also carefully check the ingredients before getting out of the pot, so as not to appear in the mix of things that should not appear, so that the little shengzi in charge of the spoon is responsible for the mistakes and omissions。

Of course, the food made by others can't be sent to Erfu, even if it is sent, it is all checked by Xiaoshengzi in the back, there is an accident today, Erfu is in a hurry to call for food, Xiaoshengzi himself is too busy, Yaoqin is sick in the rain again, he just asked Chen's more responsible cook to help, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident.

Pressing the silently remorseful little son to mention it for the time being, when Chen Shi was asked about the words, he was stunned at first, then shook his head blankly, and stumbled and replied: "This ...... This...... Slaves...... Didn't see it...... Someone else touched it. ”

This is the first time she can cook and send it to the front for the masters to taste, she is naturally all kinds of careful, from beginning to end with the afterglow to pay attention to the good food, she really did not find that anyone has touched the good food, when she prepared the side dishes, she did not let others mix, the whole process was done by herself, that is called a hard work, but she ignored the mint leaves mentioned in the words of the fourth master.

Seeing that the charge of murdering the master's family was about to fall on his own head, Chen panicked.

Don't look at Chen's appearance of kindness, duty, and timid in speaking, in fact, she is a very strong person in her bones, she was widowed before she was thirty, and her husband's family was afraid that she would not be able to keep it, and she was even more afraid that she would fill the family's land and property, and wanted to regain the land that was assigned to them, in order to let her son not worry about his livelihood, she continued to study in the school, and chose to sell herself, but the person who signed the deed of sale, even after redeeming herself, could not take the imperial examination road for three generations, in order not to implicate her son, she actually passed her son to the eldest uncle of the family.

If you really answer that sentence, people should not be disgraced.

The flustered Chen thought that the family was counting on her son, and she would not easily let herself bear such a charge, she looked at the duck eggs rolling on the ground, gritted her teeth, reached out and stuffed a salted duck egg into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it slowly, she was not crazy enough to destroy the evidence, she just wanted to see what was wrong with the salted duck egg.

Only when she knows what the problem is, can she defend herself.

It turns out that every chef has a tongue with a keen sense of taste.

Chen is no exception, she chewed carefully, savored the taste of salted duck eggs, and gradually wrinkled her brows, because she didn't find anything wrong with the taste of salted duck eggs, the duck eggs were green and refreshing, the duck egg butter was fragrant and tender, no matter how you ate it, it was delicious, and there was no strange taste.

The fourth master sitting at the top didn't have much patience, he could wait for Chen to chew a piece of salted duck egg and eat it slowly, it was all caused by Erfu pulling his sleeve repeatedly, he looked at Chen who frowned, and asked coldly: "Let's talk about it, I don't have time to grind my teeth with you here, if you can't say that you are ugly, then don't blame the master for sending you to the county government to ask for guilt." ”

After saying that, he turned the jade wrench on his thumb with some impatience.

This is the habitual small action of the fourth master.

Since the old man Kangxi criticized him for being moody, he has developed this habit of using small movements to transfer and can't suppress the anger, Erfu looked at the fourth master's strong anger, pulled the fourth master's sleeve in distress, pushed the dried fruit box on the table to his hand, and said softly: "Eat an amber walnut sweet mouth." ”

The fourth master understood Erfu's kindness, and smiled reluctantly, "You eat, you don't like to eat these." ”

After speaking, he stopped the movement of turning the wrench in his hand, took a deep breath, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, but the cold eye knife was still thrown at Chen's body all the time.

Chen knelt on his knees, only to feel as sad as a sharp edge on his back.

She cowardly said a few back and forth words in her heart, and collapsed to the ground in resignation, but she didn't notice that after listening to Erfu, the corners of her mouth showed a shallow smile, she beckoned to the fourth master, leaned into the fourth master's ear, and whispered: "I'm afraid she didn't think that she did something bad with good intentions." ”

"You're such a deceitful. Although the fourth master also believed Chen's statement, he didn't want Erfu to believe Chen's words so easily, he turned his head to look at Erfu, shook his head disapprovingly, whispered, and at the same time reached out and scraped the tip of Erfu's nose, causing Erfu to look at him unhappily, then sat up straight, and returned his attention to Chen, who was kneeling down, and asked coldly: "You just said that you added mint leaves and other condiments to the water in which you boiled salted duck eggs?"

Chen was not a stupid person, she finally noticed the accented words in the fourth master's tone.

Mint leaves, this is a good flavor product, the refreshing mint leaf taste, has a good effect on antiemetic, if it weren't for the big palace maid who came to spread the word to say that Erfu has a morning sickness reaction, she really didn't think about adding this flavor of condiment, her messy eyes, with the fourth master's words, turned to the girl standing next to Erfu, although she didn't know if Ya'er wanted to pit her, but she didn't hide it, after all, the mind of the dead friend is not dead and poor, that is definitely everyone's have, she pointed at her in a panic, and said in a choked voice: "The slave maid heard the girl talk about the morning sickness of Fang Fujin, so she wanted to add some mint leaves. ”

Ya'er looked at the sky speechlessly and was silently shot.

She did talk to Xiaoshengzi about Erfu's morning sickness, so as soon as Chen finished speaking, she stepped forward and made a blessing to Erfu and the fourth master, and repeated the conversation between her and Xiaoshengzi.

When the girl came to the small kitchen to serve the dishes, she did mention that the master's morning sickness did not stop, and the slave also specially told the Chen family who prepared the side dishes to be more attentive, but she didn't expect that she would add mint leaves to taste, and the slave was overlooked. Xiao Shengzi did not shirk his responsibility, he lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down beside Chen again, and replied softly.

Although the ignorant are not guilty, but a mistake is a mistake, and no one can prove that Chen really does not know that pregnant women should not take mint leaves, it is related to Erfu's body, the fourth master is careful and careful, he coldly glanced at Chen who defended like a life-saving straw, raised his hand slightly, interrupted what she did not finish, and commanded in a cold voice: " This matter, aunt and when you are unintentional, but if you are wrong, you have to admit punishment, you don't have to say that you are wronged, this mint leaf is put in the pot by your own hands, how can it not be denied, Fang Fujin is a kind-hearted person, I can't bear to ask for your life for this matter, but I can't leave you in the small kitchen as an errand, you will find the housekeeper to change the errand when you go back to the house later. After speaking, he waved his hand impatiently, and ordered Su Peisheng to pull Chen out, this woman's voice was really loud, crying, regardless of it, his ears were about to be deafened by her.

In the eyes of the fourth master, he was tolerant of such a treatment, but in the eyes of the Chen family, she was suffering from the disaster of innocence, and especially hated these nobles who did not care whether their little people lived or died, and her eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of resentment, and she had been paying attention to her Erfu Seeing this, although she did not want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, she did not plan to keep her by her side as an errand, she turned her head to look at the fourth master with an unswerving face, and said in a low voice: "If you can, transfer her to the side of the errand, or stay in the village." ”

Even Erfu could see the things, the fourth master naturally did not ignore it, he smiled and patted the back of her hand, and comforted: "You can rest assured, the master will arrange it, you are still hungry, it is better to hurry up and let Xiaoshengzi prepare some food for you." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Shengzi, and said coldly: "You have made a big mistake today, although the Chen family is a cook who is used to being used in the house, but as the eunuch in charge of the stove in the West Courtyard, you should always be more careful, and the master doesn't want to blame you more, just punish you for three months and a small punishment, but next time, hmph, you yourself will go back where you came from." ”

Xiaoshengzi said that three months of money is nothing, and the fourth master's punishment like this is already to give Erfu face, he will not be so uninteresting, he bowed respectfully, and replied loudly: "The slave thanks the master for his kindness." ”

"Your master is still hungry, so grab a few side dishes. The fourth master waved his hand without saying much, pointed to the side dishes and white porridge that were basically unchanged on the table, gave a cold order, sent the little child out, and helped Erfu into the inner room, sat on the beauty couch, took the soft back pillow very thoughtfully, stuffed it tightly against Erfu's waist, and said with a smile, "Today, you are impressed, if you can keep so vigilant, you can be completely relieved." ”

"What, do you think the concubine is in trouble?" said Erfu.

I saw her raise her eyebrows defiantly, looking like if you dare to say yes, I will dare to blast you out, which caused the fourth master to laugh, took her into his arms, gently stroked her back, and explained in a deep voice: "Don't let you talk so nonsense, I think you have finally grown up, so that even if you are out of the house, you will be more at ease, where is the trouble that dislikes you, you are so unreasonable, it is really not as sensible as our Xiaoqi, and you are not afraid of Xiaoqi laughing at you." ”

This is a tsundere cat owner who scratches his face with flowers at the slightest mistake.
