Chapter Eighty-Seven: Old Liu
Su Peisheng pretended to be a grandson in front of the fourth master, and he was definitely a grandfather like others, looking at the embarrassed look of the old Liu Tou, he didn't care, and said: "Grandpa Liu, you have to know whose mansion this fourth master is, our fourth master wants you to open the big stove in the dining room at this time, and you still have a reason to shirk it, but I think our fourth master can't move you!"
How dare Lao Liu Tou argue with the celebrity in front of the fourth master, he hurriedly sent a heavy purse, patted his chest with a smile, and said loudly: "Father-in-law Su, you have misunderstood what we mean, we are so people who don't know the height of the sky, don't you want to ask the fourth master if he is not satisfied with the snacks at night, and wants to eat something else, so he can save himself from having a business trip and bothering Father-in-law Su to run a trip!"
It stands to reason that Su Peisheng shouldn't have come to this matter, after all, he was not a slave of the West Courtyard, but in Su Peisheng's eyes, whoever has the heart of the master is his second master.
Fortunately, Su Peisheng is like this, he doesn't step on those who don't want to win people, and he pounces on the fourth master with all his thoughts, but he doesn't provoke the disgust of the women in the yard, but he also rewards him richly, hoping to let Su Peisheng take a look, and Su Peisheng also collects money and doesn't do anything, where the master says to rest, he will follow the master wherever he goes.
Now others may not be able to see the importance that the fourth master attaches to the master of Guerjia, but this Su Peisheng, who has been following the fourth master since he was a child, is really real, don't look at the fourth master who has also been cold in the small courtyard, but he is still worried about it, otherwise why would he go for no reason!
The fourth master instructed him to prepare a meal again, Su Peisheng saw that it was not early at this time, I was afraid that if the people from the west courtyard came, they would not be able to receive anything, and they would have to be ridiculed by the people in the dining room. Naturally, they took on the work of ordering food, and Yuqing and the others also thought of Su Peisheng's good.
Su Peisheng saw that Lao Liu Tou was relieved, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's not that our master is staying at the other end of the West Courtyard today, the master of the West Courtyard is waiting for the master to eat, but he forgot about himself, and our fourth master feels sorry for the master." Naturally, he told us to come and take a trip!"
After speaking. Su Peisheng looked at Lao Liu and showed a smile of "you know".
A few days ago, Erfu was trampled on by the people in the house, but it didn't hide from Su Peisheng's ears. It's just that seeing that the fourth master hasn't asked these days, this Su Peisheng pretended not to know, but now that the fourth master is doting on the master of the West Courtyard, Su Peisheng can't watch them grind people.
Old Liu Tou smiled. said again and again: "The master is the most considerate, and the master is also blessed." Let's go and order someone to prepare things, and ask Grandpa Su to go to our place to rest!"
"Come on, I've also reached the word, and the master can't leave anyone. You just have to order someone to send it over!" Su Peisheng glanced at Lao Liu's oil-stained apron, waved his hand hurriedly, and said.
"Then you go slowly!" Old Liu didn't stay long. He bowed and said.
Su Peisheng turned around and left the dining room. Only then did Lao Liu Tou stand up straight, spat lightly with disdain on his face, and muttered softly: "Something!"
However, Lao Liu Tou didn't look down on Su Peisheng, but he didn't dare to delay this work, and hurriedly beckoned a few other cooks who had been washing and resting to come over, and hurriedly explained a little bit, and then he held a small purple clay pot again, sipped tea at the spout, and stared at the busy dining room.
Everyone picked up the wood with a high flame, and the big guys were all familiar with it, and the movements were naturally quick, and after a while, four side dishes and a cup of hot chestnut porridge were prepared.
After Lao Liu Tou tried them one by one, he beckoned the little eunuch to send them over, ordered someone to reseal the big stove, left only the two stoves for boiling water, returned to the room, sat at the square table again, and drank a sip of peanuts and a sip of wine.
................................................
On the other hand, Su Peisheng returned to the West Courtyard, and he didn't go to the fourth master to recruit people, so the little eunuch who asked Yuqing to wait for the meal was directly shrunk into the tea room on the side, and immediately faded the boots under his feet, and ate snacks while leaning on the boots.
After a while, as Su Peisheng said, a cleanly dressed little eunuch was specially arranged in the dining room to come and serve, Yuqing hurriedly sent the reward silver, and walked into the room with a large food box.
Erfu was leaning on the fourth master with a flushed face, and the two of them shared a lake pen and wrote big characters in their hands.
"Master, master, someone from the dining room has sent someone to deliver food!" Yuqing knocked lightly on the door and said softly.
The fourth master pinched Erfu's little nose, stuffed the pen into Erfu's hand, and said: "Look at the dog crawling words you wrote, if you don't practice well, there will be times when you will be embarrassed!"
As he spoke, the fourth master pulled on his soft-soled shoes and called into Yuqing loudly.
On the small kang table, Erfu threw the paper she wrote everywhere, hurriedly beckoned Yuqing to clean up, and walked into the screen to wash her hands.
Yuqing's hands and feet were nimble, and without waiting for Erfu to come out, he had already cleaned up his things, set up two sets of dishes respectively, and called the little eunuch who came in to try the dishes, and then retreated to the side in a regular manner.
The little eunuch was stunned, this maid is no longer dining next to her, and the rules of this western courtyard are too bad.
It's not that Yuqing's rules are bad, but Erfu doesn't like someone to help with the dishes, when he eats the palace banquet in the palace, he has to use people to cloth the vegetables, and now in his own yard, Erfu naturally thinks that the more natural the better, even with the fourth master to eat now, he doesn't like someone to cook on the side.
Erfu washed her little hands again, wiped her face on the makeup mirror on the shelf, and then walked out of the screen again, and then looked at the fourth master and looked at the little eunuch trying the dishes seriously, so Erfu secretly said that the acting talent of the fourth master is really good!
After the little eunuch tried them one by one, he waited for half an hour, then he retreated and exited the room, carrying the food box he had received from the West Courtyard before, returned to the big kitchen, handed over the things to the mother-in-law who was waiting in the big kitchen, and walked directly to Lao Liu's room.
This old Liu Tou can come out of the fourth master of the elder brother, it is definitely not a fool, on the contrary, it is a cunning old fox, and although no one knows this little eunuch to the outside world, but he is the apprentice of the real old Liu Tou, and he goes everywhere to collect the wind for the old Liu Tou on weekdays, for fear that this old Liu Tou will inadvertently kick the iron plate.
Originally, as soon as Erfu entered the house, he often tossed the cook in the big kitchen, so that Lao Liu Tou paid some attention to it, and secretly said that the master of this small courtyard in the west was a favored person, but after the birthday banquet of the fourth master a few days ago, this master did not give special orders, but carried whatever the big kitchen prepared.
Old Liu Tou only thought that the master had fallen out of favor, although he did not deliberately let people snub the West Courtyard, but he did not restrain the people in the big kitchen to snub the West Courtyard, and now that Su Peisheng is here, it makes the old Liu Tou's heart tighten, so he sent his little apprentice over to take a look, but what did the master say to the fourth master.
It's just that this old Liu Tou really thought about the wrong thing, this Erfu is a big grinning person, and he likes to eat vegetable soup and soak rice on weekdays, so he didn't notice this cold and hot rice, and Erfu felt that the big kitchen was on the edge of the yard, going back and forth, this time was constant, and naturally she couldn't ask this meal to be as if it had just come out of the pot, as long as it wasn't completely cold, she felt that it was normal.
In addition, Yuqing and others deliberately concealed it, and they didn't want their master to be sad about these things, so the people in the west courtyard were wronged in the dining room, and this Erfu really didn't know, even if Erfu knew, he would only tell the cook to reheat it, and the small kitchen on the left and right was also open, and the firewood burned all day, which was not a trouble!
The little eunuch hurriedly returned to Lao Liu's room, and saw that his master had been drunk and his face was flushed, he gently closed the door, stood at the square table, held a pot and refilled a glass of wine for Lao Liutou, and said softly: "Master, the little one just walked away from the west courtyard, and the little one looked at the master with a normal expression, and it didn't seem like he was angry!"
"It's good if you're not angry, it's good if you're not angry, Su Peisheng's dog leg always takes the opportunity to squeeze the old man's coffin, it's not a good thing, you have to guard against him!" Although the old Liu Tou was drunk, he was still sober in the end, nodded slightly, and said softly.
"The apprentice knows, it's just that the master is obviously serving the master in the courtyard, why are you having an unpleasant quarrel with the Su Guild!" the little eunuch asked with some understanding.
Lao Liu Tou glanced at the little eunuch, took two sips of wine in a row, and then put down the small wine cup in his hand, and said unhappily: "That Su Peisheng is not a good thing when he is small, and he is troublesome with us people all day long, who doesn't know that the fourth master likes light dishes, so we people are even more strenuous to make vegetarian dishes, but this old gelding just said that the fourth master doesn't like to eat, and the master didn't let the chief manager clean it up for this matter."
You said that the fourth master is the master, the dragon son and the dragon grandson, then you have to hold it, what is this Su Peisheng, at best, he is a dog fighting human power, but he is biased in the eyes of the fourth master.
Back then, the Ministry of Internal Affairs felt that those of us who were serving in Brother Ah were getting older and wanted to change a batch of new people, so we had to obediently make room for people, we had been spooning for a lifetime, and we also wanted to find a place to support the elderly!
Imagine adopting an adopted son like someone else, we don't have such a big belongings, and we are afraid of touching the black-hearted one and rolling up our coffin book, so I want to give some silver to the old dog Su, so that he can mention us to the fourth master.
But this Su Peisheng seemed to have a seal on his mouth, and he refused to come out of this way, and it was also a loss that the master of the East Courtyard was pregnant at that time, and he liked the dishes we cooked, and the people who served in this house did not make that taste, so this master asked us back from the Internal Affairs Office. ”
The little eunuch didn't expect that his master and Su Peisheng would have such a festival, so he couldn't help but listen to Leng and forgot to pour wine. (To be continued)
