Chapter 21 Habit
"Brother Li has had no brothers and sisters since he was a child. It's hard to have Yun'er now. In the future, I will treat you as the person around me."
"People around you? Isn't it a relative?" Ye Ziyun asked with some surprise.
"Yes, you call me Brother Li, who is the closest person around me. It must be the person around me." Li Jin thinks that this explanation is really a little bit like three hundred taels of silver here.
A servant waited in the corridor downstairs. When he saw Qiu Shuang coming, he hurried forward and said as he walked, "The girl is here. Housekeeper Yang is waiting for you in the hall." After leading Qiu Shuang into the hall, Butler Yang immediately stood up from his seat and said, "Miss Qiu Shuang is here. Is she better?"
Even if the young lady is a distinguished guest, after all, butler Yang is an elder. Qiu Shuang said politely, "Please remember that the young lady has woken up and drank some porridge. At this time, Mr. Li is talking with her. Seeing that the lady's lunch was about to be prepared, he sent me to tell you about her eating habits.
Butler Yang rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "That's good, that's good, it's good to wake up. Miss's illness is very anxious for our grandfather. Thinking that the savior will get sick as soon as he comes, he is really not taken good care of, and he is very sorry. I have repeatedly told us that we must do what you tell us to do, and we can't do anything more. Since you're here, please sit down. If there is anything you need to pay attention to, just tell us directly, and we will do it.
Qiu Shuang immediately stopped and said, "I really can't bear it if you are always like this."
Housekeeper Yang said modestly, "I absolutely deserve it. Miss Ye was born in everyone, and the girls around her are all first-class talents. What's more, Miss Ye is still our master's lifesaver. Now she is an important guest here. It's not too much. Five people pointed to the side and introduced to her: "These are the two cooks and three helpers I picked out from the room. From today on, I will specially prepare food for the young lady. I called them today to ask Miss Qiushuang to give them advice. I told the young lady to cook food according to Mr. Fan's advice. We just came to ask the young lady in advance what she has to pay attention to and what taboos. In the future, we have to trouble Miss Qiu Shuang and ask the girl to take care of it more.
"What does Housekeeper Yang say? We are all for the lady's health. In this case, let me talk about some things that need to be paid attention to in Miss's diet.
signaling everyone to sit down, Qiu Shuang said, "Since Mr. Fan ordered beef, mutton and dog meat, we will follow it. Miss doesn't eat dog meat, and mutton should also be pickled and air-dried. Miss likes to eat this kind of food with a spicy taste, so no matter what you want to do, remember to add some Sichuan pepper, ginger and dog dogs. Miss Green Leaf Vegetables like it. As long as the leaves don't stalk, there are two kinds of green leafy vegetables that don't eat. One is leeks and the other is toon buds. In case you accidentally touch these two, you must wash your hands and then take the lady's ingredients. The knife should also be separated. The young lady can't smell this. The young lady eats green vegetables is relatively light. Don't put too much. More seasoning. In addition, the young lady doesn't eat sour food, and she can't put vinegar in all dishes. The young lady likes sweets, but she absolutely can't put sugar in the dishes. She should make sweet soup for her alone. Miss likes to drink soup. The soup with pure ingredients is the best. If you really want to add accessories, that is, add one or two. Don't be too complicated. In fact, it is quite simple. To sum up, there are no more than two main ingredients in each dish, and there are no more than five seasoning ingredients, including oil and salt. You can think about it first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me now.
Listening to a long list of young ladies who like this lady and don't like that one, Housekeeper Yang smacked his tongue, thinking that this lady is really very picky. There are not many things to eat, and her habits are strange. The requirements are not low. Fortunately, she was born in a rich family, otherwise it would be difficult to raise this food alone. Can afford it. The master who came from home was very willing. In the past two days when he came back, he didn't see what he had asked. He circled around the young lady all day long and made such a big noise in order to eat. Who knew what would happen in the future, but it was rare for us. He shook his head and said, "While the girl is here, you have asked what you don't know clearly. How did you know? You don't need me to repeat it again. Don't care about anything now. As long as you can arrange the young lady's three meals a day, someone will prepare anything for you. Everyone in the house knows that the young lady was sick for a day yesterday and didn't get any water. I'm very worried. Do you have the honor to stay and continue to serve the young lady? Today's lunch is the key. You can think about what to do.
Maybe he was scared by the posture, and several people dared not speak for a moment. After a while, one of the older cooks said, "Housekeeper Yang, the girl just said that the young lady doesn't eat fresh mutton, which can't be cured for a while. Mr. Fan also ordered that he can only make these things, and all kinds of combinations. Today's lunch dishes will be made with beef, and we will follow the girl's requirements. Prepare more styles, invite the girl to have a look before eating, and withdraw the inappropriate ones. As for the tonics such as Xueyan, ginseng, and donkey-hide gelatin, we will take turns to make them for the group three times a day. Do you think this is okay?
Housekeeper Yang looked at Qiu Shuang with an inquiring eye, waiting for her to make a decision. Qiu Shuang thought about it and could only do this. After all, in other people's home, she is not familiar with their habits. Let's try it first. It won't be inappropriate to make so many of them. She nodded and said, "This method is okay. I'm afraid it's too troublesome for everyone."
Butler Yang said very seriously, "The girl is too polite. Now the young lady's body is the most important thing. As long as she can help the young lady get better quickly, no matter what, how can there be trouble?"
Although this is Mr. Li's attitude, Qiu Shuang still thanked Housekeeper Yang for his support and said to him, "You're welcome. Let's talk about this for the time being today. I will tell you if there is anything to change in the future. If nothing happens, I'll go first."
When Qiu Shuang returned upstairs, his wife and the prince had already come over and were sitting with Mr. Li chatting with the young lady. Qiu Shuang didn't go in to disturb them. She moved a small stool and sat by the door with flowers and rusty flowers, listening to the movement in the room. Several little maids came around and asked her in a low voice what was rusty. Qiu Shuang took out the posture of the big maid and taught them a lesson: "Don't just chat, pay attention to the movement inside. Don't let the masters do nothing for a long time. Do you hear?"
Ling'er usually has the most contact with her. She knows that Qiu Shuang is not so difficult to talk to. She said to her: "I know, sister, we will pay attention to it."
They are all a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls who get together to talk about their daughter's things such as clothes, hand jewelry and so on. Qiu Shuang is too lazy to join them. She sat on the quiet rust flowers and looked through the cracks of the door from time to time.
Ye Ziyun finally woke up. I don't think he wants to leave or can leave, so lunch must be here. A table was temporarily moved to eat in the outside of the bedroom. The maid entered with a food box and filled a large table of cups, bowls and plates, which made people dizzy. Ye Ziyun was even more dizzy and shouted dissatisfiedly, "It's your fault that you don't even let me live a meal."
The princess took her hand and let her sit next to her and annoys her: "Why are you child like this? Everyone cares about you. Look at the good things you have done. You said that you can't drink and don't listen. Now you have a disease, so everyone is worried about you. You are ashamed to say this. Let's see if you dare to do it in the future."
Reite the old story, Ye Ziyun quickly surrendered and cleverly picked up his chopsticks to prepare for dinner. This meal was obviously prepared to take care of Ye Ziyun's mood. When the food was first served, Qiu Shuang did not hesitate to pick out the dishes that her young lady didn't like. For so many years, they have been used to it. Anyway, it was the same in the royal palace, and the family accommodated her.
The maid who reported the name of the dish had been standing on the side for a long time. When several masters sat down, they pointed to a plate of dishes and said loudly, "This is a rich flower blooming. Please taste it."
Ye Ziyun glanced at it. Isn't it just two mushrooms on the beef? Why do you make so many famous flowers? "Rich flowers bloom"? The plate with vegetables is quite rich and noble. The authentic Ruyao celadon, the two "flowers" also bloom very well. Qiu Shuang put a piece of beef in her bowl. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Ye Ziyun had to pick it up and put it in her mouth. Maybe she was sick and had no taste in her mouth. She barely tasted it and swallowed it with an unsatisfactory smile.
Watching her swallow, the maid who reported the name of the dish on the side breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the dish on the side and continued: "Colorful clouds flying phoenix", that is, cloud leg fried pigeon slices, "jastrel rust ball", that is, winter melon fish meatballs, "golden chicken to announce the dawn", a whole chicken. The name is good. Ye Ziyun has tasted one by one, and the taste is also sloppy. Looking at her calm expression, the servants waiting beside him were relieved. It seemed that the master could give it to him.
Surrounded by a room, Ye Ziyun couldn't stand it anymore. Finally, she said, "You all looked at me with this expression and asked me how to eat?"
Li Jin first reacted and waved to the servant: "There is no need to be served here. Let's go down." Without looking at her, he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and lowered his head to concentrate on eating.
Ye Xiche wanted to explain everyone's kindness. Ye Ziyun immediately interrupted him: "Brother, 'Don't say anything, don't say anything'!" I had to suppress my words abruptly and didn't bother to pay attention to her. She shook her head helplessly. The princess poked her head with a smile and advised her to eat more while giving her vegetables.
After dinner, when the servants finished cleaning up, they withdrew the table for dinner and served tea. Li Jin waved his hand, and the servants retreated to the door. Everyone continued to sit outside and drink tea and chat, while Ye Ziyun was helped by Qiu Shuang back to the inner bedroom to lie down.
