Lady Gu 10,000 Years
LG-37S
Right after midnight, the Bai family carriage arrived.
The one who came to pick them up was a servant from Bai Manor. His last name was Ding and he was the same age as his uncle.
The original plan was for Uncle Yu, Yu Wan, and Yu Feng to leave. However, Little Bruiser suddenly woke up and hugged Yu Wan, crying over wanting to leave with her.
“I will work, not play.” Moreover, he did not sell any items in the market and he would return in two to four hours.
Little Bruiser refused to let Yu Wan off.
Yu Song walked out and cleared his throat. “Bruiser has never been to the Capital before. Let him go. At most, I'll keep an eye on him.”
Yu Wan and Yu Feng shot daggers at him. You just want to go alone, don't you?!
Little Bruiser did not make Yu Wan soften from her cotequish, but instead, she softened her uncle's heart.
It is not a big deal to take care of a child. Almost all the chefs in the countryside would take with them their children, but it was different from in the city.
Uncle looked at Steward Ding.
Steward Ding said generously, “It's okay, as long as anyone watches.”
Thus, Yu Song and Little Bruiser managed to board the carriage.
Other than Uncle Yu, this was their first time entering the Capital. At first, they were a little excited and wanted to see the scenery along the way. However, they did not even pass through Lotus Flower City before they all fell asleep on the carriage.
By the time they were awakened by Steward Ding, they had already entered Bai Manor.
The sky is still dark.
“Quickly! Uncle Ding!”
As soon as Yu Wan got down from the carriage, a young man with a graceful appearance led the three vegetable vendors carrying poles and hurriedly walked past.
The young man and Steward Ding greeted each other. Steward Ding snorted indifferently and gestured for him to leave. The young man and the vegetable seller entered the bamboo warehouse while on the right. It is mainly used for storing materials and tools. Ten steps further east is the kitchen.
The kitchen is huge. There are two pages in front and back. There's a well in the backyard. There are nine stoves in the kitchen. Five were around the wall, and four were in the middle, and eight of them were already occupied.
Steward Ding led Yu Wan and the others to the deepest stove and said slowly, “There is only one pan in each stove. If not enough, there was a small stove in the bamboo warehouse. I'll ask someone to bring me breakfast later. Thank you for your hard work today.”
This supervisor did not pay much attention to the young man who greeted him earlier. He was very polite to Yu Wan and the others after Bai Tang said something to him.
Uncle Yu thanked him.
Steward Ding gave Uncle Yu a token to use to collect his items. “Young Miss is in the reception pavilion. There were many guests today, so he might not have time to come to the kitchen. If you have any problems, tell the servants in the bamboo warehouse to find me.”
Yu Song muttered, “Bai Manor is huge. Why would he take care of it himself?”
Steward Ding smiled and said, “Dutiful Young Miss.”
Yu Song: “Oh.”
There were some things that Yu Song did not know, but Yu Feng had heard of them.
Miss Bai was the first daughter of Old Master Bai and his late wife. The late wife had only given birth to such a daughter after being married to Old Master Bai for ten years. After that, she had no more children. When Miss Bai was five years old, she passed away.
A year later, Old Master Bai remarried and she gave birth to a fat boy.
There were rumors that Miss Bai and her stepmother did not get along.
Miss Bai did not want the Bai family assets to fall into the hands of her half-brother. If it was someone else, they would naturally not be able to do so. It is right and proper for a boy to inherit his father's business. However, they could not stand the fact that their stepmother was of low descent and was always pressured by her late wife.
“Grandfather Miss Bai is an official in court.” As for what the official position was, Yu Feng did not know.
Not long after Waiter Ding left, a waiter brought him breakfast. It was a white steamed bun and millet porridge, accompanied by pickled vegetables, salted eggs, and a plate of fried cabbage with preserved meat.
Little Bruiser drooled.
Little Bruiser ate voraciously.
After eating, he obediently moved the stool to sit in the courtyard. He was very obedient and did not make a fuss.
Initially, Yu Song continued to watch over him. After a while, he realized that Little Bruiser could sit better than him. He coughed lightly and turned around to help his family.
There were chefs from Bai Manor as well as people from White Jade Restaurant who came to cook today. Both sides were from the Bai Family, except for the Yu Wan family.
“I heard that Miss personally went to the countryside to invite her.”
“Nona being silly. How could he use a chef from the countryside for Mr's birthday banquet?”
Everyone shook their heads, clearly not believing that some hick can make a delicious dish.
Yu Feng and Yu Wan went to the bamboo warehouse to collect the materials. There were dozens of fresh ducks among them.
A duck must be slaughtered on the spot. This kind of work used to belong to Yu Feng, but ever since Yu Wan came, Yu Feng's blade skills were greatly hated.
Yu Wan brought the duck into the backyard.
The sky gradually brightened.
Under the warm morning light, the girl was sweating profusely with a knife in her hand. Duck feathers blown by the cold wind.
In the Yan House on the other hand, Yan Ruyu slept until dawn.
The room was warm and comfortable. Twelve servants entered the line, carrying excellent toiletries and eight sets of clothes for her to choose from.
Today is the big day. He had meticulously dressed himself for a long time. She chose a lake-blue long corset dress, a plain white rabbit fur halter jacket, and a pair of fine silver suet jade earrings.
The young girl was graceful and beautiful.
The moment Madam Yan entered the house, she saw her daughter, who looked like a fairy descending from the mural, and she was completely stunned. He grabbed his daughter's hand excitedly. My daughter, Young Master Yan will never see another woman in her life after seeing you!
Today was also Yu Wan's big day.
This is a rare opportunity. He wanted to help his uncle prepare the dishes and make a name for themselves. In the future, when he received many orders, he no longer needed to worry about not having enough money to eat and treat illnesses.
All the ducks had been cleaned, and his body was covered in blood. He was in a sorry state, but he didn't care about it. He hurriedly went to cut the carrots and yams.
In addition to texture, coating is also very important.
He cut it very well. White petals, purple edges, yellow stamens. There were water droplets on his petals, layered and smooth. It did not look like it was made of materials, but rather like it had just been plucked from a tree.
“Kak.” Little Bruiser walked pitifully.
Yu Wan stopped what she was doing. “What's wrong? Are you hungry?”
Little Bruiser nodded. Lately her n*fsu food is increasing and she is always hungry after a while.
It was not yet time to eat, and the meat in the pot was not yet ripe. Fortunately, Yu Wan was ready. “I brought some scallion pancakes. I'll find a stove to heat it for you.”
Yu Wan went to the bamboo warehouse to pick up a small stove. He found a quiet corner in the backyard and carefully made a fire. He prepared a small cauldron, poured a spoonful of oil, and placed three large, round scallion pancakes in it. The scent of fried leeks wafted out.
Little Bruiser moved his stool.
After the scallion pancakes were heated, Yu Wan turned off the open fire, leaving only a small amount of charcoal to continue roasting the bottom of the cauldron.
“Kak, do your job. I'll eat by myself!” Little Bruiser said wisely.
“Oke.” Yu Wan went to work.
Little Bruiser stayed behind to eat the pancakes. This was a mutton pancake, carrot, and chives made by Yu Wan herself. It smells good, but it tastes…
“I'm not a picky sister!” Little Bruiser said, patting his chest.
