History of Struggle of Salted Fish

Mother Deng has been in the mansion for eight years. Although she is in charge of the big kitchen in the mansion, she is not really Fan's confidant. She is able to secure her current position because she has always been winking.No, Madam wants to use the kitchen to light a fire in the backyard, so she, a loyal servant, will naturally help add more firewood.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for dinner in the mansion. The master and wife's dinner was delivered to the upper room, but the little maids in the other rooms went to the big kitchen to get the dinner.

Xiao Ke in Aunt Lin's room was the first one to come to the west courtyard today. When she picked up the food box, she felt that the portion in her hand was wrong. A few pieces of wilted cabbage leaves didn't even have any greasy smell, and then I reached out to find Aunt Xie's food box next to it, and there was a blood swallow on the top, and I was instantly furious.

Xiao Ke has always been a scheming person, and after confirming with the cook who packed the food in the kitchen, she took the food box back bitterly, just waiting for the master to make a decision.

Lin Shi was still thinking about how to establish a prestige in the mansion, but he didn't realize that instead of cutting off Xie's bird's nest, he reduced his own dishes, which was clearly a slap in the face of Lin Wanruo.

Since Miss Yu is so ignorant, don't blame her as a concubine for tearing her down.She simply told the people in the house not to touch anyone this time, she would definitely ask the master to uphold justice for her.

After finishing his official duties in the afternoon, Master Yu went to visit Mrs. Fan in the upper room. It was rare for Mrs. Fan to be kind to him, so Mr. Yu stayed in Mrs. Fan's room for dinner today for the first time ever.

Aunt Lin inquired about the master's whereabouts, arranged her clothes and makeup a little, and went to the main courtyard aggressively.

Lin believed she was right, and broke into the dining room without waiting for the transmission.

Fan's face turned cold, just about to explode.Master Yu had already slapped his chopsticks on the table.

"Nonsense, what a shame. Didn't you see my wife and I having dinner?"

"My concubine pays respects to Mrs. Master. It is reckless to disturb Mrs. Mrs. without summons. However, this concubine is also impatient for Brother Rui. I forgot the rules for a while. Please punish Mrs. Master."

"Brother Rui, what happened to him?" The son is Master Yu's weakness, and he really fell into Lin's trap when he heard this.

"Returning to Master, you also know that Brother Rui is now growing up, and I don't know how much I have worked hard to make him more nourishing. Who would have imagined, I don't know which evil slave who is not dedicated, actually put the dinner dishes today Several items were cut, and even the nanny’s soup was replaced with a clear soup with little water. It doesn’t matter if the concubine uses less, but Brother Rui is delicate and expensive, so how can he stand the toss? I’m still hungry at this hour.” Lin’s acting was full of tears, she was talking about evil slaves, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that she was pointing fingers at Sang Huai, if Fan’s victory wasn’t in her hands, she couldn’t help but cry out for her.

"Ma'am, what's going on here? Is there any misunderstanding?" Yu Wenchuan knew that although Fan didn't want to see Lin's mother and son, he never treated them harshly.

"If the master doesn't believe it, you can see it with your own eyes. Xiao Ke, go and bring the soup." Mrs. Lin refused to let go.

Fan laughed in his heart that Lin was still not good enough, and he was too impatient.Since she is digging her own grave, there is no need for Fan to be relentless.

"Since the problem lies in the nanny's tonic soup, I'll call the servant who made this soup. If someone is really a slave to bully the master, I will definitely give you an explanation. Xiu'er, pass on my words and let Mama Deng take Bring people over."

Seeing Fan's calm and unhurried calling, Lin always felt that something was wrong.

Not long after, Deng's mother arrived, followed by a young servant woman with a low eyebrow.

"I have met Mrs. Master, please greet Mrs. Master."

"I've found him, the master will take care of him." Fan Shi made it clear that he would not intervene.

"Aunt Lin said that the servants in the kitchen replaced the soup that Grandma Rui's made with clear soup. Is there such a thing?"

"Master Qi, the soup has indeed been replaced." Mother Deng was very calm, and Yu Wenchuan couldn't help being surprised.

"Oh? You'd be happy to admit it. Tell me, is it your own initiative or someone's instigation, if you don't understand it today, I will not forgive you lightly."

"Where did the master come from? The slaves didn't dare to pretend to be meritorious. They brought someone here to receive the reward. How did it become a punishment? Could it be that the soup nurse is not used to it?"

"It's a joke, this soup is also for the young master's nanny? Look at it yourself, these few rotten vegetable leaves can be used to wash the pot with water. If it is called tonic soup, what I eat every day is not dragon liver and phoenix marrow?" Lin pointed at the food. The untouched vegetable leaf soup in the box went crazy.

"Since my aunt doesn't like it, why don't you give it to the servant girl." The cook who was standing quietly at the side said, filling half a bowl of soup from the empty bowl in the food box, and drank it in one go.Aunt Lin was stunned and didn't know what to say, so she pointed her finger at her and stared blankly.

"The servant girl thought that it was because her craftsmanship had regressed, which prevented the soup from getting into the eyes of the masters. After tasting it, I realized that it was my aunt's preconceived idea that this soup was not good, and she didn't bother to taste it. But my aunt didn't know that she made this soup The materials used here are not as good as dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but they are not far behind."

"Don't argue, let anyone see it, this is a bowl of vegetable soup." Lin's heart was horrified, seeing that the servant woman was calm, she might have come prepared, this time she might be pecked in the eye by an eagle.

"Auntie might as well listen to me before making a conclusion. Let me first say that the main ingredients used in this soup are five kinds of deer fetus, black-bone chicken, ginseng, hoof, and crucian carp. The auxiliary ingredients are red clothes, yam, and white womb. Eight treasures. Because I heard that the young master often coughed at night when the wind and cold entered his body some time ago, the maidservant added Ganoderma lucidum in addition to these eight treasures." Ganoderma lucidum has the effect of relieving cough and strengthening the body, which shows that this cook is still good at medicine.

"If this soup really has so many tonics, why is there no trace of oil?" Lin struggled desperately.

"This is originally a secret method of the palace. My servant's father used to be the imperial cook in the palace. This servant is fortunate to have the true biography of my father. As for the process of concocting, I am sorry that this servant cannot tell the truth. However, if the master and wife intend to take the school exam, this servant is willing to cook it face to face, but others You have to avoid it." The cook meant that she was afraid of people stealing her skills, and I can trust the owner of the house as a person of status, but not servants.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. Isn't there still half a bowl of soup left? Is it water for washing the pot? You can always drink it." Fan Shi saw that the dust had settled before he spoke.

Yu Wenchuan took the cold soup handed by Fan, took a sip carefully, and was full of praise in his heart immediately. The flavors of several ingredients appeared and disappeared, blending with water and milk, and he couldn't taste the fishy smell of crucian carp and deer fetus at all.Even though the soup has been completely cold, the greasy hoof is completely covered by the cabbage.

"It is indeed a rare good soup." Yu Wenchuan concluded.Lin's complexion was pale.

"The whole family of Li, why are you staring blankly? Hurry up and thank the master for your compliment."

"Thank you, master, for your compliment." Li's family continued to stand in her favor after being kind and kind.

"Praise alone is not enough. I think she will be responsible for Brother Rui's three meals of soup in the future. When the child grows up, he can't always cling to the nanny for milk. It's too disrespectful. The Li family is right, you do your best." Serving the young master will not be without your benefits in the future." This is to set up a stove for Ruige alone, and Yu Wenchuan agrees with this, but he also wonders what happened today because Fan never interfered with Ruige's affairs before.

"Thank you, Mrs. Madam, for your praise. There is still a fire on the servant's stove, so let the servant take leave first."

"Okay, you all go down too."

Seeing other people coming out in a file, how could Mrs. Lin be willing to be so deflated, he had some calculations in his heart, and didn't move his feet.

"If you don't back down, what else do you have to say?" Yu Wenchuan looked down upon Lin's self-assertiveness and shot himself in the foot with a stone, but his tone was not very kind.

"This incident is all due to my poor health. I am ignorant and ignorant. I don't know how to see gold and jade. Please don't blame me. It's just that there is still one thing I don't know about my life. I hope my wife can clarify."

"What is unknown?"

"I don't know why the concubine's dinner quota has been reduced? But the concubine offended the wife, so she was punished." Lin was eager to win the game, so he jumped the wall and bit Fan directly.

"That's not true. Except for the two ladies and Nanny Rui, everything else in the mansion has been reduced, even me and the master."

"Why is this? But the family is not enough?" Yu Wenchuan was upset first, he couldn't afford to support his wife and children.

"It's not because of the family, but I recently thought that when I was in Jizhou a few years ago, the family had always been frugal, but when I came to Luzhou, we were spending more and more. I really feel uneasy."

"We are self-sufficient. If we are afraid of being criticized by the clan, there is no need."

"I'm also thinking about the official reputation of the master. A few days ago, I went to Pingyang Hou's mansion as a guest and chatted with his Madam Hou, only to find out that our mansion's expenses are even more expensive than his family's. In the previous dynasty, it was enough to give a sentence of overreach. It is not easy for the master to be an official, and if he goes to Beijing in the future, he needs to be more cautious in his words and deeds." Yu Wenchuan understood, he had seen it before when he was in the Imperial Academy. It is less likely to impeach some important officials of the imperial court who are extravagant and have a bad standing. Some clans were even exposed and dismissed after being exposed.

"In that case, follow what Madam said."

"One more thing, my health is getting worse and worse, and I can't handle housekeeping more and more, especially I have to prepare for returning to Beijing, so I want Qing'er to take over the job of housekeeper, and Aunt Xie will assist me, does the master think it's feasible? "

"Qing'er is also a big girl. It's time for her to practice. Aunt Xie has always been your arm. You can take care of her with peace of mind. Even if something goes wrong, Master and I will be in charge of everything. Eh? What are you doing, Mrs. Lin?" Still here, if you have nothing to do, don’t make trouble in front of Madam, you should retreat first, and don’t leave the hospital for a few days.”

"I am a concubine, I will resign." Lin almost gritted her silver teeth.This battle, she lost completely.

Yu Wenchuan accompanied Fan back to the house, and retreated the servants.

"You tell me the truth, but the government doesn't have enough expenses?"

"When did I let the master worry about such trifles? It's just that in my opinion, even if you are rich, you have to talk about it for a long time. Besides, after arriving in Beijing, I don't know how many relationships need to be dredged up. The children are growing up day by day. You have to plan ahead .Master, don’t underestimate the expenses of the back house. After a year, there will always be [-].”

"There are so many. These years, I have really worked hard for you." Yu Wenchuan calculated that he only allocated a few thousand taels to the inner house every year. After being married for 15 years, he was really on the soft side, and suddenly he could no longer be hard-nosed.

"One family doesn't talk about two families. You and I have been husband and wife for many years. I don't plan for you, but for whom. In the past, I was competitive. Didn't the master tolerate me too?" Yu Wenchuan's words were very useful.

"I have one more thing to discuss with the master. Although the Lin family is innocent, Brother Rui is the master's flesh and blood. I want to raise Rui brother in the upper room from today, so as not to be dragged down by his useless biological mother. After all Well, our Yu family only has this single seedling, so we can't see him grow crooked."

"Madam is willing to educate Brother Rui personally. I'm so happy that it's too late. I'll let someone inform Mrs. Lin, and let Brother Rui come to the room tomorrow."

Fan shi smiled slightly, but what she thought in her heart was, Lin shi thought that after giving birth to a son, mother would be more expensive than her son?I broke your wings today, and I will never let you stir up trouble in the future.
