Chapter 9 Division of Labor
Seeing that Du's mother is still muttering.Chu Liangrao thought with a black thread hanging on his head: his own mother has passed away for more than ten years, so she should have been reincarnated a long time ago, so there is no such thing as a spirit in the sky.

In fact, compared to whether Chu Chaoyang's sentence will be commuted, Chu Liangrao is more concerned about whether he will cheat.

After Chu Liangrao woke up, Chu Chaoyang went on a "business trip", and even the news of the confinement was conveyed to her by the princess.So when she learned that she was going to meet the Lord's biological father tomorrow, Chu Liangrao was still a little apprehensive.After thinking about it, the concubine and the old lady in this mansion haven't noticed anything unusual yet, logically speaking, it should not be difficult to get away with it.But Chu Chaoyang is a soldier after all, and he is also a capable soldier. Would he really not notice it at all?
Putting his cheeks on his hands, Chu Liangrao looked melancholy, yes, melancholy.

She didn't mean to come into this body that was so fat that she could hardly move, could she choose it?Once upon a time, she was also a goddess in the eyes of others. Facing this situation where too many words would cause tears, Chu Liangrao had to cheer up 12 points, so as not to be mistaken as a fairy by accident. K. Oh, can she not feel sad?

At the same time, Chu Liangrao also discovered a serious problem, which was the blocking of news.

Although she herself was strictly forbidden by her father to go out, the maids in this yard were not included in this category. If Mrs. Gu deliberately postponed the notification of this matter today, how could she have time to prepare mentally?From this point of view, it is time to teach these maids to go out and find out the situation.

Now that the new maids are not familiar with other people in the house, naturally they can't ask the new maids to inquire about something, and Mama Du's visit will only increase people's suspicion.As for Ding Lan, the half-old man in the room, it made people worry whether her character was up to the task.

After much deliberation, Chu Liangrao decided to play combination cards.

Immediately, Chu Liangrao asked Mother Du to call several maidservants in to talk, and Ding Xiang came in first.When Ding Xiang heard the news that the prince would return to the mansion tomorrow, she guessed that her own affairs could only be postponed, so when Chu Liangrao mentioned it, she understood very well, and consciously postponed the date for a few days.

Mama Du already had affection for Ding Xiang. Seeing how sensible she was, she nodded and comforted her: "Just these two days, I won't waste time. Mom will definitely accompany you to get things done properly."

After getting this guarantee, Ding Xiang bowed her knees to thank her and said: "My maidservant thanked mother first." Her expression was less depressed, and she regained the livelyness that should be at this age.

After ordering Ding Xiang, the two maids Ding Lan and Zhen'er came in afterward. After hearing Chu Liangrao's arrangement, Mama Du thought carefully that these two maids were the most suitable candidates.On the other hand, that girl Zhu'er is too active, don't get tricked by someone instead of telling her the truth.

Both Ding Lan and Zhen'er knew everything, and they had no objection to Chu Liangrao's arrangement.

The last one to come in was Zhu'er, Chu Liangrao had nothing to do with her, but he had to find something to do, so as not to make Zhu'er have useless thoughts.Naturally, Chu Liangrao would not point out something to her casually, first told her the importance of work, and then sent Zhu'er to the small kitchen to help Ma Si's family.

Zhu'er's job is not easy, the kitchen area is like a stove on a hot day, she is somewhat overqualified for such a job as a second-class maid.But Zhu'er didn't think too much about it, and agreed seriously, without any dissatisfaction.

In fact, Chu Liangrao had spent a lot of thought on making such an arrangement, Ding Xiang might not be able to withdraw her mind to do things now that her affairs were not over.As for Ding Lan and Zhen'er, one is quiet and the other is cheerful. Ding Lan has long been familiar with the people in the house, and it is not too abrupt to talk to them, while Zhen'er is in charge of familiarizing the clichés. The two of them are like Qin'er and Hua'er generally complementary.As for Zhu'er, going to the kitchen is not only to hone her skills, but also to let her imitate Ma Sijia's calm temperament, so as not to be too active and make mistakes.

Mother Du watched Chu Liangrao talk a lot before serving tea, Chu Liangrao also felt dry mouthed and took a sip, and said to Zhu'er: "Now I'm going to talk about a dish, you go tell Ma Si's about it. What to do, if you don't do well, you have to eat it up for me."

Zhu'er's eyes widened, she nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Princess, this servant will definitely keep it in my heart."

Chu Liangrao thought about it for a while, and thought of a pork ribs soup with chicken feet in a cold soup. This dish is warm but not dry, and it is suitable for summer.

"Remove the tip of the chicken feet, cut the ribs into pieces and set aside. Slice the ginger, then soak and wash the red dates, wolfberry, Codonopsis pilosula, and Chinese yam. Put these ingredients into a clay pot, add water and boil on high heat, and then simmer for an hour .Add salt to taste, and it will be ready in another two quarters of an hour." After Chu Liangrao finished speaking, seeing Zhu'er's perplexed face, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I'll say it again."

After repeating it twice, Zhu'er finally remembered, and after reciting it in front of Chu Liangrao, she hurriedly went to look for Ma Si's family, for fear that she might forget on the way.Along the way, he kept chanting: "Huaishan...Dangshen, what else is there?"

Almost trotting all the way to the kitchen, Pearl saw Ma Si's family and recited the menu in a row. Ma Si's family memorized the menu after listening to it, and brought water for Pearl to drink and said: "Look. You are sweating, what are you running in this hot day?"

After drinking water and panting for breath, Zhu Er finally explained the reason.

The members of Ma Si's family guessed Chu Liangrao's intentions after hearing this, so they fell in love with Zhu'er, and asked Zhu'er to accompany them when making this soup.People in this day and age are still very scruples about the disciples starving to death of their masters. Zhu'er was very moved by Ma Sijia's doing so. She also put her heart and soul into her studies and had a very correct attitude.

After adding clear water and bringing the fire to a boil, Masi's family changed the fire to a simmer, and said to Zhu'er: "The heat is the most important thing when cooking soup. If the fire is high and low for a while, the soup will not be clear or clear when it is boiled." Fragrant."

Pearl remembered these points one by one, and stood in front of the stove to watch the fire.Before entering the palace, she was also used to rough work, but she couldn't help it just because of the fire.

Sitting in front of the stove, Zhu'er took out her handkerchief from time to time to wipe the sweat from her forehead, but she never moved her eyes from the stove.Ma Sijia, who was secretly watching from the side, also showed a smile when she saw her usual calm expression, but she didn't help Zhu'er watch the fire because of this, she just prepared other dishes on the side, and the two of them went their own way and lived in peace .

Finally when the time came, Ma Si's family looked at the color of the soup, saw that the color of the soup was clear and not greasy, so they nodded to Zhu'er.Zhu'er got the affirmation, and a big smile appeared on her face. Chadu's mother came to see how the dinner was being prepared, and she saw a deep smile on her red face. She didn't have the slightest resentment for being sent to this place. , only felt that Chu Liangrao's arrangement was quite reasonable and effective.
