Sweet Plum Love: The New Wife Has Come of Age
Chapter 168 The Breakfast Storm
Tong Yuxi woke up early the next morning. After tidying herself up briefly, she sneaked down the stairs. After checking that there was no one around, Tong Yuxi headed towards her destination—the kitchen. go.
"Miss Tong, why did you get up so early today?"
Suddenly a voice came from the side, and Tong Yuxi almost shouted.
"What, it turned out to be you, Uncle Housekeeper, you really scared me to death just now."
Tong Yuxi was relieved when she turned her head and saw that it was the housekeeper. She patted her chest in shock and said.
"I'm really sorry for scaring Miss Tong just now."
The butler uncle saluted Tong Yuxi seriously, and then he put on a smiling expression.
"Then Miss Tong, can you tell me why I got up so early today?"
Tong Yuxi became stiff in an instant, she tried her best to keep her original expression but in fact the villain in her heart had already started to hug her head and howl.How to do how to do?If the housekeeper knew about it, then Mother Shao would know about it too.
"Uh... Well, I just woke up early this morning accidentally. Then I couldn't fall asleep, um, that's right, I decided to come down for a walk because I couldn't sleep."
Tong Yuxi rolled her eyes and quickly made up an excuse, the butler uncle frowned with a smile that was not a smile.
"Did Miss Tong really come down because she couldn't sleep?"
His eyes flicked to the kitchen next to him, he could see Tong Yuxi's actions just now clearly, the definite look of the destination was clearly planned, not like someone who just came down to wander around because he couldn't sleep man?
"Uh... what, Uncle Housekeeper, can you not tell Mother Shao?"
Seeing that the matter must not be hidden, Tong Yu simply broke the jar.
"Don't tell Madam? Miss Tong, you have to tell me first, what's the reason for getting up so early today?"
The housekeeper said with a smile, if he wanted him to hide the master above, he had to come up with a reason that could persuade him, otherwise, even the young lady and the young master would not be able to change his loyalty to the master.
"Can't I choose not to say it?"
Tong Yu looked at the housekeeper in embarrassment, she really didn't want to tell others about what happened yesterday.
"Then I can't promise Miss Tong. After all, my wife asked me to pay more attention to Miss Tong last night."
The housekeeper's uncle suddenly spoke a surprising word, and Tong Yuxi stared at him with wide-eyed eyes.
"Mother Shao asked the housekeeper to pay attention to me? Why?"
Does she seem to have done nothing wrong?Could it be... is it because she expressed her desire to go back yesterday too clearly, so mother Shao asked the housekeeper to watch over her, in case she slipped away before the time came?
"Looking at Miss Tong's appearance, I should have already guessed what Madam meant, so what is Miss Tong's current situation?"
The butler uncle nodded to confirm Tong Yuxi's thoughts.
"Don't worry, Uncle Housekeeper, I promised Mother Shao yesterday that she would stay at home until the next inspection is over, so I won't leave early before the time is up."
Tong Yuxi said helplessly, does she look like the kind of willful lady who doesn't keep the agreement?
"Regarding this point, I still believe that Miss Tong will not do that kind of thing that will hurt Madam."
The housekeeper said affirmatively, Tong Yuxi had a slight smile on her face, but she froze there in the next second.
"However, one size fits all. Whether Ms. Tong will leave and why Ms. Tong got up early today are two different things."
"So Uncle Housekeeper, you still want me to explain, right?"
Tong Yuxi didn't know what to say. After all, the butler uncle did this for Shao's mother, and speaking of it, it was also his job, so Tong Yuxi couldn't say anything.
"Oh, actually, Miss Tong doesn't need to be so nervous, because I knew all about your conversation with your wife yesterday."
The butler uncle dropped the second bomb this morning, and this time it was obviously more powerful than the previous one, and Tong Yuxi, who was hit by the bomb, thought for a moment whether he was hallucinating just now.
"Uncle Housekeeper... Did you just say that you actually knew all about my conversation with Mother Shao?"
Tong Yuxi looked at the butler uncle uncertainly, did she hear correctly just now?
"Yes, Miss Tong, you heard me right. I did know all about the conversation you had with your wife yesterday, and it was very detailed."
The housekeeper said the word "detailed" emphatically, and Tong Yuxi said in a slightly broken voice.
"Since you already know, why are you asking me?"
"It's wrong to randomly guess what the master thinks, and Miss Tong, you didn't know about it in advance."
Tong Yuxi wanted to roll her eyes at the housekeeper's righteous words, but she could bear it when she remembered that she was in Shao's house now.
"Just as you know, Uncle Housekeeper, I seemed to say something wrong yesterday that made Mother Shao sad, so I just wanted to prepare a loving breakfast for Mother Shao this morning as an apology."
"Oh, Uncle Housekeeper, you see, I am doing this for Mother Shao's benefit, so can I not tell her?"
Tong Yuxi blinked her eyes and showed a pitiful begging expression. She originally wanted to surprise Shao's mother, but if the housekeeper uncle said it at this time, there would be no sense of surprise.
"It turns out that's the case...then please cheer on Miss Tong, I believe Madam will be very happy."
The housekeeper also felt that it would be better not to tell Shao's mother about this kind of thing, after all, it was Tong Yuxi's wish.
"Did the butler agree to me? That's really great. Thank you, Uncle Butler."
Tong Yuxi showed a bright smile, she turned around and walked into the kitchen, only to find that all the chefs from the Shao family were already there.
"Miss Tong, Mr. Housekeeper, you are here."
To her surprise, the chef at home seemed to know that she was coming in advance, and there was no trace of surprise on her face.
"Ah, I will trouble you this morning."
The housekeeper nodded calmly and said, turning a blind eye to Tong Yuxi's suspicious gaze.
"Can you explain to me what's going on here?"
When Tong Yuxi approached, she realized that a lot of ingredients for breakfast had already been placed on the big table in the kitchen.
"You all know that I will come to the kitchen this morning?"
"This is because Mr. Housekeeper came to inform us last night. He said that Miss Tong should come to the kitchen to prepare everyone's breakfast this morning, so let us prepare all the things you need in advance."
The chef said with a smile on his face, Tong Yuxi turned around and looked at the housekeeper uncle in surprise.
"How did you know about this?"
Obviously this idea came to her when she called Ren Yuqing last night, so how did the housekeeper know?Could it be that he was eavesdropping outside the door last night?
Such a picture flashed in Tong Yuxi's mind, the butler in formal attire holding a doctor's stethoscope and sticking it carefully on the door panel... Stop, Tong Yuxi, you should believe in the character of the butler OK.
"As the housekeeper of this family, of course I have my own news channel."
The housekeeper smiled mysteriously, and Tong Yuxi couldn't help swallowing.Although she had lived in Shao's house for such a long time, it was the first time she discovered that the housekeeper uncle was also an extraordinary person.
"Then Miss Tong, it's getting late, shall we start?"
The head chef clapped his hands, and immediately someone presented Tong Yuxi with the apron that had been prepared a long time ago. The corner of Tong Yuxi's mouth twitched. Why did she suddenly feel like she was being chased away?Probably an illusion...
"Miss Tong, don't be so far away from the pot!"
The head chef looked at Tong Yuxi standing 50 meters away from the pot with a tangled face, while the latter blinked innocently. She was also afraid of being splashed with oil, so it hurts, okay?
"Miss Tong, don't put food away at this time!"
The head chef saw that Tong Yuxi threw the vegetables into the pot before the oil was hot and couldn't help reminding, Tong Yuxi paused and then raised her head, does she need to use a spoon to fish out the vegetables now? ?
"Miss Tong, this is sugar, not salt, and there is no need to put so much!"
Seeing Tong Yuxi putting sugar spoon by spoon, the head chef's face was completely distorted.He actually forgot that this eldest lady doesn't know how to cook at all, so if he keeps going on like this, can the breakfast he made really be edible?
"Hehe, I'm so sorry... I've never cooked breakfast before."
Tong Yuxi said embarrassingly that when she lived with Ren Yuqing, Ren Yuqing was in charge of cooking. Even the snacks she made by herself last time she sent to the company were because of the help of people in the kitchen. Just made it.
"Oh, I should have thought of it a long time ago. It was the same way when I was making dim sum."
The head chef showed a look of unbearable memories, and Tong Yuxi felt even more embarrassed. How bad was her performance last time?To be able to make the always relaxed and generous head chef show such an expression.
"Miss Tong, please do it exactly as I said from now on."
The head chef looked at Tong Yuxi with a serious face and said, if the ink stains continue like this, the time will really not be enough.
"I know, I will try my best."
Tong Yuxi pursed her lips and tightened her apron. Behind the two of them, the housekeeper watched their interaction with interest.
"Huh? Yu Xi, you woke up very early today?"
At 07:30 in the morning, Shao's mother appeared at the dining table on time, and she looked at Tong Yuxi who was a little drowsy with surprise.
"Mother Shao, you are here, come and sit down quickly."
Seeing Mother Shao's figure, Tong Yuxi became energetic in an instant. She stood up excitedly and pulled Mother Shao to the seat.After hastily leaving a sentence, please wait a moment, Tong Yuxi quickly ran out of the restaurant.
"What did you do all morning, kid?"
Shao's mother looked at Tong Yuxi's back with a funny face, but she hadn't seen Tong Yuxi who was so bluffing for a long time.
"Mother Shao has kept you waiting."
After about a few minutes, Tong Yuxi appeared in front of Mother Shao again.She clapped her hands with a smile on her face, and then someone put a few plates in front of Shao's mother.
"What's the matter?"
Shao's mother looked at Tong Yuxi with a little surprise, and made such a big battle just to serve these breakfasts?
"Hey, ma'am, today's breakfast is cooked for you by Miss Tong herself."
The butler uncle coughed lightly and approached Shao's mother and said.
"Did Yu Xi prepare it herself?"
Mother Shao looked at Tong Yuxi in surprise, and then she lowered her head to observe the plate of breakfast for a while.It's a very common combination of fried eggs and sausages. It looks good, but I don't know how it tastes?
"Uh...madam, please rest assured to eat, this is made by Ms. Tong strictly according to the chef's instructions."
The butler said in a low voice, implying that since the head chef is helping, the taste should not be bad.
"Well, since it's Yu Xi's breakfast, I'll try it."
After hearing what the housekeeper said, Mother Shao was relieved a lot. Under Tong Yuxi's gaze, she smiled and picked up a piece of fried egg from the plate and put it in her mouth...
"Miss Tong, why did you get up so early today?"
Suddenly a voice came from the side, and Tong Yuxi almost shouted.
"What, it turned out to be you, Uncle Housekeeper, you really scared me to death just now."
Tong Yuxi was relieved when she turned her head and saw that it was the housekeeper. She patted her chest in shock and said.
