I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

Although he failed to send out the gold leaves and was scolded, Cheng Yu did not feel unhappy. Instead, he felt a little warm.

She was unfortunate to travel back in time and become a maid in ancient times, but she was lucky to meet little sisters of her age such as Dingxiang, Zhuer and Taozi and to be in a friendly environment.

With the three gold leaves in his pocket, Cheng Yu was actually very happy.

It's time to give reward again.

This time, I got gold again.

According to what Ziwei said just now, this gold leaf is equivalent to one tael of gold.

Three gold leaves are worth three taels of gold.

The weight of a gold leaf is 35-40 grams. According to the modern gold price, one gram is more than yuan. This piece of gold leaf is worth yuan in RMB. If there are three, the price would be yuan.

Cheng Yu felt very happy, as she earned nearly 100,000 yuan just by cooking a meal.

This was a job she was willing to do, very willing to do.

Isn't her current status the same as those modern live-in nannies? In modern times, a live-in nanny not only has to clean, cook, and take care of children, but is only paid 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month.

Here, she only needs to prepare three meals a day, and if she cooks well, she will be rewarded.

That's simply not fun.

When he returned to the servants' room, Zhu'er was not there. Cheng Yu put the money in his small purse and then put it in the compartment under the pillow.

Zhu'er has a good relationship with her, but one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others, especially when it comes to gold and silver, it is better to be a little cautious.

After hiding the money, Cheng Yu was about to get up when he suddenly felt dizzy.

That useless bloodline is online.

"The system store is online. Master, please open the system store..."

"Opening a system store for the owner. The store deposit is 20,000, the store merchandise is 50,000, and the store upgrade is 20,000..."

Listening to the system chattering, by the time Cheng Yu realized what was happening, all the money she had saved was gone.

Cheng Yu had lost all her money. The gold leaves that she had just received were gone before she even had time to warm them up. She also owed the system five hundred taels.

However, the system store is online, a real store, just like on a tablet, you can choose things, and after you have made your choice, you have to pay before the items can be sent to her remotely.

Forced her to open this system store.

Cheng Yu’s small treasury was emptied.

The two coppers in her hand,

Cheng Yu took two pieces of chewing gum and comforted herself. She had to go to the small kitchen now, as Madam Li was waiting for her to help in the kitchen.

When I arrived at the small kitchen, I saw that Mrs. Li had already started busying herself.

Cheng Yu didn't say anything, he just walked forward and prepared all the ingredients for the stewed lamb tendons.

Mrs. Li didn't ask any more questions. They both understood.

I saw Madam Li rolled up her sleeves and skillfully put the sheep's trotters into the stew pot on the stove.

Cheng Yu took a look and couldn't help thinking, if only there were pressure cookers in ancient times...

Pressure cooker.

She immediately thought of her own useless system store.

I don’t know if there is a pressure cooker in it.

However, the items in her system store seem to be able to change according to the environment.

Just like she is a little cook now, most of the things in the store are related to cooking.

There should be.

But I couldn’t tell Madam Li right away that I had a pressure cooker that could cook the meat until it was tender faster.

Cheng Yu asked casually, "Mother Li, how long do you need to stew this lamb tendon?"

Madam Li glanced at Cheng Yu and said, "It will take two hours. If you want it to taste better, you can simmer it for another half an hour until it is softer. Why do you think it is troublesome?"

"No, I heard someone say that there is a kind of pot that is very tight, and the lid is screwed together with the pot, so the food cooked will become soft and mushy very quickly. I wonder if there is such a pot for sale in Kyoto. If there is, I will stew some meat for my wife, such as mutton and roe deer meat, so that she can eat it quickly without having to wait."

Madam Li paused, then said, "I've also heard of the pot you mentioned, but it seems to have been made by a very famous master. But after the master passed away, no one knew about his craftsmanship anymore."

"You, don't think about that."

Cheng Yu, "Maybe I can find that kind of pot in the future."

Madam Li thought Cheng Yu was just daydreaming. After all, when she knew about this kind of pot, she was the same as Cheng Yu. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was at the age of daydreaming and ignorance.

When Madam Li was making the stewed lamb tendons, she did not avoid Cheng Yu.

She wanted Cheng Yu to learn her cooking skills.

To be honest, the food Cheng Yu cooks is indeed good, but as for some of his specialties, he still has to rely on the older generation. The food they cook is indeed particular, especially the cooking time.

Same ingredients, same cooking method, same cooking time.

But the taste of the food produced by the two people is quite different.

The main point is that the heat is wrong.

Cheng Yu simply followed Madam Li to learn the cooking skills.

Especially some dishes that require time to simmer, boil, or stew.

In the evening, the mistress ate the stewed lamb tendons made by Madam Li. Thinking that she had eaten a lot in the morning, she might not eat much in the evening, so she made less.

In addition, Cheng Yu prepared a fish soup.

There were two fish delivered in the morning. One was made into pickled fish by Cheng Yu, and the remaining one was made into fish soup by her.

River fish has less fishy smell than sea fish, so the fish soup made from it is more delicious. Cheng Yu also put some shredded black fungus, carrots, and cucumbers in it, making the taste even lighter, with a hint of cucumber flavor in the fish aroma.

Worried that the mistress would be hungry at night, bird's nest would be boiled on the stove.

Knowing that cooking is not an easy job for Cheng Yu, Zhao Rulan usually prepares meal in advance. Dingxiang takes the trouble to ask two maids and Taozi to keep watch, and sometimes Cheng Yu will also keep watch once or twice.

After dinner today, the tailor cleaned up the kitchen and served a bowl of the remaining fish soup to Madam Li.

The fish prepared for lunch and afternoon meals only used fish meat, with only the head, tail and bones left.

Although it was fish meat, fish tail and fish bones, there was still a lot of meat on it. Seeing that Mother Wang didn't carry the fish, Cheng Yu packed it up in a lunch box, and also took some worthless pickled cabbage and some of the remaining vegetables from the kitchen.

Mother Wang took away a small piece of pork and the remaining half of the pigeon.

Seeing that Cheng Yu took away worthless things, while she took away meat, Mother Wang was worried that Cheng Yu would take the things in her hands, so she would never think about taking the scraps in Cheng Yu's hands.

After eating the fish soup, Cheng Yu came to clean up the dishes.

Madam Li kept one of the stewed lamb tendons that her mistress had not finished eating, put it in a snack box, and gave it to Cheng Yu separately.

When Cheng Yu saw what Lady Li gave her, he looked surprised and asked, "Are you giving this to me?"

"I've eaten so much of your food, so I'll let you taste what I cook."

After saying this, Madam Li left. Cheng Yu took the food box and brought the ingredients he had prepared to the servants' room.
