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

After Cheng Yu returned to the kitchen, he told Mother Li what ingredients he needed to prepare to make the pickled fish.

Mother Li still doesn't quite believe it.

"Miss Yu'er, are you planning to teach me your specialty?"

Mother Li didn't like the young cook who suddenly came to cook for the old lady.

I just want to see what delicious food she can make that the old lady will like.

Perhaps the old lady had never eaten anything else, so she thought the taste was strange at first glance.

When I come back, I still want to eat the food she cooks.

Unexpectedly, the little cook came up to her and wanted to teach her how to make sauerkraut fish.

"If Madam Li doesn't want to learn, I'll just teach He Hua. Chef Gao is a senior chef, and if I teach him, I'm afraid he won't want to learn."

Mother Li hurriedly walked up to Cheng Yu with a flattering smile on her face.

"Miss Yu'er, look at what you said. Now that you've said it, can I still refuse? Miss Yu'er, if you have time in the evening, come to my house. You don't eat much here. I'll make you a bowl of my specialty, fried noodles."

Cheng Yu can certainly teach.

She has not yet escaped from slavery. If she wants to open a restaurant and earn money in the future, she must have the opportunity to leave this mansion now.

She taught Mother Li, but Mother Li's cooking skills were not that good.

After I taught her, she learned about 70% of it, and it was enough as long as the taste was similar.

Cheng Yu didn't have to worry that Madam Li would cook better than she did and taste even better.

Cheng Yu said, "Mother Li, you don't have to be so polite. I was originally borrowed to cook for the old lady. In three days, I have to go back to Lanyuan to cook for the second lady. I can't take care of the old lady. I thought, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I taught the people in the big kitchen. Wouldn't it be better for you to cook for the old lady..."

"Miss Yu'er, you are right."

"So when do you learn this?"

Cheng Yu said, "Let's wait for a day. We can't let the old lady eat pickled fish every day. Tonight, I will make a few appetizers. You can follow me and we can cook together. You can learn and try."

"That would be great."

After lunch, Cheng Yu didn’t have to clean up the remaining stall.

After lunch was ready, Cheng Yu was called by the old lady for questioning. She was being questioned while eating. Cheng Yu stood beside her waiting for the old lady to finish eating, as she had not yet had lunch.

As Mother Li said this, her stomach made an inopportune noise.

Mother Li said with a smile that there were still a few leftover meat buns in the steamer, which were to be saved for the master as a midnight snack in the evening.

Let Cheng Yu take it and eat it.

Cheng Yu said that she should not touch those things.

She asked Mother Li what ingredients could be used, and took some, set up a small stove in the big kitchen, grabbed a few handfuls of rice, cut a few slices of bacon and sausage, and took an egg.

She made herself a clay pot rice.

In modern times, Cheng Yu loves to eat clay pot rice.

Cheng Yudu said that he would teach Mother Li how to make pickled fish, and even said that he would call her to learn it together when he cooked for the old lady in the evening.

Mother Li is naturally good to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu said she only wanted one egg, but Mother Li forced three into her mouth.

Cheng Yu didn't refuse.

I originally wanted to eat an ordinary clay pot rice, but I didn't expect that there would be a little bit of food on the left and a little bit of food on the right, making a full pot.

I can’t finish it. I can’t finish it at all.

After the big pot lunch, those who were lazy went to slack off, while those who didn't dare to be lazy continued to work.

After Cheng Yu made the clay pot rice, he just found a place to sit down when He Hua and several other maids Cheng Yu didn't know came over.

Cheng Yu originally planned to eat slowly.

After eating, she wanted to go back for a while. She had been busy since morning and she was not made of iron, so she felt a little tired.

When she was in the small kitchen, she would go back to the room and lie down to rest for a while when she had some time. When she was needed to cook, just call her and she would come quickly.

This big kitchen is a bit far from where she lives, and it is not cost-effective to run there too often.

She didn't go home in the morning, so she thought about going back to rest after lunch. An hour's rest would be ok.

"Miss Yu'er, this is a big bowl of stewed rice."

"It smells good."

"Miss Yu'er, you are such a petite girl, can you finish this pot of rice?"

Before Cheng Yu could take a spoonful of the clay pot rice, several people gathered around him.

They were all people who were drooling over the food in her pot.

"I haven't eaten yet..." Cheng Yu said that she wanted to eat her fill first.

He Hua whispered, "Miss Yu'er, you eat first, and we'll watch. If you can't finish it, give us some. You don't know, we were all ravenous this morning when we smelled the pickled fish you made. I also heard that the old lady didn't finish the remaining half of the pickled fish, and Qiu Wen and several of the big maids ate it before it was sent to the main kitchen."

Cheng Yu really doesn’t know this.

After receiving the reward, she came back and talked to Mother Li for a while.

Mrs. Li was a talkative person and kept asking her questions, but she was hungry and was only thinking about how to get something to eat.

As for where the old lady's leftover food went, she had no idea.

Because at this time, the dishes and chopsticks had not been delivered yet.

After He Hua finished speaking, the other three maids nodded and looked eagerly at the clay pot rice in Cheng Yu's pot.

It smells really good.

Cheng Yu looked at them and their mouths were watering.

"Go get your bowls and I'll give you some. But it won't be much, so don't be angry."

Cheng Yu was just being polite. You eat my food, and I don’t care whether you are angry or not.

While He Hua turned around, the other three maids brought a small bowl.

Cheng Yu served them three small bowls of rice, bacon and sausage, but she didn't give them anything.

But I gave Hehua a piece of bacon and a piece of sausage. She didn't cut much, only four or five pieces, and the main thing was this taste.

Another thing is that the things in the big kitchen are all allocated in proportion to how much they are used every day. If too much is used, Mother Li said that if the eldest lady asks about it, she doesn't know what to say.

The main reason was that Mother Li had been cheating on her husband too often and was worried that the first lady would investigate.

I didn’t dare let Cheng Yu eat too much.

Lotus looked at Cheng Yu happily, "Yu'er, you are so kind to me."

"That's because you gave me a piece of fat meat. Now I'm giving you two pieces. Isn't it delicious?"

Lotus grinned, "It's delicious. The meat is delicious, and the rice is fragrant. And the rice crust at the bottom of the pot, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious rice crust."

Lotus ate quickly and picked up every grain of rice that fell on the table.

Cheng Yu ate until he was about 70% full, and after drinking some water, he was still very full.

She told Hehua that she had to go back and rest for a while. She would be in charge of the big kitchen. If anything happened, she could go to the orchid garden and call her.

Lotus had always wanted to go to the orchid garden, and when she heard Cheng Yu say this, she immediately nodded and said, "No problem."

Anyway, even if she didn't help Cheng Yu keep an eye on things, she would still have to stay in the kitchen.

Chef Gao and Mother Li are the kind of people who don't even wipe the pots and stoves after cooking, and they won't stay in the kitchen for any longer.

These dirty jobs are all done by them as odd jobs.
