[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

When Lin Yu returned to Zhinian Pavilion, she couldn't care about the Wu Zang Temple. She didn't have enough sleep, she just felt uncomfortable all over, half-closed her eyes and let Wu Gu take off her coat, and fell asleep on the bed.After waking up from this sleep, it was already half past noon, and Lin Yu, who finally got enough sleep, felt refreshed, rinsed his mouth and cleansed his face again, changed into a piece of homely and convenient clothes, and asked Wugu eagerly:

"What's for lunch?" Last night, I put a plate of pastries on the plate and started to serve the big boss. I only ate two mouthfuls of dry pastry this morning, and now my stomach is naturally roaring like a fight.It’s just that when I was a girl, every meal in Baylor’s Mansion had to be served according to the rules. Even if you could order what you liked, you could pay for extra food if you couldn’t.When Lin Yu thought that he might not be able to enjoy delicious food freely for a long time, he sighed, and his expectations for lunch were a little bit less.

"Master woke up just in time, and Xiao Deng Zi just went to the dining room to get it back." Wu Gu commanded the plate with joy on his face.

Two meats, two vegetables and one soup are enough for Lin Yu alone, so Lin Yu drank a bowl of soup first, and then started to enjoy lunch. She ate very fast but not ugly, The mouth is stuffed, and it chews quickly like a greedy little squirrel. When it eats something delicious, its eyes can't help but light up, and the action of lowering the chopsticks can't help but be faster.After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Yu, who had eaten enough, finally put down the bowls and chopsticks, but the four dishes and one soup almost killed most of them, and the leftovers were either Lin Yu didn't like to eat, or they were some side dishes .

The newcomer Shu Fujin's appetite is really good, he seems to like to eat, and the servant who cleans up the dishes has a plan in mind.Fortunately, Zhinian Pavilion has already set up a small kitchen, so it is convenient to eat whatever you want in the future, but I don't know how Shu Fu Jin's family is.This small kitchen is set up by grace, but the rules are placed there, and if you want to add meals, you basically have to pay for it yourself, unless you are favored by Lord Baylor and rewarded with grace.In fact, it's not that the Ulanala family is reluctant to take this extra statute, it's just that she is worried that Lin Yu will make enemies if she goes too far. After all, she has just entered the mansion and has no heirs, so it's better not to be too ostentatious, and find someone in a while The opportunity to reward the small kitchen is not considered eye-catching, this is Ulanara's consideration.

But even if she doesn't reward Lin Yu, she doesn't care. She can still pay for some food and drink. Lin Yu doesn't plan to hide her family's wealth too tightly. It's not nonsense that money can turn ghosts around. If Lin Yu is more generous, someone will come to her to do things for her, and maybe they can get some important news.

"Is there a small kitchen in Zhinian Pavilion?" Lin Yu couldn't sit still when he heard it, and got up to take a look.

"The slaves and servants have all seen it. The pots, pans, and pans are all new and cleaned. If you buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and ingredients, the master will be able to use them." Wu Guo crispy voice said, Once the fire is fired, the waiters can also get a little bit of credit. When they think of the delicacies produced by their master, even if they don't do it themselves, they can always make all kinds of delicious food. Can't help salivating.Let’s not talk about these, there are other benefits of having a small kitchen. Hot water can be supplied at any time of the year, and you don’t have to worry about always eating cold dishes and cold soups, especially for servants like them. When the dishes are delivered, most of them are already soaked in oil. If you use the small kitchen to heat them up, you don't have to worry about eating them wrong.

When the servants who cleaned the yard saw the new master going out, they quickly put down their work to meet him. Lin Yu waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, followed Wu Guo around a corner and entered the small kitchen.The small kitchen is not big, only about [-] square meters, one big stove, one small stove, and several small stoves beside it. There is a long table on the side of the wall, and the bowls and bowls are placed neatly.

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction, and then arranged: "Wu Gu, arrange someone to buy the things I've always used in the afternoon. Don't buy too many ingredients, mainly buy some stew materials, and bring me over The casserole, medicinal materials, and dry goods are also placed together.” Anyone who can cook knows that the more the casserole is used, the more flavorful the soup will be, and the more effective the medicinal food will be. This casserole is made by Lin Yu Yangzhou specially ordered someone to customize it, and it has been used for two or three years. It is not as good as the old casserole, but it is better than the new casserole. No one used it when she left the Lin Mansion, so she just shipped it with her. Lin Yu spent a lot of money to buy medicinal materials and dry goods, so he couldn't bear to pack two boxes.Originally thought that these things would be unusable for a few years, but she didn't expect to see the light of day again after entering the mansion. Lin Yu reciprocated and planned to show her first, thanking the two big bosses in the mansion for taking care of her.

After visiting the kitchen, Lin Yu started the business of his first day in the mansion, getting acquainted with the servants of the Nian Pavilion.It's only early autumn, and the weather isn't too hot. It's the time when autumn is breezy, so Lin Yu simply asks someone to move a chair to sit on the porch, so that the courtyard can be more open.The maids and mother-in-law are on the left, and the eunuchs are on the right. They stood in two rows in total. After a rough count, there were four maids, big and small, two mothers-in-law and four eunuchs. , Chinian Pavilion currently has 13 people.

Sitting high, Lin Yu could see clearly. His big eyes swept across, and each of his lowered brows looked quite honest, but he didn't know if there was any eyeliner inserted by others.The strategy system does not provide Lin Yu with additional help in this regard. Everything is left to Lin Yu to figure out and identify on his own. Only when it is very urgent and critical will he make a sound to remind him. In fact, this is fine. It may be difficult for Yu to go long-term.

"Introduce yourself first, and then tell me what you are good at?"

"My servant, Cuimei, can comb her hair." The oldest maid on the left came out first.

"Followed by Wuguoguan jewelry, the name follows Wugu and Wuguo, called Wuwei."

"Thank you, master, for giving me the name." Cuimei, no, Wuwei should be delighted. Being able to serve her closely and get the same name as a first-class servant girl means that the master is promoting her.

The first one was assigned a good errand at the beginning, and then I realized in my heart that this is to be assigned according to their expertise. I already have my expertise and I have confidence in my heart. Some people don’t know what they are good at, so they scratch their heads. Thinking about it quickly, don't let all the good jobs be snatched away.As for those who intentionally falsely report, these people don’t have the guts to know whether they will be able to get on the job or not. It’s a small thing to lose the job at that time, but it’s a big thing to anger the new master and be rejected. It’s not worth hurting yourself for a moment. .

"My servant, Xiao Liu, knows how to needle and thread."

"From now on it will be called Wuqi, following Wuguguan Needlework."

"Five qi, thank you master for giving me the name."

"Slave Xiaodong, I will..." The third girl was quite strong, and she seemed to have more weight than the little eunuchs. She looked honest and stupid when she saw it. In the past, she was always told to do whatever she was told. What, I have never thought about what I am good at, seeing that I have lost my ugliness, my face is even more anxious.

"Looking at you like this, do you have strength?" Lin Yu laughed, and the maid reckoned that she could still eat.

Xiaodong seemed to have grasped the straw to save her life, and nodded vigorously: "This servant has great strength." But the confidence to speak was obviously lacking, and it seemed that he knew that being strong was not a specialty.

"Strength is also an advantage. In the future, there is a small kitchen in the back yard. I will leave it to you. Let's call it Liushan." Lin Yu thought for a while and gave up the continuation of the word "five" and changed it to "six".It turns out that the names of five grains and five flavors are not random, but from the "Emperor's Internal Classic", "People are based on five grains", "Heaven eats people with five flavors, earth eats people with five flavors", "Five flavors enter the mouth and hide in the stomach ", "poison against evil, five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five animals for benefit, five vegetables for filling, smell combined and taken to nourish lean and Qi."It’s just that the remaining five animals don’t sound good, and the five vegetables are easy to be misunderstood. They simply start with the word “six”, since it still has nothing to do with eating and drinking anyway.

"Thank you, master, for the name. Thank you, master, for the name." Liu Shan was very excited. Unexpectedly, the master saw not only her strength, but also her ability to eat. He specially gave her the name Liu Shan, because he didn't think she was clumsy. , Liushan decided to work hard for Shu Fujin in the future.

"My servant, Banqin, is not as good as the first three older sisters." Banqin is the youngest one, and she is the least conspicuous of the four just by standing at the back.On weekdays, she would do whatever other people arranged her to do. Suddenly, when her new master asked her about her specialty, Banqin felt that her needlework was not as good as Wuqi, combing her hair was not as good as Wuwei, and even her strength was not as good as Liushan. Buried dead.

"You are small in stature, and I think you have fast legs. First, you will run errands with Wugu and pass on the news. You are called Liuyin."

"Thank you, master, for the name."

Next is the little eunuch. The little Deng Zi who was mentioned earlier to receive the lunch has long been prepared. This is a good opportunity to show his face in front of the master, so he must not behave well.

"Slave Xiao Dengzi, the second master of the dining room is the slave's godfather." Little Dengzi didn't talk much, but he hit the key point at once, with a smile on his apple face, he looked quite pleasing, and he was able to do it in just half a day. Find out Lin Yu's preferences, and show off his greatest advantages, and he is the first eunuch, and the eunuchs below are also vaguely headed by him. Not only is he well-connected and well-informed, he also seems to be quite good at controlling people .

"That's right. From now on, you will be in charge of running errands outside, and you will also be in charge of the remaining three little eunuchs." Lin Yu made a decision directly. She didn't need eunuchs to serve her closely, but she would go outside to inquire about news, find ways, etc. Things are also very important, especially Lin Yu still wants to buy things for the kitchen, since they are delivered to the door, he will naturally use them.

"Thank you, master. This slave will definitely do his best to handle the errand well." Xiao Dengzi was able to go to Zhinian Pavilion because of a lot of connections. It can be counted as breaking the siege among many competitors. There is no doubt about it.

The remaining three little eunuchs and two wives were just brief introductions, Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Mingzi ran errands with little Dengzi, little Lizi could cook and arranged in the kitchen, and the two rough maids continued to clean the courtyard.

"My place has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. In addition to the monthly money, there are additional silver rewards for good work. There are also rewards during festivals and festivals. Not to mention silver rewards, monthly money is not always available for poor work. If anyone dislikes Zhinian Pavilion If you can't tolerate it, you can bring it up, and I will find a way to send you to the place you want to go, if you don't mention it, but go back and forth with others behind Zhiniange's back, don't blame me for being merciless." After recognizing the person, Lin Yu didn't forget to knock in advance.
