The sky was just faintly bright, and the small courtyard where the people lived on the southwest side of Mingshanzhuang's villa gradually made noises.

The chicken had just cried, Jiang Rui opened his eyes, quietly got up from the bed, took the half-old aqua-green jacket on the head of the bed and put it on his body.

There was more than one of her living in the house, and the other two girls were soundly asleep at this time, snoring slightly. Without waking them up, she took the tub and toiletries and went to the well in the yard to fetch water to wash.

Although the spring has begun, the sky is still very cold. The water coming up from the well is misty, watching the warmth, the tentacles are so cold, the cold cloth towel has just been put on the face, the whole person is aroused, and he is completely awake. Up.

Jiang Rui let out a breath, raised his eyes and looked at the direction of the main house.

Her target is Ling Yuan, the owner of Mingshan Villa.

The tasks in this world did not go as smoothly as the previous ones, and this time the goal is not close.

It is probably that the soul power contained in the fragments is stronger than before. In the past, she was able to follow the mission target in a soul state before possessing her body, observe his character behavior, and think about coping plans, but this time, as long as she is close to the target Within a certain range, the other party seemed to be aware. Although she didn't see her, she obviously became keen and vigilant. After several attempts, she finally gave up.

Because she didn't know enough about Ling Yuan, she didn't want to rashly choose the person next to him to possess him, so she could only consider the long term.

At that time, the original owner of this body had just been bought into the mansion. He couldn't afford to be sick due to the cold and cold. The housekeeper was unwilling to spend more time on the sick seedlings, letting her fend for herself, and soon disappeared, Jiang Rui and She exchanged terms and got the right to use the body.

She has only one wish. Because she was abducted and sold since she was a child, she is too young to remember where her hometown is, so she hopes that Jiang Rui can find her parents.

Jiang Rui got her body and naturally healed quickly. Originally, their group of little maids were to be assigned to various hospitals to do cleaning and chores. It happened that there was a shortage of helpers in the kitchen, and the kitchen steward came to pick people. Ask who knows how to cook.

Compared to going to the kitchen, of course, it is more decent to go to the various courtyards, and there are also opportunities to meet the owner, guests, and some decent guards. It is more attractive to the little girls than the greasy and dirty kitchen. At that time, only Jiang Rui stood up.

Her idea is quite simple. There are so many people who want to go to high places, but there are only a few high places, one radish and one pit. After this large group of people have broken their heads, they may not be able to compete for one.

She is a long time old, and although she has a task, she can't do it if she wants to make her face and a group of teenage girls.

Going to the kitchen may not be no way out. She asks herself that she has a little talent in cooking, and she has the accumulation of the previous worlds. After a few years, when she becomes the chef of the house, she is qualified to cook for the owner. As long as you spend some time in the food and add some spiritual energy, won't it also be able to achieve the purpose of nurturing Ling Yuan's soul?

Even if this road is not possible, the big deal will be until Ling Yuan is dead, and then she will find him in his next life. Anyway, she lacks time and patience the most.

After washing, combing her hair by the water, she went back to the room to wake up the other two little girls, and rushed to the kitchen in a gray sky.

There was light in the kitchen, and when she stepped into it, she saw a middle-aged woman in her 30s and 40s sitting under the stove. She was the cook, Madam Li.

Hearing the noise, Ma Li raised her eyelids and saw that it was her, her stern face softened a bit, "Sanniang is here."

Ma Li was in charge of picking people at the beginning. Because only Jiang Rui stood up among a group of little maids, she simply took away Jiang Rui. She originally planned to call for a look. If she was not clever enough, she would ask someone to buy some more. One.

I didn’t expect this little girl to look thin and small. She works very neatly with her hands and feet. She has a sweet mouth. She yells her mother Li's heart with joy. Now she has taken Jiang Rui as her successor to cultivate. .

"Mother Li woke up early again. Didn't you just leave the boiling water for me?" Jiang Rui approached a few steps and moved a small bench to sit beside her.

“Today’s situation is different. Last night, the manager temporarily informed me that the owner’s return date was advanced and it will be there at noon. I will go to the street with the buyers in a while, pick some fresh ingredients, make a few things the owner likes, and get up early. , Come to boil some water by the way."

"Oh." Jiang Rui nodded while supporting his chin.

Ma Li turned her head to look at her, the little girl's face looked bright and lovely under the orange flame.

Even she did not expect that this little girl looked dry and skinny, like a bean sprout dish, and followed her in the kitchen for several years. She was reborn and slim, and she was even better than some first- and second-class maids. Be bright.

On the one hand, she was satisfied with her food and raised her people, and on the other hand, she was a little worried. She was afraid that such a beautiful little girl would not be kept in the kitchen. She had seen a lot of them. There were few beautiful maids in the house who wanted to climb high branches.

But having said that, if Sanniang can really make it, not to talk about being an aunt, just to be the head of the guard and the head lady in charge, Ma Li will be happy for her again. After all, she can’t bear to let her Such a flower-like little girl has worked her whole life in the kitchen.

"When the owner comes back, if the kitchen is idle, you can also watch the excitement before you go," said Ma Li.

Jiang Rui tilted his head, "Nothing to look good, it's better to be warm in the kitchen."

"Silly boy, what's not more fun than the kitchen?" Ma Li said, thinking of something, and then asked: "Did the maids in the main courtyard show you their faces?"

"No." Jiang Rui smiled.

Ma Li turned her face slightly, "Those maids, who have the name of a big maid, think that they are future aunts. They usually look unpleasant, and look at this unhappy. They are very overbearing. I don't want to think about it. In the past few years, has there ever been a person in the owner’s room? Who has been brought close? Although they are big maids, they are just beautiful on the scene. In fact, when the owner is there, they can’t even enter the door. Just dream of one, and don’t look at the fate of those in front of you. People, you must be self-knowing."

Li's mother has a daughter who is now married. It is said that she was beaten by the maidservant in the main courtyard a few years ago, so when she mentioned those people, she said nothing.

Jiang Rui just listened in the sidelines and didn't interrupt.

Before long, when other people in the kitchen came, Li Ma stopped talking, and gave Jiang Rui a few words, and went out with the people who bought them.

The kitchen slowly became lively, the heat was evaporating, and the coldness of spring was no longer felt. Their kitchen is only responsible for the meals of the owner and the guests of the house. Unlike the kitchen of the servants, they make a big pot, but although the quantity is small, it is more refined. The pursuit is to have the color and fragrance. Ma Li brought **** Rui has been so long, now he can only trust her breakfast.

There are a lot of people doing things, some are responsible for making porridge, some are steaming buns with noodles, and some are chopping vegetable fillings. Jiang Rui is in charge of heat and seasoning.

Don’t think it’s just a simple step. What seasonings are added and what seasonings are not added. You can add more and less, and you can’t learn them. Li Ma regards Jiang Rui as her apprentice, and teaches her, while others are trapped. Those who make noodles don't even have the qualifications to learn, just want to figure it out for themselves, and there are not so many flour fillings to waste for them.

Although Jiang Rui had already met, but Li Ma wanted to teach her, she still studied seriously.

Because the owner has not yet returned to the house, he doesn’t need to make his share, but there are quite a few doormen. After a while, those who are waiting in the doormen’s courtyard come to pick up food boxes, waiting for dozens of food boxes to be taken away. Today’s kitchen The first wave of busyness is over.

Everyone sat down to eat breakfast together.

"It's not delicious! I'm starving to death. I just can't help it when I smell it. It's our turn to eat anyway." The speaker was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl named Liu Liu, younger than Jiang Rui now. How old is she just transferred into the kitchen last year to help, the little girl is very lively, loves to laugh and talk, and is very likable. "The craftsmanship of the third sister is good!"

Jiang Rui smiled and said, "Today, the buns are delicious. It's all because Wu Er's noodles are so good, and Zhang's sister-in-law is finely chopped. I dare not take all the credit alone."

The other two were busy laughing and shoving off. They were talking, and suddenly rushed in to a small servant, and said repeatedly: "The owner is back, give me breakfast!"

When this was said, everyone at the table jumped up in shock.

Everyone knows that the owner will arrive at the house at noon, and he didn't prepare his breakfast at all. This is a sudden surprise, where can I find food for him?

Everyone looked at each other, their faces pale.

The young man stomped anxiously, "Quickly, the manager will curse in a while!"

Thinking of the manager's face, the people in the kitchen were afraid for a while, and looked at Jiang Rui in a hurry.

Ma Li is here in charge. She was trained as an apprentice by Ma Li. Although she was younger than some of the people here, she was the only one who could get ahead at this time.

Jiang Rui twisted his eyebrows slightly and thought about it, and quickly directed the assignments, "Wu Er, I think there was more noodles just now, right? You cut some noodles immediately, Sister Zhang, look at what fresh dishes are in the kitchen. Find a few more and cut them into shreds, and Xiao Xu goes to fish out the eels that were raised a few days ago and clean them up."

As soon as she spoke, all the people who were pestering seemed to have found the backbone of their hearts, and were busy with each other.

Jiang Rui winked at Liu Liu again and asked her to give play to her sweet-mouthed strengths and say a few good things to the young man, so that people can block them in front of the manager, buy more time, and then roll up their sleeves. , Put on an apron, ready to cook.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Rui: I came back late and ran out of food! [Waving a big spoon]

Old eight: What the lady said is. 【smile】
