Chapter 325 Professionals
The day after the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, a kind-faced nanny slowly walked into the gate of the Yang family.
Xiao Cao was standing in the yard pruning branches. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw the nanny. She was smiling and had gentle eyes, which was completely different from the nannies in TV dramas who always had stern faces and acted as if everyone owed them a hundred taels of silver.
"Miss Xiaocao'er, I'm here on the orders of the Empress Dowager to learn how to make cookies from you." The nanny bowed slightly and said softly.
Xiao Cao'er quickly put down the scissors in her hand, walked forward and said in return: "Madam, you are too polite. Please follow me." As she said that, she led the madam into the kitchen to get the tools.
After entering the kitchen, Xiao Caoer turned to look at Mammy and asked, "Excuse me, Mammy, is the stove ready? It's not easy to make cookies without a stove."
Mammy smiled and replied, "Not yet, but I think it will be arranged today."
Xiao Cao'er nodded, a look of relief on her face. "That's good. In that case, let's start now." Before she finished speaking, she turned and walked to the cupboard, ready to take out the necessary ingredients and tools.
At this moment, Yun Er walked in. When Old Lady Yang saw him, she immediately smiled and walked over to hold Yun Er's hand, saying, "Xiao Er, you came at the right time! Today, Madam Qi sent someone to learn how to make biscuits. With you here, you can help out. Otherwise, my old bones won't be able to bear it."
When Yun Er heard that he had to make cookies again, he couldn't help but wonder, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. I just finished making them yesterday, why do I have to do it again today? Won't I get tired of making so many? He thought to himself.
Although he had some complaints in his heart, Yun Er still appeared to be very well-behaved and obedient. He quickly responded, "Okay, old lady, don't worry, I will take care of the small matter of beating the eggs. I dare not let you suffer any trouble." As he said that, he followed Old Lady Yang towards the place where the eggs were placed.
At this time, Yun Er saw Nanny Yu standing beside him. He immediately stepped forward and saluted her, saying warmly, "Nanny Yu, it's been a long time since we last met! You look as energetic as before." Nanny Yu smiled and replied, "So it's Guard Yun. You look as charming as ever."
After the greetings, everyone got busy, following the production process of yesterday in an orderly manner. Yu Mama picked up the tools skillfully, with skillful and neat movements. After all, she has been in charge of the Queen Mother's small kitchen in the palace, and she often makes all kinds of exquisite snacks and nourishing delicacies on weekdays. She can be called an experienced professional. Not long after, Yu Mama quickly got into the state and started to operate smoothly.
The key steps in making cookies are undoubtedly beating the butter and stirring the egg mixture. Only by properly handling these two steps can we ensure that the cookies are crispy, delicious, sweet and tasty.
Today we made more than yesterday. When Nanny Yu returned to the palace, she returned a big bag. Xiao Cao'er asked her to take it all back, but Nanny Yu said to keep some at home or give some to relatives and friends.
So, Yun Er, as a deliveryman, delivered biscuits to the same households where he had delivered goods yesterday.
"The Queen Mother sent a nanny out of the palace today to make cookies for my daughter. Since there were too many to eat at home, she asked her subordinates to bring some over to everyone."
Yesterday you said she was my daughter Xiaocao'er, but today she is my daughter. Is Xiaocao'er the daughter of the Yang family or your master's family? Does your master know that you said this to others? Fortunately, it was in our house. If others heard it, wouldn't it ruin Xiaocao'er's reputation?
Xiao Cao'er and Old Lady Yang had no idea that Yun Er said this to several close families. If she knew, Old Lady Yang would not let him in.
One day, when Zheng Huaming went to Qi Xingyun for something, he brought up the matter. "Do you know how Yun Er calls her little sister Xiao Cao'er in our family?"
"What's your name?" Qi Xingyun asked puzzledly.
"When he helped Xiaocaoer deliver biscuits to our house, he called her our little girl Xiaocaoer, our little girl. Does Old Lady Yang know this name?" Zheng Huaming raised his eyebrows at Qi Xingyun.
"I know about this." Qi Xingyun replied.
"You know it, that's it? Nothing else?" Zheng Huaming asked in a slightly higher voice.
"Anything else? It's not wrong for him to call her that. Our two families are close. What's wrong with Yun Er treating Xiaocao'er as my daughter?" Qi Xingyun replied.
"Forget it, I won't waste my time talking to you. Don't ruin Xiaocao'er's reputation." Zheng Huaming said, "My wife asked me to ask you something. Duke Liu's mansion is holding a banquet in a few days. She wants to take Xiaocao'er to meet some young ladies of the same age. What do you think?"
