Chapter 118 Chu Lan Visits Wei Mansion

"I don't know about this matter, but since His Royal Highness has said so, we have no reason to refuse." Wei Mingting said.

Who is the seventh prince, and where does he ask to eat? That is a great gift and a great honor to that family. Is there any reason to refuse it?

Wei Mingting did not dare.

"Why don't we let the cook in the mansion do it. Although the cook's cooking skills are mediocre, she has been in the mansion for many years and she is a calm person. At least she can't make mistakes." Yun suggested.

"No." Wei Mingting rejected Yun's proposal, "If there is a mistake in Xiumei's cooking, His Royal Highness will not be able to find fault with the Wei family even if he is dissatisfied. People are cheating, which is the Wei family's great crime."

"But..." Yun was still a little worried, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Otherwise, let Wanwan help. You and I both know how good Wanwan's dim sum is. At least we can have some guarantee."

"No matter how good the dim sum is, it can't be put on the lunch table. Don't let people see it as a joke. It's better not to think about anything else, just follow His Royal Highness's request." Wei Mingting made the final decision directly, not giving Yun any more consideration time.

Mr. Yun then notified the news of the distinguished guest's visit, and asked everyone in the mansion to be prepared, act carefully, and make no mistakes.

Looking at Meiyuan, Cui He informed Wei Qingwan that Chu Lan was coming to Wei's family for lunch.

"Really? The Seventh Prince has come to our house?" Wei Qingwan couldn't believe it.

That is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, it is a great honor to come to their house for dinner!

"It's true, Madam ordered people to go to the market to buy fresh ingredients, and asked the whole house to pay special attention. There will be no mistakes." Cui He said firmly.

Nanny Li came in and saw the excitement and hope in Wei Qingwan's eyes, and said helplessly: "Miss, although the Seventh Prince is here, you can't see him, boys and girls in big families won't sit together when they get older." The reason why the princes and ladies in the mansion usually eat together is because there are few rules in the family, and the Seventh Prince must respect the rules when he comes."

Nanny Li's words seemed to pour a basin of cold water on Wei Qingwan's head, extinguishing her longing just now, and also made her sober up a lot.

"Mother..." Wei Qingwan looked at Mother Li with a look of fear.

Nanny Li sighed and said: "Miss, you can't be so reckless in the future. I didn't follow you to Fucheng this time, so I made you make a mistake, and Wei Qingruo took care of it. What are you going to do in the future? You have to ask me, I will help you check, even if someone needs to take responsibility, you have to let me, not you."

"Nurse, I know I was wrong, and I will ask you about anything in the future." Wei Qingwan said.

"That's right." Nanny Li said.

"Then mother, am I unable to do anything about today's matter?" Wei Qingwan asked.

"That's not true. Although you can't see His Highness the Seventh Highness, Miss can prepare a few pastries that you are good at and send them to the kitchen later. This is reasonable and reasonable, and it will give you a chance to show off your extraordinary culinary skills, Miss." Madam Li Mammy analyzed.

"Well, I'll go to the big kitchen to prepare sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and at the same time tell the cook to have her deliver the cakes I made for lunch."

Wei Qingwan was about to get up, but was stopped by Cui He: "Miss, it is not Cook Yu who is in charge of cooking in the kitchen today, but Xiumei, Missy's personal maid."

"Xiumei? Why is it her?" Wei Qingwan looked at Cuihe in puzzlement.

Nurse Li also just heard the news, she also looked puzzled: "What's going on with He'er?"

"The specific slaves are not very clear, but today's madam ordered so. I passed the kitchen when I came from the front yard just now, and I heard Cook Yu complaining." Cui He replied.

Nurse Li gritted her teeth and said, "This Wei Qingruo is really clever! Even at times like this, I don't forget to fight for a chance to show off!"

"Mommy, what shall we do?" Wei Qingwan worried.

"Don't worry, although the opportunity has been lost now, it may not be impossible; as long as the cakes you make are better, miss, if Wei Qing asks her maids to cook more dishes, she will be inferior." Li Nanny said.

Wei Qingwan's pastry skills have been recognized, let alone the wives and ladies in Xingshan County have praised it, even in the capital, they have received unanimous praise from everyone.

Their old lady was very picky about her food since she was a child, and she seldom praised her for food. However, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the second lady was highly praised by her. It can be seen that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the second lady The standard is high.

Wei Qingwan nodded, and then faced a new problem.

She is still restrained by her mother, unable to leave the gate of Wangmeiyuan, let alone go to the kitchen.

Nanny Li told Wei Qingwan not to worry: "You don't have to go to the big kitchen to make pastries. I'll go and bring everything to the miss. It's the same for you to do it in the yard. When it's done, I'll let Yu The cook arranged for the people under her hand to be sent to the front yard."

Although Nanny Li's status in the mansion is not as good as it used to be, she still has a good relationship with several servants who hold key positions in the mansion. This matter can still be settled for Wei Qingwan.

After the decision was made, Wei Qingwan and Nanny Li got busy.

At the same time, in the big kitchen, Wei Ruo invited everyone else out, leaving only himself and Xiumei.

These people in the kitchen are not familiar with them, and they don't have any tacit understanding. I'm afraid that if they are not careful, it will not help them.

Furthermore, Wei Ruo saw that the cook's face was not very good-looking when she went out just now;

Although Chu Lan asked for this meal today, she couldn't refuse it, but as long as she made it, she had to do it well and make no mistakes.

So Wei Ruo decided to do it with Xiumei by himself, as long as they dont tell the outside world that she has a share of the lunch.

Although there are only two of them, Wei Ruo and Xiumei have a good understanding, and they are skilled in cooking and orderly.

Boil the stew and broth first, and make preparations for the stir-fry. After the front yard comes to report that Mr. Chu, Mr. Lu and Qian Zhixian have taken their seats, start the stir-fry to ensure that every dish is hot.

One dish after another was brought out of the kitchen.

In the dining room in the front yard, there were four people sitting - Wei Mingting, Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong and Qian Zhixian.

In the morning, Lu Yuhong didn't go to see where the rice was growing. When Chu Lan came back and told him that he was going to Wei's house for lunch, he ran faster than anyone else.

Qian Zhixian repeatedly praised: "Good cooking, this is really good cooking, Mr. Wei, you are so lucky!"
