Chapter 56 Visiting the Vegetable Patch (Third update on the shelves)

 Maybe he was in a good mood, so Du Jingyi's appetite was also bigger.

Just listening to it made me feel a little hungry, so Du Jingyi said with a smile.

“Danruo is so powerful. He hasn’t even prepared breakfast yet. He’s already thinking about what he’s going to do for lunch. Come on, take me to see what you’re going to eat in the morning.”

If Dan heard what she said, he wouldn't stop her.

They keep the small kitchen clean every day, so it’s not a big deal even if my young lady wants to go in and take a look.

 Walked around from the vegetable patch to the door of the small kitchen.

 The master and his servants smelled the fragrance before they even entered.

The steamer near the wall is steaming, and it looks like it is steaming something good.

There are three cooks in the small kitchen. They are slightly fat, but they are very neat and tidy.

The knife in my hand was squeaking and I quickly cut the filaments.

 Seeing Du Jingyi come in, they were not much surprised.

  After all, in the past, Du Jingyi would come and take a look in this small kitchen from time to time.

And there are wooden benches and tables in the open space in front of the vegetable field.

Sometimes, Du Jingyi would eat in the open air, and the food he ate was so fresh.

　　There is still a lot of fuss about it.

“Today, I have prepared sweet rolls with sweet stuffing for you, the young lady. The crumbs on top were made by my slave when I got up this morning. You will try it later, young lady. Do you like it?”

Du Jingyi nodded, his eyes turned into slits with a smile.

 She is not a picky person, or in other words, here in Danruo, no one can be picky.

 After all, her craftsmanship is not limited, otherwise Du Jingyi would not have begged the Dus to send her as a dowry maid.

Seeing that Du Jingyi had no objection, Dan Ruo continued.

"A few days ago, I saw black beans when I went out to buy them. Let's make a cup of soy milk for the young lady today. Drinking it will be good for your eyes and hair."

 “Okay, I’ll let you decide.”

Du Jingyi has always been more assertive about what to eat.

 But that was outside. If Dan was there, she would basically be able to eat whatever she arranged.

Standing in the small kitchen, watching the cooks busy around, the smoke of fireworks that penetrated his nose from time to time put Du Jingyi in a good mood all day long.

 Other people’s happiness may come from thousands of wealth and power.

 But for her, being able to calmly experience the ups and downs of the four seasons and having daily meals is the most comfortable and joyful thing.

Probably knowing that she didn’t want to leave, Li Zhu and Ying Ying came from the main room and started wiping the tables and chairs outside.

There is not much dust on it, but after a night, it will feel a little more exposed.

After wiping, Yingtao originally meant to put a cushion for her to sit on, but who knew that Du Jingyi was so fast that he sat down in a hurry.

Seeing this, Yingying suppressed the words that came to her mouth.

 After a while, the hot breakfast was brought out from the kitchen, and everyone who saw it was salivating.

Du Jingyi waved to several maids and said.

“Sit down and eat with me. There’s so much, don’t waste it.”

"good."

The maids are not very formal, after all, they have done this often before.

 After drinking the hot soy milk, my whole body felt much better.

As expected, the sweet-filled flower rolls suited Du Jingyi's appetite, and he ate two or three of them in succession, but he was still not full.

However, she also stopped and said with some reluctance.

 “You can’t eat any more, otherwise you won’t be able to eat anything for lunch.”

  She said it seriously, and several maids also laughed.

Especially Li Zhu, said jokingly.

“Young lady, just feel free to eat. If it doesn’t work, let Dan Ruo move the lunch time back, so that you won’t lose anything.”

Du Jingyi’s eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea. But after thinking about it, he still shook his head.

“Forget it, you should learn to be more restrained throughout your life, otherwise it will be bad if you indulge your hobbies every day and become lazy.”

Hearing this, several maids also nodded, feeling that what their wife said made sense.

She is only eighteen or nineteen years old now. Although she likes to sleep in and so on, she never delays things.

 Hash to say it or not, they all admired this.

 As long as it is something Du Jingyi wants to do, it seems that it is impossible to do it so far.

 I think it has something to do with the restraint she just mentioned.

"Okay, let's go back after eating. We still have to be busy with moving."

Maid Qingtao nodded and stood up.

Li Zhu was greedy, so she took a flower roll with sweet filling and stuffed it into her mouth.

Du Jingyi felt dumbfounded when he saw it.

 “Eat slowly, no one will compete with you.”

Li Zhu chewed it quickly and swallowed it whole.

 Then he picked up the bowl of soy milk at hand and drank it down.

 Then he patted his chest twice and smiled at Du Jingyi.

 “Let’s go, young lady.”

Du Jingyi saw that she was eating in such a hurry and quickly said to Dan Ruo.

“Li Zhu, let’s make this for her tomorrow’s breakfast, I think she really likes it.”

Li Zhu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he cast an excited look at Dan Ruo.

Danruo smiled and nodded, and then said.

"Okay, I know this, I will make a basket for her tomorrow and let her eat as much as she can!"

“Hehe, thank you, Sister Danruo.”

 Among the four maids, the youngest is Li Zhu, so it is normal to call her Sister Danruo at this moment.

After eating and drinking, the master and servant returned to the main house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Butler He and Aunt Dou waiting in the courtyard.

When the two of them saw Du Jingyi, they immediately took a few steps forward and said respectfully.

 “The slave (servant) has seen the young lady.”

"Steward He and Aunt Dou are getting up soon. Why are you here so early today? Do you have something to tell me?"

 Both of them nodded, and Aunt Dou stepped forward and explained.

"After I came back yesterday, I have already made an agreement with the masonry team to start construction today. They are all experienced people. They can explain clearly based on the drawings. I estimate that it will be completed in a short time. .”

 Having said that, Aunt Dou handed over the booklet with the status of the clay tile team.

Du Jingyi took it and looked at it, and then said.

 “Sit inside and talk.”

 “Yes, young lady.”

 Renovating the General's Mansion is no small matter, and the auspicious day for their move has been set, so everything must be completed before this date.

 Moreover, quality and quantity must be maintained, so there can be no carelessness.

Du Jingyi watched carefully, and while watching, he talked with Aunt Dou.

After several replies, Du Jingyi also understood that this team of bricklayers is indeed good.

 The quotation is clear and the workmanship is fine.

Even the time when he entered the house, when he left, who came, what kind of work he did, and what place he entered were all reported clearly.
