Chapter 651: cross-examination

Yu Wenshou didn't order dim sum. He always thought that kind of milk cake was something women and children love to eat. He had seen his maids Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang go to the big kitchen many times to ask for food in his name. However, It's not a big deal, Yu Wenshou turned one eye and closed the other.

Today he felt bored and went out to the courtyard to relax, just in time to meet Li Haitang who came to deliver some snacks.

Yu Wenshou is the lord of the city, but he is a careful person, especially the kitchen, which is one of the more important places in the city lord's mansion, and Li Haitang happens to be a stranger.

"City Lord, she is a new dim sum cook, her name is Lu Luo, her godmother is a well-reputed human tooth, and she came into the mansion through the way of a senior manager."

Seeing this, Bai Lu hurriedly took a step forward, obsequiously took the basket, brought it to Yu Wenshou, and explained it empathetically.

As a qualified maid, she must detect her master's thoughts in time, and Bai Lu obviously understands Yu Wenshou's temperament.

"Is that so?"

Yu Wenshou glanced at Li Haitang thoughtfully, inexplicably feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't put it into words.

The hot spring pool is very large, about a few hundred meters away, and a small stone pavilion was built in the middle. People can sit in the water to enjoy the snow and drink, or sit on it. There is a small bridge on the side, which leads directly to the gazebo.

Yu Wenshou stepped into the pavilion first, and the surrounding curtains were used as a cover, only a corner was exposed, so he was not afraid of the windy sky.

"You, come in."

Yu Wenshou pointed at Li Haitang, startling Bai Lu who was beside him, why did the city lord lose his nerve, could he fall in love with an ordinary-looking cook?

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and realized that something was wrong. The city lord must have asked the cook for a question because he was afraid that someone else would put a nail in his house.

The surrounding water was steaming hot, and it seemed that the courtyard was not too cold. Li Haitang was embarrassed, saying that barbarians don't like arty, and even drinking and having fun is like a bull's drink. I really didn't see it, Yu Wenshou is quite good at playing.

With such a luxurious arrangement, you will definitely enjoy it in winter. She is not afraid of being recognized, with her current appearance, she feels like she has time-traveled again when she looks in the mirror.

Bai Lu gave Erni a piece of silver and sent her back first. The little girl turned her head every three steps and kept looking in Li Haitang's direction with worry in her eyes.

Li Haitang waved his hand, and followed Bai Lu into the pavilion from the corridor on one side.

"You said this is an ox tongue cake, is it filled with ox tongue?"

Yu Wenshou opened the lid of the box. The pastry had just cooled down, and it was dotted with a layer of black sesame seeds. It looked crispy and delicious, and it looked good.

Rao is well-informed, and he has never eaten pastry with beef tongue as the filling, which is very fresh.

"Back to the city lord, because the shape of the dim sum is like a cow's tongue, it's called the beef tongue cake. In fact, it has nothing to do with the beef tongue."

When Li Haitang saw that Yu Wenshou wanted to eat it, he quickly explained that there was no beef tongue in it, so she would be wronged if she was punished.

"Oh?"

Without beef tongue, Yu Wenshou became even more curious. When he opened it, there was a scent. He also took a bite if he was not interested in dim sum, and then kept nodding.

Bai Lu squinted her eyes, but she didn't think the city lord could fall in love with a cook, especially one with no distinctive appearance. The girls in the city lord's backyard should not only be protruding but also unique. After all, the city lord is a More paranoid people.

He fell in love with a dancer named Hongtang, so he drew a portrait himself, and searched for someone in Sishui City, causing a disturbance to everyone.

"Good workmanship."

Yu Wenshou nodded and praised.

Bai Lu's eyelids twitched, where is the sun coming out today? The city lord seemed to be in a good mood. He ate the desserts and cakes he usually hated, and praised the new cook.

"Bai Lu, you don't seem to believe it, so just try it."

Yu Wenshou signaled that Bai Lu immediately showed a smiling face, and the city lord let her taste it, which showed that he valued her.

After eating a piece of ox tongue cake, Bai Lu nodded frequently. It tasted very good, salty and fragrant, better than the milk cake she used to eat.

Today, she and Shuangjiang were greedy, so they used the name of the city lord to ask everyone Xu to cook some food. Unexpectedly, that person's mud would not be able to support the wall, and he didn't know where to hide, so the newcomer took advantage of it and got The city lord's appreciation.

If everyone in Xu knew about it, they would definitely regret it.

"What else do you want for dessert?"

Yu Wenshou glanced at Li Haitang and asked casually.

"The maidservant's godmother often sent servants to rich families, and she took the servant girl to various houses."

Li Haitang raised her heart, and the city lord was looking for her to chat on the surface, but in fact he was interrogating her.

Thanks to her thoroughness and carefulness, when chatting with Mrs. Chen, she clarified many details.

Manzi likes dairy products a lot, but ox tongue cakes are Daqi's snacks, so it's no wonder that Yu Wenshou is suspicious of a newcomer.

"The servant will make many similar ones, such as walnut cakes and pretzels. In fact, the servant is better at making milk cakes."

Li Haitang was very embarrassed, lowered her head, pulled the hem of her clothes with her hands, and said in a low voice after a long while, "Aunt Liu from the kitchen told the servant that you don't like sweets."

Yu Wenshou nodded. Indeed, most newcomers would inquire about his preferences. No wonder the little cook chose beef tongue pancakes. It tastes good and has a novel name. It turned out that it was to please him.

As the lord of the city, Yu Wenshou already likes it. In Sishui City, is there any woman who doesn't want to climb into bed and give birth to him?

That girl Hongtang, whose identity was unknown, caught his attention and slipped away again. After so long, he still couldn't find her.

But it really doesn't matter, he has a lot of patience, as long as Hongtang goes to the boundary of Sishui City, it must be in his pocket.

"Your godmother is Mrs. Chen?"

Mrs. Chen used to come to the City Lord's Mansion often to send some children and young masters to his mother, but something happened later and she never came again.

Yu Wenshou was a little impressed, because his mother mentioned it several times, and the boys given by Mrs. Chen were younger.

"Yes, the city lord, in fact, the servant has a merciless request."

Li Haitang tremblingly put on a mask to face Yu Wenshou, saying that she was not nervous would be a lie, she said, "My godmother is alone, I want to sign the contract for five years, so I can go out in the future so that my godmother can take care of me .”

She said this as a psychological tactic, so that Yu Wenshou would not be so deadly chasing and asking questions. Her barbaric language was not smooth, and she was afraid that she would reveal her secrets.

Fortunately, she was stuttering, Yu Wenshou and Bai Lu didn't take it seriously, a little cook must be nervous when she sees a big shot.

"Alright, it's rare for you to be filial."

Yu Wenshou didn't say anything, he stood up, and asked suddenly, "A five-year agreement, have you engaged outside?"

"Slave...I have someone in mind." Li Haitang didn't know if Xiaohong was engaged, but she hadn't married yet in the 16th or 17th years, so she might have something in mind.
