Wei Qingwan was about to get up when Cuihe stopped her, “Miss, it’s not Chef Yu who is cooking in the kitchen today, but Miss’s personal maid, Xiumei.”

“Xiumei? Why is it her?” Wei Qingwan looked at Cuihe in disbelief.

Mo mo Li also just learned about this news and looked puzzled, “What’s going on here, He’er?*”

*He’er is the child nickname of Cuihe.

“I don’t know the specific reason, but that’s what Madam ordered today. Just now, when I came over from the front yard, I passed by the kitchen and heard Chef Yu complaining,” Cuihe replied.

Mo mo Li gritted her teeth, “This Wei Qingruo is really smart! Even at this time, she didn’t forget to seize a chance to show off!”

“Mo mo, then what should we do?” Wei Qingwan said worriedly.

“Don’t be anxious, although we’ve lost the lead now, there may be opportunities; as long as the pastries you make are better, any dishes Wei Qingruo’s maid makes will be outdone.” Mo mo Li said.

Wei Qingwan’s pastry skills were recognized. Not only had the ladies in Xingshan County praised her, but she had also been praised by everyone in the capital.

Their old madam had been living a luxurious life since childhood, and was particularly picky about food. Few foods could get a word of praise from her, but the second young lady’s osmanthus cake got a very high rating from her, so it was clear that the second young lady’s osmanthus cake was of a very high standard.

Wei Qingwan nodded and then faced a new problem.

She was still grounded by her mother, and could not leave Wangmei Garden, let alone go to the kitchen.

Mo mo Li asked Wei Qingwan not to worry, “You don’t have to go to the big kitchen to make pastries. I’ll go get everything for Miss, and you can make it in the yard. After it’s done, I’ll have Chef Yu arrange for her people to take it to the front yard.”

Although Mo mo Li’s position in the mansion was not as high as before, her relationship with several key servants in the mansion was still very good, and she still could help Wei Qingwan handle this matter.

After the agreement, Wei Qingwan and Mo mo Li got busy.

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

These people in the kitchen were not familiar with them, so they had no tacit understanding. They were afraid that they would make things worse by accident.

Besides, the cook looked unhappy when she left just now, which Wei Ruo saw; if the other party was dissatisfied, Wei Ruo thought that it would be better to be careful.

Although Chu Lan asked for this meal today and she could not refuse, as long as she made it, she had to make it well and not make any mistakes.

So Wei Ruo decided to help Xiumei cook. As long as he didn’t tell anyone that she had taken part in this lunch.

Although there were only two people, Wei Ruo and Xiumei had a great understanding. They were skilled in cooking and well-organized.

The stew and soup should be cooked first, and the preparation for stir-fried dishes should be done well. After the front yard reports that Young Master Chu, Young Master Lu and County Head Magistrate Qian have taken their seats, the cooking should be done to ensure that every dish is hot.

One dish after another was brought out from the kitchen.

In the dining hall in the front yard, there were four people – Wei Mingting, Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong and County Head Magistrate Qian.

Lu Yuhong didn’t go to the field to see how the rice was growing in the morning. But when Chu Lan came back and told him that he was going to the Wei family for lunch, he ran faster than anyone else.

County Head Magistrate Qian repeatedly praised, “Good cooking skill, this is really delicious. Lord Wei, you are so blessed!”
