The kitchen of the Tuocheng Yan Mansion is not big. There are few masters who come to stay here, and usually there are only seven or eight people eating. At this moment, the kitchen maid is steaming buns. When she opens the steamer, the steam is rising, like a fairyland.
The girl who was cooking under the stove was about twelve or thirteen years old. She had dark skin, rough eyebrows and eyes, and looked like a stupid girl.
The old woman in the kitchen saw Yougu and came over enthusiastically: "Miss Yougu... This is... This is Miss Xie, right? I'm so blind that I didn't recognize her at first." After saying that, she actually knelt down.
The little girl who was burning the fire under the stove stretched her head out to look, and when she saw the old woman kneeling down, she quickly threw away the fire stick and came out. With a "thump", the little girl knelt on the hard ground.
Yanzhou has a lot of black soil, and the winter is long and cold. The ground is cold, hard and slippery. This kneeling was so strong that Weiyang felt pain for her.
"Get up quickly." Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh and motioned Youlan to help him up.
Youlan first helped up the old woman in the kitchen, and the little girl who was lighting the fire quickly climbed up by herself. She reached out and tugged at her coarse cloth jacket. She couldn't let Youlan help her, as it would be so dirty and would dirty Youlan's hands.
Wei Yang looked again and again. In the past, the maids around her were all picked and chosen by her mother. Not only were they smart, but they also looked great. This was the first time she had seen a fire-making maid like this. She originally wanted to see if she could use her, but now she thought it was probably not possible, because she was too honest!
"How old are you?"
The fire-making girl looked at Wei Yang in confusion, then looked at You Gu, and then turned to look at the old woman beside her. Was the girl talking to her
Seeing her naivety, Wei Yang felt even more discouraged. She was too eager for success. With just a little girl like her, she was not even half as good as Konggu and Youlan, let alone compared with her previous ones.
"The girl is asking you a question." The old woman quickly poked the little girl who was making the fire.
"Miss, I am ten years old." The little girl knelt down again.
Ten years old? Wei Yang couldn't help but look at her again. The ten-year-old actually looked taller than her. She was thirteen years old!
"Don't kneel, Yougu, just cook the dishes and bring them to the room, you don't have to follow me." Wei Yang turned around and left without any interest. If it really didn't work out, she would go buy two maids. Anyway, she didn't lack money, and Yan Gui wouldn't be reluctant to buy her two maids.
Having made up her mind, Wei Yang walked at a lighter pace. She decided to buy a few young maids. Although the older ones were sensible, they might not be loyal.
A brick path next to the kitchen leads to the garden. When she came here, she walked along the corridor. When she returned, Wei Yang wanted to go around and walk through the garden. After walking a dozen steps, she heard heavy footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw the little girl who was making the fire running over with a thick board in her arms.
He walked past Wei Yang, bowed hastily, and ran past.
Wei Yang followed behind curiously to see what she was going to do.
I saw a small patch of ice on the brick road ahead, shining in the refraction of sunlight.
The little girl walked to the icy area, bent down, placed the board on it, pushed it carefully, and made sure it was stable before standing up and carefully serving on the side.
Wei Yang couldn't help but walk over curiously, stepped on it, rolled her eyes and looked back, and saw the little girl stretching out her hands weakly, as if she was afraid that she would fall.
It turned out that she saw me walking on this road and was afraid that I would fall, so she ran over with the board to pave the road! What a thoughtful little girl.
