Chapter 34: Dry weather and changeable mood
Seeing Shen Ying coming, a man waiting beside the carriage shouted, "Kneel down."
Shen Ying stood straight and asked in confusion what had happened.
That expression seemed like he really didn't understand why he was being scolded.
The person who was scolding was about to reach out to suppress Shen Ying, but she dodged and said, "Men and women should not touch each other, be careful! If you have something to say, use your mouth!"
Young Master Ma was so amused by what he saw that he stopped his men from moving. “We accepted you into our team because Qi Yanchuan vouched for your excellent cooking skills. But what did you serve today?”
Shen Ying did not answer the question but raised a question: "I was caught by your aunt before I even finished cooking. I heard her say something about dying on the road to escape famine. Where did I get the food for you? Ah, you touched the food I cooked? And then you blame me?"
She didn't bother to argue with Ma Dashao and the others, and directly put the hat back on. "Are you kidding me? I know that you rich people value your dignity, but can you tell right from wrong? I didn't even say the food was ready! Can you blame me for this?"
Young Master Ma paused, glanced at Shen Ying, and then looked at the guards beside him.
The guard was also confused. It wasn't him who brought the food, so how did he know that Shen Ying didn't make it herself.
Shen Ying sighed: "What kind of cooking skills do I have? Didn't you eat it the other day? Why did you eat something wrong? First of all, I, the guide, offended you.
Young Master, I call you Young Master because of Qi Yanchuan, not because I am really your servant and you can manipulate me at will. If my life is like this in the future, and you call me over and scold me and make me kneel without any reason, it is better for us to separate now and go our separate ways. "
He shook his head and looked disheartened.
Someone in the crowd suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around to run.
Everything will be fine as long as you run to your master.
But her shoulders were held down by someone. As a real servant of the Ma family, she was mercilessly held down by the guards. "Madam Liu! What's going on? You were the one who brought the food here just now!"
Shen Ying took a few steps back, intending to make room for the show, but someone came up behind her.
Qi Yanchuan.
He lowered his eyes to look at Shen Ying and asked in a low voice. "What's wrong?"
Shen Ying didn't make a clear distinction with Qi Yanchuan at this time. She approached him and replied, "The eldest young master's aunt had someone take me there to threaten him. The food I didn't prepare was served to the eldest young master, and they were blaming me just now."
In the current situation, it doesn't seem like Shen Ying is at a disadvantage.
"I put on a big show, and now they are holding the real culprit accountable." Shen Ying naturally knew that Young Master Ma was not the type to kill people indiscriminately, and he also liked to establish an image of awe-inspiring power rather than cruelty in front of his sweetheart.
That's why I took the initiative and made a scene.
In fact, slowly explaining the situation to the person who is truly derelict in his duty might be more effective and the process more gentle, but the weather was hot and she was impatient.
Shen Ying noticed the height difference between herself and Qi Yanchuan, so she adjusted the angle to provide shade for herself. So she asked Qi Yanchuan to stand still, and she moved this way and that to find the angle to stand firmly.
When Qi Yanchuan reacted, he was speechless.
"You're just basking in the sun anyway, doing good things."
Qi Yanchuan walked towards the carriage.
Young Master Ma does not kill indiscriminately, but he is also a man, and he naturally knows that a man in a feudal society with a certain financial status will not like to be disobeyed, even if the other party is right.
Shen Ying has her own experience of climbing up from the market.
He has his own face, which is maintained by relying on decency.
Qi Yanchuan bowed his hands, first asking Young Master Ma to calm down, then took the responsibility: "It's my fault that Xiao Shen and I had a little temper and didn't strictly supervise her cooking. Someone intervened and caused this misunderstanding.
I hope that Master Ma will be polite and ask others not to get close to Shen Ying's stove while she is cooking. I will also remind everyone in advance not to get close at will, and ensure that Master Ma's meals are worry-free."
This is to let Young Master Ma restrict Aunt Ma's rights and prevent her from harassing people outside the Ma family's motorcade.
How could Young Master Ma not know?
Seeing that there was a staircase down, he couldn't really order the elderly Madam Liu to be beaten or scolded, so he asked the guards to pass the message on.
The storm was almost over here, and a figure who wanted to stop while the going was good came over and said that she would give them a quarter of an hour and she would make some snacks for the two of them to fill their stomachs.
The beauty became interested. Normally, it would take Shen Ying about an hour to cook, and the process was complicated. How come she only had a quarter of an hour to cook today?
"Thank you." Young Master Ma was probably reminded by Shen Ying's words. Although Shen Ying was an ordinary citizen, a commoner, she did not sell herself to the Ma family. She was not a slave, but a free person.
Therefore, everyone was more polite when speaking.
Shen Ying brought over the mashed potatoes after a while. Due to time constraints, the mashed potatoes were not smooth enough and had a noticeable grainy feel.
However, the cooking method was relatively novel, the seasoning was relatively rich, and paired with sour soup noodles, it satisfied the appetites of Master Ma and the other two.
I feel full and no longer feel anxious, and my mood is better.
The convoy continued on its journey. In the evening, Shen Ying saw that there was salted fish among the ingredients, so she made a salted fish and eggplant stew, which was suitable for porridge or rice.
After she delivered the meal, she sat down with Qi Yanchuan to enjoy their dinner.
Due to the instructions given during the day, no one approached their stove, making it convenient for them to eat.
"I'll just eat some white rice." Going to the bathroom one or two less times will prevent your sleep from being affected.
Shen Ying didn't mind the toilet problem. She chose cold porridge, which was more refreshing. She also rolled the vegetables into pancakes, made six of them, and took them back home in the carriage.
As for the mess on the stove, let Qi Yanchuan take care of it.
Unexpectedly, when I came back this time, there was one more person in the carriage, Grandma Shen.
She drooped her eyelids, but when she saw Shen Ying coming back, she became more excited. She called her good granddaughter and wanted to pull Shen Ying along.
Shen Ying suddenly felt that the burrito was in danger.
Sure enough, after a few words from the old lady, the Shen family, as children, were generous and had to separate the four of them, who were then taken out of the car and left by the old lady.
Shen Ying hammered the frame in displeasure.
The old lady was not very nice to her.
Now he is thinking of taking advantage of her. Maybe the original owner does have the obligation to be filial. However, Shen Ying does not like this kind of forced giving with moral blackmail.
If she is happy, I won't feel bad if I give her more.
If you are not happy, several burritos will be upset.
There are only two in hand. According to Old Mrs. Shen, Shen Youtian and his wife should have one each. Shen Ying must have eaten it already, so there is no need for her. And Xiao He is not a member of the Shen family, so what will he eat?
There was a family of one person and children at a time, and together with the food and the things they took, they occupied a total of four.
Shen Ying shared the wraps with Lian Bihe and Shen's mother.
Shen Youtian glanced at him eagerly, not having the confidence to speak. He was the one who just said, "Give it to me. I don't want to eat it. I've already eaten."
Although she knew it was filial piety, Shen Ying now found that her patience with this couple had decreased a lot.
During the day, for the sake of Shen Youtian, she had hurriedly asked Qi Yanchuan to give her some nutrient solution and resume the transaction with Qi Yanchuan. But now, because of a few cakes, she felt that she didn't like him at all.
She pulled Lian Bihe outside to talk, so that she wouldn't have to look at the burrito and feel uncomfortable whether to eat it or not.
After Lian Bihe finished eating, Shen Ying tied up a hammock and just lay down.
