Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 32 One More Bowl

Senior Servant Zhong, Wenqing, and Wenlan had just finished moving in when they spotted Chu Lian's slender silhouette. She glanced in the direction that Chu Lian was going and her eyes widened. Third Third Young Madam is heading to the kitchen?

Wenqing stood on her tiptoes and peeked over. "Momo, there's only the kitchen in that direction."

A glint of contempt flashed through Senior Servant Zhong's eyes. A pretty face and poor manners - truly a young miss from the House of Duke Ying. A declining family couldn't be expected to raise their daughters well, after all. Honestly, how could the mistress of the house personally go into the kitchen to watch the cooks make dinner? Others might think that the Jingan Estate was starving their Third Young Madam!

Chu Lian had no idea that Senior Servant Zhong would even see her actions in such a way. She was just really hungry. Her journey to the kitchen was to see if there were any new ingredients to use.

Inside the kitchen, Chu Lian noticed that there was a bamboo basket filled with all sorts of mushrooms and fungi on the chopping board. The corners of her lips raised. She ordered Xiyan and Jingyan to start making noodles and to begin boiling some soup in preparation for a pot of fresh mushroom noodles.

Noodles were easy to digest. Even if she ate too much, there wouldn't be any harm.

While rolling out the dough for the noodles, Jingyan's face was flushed red from her exertions. She spoke excitedly to Chu Lian, who was sitting to one side. "Third Young Madam, I've only ever seen these mushrooms and fungi steamed. I didn't know you could actually put them in soup. "

Chu Lian: ...

So the nobility in the Great Wu Dynasty ate mushrooms by steaming? Who invented such a weird cooking method? If she ever found out, she would beat them to death!

No wonder the kitchen servant had told her that these mushrooms weren't worth much! They had been brought over simply for a change in taste.

Mushrooms were usually fresh, and contained lots of nutrients. In the modern world, some wild mushrooms could even sell for sky-high prices! Here, no one cared much for them

They were seriously wasting valuable ingredients here.

"Put the mushrooms into the pork bone soup later, and add some milk. The noodles will become even more fragrant if you do that."

"Ah! Really?" Jingyan's cheeks flushed even more when she thought of the delicious meal she would soon get to have. Her speed of noodle-making increased further.

When the mushroom noodles were done, Chu Lian polished off her meal and went off to sleep.

After an hour, Senior Servant Zhong and the other two maidservants were invited to have dinner.

Ever since the main kitchen had been destroyed by the fire, all the servants in each courtyard took their meals in the courtyards kitchen, like their masters. However, they always ate after their masters were done. As for the cooking, a cook had been dispatched to each courtyard.

However, the cook at Songtao Court had nothing to do, because Third Young Madam felt that the meals she made weren't good enough.

At first, when Chu Lian had brought her personal maidservants over, wanting to make her own meals, the cook hadn't been too willing. However, after eating the meals that Third Young Madam had made once, her attitude had done a big 180. She was almost like a dog, waiting close to the door everyday for Third Young Madam to come over again.

All the servants in Songtao Court were blessed with the fortune to eat the dishes made by Chu Lian's instructions, every single day. Chu Lian wanted to make sure they had enough to eat as well, so she would always order more to be made.
