C19 Peaches are more than just a rice bucket

"Then you've been starving in the Xu family for the past one month?" Xu Mingwei asked in surprise.

"I came to the mansion to do some work, but my appetite has been reduced, so I can eat until I'm full …"

His tone was as weak as ever.

Since she was young, Xu Mingwei had always been an intelligent girl serving him, and it was only Wan Ting who had a rather loose personality, but she had a little stomach that was fine, the things that happened on the surface were never vague, they were truly never seen such a simple and playful girl, she did not even know how to lie, and before anyone suspected her, she herself was already afraid.

"To be honest, have you eaten your fill yet?" She looked at him coldly, which made Peaches feel scared again.

"I dare not lie to you, young lady. When I first entered the mansion, I did not even dare to open my stomach to eat. I was hungry for over half a month. Later on, Yang mama relaxed her hold on the food. Everyone had two steamed buns for breakfast and dinner, but the porridge was for free. "Your servant has thought of a way to stealthily drink seven or eight bowls of porridge to the point where half of my stomach is full. If I can fill in two more steamed buns, I won't be as hungry anymore."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Mingwei's expression and hurriedly explained, "Miss, the porridge in the manor is really drunk as you please. It's really because Yang mama is too strict with her, this servant is really hungry, otherwise, this servant wouldn't have the guts to drink too much."

"Alright, I'm not blaming you. Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Mingwei stopped her with a bland voice, then led her towards the direction of the big kitchen.

It was already past dinner time. Nanny Xu and a few stewards were not present, only a few small girls were left behind. They looked at Xu Mingwei curiously, but did not recognize her.

Xu Mingwei picked one who looked slightly older and smarter, threw over a tael of silver, and said: "What's left on the table? "There's still noodles and steamed buns, but if there's anything you can eat, please find me some."

The one that was chosen by Xu Mingwei was called Xiao Ru, although he had never seen her before, judging by her dressing and age, she could guess that she was going to be young, but he did not dare not take her silver. After all, there were plenty of things in the kitchen, and if she took anything from the house as a favor, she would be skinned alive by Nanny Xu and the rest. She then accepted it with a smile, and politely carried a small stool over for Xu Mingwei to sit on while she waited, then brought a few small ones into the kitchen.

There was nothing left in the kitchen at all. There were only a few people in the mansion now, and the amount of silver that the accountant had allocated was fixed. Even the food that was cooked was also fixed, and each meal was just enough for one or two steamed buns, which were all shared by their own people in the kitchen. But now, the most important young master in the mansion had personally come, and he wanted to eat the moment he opened his mouth. How could Xiao Ru dare to reject him?

The dough for the steamed buns was ready-made, but it was faster than cutting the noodles. A few girls started a fire and squeezed the dough together. After a while, a basket of steamed buns was placed on the drawer.

Xiao Ru was afraid that Xu Mingwei would have other uses, and thought that one tael of silver was enough to buy two cages of steamed buns, so she let the girls steam him another.

The girls outside, who were sitting with Xu Mingwei, all looked at her strangely. From their hair, they could see that the clothes she wore were a little out of order. Jade Peaches glared at him one by one. She had received a proper lesson from Yang mama before, how could she be so unbridled in front of her master?!

However, when the fragrance of the rice noodles wafted out from the kitchen, she felt that she could no longer hold on. The meal at noon had long since turned into a shadow and she couldn't even find a single piece of dregs.

From start to finish, Xu Mingwei had been watching the reaction of the peaches. Seeing her drooling over it, Xu Mingwei couldn't help but laugh.

She wasn't so bored as to do such a thing.

The Xu family did not lack smart and capable servants, but there were very few who were as shrewd as Jade Peaches. If he were to teach them well, he would be much more at ease than Wan Rong and the others. He just didn't know that she couldn't handle it … While he was thinking, the girls in the kitchen had already brought out two plates of steamed buns that were still steaming. They were placed high, at least twenty plates high.

Ever since she teleported to this world, she had been eating in extreme detail. Not only had the dishes been cooked in great detail, even the platters had been arranged in such an exquisite manner. It had been a long time since she had seen such a bold and rugged method of serving dishes. Xu Mingwei couldn't react for a while, but he still heard the sound of Jade Peaches sucking on her saliva before he snapped back into reality.

"All the steamed buns are here?" Looking at the look of the peaches, Xu Mingwei was secretly worried that these peaches were not enough for her to eat.

"In reply to my lady, there is still a pot inside. These are all steamed in the pot above, so it will ripen faster. I will have to wait a bit longer in the cage below, it will only taste good if it is fully cooked." When Xiao Ru heard her tone, it sounded like she was going to eat here. She was also shocked, there were already more than twenty buns, was it not enough for him to eat?

"No worries. Go and pour some hot water inside. When the steamed bun is done cooking, bring it over with me." Xu Mingwei nodded.

Xiao Ru did not dare to ask too much and followed her instructions.

Xu Mingwei turned her head and ordered the peaches to sit down to eat.

Bi Tao didn't understand her thoughts. He obediently sat down to eat. Three bites of the steamed buns were like a dry meal to him. The two big plates of steamed buns were wiped clean in less than half a minute.

Xu Mingwei: It really can eat!

Xiao Ru:...

She was the same as Xu Mingwei at the start, looking up and down, but she still could not find where those twenty odd steamed buns were eaten by the peaches.

"Are you full? I want to hear the truth. " Xu Mingwei turned her head and looked at Xiao Ru, the latter understood, and had the little girls go in to take another crate of steamed buns.

"I'm not full yet. Another fifteen steamed buns would be enough." She had been in the Xu Family for so long, or rather, since she was young, she had never eaten anything so delicious. Having eaten so much, her stomach felt warm, filled with the warmth and comfort of food.

When Xu Mingwei heard her voice, she knew that she was not speaking the truth and did not pursue the matter. When the rest of the steamed buns came out, Xu Mingwei immediately grabbed them and ate them without even calling for the peaches. She did not even need to drink a mouthful of water to see what was happening.

It was hard to come by such a delicious steamed bun, so how could Bi Tao bear to drink water that took up the space in his stomach? Naturally, he could eat as much as he could. She could tell that seven girls liked her. Otherwise, if she could eat it like this, wouldn't seven girls's heart hurt? He would probably scold her to death by scolding her.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She actually finished the rest of the 25 steamed buns as well. In the end, she burped and started to drink.

Xu Mingwei wanted to stop her, she had just eaten so many steamed buns, and only then did she drink the water, she was afraid that if she swallowed the water, the steamed buns would explode and she would die, it was not like she had never seen such news before. She didn't expect that Peaches' movements would be so fast. With a raise of her head, she completely drank up the entire teapot of water. She still jumped up and down like usual without any problems.

As expected, one could not deduce a rice bucket based on common sense. Xu Mingwei thought.

The most direct influence was that even servants of the Xu Estate would have to ask about it after taking a wife. Although it was a blessing to be able to eat, a newlyweds like them would never be able to withstand such a large amount of food.

At this moment, Peaches still did not know that she was already a loner in the Xu Family (destined to be). At only seven years old, she was already famous, and no one dared to marry her. Right now, in her eyes, there was only this cold faced young master that could let her eat her fill. If it was a tail behind her back, she would not doubt it at all and would definitely shake it off.

Xu Mingwei used forty-eight white bread and completely recruited a girl who listened to everything she said. Fearing that Wan Rong and the others would think of something, she decided to let them clean up the courtyard. In the future, when Xu Mingwei went to Eldest Princess to read with her, she would follow him over, saving the time and effort of the four girls in the room to take someone else with her. Everyone else would have their own thoughts, which would be perfect for them to do their homework in the courtyard during this period of time.

Jade Peaches happily agreed.

Xu Mingwei gave the big kitchen five taels of silver, telling the little girls to deliver more white rice and steamed buns to the moon-nesting in the following month. They didn't need to tell anyone else, they could just directly go to the moon-nesting and give the peaches to the moon-nesting.

When Xiao Ru heard this, her face turned bitter. Xu Mingwei had thought that she was giving him too little silver, but in truth, five taels of silver was enough for her family of three to live in the capital for half a year. She was a little displeased, since the people in the big kitchen were too greedy.

Xiao Ru saw that her expression was not right and immediately explained, "Young miss has given more money to me in the afternoon, these five taels of silver are more than enough to take care of little sister Peaches' one month of food, but these servants do not have much strength left, and the master of the second house fourth wife still needs to wait upon them, their manpower is truly nervous."

When Peaches heard that, she continued, "Then what is there to be embarrassed about? Sister Xiao Ru, since this is the case, since this servant knows the way, why not order the dishes and bring the dishes here? "

Xiao Ru was shocked, "It's easy to take a steamed bun, but that steamed bun is almost 30 Jin, you are so small, how can you take it out?"

Xu Mingwei was also interested to see exactly how much power the peaches had, so she did not make a sound. Bi Tao looked at her. Seeing that Xu Mingwei didn't have any intentions of objecting, she also wanted to show off her skills in front of the little mistress so that she would know that she was worth it.

She looked around and spotted a small stone grinder that was placed outside the kitchen. It was specially used to grind beans and almonds. Although it was small, it weighed about seventy to eighty catties. She had made up her mind about this.

Xiao Ru saw that she was about to grab it, and shouted in alarm, "Be careful, this is not a joke."

Peaches smiled innocently, tested the weight with one hand, and used a little bit of strength to lift the millstone.

Xiao Ru and the others:...
