After being dressed as cannon fodder, I feed tyrants by cooking skills

Chapter 7 Making Noodles

"Girl Yu, open the door quickly, I have something to tell you." Jiang Yu was cooking on the stove when she was interrupted by a sudden door call, so she had no choice but to call out to Qi Yan to let him watch the pot.

"Don't do anything else, just follow me. Yang Yuanwai in the town is looking for someone to make rice noodles. I heard that they will give you a lot of money. You are a good cook, so you can do it." Aunt Li came in a hurry. Panting heavily, she took Jiang Yu's hand and was about to walk out.

After explaining to Qi Yan, Jiang Yu followed Aunt Li.

Yang Yuanwai is a well-known rich man in the town. He has a good face and loves to brag.

A few days ago, when a few members of the town were drinking tea and chatting together, Yang Yuanwai declared to the outside world that the chef in charge of the spoon in his mansion was a descendant of the imperial cook, that his ancestors had served the nobles in the palace, and that his cook was not only proficient in all kinds of northern and southern cuisines , The taste of making it is also a must.

Those few outsiders were very interested in this, and they also had a lot of research on food, so they immediately proposed to pick a day to come and taste the cook's handicraft for themselves.

Yang Yuanwai was dumbfounded when he heard that, he knew very well in his heart that there are no descendants of Lao Shizi's imperial cooks, the cooks in his house are just ordinary cooks, and the dishes they cook are just make do.But all these words have been said, and of course it is impossible to take them back.

Unable to bear their strong demands, Yang Yuanwai gritted his teeth and agreed.

That's why today the Yang family asked the chef to cook the noodles.

As soon as he entered the Yang family's kitchen, Jiang Yu saw four or five women gathered together, and a well-dressed, short and fat middle-aged man was admonishing them: "Today's banquet can be said to be a special event for our master." It's very important, if you do a good job, each of you will be rewarded with [-] Wen, if you mess up, hum, I'll let you all go around without food!"

There was shrewdness in his eyes, as if he had thought of something, he cleared his throat: "You'd better put away all the thoughts you shouldn't have, if something happens, even if the king of heaven comes, I will I can't save you!"

It turned out that this person was the housekeeper of the Yang family, and Yuan Wai Yang specially sent him to supervise the work in the kitchen. At this time, he was very worried. If he messes up the dinner...he's really good at the job.

Jiang Yu was squatting there picking vegetables. She pulled off the withered leaves and put the fresh-looking vegetables into the basket. Then she stood up, stretched her legs that were numb from squatting for a long time, and was about to go to the well to draw. Wash vegetables.

The kitchen was full of fireworks, everyone was busy with their hands, and the cook was cutting meat in front of the chopping board.

"Come on, come on!" A gust of wind carried the voice over, making it vaguely unreal.

Immediately afterwards, the cry for help became louder and louder, mixed with panicked footsteps and deafening dog barking.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked around looking for the sound.I saw a big dog with black fur and the shape of a lion rushing straight to the kitchen. Behind the big dog, there were three or four servants with sticks in their hands.The servants chased the big dog hard while calling for help.

Seeing the big dog rushing towards them, the women kept their eyes open, and threw the basin in their hands on the ground with a bang, as if they were stepping on a cotton cover, and they collapsed to the ground after a few steps. Weeping and crying, he beat the ground with his hands anxiously.

Aunt Li also panicked, and ran straight to Jiang Yu. She staggered because she was running too fast, but she quickly got up, regardless of the dirt on her body, and dragged Jiang Yu behind her. He kept muttering: "Yu girl, don't be afraid..."

The big dog actually jumped up and rushed towards the cook, who was pinned down tightly by the big dog as tall as a person and couldn't move.The dog was breathing hot air from its nose, and after uttering a ferocious bark, it showed its sharp fangs, and bit the cook's hand in one bite.

The cook's screams echoed in the kitchen, and even the entire backyard.Seeing this, several servants hurried forward and tied the dog firmly with an iron chain. They pulled and dragged the dog back into the cage with all their strength.

The bright red blood seeped into the cracks of the bricks, the cook covered his bitten hand and said ouch, the cry of pain became smaller and smaller, the cook closed his eyes and passed out.

The butler slapped his thigh, thinking how the beast who had received a thousand knives had hurt someone, then immediately waved his hand and asked someone to carry the cook out.

After everyone managed to calm down, they immediately discovered another problem.Now that the cook is injured, he will definitely not be able to continue cooking, so who will cook the noodles now?
Yes, who is going to do this table?The butler scratched his head and scratched his head, sweating profusely.Seeing that it's time to start the banquet, when all the staff members come to the door, this banquet can't be done, the master will lose face and he will take the knife...

"I know how to cook, I want to try." Jiang Yu said.There is still no problem for her to cook noodles, let alone a helper.

The housekeeper looked her up and down suspiciously, and hummed softly: "You are a girl, you are not very old, and your tone of voice is really not small. Do you know who are the people who come to the house to eat noodles today?" ? Having said that, who can come to this group of cooks, who can't cook?"

"That's right, who doesn't know how to cook? I think you should stop talking big here. If you mess up the Yang family's important affairs, you will wipe your tears." Several women nearby saw the housekeeper like this Said, they have echoed.The chef who makes the noodles can get two taels of silver, that is a lot of money, and no one will be envious of anyone who sees it.

"What's the matter? Who said that a young girl can't cook noodles? I have tasted this girl's cooking skills, and she does a good job." Hearing that the housekeeper said that Jiang Yu's cooking skills are not good, Aunt Li is not willing.

Thinking about it now, this girl is the only one who dares to open her mouth to take over the job. There is really no way to waste this time, and delaying in making up her mind is not an option.Fortunately, there are enough ingredients prepared in the kitchen today, why not let her try it first?
The housekeeper said to Jiang Yu with a cold face: "How about this, you cook a dish for me to taste first, and then I will consider whether you can make this dish."

Seeing that the butler had said this, Jiang Yu quickly got to work.

She saw that there was rolled wide noodles in the kitchen, she boiled a pot of water, put a few small green vegetables on it when the water boiled.Then sprinkle with chili flakes and chopped green onion, pour in the seasoning, and drizzle with hot oil.

Then he walked out with the ready-made oil-splashed noodles. As soon as the bowl was put down, a scent of chili entered the butler's nose, and his brows relaxed a little.He picked up a noodle and sucked it into his mouth. The strong smell of chili and vinegar filled his mouth. He chewed and gulped it down. Feeling that he didn't taste the taste, he picked up another noodle into the mouth.

His worried face instantly relaxed, and he held the bowl and sent the noodles to his mouth.A bite of the crunchy green vegetables just neutralizes the taste of the chili and relieves the spiciness.

The housekeeper ate up a bowl of oil-splashed noodles. He pushed the bowl aside and wiped his mouth: "It's you."

"But the ugly words are up front, and if you mess up, the responsibility will be on you."

"I understand." Jiang Yu nodded.

There was a lot of trouble just now, and the wives who doubted Jiang Yu's cooking skills had to shut their mouths embarrassingly after hearing what the housekeeper said.
