Meng Shao, you have today too

Chapter 55 Huaiyang Cuisine

Kong Lingxin's delicate face was rosy with anger, extremely cute.

Seeing her expression that can become more beautiful when she is angry, Meng Zexiao became more motivated and continued to comment on Kong Lingxin's hard work for two hours.

At this time, Sister Fang and Mrs. Qi, the maid who was in charge of cooking, came back together. They entered the restaurant and saw the table full of dishes. Mrs. Qi explained without knowing it: "I'm sorry for the second young master, I'm sorry for the second young lady, I just brought a few servants. I went to the old house to see if there was anything I could do to help, but I came back late, and I didn't have time to come back to cook for the second young master."

Mrs. Qi saw a table of sumptuous dishes and thought that Kong Lingxin and Wan Si had packed them from a restaurant outside, and said to Wan Si, "Thank you, Secretary Wan, for helping to pack the dishes at the restaurant, otherwise the second young master flew home after a long-distance flight. I can't even eat."

It turned out that Mrs. Qi actually thought that Kong Lingxin's cooking was packaged from the restaurant.

Hearing what Mrs. Qi said, Kong Lingxin was a little complacent, and unconsciously looked at the fruits of her labor. Judging from the appearance, she looked a bit like a restaurant chef, but I haven't had time to taste the taste. I don't know if it's true. It was as unpalatable as Meng Zexiao said.

Meng Zexiao had a panoramic view of Kong Lingxin's reaction, knowing what she was thinking, and wanted to tease her even more.

Meng Zexiao said to the servant who was standing next to Mrs. Qi and was in charge of cooking: "Sister Fang, come and have a taste, and see how the fried dishes in the restaurant are different from yours. You can also learn."

Sister Fang has been at Meng's house for some years. Generally speaking, chefs are men, but Sister Fang is an exception.It is said that Sister Fang’s grandfather was the imperial cook in the palace. After Emperor Fu Yi was kicked out of the palace, Sister Fang’s grandfather brought the royal recipes out of the palace. After several generations, the recipes also disappeared amid family disputes. .

Sister Fang's generation has lost the glory of the past. As the elder sister, she wants to resume her ancestral career. She started as an apprentice, perhaps because of her genes. In the men's industry, Sister Fang finally became a five-star hotel chef with her own efforts.

The five-star hotel was owned by the Dingsheng Group, and the Meng family needed a servant who could cook, so they finally gave Sister Fang double the salary to come to the Meng family to cook.The salary can be doubled compared with the easy salary in the hotel, so Sister Fang will naturally not refuse.Because Sister Fang can also cook Western food, it caters to the taste of Meng Zexiao who studied abroad. When he married Kong Lingxin and insisted on moving out, Sister Fang followed.

Although it can be seen from the usual meals that Sister Fang's cooking skills are profound, but now Kong Lingxin does not know the details of Sister Fang.

According to Meng Zexiao's request, Sister Fang picked up the chopsticks on the table and tasted them.

If it was just Meng Zexiao who continued to comment, Kong Lingxin would definitely turn around and go upstairs and let him play alone.But when the servant came back, Kong Lingxin thought that Meng Zexiao had threatened her with withholding the servant's salary, fearing that he would repeat his old tricks, so she didn't want to act rashly.

After Sister Fang tasted it, she began to express her opinion: "These dishes are not bad, but from the perspective of knife skills and heat, they should be made by apprentices who have just entered the industry. From the perspective of cooking methods, they are mainly stewed. Braised and simmered, the dishes are fresh and light, which should belong to Huaiyang cuisine."

Kong Lingxin was shocked. She didn't expect that an ordinary-looking servant like Sister Fang could tell Huaiyang cuisine from the dishes she cooked!
It turns out that cooking will not only reveal that you are not a noble daughter with ten fingers not touching the spring water, but also reveal your hometown!
Faced with such a situation, Kong Lingxin had no choice but to say something to prevent Sister Fang from telling the truth in order to get away with it, so as not to attract the attention of the "enemy".

Kong Lingxin gave a heavy "hum" and said, "Meng Zexiao, do you like it or not? Anyway, this table is not for you! You don't have to love the fruits of my two hours of hard work, but you have no right to say Make irresponsible remarks!"

After finishing speaking, Kong Lingxin turned around and was about to leave the restaurant. Seeing this, Wan Si hurriedly walked up to her and comforted her: "Second young lady, don't be angry, Mr. Meng is just joking. Seeing that you made such a large table of dishes for him, Meng It’s too late for me to be happy! It’s just that Mr. Meng is not good at complimenting people, so I use another method to praise you. For a young lady like you, it’s good to know how to make instant noodles, but your cooking skills can be compared with hotel chefs , although he is an apprentice, but at least he can be regarded as a chef—”

When Wan Si said this, Sister Fang and Sister-in-law Qi were a little caught off guard. They couldn't imagine that the noble Second Young Mistress could cook, let alone cook more than a dozen dishes at once.If judged by the standard of a chef, these dishes are at the level of an apprentice, but judged by the identity of the second young lady, they are definitely superior!
Sister Fang hurriedly said to Kong Lingxin: "Compared to the second young lady, I don't know that you made this dish! I'm really not flattering you. Someone of your age and status can cook such a table of dishes, it is definitely talented!"

Sister-in-law Qi also said, "That's right, Second Young Mistress, don't be angry, just like Secretary Wan said, Second Young Master is actually praising you."

Meng Zexiao frowned, why did these people who received their Meng family salaries all favor Kong Lingxin!
Looking at his uncertain face, except for Kong Lingxin, everyone else was very disturbed.

After being eerily quiet for a while, Meng Zexiao said, "Sit down and eat, you've been busy for so long!"

Everyone knows that the "you" in Meng Zexiao's mouth refers to Kong Lingxin. Except for the client, the others breathed a sigh of relief. Wan Si pulled Kong Lingxin to sit next to Meng Zexiao and said, "Let's clean the kitchen first. Mr. Meng, you and the second young lady eat slowly first."

In an instant, only Meng Zexiao and Kong Lingxin were left in the restaurant.

Seeing that Kong Lingxin, whose mouth was still pouting high, was very different from the happy expression on his face when he was busy in the kitchen, Meng Zexiao couldn't hold back anymore, and once again threatened her with his usual trick: "Eat well, I will You should know the principle of doing things!"

Although Kong Lingxin was angry, she would still be reluctant to let her abandon the fruits of her labor.

Picking up the chopsticks and eating by herself, I don't know if it's delicious because I made it or the taste of my hometown is causing trouble in my taste buds, Kong Lingxin thinks this meal is the best dish I have eaten since I came to City B.

Meng Zexiao didn't expect Kong Lingxin to compromise so quickly, and he was secretly happy that she could still be controlled by him, although it was by threats.

Seeing her feasting, Meng Zexiao was also infected. He would pick whatever dish Kong Lingxin picked up, and the two of them at the table had no other words but to eat.

In the kitchen, she secretly peeped at the two people outside the restaurant, and Wan Si said thankfully, "Fortunately, there was no quarrel."

Mrs. Qi also took a look outside, but she still found it inconceivable and asked Wan Si: "The dishes on the table are really made by the second young lady?"

Wan Si nodded noncommittally, "Of course it's true! You open the refrigerator and have a look, all the dishes in it have been cooked by the Second Young Mistress and served on the table."

Sister Fang immediately opened the refrigerator, and said with emotion: "It's actually true! The Second Young Mistress is really a person, and she can cook vegetables."

Mrs. Qi also praised: "The Kong family really knows how to educate children. The Second Young Mistress is not only beautiful but also cooks. It's just that the Second Young Mistress didn't show these advantages before. Otherwise, the Second Young Master wouldn't care about her." body."

While they were discussing in whispers, Kong Lingxin's voice came from the dining room, "Don't hide in the kitchen, all of you, come out to eat! It would be a waste not to eat so many dishes!"

The three of them looked at each other, and Mrs. Qi said to Wan Si, "Secretary Wan, go out to eat, and we won't go. There is no rule in the Meng family for servants to eat with the master. It would be bad if Madam found out." .”

After Wan Si hesitated for a while, she still bit the bullet and came out.

Seeing that she was the only one, Kong Lingxin asked, "Why is it just you?"

Before Wan Si had time to answer, Meng Zexiao said, "If you still want the two of them to continue working in the Meng family, don't mention any more people-friendly behaviors of letting them eat with you at the table!"

Kong Lingxin gave Meng Zexiao a blank look, and secretly cursed in her heart——is the servant an inferior person?
Seeing that Kong Lingxin misunderstood Meng Zexiao's expression, Wan Si helped Meng Zexiao explain: "Sister-in-law Qi told me just now that servants must eat in a restaurant dedicated to servants. This rule was set by Mrs. Meng, and Mr. Meng did the same. I follow my mother's opinion, so this has nothing to do with Mr. Meng."

Kong Lingxin stopped talking and concentrated on eating.

Looking at the incompatible and divorced couple in front of her, Wan Si had no choice but to try her best to adjust the atmosphere. She said, "Second Young Mistress's dishes are really just like people's, fresh and refreshing. Compared with northern dishes, the taste is not as good. It's so heavy, yet light and delicious, Mr. Meng is really lucky."

Hearing that Wan Si turned the topic to the cuisine, Kong Lingxin couldn't refute it directly, so it seemed deliberate.She had no choice but to say: "Didn't I remind you many times, don't call me Second Young Mistress again, it makes me look decades older."

Wan Si cast her eyes on Meng Zexiao, only to hear him say lightly: "You can call you whatever she tells you, there are not so many taboos here."

The implication is that there are none here, but there are in the old house of the Meng family.

After receiving Meng Zexiao's instruction, Wan Si stopped awkwardly and said, "Mr. Meng, you must have paid close attention to the domestic news when you are abroad these days. Ms. Kong's performance in handling this crisis is better than that of public relations. The manager was much better, turning things around in one fell swoop and establishing an image of a genial rich man."

How can Meng Zexiao not know all this, this sudden flight to Australia is to find out who caused the incident, he has read all the domestic news about Kong Lingxin through the Internet, and even clicked into the comment area to see what netizens think manner.

Meng Zexiao glanced at Kong Lingxin and said, "You did really well. Dad told us to go back to the old house for dinner tonight."

"Ah?" Kong Lingxin's scalp was numb!

Although Kong Lingxin had been preparing to face Meng Haoquan every day since the Kong family came to Meng Zexiao's seaside villa, but when this moment came suddenly, Kong Lingxin couldn't help but feel uneasy and fearful.

A businessman who has been in the business world for so many years must have a unique vision. Kong Lingxin was afraid that he would not be able to hide it from Meng Haoquan's eyes.
