delicious little cook

Chapter 101 A Good Alliance Is Important
Zeng Zhu was holding her job and had no appetite at all. Ever since the third young master appointed her to be the acting manager, she has been very nervous these days. Can't stand it.

"Bai Kou, I can tell that not only the third young master, but also the master and wife value you very much. You don't want to take this opportunity to let them take a good look at your value?"

"I was in charge, but my servant is only a third-class cook, and I can't step on other people's heads. I understand your difficulties, but I have to cook the braised pork first. The third young master said it can't be greasy."

"Can't be greasy braised pork?"

"Don't be fooled, Zeng Guanshi is actually a very simple dish, just a few more ingredients and a few cooking steps."

"You know how to do it?" Zeng Zhu smiled bitterly, "Look, although I am in charge and you are a third-class cook, the gap is already so obvious. Fortunately, Wen Gushan has been temporarily suspended. I really don't want him to come back."

"Have the masters and wives been ignorant of this behavior of Wen Gushan?"

"How could they know about it? Wen Gushan is the chief kitchen manager. He is the only one who has the right to speak directly with the masters. Why would he specially ask our manager to come and listen to the instructions?"

"I'm just glad he's not feeling well right now."

"The two doctors diagnosed him that day as a very bad health. He had to quit smoking and take medicine to recuperate from his illness. I don't know if his illness will be cured well. If he came back early, he would be in the kitchen again. "

"Officer Zeng, you are too worried. I heard rumors have spread among the servants living in the back street? Wen Gushan's wife wants to tear Mengmei apart? Do you think this rumor will not hurt Wen Gushan?"

"If there is only Mengmei alone, there is really no harm to Wen Gushan, and it will all be blamed on Mengmei alone. The little girl volunteered to the kitchen manager in order to have a place in the kitchen. At that time, Wen Gushan will only need to be innocent. A little bit of self-blaming and saying he just made the same mistakes men make, and he'll be fine."

Zeng Zhu is the dowry of the second wife, and the eldest son of the second wife is already in his early twenties this year, so Zeng Zhu is an absolute old man in this east kitchen. She dares to say that because she knows that the masters will definitely deal with it like this.

"Director Zeng, you just said 'Only Mengmei said'? Could it be that there are really others?"

"Wen Gushan is a very good and strong man, in every sense." Zeng Zhu was concerned that Bai Kou was a little girl who hadn't reached the level of a girl, so she couldn't speak too bluntly.

"Then just use this ready opportunity to kill him, and let him never come back."

"How is this possible!? If it is really revealed, there will be no Ning Ri in the East Kitchen, and the Da Furen's face will be shamed. Isn't this pointing at her nose and scolding her for being lax and incompetent? If Da Fu Madam became furious and replaced everyone in the kitchen, wouldn't that be bad luck for everyone."

Bai Kou shook her head helplessly, "Mengmei seems to be hopelessly hopeless, she must be sacrificed to protect everyone."

"You really want to save her? She told people loudly yesterday that you also meet men secretly."

"Actually, there is no deep hatred between me and her. I have never thought about how it got to where it is today."

Bai Kou lowered her head and took another big mouthful of rice. It seemed that what she said was full of sincerity, and only she knew what was going on.

If Mengmei's behavior is correct, it's really not easy to hit her, but if she did something wrong first and was caught, then of course, she should make good use of this opportunity bestowed by the gods, and act first to kill her, the most threatening person. Potential opponents are trampled in the mud.

Who wouldn't want to be a chef at Wenling Courtyard? Mengmei was just unlucky and found the wrong opponent.

As for the other cooks, everyone is eligible to participate in the competition for professional chefs according to their gender, but Wen Gushan detained them for three years for the sake of filial piety, and even Zeng Zhu was detained for losing their skills, not to mention Those cooks who are not good at learning.

Bai Kou knew very well that in this East Kitchen, there was no capable person who could replace him now, unless the Da Furen hired a famous chef from outside, that would be the new threat.

"Bai Kou, let's not talk about Mengmei, okay? She is not the focus of our conversation."

"Master Zeng, you should help pray that my braised pork can pass the test."

"What about after customs clearance?"

"After passing the customs, there are whole chicken and duck dishes waiting for the maid."

"So, including your pouched tofu dish, you may be in charge of all four main dishes?!"

"I don't know, everything is still variable, but if the four main courses are served by the servant girl, then the servant girl will have the right to speak about the menu."

"What's your plan? You must have a plan to dare to say that!" Zeng Zhu didn't even eat a mouthful of rice, holding the full rice bowl in her hand, she didn't know if she was tired from carrying it, but she was trembling slightly.

"The maidservant's plan is to be the deputy of the former steward and be responsible for all the cooking. In stewardship, you only need to do the work of acting as the chief steward, control the whole audience, and dispatch the staff, without having to do the cooking yourself."

Zeng Zhu took a deep breath, never expecting that Bai Kou's plan was so big.

"You want to be the chef of Xiaoyan?!"

"Boss Zeng should know that male and female guests dine separately, right?"

"Naturally, the old rules in the mansion have always been the same, so there are cooks and cooks in the East Kitchen, just for the convenience of employing people when the mansion hosts banquets."

"Because the men's table has always been placed in the school grounds, it's too far to get food from the east kitchen, so the male chefs have to go to the west kitchen to cook." Bai Kou smiled and lowered his head to cook the rice.

"Yes, so when the time comes, there will only be a dozen of us cooks cooking for the female guests. I am worried about whether there will be enough staff."

"I have been in charge, and I believe that the maidservant has enough manpower. The third young master agreed to borrow the six maids from Wenlingyuan to be the fire-burning maidens. They are trained and trained by the maidservant all the time, and they obey the maidservant's command and password."

"There are six burning girls?" Zeng Zhu finally showed a smile on her face, "There should be room for manpower scheduling."

"So, let the servant girl be the chef at that time?"

"What about Lu Meihua? She is also in charge, and she will be my deputy at that time."

"Officer Zeng, you are tired and confused. There are two kitchens in the east kitchen, the red and the white. Why did you let Steward Lu fight with the servant girl? You and her should be the same, but she is in charge of the snacks in the white case kitchen. alright?"

"Lu Meihua doesn't like others to make decisions for her. She only listens to Wen Gushan because Wen Gushan is the manager of the kitchen. She is not convinced at all that I am the acting manager now. Let her be in charge of the white case. She will definitely jump up and curse. It’s impossible to grab a red case.”

"So, Che Gulu has said it again, Zeng is in charge, you must pray that the servant girl will successfully take the spoons of the four main dishes. At that time, it will be an order from the masters, so she can't help but refuse."

The smile on Zeng Zhu's face grew stronger, "Okay, that's it, I'll pray for you day and night."
