delicious little cook

Chapter 6 finally improved
"Mother Pang, this snack?"

"Nuts are fragrant, and children love to eat them, so you are trying to do a good job by covering the cakes with nuts. However, the two young ladies are less than three years old, and children of this age can only eat crushed nuts, because Whole nuts are very easy to choke or choke them. If you are fined for another month of money and food, do you want to call for injustice?"

"No injustice, no injustice." Wen Gushan and the stewards were powerless to make any more excuses, bowed their heads and accepted the punishment.

"Wen Gushan, as the head of the kitchen, is careless and has neglected his duty of supervision. I will fine you a month's money and food. Do you accept it?"

"Clothes."

"That's good. Be more careful in the future. Don't rely on the old to show off the old. You always use some old experience to fool people. The kitchen manager and steward are not positions where you can rest easy. The patience of the masters is limited. Don't do stupid things that you will regret. "

The bodies of Wen Gushan and the stewards shook suddenly, and they didn't even dare to say it.

After the deterrence was over, Mama Pang walked away proudly.

Wen Gushan straightened up, and his cannibalistic gaze swept across the faces of the four stewards. Bai Kou hurriedly pulled Lu Doudou out of the corner door, and went to rest in the aisle.

The two of them just came out without saying a word, and several boys and girls followed, patting their chests with frightened expressions.

"It's too scary. It's the first time I've seen Director Wen like that!" A fat man named Ma Weiwu from another school stuck out his tongue. He was the biggest among the apprentices, and he was also quite strong.

Bai Kou and the others nodded unanimously. Wen Gushan has always been a smiling Maitreya Buddha, but he has never seen him so mad today.

"But it's no wonder. The stewards are careless, and he, the chief steward, must be implicated. It is true that he neglected his duties in supervision and did not punish him." Shi Ping, a young man from the same workshop as Bai Kou, said flatly.

"But one deduction is one month's money and food, and the stewards even withheld it for two months." Wan Qiu shrank her shoulders, with an expression of not knowing what to say.

"It's a good thing that I'm entertaining my young lady and grandchildren today. If such a problem occurs at the banquet, how embarrassing will the lord and the lady be? Everyone's heart will be eaten alive." Bai Kou added secretly .

The apprentices nodded unanimously again, "That's right!"

A handyman suddenly appeared at the corner door, and beckoned the apprentices to come in and do their work.

"Boss Wen took the stewards elsewhere, come to work quickly, don't provoke them to be scolded by the stewards again."

Everyone quickly silenced and went to the well to wash vegetables. No one dared to talk about what happened just now.

A little later, Wen Gushan brought the four dejected stewards back to the kitchen to cook, and the stewards vented their anger on the cook and the cook below, almost smashing the plate and smashing the bowl, for no reason It made everyone feel uncomfortable.

The cooks and cooks were scolded by the stewards, and they vented their anger on the apprentices and handymen when they came out. No one dared to retaliate, so they had to bow their heads and let them scold them.

This terrible atmosphere lasted until the end of the supper time. The apprentices were picked on their bones and were punished not to eat dinner. They all worked hungry and stood in the yard when there was no work to do. They couldn't walk away and couldn't drink. water.

After the supper, the apprentice and the handyman cleaned the kitchen together, and finally they were able to drag their sore legs back to the squatter to rest.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to relieve himself, Lu Doudou finally had time to be alone with Bai Kou.

"Bai Kou, tell me, is today's event a success or a failure?" Lu Doudou asked next to Bai Kou's ear with a slight breath.

"I don't know." Bai Kou said honestly, "But that mother Pang used my exact words, so the little brother from yesterday must have warned her in advance."

"That should count as a success, right?"

"But it's all the fault of the manager and the stewards. I reported so many nut snacks yesterday, but I didn't make any of them."

"Then... still a failure?" Lu Doudou's nose soured and she wanted to cry, "I really don't want to compete in basic skills anymore."

"Let's wait and see tomorrow. Whether there are new opportunities, we will know in a few days."

The two of them came out of the hut, finished grooming hastily, climbed onto the bunk, rolled up the thin quilt tightly, and fell into a deep sleep after lying down for a while.

Before dawn the next day, everyone got up one after another to prepare for breakfast, and then the official cooks and cooks came to wash their hands and do their work. After more than half an hour, the maids from all houses and courtyards came to get breakfast on time.

After the first wave of work, the sky was bright and the sun was rising.

The warehouse delivered today’s ingredients, and Wen Gushan was in charge of ordering them, arranging various dishes for lunch, and then picking out the ingredients needed. The apprentices and handymen hurriedly swallowed a few steamed buns, and carried baskets of ingredients to the well Division of labor to clean up.

It was busy, and Mama Pang came again, and everyone in the kitchen lined up according to their ranks to listen to Mama Pang's lecture.

"Fortunately, it was my family's family banquet yesterday, and the embarrassment was also lost at home, but the eldest lady was very unhappy about it. Thinking of the big banquet that will be held at home in the near future, she is worried about the current level of the kitchen."

Mama Pang swept her gaze, and the chief manager and stewards standing at the front all lowered their heads, beating their hearts desperately.

"Considering that the mansion has kept filial piety for three years and has never held any banquets, the kitchen may not be so familiar with the current fashionable dishes. Since the mansion has bought some new apprentices, how about this last assessment, which is to test the chefs of the apprentices? Art, bring some new market dishes to open everyone's eyes."

Wen Gushan and the stewards looked up again in astonishment, the first to third class cooks and cooks were whispering, and the apprentices standing at the end were already extremely excited.

"Mother Pang, has the eldest lady specified what dishes the apprentices should cook?"

"Boss Wen, what's your suggestion? Do you specify the dishes or let them play freely?"

"It's all right, it's all right, it's all up to the eldest lady."

"No hurry, let the apprentices go to the stove to practice first. I heard that they haven't touched the side of the stove for two months after buying it? What do you do as a manager? Are you afraid that newcomers will take your place?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Wen Gushan's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Pang's mother dropped a reproachful look, turned around and left.

Wen Gushan wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that his position as the chief manager was shaking a little, and he looked badly at the four managers under him again.

If he is dismissed, the four stewards are most likely to succeed him.

The four of Huang Dahai and the others were stared at by Wen Gushan for no reason, but they were not as scared as they were yesterday. Instead, they sneered in their hearts, a little gloating, wishing that he would make another mistake and be caught in advance, so he wouldn't have to wait until next year's promotion competition up.

After Pang's mother left, everyone continued to work. There were many people in the kitchen courtyard. Lu Doudou and Bai Kou sat together washing vegetables, exchanging eyes that only they could understand, and then turned their heads to discuss the new assessment with everyone. way, guess whether to specify the dish or play it free.

There are quite a few people who tend to specify the dishes, take the test questions, and have a month to practice to become proficient.

Of course, Bai Kou hopes that it is best to play freely. Mama Pang just said very clearly that the mansion has kept mourning for three years and temporarily retired from the social circle. For the cooks in Beppu, the mansion desperately needs new dishes for the upcoming banquets.

This is the opportunity for apprentices.
