The cook is very busy

Chapter 65

It is said that Mrs. Qi's sympathy for servants made Mr. Qi catch the conversation, and took the opportunity to tease Mu Guanxiong a few words.

When Ziqing heard this, he secretly glanced at Mu Guanxiong's face, and saw that his entire face had turned dark, and secretly groaned inwardly.

As soon as she was pouring wine at the banquet, she noticed that the two old men would not stop eating, they were just secretly competing to compare their wealth, which is a common problem of business people.

Besides, businessmen are not good at those poems and words, and they can't really show their wealth to others. Since they can't come to the text, they can only come to other things.

Compared with those pavilions, pavilions, gardens and water pavilions, compared with those who eat and drink, cook skills, and the servant girls who work under their hands.

But if the two families want to be frightened, they have to go, why bother her and Dongcui, it's all right now, even the old lady's place is cold.

Dong Cui grew alert now, thinking that she had said the wrong thing, blushed and flustered, her calves were trembling again, and the hand holding Ziqing was trembling.

Old Madam Qi has sharp eyes, watching what happened, she smiled and walked a few steps closer, and looked them up and down, "Hey, look at these two girls... they look quite fresh, no wonder Old Madam Mu wanted to call You two are here to serve."

Ziqing frowned slightly at this kind-faced Mrs. Qi, what she said was ambiguous, it sounded like she was praising her, but in fact she was burying those people in the front yard.

We all know that the girl who can serve in the front yard is definitely not bad. The two of them have been busy working in the back kitchen.

Mu Guanxiong and his wife must have understood the meaning. They were smiling, but they didn't even agree. In the eyes of others, it became a different meaning, and the atmosphere that had been relaxed during the dinner cooled down again.

Ziqing thought about turning around, Fu Dongcui stood up, took the opportunity to pinch her, saw her looking back because of the pain, hurriedly whispered a few words to her, told her not to talk for a while, and followed what she did. Just do it.

Before Dong Cui understood it, she saw Ziqing folded her hands in front of her body, bent her knees and blessed her lower body, she watched and hurriedly followed suit, fortunately, she often went to the front yard to pass meals earlier, and she knew how to salute and so on. Do.

After paying his respects, Ziqing stood up, clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, looked at Mrs. Qi, and pretended to be calm and smiled.

"Thank you for the compliment from the old lady. The little one is the kitchen helper in the backyard. The old lady in our house was worried that the fresh fish on the banquet would not suit the old man's appetite, so she asked a dozen maids to go to the back kitchen to serve us and take care of the old man. What else do you want to eat, so we can go back to the back kitchen and cook some fresh dishes."

After listening to her, Madam Mu's heart became brighter. She didn't want this girl to think of a good reason at the end. Seeing Madam Qi stunned for a while but couldn't refute, she was a little proud up.

Old Madam Qi was curious, for such an inconspicuous girl, she just said one or two sentences, so short that no one could find a fault, but she felt that there was some truth in it.

At this moment, the servants cleaned up the leftovers and broken porcelain around them, helped the seats and retreated one after another, and the grandma II/grandma and the others persuaded the chopsticks at the table of the women's relatives.

The actors listened to the shouts, and re-entered the stage to sing, but they just changed the scene again, and they gradually took shape during the banquet.

Mu Guanxiong heaved a sigh of relief, and forced a smile, "Brother Qi, please, you and I will have another drink, or our side will be deserted."

Master Qi only spoke slowly, staring at Ziqing, "You girl just said that you are a cook, but I can hear your accent, but you are from a foreign country?"

Ziqing was respectful, smiling all over his face, "Master Qi, the younger one is from Hezhen."

However, Ziqing answered truthfully, but in return Master Qi sneered, "No wonder, the old man's voice made me very uncomfortable, that's right, a country girl can't even speak completely, how can she know how to cook, she can't do anything." It’s just some mountain vegetables, serving at the table, it’s inevitable..."

At this point, Master Qi didn't say any more, he just held his beard, looked at Mu Guanxiong, and smiled meaningfully.

Seeing this, Ziqing tugged Dongcui behind his back, and asked her to come forward and salute, "Master Qi said that the younger ones live in the countryside, and have never seen anything in the world. If you think about it, the master will not be as knowledgeable as us. of."

"It's just a small one. The small one is a helper in the kitchen. Those abalones and fish maws in the stove have never been seen in the village, let alone burnt out. But the small one lives by the river. Those The small ones are quite good at river seafood, as Mr. Qi said at the banquet, as long as the live fish is steamed in a pan, it will be so delicious. This river prawn... er, this river prawn... "

Ziqing babbled a lot, and made those in front of him dizzy. How could Mr. Qi remember what he said during the dinner? She cooked two fish dishes and came out to have a look.

But when she said just now that she grew up by the river, he was a bit discouraged when she heard that he was good at river seafood, and the most delicious way to eat live fish is to steam it, and what this girl said was correct.

But in the end, he heard that the girl faltered when talking about live shrimp, she must be not very good at this fresh shrimp, so how could he let it go!
Master Qi's eyes flashed brightly, "You girl, why are you hesitating when you talk, what's wrong with this river prawn!"

Ziqing was startled by this soft growl, a little flustered and at a loss what to do, he just lowered his head even lower, "Hui, Hui Master Qi, that, that river prawns are naturally delicious."

Seeing his reaction like this, Master Qi was more convinced of his own thoughts, he smiled and said, "In this case, then you girl will serve you two plates of fresh shrimps, which are good at cooking. It took a long time to make a fuss, and those steamed shrimps on the table The fish must have been too cold, and I'm afraid it smells fishy, ​​so it's time to serve two warm dishes with wine."

What!Let her fry again?Ziqing raised her head abruptly, Dongcui was also anxious, and pulled her sleeves straight behind, wanting to ask her what to do, or kneel down and admit her mistake.

Master Qi said with a cold snort, looked at Mu Guanxiong and Mrs. Mu, and pretended to be joking, "Brother Mu, can I ask you for some wine and food?"

Mother, you have already said that, so can Master Mu not nod, the guest came to eat, he was not full and asked for two more dishes, and the host didn't nod, it would be too ugly to spread the word.

Ziqing glanced at that old man Qi with disdain, saying that country women are good at messing around, and if this rich man is playing tricks, he will do it in the same way!

Mu Guanxiong frowned, and then laughed out loud, "Look at what brother Qi said, don't you just ask the back kitchen to serve two fresh dishes, as for that, let's serve the noodles and let this girl go to the back kitchen to fry it." gone."

Mrs. Qi immediately said, "Hey, I can't ask this girl to go down. My master asked her to cook, just to see if she has real skills. If she goes down, the food will be served in a while. How do we know if the food is good?" This girl burned it."

Master Qi turned his head and smiled knowingly, "Oh, Madam understands me."

These two are not ashamed!Mrs. Mu spat in her heart. Although her teeth were itching with hatred, she still smiled, "Oh? What does Mrs. Yi Qi mean?"
