Chapter 639: Coming to the Kitchen (1)
"If the food is a little more expensive, the concubine will go crazy! Therefore, the kitchen can only choose the cheapest ingredients to make it! Day by day, everyone couldn't stand it anymore, so they began to secretly cook by themselves to improve their lives! When I saw that the house was open and closed, I began to stop eating the food in the house! The housekeeper is also realistic, and he said without exaggeration.
"The prince hasn't asked?" Qin Shan felt incredible, this food, drink, housing and transportation were the most basic expenses, when the concubine was alive, she was so nonsense, could it be that the Ninth Prince just opened his eyes and closed his eyes?
"The prince doesn't ask about these trivial matters at all, the concubine is the prince's mother after all, and the old slave is embarrassed to talk too much!" The housekeeper said helplessly.
"Let's go to the kitchen!" Qin Shan's account book was pushed and said resolutely.
"Yes!" The housekeeper nodded, and hurriedly walked out of the account room with Qin Shan, walking in the direction of the kitchen.
At this moment, it was past the time to eat, and there was no one in the kitchen at all, but next door to the kitchen was the courtyard where the cooks lived, Qin Shan was standing at the door of the kitchen and waiting, and the housekeeper trotted to call the cooks to come over and listen to the training. After a while, there were seven chefs standing in front of Qin Shan, looking confused.
"Butler, our palace, just seven cooks? There's more than seven on the roster! Qin Shanxiu's eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes were shining as she stared at the housekeeper.
"Back to the princess, in the list of monthly salaries, there are a total of eighteen, seven cooks, and eleven helpers! These seven cooks were all personally invited by the prince, and they are all here! The remaining eleven helpers were assigned to other places by the old slave to do some rough work, after all, we don't need so many people in our kitchen every day! The housekeeper wiped the beads of sweat from his head and said numbly.
"You go and call all the remaining eleven helpers back now!" Qin Shan waved her hand and said with displeasure.
"Yes!" The housekeeper is also trembling at the moment, smearing oil on the soles of his feet, turning around and running!
"In the past few years, several masters have worked hard!" Qin Shan turned around and bowed to the seven cooks.
"The princess has tormented the little ones!" Before a few cooks could figure out what was going on, they saw Qin Shan saluting in their direction, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged and knelt on the ground.
"What are you doing! I also just learned that the kitchen of our Nine Kings Mansion is not equipped with helpers for you, and everything needs to be done by the masters! I'm sorry! ”
Qin Shan stretched out his hand to help the kneeling cook up, but the cook was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt behind and retreated, lest Qin Shan touch him, he would already be scared stupid!
Yes, in this society, the princess is already a high master, if she is touched by the princess, she doesn't want her head!
"What are you doing! Hurry up, open the kitchen door, and let's go in and talk! I'm tired after standing for so long! Qin Shan naturally knew what everyone was thinking, so he remembered that this was the Nine Kings' Mansion with strict rules, so he casually found an excuse and said.
"Yes!" Only then did everyone get up from the ground, and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen door, unlocked the door, and welcomed Qin Shan into the house.
"From tomorrow onwards, all the guests of our Jiuwang Mansion will have meals in the kitchen, three meals a day, and all the masters have worked hard!" Qin Shan said straightforwardly.
"Huh?!" The chefs were immediately stunned! Everyone in the palace, if they eat three meals a day in the kitchen, how can a few of them be busy!
"I asked the housekeeper to call all the former helpers, and if you need them to do it, you can tell me! If there are not enough people, I will ask the housekeeper to look for them! However, you have to make sure that the food is of good quality! Qin Shan immediately explained.
"Yes!" The chefs took the order, but they didn't look very happy!
Also, these cooks are accustomed to their idle days, and if they resume their busy work every day, they will naturally be unaccustomed and unhappy.
"The food doesn't need to be exquisite, as long as the ingredients are fresh, nutritious and delicious! It may be a little busy, but I hope each of you will put some effort into it! Although the salary of a few of us is not high, it is not low compared to other mansions! ”
"If anyone is dissatisfied with this matter, you can stand up now, and tomorrow I will settle your wages and send you away!"
"Everyone also knows that I am the second shopkeeper of Man Xinxuan Commercial Bank, although you were personally selected by the master, but if you leave, I will naturally let the chef sent by Man Xinxuan be more skilled than you! I believe that I can make you satisfied! ”
Qin Shan used both soft and hard, and even did not hesitate to use his identity as the second shopkeeper of Man Xinxuan to talk about things, just because he was worried that these people would disobey the yin and yang, and rely on the fact that he was the person of the Nine Princes, and he would not do things well.
"The princess is serious! Let's come to the Nine Kings Mansion, we are the cooks of the Nine Kings Mansion, and it is our duty to cook for the people in the Nine Kings Mansion! Where is there any dissatisfaction! One of the cooks said quickly.
"That's it! Look at what's in the kitchen, first list the menu on tomorrow's house, breakfast is a little simpler, porridge, cakes, side dishes! Make a list of compradors tomorrow morning, give it to the housekeeper, and let the housekeeper instruct someone to purchase! ……”
Qin Shan commanded neatly, and the cooks around him nodded again and again, this and back, you asked and I answered, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
The cooks memorized Qin Shan's advice over and over again, and while introducing everyone's specialties and specialties to Qin Shan, Qin Shan also listened carefully and meticulously.
"Back to the concubine, the helpers have called over!" The housekeeper bowed his head and came in and reported to Qin Shan.
"Let them in! You're not in charge! They are the people in the kitchen of our Nine Kings Mansion, what is it that you come into the kitchen and let people stand outside the door and wait?! Qin Shan glanced at the housekeeper and said unceremoniously!
"Yes!" The butler wiped the cold sweat from his head again and trotted out to call someone in.
"Get up! No need to be polite! How long have you been out of the kitchen? Qin Shan looked at the people who knelt on the ground again, and said helplessly.
"Thank you, Princess! It's been years since the minions left! It's been about seven or eight years! One of the older helpers said.
"Do you remember how to do this kitchen thing?" Qin Shan nodded and asked.
"The minions naturally remember! How could you forget! That's the profession of the minions! It's just because the kitchen doesn't need so many people that it will temporarily do other work! The minions dream of coming back every day! The old man said with tears in his eyes.
"That's good! Over the years, I have wronged you! From tonight onwards, whatever work you are doing right now, you will all be thrown away from me! Back in the kitchen! From tomorrow, the Nine Kings Mansion will no longer allow private stoves, and all the people from top to bottom will come here to eat! Qin Shan's voice was cold, but the hearts of the people who said it were hot.
