72. Chef selection
Hearing Jun Qianyu ask himself to participate in the cruise flower party as a chef, Ning Xi lowered his head, and after a while, he bit his lip and replied, "Okay." ”
"In two days, the Eldest Princess's Mansion will start to select the chef of the cruise flower club, and I have already signed up for you."
"Didn't you just arrange this? Why should I attend? "Ning Xi really can't get interested in going to any more competitions or anything like that.
Jun Qianyu's response to this was: "The eldest princess is not from our side. ”
"Okay, so what do you need me to do?"
"Cook well, pass the guò selection, just do your own thing when you get on the ship, and don't worry about other things."
"Yes!" Ning Xi replied sullenly.
Accustomed to Ning Xi's always radiant smiling face, her depressed attitude made him feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but add: "Don't think too much, if there is no accident, the matter of the Seven Jue Sect should be completely solved this time, and you can do whatever you want in the future, and you don't need to worry about anything." ”
"Well, thank you, Fifth Master." Ning Xi still hung her head and was respectful, but Jun Qianyu felt that it was not interesting at all, and she would rather she always offend him inadvertently like before, but I don't know if she can return to her original appearance in the future.
Meng Shuangshuang and An Mingyue came back from shopping, and came to Ning Xi with a big bag and a small bag: "Look at Ning Xi, we bought a lot of beautiful skirts, this set is for you, do you like it?" ”
Meng Shuangshuang took out a set of goose-yellow brocade skirts and showed them to Ning Xi: "The little girl just wants to wear some bright colors to look good, you see that you wear these gray clothes all day long, and you wear people old." "Ning Xi stays in the kitchen all day, smoky and smoky, so he usually wears some clothes with darker colors and narrow sleeves, like this skirt with two wide sleeves and a light gauze on his shoulders, and he really hasn't worn much.
Ning Xi's eyes also lit up, and she couldn't help but caress the smooth fabric and the delicate embroidery on the skirt: "It's so beautiful!" ”
Meng Shuangshuang said proudly: "It's not, as soon as I look at this skirt, I know that Ningxi must look good when you wear it." ”
An Mingyue said unconvinced: "What, obviously I fell in love with it first, at that time, the little girl of Li Shangshu's family was hesitant to hold the skirt, and it was too expensive to buy it, so I grabbed it." ”
"Hmph, where are people hesitating, they are already taking out their purses and taking silver, and they were robbed by you, don't you see that Miss Li is about to cry?"
"That girl is so short, and her waist is so thick, she is so ugly in this dress, I helped her and didn't let her make a fool of herself at the flower party!"
"As long as you are reasonable, I won't tell you, come to Ningxi, hurry up and try it on, let's see what kind of jewelry is suitable for you."
Ning Xi showed a disappointed look on his face, shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary, I can't wear it anyway." ”
"What's the matter? Didn't you promise to come with us to the flower cruise? Meng Shuangshuang said strangely.
"Fifth Master Fang Caijun came to me and asked me to go to the boat to cook in the name of a chef, how can I dress like this."
"What!" Meng Shuangshuang was so angry that he crossed his hands on his waist and said, "We are not his family's subordinates, why do you want us to go on the boat to serve people?" Obviously, people are going to the boat to eat, drink and have fun. ”
"That's it!" An Mingyue also said indignantly, "Let's ignore him, this man is too conscienceless, how many delicious foods have you made for him, and in the end he turned his face and didn't recognize people." ”
"It's okay, I think it's good to be a chef, Shuangshuang, you go with Mingyue, and when you see something interesting, come back and tell me." Ning Xi said with a smile.
"Ning Xi, don't laugh, if you laugh like this, I will feel flustered, you were obviously not such a person before, what happened recently!" Meng Shuangshuang said urgently.
"Nothing." Ning Xi didn't force a smile anymore, "It's just that I suddenly have a clearer understanding of my own positioning, our arms can't reach our thighs, since people want me to go, then I can only go, can I still say a word?" ”
"Then if you don't go, I won't go either, I'll follow you to cook."
"Silly girl, what are you angry with yourself, at your level, what kind of dishes do you make, it's almost the same as adding to the chaos, good boy, you two go, if I have time at that time, you can also quietly take me out to have a look!"
"Well, that's all it can be." Meng Shuangshuang sighed and said, "The day the cruise flower party started happened to be the day of your time, and I originally planned to dress you up beautifully, so let's celebrate happily." Otherwise, we'll help you bring your clothes and jewelry on the boat, and when you're done, you'll come out to us, and we'll find a place for your birthday. ”
An Mingyue continued: "This stupid girl spent all her private money in order to buy clothes for you!" ”
Ning Xi was moved and felt strange: "But how do you know when I will be in time?" "Even Ning Xi herself doesn't know, when she crossed over to this body, it would be good to have something to eat, who would remember her birthday, how old this body is, Ning Xi herself guessed according to her physical condition, but because she had been malnourished in the early stage, she didn't know if she could guess it or not.
Meng Shuangshuang looked at her strangely: "You sue me yourself!" ”
Ning Xi remembered that Meng Shuangshuang had asked her once, when she said a date randomly, and even forgot about herself, but she didn't expect the other party to remember it all the time, and even quietly prepared to celebrate her, Ning Xi hugged Meng Shuangshuang movingly: "Shuangshuang, you are so good to me." ”
"Alright!" Meng Shuangshuang pushed her away: "Don't give me this set, if you can cheer up, I will be Amitabha." ”
Jun Qianyu asked Ning Xi to prepare well for the chef selection of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but Ning Xi had a bad idea, she decided to perform worse when participating in the selection, and deliberately failed to be selected, so they had to spend more effort to get her on the boat.
Anyway, if they have any suspicions, she will not admit it, and no one will be able to produce evidence.
Thinking like this, Ning Xi felt a lot more relaxed, and also had the heart to study the dress when she participated in the flower party with Meng Shuangshuang and them.
On the day of the chef selection of the eldest princess's mansion, Meng Shuangshuang and An Mingyue had to go with Ning Xi, and Rong Daquan also wanted to take Wang Dongping to participate in the name of Shuangxi Building.
The group of five arrived at a courtyard of the eldest princess, where the chef selection was carried out in the past few days.
The cruise flower party needs a large number of chefs, in addition to the chefs of several well-known restaurants designated by the eldest princess, the remaining chefs are determined by the selection of guò, because it is not a competition, so the selection process is also very simple, as long as you are innocent and have excellent cooking skills, you can participate.
When each person enters the venue, he will be given a piece of paper and asked to fill it out clearly, which is probably his name, age, from the restaurant, personal and family situation, etc., as well as the type of cooking he is good at, the dishes he has signed up for, and so on.
After verifying the personal situation, the participating chef only needs to make the dish he signed up for, and after the vote of the ten-member jury, as long as the number of votes for the tong guò exceeds five votes, it will be considered a pass and can be boarded.
The selected chefs are paid at different levels every day according to their different culinary skills and the different scope of work they are responsible for on the ship, and in general, the remuneration is very generous, so the chefs who come to participate are overcrowded.
Ning Xi didn't know how to choose, so she deliberately reported a dish that couldn't be put on the table - fried sesame tofu, which was an ordinary dish on the table of ordinary people, and she believed that in such a tall place where the eldest princess's cruise flower would be so high, such a dish would definitely not be allowed to be served.
An Mingyue thought it was funny, and she also went to someone to ask for a registration form to fill in, in the column of cooking skills that she is good at, she filled in the carving of ingredients, and the dish she signed up for the election was radish flowers.
Before it was their turn to play, a few people stood in the lobby and waited, Miss An stood with sore legs, rubbing her legs and complaining: "What is the eldest princess's mansion, I don't understand any etiquette, why don't you take some stools out and let people sit for a while, what's the matter with letting people stand here and wait?" ”
Meng Shuangshuang said: "If you don't reveal your identity, who knows that you are Miss An, why don't you go and sit with those people?" As he spoke, he raised his chin and pointed to the side hall, where there were many tables and chairs.
The last time Ning Xi participated in the food conference of the Qi Palace, she had basically seen the shopkeepers of some big restaurants in the capital, and now she saw that the people in this side hall were more familiar, and I thought that they should bring their own chefs to participate in the election.
"yes, why can't we if they can sit?" An Mingyue walked over with them with a big grin, looked at it, and picked a table with fewer people: "Hey, you let us go, we have to sit." ”
The man who was driven out gave her a big roll of his eyes disdainfully: "This is the seat arranged for us by the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, who are you, why should we give it to you?" ”
An Mingyue was afraid that her mother would dislike her and embarrass the Anguo Mansion if she knew about it, so she couldn't help but not throw out her identity, but said: "We are from Shuangxi Building!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the man on the other side let out a contemptuous sneer: "What kind of thing is Sungai Tower!" ”
