Chapter 1 Applying for a Chef
A month later, Fukujo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu Xiao sat in a small teahouse, holding a teacup, and looked thoughtfully at the Tang Mansion opposite, which occupied the entire street of Fucheng.
Thinking of the environment she was in when she woke up, Gu Xiao couldn't help frowning, she remembered that she was chasing a gangster, but she didn't want to let that person escape around the corner, she wanted to notify her nearby companions to let them go to the front to surround this person, but she didn't want to, out of nowhere, a bullet shot right in her chest, after that, she lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she found that she had been thrown into the lake in a sack, but fortunately she was very good at water, and thanks to the fact that the mouth of the bag was not tightly tied, otherwise she would have been suffocated to death.
At that time, she was only concerned about escaping from the predicament, and the lake was dark, and she didn't care about the sudden long hair and the ancient clothes on her body, and when she came ashore, through the cold moonlight, she realized that something was wrong.
Later, a completely unfamiliar memory kept flashing in her mind, and she realized that she had caught up with the fashion, and she also crossed it, and also wore it on the body of a little maid.
Gu Xiao secretly wondered in her heart: MD, people are either princesses or princesses, how can they become maids when they come to her?
This little maid's name is Smoke Basket, she is a third-class little maid in the tea room of the second aunt of the Tang Mansion, she is introverted, she doesn't like to talk, she has always liked to be alone, but she didn't want to, and she accidentally learned the unknown secret of the second aunt.
The second aunt is suspicious by nature, scheming, ruthless, and always unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals, how can she let her handle be in the hands of others? Even the people on his own side are absolutely not good, so there is a matter of the cigarette basket being thrown into the water, which also gives Gu Xiao the opportunity to cross later.
Thinking of that so-called secret, Gu Xiao couldn't help frowning, it was absolutely impossible for her to go back to the Tang Mansion now, if she let the second aunt know that she was still alive, she might try to get rid of herself, but it was absolutely impossible for her to watch the second aunt's treacherous plan succeed!
She is not good at intrigue, but she still has a way to deal with some villains!
"Yo, is the girl leaving?"
Seeing her get up, the teahouse owner hurriedly greeted her with a smile, in the past month, this girl will come here every day to consume, although the consumption is not high, but it is also money, isn't it?
"Hmmm! I'll come back tomorrow. Gu Xiao grinned, handed over a few copperplates to the boss, turned around and walked out of the small teahouse in a dashing manner.
Touching the empty pocket, Gu Xiao's face collapsed instantly, the reason why he was able to survive this month was just to be the only ordinary bracelet on his body, no more, no less, just five taels of silver, this month, he was buying clothes, staying in a guest house, eating and drinking tea, and he was already penniless.
The end of the road, the end of the road!
For now, I need to find a job first.
Looking around, although there are not many restaurants around, there are at least a dozen, some large and some small, some luxurious and some simple, Gu Xiao walked around, and then stopped in front of a medium-sized restaurant called "Wangjiang Building".
I saw a large red paper pasted in front of the door, which read: Recruit a chef, about 30 years old, male, experience is preferred, and the monthly money is ten taels.
Looking at the above conditions, Gu Xiao couldn't help but scold her mother again, MD, it's just that the age is not enough, but the gender doesn't match, how can these people like to hire men, can't they be neither men nor women?
"Little girl, is there anything wrong with you?" At this time, an old man walked up to her.
Gu Xiao pondered for a long time, and then smiled: "Uncle, are you the shopkeeper here?" ”
The old man smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Exactly!" Then he wondered: "Look at the girl's appearance, could it be that there is a suitable person to introduce to the old man?" ”
"Uh... Hehe! Gu Xiao smiled a little embarrassed, where did she want to introduce someone to him? The person she wants to introduce the most is obviously herself!
"Uncle, I'm a chef, and although my age and gender don't match, my cooking skills are not bad! See if you can ...... Accommodating? ”
She is a criminal policeman, where is the chef, but she is a good cook, and she has also obtained a chef's certificate.
Who knew that after the old man heard it, he looked at her small arms, and was a little suspicious, "Isn't the little girl joking?" ”
Although there is no shortage of female chefs among many dignitaries and nobles, this is a restaurant after all, and the workload is heavy, this little girl ...... Will it work?
"Uncle, I'm serious!" Seeing that the old man didn't react much, Gu Xiao suddenly felt that there was a play, and hurriedly made persistent efforts: "Uncle, why don't you let me try it first, won't you know when you try it?" ”
Hey? How does that sound weird? What's so strange?
"That's it, there are a lot of people who have come recently, but none of them are suitable, if the little girl wants to try, try it!"
Looking at her appearance, if she didn't let her try, maybe she wouldn't give up, the old man thought, and if he lost a little something, he would compromise.
Gu Xiao followed the old man into the restaurant, at this time there were not many guests in the hall of the restaurant, one table in the east and one table in the west, adding up to less than ten people, there were too many empty tables, which seemed a little desolate.
"Alas! The old chef has resigned and returned to his hometown to retire, and now he hasn't come to find a chef to replace him, so he used Kobayashi to help the old chef before, but this person's cooking skills are average, and it is not suitable for people's tastes. ”
The old man sighed as he walked, he didn't know what was going on with him, he actually told a little girl about these things, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
As soon as the two entered the kitchen, the people who were busy stopped their movements and cast curious glances.
The old man took Gu Xiao and strode forward, and said loudly: "Xiaolin, you stop first, let this little girl try first." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be in an uproar, what does the shopkeeper mean by this?
Xiao Lin was also a little stunned, looking at Gu Xiao's soft and weak appearance, with doubt and disdain in his eyes.
Gu Xiao didn't care about their attitude, but smiled boldly: "Hello everyone! My name is Gu Xiao, and I'm here to apply for a chef. ”
"What? Cook? Make no mistake, right? ”
As soon as she said this, everyone was in an uproar, what are you doing? A teenage girl came to apply for a chef, what kind of joke? Look at that little arm and thin leg, can she afford to lift the cauldron?
Xiao Lin was the first to come back to his senses, and said in a somewhat impulsive tone: "Shopkeeper, even if I am not good at cooking, you don't need to bring a little girl to fool the guests, right?" What can she do as a woman? ”
When the old man and Gu Xiao heard this, they both frowned at the same time, Gu Xiao hated men who looked down on women the most in her life, these men, one by one, always felt that there was nothing in the world except for their men, as if women would not be anything, they were simply self-righteous and arrogant.
"Can I do anything, can you see what you can do?"
Gu Xiao stepped forward and pulled Xiao Lin away easily, Xiao Lin was caught off guard, staggered back a few steps before standing firmly, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart: Grandma, this woman, her strength is too great, right? Is this still a woman?
But when Gu Xiao saw the things in the pot, her brows tightened, and her face was full of disgust.
"What is this? Pig food? ”
"You...... Don't go too far! After hearing this, Xiao Lin's face suddenly turned blue and white.
"Eggplant is not cooked like this, and I lose my appetite when I look at it." Gu Xiao said, picked up the pot, directly poured out all the food inside, and put water to clean the pot, and then put it back.
I saw her walk aside, pick up a piece of pork and wash it, cut the pork into small pieces, and then chop it into a meat puree, and put it aside, and saw that she picked three eggplants casually, washed them, and then cut them into even pieces.
She took the chili, green onions, garlic and other ingredients, cut them, and set them aside.
Remove the remaining water droplets in the pot, then add oil, throw the eggplant into it and stir-fry, add some water, wait until the eggplant is almost cooked, then take a plate and serve it, put oil in the pot, and then throw the ingredients into it and stir-fry, then pour in the minced meat, stir-fry for a while, pour the eggplant into it, stir-fry again, add some soy milk, and then put in the seasoning, and after a while, a plate of fragrant minced meat and eggplant pot is baked.
"It smells so good!"
Some people couldn't help but make noise, and others swallowed saliva from time to time.
"It's good, but I don't know what it tastes like." Kobayashi blushed and said in an unkind tone.
The old man stepped forward with a smile, "Look at the girl's hand, the old man is also a little dazzled." ”
Gu Xiao's eyebrows crooked when she heard this, and she handed over the minced meat and eggplant in her hand, "Uncle, try it!" ”
The old man nodded with a smile, picked up the wooden chopsticks handed over by the man, picked up a piece of eggplant with minced meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
"How does it taste?" Gu Xiao was a little nervous in her heart, and she was a little afraid that the dishes she made would not meet the appetite of the old man.
After a long time, the old man did not speak, but put another piece in his mouth, and chewed it thoughtfully again.
Gu Xiao was a little speechless in her heart, what does this mean? Is it delicious? Still can't taste what it tastes like? Your old man has something to say!
Seeing this, Xiao Lin gloated a little, "It seems that he is just doing some superficial work." ”
The old man's next words made his smug smile freeze instantly.
"Hmmm! Yes, yes, this is the best eggplant the old man has ever tasted! ”
Gu Xiao was overjoyed and grinned: "So, I can stay?" ”
"This ......" The old man hesitated a little, who knows if this little girl will only know how to cook this dish?
Seeing the old man's thoughts, Gu Xiao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not only eat this dish." ”
The old man was poked in the center, and he was not embarrassed, but nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good!" Come over tomorrow. ”
"Not tomorrow, I can go to work now!" She has no money in her pocket, and she might be able to eat a meal here.
Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Xiao smiled embarrassedly again: "By the way, uncle, look, my accommodation problem ......"
When the old man heard this, he suddenly realized, "Ah! Don't worry, there are still two empty rooms in the backyard, I'll ask my mother-in-law to clean up for you in a while, and you can move in tomorrow. ”
After hearing this, Gu Xiao immediately frowned, "Then thank you, uncle!" ”
Now it's okay, the job has been found, and the accommodation is not worried, and the next thing you should think about is how to inform the old lady of the Tang Mansion what the second aunt has done.
