Chapter 107: A Good Alliance Matters
Zeng Zhu is holding a rice bowl, she has no appetite at all, since the third young master ordered her to be the acting manager, she has been highly nervous in the past few days, today the eldest lady sent someone to pass the word, thinking of the consequences of messing up the errand, she was almost unable to support it.
"Bai Ko, I can see that not only the third young master, but also the old lady value you very much, so you don't want to take this opportunity to let them take a good look at your value?"
"I was in charge, the maid is just a third-class cook, and she can't step on someone else's head, your difficulties and maid understand, but the maid must make the braised pork first, and the third young master said that it can't be greasy."
"Braised pork that can't be greasy?"
"Don't be fooled, Zeng is in charge, it's actually a very simple dish, just a few more accessories and a few cooking steps."
"Will you do it?" Zeng Zhu smiled bitterly with a bleak expression, "Look, although I am in charge and you are a third-class cook, the gap is already so obvious, fortunately, Wen Gushan was temporarily suspended, and I really don't want him to come back." ”
"Wen Gushan's behavior, haven't the old ladies always known about it?"
"How could they know? Wen Gushan is the head of the kitchen, and only he is qualified to speak directly with the masters, where would he specially ask us to go to the steward to listen to the instructions. ”
"I'm glad he's not in good health right now."
"That day, the two doctors diagnosed him as very bad, he had to quit smoking, and he had to take medicine to recuperate, and I don't know if his illness was cured, if he came back early, the kitchen would be his own world."
"Steward, are you too worried, I heard that rumors have spread among the slaves living in the back streets? Wen Gushan's wife can't wait to tear Mengmei? Do you think this rumor is not harmful to Wengu Mountain? ”
"If there is only Mengmei alone, there is really no harm to Wen Gushan, it is all pushed to Mengmei alone, the little girl takes the initiative to dedicate herself to the kitchen manager in order to have a place in the kitchen, and then Wen Gushan only needs to be innocent with a little self-blame and say that he just made a mistake that a man will make, and he will be fine."
Zeng Zhu is the second lady's companion, and the eldest young master born to the second lady is in his early twenties this year, so Zeng Zhu is an absolute old man in this east kitchen, and she dares to say this because she knows that the masters will definitely deal with it like this.
"Steward Zeng, you just said, 'If there is only Mengmei alone'? Could it be that there are really other people? ”
"Wen Gushan is a very good and strong man, in any sense." Zeng Zhu was worried that Bai Qiao was a little girl who was not in time, so it was difficult to say it too bluntly.
"Then use this ready-made opportunity to kill him and let him not come back."
"How is this possible!? If it is really exposed, there is no Ning Ri in the east kitchen, and the eldest lady's face will be disgraced, isn't this pointing at her nose and scolding her for not being strict and incompetent? If the eldest lady gets angry and removes all the people in the kitchen, won't everyone be unlucky? ”
Bai Ko shook her head helplessly, "Mengmei seems to be unsaved, and she must be given up to protect everyone." ”
"Do you really want to save her? She also said loudly yesterday that you also have a private meeting with a man behind your back. ”
"Actually, there is no life-and-death hatred between me and her, how did I get to this point today, I haven't figured it out."
Bai Ko lowered her head and took another big bite of rice, it seemed that she was full of sincerity, and only she knew what was going on.
If Mengmei behaves properly, it is really difficult to hit her, but she herself did something wrong first and was caught, then of course she must make good use of this God-given opportunity, strike first, and trample her, the most threatening potential opponent, into the mud.
Who doesn't want to go to Wenling Academy to be a chef, Mengmei is just unlucky to find the wrong opponent.
As for the other chefs, everyone is eligible to participate in the competition of chefs according to gender, but Wen Gushan detained them for three years on the grounds of filial piety, and even Zeng Zhu was detained for his skills, not to mention those chefs who were not good at learning.
Bai Ko knows very well that in this east kitchen, there is no capable person who can replace himself now, unless the eldest lady invites a celebrity chef from outside, that is the new threat.
"Bai Ko, don't talk about Mengmei first, okay? She wasn't the focus of our conversation. ”
"Steward Zeng, you should help pray that my braised pork can pass the test."
"What about after you pass the level?"
"After passing the customs, there are all chicken and whole duck tastings waiting for the maid."
"So, counting your poached tofu, these four main dishes may all be in your hands?!"
"I don't know, every qiē is still variable, but if these four main dishes are all in charge of the maid, the maid will have the right to speak about the menu."
"What's your plan? You must have a plan to say that! Zeng Zhu didn't eat a mouthful of rice, the full rice bowl was in his hand, and he didn't know if he was tired, so he trembled slightly.
"The maid's plan is that if you want to be the deputy in charge of the affairs and be in charge of all the charges, you only need to do a good job of acting as the general manager, control the whole scene, and dispatch the manpower, without having to go to the stove in person."
Zeng Zhu took a deep breath, he couldn't imagine that Bai Ko's plot was so big.
"You want to make a filial piety banquet chef?!"
"Steward Zeng should know that the male and female guests eat separately, right?"
"Naturally, the old rules in the house have always been like this, so there are cooks and cooks in the east kitchen, just to facilitate the use of people when the house holds banquets."
"Because the men's seats have always been placed on the school grounds, it is too far to get food from the east kitchen, so the male chefs have to go to the west kitchen to cook food." Bai Ko smiled and lowered his head to pick up the rice.
"Yes, so when the time comes, only a dozen of us cooks will cook for the women's table, and I am worried about the problem of insufficient manpower."
"I was in charge, I believe in the maid, the manpower is enough, the third young master promised to borrow the six girls from Wenling Academy to be the fire girl, they are the maid has been training and training, obey the maid's command and command."
"There are six fire girls?" Zeng Zhu's face finally showed a smile, "There should be room for manpower scheduling." ”
"So, let the servant be the chef then?"
"What about Lu Meihua? She's also in charge, and she'll be my deputy when the time comes. ”
"Steward Zeng, you are tired and confused, there are two red and white kitchens in the east kitchen, why do you want Steward Lu to fight with the servant? It's right for you to be the same as her, but wouldn't it be nice for her to go to the white kitchen to be in charge of the dim sum? ”
"Lu Meihua doesn't like others to make decisions for her, she listened to Wen Gushan just because Wen Gushan is the kitchen manager, she is not convinced at all, I am now the acting manager, let her be in charge of the white case, she will definitely jump to curse, she has to rob the red case."
"So, the chariot said again, Zeng is in charge, you must pray that the servant will succeed in taking the four main dishes, and then it will be an order from the masters, so she can't help but agree."
The smile on Zeng Zhu's face grew, "Okay, that's it, I'll pray for you day and night." ”
