Chapter 141: Back Kitchen
Princess Celestia smiled, "It's okay. ”
Nangong Chen saluted the eldest princess and Chen Yuma, and only through the introduction of Ye Xiaoyan did they know that this was the eldest princess's husband and Chen Guang, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
Ye Xiaoyan said: "I finally met my eldest brother-in-law today. ”
Everyone shook their heads, and then they all laughed. Indeed, Chen Juma is their eldest brother-in-law, but the royal family generally doesn't call him that, and they all call him Chen Juma. However, listening to Ye Xiaoyan, it seems to be closer to call her "eldest brother-in-law".
Chen Guang smiled generously at Ye Xiaoyan. In the past two days, he heard the eldest princess talk about this princess Xuan, saying that she doesn't look at her young age, but she acts very steadily, and she is still very interesting. In the past few days, Chen Yuma has been unwell and recuperated at home, and today he is in better health, so he accompanied the eldest princess out.
At this time, Nangong Ling said to Chen Yuma: "Brother-in-law, is there a Langzhong surnamed Sun in your Ministry of Industry?" He who is in charge of the acres of land. ”
Chen Juma replied: "Yes, Sun Siqian, there is such a person. What's wrong? ”
Nangong Ling said: "He has a son named Sun Wenbin, who suddenly broke in just now and wanted to get to know us. ”
Chen Juma thought about it for a while, Sun Siqian's son seemed to be called Sun Wenbin, he had met him once or twice, and he felt that the person was very good at flattery, and he didn't like this kind of person very much, so he didn't have much to do with it.
Chen Juma asked, "Does the second princess want to teach him a lesson?" ”
"No," Nangong Ling waved her hand, "I'm just asking." ”
Duan Haoqi felt that the people in the private room were all royal people at this time, and it was not appropriate for her to sit here, so she said to Ye Xiaoyan: "Princess Xuan, I'll go out to see how it's outside." ”
Ye Xiaoyan also felt her embarrassment, so she said, "You go." ”
Nangong Ling also stood up and said, "I'll go too." ”
Princess Celestia quipped, "As soon as we come, you're going out?" ”
Nangong Ling said: "I'll go out and have a look." The eldest brother and the second emperor brother are here, so I can inform you. ”
So, Duan Haoqi and Nangong Ling came out of the private room.
The eldest princess asked Ye Xiaoyan, "Who was that girl just now?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan pointed at Xiao Yuhan and said, "It's Xiao Shizi's cousin, Duan Haoqi." It was her brother Duan Haoran, who partnered with me to open a restaurant. The house and yard of this restaurant belong to her brother. ”
"Oh!" Princess Celestia nodded slightly. She knew that the third emperor's brother had exhausted his family wealth for the Pingbei chaos, and now the Xuanwang Mansion was probably poor and white, yesterday Ye Xiaoyan said that she would open a restaurant, and she also wondered, where did the Xuanwang Mansion get the industry to open a restaurant, it turned out that this industry was Duan Haoran's. A restaurant like this, there are hundreds of thousands of people who can't open it, and I don't know how many of them are in the Xuanwang Mansion. Of course, the eldest princess was just thinking about it casually, and it was inconvenient to ask about this kind of thing, so she didn't talk about it, but chatted with Ye Xiaoyan about other topics.
Nangong Ling and Duan Haoqi walked out of the private room, and Nangong Ling asked Duan Haoqi: "Why didn't you call Ye Xiaoyan sister-in-law just now?" ”
Duan Haoqi blinked and said, "Because there is the eldest princess and the concubine." ”
Nangong Ling asked: "Then why am I here, you call you sister-in-law?" ”
Duan Haoqi's bright eyes looked at Nangong Ling and said, "Because you came with Brother Chen!" ”
Nangong Ling didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”
Duan Haoqi couldn't say it. She just felt naughty in front of the second princess, nothing. But in front of the eldest princess and the concubine, she didn't dare to be so casual.
Actually, this reason is also very simple, because Nangong Ling is the same age as her, and she is two years older than her. And the eldest princess and Chen Juma are much older than them. This is the difference between a child and an adult.
Duan Haoqi thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he said, "Because I think you are very kind." ”
Nangong Ling looked at the girl in front of her and felt like an underage little girl. She stretched out her hand to take Duan Haoqi and said, "Let's go, you take me around the restaurant to have a look." I heard from the Fourth Emperor Brother that the dishes in Baiweilou are different from those in other places, so you can take me to see how they make them. ”
In fact, Nangong Ling was a little hungry, but she was embarrassed to say. Duan Haoqi came out just to retreat, and he didn't have a purpose to go anywhere, so he took Nangong Ling to the back kitchen.
In the back kitchen, it was almost ready, just waiting to listen to the previous orders. Duan Haoqi took Nangong Ling into the kitchen. Nangong Ling saw that the kitchen was clean and tidy, similar to the imperial dining room in the palace, she glanced around, wanting to see if there was anything ready to eat, but after scanning around, she didn't find anything ready to eat. So he asked Duan Haoqi: "Is there nothing to eat here?" ”
Duan Haoqi blinked in confusion and said, "These are all edible!" ”
Nangong Ling said: "I mean, you can eat it now." ”
"Nope." Duan Haoqi told her very bluntly.
Nangong Ling frowned. What's going on in this kitchen, there is no ready-made food available, what is this kitchen called?
She forgot one thing: this is the kitchen of the restaurant, what the guests order and do. Instead of the imperial dining room in the palace, what does the imperial dining room do, what do those people eat.
Duan Haoqi asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
"Hmm." Nangong Ling nodded.
"What do you want to eat?" Duan Haoqi asked.
"Whatever, just take a cushion for the time being." Nangong Ling didn't want to eat enough now, she had to go back to the private room to eat with the royal brothers.
Duan Haoqi thought for a while and said, "The pepper cake is delicious, and the scallion cake and sesame cake are also delicious. ”
Duan Haoqi had never eaten these Nangong Ling, and he didn't know which one to eat, so he said, "You ask them to make one for me." ”
"Okay."
Duan Haoqi shouted to Qing Fan: "Qing Fan, the second prince mainly eats pepper cakes, scallion cakes, and sesame cakes, you hurry up and make one!" ”
Usually Duan Haoqi often goes in and out of the kitchen, at first everyone would stop their work and salute her when they saw her, and later Duan Haoqi said that everyone should not care about her and just do their own thing. So Duan Haoqi went in and out, and everyone didn't care about her. At this time, they suddenly heard the words "second princess", and everyone was startled and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Meet Her Highness the Princess!"
"Get up." Nangong Ling is also welcome.
Qing Fan got up and said to Nangong Ling: "Slave maid, do it right away." ”
Nangong Ling didn't say anything, and Qing Fan hurried to the pancakes.
Before meeting Nangong Ling, she noticed the self-proclaimed waiters in the restaurant, they all called themselves "I", and no one called themselves slaves, so she asked Duan Haoqi: "I saw those guys in the restaurant, they all called themselves 'me', why is this cook different from them?" ”
Duan Haoqi said: "Qingfan is not a guy in a restaurant, she is a maid of sister-in-law. ”
Nangong Ling was puzzled: "Then how did she become the chef of the restaurant?" ”
Duan Haoqi said: "Qingfan is very good at making pancakes, and she has a commission for how much the pepper cakes, scallion cakes, and sesame cakes she invented are sold in the restaurant. ”
Nangong Ling didn't understand and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
So Duan Haoqi told Nangong Ling about Ye Xiaoyan's system of encouraging cooks to invent new dishes and selling new dishes to the chefs themselves.
After hearing this, Nangong Ling felt incredible, and said: "The chef is a person from the restaurant, and they should do things for the restaurant, didn't Ye Xiaoyan give them monthly money?" ”。
Duan Haoqi said: "Of course there is monthly money, and the monthly money is not low." The chef of Guangju Building is only twenty taels of silver a month, and the chef of our restaurant is thirty taels! A chef like Mama Tai is forty taels a month. If they invent a new dish on their own, plus a commission, then the income! It's better than opening your own snack shop. ”
