Chapter 109: Commencement
The cooks in the kitchen are yawning and washing their faces due to the lack of sleep caused by the duel, and the cooks' residences are next to the kitchen, which is much closer than Huamian.
Seeing Hua Mian walk into the kitchen, the cooks did not show the same enthusiastic attitude as the chefs in the Sikong Mansion Kitchen to Ji Steward, but just nodded at Hua Mian, all as a greeting.
The stove prepared for Hua Mian was still the one she used on the wall during the duel, and Chef Liang was still standing in front of his stove in the center and sharpening his knife.
Seeing the arrangement of the location, Hua Mian was not annoyed, just smiled, and walked around the kitchen twice to find that everyone had already begun to prepare the meal, and grabbed the chef who was cutting meat, "Today's recipe has been decided?" ”
"What's the recipe?" The chef looked puzzled.
"Is it the dishes you are making right now that they are arranged according to the needs of today's guests?"
"We do this every day," Chef Liang suddenly answered, "These are all dishes inherited from previous chefs, and the guests are used to eating them, and the guests who come to Flower Street are not here to eat."
"It's the chef, is it really good that you have nothing to do here?"
Chef Liang's face showed a suspicious expression, "Chef Xia, you don't know what you should do, right?" ”
“......”
"I'm in trouble!" Li'er ran in from outside, "Huh? What's wrong with you guys? Why are you standing in the doorway? ”
Hua Mian looked at everyone in the kitchen, and before Li'er could speak, everyone closed their mouths in amusement, so they had to say, "... It's okay, we're discussing today's menu"
Li'er smiled and clapped her hands, "That's right, the host of an important banquet just sent someone to inform you that tonight's drinks and meals must be lighter, only to learn that the guests of the banquet had a fever the day before yesterday and are still recovering, since you are discussing the menu, this one will be handed over to you."
Without waiting for Hua Mian to reply, Li'er hurriedly ran away, presumably because Sikong Yu had been out for so many days and came back, and the work of the banquet was already so busy that she couldn't be separated.
Seeing this, Chef Liang snorted and walked back to his stove, "This is just right, that banquet will be handed over to Chef Xia, let us also learn what your dishes are like that consider the situation of the guests."
Chef Liang reminded Hua Mian of this, and beckoned to Ying'er, who was cleaning up the vegetables next to her, and Ying'er hurriedly got up and wiped her hands on her apron and walked over.
"Sister Huamian, but you have something to order?"
Since Ying'er was assigned to help her, the first thing she mentioned to Ying'er was not to call her the head chef, just call her sister.
"I remembered something, I didn't have time to ask Li'er just now, you go and help me ask, that's it......"
The two whispered a few words by the wall, and Ying'er said "I know" and turned around and ran out of the kitchen.
In the main building, Sikong Yu of Yilan Building, who had returned after many days, naturally got invitations to many banquets, but he lacked skills, and wandered around the banquet halls after the ringing of the unitary clock, and he couldn't even spare time to eat dinner.
"Then I'll retire first, adults play slowly, the night of Flower Street has just begun"
"Boss Yu, don't forget to have another drink later."
Closing the door of the Fengxian Hall, Sikong Yu let out a long sigh, and drank a few drinks in a row, and he was really a little dizzy, although Sikong Yu thought that the amount of alcohol had always been very good, but he also felt a little uncomfortable because of drinking on an empty stomach.
"Who's next?"
Li'er stepped forward to support Sikong Yu's arm, "It's the shopkeeper of Lu in the Lancao Hall, and the object of the banquet is Lord Han, a member of the Ministry of Works."
