Chapter 36: The Rules of the Great Kitchen

After the garden, to the east, you will pass a pool and two cloisters to enter the front yard.

The field of vision suddenly broadened, and unlike the small courtyards in the backyard with similar shapes and compact structures, the area of the front yard is very broad, and it looks like an ancient architectural and horticultural exposition is being carried out, each courtyard has its own architectural characteristics, but it is not obtrusive from each other.

When passing by these buildings, Hua Mian couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and at the same time sighed in her heart that the appearance of the maids and attendants in the front yard was "all so beautiful, just there are so many handsome guys and beauties working, it doesn't look like a creature on the same planet... Although it is true... Maybe... Probably really not on the same planet as them."

The maids who saw the dumb expression on their faces secretly laughed and whispered, "Where did this soil bun come from, why do you look like you haven't seen the world?"

The large kitchen is located in the southwest of the front yard, and the courtyard is larger than the maid's courtyard at the back, and the architectural style is too ornate from the perspective of the kitchen's function.

When he arrived at the large kitchen courtyard, the leader invited Hua Mian to rest in a side room, and he went to the kitchen to reply.

Hua Mian sat at the table, looking at the furnishings, the same kitchen in the house, the large kitchen from the size of the courtyard to the interior furnishings of various utensils than Hua Mian is the maid's kitchen is several times more sophisticated.

Just as Hua Mian was carefully studying a painting hanging on the wall that she didn't guess what it was, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his fifties, although not tall, had a ruddy face and was wearing a blue robe.

Seeing Hua Mian in the room, the man pulled the corners of his mouth, as a greeting, sat down at the table, and said without waiting for Hua Mian to make any movements, "This is Miss Xia?" ”

After getting Hua Mian's nod, the man continued, "Introduce yourself, I am the steward here in the big kitchen, my surname is Ji, you can call me Ji steward or call me Master Ji like the people who work here."

"Steward Xu personally recommended you to me, saying that the dishes you cook are very fresh, and the style is different from the usual style in the house, which will definitely make the eldest lady like it."

"Speaking of the eldest lady, I have never shown any preference for food, but the eldest lady has a few rules that must not be broken, even if it is a birthday, I hope you can keep these points in mind."

"The first point, the eldest lady only eats vegetarian, this is very important, the eldest lady is vegetarian in order to pray for the blessing of the lord who died in an accident, so you must not break the vows, but the dishes of other guests at the same table can be meat dishes, which is also the favor of the eldest lady"

"The second point is that the eldest lady is a devout Celestial Cultist, and this point needs you to grasp it well, so as not to destroy the original spirit of food in the teachings"

After speaking, the chronicler looked at Hua Mian from top to bottom again, "There are a total of twelve chefs in the big kitchen, you can choose people from them to cooperate with your work, if you have special needs, you can directly ask me to mention"

After a pause, he seemed to remember something, "Since it was recommended by Steward Xu, we can't say anything, but this banquet will invite faces from all walks of life in the city, I hope you can remember that you represent Sikong Mansion"

Is it so complicated to just cook a meal? After listening to the Ji steward, Hua Mian has already had the intention of retiring, and finally found a suitable job in this world, but he doesn't want to lose his job because of this.

It seemed that seeing Hua Mian's concerns, Steward Ji shook his head slightly, not understanding why Steward Xu would hand over such an important matter to such an unknown girl, but since Steward Xu insisted, he couldn't say anything, just hope that there wouldn't be any trouble.
