Chapter 41: The Test (Part II)
"Huh?" After listening to Yang Gu's words, Hua Mian didn't react for a while.
"I said that this hoof-shaped grass soup is not qualified," Yang raised his voice unceremoniously, and said again.
The people who were eating in the dining hall either turned their heads to look or listened to Yang Gu after hearing Yang Gu's words, although the eating action did not stop, they were all quietly paying attention to what was happening at this table.
"Unqualified? Why? Hua Mian frowned, this soup is provided by the big kitchen from the seasoning to the ingredients, and I have tried it myself, and I think there is no problem with the taste, why is it unqualified?
Other chefs came over and put a few spoonfuls of soup into their bowls.
"This one is very delicious, and the taste is very good"
"I didn't expect to be able to do this"
"The taste is good, and I can't taste the hoofgrass at all."
"That's right! That's it," Yang Gu patted the table and said
"Which one? Good taste? ”
"No, next sentence"
"Can't taste the hoofed grass at all?"
"That's right," Yang turned his head to look at Hua Mian, "What is the title I gave you?" ”
"Make a dish out of hoofed grass... But I do use hoof-shaped grass for this dish."
"But the aroma of the mushrooms in your dish is too strong, completely masking the grassy aroma of the hoofgrass, and the point of the hoofed grass is the grassy aroma that it emits after cooking, which is completely different from other vegetables that lose their smell when heated."
"Now that you know your problem, what else do you need me to add?"
The onlookers around realized that Hua Mian had failed Yang Gu's exam, and they all put on a gloating expression and waited to see the excitement.
"This Yang really doesn't give any face, so he just said it directly"
"That girl was also recommended by Steward Xu, so Yang didn't give face like this, I'm afraid I would offend the people above."
"If you take this opportunity to transfer Yang Gu out of the big kitchen, you can have one more vacancy"
Seeing that the two of them were deadlocked, the people who sat a little more even began to discuss the topic of who would become the back-up of the head chef of the big kitchen.
"I understand" Hua Mian got up and bowed to Yang Gu, "Thank you Master Yang for your teaching, I will refuse this work"
At first, Yang thought that this girl was like many people working in the big kitchen, and she was entrusted with a job in the house, so after naming herself as her collaborator, she wanted to let her touch the nail, so that she could ask the steward to change the collaborator.
Unexpectedly, she took the exam questions she put forward very seriously, from the choice of mushrooms as a side dish, to the cooking techniques used to make dishes, it can be seen that she is taking this job seriously, but it is herself, at this time, taking the smell of mushrooms as a reason, it seems a little deliberately far-fetched.
"Wait"
Hearing Yang Gu suddenly speak, Hua Mian, who had already walked to the door, stopped, "Master Yang, what other guidance does Master Yang have?" ”
Yang Gu coughed, as if to hide the embarrassment of the change in his heart, "I'll give you another chance"
"What?" Hearing Yang Gu's words, Hua Mian turned around and faced Yang Gu, Hua Mian sincerely hoped to refuse this job from the bottom of her heart and return to the maid's dining hall, so she was a little anxious when she heard Yang Gu say that she would give her another chance, and her face was dyed a few pieces of crimson because of the sudden emotional change.
Seeing that Hua Mian's cheeks were red, the corners of her eyes seemed to be choking back tears, and she looked at herself with an incredible expression, Yang Gu suddenly felt a little lucky, fortunately, she had come up with this reason to help her stay.
