After the general introduction of the birthday banquet, the chronicler took Huamian to the kitchen.

I have to admit that just looking at the hardware facilities, the large kitchen here is far more than the maid's kitchen where Huamian works.

As soon as you enter the kitchen, there is a whole wall of tableware of various types, different from the plain porcelain used in the maid's canteen, the porcelain tableware here is meticulously painted with all kinds of flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and animals and all kinds of auspicious patterns.

Even the shelves used to place the porcelain are finely treated bamboo frames to make lattices that meet the needs of the shape.

Due to the fact that the chefs have just started work in the early morning, the chefs have not been busy in front of the stove, only a dozen small workers are busy making the stove fire, and when they saw the Ji Steward walk into the kitchen, they all stopped their work and stood up in the direction of the Ji Steward, and hung their hands and greeted "Master Ji is early"

"Why did Master Ji come to the kitchen early this morning?"

"Master Ji, who is the chef you want to find? Tell me to shout."

Steward Ji waved his hand at them, and the workers immediately stopped, saw Hua Mian following Master Ji, and looked at the ordinary-looking girl dressed as an ordinary maid with curiosity and a little puzzlement.

One of the small workers who seemed to have some seniority walked up to the Ji Steward, first made a deep gesture, and then said, "Today's preparations are almost completed, and the chefs can start work after the fire is put on, and there will be a lot of smoke in the kitchen when the fire is lit, please go to the rest place first, and the chefs are also there."

Steward Ji nodded at him, and Hua Mian followed Steward Ji, walked through the small worker, and walked out through the door on the other side of the kitchen.

Out of the side door, Huamian saw that there was a building behind the kitchen, like a courtyard house, with three floors of pavilions, cloisters, flower stands, stone carvings, tables and chairs, and even three wells in one corner of the courtyard.

The maid's canteen uses water every day to be picked up by the small worker who goes to the backyard to get water, and Huamian once thought that it would be more convenient if there was a well in the maid's canteen, but the big kitchen not only has its own well, but also has three.

"Luxury!" Hua Mian couldn't help but say to herself, not wanting the Ji steward on the side to hear a voice, so she turned around, "Miss Xia, do you have any questions to ask?" ”

"No, no, I mean it's so convenient to have a well in the yard," Hua Mian replied.

"Hehe, there are many benefits here in the big kitchen" Without asking again, the chronicler took Huamian through the courtyard and walked straight into a small building.

The general furnishings of the room are not much different from the lounge at the back of the maid's dining room, except that the space is wider and the number of furniture is more.

There were people playing chess at the table on the side, surrounded by a circle of onlookers, and when they saw Steward Ji walking in, the chess players and onlookers nodded to Steward Ji to say hello, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Master Ji, why is he free to come to the rest place today, but there is a new work notice?" ”

"About the eldest lady's birthday banquet" The chronicler took a step to the side and let out Hua Mian, who was following him, "This Xia Hua Mian girl is the chef recommended by Steward Xu to be in charge of this birthday banquet."

As soon as the governor finished speaking, the following discussion began, "Looking at his young age, can he handle such a big birthday banquet?" ”

"I heard that I only cook some country dishes in the maid's canteen, why do you come to make a birthday banquet?"

"I'm afraid I can't even recognize the equipment we use, but don't even affect us"

"Steward Xu recommended it, how did you get on Steward Xu's line?"

Listening to the discussion of everyone in front of him, Hua Mian was a little crying and laughing, people here don't shy away from talking about others? Just say it in front of yourself, aren't you in charge? How can they all be like a gossip army composed of some aunts in the community.
