It only took a moment of effort, and the blazing fire was already extremely vigorous. The two women beside him had already stopped arguing and exchanged glances with each other.

The black and thin woman stepped forward and inserted her waist, and said in a strange manner: "Who are you, you! ”

Zhaoyun put down the blowtorch in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "I am the cook specially assigned by Lord Wang. ”

"It turned out that it was someone sent down from above, and he was disrespectful!" The thin black woman hurriedly bowed and smiled.

Zhaoyun didn't bother to pay attention to her, looked at the chubby woman beside her and asked, "Are there eight cooks here?" ”

"Yes, yes." The fat woman was watched by her, and she didn't even realize that she had become a little uncomfortable to speak.

"Take me to see it!" Zhaoyun instructed.

The two women hurriedly stepped forward, scrambling to open the curtain for her.

It turned out that there was one fire house in the back kitchen cabin, but another room for selecting vegetables and cutting vegetables.

After the curtain was opened, Zhaoyun saw four women sitting around the stool, munching on melon seeds and making noise. And the only one who is really doing things is a young girl and a woman.

"Looks like everyone is busy!" Zhaoyun was the first to speak.

"yes, they're all busy!" A woman sprinkled the melon seed shell in her hand and continued to say with great interest, "Anyway, where did we just go!" ”

Zhaoyun walked over and uncovered the cauldron burning on the stove, only to see gruel boiling inside. I scooped it with a spoon, and I saw that there were even more sparse grains of rice coming up from the bottom.

"Could it be that Lord Wang paid a lot of money to invite you here, just to let you make trouble on this ship?" Zhaoyun finally understood why all the materials on the ship in his previous life were intercepted by the water bandits.

The escort soldiers didn't even have enough to eat, so where did they get the strength to compete with the bandits?

"Girl, you can't just talk nonsense about framing us!" A woman who was making a fuss just now threw away the melon seeds in her hand and said unreasonably, "It's like we didn't do anything!" ”

"Yes, you can go over there and see for yourself, didn't we do so many things?" The other woman also stuck her waist and said viciously.

Zhaoyun smiled, and when he went over there to open the lid of the pot, he saw a few bowls of steaming tamales, roast goose, sauce elbow and other meat dishes inside.

"Take a closer look for yourself, we're all ready to rest here for a while!"

"I'm afraid these are all for the official master!" Zhao Yunpi said with a smile.

The women who were stealing and playing tricks immediately bowed their heads in a bit of a loss.

"You little girl is really funny when she talks." The dark and thin woman from before immediately changed her face, "Although you are a person sent by Lord Wang, you may not know that since we were invited by Lord Wang to spend silver and silver, we will always give priority to a few adults when we make food. ”

"What Mrs. Cao said is right!" A woman replied, "The soldiers below are subordinates, and it is enough to prepare white porridge and pickles for them!" ”

Human? If it weren't for these "subordinates" in their mouths, what would they do to resist the flowing bandits? Zhaoyun sneered.

"They are subordinates, so who are you?" Zhaoyun stepped forward and asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the women were silent, Zhaoyun sneered, "Since they are not the masters, how can they come from to say that the subordinates are here?" ”

"Those soldiers are in the prime of life, how can porridge and pickles fill their stomachs? If you don't have enough to eat, you naturally don't have strength. What if we meet a bad guy on the way? ”

Seeing that they were silent, Zhaoyun picked up the big iron spoon again, scooped a scoop of porridge from it, and spilled it from mid-air.

"See for yourselves, this porridge is really worthy of gruel, and the rice in it is pitiful."

"Gruel is naturally thin, is it the same as boiling rice, and boiling a big pot of rice?" The thin black woman looked up and quibbled.

"Before I got on the ship, I had heard that there were bandits in the West Sea. They robbed the shippers and sometimes killed and sold the goods. Zhaoyun didn't answer her words, and threw the iron spoon into the pot, "The words have been said for this part, you can decide for yourself!" ”

"It depends on whether you think it is more important to be greedy for money in your pocket, or if it is more important to have a small life!" A cold voice echoed in the ears of several people.

A few of them just wanted to take this opportunity to be greedy for some money. How could he have expected to hear such news from Zhaoyun's mouth?

Seeing that their faces suddenly turned blue and red, Zhaoyun picked up a green onion on the stove and played with it.

"You must be bluffing us!" The woman, who was a little rich, stepped forward and glared and said, "We have never heard of bandits in the West Sea before, how did you know that?" ”

"Yes, we never heard of it before, you must be lying to us!"

Looking at their unbelieving looks, Zhaoyun shrugged helplessly.

"I've got it done, believe it or not! But as the old saying goes, it's better to believe what you have than what you don't. Life is not child's play, just don't regret it yourself! ”

These words, along with a thunderclap from outside the cabin, exploded in everyone's ears with a "boom".

Enough to deaf feedback.

"I believe what the girl says!"

After a few thunders, a voice came from the side of the stove, "Since we are hired cooks, we naturally have to cook well!" ”

Zhaoyun looked at that place, and saw the woman who had been burying her head in the stove and constantly adding firewood to the stove, put down her work, and looked up at her with a kind face.

"I've woken up here, so why don't you guys come to help?"

Several people froze in place in embarrassment, but as soon as they heard this, they also went down the stairs and hurriedly went over to help.

After Zhaoyun cleaned his hands, he also walked over, picked up the rolled dough, placed the minced meat in the center with chopsticks, and wrapped it unfamiliarly.

In her previous life, in order to capture Mu Xici's heart, she specially learned cooking skills from Mingcui. learned that he likes to eat pasta, and specially spent a lot of money to hire a cook who is good at making pasta to teach her hand-in-hand.

She thought that she would wash her hands and make soup for him, which would touch his heart that had been frozen for a long time. In the end, she only moved herself.

"Girl, look at your speech and demeanor, you know that you came out of a big family." Zhao Niangzi, who had previously cleared the siege, interrupted Zhaoyun's thoughts.

"That's right, looking at the girl like this, she looks like a young lady from a big family." A woman smiled and agreed.

Zhaoyun was about to answer, but was preempted by the Cao lady: "The young lady of a big family? You have too much to do with your conscience. Which lady from a big family will go on board to do what a cook does? ”

Hearing her yin and yang tone, Zhaoyun sneered in his heart. Although she is not a young lady from a large family, she was also a more noble existence.

However, she didn't bother to debate anything with her, and asked the others with a smile: "Do you know who is the biggest official on this boat?" ”

"You don't know?" Some plump Qian Niangzi said with a smile, "The official master of this escort is Li Jun of the City Shipping Division, Lord Li." ”
