Chapter Eighty-Four: The Cook
Ran Yan left, Jiang Ran sighed secretly, and then stepped into the house.
Ran Jue and Ran heard Jiang Ran's footsteps, and they stopped in unison, Jiang Ran just didn't know anything, just said hello to his mother and uncle as usual.
Ran looked at his daughter carefully, and then said gently, "Why are you alone, Yan'er?" ”
Jiang Ran smiled and prevaricated, "The third brother sent me back to Changchun Hall and went back, if I knew that my uncle was also there, I would definitely come over to say goodbye." ”
Ran Yan is very shrewd, and seems to have guessed it, and he will not debunk it.
As he was talking, Mother Qin came in and said, "Madam, there are a few more cooks coming over to apply today, I have to go and take a look." ”
Jiang Ran's heart moved, but she was afraid that Liu Yue was also among them, so she stood up, "Mother Qin, I'll go with you." ”
Ran felt sorry for her daughter after running around all morning, so she said, "You rest first, this cook will not be able to find a suitable one for a while, and Qin's mother is worried about these things." ”
Ran Jue was very optimistic about this niece, and said with a smile, "If Ran Ran wants to go, let her go, she sees people more accurately than you." ”
Ran was very happy when he heard his brother praise his daughter, "Since this is the case, I asked her to go with him to have a look." ”
Jiang Ran bowed and retired, and she asked Qin's mother, "How many days has it been, is it difficult to choose the cook?" ”
Mother Qin sighed, "Too honest cooking skills are not good, cooking skills are better, and too shrewd, I have picked a few days, I can see every eye-catching, as my wife said, I can't pick such a suitable one for a while, otherwise the girl will go back to rest first, and then ask the girl to choose again." ”
"Let's go and have a look."
The two went to the West Wing.
Hsinchu stepped forward and said, "Girl, Mother Qin, a few cooks who came to apply are waiting." ”
Mother Qin welcomed Jiang Ran to the seat first.
Jiang Ran glanced over, there were five women standing in a row, and Liu Yun was really standing in the middle.
Jiang Ran looked at the past, except for Liu Yue, several women were almost in their early thirties, less than forty years old, standing with their hands down, half-bowing their heads, their eyebrows lowered, and they looked very regular.
She was a little satisfied in her heart, she was just here for Liu Yue, but now it seems that these few people look more regular regardless of their cooking skills, maybe they can leave one.
"Tell me who your last name is, where you live, who you are, and what kind of cuisine you are good at. From left to right. Jiang Ran commanded lightly.
The first woman on the left hand said first, "The husband's surname is Sun, the family has a son, and the northern and southern cuisines are only slightly known, and it is a little difficult if it is too complicated." ”
The woman spoke very softly, without haste or impatience, nor with her boasting.
Jiang Ran nodded secretly.
The second woman said, "The husband's surname is Zhou, and the slave family will only make some dessert porridge." It's not too good to do,"
Jiang Ran listened quietly, these women gave her a good impression, not like the kind of shrewd face, nor the kind of princess who sells melons and boasts.
The third is Liu Yue. She said lightly, "The slave's surname is Liu, the husband died early, and he is alone, and the slave family is not good at cooking." ”
After two sentences, there was no more words.
If you are not good at cooking, you dare to apply?
Mother Qin was stunned from the sidelines,
She has seen a lot of cooks these days, and they all talk about such and such dishes as soon as they come up, all kinds of bragging, and as a result, when they cook, they are not as good as a few girls in the house.
Except for the third one, who seemed to be looking for fun, the rest looked a little ordinary, but they gave people a very down-to-earth feeling, and soon the five women said it one by one.
Jiang Ran finally pointed to the first one, "This sister-in-law of the Sun family, if I choose you, are you willing to stay." ”
The sister-in-law saluted and said, "The slave family is willing to listen to the girl's dispatch." ”
Jiang Ran said, "My mother's body is weak, so she needs to be extremely careful with the ingredients. ”
Sister-in-law Liu nodded, "The slave family only listens to the girl's dispatch." ”
The same thing was said twice, but only one word changed, the meaning was completely different, and it was also extremely transparent.
The statement is short, not a word of nonsense.
Qin's mother was also a little satisfied.
Jiang Ran turned around at this time, "Mother Qin, it's her, try it for three days first, see your cooking skills and character, go and arrange a place to live first, at night"
She said to her sister-in-law Sun, "In the evening, you can pick up a few dishes that you are best at and make a table, not too many, just be casual." ”
Mother Qin also thinks that these people are still good, but she doesn't know how to cook, and after listening to Jiang Ran's instructions, she has no objections.
"Girl, there is one more thing today, I want to tell you about it."
Jiang Ran saw that Mother Qin seemed to have something important like this, so he said, "You guys wait here for a while." ”
Then he went to the cubicle with Qin's mother, "But what's the matter?"
Mother Qin whispered, "Today, the big kitchen just sent some vegetables and vegetables, and the quality is very poor, and some of the vegetables are yellow. ”
There is a small kitchen in Changqing Hall, Jiang Ran has been eating with her mother, and Mrs. Jiang is the housekeeper, so it stands to reason that she has to set aside rice, noodles, vegetables and meat to the small kitchen every day. However, over the years, the old lady has deducted, and only some vegetables have been sent to the small kitchen, and Ran's is too lazy to care, so she usually sends whatever she wants, and then takes her own body to buy some.
But for the first time now, even vegetables are yellowed.
Jiang Ran knew it as soon as he heard it.
Mrs. Jiang slapped her swollen face and became fat, and made this set of noodles for Cheng Lanxin, but she was afraid that the rest of the family would be tossed almost this month.
Sure enough, Qin's mother continued, "I was a little confused, so I went to the big kitchen to take a look, and sure enough, they were all vegetables that I hadn't eaten a few days ago, and even the meat was gone. ”
Jiang Ran waved her hand, "Don't worry about this beforehand, we have everything we have for everything," she remembered something, so she asked, "We went out today, how about Peony and Crape Myrtle?" ”
Mother Qin sighed, "Both of them have red and swollen knees, the uncle came back to see it, it was a little serious, and he found two girls to take care of it, and such a thing can't be passed on, and their families don't know about it." ”
When Jiang Ran sighed in her heart, she also felt that this was a turning point, and she secretly calculated.
The two of them still went to the wing.
Jiang Ran pointed to Liu Yue at this time, "I see that this Liu Niang is extremely capable, and she is a little wronged to be a cook, Ran Yuan has no mother, so I will ask for it, and the rest of the three, my mother will give it away with some rewards." ”
