Chapter 5: Shocked
asked the lady of the wonton shop for directions, and when Qiao Jinyu and Qiao Dazhu came to Zhao's mansion, someone happened to come out of the mansion.
One of them was a girl, who looked about the same age as Qiao Jinyu, but her complexion was very dark, and she looked a little rough, as if she had just escaped from the tropics.
"Steward Zhao, just let me try again." The girl only grabbed the arm of the middle-aged man who came out with her and refused to let go, "I missed it just now, I guarantee that if I can make the dish well this time, it will definitely be in line with Madame's taste." ”
"Girl, you don't know how to cook at all, so let's go home quickly, don't make a mess here."
The man's tone was very helpless, but the movements of his hands were not ambiguous, and he forcibly tore the girl's hand off her arm.
Just as he was about to turn back, he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of a bright little beauty standing under the steps, and the man's movements couldn't help but stop.
"What are you ......," Steward Zhao asked.
Qiao Jinyu smiled and replied, "I heard that the Zhao Mansion is recruiting a cook, and I am here to apply for a cook." ”
Steward Zhao shuddered for a moment.
With this appearance and this voice, apply for a cook?
I'm afraid it's also for the general.
They all knew that the general would return to the city today, so they came to show their faces in front of the general.
But no matter how good he is, he has to put people in it.
If the general really takes a fancy to her, Madame will definitely be very happy, but Madame has been looking forward to the general's marriage for a long, long time.
Gathering his thoughts, Steward Zhao nodded.
"Alright, come in with me. Koizumi, go and lead their donkey cart behind. ”
"Yes, butler."
Xiao Quan, who was following Steward Zhao, ran down the stone steps on his feet, and when he took the reins of the donkey cart, he couldn't help but peek at Qiao Jinyu next to him.
Seeing that Qiao Jinyu happened to look over, her face burned red, and she hurriedly turned her face, not daring to take another look.
Qiao Jinyu curled her lips and smiled, and grabbed Qiao Dazhu's arm.
"Dad, let's go in."
Qiao Dazhu was a little foggy at the moment.
Although he had been to Xinyang City many times before, he had always gone directly to the morning market to sell some local products, and after selling the local products, he bought two steamed buns to nibble, and then drove the donkey cart home, and never went around outside the mansions where these big families lived.
Until now, it was the first time he had seen a mansion as magnificent as the General's Mansion, and he was so shocked that he didn't even hear what Qiao Jinyu and Steward Zhao said.
When a pair of legs walked into the gate of the General's Mansion, he suddenly woke up, grabbed his daughter's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Jinyu, where are we going?" ”
Qiao Jinyu approached him and whispered back, "Dad, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion is about to take us to the kitchen." ”
"What are you doing in the kitchen?" Qiao Dazhu was puzzled.
"Of course, I applied for a cook."
"What!" Qiao Dazhu was taken aback, and seeing that the person leading the way in front of him seemed to glance back at him, he hurriedly put away the surprise on his face and lowered his voice.
"Jinyu, didn't we say that we would like to ask Mrs. Zhao to take you in as a girl? You don't know how to make the taste that Central Plains people love to eat, how can you apply for this cook? Wait until you can't be kicked out? ”
Qiao Jinyu patted Qiao Dazhu's hand soothingly, "Dad, don't worry, isn't it just a stir-fry, why is it difficult to pour your daughter?" Mrs. Zhao likes spicy food, so I'll just add some chili peppers to it when stir-frying, you don't have to worry. ”
Qiao Dazhu was still a little uneasy, but seeing Qiao Jinyu's calm appearance, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
That's it, both horizontal and vertical are begging someone to take him in, if the chef can't pass the job, he will beg Mrs. Zhao to take Jinyu in.
General Zhao has a decent style, and this old lady Zhao must also be a kind-hearted person who is easy to talk to.
