Chapter 33
Stepping into Aunt Rong's bedroom, Xiangru saw that the other party's expression was obviously much more relaxed than at noon, and several neatly copied pieces of paper were pressed with a paperweight and placed on the edge of the inkstone.
Xiangru first put the food on the round table, then went to the basin shelf, poured the hot water used to keep warm in the food box into the basin, mixed it into warm water and brought it to Aunt Rong to clean her hands, and then served her to eat.
After eating half quietly, Aunt Rong suddenly raised her head and asked Xiangru to go back and tell everyone that the selection of new chefs will be carried out in the next two days, and one person will be selected from the existing kitchen workers to be promoted to chefs, so that everyone can be mentally prepared.
"Just one person? How would I answer this if asked? They will say that it would be good to just reinstate Jin Honggen. ”
"Tomorrow I will announce the personnel arrangements of the kitchen, Chef Li will take my place, Jin Honggen will be reinstated, and the other two cooks will not move, you go to the pharmacy, and your position will be replaced."
"Then there is one less kitchen worker and handyman, do you want to make up for it?"
"It doesn't matter. There are few kitchen workers to keep people out of the way, and Lilac and Yinhua are transferred to the porter, so that the three vacant handyman seats are all replaced by other older palace people. ”
"Let them both go to the porter? Do they know the rules? I'm afraid that even the people who often come and go to our women's medical hall don't recognize it, right? ”
"What's the matter, only with a new face will outsiders know that our new manager here has taken office, and they know my temper, and they will be diligent and careful in their work. Besides, there are only a few people who often come and go to the hospital, and they don't need to recognize them all like the maids' maids, and those people don't care if they are remembered by us, just remember by the doctors. ”
"It turns out that my aunt has thought it through, so I'll tell them when I get back in a while." Originally, I didn't know how Cinnamon persuaded Aunt Rong to transfer the cloves and honeysuckle away, but now I know.
After the explanation, Aunt Rong returned to work after dinner, Xiangru cleaned up the table and hurried back to the kitchen to pass the word, but concealed the whereabouts of her and Yinhua Lilac.
The people in the kitchen who hadn't left before heard Xiangru's words, and everyone reacted differently. Chef Li cried with joy, everyone hugged forward to say goodbye, and then Jin Honggen came outside and knelt under the porch to thank God, the kitchen workers were nervous and secretly calculated, and Yinhua and Lilac stood in the corner and watched coldly.
Only no one remembered that the number of cooks was wrong.
After a mess and a commotion, the quasi-responsible aunt Li Chef Niang sent everyone to work and went back to the house. Yinhua and Lilac rolled up their sleeves and came out to wash the dishes, and found that Jin Honggen was gone, and their hearts suddenly became uneven, and they snorted angrily to complain to Chef Li, but the prospective aunt didn't pay attention to it at all, and only let them finish washing quickly, and then she also left with the cooks in the same room.
Lilac and Yinhua touched a nail, and angrily stepped back and washed the dishes, until Xiangru came out with the empty bowl after eating, and slowly squatted down opposite them.
"Xiangru, tell me, how can there be such a thing, Aunt Rong hasn't given an official notice yet, they are happy to be like this, and they don't even do work." The cloves wash off the grease from a vegetable bowl and throw it into a basin of clean water.
"Don't be angry with them, you can't do it, your two affairs are already settled, transfer you to the porter, where it is comfortable and relaxed."
Lilac and Yinhua were stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they threw their stomachs out of the clouds, jumped up and hugged each other, laughing and screaming.
"Hey, hey, don't look at the kitchen and be happy like this, okay? You two have to go back to sleep as if nothing happened, until Aunt Rong officially informs you, don't patronize Silly Fun, you know? The good sister was happy like this, and Xiangru also smiled on her face.
"I know, I know, we won't say a word when we go back." Lilac raised her index finger to her lips and made a silent gesture.
"It's good to know, hurry up and wash the dishes, I deliberately left a yam, and I'm boiling wolfberry yam and jujube porridge at this time, you hurry up." After saying that, Xiangru got up and went back to the kitchen, while Lilac and Yinhua hurried to do things.
I received good news today, the two of them were full of energy at the moment, and their movements were fast, and as soon as Xiangru removed the casserole from the stove, they came in with a large basin of clean dishes.
Xiangru still put Aunt Rong's share in hot water first, then rolled up her sleeves and came over to help clean up the dishes, and the three of them sat down to enjoy the hot porridge after they were done, and then Xiangru and Lilac went to serve Aunt Rong to wash and sleep, and Yinhua cleaned up the kitchen.
After breakfast the next day, today's melons, fruits, flesh and vegetables were delivered, and Aunt Rong came over to give a lecture and officially announced the personnel transfer in the kitchen.
Everyone listened to Xiangru's words last night, so the cooks and cooks were mentally prepared, and they listened quietly at first. When they heard that Yinhua and Lilac were going to be transferred to the porter, there was a small discussion, and then when it was finally announced that Xiangru was going to be transferred to the pharmacy, the discussion turned into a noise, in their eyes, Xiangru was a step to the sky!
Everyone was in a commotion, Aunt Rong did not force it, she called the newly appointed Aunt Li, handed over the kitchen affairs to her, and told her to go back to pack up her things, and move to the yard where Aunt Rong now lives on the day of the winter solstice, and she herself will move to the yard vacated by Aunt Xiao.
Now that they have mentioned moving the yard, they also told Yinhua and Lilac not to forget to pack their luggage and move to the right room of the north house, where there is their top boss, and there are people to teach them what to do in the gatehouse.
Lilac and Yinhua hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after stepping back, they both had smiles on their faces that could not be hidden.
At this time, everyone was already in a mess, mainly because Xiangru's whereabouts were too surprising, in their impression, the kitchen didn't seem to have transferred anyone to the pharmacy, and Xiangru caught up with the first time.
Xiangru first saluted Aunt Rong and then saluted Aunt Li, and then accepted everyone's congratulations, and for a while envy, envy, jealousy, and hatred all kinds of emotions were entangled in the hearts of everyone in the kitchen.
With a calm and calm smile on her face, Xiangru spoke to everyone without arrogance or impatience, thanking them for their congratulations, and not caring about their mood at this time.
Finally, when everyone's emotions were vented, Aunt Rong finished the last thing, solemnly handed over the token of the aunt in charge to Aunt Li, completed the last step of the transfer of power, and officially relieved herself of the responsibilities of the director, and then patted Aunt Li's shoulder as if she was a burden, and walked out of the kitchen.
After everyone returned to the courtyard, Lilac and Yinhua went to the well to wash the dishes, and in a few days this kind of life was about to say goodbye to them, and the emotional two people didn't feel how cold they were when they put their hands into the cold well water.
Aunt Li's new official took office, the first thing was to elect the new chef as soon as possible, everyone discussed, and decided that today's two meals will be made by the kitchens.
The cooks thought it would be fair, and readily agreed.
The method was agreed, everyone took action, counted the ingredients sent today, and everyone had an idea of what to do for the two meals in the middle and evening, and the eight kitchen workers each reported the dishes they wanted to make, and at the same time began to prepare oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other things.
The day passed uneventfully, after dinner, the bride of the chef was selected, and when Xiangru sent the supper, she reported the name of the bride chef to Aunt Rong, and Aunt Rong wrote it down, and then handed over all the lists to Xiangru, and asked her to go to Aunt Xiao to give these things to Yugui, and she would send them to the courtyards tomorrow to prepare.
At noon the next day, when Yu Gui came to get the food, she deliberately waited for Xiangru to leave together, and told her that if Aunt Fang explained it in the morning, the old palace people who were transferred to the pulp washing room would move over today, and asked Xiangru to go back today to pack her bags, and someone would go to her courtyard to pick her up tomorrow morning.
Xiangru was overjoyed on her face, and she thanked her even in her mouth, thinking that she was about to start a new life, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, but as a result, Yugui saw it and persuaded her with a smile.
Xiangru said this when serving Aunt Rong's lunch, looking at the child who had been by her side for four years and would return to her aunt tomorrow, Aunt Rong always felt uncomfortable, and pulled Xiangru to babble and say a lot of things, taught her some principles of dealing with people, and told her to be careful in everything, and then let her go back.
Xiangru went back to the kitchen for lunch, at this time the people were gone, only the lilac and honeysuckle outside were washing the dishes, Xiangru first told her about moving the yard tomorrow, the three girls held hands and said to each other to take care, and then Xiangru went back to the house to rest.
When he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly thought of something, turned over and got out of bed again, opened the cabinet and took out Aunt Rong's unfinished shoes, wrapped all the things such as fabrics, needlework, and threads into a small bag, and hurriedly went to Aunt Xiao's place to find Yugui and handed over the things to her.
After finishing this, Xiangru returned to the house and sat on the edge of the bed for a while, thinking that she was in no mood to sleep again, so she simply packed her baggage. After a while, Aunt Li and the others woke up and got up, and Xiangru told the three of them about moving to the pharmacy tomorrow, so everyone sighed again before going to the kitchen to do things.
Because it was the last day in the kitchen, Xiangru was quite hardworking, today she made a snack with a variety of vegetable juices to mix the four-color dough, mixed the stuffed plum dumplings, steamed in the pot and then came out, and everyone in the kitchen gave Xiangru a thumbs up. Xiangru sprinkles the finely chopped shallots evenly on the dumplings to decorate, and then wraps the dumplings with a thin layer of cooked oil while they are hot, so as not to dry out the skin and affect the taste after cooling. When everything was completed, someone was called to quickly divide it and wait for someone to pick it up.
When the people in each courtyard received their own snacks, the kitchen was free, everyone was looking for a warm place to eat and chat, Aunt Li and several of their cooks got together and told Jin Honggen that Xiangru was going to move out tomorrow, and told her to go back at night to pack her bags and move back tomorrow.
These people chatted quietly for a while, and when they saw Xiangru finish eating the snack, they all hugged her, and invited Xiangru back to the house to rest while laughing, not daring to work for her to cook dinner again.
Xiangru knew that people couldn't wait to send her to clean up her things, so she didn't have to make dinner and went back to the house obediently. By the time dinner was ready, her things were organized, and a few large bags were stuffed in the cupboard.
After dinner, she carefully boiled a pot of wolfberry and red date lotus seed porridge, this is the last time to make a supper for Aunt Rong, and there are thousands of thoughts in her mind, both feelings about her past life and prospects for her future life, but what she thinks about the most is to do things well when she arrives at the pharmacy, and she must not be caught in the wrong place and sent back.
The hot porridge was sent to Aunt Rong's house, Aunt Rong ate half a bowl and looked at Xiangru who was standing on the side, she was in a complicated mood, lost her appetite for a while, put down the bowl and called Xiangru to take her hand and touch it, choked for a long time and couldn't say a word, both regretful and happy and sad, although she knew that there would be a doctor Xie to cover her in the future, but she was still afraid that she would be wronged under the woman surnamed Fang.
Xiangru pursed her mouth tightly and didn't say a word, only taking a handkerchief to press it on her eyes in turn.
"Did Cinnamon pass a message to you?"
"It's passed, auntie, someone will come to pick you up tomorrow morning, come and kowtow to you." Xiangru raised her voice and said softly.
"That's it, don't bother that much, so as not to make people complain, people come to pick it up and just leave."
"Aunt treats Xiangru for a while, and my aunt is not polite, but Xiangru can't be regarded as a blessing, otherwise if it spreads, people still think that my aunt would like to send Xiangru away early, or I don't know if I will serve my aunt in the morning and knock it together when she gets up in the morning, right?"
Aunt Rong thought about it and finally agreed.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The bug was bullied by the rat and begged for comfort, begging for votes to soothe the bug's weak heart.
The network cable at home was bitten off by mice, and I thought it couldn't be updated today, but fortunately, the master of the telecom came to help the insects reconnect the wire, I really don't know, the network cable was used as a tool for grinding teeth by mice, gnawed into potholes.
Damn rat, bugs curse your eight ancestors!!
Now the mice are all fine, the mouse cage and the sticky mouse board are not fooled at all, and they can't get cats, but all those who have asked about cats are pet cats that can't catch mice::\>_\<::
