The back kitchen of the Cheng family is really large, and there are dozens of people who help in the back kitchen alone.

However, Sheng Qingqing didn't plan to recognize all these people. She only needs to stay here for a few days, and after completing this list, it is estimated that there will be no chance to come in the future, so there is no need to spend energy in this kind of place.

So Sheng Qingqing spent a whole day walking around the back kitchen and the neighborhood, and understood the storage locations of various ingredients and the placement of various kitchen utensils one by one.

Familiar kitchen is important for a chef. If she had known about this kitchen yesterday, then that table of dishes would not have taken more than half an hour.

As for the people in the back kitchen, Sheng Qingqing only remembered one Yang Heng in the end. For her, that's enough. After all, Yang Heng is the kitchen manager, if she really needs something, as long as she explains to Yang Heng, not to mention anything else, just look at Young Master Cheng's instructions, Yang Heng will definitely do his best to do it for her.

So, in the exchange with Yang Heng, the day passed like this.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day that Sheng Qingqing spent at Cheng's house.

On this day, Sheng Qingqing deliberately got up early in the morning, looked at the sky, and when it was still dark, she had already set off to the back kitchen.

"It's the young master's distinguished guest who came to the house today, you have to be very energetic!" Yang Heng came earlier, and when Sheng Qingqing stepped into the back kitchen, he was already full of energy to train the helpers in the back kitchen.

What Sheng Qingqing needs to do is just a luncheon, and breakfast still needs to be prepared by the chefs in the back kitchen, so the back kitchen starts to be busy early in the morning.

Yang Heng was a little surprised when he saw Sheng Qingqing.

"Why did Miss Sheng come so early today?"

Sheng Qingqing bent the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Although I am already proficient in the new dishes of the luncheon, those materials must be prepared in advance, otherwise I am afraid it will be too late until the luncheon." ”

"That's how it should be!" Yang Heng was very pleased with Sheng Qingqing's dedication, and hurriedly welcomed her into the back kitchen, and asked busily: "What ingredients does Miss Sheng need, the back kitchen has everything, if there are any shortcomings, Miss Sheng bluntly told her, and she will do her best to do it." ”

I'm waiting for this sentence!

Sheng Qingqing's eyes were shining, and when she heard this, she immediately said: "Since this is the case, then you can only bother Yang to manage things." ”

She approached Yang Heng and slowly said the ingredients she needed later.

Yang Heng listened carefully, just listening, but his face became a little faster. It was fine at first, just a little surprise, but it quickly turned into surprise.

There are many people in the back kitchen who are paying attention to this, and when they see this situation, they can't help but mutter.

"What kind of ingredients does this Sheng girl want, why the boss's face has changed."

"Could it be the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the belly of abalone and ginseng?"

The person who started immediately retorted, "If these precious ingredients are used, other families may still be a little embarrassed, but if we don't have anything in Chengfu, we just need that dragon liver and phoenix marrow." ”

"You can't really want Miss Sheng's dragon liver and phoenix marrow, right?!"

"Hahaha, that's going to make it difficult for the boss."

A group of people were secretly talking and laughing, and in the sound of the stove fire and the banging of pots and bowls, they did not let Yang Heng and Sheng Qingqing not far away hear it.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you hear it at this point.

Sheng Qingqing wouldn't care about this kind of joke, but Yang Heng was in no mood to care about these jokes at this time.

"Miss Sheng, do you really just need these ingredients?" Yang Heng couldn't believe it and asked again.

Sheng Qingqing nodded affirmatively and said, "Steward Yang didn't hear it wrong, I just need these ingredients." ”

With such a determined look, it really doesn't look like I'm crazy......

Yang Heng wiped the corners of his forehead, hesitated for a while, and said, "Miss Sheng, please wait for a while, these ingredients are stored in the warehouse, and I will go and get them here." ”

"I'm tired of Yang in charge." Sheng Qingqing thanked her very politely.

Yang Heng waved his hand again and again, and there was still a look of doubt on his face. Fortunately, his footsteps did not stop, and he soon left the back kitchen.

Sheng Qingqing took care of herself and walked around the back kitchen for a while.

Xu is a distinguished guest to visit the house today, the ingredients in the kitchen are richer than before, all kinds of rare mountain treasures, fresh seafood, and rare abalone cucumber wings, all neatly placed on the desk, waiting for the chefs to use.

After thinking about it carefully, Sheng Qingqing also took a basket and began to pick ingredients.

It's just that she's not like other chefs. Other chefs choose ingredients, and each time they grab a handful, for fear that they will not be enough, and they don't care about the preciousness of the ingredients at all. And Sheng Qingqing showed that she cared too much about the ingredients, she chose the ingredients, and every time she only caught a little less.

Just like the big-flowered mushroom, I only caught two of them, and the other ingredients were similar, two green vegetables were taken, and two small beef bones were taken......

Although there are many kinds of dishes, all of them add up, but they don't even fill the small vegetable basket.

The rest of the people in the back kitchen who paid attention to her couldn't help it.

"Miss Sheng, there is no limit to this ingredient, you can take more at a time."

Just a few roots, what can you do?

Sheng Qingqing looked at the young man who stopped her in front of her, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It took her a moment to realize what the other party meant......

"Well, I see, thank you for your concern."

She didn't know how to explain it, but luckily she didn't say much.

But the young man obviously thought that she was not persuaded, and said with a frown: "It is a distinguished guest who came to Chengfu today, if the dishes you make are not exquisite enough, when the time comes, the nobles will blame it, and you will suffer." ”

Taking so many dishes at one time, it can't be a hodgepodge, right?

The hodgepodge is a messy stew, and it is usually only the very poor people who make such dishes. Because there is no choice of ingredients at home, you can only do what you want, and throwing all the ingredients into one pot to cook is obviously the most convenient. It's just that the messy stew that comes out of this way is really vulgar for the rich and noble.

Sheng Qingqing is not such a person who doesn't know what to do, although the young man's tone is not very good, but obviously he cares about her in his words.

She smiled good-naturedly and said, "I can guarantee that the dishes made today will definitely not make your nobles angry." ”

Youth: "......"

He was tempted to say what you can guarantee.

But before he could say a word, someone next to him pulled him back.

"Are you stupid, this Sheng girl was personally ordered by Young Master Cheng to send someone to invite her, she must have the ability to hide, where do you need to be reminded."

The young man was not angry, "She's just a child!" ”

Sheng Qingqing is only eleven years old this year, and in the early years, because of long-term malnutrition, her body was a little thinner than her peers, and she looked more like a child.

"What a child! Where do people with the ability look at age! And even if there is something, you don't need to be reminded......" The man who held the young man motioned for him to go to the door.

The young man took a look, but found that Yang Heng, who had gone to the warehouse before, had come back at some point, and was standing at the door at this time, staring straight at him with those eyes.

Who is the most terrifying in this back kitchen? That's not Young Master Cheng, nor Steward Cheng, but Yang Heng. The county official is not as good as the current management, although Young Master Cheng is the master of the Cheng family, but if there is no accident, the people in the back kitchen will not have the opportunity to see Young Master Cheng once a year. Yang Heng is different, if he offends Yang Heng, he has a chance to rectify you.

The young man shuddered when he was stared at, didn't dare to say anything, and honestly returned to his post with the person who pulled him.

"Miss Sheng, did that short-eyed person bother you just now?" Although Yang Heng said this to Sheng Qingqing, his eyes kept wandering over more than a dozen people nearby, and a cold light appeared in his eyes from time to time, as if he was looking for a prisoner.

Everyone who was watching with his eyes immediately lowered their heads, as if they wanted to hide themselves underground.

Sheng Qingqing was amused to see this scene.

She thought that Yang Heng was an amiable person, but judging from the reactions of these people in the back kitchen of the Cheng family, her thoughts were still a little one-sided.

"No one bothered me." Sheng Qingqing thought about it and explained with a smile: "It's just that when I was choosing ingredients, I was a little hesitant, and that big brother came to help." ”

She pointed to the youth.

Listening to Sheng Qingqing's "explanation", not to mention Yang Heng's reaction, the young man and the people next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Heng glanced at them, his eyes were still sharp, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Regardless of whether what Sheng Qingqing said was true or false, but since Sheng Qingqing had defended these people, Yang Heng thought that such a little face would still have to be given.

At least, when Sheng Qingqing was still appreciated by Young Master Cheng, he would definitely want to give Sheng Qingqing face.

Yang Heng: "I see, did Miss Sheng choose the ingredients?" ”

Sheng Qingqing nodded.

Yang Heng smiled.

So the matter was revealed.

"I've found out what you just said, from the storeroom." Yang Heng handed over the small box in his hand and said, "Because of the urgency, I can't find many for a while, I don't know if these are enough." ”

This box is really not big, it is the size of Yang Heng's palm, and I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, and it is a very heavy weight to start.

Sheng Qingqing took the box, opened it and looked at it, and was very satisfied.

"It's just one meal, it's enough." She laughed.

Yang Heng looked weird, he really couldn't understand why Sheng Qingqing used these things in cooking. Not to mention the rest, just the red powder, the smell alone is already extremely irritating, not to mention the mouth, it can only bring pain to the tongue.

As a kitchen manager, Yang Heng naturally also knows something about cooking, and as far as he knew before, no one had ever used these spices in cooking.

And these things are rarely stored in the Cheng family, because Young Master Cheng doesn't like to use spices.

"Don't worry, Manager Yang, my new dish needs these spices, and my new dish is not the first time to cook, please rest assured of my craftsmanship." Sheng Qingqing said with a smile.
