Chapter 14: Inhuman
An Juan felt that something was wrong with Luo Yelin, but she couldn't see the specific problem, so after greeting the other party, she quickly turned around and went back to look at the things in the pot.
Luo Yelin looked Nie Ying up and down, and after making sure that this person was not as rich as him, not as tall as him, and not as handsome as him, he temporarily put down the vigilance in his heart and asked Nie Ying: "Who are you?" ”
Although Luo Yelin didn't know Nie Ying, Nie Ying knew Lord Ye.
Seeing that it was actually King Ye who was talking to him, Nie Ying was nervous and afraid, and almost had the same hands and feet: "Villain, villain is a new chef, his name is Nie Ying......"
He wanted to continue to introduce, but he heard Luo Yelin suddenly speak and interrupted him: "New chef? ”
As he spoke, Luo Yelin looked Nie Ying up and down again, thinking about whether this was recruited by An Juan herself, or whether the housekeeper brought it for An Juan to choose.
Both An Juan and Nie Ying didn't know that in these bland eyes, Luo Yelin had such a strong mental activity.
An Juan scooped up the meatballs floating in the oil pot with a big fence, roughly looked at the degree of ripeness, poured it back again, and then subconsciously stirred it twice.
With the movements of his hands, An Juan's ears have been cleverly pricked up, listening to the content of Luo Yelin's and Nie Ying's conversation.
Hearing Luo Yelin ask Nie Ying's identity, An Juan hurriedly explained: "Brother Nie was brought by the housekeeper of the palace this morning, I asked them all to make a dish, Brother Nie did the best, so I left him." ”
It was chosen by the housekeeper.
When Luo Yelin heard this, his expression froze for a moment, although he still cared about Nie Ying and An Juan's intimate behavior in the deepest part of his heart, he was embarrassed to complain anymore...... He is still willing to believe in the housekeeper's level of viewing.
So he also leaned over to take a look at the contents of the pot, and felt quite appetizing, so he rubbed his nose lightly and asked, "The meatballs in your pot look delicious...... Can you bring me one later? ”
Hearing that Luo Yelin wanted to eat this dish, An Juan couldn't help but have a proud expression on her face, and responded, "It's for you." She skillfully fished out all the meatballs, first picked up a few and put them on the plate, handed them to Luo Yelin, and then set up a pot, burned the green vegetable soup in it, and when the green vegetables were ripe, she poured some of the balls into the soup.
While she was doing this, Luo Yelin was standing at the door of the kitchen with a plate in her hand, eating croquettes leisurely, while Nie Ying tried her best to put her eyes on An Juan's hand, even in front of the prince, regardless of the image, she wanted to learn a little more.
Now that he has seen Nie Ying's expression and actions clearly, and has eaten the dishes specially prepared for him by An Juan, the nameless fire in Luo Yelin's chest has slowly faded, and there is even a vague idea of showing off in his heart - what kind of prince can introduce you to what kind of chef, you see that Nie Ying is studying so seriously, this king will definitely not let it go!
After the croquettes and meatball soup were ready, An Juan packed them together and brought them to Luo Yelin, and then turned around to continue cooking, but was stopped by Luo Yelin: "It's okay to have this dish, this king can eat some more rice, and he can be full." ”
Seeing the hesitant look on An Juan's face, Luo Yelin got up and called Nie Ying: "You make another ...... for this king" He held An Juan by the hand and was talking to Nie Ying, but his eyes kept patrolling the dishes on the wall: "Egg fried rice." ”
Nie Ying glanced at Luo Yelin, then at An Juan, and finally quickly returned to the kitchen with An Juan's nod, took out something and began to make egg fried rice.
An Juan did not take the initiative to take over the livelihood, but she also insisted on standing next to the window and observing Nie Ying's every move through the open window.
However, for this kind of home-cooked food, Anwan doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Nie Ying first went to the basket to get an egg, beat it in the bowl, and then went to get some carrots, green beans, cucumbers, diced and peeled, and soon piled these vegetables of different colors on the same plate, which looked very bright.
He showed the dish on his plate to Anwan, and then asked in a low voice if he wanted to add more.
An Juan turned around and asked Luo Yelin, then turned his head and shook his head: "No need for anything else, that's all." ”
"That's good." Nie Ying nodded, then turned around and went to the rice bucket to dig a large spoonful of white rice and put it in the bowl.
He put oil in the pot, felt the temperature of the iron pot getting higher and higher, thought about it, and knocked another egg into the bowl.
After the oil was hot, Nie Ying poured the beaten eggs from the bowl into the pot and quickly scrambled the eggs in the sudden rising fragrance.
The eggs were cooked quickly, and he continued to hold the spatula in one hand to stir the eggs in the pot, and with the other hand, he picked up the plate of colorful diced vegetables and put them all down into the pot.
In the end, all the things in the pot were fully cooked, Nie Ying poured the rice in the bowl into the pot, shoveled it with a shovel, and finally added seasonings and stir-fried it again, and it came out of the pot.
Egg scrambled eggs are an easy dish to make, and Nie Ying is a good cook, so it didn't take long for him to hand the egg fried rice to An Juan through the window.
An Juan took the plate with both hands, first looked down at the plate in his hand, then looked up and browsed the scene behind Nie Ying, and finally commanded in the chef's somewhat apprehensive gaze: "Get me a spoon." ”
As soon as she said this, Nie Ying realized that when he handed the egg fried rice to An Juan, he had forgotten to put a spoon on it.
His face turned red, and he hurriedly turned around and picked out a porcelain spoon, which he came back and carefully placed on the edge of the plate.
A big bowl of meatball soup, a small plate of croquettes, and an egg fried rice, Luo Yelin must be enough.
Thinking so, An Juan accompanied Luo Yelin to finish the meal.
During the meal, the two of them chatted while eating, and soon talked about the chef's salary.
When he heard An Juan reply, "Pay him twenty taels of silver every month", Luo Yelin was stunned for a while, and forgot to chew the balls in his mouth.
After a while, Luo Yelin swallowed the food in his mouth, and at the same time couldn't wait to ask, "What did the housekeeper tell you about this?" ”
"What's wrong?" An Wan glanced at Luo Yelin puzzled: "After the housekeeper introduced the chefs to me, he didn't speak anymore, and this price was negotiated between me and Brother Nie." ”
It's just that An Juan and Luo Yelin's focus is obviously not in the same direction, An Juan thinks that the housekeeper does not set the price privately, but Luo Yelin thinks "How do you make Miss An pay!" ”
Thinking of it, Luo Yelin hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stared at An Juan and promised: "Since the two of us said that we want to cooperate, then the salary of this chef will be covered by this king, which can be regarded as a little sincerity on my part." ”
Unexpectedly, Luo Yelin was entangled for a long time, thinking about this matter, An Juan thought about it again and again, and still rejected Luo Yelin's kindness: "I know that the prince is thinking about me, but it's only twenty taels of silver a month, and I can still afford it...... And after all, it was a contract I signed with him, and this salary should naturally be paid by me. ”
Luo Yelin still wanted to continue to persuade, but found that An Juan's face showed a somewhat determined look, and it seemed that there was no room for change.
So he didn't continue to work this, but picked up the chopsticks again, first apologized and said, "This king didn't expect it", and then began to ask about the site: "Since you have hired a chef, have you ever thought about expanding the store and opening another store?" ”
The last time Luo Yelin asked this question, An Juan didn't expect these things, so she was a little flustered; But now that Luo Yelin asked again, she was able to answer calmly: "I have this idea, but now my store has only been open for a month, and many things are still unstable, so I think it will take another month or two before I can think about expanding the store." ”
After speaking, she tilted her head and thought about it, and continued to add: "And according to my current model, it is more than enough to open a small restaurant, if I am in a hurry to open a big hotel, my dishes and all aspects may not be able to keep up with the store." ”
Luo Yelin was full of wanting to maximize An Juan's business, but after listening to An Juan's explanation, he felt that what the other party said was very reasonable, so he glanced at An Juan with appreciation and agreed with her point of view: "What you said is also very right, steady and steady is the last word." ”
He was just about to say a few more words when he saw a group of people open the curtain and walk in to the jingle of bells.
The sound of the bell is very crisp and pleasant, but the appearance and expression of this group of people do not bear the slightest resemblance to the bell.
Nie Ying was cooking seriously, and when she heard the sound of the bell, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the door.
As a result, he was so frightened that the carrot he was holding in his hand fell to the ground and rolled to the side of the water tank with a grunt.
He hurriedly bent down to touch the naughty carrot, but heard a calm voice sound: "This store is new, right?" ”
An Juan didn't know where this group of people came from, and she didn't understand why the guests saw them, so they held their breath and didn't say a word.
She glanced at Song Qin and Song Jian, who were standing in front of the counter, and were very puzzled by all this.
Among the group, there was a figure with a silver mask, and that sentence was what he asked.
An Wan responded: "It's been open for a month. ”
At the same time, she carefully observed the style of the group, and found that they were dominated by the silver-faced people, and the others were guarding him like bodyguards and minions, as if they had no self-thinking machines.
"Oh......" the silver-faced man snorted, then turned his head to look at the sign on the wall, "Do you have any signature dishes here?" ”
He speaks in a very strange tone, and when you hear it, you will feel as if he is telling a story slowly, but when you listen to it again, you will feel that he is actually speaking very fast, but he deliberately elongates the line, which sounds like a sense of pretentiousness.
An Juan had this idea in her heart, and when she listened to his voice, she didn't feel her scalp tingle, and she could even explain to him with a smile: "The recommended ones in our store are fried chicken legs, meat buns, braised pork, and rice bowls...... But these are just more distinctive, and the other dishes are also delicious, so you can try them. ”
