Chapter 16 Stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix sixteen
Although Mrs. Zhang's words were a little unexpected, she was immediately relieved. Although Mrs. Zhang has only met Zhan Xiaoxiao a few times, Mrs. Zhang admires this little sister very much. For this heroine, Mrs. Zhang is almost a little blind worship, and even thinks that the exhibition of novels is right. As soon as she heard that she was not only not a man, but her sister Zhan Xiaoxiao, Mrs. Zhang was immediately relieved.
Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't have time to chat with the eldest sister, so she directly broke the maid away and told Mrs. Zhang what was important. Mrs. Zhang's face had already returned to normal, but she was immediately frightened by Zhanxiao's words. Mrs. Zhang is not a confused woman, nor is she a lady without opinions, even if she can't be regarded as Zhang Juzheng's 100% virtuous helper, she will not be Zhang Juzheng's stupid wife. She is well aware of the importance of her husband Zhang Juzheng, and the whole family will change because of Zhang Juzheng. Once Zhang Juzheng becomes the first assistant of the cabinet, whether it is the Zhang family or her mother's family, they will all reach a new peak. For the glory and future of the family, Zhang Juzheng's health and safety are the most important things. Taking care of Zhang Juzheng's life is the most important thing for Mrs. Zhang now. If there was a problem with Zhang Juzheng's diet and safety, she would not have to publicly punish her by the patriarch of the Zhang family, and she would also die of shame. She thought that she had taken good care of her husband Zhang Juzheng, at least she felt that Zhang Juzheng's diet was safe. Nowadays, it seems that there are really a lot of problems, and it is even a little ridiculous.
Just when Zhan Xiaoxiao told Mrs. Zhang that there was a major loophole in the Zhang family's Zhang Juzheng Mansion, Qin Tai had already found a more serious safety hazard in the kitchen. Although Zhang Juzheng's diet is supervised by a special person, from purchase to cleaning, from production to plating, and even later delivery by special personnel, it seems to be very standardized, in fact, there are countless problems. First, Zhang Juzheng's ingredients are not only not the freshest, but they are always purchased at fixed stalls. This has created an opportunity for some people with intentions, as long as they do their tricks and feet on raw materials, Zhang Juzheng will definitely die. Second, although the raw materials are separated from other people, the person who cleans them is the same. Not only does this person often mix things up, but he also has no sense of safety and does not pay special attention to Zhang Juzheng's ingredients. Third, the chopping boards and kitchen utensils in Zhang Juzheng's house are shared, and there is no special set of special utensils specifically for Zhang Juzheng. If someone wants to poison it, they don't need to start with Zhang Juzheng's ingredients, just poison the utensils. At that time, not only Zhang Juzheng will die, but even Zhang Juzheng's family will be poisoned together. Fourth, the chef who specializes in cooking for Zhang Juzheng, although he is a top cooking master, has no safety awareness, and he does not even pay attention to the minimum hygiene. Wipe your sweat while stir-frying. Use a hand towel that I don't know what the background color is, and wipe my sweat and body from time to time. Qin Tai also saw that after the cook blew his nose, he went directly to touch Zhang Juzheng's ingredients without washing his hands. This is not only disgusting but also extremely unhygienic, Zhang Juzheng has not had a stomach trouble all these years, which shows that Zhang Juzheng's stomach is really good. Fifth, Zhang Juzheng's special dishes and chopsticks were not cleaned and stored in time, and they were put aside casually, and they were not distinguished from the dishes and chopsticks used by others. It's just that when it's time to load the dishes, I pick them out of the other utensils and clean them casually. Sixth, the food delivery staff should have been fixed, but they often change shifts in private, and even let others replace them at will. This not only does not achieve special management, but also has great potential safety risks. This is not as simple and hygienic as Zhang Juzheng eating out the meals ordered by the restaurant. Zhang Juzheng is right to pay attention to safety, but his subordinates are actually harming Zhang Juzheng by doing this.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang took Zhan Xiaoxiao to the kitchen of her house and saw all this. There was no need for Qin Tai to say anything, Mrs. Zhang finally saw the so-called "safe kitchen production process". Mrs. Zhang was so frightened by everyone's behavior that she couldn't speak, she asked everyone to pay attention to safety and hygiene almost every day, but she didn't expect it to be so unbearable. After thinking that her husband was eating this kind of food, Mrs. Zhang felt that she was really not competent enough and did not care about finding her husband. Zhan Xiaoxiao was also frightened by everyone's behavior, but he didn't expect Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet deputy assistant, to eat like this, he couldn't believe it. If anyone dares to cook for Emperor Longqing like this, it is a serious crime even more serious than the assassination of the king. It is simply a crime of murdering the body of the king and the royal descendants, which can be compared with the crime of rebellion.
Mrs. Zhang didn't have the heart to blame everyone, and now she didn't have time to care about these cooks. Now Zhang Juzheng is still waiting to eat and feed her husband's stomach, so that Zhang Juzheng can work with peace of mind is more important than anything. Mrs. Zhang glanced at Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Zhan Xiaoxiao immediately nodded understandingly. Mrs. Zhang and Zhan Xiaoxiao, without the help of anyone, cooked the simplest meal for Zhang Juzheng. Mrs. Zhang is responsible for selecting the ingredients, and Zhan Xiaoxiao is responsible for cleaning and cutting. With Zhan Xiaoxiao, a skilled knife master, present, cutting ingredients is a piece of cake. Under the instructions of Mrs. Zhang, Zhan Xiaoxiao cut the ingredients into pieces, shredded them, and chopped them into rotten pieces. Mrs. Zhang personally cooked and made a four-dish and one-soup meal for her husband, with two meats and two vegetables plus a clear soup. Although the dishes are simple and the taste may not be as good as those made by professionals, they are absolutely hygienic and healthy. Mrs. Zhang has secretly decided that she will cook for her husband herself until she finds a competent cook these days.
Mrs. Zhang's behavior has already made everyone in the kitchen at a loss, and the cooks are not fools, understanding that Mrs. is actually firing them in disguise. The cook didn't realize that he had done something wrong, and thought that the lady was making a fuss and that there were so-called "traitors" sowing discord with the master. For this reason, they focused all their attention on two people they didn't know, they were Qin Tai and his wife. Although Zhang Juzheng's family is already a bit big, people up and down know each other more or less. The cooks not only know how to cook, but also often chat with everyone, so almost everyone in Zhangfu knows each other. Since they knew each other, they wouldn't betray everyone, so they immediately thought of Qin Tai and his wife, who they didn't know, betraying them. So they not only hated Qin Tai and his wife, but even Mrs. Zhang, the proprietress.
A cook seems to be very arrogant, and he still has some backers to rely on, so he began to ask Mrs. Zhang. It seems to mean that Mrs. Zhang should not listen to outsiders and not believe them, who have worked in Zhang Juzheng's house for many years. He not only asked Mrs. Zhang to drive away Qin Tai and his wife, but also asked Mrs. Zhang to ensure that this kind of thing would not happen again. His arrogance and tone made Qin Tai and his wife also see the strange scenery of Zhang's mansion. It seems that Zhang Juzheng has not had the heart to take care of his family's affairs over the years, and Mrs. Zhang is too indulgent to her subordinates.
Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't need her husband Qin Tai's order, she had already rushed to deal with these arrogant cooks. Although these cooks are usually very arrogant and boast about how powerful they are, after meeting Zhan Xiaoxiao, a real master, they are simply not as good as breaking sacks. Zhan Xiaoxiao only had to subdue all these cooks in the time it took to cook a dish. It scared some other people who wanted to come forward and didn't dare to do it again.
Mrs. Zhang was not only angry but also completely disappointed by the behavior of these cooks. At this time, the guards of Zhang's mansion rushed over when they heard the noise, and Mrs. Zhang asked the guards to arrest all these cooks. Qin Tai felt that there was something wrong with it, because a kitchen helper was not only not ready to come forward to help after the accident, but also wanted to leave here as soon as possible. This kind of performance means that the person has a problem and wants to go out and report the situation here. This person is definitely a person who has some kind of connection with the outside world, who will be the master behind him? Is it the Emperor Longqing? Or Meng Chong? Is it a high arch? Is it Li Guifei? Is it Feng Bao? Will there be other political opponents? Is it Jinyiwei? Or the East Factory? It may also be the Criminal Department. Zhang Juzheng has sprung up over the years, and he has long become a figure of everyone's attention, and someone will definitely secretly monitor Zhang Juzheng's every move. I just don't know who sent this person, and what kind of sphere of influence planted it.
Qin Tai stopped Mrs. Zhang from punishing these cooks, and at the same time gave his wife some hints. Once Mrs. Zhang beats the cook, this matter will be exposed in advance. Those spies and stakes will be moved, or hide on the spot or leave Zhang's Mansion far away, and there will be no chance to find them again. Now there is only one way, which is to use the kitchen guys fighting each other as an excuse to stabilize these people. Then he sent capable personnel to secretly investigate, catch out all the suspicious people in Zhang's mansion as soon as possible, and completely restore Zhang Juzheng's family to a peaceful and clean house. These things need Mrs. Zhang's cooperation, and someone needs to be in charge. Qin Tai was going to discuss a big matter with Zhang Juzheng, and the matter of cleaning up Zhang's mansion had to be handed over to Zhan Xiaoxiao to be responsible.
Mrs. Zhang had no idea, so she had to listen to Zhanxiao's meaning. It was only now that Mrs. Zhang guessed the identity of this middle-aged doctor-like person. The person who can command Zhan Xiaoxiao, and the person who can make Zhan Xiaoxiao completely obey orders, there is only one person in the world who is Zhan Xiaoxiao's husband and boss Qin Tai. Zhan Xiaoxiao's blind obedience to her husband Qin Tai is something that everyone knows, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Yan have laughed at Zhan Xiaoxiao in private more than once. It is also because of Zhan Xiaoxiao's blind obedience that Qin Tai has saved a lot of time and energy, so that Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai can truly achieve the effect of seamless cooperation.
