After seeing Wang Zhi close the space door and leave this world, Jiang Xuehui was not idle, unlike those people she invited, who only had to wait for the banquet to start, as the organizer, she couldn't be idle for the time being.

Walking out of his small building and standing on the steps, what he saw was a scene of people coming and going, full of busy maids, who were putting the finishing touches on the venue.

"How's it going in the kitchen? Are the ingredients ready? Jiang Xuehui asked the little maid who followed behind her, the hot pot banquet was the top priority of her promotion of spices, and there must be no mistakes.

"The delicacies and fruits in the warehouse have been cleaned, the soup is boiling, and there are guards at all times, but ......" said, the little maid's words suddenly stopped, maybe she didn't dare to say the content or it was inconvenient for her to say it.

Hearing this turning point would generally not be a good thing, so Jiang Xuehui was in a very bad mood, and immediately turned around and glared at the little maid: "But what? ”

"The master heard that the kitchen knife you sent to the kitchen was very sharp, and he went to the kitchen to take a look, and then said that he was tyrannical, and took away all the kitchen knives and said that he would smelt them into a sword."

"What?" Jiang Xuehui suddenly blew up: "Why did you only tell me about this now?" ”

Being yelled at by Jiang Xuehui like this, the little maid shrunk her neck a little frightened: "The kitchen just sent someone to report the news, and the slave maid also found out about it just now." ”

"You immediately go over and tell my father to return the kitchen knife to the kitchen, and in a few days I will get him a few pieces of good steel, and make swords, knives and even armor as he pleases, can you tell me the truth?" This kind of thing should have been said by her in person, but now that Yu Linjun has surrounded the back house of Jiangfu, there are people everywhere, and it is not easy for her to go out with this dress, after all, her dress like this is still a little immoral in this era.

"Yes, yes...", the little maid ran away quickly.

I patrolled around the courtyard and the courtyard on the left side of the banquet, and found a few small omissions, and immediately arranged for someone to deal with them.

"How's it going?" Jiang Xuehui asked.

After a little smoothing out, the maid replied: "The master said that the use of good steel as a kitchen knife is a tyrannical thing, and he refuses to return the knife to the kitchen. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xuehui's brows furrowed suddenly, she has been in this era for more than ten years, she knows very well that people in this era are stubborn in some aspects, her father refuses to return the kitchen knife to the kitchen, just because the kitchen knife is made of steel, in his eyes, steel things are divine weapons, even if it is a kitchen knife style, it cannot be used to cut vegetables, otherwise it is an insult to the divine soldier.

If she said it in person, Xiaozhi would definitely be able to say it with emotion and reason, and then tempt her to benefit, but it was basically hopeless to send only a soft-spoken little maid to pass on the word, so she simply gave up the idea of retrieving the kitchen knife from her father's hand, and asked the little maid instead: "Is there a woman among the chefs invited this time?" ”

"Yes, the soup of Zhao Sanjie in the east of the city is notoriously fragrant." The little maid replied, and the sentence contained the name of the female chef and what she was good at.

"Call her over in a moment, and then select four skilled and beautiful cooks in the kitchen, and call them together." Jiang Xuehui instructed, Wang Zhi gave her five sets of knives and ten square-headed kitchen knives that day, but two sets of knives were the kind of knives printed with floral patterns to increase ornamentality, one was a rose and the other was a rose, which was very beautiful, so she kept it, after all, everyone has a love for beauty.

The kitchen was hacked by her father, Jiang Xuehui could only take out these two sets of emergencies, and there were a total of seven knives in a set, namely a bone chopping knife, a slicing knife, a multi-purpose knife, a fruit knife, a sharpening stick and a knife base, there are three knives in one set that can cut meat, and there are six in two sets, and the people who entertained this time are all female guests, and the amount of food is not large, mainly eating vegetables and mushrooms, and the meat is only a small part, and six knives are enough.

Soon, people were brought, Jiang Xuehui received them in the room at the back of the small courtyard where ice cubes and vegetable drinks were stacked, and from time to time there were healthy women carrying baskets of vegetables and fruits out, and baskets of vegetables and fruits were also carried back, which were carried out and cleaned.

Generally, large households, in addition to a general kitchen, each yard has its own small stove, but Jiang Xuehui does not have it in this small courtyard, because she eats snacks made in advance directly when she is hungry, and the general kitchen of the Jiang family is a little far away from her yard, and it is too troublesome to send the dishes eaten during the banquet from the main kitchen, so this is used as a temporary kitchen, and the ingredients required for the banquet are handled here first, and then served to the table.

Standing in the middle of a pile of vegetables, Jiang Xuehui began to say to the few cooks in front of her: "This is the kitchen, you will work here next, your main task is to cut the meat, the housekeeper should have explained before, the meat should be cut into large slices, and the thickness should not exceed the thickness of a grain of rice." ”

Hearing Jiang Xuehui's request, several cooks of the Jiang family did not react, but the external cook Zhao Sanjie spoke: "Miss Jiang, if there is no stainless steel kitchen knife, a certain family does not dare to guarantee that the meat slices can be cut so thinly!" ”

She knew that the stainless steel kitchen knife was taken away by the head of the family, and she didn't dare to guarantee the ticket without a sharp kitchen knife.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and kitchen knives will naturally not be missing from you."

As she spoke, the two maids behind Jiang Xuehui each stepped forward, holding something in their hands, covered with a white cloth, and they lifted the white cloth at the same time, revealing something underneath - a set of knives.

Jiang Xuehui took out a slicing knife from the knife holder, and the pink rose printed on the knife body blinded everyone's eyes at once, and even the healthy woman who was carrying the vegetables involuntarily stopped, looking at the rose printed on the knife and muttering: "This flower is the same as the real thing, and it is still painted on iron." ”

"Miss Jiang, is this knife really for us?" Third Sister Zhao asked in disbelief, but her eyes kept staring at the knife in Jiang Xuehui's hand, full of longing.

Invisible pretending, the most deadly, pretending to be forced, Jiang Xuehui was not satisfied, and continued to pretend, only to hear her slowly say in an indifferent tone: "No matter how good-looking it is, it's just a kitchen knife, if it's not used to cut vegetables, then what's the use?" ”

"Anyway, I'll leave the meat for today's dinner to you, don't let me down."

With that, Jiang Xuehui inserted the kitchen knife back into the knife holder, and then turned around lightly and walked towards the inner room.

This suite, like other wings, is also a living room and a bedroom configuration, if the outside room is used as a temporary kitchen, the inside is the warehouse, Wang Zhi was here yesterday to unload the goods, the foam incubators with ice cubes are here, the foam boxes that were originally stacked together have been tiled to the ground, Jiang Xuehui opened a box, in addition to the ice, there are also a few pieces of meat buried in the ice.

Because she was worried that the chef would not be able to cut the fresh meat thin enough, Jiang Xuehui made second-hand preparations in advance, it was these frozen meats, it was too easy for the frozen meat to be cut into thin slices, and when she opened the ice cubes, Jiang Xuehui poked the mutton inside with her fingers, it was still a little soft, and she didn't know if it would work with the ice cubes alone.

There are a lot of foam boxes on the ground, in addition to frozen meat, there are also cold drinks, Jiang Xuehui randomly checked a few boxes to see if the drinks showed signs of freezing, none of them frozen, and then went back with a bottle of iced tea, the most intuitive way to feel hot and cold is to try it yourself.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and at about six o'clock (half past four), Jiang Xuehui, who was sitting in the attic, heard the voice of the greeter: "Miss Yan Er of Yan Shangshu's family has arrived!" ”

Yan Shangshu is Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry at this time, and the second miss of the Yan family is Yan Xuemei, the second daughter of Yan Lide, because the two families are friendly and there is a snow character in their names, so Jiang Xuehui and Yan Xuemei are absolutely good best friends, hearing that Yan Xuemei is coming, Jiang Xuehui immediately got up to greet her.

The two girls met in the garden, and after a while of sister and sister greetings, they immediately went to the table next to them and sat down, and then immediately a maid came up with a tray, and there were several bottles of drinks on the tray, although the packaging on the bottle has been torn off by Jiang Xuehui, but from the color point of view, it can still be seen that these are black tea, green tea, orange juice, cola, sprite, milk tea and rock sugar pear.

Seeing Yan Xuemei looking at the transparent plastic bottle and unable to take her eyes off, Jiang Xuehui's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she asked with a smile: "Of these seven drinks, which one does my sister want to drink?" ”

Hearing this, Yan Xuemei was stunned for a moment, she originally thought that these bottles were the treasures of this treasure appraisal meeting, and Jiang Xuehui specially took them out to show her, but she didn't expect them to be just drinking, but after all, she is also a child of the family, and she can be regarded as well-informed, so she quickly came back to her senses and said, "The red one!" ”

Seven kinds of drinks, black tea red, green tea green, orange juice yellow, cola black, sprite blue, milk tea gray, and pear white, can be distinguished directly by color, and the maid immediately took out two porcelain cups and poured a cup each for Yan Xuemei and Jiang Xuehui.

Yan Xuemei took a sip, then said with a smile: "It's so sweet, sister, what is this?" ”

"Black tea!" Jiang Xuehui said with a teacup.

"But I didn't taste the tea."

"Because of the lemon and rock sugar, I don't know the specifics, but I bought it from an overseas merchant."

"Dare to ask my sister where the merchant is now, and my little sister also wants to buy some." Sugar was a very scarce resource in ancient times, and even children of families like Yan Xuemei could not eat sugar at any time, so she was a little obsessed with iced tea, which was so sweet to some modern people.

"The merchant has returned to his hometown, if my sister likes it, my sister still has some here, just take some with you when you leave." Jiang Xuehui said indifferently, after hugging Wang Zhi's thick thighs, she can say how much she wants this drink in the future.

"How can this be done...... Yan Xuemei hurriedly excused herself, in her eyes, plastic bottles are a very precious thing, and the price of the drink in this precious bottle must be very expensive, Sister Jiang's family is not as high as her family in terms of financial resources and official position, how can she accept this kind of gift!

"It's okay, you and I are sisters, these things should be regarded as gifts from my sister to my sister!"

"That's... Then thank you sister. Yan Xuemei wanted to continue refusing, but after all, she was still a teenage girl and couldn't resist the temptation of sweets.

"Nothing ......"

Then, Jiang Xuehui chatted with Yan Xuemei, as a former online author, Jiang Xuehui's knowledge is not broad, and Yan Xuemei was stunned for a moment, and finally led the topic to painting: "There are four kinds of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the first three sisters have dabbled in it, and recently I want to make up for the fourth one, so I began to learn the way of Danqing, I heard that Ling Zun and the second uncle of the Yan family are good at Danqing, I don't know if I can find the two authentic works, so that I can figure it out at any time." ”

"This matter is easy, I will send someone to my sister tomorrow." Without thinking about it, Yan Xuemei patted her chest and agreed, a few paintings she painted by herself are really nothing, her father and second uncle's study are everywhere, and it is a matter of one sentence to ask for a few.

"There's Sister Lao." Jiang Xuehui hurriedly said, in this way, Yan Liben's painting will be in hand, and Yan Lide's can be added.

"It's okay to ......"

When the two girls were about to continue talking, the voice of the greeter sounded outside the courtyard gate: "Princess Xiangcheng has arrived, Princess Runan has arrived, Princess Nanping has arrived, Princess Sui'an has arrived, and Princess Changle has arrived." ”
