Chapter 9 I became a cook again
In the courtyard of the Zhao family, in a relatively remote small courtyard, seven or eight people wearing uniform blue cloth clothes stood on the small stone lawn, lined up in two rows, listening to the lecture of a white-haired old man opposite.
These are the new cooks recruited by the Zhao family this time, and the white-haired old man opposite is Zhang Bo, the kitchen manager of the Zhao family.
Song Tao was also mixed in with this mortal queue. No matter how long Uncle Zhang said, he was absent-mindedly thinking about his own affairs.
This method of concealing cultivation is really very easy to use, there is a unique spell of concealing aura in the spell imprinted in his mind by the fire unicorn mother, which is unfolded by Song Tao but happens to conceal his cultivation, and now Song Tao seems to be only cultivating to the second phase of agility, despite this, it is still very eye-catching to appear in the queue of these mortal cooks. Just now, the kitchen manager Uncle Zhang couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
“…… All right! I won't say anything else! As if seeing everyone's impatience, Uncle Zhang shook his head, sighed and said: "In short, we have only one responsibility as cooks, and that is to cook well!" I don't want any of you to go beyond your duties! Do something you shouldn't do......" said while glancing at Song Tao meaningfully. But I didn't know that this kid was still wandering in the world, and he didn't listen to what he was saying!
In this way, Song Tao began his career as a cook in the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family really deserves to be a big family in the mixed Yuan realm! The kitchen alone is divided into three places, namely the inner kitchen that cooks for the elders and elders of the Zhao family full-time, the small kitchen that cooks for the disciples, and the master chef who cooks for mortals and some servants in the family who are not suitable for cultivating immortals. And Song Tao is working in the chef at the moment, which also makes him very depressed, what he sees every day is either a servant or a mortal, when will he be able to achieve his goal if he mixes like this! However, the Zhao family is a family cultivator, and they do not accept disciples with foreign surnames, so Song Tao can only be in a hurry......
The Zhao family has a daughter, named Mingyue, born a genius, and extremely smart and studious, it is said that she was only eight years old and cultivated to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Period, and became the object of the Zhao family's key training! Everyone speculated that she would be the next head of the Zhao family!
In a pavilion and water pavilion, in a quiet courtyard full of lotus flowers, Zhao Mingyue combed her hair in a double bun, dressed in pink, sat on a bamboo collapse next to the lotus pond, and looked at the bamboo slips seriously.
The ears unconsciously heard the conversation of the maid guarding the gate of the campus.
"Xiao Ning, what do you think we'll eat tonight?"
"How do I know! But that dish from yesterday was really delicious! If you eat an extra bowl of rice, you're really afraid of gaining weight! ”
"You just ate an extra bowl? I ate three bowls of rice! In the end, the mother-in-law who served the meal laughed at me! ”
"Hee-hee! You're a piggy! ”
"The main thing is that the new chef cooks so delicious! By the way, what did he say was that? What tenderloin? ”
"Sweet and sour tenderloin! Stupid girl......"
……
Zhao Mingyue couldn't help but lose her mind a little, what is so delicious? can make these girls who cherish their bodies and usually only eat a few grains of rice go crazy!
After all, she's just an eight or nine-year-old girl! Can't hold back her curiosity, Zhao Mingyue put down the bamboo slip in her hand and called softly: "Xiao Ning! Little Dan! Come here, I've got something to ask you! ”
The two little maids, who were about eleven or twelve years old, heard Zhao Mingyue's cry and hurriedly ran over.
"What were you talking about?"
"Miss!" Xiao Dan looked at Zhao Mingyue, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid, don't look at this young lady's age, but she is born with a kind of majesty, which makes people dare not be presumptuous in front of her!
"We're just talking about yesterday's dinner!"
"What sweet and sour tenderloin? Is there a new chef in the house? Was it a new dish he invented? Zhao Mingyue asked curiously, why hadn't she heard of a new chef, and if it was such an excellent cook, how could she be among the chefs?
"Yes, I heard that his name is Song Tao, since he came, the mother-in-law who steamed rice always complained that everyone ate too much, and every time the steamed rice was not enough! His craftsmanship is truly amazing! I've never eaten anything so good! As soon as she said this, the maid named Xiao Dan couldn't help but talk with her eyebrows.
"Oh? Is it really that delicious? What is that? ”
"The slave and maid can't say it, it's pork, but he makes it different, sweet and sour, crispy and crispy, and it tastes delicious!" As he spoke, Xiao Dan narrowed his eyes, and his saliva was about to flow out, as if he was going to keep reminiscing about the delicacy!
Pork? It's actually sweet and sour? And it's delicious? Zhao Mingyue felt very incredible, and couldn't imagine what this would be! I've never eaten anything so weird since I was a child? I couldn't help but throw the book away and asked, "What time is it?" ”
Xiao Ning said respectfully: "It's going to be the unitary time soon, miss!" ”
Oh! That means it's time to eat? Zhao Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to dinner with you today!" I'd like to see what difference he makes! ”
"Ahh Miss! This ......" Xiao Ning exclaimed, the Zhao family has strict rules, how can a person of Miss's status go to the place where the next person eats! It would be great if it was known from above!
"Why not?" Zhao Mingyue suddenly turned cold and glared at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning didn't dare to say more, so he had to say to Xiao Dan helplessly: "Xiao Dan, then you go and inform Xiao Chef, Miss is not feeling well today, so she won't go to dinner!" ”
Zhao Mingyue nodded with satisfaction, she was still a child after all, and she took the lead towards the chef as soon as she jumped.
"Song Tao! Can you stop making it so delicious! Granny Wang, who was steaming rice, looked at a large pot of vegetables that Song Tao had just fried out of the pot and said helplessly: "The amount of rice used by our chef this month is twice as high as last month!" I don't know if the above will be unhappy! ”
Song Tao said with a smile: "Granny Wang, as a chef, how can you deliberately make dishes unpalatable!" I can't help it if everyone loves to eat...... "In fact, I was secretly happy in my heart, Song Tao thought for a long time before thinking of this method, although the Zhao family is everyone, and all kinds of raw materials in the kitchen are sufficient, but this is the world of cultivating immortals, no one deliberately pursues the appetite, and there is no excellent chef, let alone delicious dishes, so I just make more dishes unique to the human world, after a long time, the people in the mixed metaverse are shocked when they taste it, and if it goes on like this, it can always attract one or two upper-class characters! Then you will have a chance to achieve your goal!
"Xiao Song! What a dish you made today! Even Zheng Bo, the backyard manager who has always been cold-faced, couldn't help but smile at Song Tao's dishes after eating them for a few days, looking like a good brother!
"Fish-flavored shredded pork!" Song Tao picked up a big spoon and scooped a big spoonful of vegetables into Zheng Bo's bowl while announcing the name of the dish, and Zheng Bo suddenly smiled like a flower. "Uncle Zheng is not enough to eat, I'll keep it for you!" Song Tao took the opportunity to say flatteringly.
"Good! Good! Zheng Bo replied again and again, and while picking up the bowl, he went to find a place to taste it slowly.
Before it was time to eat, the servants and handymen crowded into this small courtyard in twos and threes, lined up in front of Song Tao's pot, frolicking and waiting for Song Tao to share the dishes for them.
"Let's Jean! Let's make it! Xiao Ning shouted loudly as soon as she came in, for fear that Zhao Mingyue behind her would be displeased to see her at the end of the line, but she didn't expect that the people in front of her didn't turn back, and no one paid attention to her at all!
"Xiao Ning! Don't scream! It's okay for me to wait! Zhao Mingyue stopped her, silently stood at the end of the team, and slowly moved with the snake-like team.
Not to mention, this smell is indeed very unique, Zhao Mingyue sniffed lightly, it was very fragrant! The smell made her swallow her saliva, and she had an urge to eat a few large bowls of rice on this dish. She poked her head out again to look at the big bowl held by a subordinate walking by, and saw that the white rice was covered with a ball of bright red dishes, with shredded meat, fungus, and bamboo shoots, which smelled spicy and salty! There seems to be a faint sweetness! Not to mention how tempting it is! Looking at the people who finished the dishes one by one, they couldn't wait to hold it and eat it, and praised loudly while eating!
Xiao Ning couldn't help but stretch his neck to look forward, swallowing saliva again and again, looking like he wanted to eat.
Finally, the team finally photographed Zhao Mingyue in front of him.
Song Tao looked at the little girl in front of him, who was wearing a pink dress with a bun on her head and a pink carving, and was ecstatic in her heart, as if she had finally waited for the person she was waiting for! This little girl looks by no means ordinary, not to mention the unique aura of the monks around her, just look at the maid next to her holding out the gold-inlaid jade food box that holds the vegetables, you can also see that this is the upper echelon of the Zhao family! However, Song Tao didn't show any expression on his face, just smiled and served a small plate of dishes for her.
"It's Miss Zhao!" "Miss Zhao Mingyue? How did she come here? At this time, the whispers of the servants kept coming, and it was obvious that many people had recognized her.
Zhao Mingyue didn't care, and turned around and left with Xiao Ning with a smile......
