Chapter 14: Oily Noodles (2)

Seeing that Wen Mingtang should be down, Jiang Laosu couldn't say anything more.

His eyes swept to the group of miscellaneous servants in front of him, and when he fell on one of them, a young man who was fifteen or sixteen years old and had a somewhat delicate appearance, Jiang Laosuo beckoned to him and said, "Ah Bing, you ...... with you" Jiang Laosuo's fingers shook in this group of miscellaneous servants, and finally selected the girl who ran to call Ji Caimai, and said, "You can follow Wen Xiaoniang with her!" ”

The cooks of all the Yamen chefs in Darong should be assigned two handymen to start with.

Ah Bing responded when he heard this: "Yes, Uncle Jiang!" ”

can call Jiang Laosuo "Uncle Jiang", it can be seen that this young man named Ah Bing and Jiang Laosuo know each other.

probably felt that Wen Mingtang had been cheated by the truth, so Jiang Laosuo specially ordered Ah Bing to help her, so as not to have two more troublesome lazy men in the matter of miscellaneous assistants.

With Ah Bing, a "backstager" in her, she can save a lot of trouble.

Ji Caimai naturally didn't know what was going on, but he didn't stop it.

He didn't plan to pit this new chef in these matters, but he was just "demanding" higher, and he didn't want to recruit any more messy people, such as Chef Zhou's crooked minds before.

After ordering Ah Bing and the little girl to be Wen Mingtang's helpers, Jiang Laosuo said hello to Ji Caimai and turned to leave.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Wen Mingtang: "If Little Lady Wen has anything to help, just come to find Lao Er!" ”

Of course, it is good to listen to such kind words, Wen Mingtang is not a person who does not know the number of etiquette, and nodded and thanked him.

Zhang Caimai was inconvenient to interject from beginning to end, and now, seeing that Jiang Laosuo was leaving, he didn't want to stay long, but before leaving, he said to her: "If you have anything to do, you can still come to the old place to find me!" ”

Compared with Jiang Laosuo's politeness, Zhang Caimai's words are sincere.

There is still a year before Yuerou leaves the palace, and he has to take good care of the "niece" that Yuerou asked him to take care of.

After Jiang Laosuo and Zhang Caimai left, Ji Caimai glanced at her and said, "Then tomorrow's breakfast will be made by Little Lady Wen, okay?" ”

Wen Mingtang responded.

Ji Caimai took out a large handful of keys, turned around and walked out: "Come to the warehouse with me and pick out the ingredients you will use tomorrow." ”

The treasury of the chef of Dali Temple is at the back of the canteen, and a large copper lock is hung on it, and the key to the copper lock is on Ji Caimai's body, and he distributes the ingredients that the chef needs every day.

Wen Mingtang took two small followers to follow Ji Caimai into the warehouse, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the neat ingredients packed in the warehouse.

The main food is placed on the ground in large wooden barrels with a note on the outside of the barrel indicating what is stored in the barrel.

Wen Mingtang swept it away at a glance: rice, millet, flour, red beans, mung beans, and other categories are complete and numerous.

Rather than staple foods on the ground, vegetables and meat are placed in the cellar at the bottom for easy preservation.

Wen Mingtang glanced at the staple food part of the warehouse, and was about to go to the cellar with Ji Caimai to see vegetables and meat, but Ji Caimai only stood at the mouth of the cellar, pointed to the dazzling vegetables and meats inside, let her take a look, and then said with a smile: "It's unfortunate that Little Lady Wen came, my chef in Dali Temple buys every ten days, and the vegetables and meat purchased each time are quantitative, and the master who cooks lists the list and buys them by classification." The last purchase was two days ago, and there are eight days left before the next purchase......"

Wen Mingtang knew that "it was unfortunate that Little Lady Wen came" when he heard Ji Caimai say, "Trouble" was coming.

Sure enough, when Ji Caimai said that "there are still eight days before the next purchase", he stopped, and then said with a sad face: "The first morning food was made by Master Wang and Master Sun of the public chef in turn, and the two of them did not have any dishes and meat on the menu of the morning food, so they ......."

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang understood: "So, I can't move the vegetables and meat in this cellar for the time being, it is the vegetables and meat set by the two masters, I have to wait until the purchase eight days later to make a list and ask Ji Cai to buy vegetables and meat?" ”

Ji Caimai nodded, knowing in his heart that he had indeed given her a problem, looking at Wen Mingtang's thoughtful expression, Ji Caimai remembered that this little lady had never complained from the beginning to the present, and after thinking about it, she was still a little soft-hearted, so she said: "I'm afraid meat is a little rare!" However, vegetables and eggs are brought from Zhuangzi every morning, but the vegetables and meat will not be known until the same day. Little lady Wen, do you think this is okay? ”

In all fairness, today's play is indeed suspected of being difficult and dismounting.

Can...... He really didn't mean it!

Very few officials of Dali Temple come to eat morning food, and many times no one comes.

No one came to eat, so I didn't bother to bother! When Chef Wang and Chef Sun take turns to cook morning food, they either make white flour steamed buns or noodles, or boil some porridge, with vegetables and eggs sent temporarily, and stir-fry them casually. There are few people who eat left and right, and they want to be full, and very few people care about these.

There are other people who will really eat these morning foods honestly.

Ji Caimai told Wen Mingtang the truth: "The chef officials of Dali Temple don't eat much court food, and they also eat the prisoners who were arrested in the prison. It's monotonous, and no one will speak. ”

This meal is almost equivalent to being specially prepared for the prisoners in the prison.

But which prisoner who has entered the prison of Dali Temple can still have requirements for food? They are all in prison, and some of them are even sentenced, and they can't even speak, what can they say about the morning food?

As long as you don't eat the dead!

Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of the chef of Dali Temple are obvious.

The disadvantage is that she is not asked to show her cooking skills, but the advantage is that people who can eat are not picky eaters, and she will have no opinions on what she does.

This is really a very suitable position for "messing around" and easy to be overlooked.

Wen Mingtang smiled at Ji Caimai when he heard this, and said "Okay".

In this way, Wen Mingtang, the chef of Dali Temple, is temporarily settled.

After introducing Wen Mingtang around, Ji Caimai turned around and left.

Seeing Ji Caimai leaving, Ah Bing, who was following behind Wen Mingtang, immediately said, "Isn't Master Ji deliberately trying to make things difficult?" There is nothing here, what else can you do other than white flour steamed buns, boiled noodles and white porridge? ”

"Yes! There are only a few things for this morning food, and Master Wang and Master Sun also fooled around casually! The twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl sighed, worried, and said, "It's hard to make any tricks!" ”

Da Rong's morning food is indeed not much, this point, Wen Mingtang, who went back to the breakfast shop this morning, has a deep experience.

However, these are not afraid of her, and there are not too many breakfast patterns in the future! Even if there is only staple food these days, she can conjure up countless tricks.

Thinking like this, two men who looked like servants came over and knocked on the door frame outside the storeroom.

The three people in the treasury heard the sound and looked over, but they saw the two servants and asked, "Which one is the new master of the court?" ”

Wen Mingtang stood up and said, "It's me." ”

The two officers looked at her, as if they were a little surprised, and muttered, "Why are you so young?" ”

However, after muttering this sentence, without waiting for Wen Mingtang to speak, the two of them opened their mouths to clarify their intentions: "Tomorrow, a group of prisoners in the prison will be escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department. I'll come over and say that tomorrow's breakfast should be made for breakfast and lunch, and you should be full. Don't cook those gruel, lest you go hungry and ask people to complain about the abuse of prisoners in our Dali Temple! ”
