Chapter 5: Ascending the Mountain
"Yes! It's been there! The little fat man woke up violently, jumped up and rushed to Su Xiaoqi's side, licking a fat face with meat, and smiling like a flower.
"Auntie, oh no! Sister! You're sure to be able to pass at this level! I announce that my sister will be exempted from the exam in the second round and will be admitted directly! Hey...... I just don't know if I can or not...... Hey hey ......"
Su Xiaoqi raised her dusty little face arrogantly, now she knows that she is good at cooking, right?
But she didn't hold it all the time, after all, she was a newcomer, so she was more modest, modest.
Since people have given her such a great convenience, then she can be regarded as repaying the favor.
So under the expectant gaze of the little fat man, "I know, I'll make you a roast bird, okay?" But the materials come out by yourself! ”
"No problem!" The little fat man saw that Su Xiaoqi promised him, and jumped up happily!
"I want it too!"
"I want it too! Beautiful sister! Please bake one for me, too! ”
"Me too! We make our own materials, and we just ask the beautiful sister to help us bake one more! ”
The gray-robed disciples next to them saw that the little fat man was cheeky and really begged for a roast bird, and they couldn't stay anymore in an instant, and they rushed to Su Xiaoqi's side one by one.
Su Xiaoqi thought that roasting one would be roasted anyway, and roasting ten would also be roasted, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Su Xiaoqi actually agreed to them one by one, everyone happily brushed everyone else down, and directly announced, "The interview is over, the chef has been recruited, and the others will disperse on their own." ”
After speaking, he didn't explain anymore, and directly closed the door of the main hall.
At this time, the second senior brother silently walked to Su Xiaoqi's side and coughed lightly, "Cough, eldest sister, two, pay you." ”
After speaking, he directly stuffed Su Xiaoqi with a string of two realms treasures.
So much? Not to mention roasting two, roasting twenty is enough!
When the others saw that the second senior brother had given the money, they all rushed to take out the money and stuff it to Su Xiaoqi, and after a while, Su Xiaoqi was holding a full treasure of the two realms in his arms.
These exorcists, really...... Aren't they afraid that she will run away with the money?
Although she complained so in her heart, Su Xiaoqi still accepted the money and made an appointment with them that she would prepare the materials today, and go up the mountain tomorrow to make them a good meal.
Everyone nodded incomparably in agreement, and after making an appointment, Su Xiaoqi left.
Early the next morning, Su Xiaoqi came directly to the mountain gate of Xuanyun Palace, because there were too many ingredients, she couldn't move a half-demon with low spiritual power at all, so she could only let those stall owners deliver them to the door.
Soon a large pile of fresh ingredients was piled up outside the door of the main hall of the mountain pass.
"Mrs. Su, you are here, we didn't even eat breakfast early in the morning and came out of the mountain to wait for you!"
After exchanging names, the disciples of Xuanyun Hall all called Su Xiaoqi Su Niangzi.
And Su Xiaoqi knew that the little fat man before was called Li Yongxian, and he was the personal disciple of the five elders of Xuanyun Palace.
The second senior brother's name is Min Xiuyan, and he is the second disciple of the great elder of Xuanyun Palace.
There are several gray-robed disciples, Su Xiaoqi didn't pay much attention, not because she was snobbish, but because there were too many of these disciples, she could only remember a few of the most important ones.
Su Xiaoqi also made a simple self-introduction, telling them that he was a half-demon who came back from the demon world, because his spiritual power was low, and he only liked cooking, so he came here to apply for the head chef.
Mili Tianben is the closest big city to the demon world in the human world, and it has always been a mixed place of demons, even in the Xuanyun Palace, there are exorcists of the demon clan, so Su Xiaoqi, a half-demon, is really tight in their eyes.
And with the blessing of the roast bird yesterday, there was no need for Su Xiaoqi to open his mouth at all, these people scrambled to carry the ingredients up the mountain.
The little fat man Li Yongxian and the second senior brother Min Xiuyan personally took Su Xiaoqi to the Qinghuan Pavilion of Xuanyun Palace.
Qinghuan Pavilion is the dining hall of Xuanyun Palace, which is a three-story pavilion built on the top of the mountain.
"Su Niangzi, this Qinghuan Pavilion is the largest canteen in our Xuanyun Palace, except for the small kitchens of the other front halls, it is the most complete and most ingredient here."
The little fat man pointed to the signboard of Qinghuan Pavilion and introduced it to Su Xiaoqi.
Su Xiaoqi looked up, and there were two columns of words engraved on the two large columns at the entrance of Qinghuan Pavilion.
On the left is, "Brown rice with cabbage and salt."
On the right is, "Clay pot Tianshui chrysanthemum tea".
The pillar on the middle plaque is engraved with the words, "The taste of the world is Qinghuan".
The people who built this building are very elegant.
"This Qinghuan Pavilion is the word that the ancestor himself mentioned back then! Hey, it's just that since the fall of the Ancestor Eater, there has never been any worldly taste in this Qinghuan Pavilion! Now it's an ordinary dining hall. The little fat man said sadly.
Then he smiled again, "Hey, what am I talking about?" Let's go, don't stand here stupidly, follow me. ”
He took Su Xiaoqi all the way to the back kitchen very enthusiastically.
On the way, I happened to pass by the lobby, and at this time, many exorcists from Xuanyun Hall were eating breakfast inside.
Suddenly, I saw the second senior brother and the fat senior brother walking in with a woman!
Female, female?!
There are few women in Xuanyun Palace, and they are usually either family members or relatives and friends, but where did a strange woman suddenly appear?
And went straight to the back kitchen?
Sensing the unusual meaning, everyone stopped eating breakfast and followed the people curiously to see what they were going to do.
Li Yongxian and Min Xiuyan walked in front, Su Xiaoqi followed behind the two, and the ingredients she prepared before had already been moved to the back kitchen by those gray-robed disciples.
"Mrs. Su, this is the back kitchen of our Qinghuan Pavilion, take a look, is it still to your liking? If you feel something is wrong, just let me know and I'll help you renovate! ”
The little fat man smiled and pointed to the huge space in the back kitchen and said to Su Xiaoqi.
The back kitchen of this Qinghuan Pavilion is the back kitchen of Su Xiaoqi after seeing so many modern hotels, and he is still amazed by the furnishings here.
This kitchen is not just one room, but a whole row of bungalows that form a backyard.
With such a large kitchen, there is space for at least ten rooms.
There are more than a dozen large stoves, more than a dozen small stoves for frying small pots, and more than a dozen mini stoves for simmering over low heat.
The washing area is about the size of a room, the cutting board area is also a room, and there is an ice cellar for storing food, a warehouse, a display rack, and so on.
It's just that what makes Su Xiaoqi feel strange is that in many areas of the back kitchen, the stove has not been used for a long time.
Only a few of the stoves are actually working.
"Why are these stoves all idle? Why don't you use them all? ”
If you don't understand, Su Xiaoqi pointed to some cold stoves that didn't even light the fire and asked.
"I don't need so many stoves." The little fat man said as a matter of course.
