The purchaser and the custodian come together to inspect the ingredients, and there is no third party to supervise?

I shook my head,

"Not like that!"

And the slave and maid beside him said,

"It turns out that in this link, Chef Plum Blossom is here to check it, and now there are many things in the palace, and Chef Plum Blossom is too busy for her."

I asked,

"Does Chef Mei live here, why didn't I see her?"

The slave smiled and said,

"Chef, no, it's the hall master, she doesn't live here!"

"Her family has long been in the Ren family compound in the backyard."

I'm surprised, Renjia compound?

"Could it be the Empress Dowager Renxian's mother's family?"

"Back to my lord, what my lord said is yes and no!"

"Our head chef is the second lady of the third grandson of the Empress Dowager Renxian."

I said land, it turned out that it was because she married into the royal family that she was arranged to be the head chef in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, during the Jin Dynasty, how could a woman come out and work as an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion? And the family background is so superior.

I didn't ask any further questions,

Instead, he set his eyes on the round-faced purchaser Wang Bing.

At this time, Wang Bing was staring at me with small round eyes from afar, looking indifferent.

Instead of going to him, I plunged headlong into the stove.

I'm still thinking about entering the stove,

I didn't expect that Meihua had already married a family, and she was married to Mrs. Renxian's Liang family.

And Wang Bing, who looked at himself with strange eyes just now, is also a member of the Ren family.

It seems that the relationship here is indeed quite complicated.

I followed the steam-filled kitchen passage to the vestibule.

In the corridor leading to the antechamber, there were seven or eight rows of tall wooden boxes, and I could roughly glance at them to see at least seven or eight hundred wooden boxes.

The kind that can be lifted by hand.

There is only an aisle in the middle of these boxes that one person can pass through.

I asked the chef who was passing by,

"Master, what is this for? What is it used for? ”

This is a very old cook, sweating all over his face and saying impatiently,

"Don't you know this? Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and we have to engage in service on the first and fifteenth days of each month! ”

As he spoke, he lifted the lid of a wooden box in front of my eyes.

Inside are pork knuckles, pork knuckles, lamb, rabbit meat, pigeon meat。。。。。。

According to the space of the box, it is placed very plump and neat layer by layer, and the food inside is smoked to oily, red, and very appetizing.

The old chef said, "This is the staple food that we made after working all night last night!" ”

"There are still a lot of staple foods that have not been processed, and after the staple food is processed, let it cool, put it together, and send out all the more than 800 copies tonight!"

"Who are the more than 800 copies for?"

The old chef looked at me, probably thinking that I would become their boss in the future, and he did not shy away from saying,

"It's for those dignitaries!"

"Then these things cost a lot of money, and processing these things will take you a long time!"

The chef said helplessly,

"We don't have much work to eat as a doorman, that's what we should do every day, but to make the non-staple food of the first and fifteenth days of the new year, we have to work overtime and work overnight."

"You said that if you do it early, it will be easy to rot and moldy, and if you do it late, it will be too late."

"We can only do it the day before the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and then we can give it to others, otherwise these officials and masters will find fault with us, and they will criticize us if they find fault with us."

It turns out that He Xiang's Xiang Canteen still has such a service task.

I have a new feeling.

Not to mention how much work these non-staple foods are and how hard the chefs are, but the cost of processing these ingredients for just 800 servings will be twice as much as the food used by 3,000 customers.

I still know this in my heart.

Because I've seen that the food served by these services is all real.

So where did the money come from?

I'd love to see how they do their homework tonight, and that's probably one of the lessons I need to familiarize myself with.

After another turn of the sun, it was about to set.

At this time, the plum blossom came in from the front hall in a hurry.

Look I'm chatting with the slaves, talking and laughing.

Meihua instantly had a cold face, waved her hand at me, and motioned for Liu Bancheng to go back with him, and there was a stove room behind her.

I followed the plum blossom for a few steps, and the plum blossom said,

"In the future, you will chat less with those maids, you just came like this, the impact is not good, hurry up and go back to change into clean clothes first, and then go to serve with me."

I asked,

"What do you serve?"

Plum blossom glanced at me again,

"You didn't see it, you didn't have long eyes, those non-staple foods in the aisle, even if it is dark tonight, even if you work until dawn, we must send these non-staple foods out, this is our duty and task!"

Not too much for a while,

Meihua and I, as well as four male chefs, drove four carriages in the night, and in the entire Xuyang City, began to spin!

I had studied military topography before, and I had a knack for memorization.

The route they drove was basically the outer third ring first, and then the inner third ring.

After sending a circle, come back to pick up the goods, and then send the inner third ring, and then the outer third ring.

I don't understand the plum blossom routine.

The service vehicles do not stop at the main entrance of each house, but run around the main gate to the back door, or the side door.

It's as if there was an agreement in advance.

Every time I go to a house, Meihua will get out of the car alone and pull the door knocker.

Inside the knocker, there will be two or three family members, first probe to identify the person, and then come out to the back of the carriage to unload.

Plum Blossom didn't say hello to them, carried the goods into the door, waited until the door closed from the inside, and then ran to the next one.

I hadn't eaten a bite of food from noon until now, and his stomach rumbled at the smell of the boxes overflowing.

Plum blossom smiled.

Open the nearest box to her.

This box is a little different from the others.

It's not as tall as the other boxes, which are five floors from top to bottom.

This box is three-tiered.

Meihua took out a chicken leg from the top layer of the box, along with a piece of film, and handed it to me.

I think Meihua is a woman with high emotional intelligence.

She could sense from my expression and emotions what you were thinking and what you needed.

She does everything for you so just right.

I finished dinner with the chef in front of us, in the midst of a bumpy ride.

The moon has disappeared behind the clouds.

Pedestrians on the streets are already very scarce.

Most of the residents in Xuyang City have gone to bed with their lights out and gone to sleep.

Four wagons are still running through the streets.
