Looking at the plaque hanging above the dining room, Chu Qiao took a deep breath. She would start from here and go on step by step until she reaches the truth and retires with success.
Lian Yun was probably frightened by Chu Qiao's words just now. He was not as noisy as before. He would look back nervously as he walked.
Entering the dining room, preparations were already in full swing. Eunuch Ping just came out. The new cooks and assistant cooks were standing aside. Chu Qiao and Li Yun quickly stood at the end of the line because they were late.
, so I didn’t dare to raise my head.
Eunuch Ping walked to Chu Qiao's side, stayed for a moment, and only said one sentence.
"It's not easy to stay, so work hard."
"Yes, father-in-law."
Chu Qiao naturally understood what Eunuch Ping meant. He was already trying his best to help her. The next step was up to her. Eunuch Ping quickly left the dining room, leaving only a dozen newcomers at the door waiting to be assigned work.
At this time, a fat man in charge walked over with a white towel wrapped around his neck and a gray hat, shaking his body.
"Later, please watch the time later and don't be so unruly. Although ours is an external dining room, we can't be vague at all."
The fat man said angrily, this is Mao Dasong, who manages the distribution work in the imperial kitchen. Because he is fat, some people call him Mao Daqiu behind his back. He is a fifth-level senior chef. In addition to cooking, he also orders the cooks and kitchen servants to do work.
Lianyun quickly explained and revealed a little surprise. The maid in the original room died and they were a little afraid to go out.
"You damn palace maid, I see how scared you are, just get used to it. Okay, now I'll assign you to work."
Mao Daqiu raised his eyes and looked at Lianyun. He didn't have a good impression of this small-eyed palace maid, but when he looked at Chu Qiao, his eyes were the same. Speaking of which, the newbies who entered the imperial dining room today were only two women.
This new female chef looks pretty and pretty. She doesn't really look like someone working in the kitchen, but she looks like...
Mao Daqiu was good at his craftsmanship, but he had a big mouth. He narrowed his eyes, laughed, and looked at Chu Qiao up and down.
"I didn't expect that there would be a handsome one. At first glance, I was shocked. I thought she was a beauty from some palace. Please give me a try."
Give him a hand? Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment. This big hairy ball is a fifth-level senior chef. He is qualified to give him a hand. This is not a job that a cook can do? Isn't he talking nonsense here?
Chu Qiao was really surprised, and even Lianyun's eyes widened. As a cook, she was at best working for level six and level seven chefs and assistants. Why did Chu Qiao get the upper hand instead?
"What are you looking at? Are you not convinced?"
Mao Daqiu glared at Lianyun and continued to give instructions.
"Your name is Lianyun. Eunuch Ping has been responsible for delivering meals to the ministers. As for helping out and cooking, I don't need you."
"Yes, Lianyun knows."
Ling Yun lowered her eyes and stood aside, as if she had already expected to be assigned this task, and was not surprised at all. However, she stood aside, still staring at Chu Qiao, somewhat confused, how could Chu Qiao be able to
It's against the rules to serve as a subordinate to a senior chef.
The other kitchen workers were all ordered by Mao Daqiu to wash vegetables, pick vegetables, and practice cutting vegetables. There were also those who helped the chefs wipe their sweat, and a few cleaners, but none of them did such a good job as Chu Qiao. The newcomers were all indignant.
No, Chu Qiao's face obviously has the advantage.
In fact, it is true. This big hairy ball is not a eunuch. He is twenty-two years old. He has been busy with the palace's meals and has not found a wife yet. How can he not be anxious? Seeing that Chu Qiao is handsome and cute, he naturally became interested.
, arrange for her to be by your side, and you can also have a first-come-first-served position near the water.
How did Chu Qiao know about his purpose? She only got into trouble and helped a fifth-level senior chef.
But Chu Qiao immediately became energetic when she heard Mao Daqiu say "sending meals" to Lianyun.
Lianyun's job didn't sound as good as hers, but it was what she wanted to do in her dreams.
No, she had to find a way to deliver meals, even if it was just a chance. Her heart became anxious, why could such an errand not be her turn?
"Okay, let's get to work!"
Mao Daqiu's eyes were so wide that they were about to fall out, and he roared fiercely.
"Don't underestimate the imperial kitchen. This is the road to the imperial kitchen. If you want to rise to the top and serve as the imperial chef for the emperor and ladies, you must start from the simplest things honestly. If any of you does not perform well, I will
If Mao Dasong says a word, you will get out!"
After saying that, he shook his strong arms, and when he turned around to look at Chu Qiao, his eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile.
"Come with me and learn to chop vegetables first. If there's anything you don't know about, just ask me!"
As he led Chu Qiao inside, a group of dissatisfied eyes came over. There were quite a few single chefs here. Who didn't know Mao Dasong's purpose? It was Mao Dasong who had the final say in assigning new people to work.
All I could do was stare.
Chu Qiao followed Mao Dasong, looking around as she walked. Although there were many people here, every process was in order and things were placed neatly. The imperial dining room in the palace was different.
After walking for a while, Chu Qiao suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Boss Mao, Chunxiang would like to ask if I can deliver meals to the ministers?"
"Why, you don't want to be my helper?" Mao Dasong was a little unhappy and his eyes widened again.
"No, no, I'm asking, is there such a chance?"
When Chu Qiao asked this, Mao Dasong misunderstood even more. He glanced at Chu Qiao with disdain. He didn't expect that this beautiful girl was a daughter of a small palace with evil intentions. She wanted to change her own destiny by delivering meals to the ministers?
The daughters in the palace all hope to see the emperor and the prince. Even if they can't see the emperor, they can't see the prince. It's good to meet the important officials of the court. Well, if you can be a decent wife, the worst thing is that you can be a decent lady.
A concubine is better than leaving the palace at an old age and finding someone to marry.
Mao Dasong got angry and said unhappily.
"When I entered the dining room, I actually had this idea in my mind. No way, let's go to work and cut all these vegetables. This one should be cut horizontally, that one should be cut vertically, and this one should be cut three times like this. Don't make a mistake.
!”
Mao Dasong was originally in a good mood when he asked such a beauty to help him. But now when he heard Chu Qiao's question, his good mood suddenly disappeared and he threw all the dishes to Chu Qiao angrily.
Chu Qiao picked up the kitchen knife, sorted the dishes, and thought to herself, is there something wrong with this fat man? Just ask, if not, forget it.
