A palace steward hurried through the crowd with small steps and headed straight for the kitchen.
Before I even walked into the kitchen, I could hear the busy cooking sound in the distance.
"Go, go, go, go to work, what are you doing around here!"
Seeing the guards and slave girls standing outside the kitchen door with their heads peeking in, the steward immediately spoke and dispersed all these people.
While the steward was cursing, his saliva was about to leak out unconsciously. He couldn't help it, the smell was so fragrant, the aroma coming out of the kitchen was so tempting.
Just one sip of it makes you feel like there is a spring under your tongue, especially the sweet and sour smell, which makes you want to eat it first.
The steward stuck his head out and took a look.
I saw the cooks in the back kitchen busy in full swing. In order to prepare for this banquet, the chefs alone had prepared more than ten people, and there were even dozens of people preparing for the banquet.
Among them there are many famous chefs from Da Yueshi.
However, the strange thing is that there is only one cook responsible for cooking.
The wood fire was in full swing under the three large iron pots. Wang Gouzi was responsible for the three large iron pots by himself, and there was another stove next to it.
As for those famous chefs, they were standing behind Wang Gouzi and could only serve as assistant cooks.
But even if you are a helper in the kitchen, you are still standing at the back according to seniority. The senior ones can come closer to pass the dishes and clean the plates.
Young people, have you seen those cutting vegetables next to you? Even famous chefs have to cut vegetables honestly at this moment.
If it is not cut well, Wang Gouzi will throw it back unceremoniously.
At first, some people were unconvinced, but after Wang Gouzi took action himself, everyone shut up.
Knife skills are the basic skills of a cook. You can tell the level of a cook by looking at his knife skills.
When Wang Gouzi changed his method and used only two kitchen knives to kill these famous chefs, he was dazzled by the show.
Who dares to say no?
As for why he didn't cut the vegetables himself, in Wang Gouzi's words, it was because the kitchen knives here were not enough, otherwise why would he need these wastes to cut vegetables?
If you can't even cut vegetables, just get out of the kitchen and stay where it's cool.
I didn't see such a big kitchen, and there were only a few people left to help Wang Gouzi.
The manager came in from the outside and stood aside to watch. I don’t know how long it took. His eyes seemed to be possessed, staring straight at Wang Gouzi’s figure in front of several stoves.
The look of being at ease.
I feel like watching him cooking is more attractive than watching those dancing girls.
Until Ding Xiaoyi glanced at him and asked with a look of disgust: "Is something wrong?"
The steward was startled, and then he suddenly woke up. When he looked again, he found that the clothes on his chest were wet with his own saliva.
My mind suddenly became excited, and then I remembered what I was doing here.
He immediately said quickly: "The Moon King is very satisfied with your previous dishes and wants to see you!"
If it were anyone else, he would have already put down his work in excitement at this time and would be about to leave.
Just based on the steward's tone, it is not difficult to guess that this person must be greatly rewarded. King Dayue's wealth is astonishing. Even if he waves his little hand and bestows a reward, it is enough to make someone rich overnight.
However, Wang Gouzi didn't even raise his head and said coldly: "No time."
"Er!!"
For a moment, the smile on the steward's face froze, and he reminded in a low voice: "Listen clearly, it is King Dayue who invites you to receive the reward!"
The manager was afraid that Wang Gouzi wouldn't understand, so he made a point of speaking more straightforwardly.
As a result, Wang Gouzi's eyes were filled with disgust on the steward's chest. He resisted the urge to kick the person away, frowned and said: "It's not rare, are you done? After you say it, get out of here!"
"you!!!"
Dayue Kingdom does not have the position of eunuch. The minister in charge of affairs is equivalent to the status of the eunuch who holds the seal next to the emperor.
He lowered his eyebrows and came to invite a cook. He didn't expect that the cook would be so arrogant, and his face immediately fell.
He glanced at the stones on the ground, then picked up one and threw it at the iron pot: "You ungrateful thing, I want you to cook!"
However, before the stone even got close to the cooking pot, it was knocked back directly by the iron spoon in Wang Gouzi's hand. The stone, which was about the size of a fist, hit the steward's head impartially.
In an instant, there was only a scream, and the manager let out a scream, and then he fell to the ground and started wailing, covering his broken head.
"Rebellion, rebellion... Even you dare to hit me, you are simply rebelling, you guys, you arrest him, arrest him!!"
The steward covered his head and screamed like a slaughtered pig.
If Sardar were here, he would be mourning for his stupid behavior at this moment.
Because a long time ago, when Sardar was still roaming the sea, he had heard that just someone kicked over the soup cooked by Wang Gouzi, and as a result, no one in the entire village except the underage children was spared.
For a cook, if you scold him, he may not bother to pay attention to you.
But if you scold his food for being rubbish, obviously things are not that simple.
The steward covered his head and wailed on the ground for a long time, but no one came to help him, and the surroundings were even more eerily quiet.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong.
Wiping off the blood on his face, he opened his eyes and saw Wang Gouzi staring at him with a cold face.
Those silent eyes stared at his whole body, as if a cold air was pouring in along the collar of his back, and it was cold inside and out, and he suddenly shivered uncontrollably.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the kitchen door was slammed shut.
The cooks who had been working just now put down their work and silently gathered around with their kitchen knives in hand.
“What are you thinking??”
Seeing this, the steward's face turned pale, and he pointed at the cooks who were surrounding him and screamed: "Are you crazy? Who dares to lay a finger on me, I will kill his whole family!"
In the past, not to mention these cooks, even the princes and nobles in Dayue Kingdom would not dare to provoke him easily.
But today, it was precisely these cooks whom he usually looked down upon that made him feel unprecedented fear.
Amidst his angry voice, he saw an unnatural look of madness in the eyes of a cook. He suddenly raised the kitchen knife in his hand and chopped it head-on.
"ah!!"
The steward let out a scream, and immediately one of his arms was cut off in half. The pain was as painful as his heart, making all the muscles in his body tremble uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the pain did not last long, and other cooks began to swing their kitchen knives.
It was different from killing pigs and sheep in a clean and neat manner. It was just a chaotic slashing, and the screams of the steward's voice suddenly stopped.
Only the chaotic and dull sound of chopping meat echoed in the yard...
