The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 98

After Qiao Jiuxiu thought about the dishes, she went to the kitchen to check whether the raw materials were sufficient, and discussed with the chef to see if her idea was suitable for the dinner party.Hongxiu followed behind Qiao Jiuxiu, she was already Qiao Jiuxiu's first-class maid.Usually, when she comes in and out, there are many servants who want to please her.Of course, there are many reasons for this because Miss Nine is now in full bloom, so naturally she wants to curry favor. "Miss just has ideas. If it were someone else, she would definitely not think of the kitchen to listen to her opinions."

"Really?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, she simply felt that she was not good at this, and the chefs in the kitchen were all professionals, so they would definitely be of great help to her. "I just thought I had no experience in this field, so I wanted to find someone to refer to. I don't know if they will let us in later. After all, the kitchen is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

"Miss is not idle." Hongxiu half-joked, "Not to mention the fact that Miss turned the tide last time and helped the kitchen solve the problem of a temporary increase in the price of fresh vegetables at the end of the year. Now that Miss is a popular person next to Mrs., no one dares to stop her You." Hongxiu said while pulling Qiao Jiuxiu into the kitchen.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed helplessly, it is certainly a good thing to get his wife's attention, but he is afraid that the tree will attract the wind and cause dissatisfaction from others.

"Hongxiu, don't be too ostentatious." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly. Of course, this sentence was not only said to Hongxiu, but also to herself.She must always remember to be careful in Qiao's mansion, because if she is not careful, she will be pushed into the river.Although the wife is very satisfied with herself now, it doesn't mean she can indulge herself and favor herself.

"Miss, I understand." Hongxiu nodded, and Miss Jiu's cautiousness made her feel very relieved.

"Miss Jiu, why are you here?" The chef came out and wiped his hands on the apron on his chest, "Miss Jiu is really a rare customer, if you want to eat something, you can send someone to greet you, no I came here myself." He admired Qiao Jiuxiu very much, the last time the problem was so difficult, but Miss Jiu solved it with just opening and closing her mouth, it was really amazing.

"I came here today to ask for your help. I don't know if it's convenient or not?" Qiao Jiuxiu thought that this matter should be kept secret, so that she could surprise his wife when the time came.If she is allowed to know the names of those dishes in advance, then there will be no way to achieve the expected purpose.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu pull himself aside, the chef knew that the question should be more serious, so he also nodded, "Miss Nine, there is no one here, you can tell me what you want to do with me."

"The thing is like this. You should know that my wife asked me to be in charge of the dinner in two days. I think the dishes at the dinner must be good and special, so that the dinner will be different. I came here today to thank you Asked for advice. See how we can throw a special dinner party."

"It turned out to be this matter." The chef nodded, "But Miss Jiu, since it is this matter, why did you make it so mysterious? Why don't I go in and call everyone out, and everyone will brainstorm, and it will be more That's right. And it's not time for dinner yet, they're idle as well, there won't be anything wrong with it."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and what he said was indeed very reasonable, so she nodded slightly, "Then trouble you to go in and call them out. But I want to surprise my wife with this matter, and please keep it a secret then. "

"Don't worry. Our mouths are the strictest." The chef reassured Qiao Jiuxiu, then went into the kitchen, and called out all the people. About ten people surrounded Qiao Jiuxiu and Hongxiu, because before Getting along with Qiao Jiuxiu was very pleasant, so everyone's face was full of smiles.

"Miss Jiu, don't come here without any problems." The second chef said hello on behalf of everyone. "It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Miss Jiu is not a gentleman, so she must visit us often in the future. We will think of Miss Jiu if there is something delicious."

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled embarrassingly, "Okay, okay, I will definitely come here often in the future. I am thinking about the dinner party this time. I want to use some novel dish names to ask for auspiciousness, and I can also win them along the way." My wife likes it. It’s just that I don’t know much about cooking, and I don’t know what vegetables are available in this season, so I just have an immature idea, knowing that everyone here is a first-class expert, so I came to learn from it.”

"Miss Jiu is too polite to say that." The chef chuckled, "You bastards, you will hear me clearly later. Tell me what you think, as long as there is something hidden in the slightest , don’t take a shovel in the future.”

Although a warning tone was used, everyone laughed it off.A slightly older chef thought for a while, "Miss Nine, why don't we cook a vegetarian banquet this time. It can be said that it is to celebrate the eldest lady's favor from the emperor, so I want to thank God and not kill Yes. My wife has always believed in Buddhism, and she will be very happy if we do this."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, this person is the old chef of Qiao Mansion.He has worked hard in Qiao's mansion for more than [-] years, and he knows his wife's preferences and tastes very well. It's just that the vegetarian feast is good, but will it satisfy the long-term tenants?After all, they just want to eat big fish and meat for tooth festival.While it is important to please your wife, you must also please others.

"However, if the banquet is all vegetarian, will the long-term workers think that Qiao's mansion is too frugal? Will this be self-defeating? Will the wife think that we are trying to be lazy?"

When Qiao Jiuxiu said this, everyone laughed, only she and Hongxiu looked at the group of chefs in the kitchen inexplicably, did she say something wrong just now?Why are they smiling so happily? "Well, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing that Miss Jiu doesn't know. It's not easy to make a vegetarian banquet, and the cost is much higher than that of ordinary big fish and meat, and every step is very particular. Qiao's house only held a vegetarian banquet three years ago. Banquet, after that we don't want to do it again, because the process is too troublesome. But since Miss Jiu is in charge of this dinner, we will definitely give you face."

"Is the vegetarian banquet complicated?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, looking at the chefs with some puzzlement. In her opinion, cooking vegetarian dishes is much simpler than cooking meat. Of course, this is only from her layman's perspective. .If you are a professional, you will have your own different opinions.So Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to hear how these professional chefs explained.

"Of course." The chef nodded, "Ordinary vegetarian dishes are very simple, and it only takes half a stick of work, and even complicated vegetarian dishes are ready. But the vegetarian dishes on the all-vegetarian banquet are very complicated, because the vegetarian dishes need to be made into meat. It is a test of a chef’s ability to cook without using meat. Generally speaking, to make a vegetarian banquet, it takes eighteen steps to cook just one tofu, which is very complicated and cumbersome. But the taste is very good, even more delicious than ordinary fish, and more importantly, it has no thorns, and they will definitely be amazed by the time."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded again and again, these chefs were indeed very thoughtful. "It's not only amazing, I'm salivating after hearing you say it. I think everyone will like it very much. It's just that I want to give them a nice name, and when the time comes, they will make a stunning debut, which will scare everyone Jump."

"We are all rough people, let's leave it to Miss Jiu to choose the name. In this way, we will discuss it later and send the menu to Miss Jiu, and then you can think of a name based on the menu." The chef felt that Qiao Jiuxiu was a very good master, so he tried his best to find ways to help her.

"That's really troublesome." Qiao Jiuxiu smiled embarrassedly, there are still many good people in Qiao's mansion, and they will support her desperately. "By the way, is there a problem with the materials? Although it's the vernal equinox now, it seems that there are not many vegetables on the market. Can you guarantee the supply? This time the quantity may be very large."

"You don't have to worry about Miss Nine. Do you remember the vegetable vendor last time? You scolded him severely. We thought we would never do business with him again. How could we know that just after the New Year's Eve, he He came here on a special trip. He said that he had never seen such a powerful little master, and he didn't want to lose such a big customer as the Qiao family, so he signed a long-term vegetable supply agreement with us. So vegetables are not a problem at all."

"Really?" Qiao Jiuxiu was a little overjoyed, "That's really unexpected. I really don't know each other."

"It's not that we don't know each other. It's that Miss Jiu is so powerful. She can even subdue the enemy. Therefore, our group of people admires Miss Jiu from the bottom of my heart. It's no wonder that the wife thinks highly of Miss Jiu. You will manage Qiao's residence from top to bottom. That's a good one. Whoever marries Miss Nine in the future will also be his blessing." The second chef and Qiao Jiuxiu were half joking, although it was a compliment, it didn't mean to flatter at all, it was all from the heart.Qiao Jiuxiu touched her head in embarrassment, and was about to say a few words when Jinxiu ran over.

"Miss, my wife is looking for you." Jinxiu ran out of breath, "Madam seems to be very angry, miss, you must be careful what you say when you get there later, and you must not add fuel to the flames."

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback, and his wife was looking for her again?She couldn't remember doing anything wrong to make his wife angry.Hasn't she been keeping herself safe recently?Even if he came forward to manage the dinner, he still had his wife's consent.What reason does she have to be angry with herself?
