There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 243 (Second update)
When Steward He learned that they were coming, he immediately came to greet them.

"Ah, Mrs. Li, Xiaoguan Luo, you came early." Butler He said with a smile.

It was still two quarters before Mao time.

"No, are you afraid of missing Mr. He's affairs? Get up early and do things without rushing." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Steward He was very satisfied with Li Jiaoniang's approach, and said, "I'll take you to the kitchen first, and after a while, I will call some servants to go.

They will all listen to your arrangements.

In addition, there are two women in charge who will also be arranged in the kitchen. They pass on the message and arrange the serving of dishes. If there are any temporary requests in the front yard, they will pass them on to Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li must cooperate with them. "

"I understand." Li Jiaoniang nodded.

Talking, they have come to the kitchen here.

It was still early, and the kitchen was already busy.

The candlelight illuminated the kitchen brightly, and several cooks were cleaning, brushing, chopping and chopping quickly.

Steward He walked to the door of the kitchen, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone stop first, come out."

The eight cooks and two servants stopped their busy work and walked out of the kitchen one by one.

All of them stood in front of Butler He in an orderly manner.

Chef Li and Chef Zhang had met Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng before, the corners of their lips twitched with disdain.

When the others saw Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng, they began to discuss in low voices.

They had heard about Li Jiaoniang's abilities from other servants, but they had never seen her in person, and there was some disbelief in their eyes.

Li Jiaoniang saw it and didn't take it seriously.

Steward He walked to a higher step, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Everyone, stand up and introduce to you the chef invited at home." He pointed to Li Jiaoniang and said, "This Lady Li is."

Everyone looked at the past together, with different expressions.

"From now on, all of you have to listen to Mrs. Li. If anyone is disobedient..." He coughed lightly, "You know the master's temper. The master is not easy to get angry, but when he gets angry, You have seen the consequences.

A nobleman came to the mansion today, the master valued this banquet very much, so he specially invited Mrs. Li, who is an excellent cook, to cook, so there must be no mistakes, do you understand? "

"Understood!" Several people replied in unison.

"Okay, let's let Miss Li arrange things." Steward He nodded to Li Jiaoniang.

This time, everyone came to the spirit.

Because Li Jiaoniang is too young.

To say that she cooks well is only because she has the basic skills, and there are quite a few people who know the basic skills.

But when it comes to arranging things, can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl arrange things well?
You know, the two cooks are old enough to be Li Jiaoniang's mother, and they are all in their forties.

The others, the youngest, were also in their twenties.

All of them are older than Li Jiaoniang.

Everyone took their time to look at Li Jiaoniang, to see why she couldn't get off the stage.

Li Jiaoniang smiled slightly, walked up the steps, looked at everyone, and said, "I'm new here, please take care of me."

In the crowd, someone smiled.

Look, please take care of it.

Luo Cheng glanced at everyone, the people in this mansion are really bad, what are you laughing at!

The skill of his young lady will definitely make you drop your eyes!
Someone said perfunctorily, "Madam Li, please just arrange things."

"Well, I'll arrange it." Li Jiaoniang coughed softly, "Cook Lady Li and Cook Lady Zhang have been working in the kitchen and know how to cook. They will be my assistants."

The two answered, "Yes." Quietly, but the corners of their lips curled up.

"In addition, there is washing dishes, who will come?" Li Jiaoniang looked at the crowd, "Two people are needed."

Several people looked at each other, and two women came out, "We."

"What's your name?" Li Jiaoniang asked.

"My name is Gui Niang."

"My name is Lianzhi."

"Gui Niang, Lian Zhi, you two just wash the dishes, don't bother with anything else. For example, whoever told you to wash the dishes first, or light the fire, don't bother." Li Jiao Niang said.

Lianzhi asked, "Then what about the fire burner rushing to the latrine? Wouldn't he help?"

Li Jiaoniang said, "The one who burns the fire has to go to the latrine, tell me, and I will arrange someone to replace it, so you don't want to leave your post without authorization.

Otherwise, if one of you went to do something for another, and that one went to do something for another, wouldn't it be all messed up?

I want a bowl here, and I want to wash the vegetables, who can I go to?I missed the first dish, Master He blamed me, what should I say?Of course, I will not cover up, I will tell the truth.Don't you think so, Lianzhi? "

she said, smiling.

Mingming is not very old, but his smile is very mature.

Lianzhi became a little scared.

"Yes... yes." She quickly replied.

"Next, I will arrange for people to wash the vegetables..." Li Jiaoniang went on to arrange people.

Her memory is very good. When people report their names, she remembers them all just once.

There are people who wash vegetables, and people who kill and wash fish.

The arrangement was very orderly, and the butler He on the side listened and admired it very much.

All the servants were also surprised.

Li Jiaoniang looked at Butler He, "Butler He. The menu I wrote yesterday, the master didn't change anything in the end, right?"

Butler He smiled and said, "No, just follow the menu. If there are any temporary additions, the master will notify you." He took out a few more copies of the list from his sleeve.

"Miss Li, here are a few lists, one is the twenty you mentioned yesterday, the master made arrangements for which dishes to serve first and which ones to serve later, and marked them with serial numbers.

Mrs. Li must do it in order.

In addition, this one is a menu arranged for ordinary neighbors.How to serve the dishes and what to serve first, Mrs. Li arranges.What about this one?It was arranged for the relatives of the He family, and the order of serving dishes was also arranged by Mrs. Li. "

There are three menus arranged?
Li Jiaoniang was surprised.

Refresh her view of the ancients.

The difference between classes is fully displayed here.

Li Jiaoniang took it in her hand and looked at it. The other two menus were all ordinary dishes, only the ingredients were written, and there was no instruction on how to cook them.

It was far worse than what she arranged yesterday, with less meat and more vegetables.

What a savings, Li Jiaoniang secretly smiled.

"Understood, please ask Steward He to transfer the message to Master He, and Master He will definitely not be disappointed." Li Jiaoniang laughed.

"That's it, Miss Li." Steward He bowed his hands to Li Jiaoniang, bowed his hands to Luo Cheng, and left.

He completely left the kitchen to Li Jiaoniang.

"Okay, things are arranged, let's leave first, after a while, I will write some specific things to arrange." Li Jiaoniang said.

Three menus, some parts are the same, but most of them are completely different.

She had to list the order of cooking to ensure that the three types of guests had food to eat and would not sit empty.

Being so busy, it was halfway through the morning before I knew it.

In the front yard, there was a magnificent carriage parked at the door of He Zhai.

There had been a servant to welcome the guests, and he rushed to the back house, and sent a message to Yuanwai He.

He Yuanwai immediately took his son and several elders in the family to greet him.

"Welcome Qin Xiaoxianggong, Mu Yanei, and Wei Daguan to come to the humble house."

A youth in Chinese clothes about 15 years old stepped out of the carriage first.

The other two who got out of the car afterward were also young and well-dressed young men, but they were slightly older than him, both around 20 years old.

The young man in Chinese clothes looked at the lively He Zhai and said with a smile, "Mr. He, it's the second time we meet, so you don't need to be so polite."

Near the gate of He's house, someone whispered, "Do you know? The youngest and most gorgeously dressed is the grandson of Qin Xiangguo in this dynasty. His name is Qin Xun."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. In May, he came to our He family once as a guest."

"Wow, Qin Xianggong's grandson, I heard that he is very knowledgeable."

The discussion between the two caught the attention of a young man in white behind Qin Xun.

He glanced at those people lightly, showing a contemptuous smile.

"Come in, please. The three nobles came to celebrate my mother's birthday, and they made the humble house flourish." Member He smiled and welcomed the three of them inside.

Everyone talked and laughed, and walked into He Zhai together.

He Yuanwai led the three of them to meet Mrs. He, and then led them into an elegant small hall.

He smiled and said, "The mansion has hired a new cook, and her cooking skills are very good. Then, invite the three of you to try something new."

Another young man in a lake-blue gown shook his head while holding a cup of tea, "Not long ago, in a tavern in the market ahead, I had a bowl of fish fillet soup, which was very delicious. It's a pity, the tavern's The shopkeeper has changed. I can’t eat that dish anymore.”
