Chapter 105: Be honest

Views:

The next day was the deadline given by Boss Sun, but Boss Sun didn't come all day. Everyone could finally relax after being tense for several days.

When it was dinner time, Xiao Lu happily ran into the kitchen.

"Brother Yao, you are going to be busy today."

"Are there guests on the third floor?" Ye Jiayao asked casually.

"The private rooms on the third floor are all full. Young Prince, Third Young Master Xia, Prince Yong'an, and many, many more people." Xiao Lu said.

Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment: "Who's treating me?"

Xiao Lu said: "It seems that the young prince himself has a group of guests, Young Master Xia has a group of guests, Prince Yong'an has another group of guests, and there are others."

Ye Jiayao is confused, what is going on

"Which private room is the young prince in? Let me go and have a look."

"Fuchi Pavilion is occupied by Mr. Xia San, and the young prince is in Hengwu Pavilion."

Ye Jiayao went straight to Hengwu Pavilion. Ah Xing was serving tea. Ye Jiayao asked him to call the young prince out.

After a while, He Lianjing came out with a cheerful face: "Yao Yao, I was just going to find you!"

"Chunfeng and Zhao Qixuan are also there, did you know?" Ye Jiayao asked.

He Lianjing smiled and said, "I know, we bumped into each other when I came in. It's my first day as a errand, so I invited a few colleagues over for dinner."

"What about them?"

"Chunfeng was invited to dinner by his colleagues, Zhao Qixuan came here to discuss business, and the others, ahem... you saw them yesterday. They probably admire you, so they came to support you." Helian Jingchao pursed his lips at the bakery, He actually saw Mr. Liu coming. After Liuli teased him and made him sick, he was like the daughter of a boudoir and could not leave the house.

Ye Jiayao's head was full of black lines. When she saw the big battle, she thought there was another emergency, but it was fine since it wasn't.

"Okay, I'm going to cook." Ye Jiayao turned to leave.

"Yao Yao." He Lianjing stopped him and said, "Let's go to the lake together in the evening! I've booked a boat, and Chunfeng and Qixuan are also going.

Ye Jiayao smiled softly: "I guess I won't have the energy to swim in the lake tonight."

There were seven private rooms, seven large tables of food, and Zhong Xiang asked for leave again. When the work was over, she still had the strength to walk home without worrying about which lake to swim in.

He Lianjing said: "Swimming in the lake is not swimming? What kind of strength does it take? Everyone is going, it would be a disappointment if you don't go, go ahead!"

"We'll see when the time comes. If I don't have the energy, I won't go." Ye Jiayao said perfunctorily.

Back in the kitchen, seven menus were placed in front of her. They were full and full of big dishes, which was laborious and labor-intensive.

Ye Jiayao cheered up, rolled up her sleeves, and fired up.

"Deng Haichuan, kill the eels, Wang Mingde, Pian Wuhua, Cui Dongpeng, chop the meat, Jiang Youli, serve the cold dishes..."

Ye Jiayao assigned the tasks and cut the eggplant into segments by herself, dug out the eggplant meat inside with a special tool, minced the eggplant meat, stirred it with minced meat, minced mushrooms, minced garlic, etc., mixed the ingredients, and sprinkled Knead a little cornstarch and stuff it back into the hollow eggplant segments, arrange them segment by segment and steam them in the pot.

The shark fin, which has been foamed until soft, is stewed in the pot with the boiled stock.

The roasted duck, skinned, served with cucumber shreds, green onions, thin dough that Zhong Xiang had baked long ago, and a small plate of dipping sauce she prepared herself. The way to eat Peking duck is still quite new in this era.

The oil in the pot is already hot. Add the carrot slices, magnolia slices and green pepper slices cut into rhombuses and stir-fry until they are six times cooked. Place on a plate, then add the black flowers and stir-fry. Control the heat, mix in the fried carrots, stir-fry twice, and immediately Remove from the pan. Sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic in oil until fragrant and thicken the sauce, and pour it over the udon flowers. The pork belly made in this way is tender, smooth and refreshing.

When the black flower was finished here, Ye Jiayao changed the stove to fry the eel, and someone immediately went to clean the pot.

She never stops changing pots, and doesn't waste a moment in making overall arrangements. She makes all the ingredients based on experience, and there is no need to taste them. The several chefs who work for her have a tacit understanding, and they don't need her orders at all. They can tell just by looking at what she is doing. What should they do next. A steady stream of delicacies with full color, aroma and taste are presented to the table.

After finishing the last carp leaping over the dragon gate, Ye Jiayao threw the spatula away and it was done.

I kept spinning for more than half an hour. At that time, I was fully focused and didn't feel tired. Now when I relax, I feel like I'm seeing stars.

Being a chef is definitely a tiring job. I can't understand why those chefs have such shiny faces and round waists and bulging bellies.

"I'll leave the rest of the work to you." Ye Jiayao ordered and found a chair to sit down and rest. Her waist was particularly sore today. Are relatives coming? It seemed that the time had not come yet. Ye Jiayao thought for a while and finally found the culprit. It was all caused by that stupid donkey. It was too cruel and looked like a wild beast.

Ye Jiayao was complaining when Ah Fu came to send a message, saying that the guests from Narcissus Pavilion upstairs invited her to meet them.

"Guest of Narcissus Pavilion? Who?"

Ah Fu said: "That man calls himself General Chu."

Ye Jiayao remembered the general who was blinded in one eye by Liuli.

Damn it, I'm so low-key now that I want to crawl into the cracks of the ground. Can you, the former victims, please stop tormenting me? I don’t care about being a hero.

"If you don't go, just say I'm busy." Ye Jiayao refused.

"I told you, General Chu, I will wait for you to finish your work."

"You might as well say I'm going to call it a day and go home." Ye Jiayao felt that she really should run away, otherwise Xiaojing would have to take her to swim in the lake later. She was so exhausted that she couldn't swim in any lake.

Ye Jiayao left immediately.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the kitchen, he saw the one-eyed general blocking the door. When he saw her coming out, he bowed his hands and said, "Brother Li Yao, Mr. Chu personally came to invite you."

Uh... blocked.

Ye Jiayao returned the gift and pretended to be confused: "Does General Chu have something to do with Li? Are you dissatisfied with the dishes?"

"No, no, the food you cooked is the best Chu has ever tasted. I am very satisfied, extremely satisfied." General Chu spared no effort to praise.

"Where is the general? Li is ashamed to praise the general. You are welcome to come and visit us."

"That's for sure. You have a bad temper with me and the food you cook suits my taste. I will definitely come here more often in the future. Brother Li Yao, the brothers upstairs want to see you. How about it? Give Chu some face?" General Chu said.

Ye Jiayao said sarcastically: "Um... Li has been busy all night. Can you let me go to the toilet first?"

She wanted to use urine to escape, and when the time came, she could just find an excuse to reject it.

General Chu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "After you said that, Chu became anxious. Let's go. Let's go together."

Three drops of cold sweat dripped down Ye Jiayao's forehead, Damn, who wants to go to the toilet with you

"Yao Yao." When Ye Jiayao was in trouble, He Lianjing walked downstairs, followed by Chun Feng and Zhao Qixuan.

General Chu quickly saluted He Lianjing.

Helian Dingding nodded as a return gift and asked Ye Jiayao: "Are you done with your work?"

Ye Jiayao was worried about how to get rid of General Chu, and said hurriedly: "We've finished our work. Why, have you all eaten?"

"That's almost it. They have to sit there for a while longer. We are going to go swimming in the lake first. Let's go together!" Helian Jing said.

Ye Jiayao thought to herself that if you can escape the first day of the new year, you can't escape the fifteenth day. Rather than being watched by others with General Chu, it is better to go swimming in the lake with Xiao Jing.

"Okay! I happened to be sweating all over, so let's go and get some air." Ye Jiayao followed suit.

Seeing that Li Yao and the young prince were gone, General Chu could only sigh secretly. After hearing what happened yesterday, his brothers all wanted to see this clever and courageous cook, so he specially made a host for him today. , to satisfy the curiosity of the brothers, but who knows, they still failed to meet.

After leaving Tianshangju, walk about a hundred steps to the left and you will see a pier. The boat has already been waiting at the pier. Ye Jiayao hesitated and said: "Xiao Jing, I won't go. I'm too tired."

Xia Chunfeng said: "Didn't you just say you wanted to enjoy the wind? The wind on the river is very comfortable at night."

Ye Jiayao said angrily: "I did it to get rid of that General Chu, who insisted on inviting me to his private room, or to publicize what happened yesterday? This matter was finally suppressed, and I don't want to cause any more trouble. "

He Lianjing was also warned by his eldest brother yesterday to keep a low profile and said: "Zhao Qixuan, you are very familiar with Chu You. You can talk to him in private. Even if the incident is over and you feel comfortable, don't spread it everywhere to avoid unnecessary trouble." I can’t save the other eye either.”

Zhao Qixuan said: "No problem, I will go find him tomorrow."

"Yao Yao, go and sit down. Since there's no one else around, just take a rest." He Lianjing looked at her expectantly.

Xia Chunfeng half pushed and half pulled: "Go, go!"

The hospitality was hard to refuse, so Ye Jiayao had no choice but to get on the boat. She didn't see the tacit and cunning smiles of the three people behind her.

The boat floats along the waves quietly in the reflected stars, the guqin plays melodiously, and the singing sounds gentle. I lean on a comfortable wicker chair and hold a cup of tea in my hand, which is quite leisurely.

Zhao Qixuan changed the subject first: "Yesterday I was worried that you would be punished, but who would have thought that after a false alarm, you would be allowed to pass so easily."

Xia Chunfeng snorted and said, "Why are you shocked? Xiao Jing and I were shocked. We both broke into cold sweats. You don't know how dangerous last night was."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but pricked up her ears. She also wanted to know the specific situation.

"Really? Tell me, how did you pass the test?"

He Lianjing took a sip of tea and sighed: "Hey, there are twists and turns."

Ye Jiayao glanced at him: "What's the point? Just tell me quickly."

He Lianjing said: "First tell me where you and Brother Chunyu went?"

That's right, we invited Yaoyao to the boat today just to interrogate him and Brother Chunyu. What's going on? After he got home last night, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.

Xia Chunfeng said: "Yes, I saw my brother driving you away."

Ye Jiayao murmured, her ears feeling a little hot, and she hesitated: "I didn't go anywhere. I just found a place where no one was around and asked me what happened."

"Hey, I'm very loyal. I didn't say it was your idea, but it was originally my idea." Ye Jiayao curled her lips.

The three of them looked at her with disbelief.

Ye Jiayao felt guilty when they looked at her, and said bluffingly: "What are your expressions? Could I still lie to you?"

Zhao Qixuan always observes more carefully than others: "Li Yao, your ears are red."
