This ice sculpture-themed temple fair was named the Ice and Snow Temple Fair. Yun Yanhui thought about it carefully. Combined with the situation of Daxiangguo Temple, these ice sculptures should show Buddhist scriptures in the form of ice sculptures.
As for the craftsmen, look for them from the sculptors, and they must be familiar with how to use ice as a material in advance.
But there is no hurry, there is still a period of time before the weather is freezing cold, and it is enough to prepare.
Yunyan Hui and Lingran agreed on the time, and asked Daxiangguo Temple to also set up a team to be responsible for this ice sculpture, so that Huichong could connect with him.
After recording the contents of the ice sculptures one by one, they went to see the carvings of the hired craftsmen, and the results were not bad.
At this time, the craftsmen were all very solid in kung fu. Yun Yan looked back at them practicing with ice cubes, and the small animals the size of a slap were already carved.
Hui Chong also asked someone to carve a wild goose on the spot, then pierced the hole to tie the rope, and gave it to Yun Yan: "It's been cold these few days, and it can be stored outside the house for a long time."
Yun Yan looked back at the ice geese with an air of expression, fluttering its wings and flying, lifelike, just like... like...
"Why are you a little fat?"
Hui Chong winked, imitating Zhihe's brother's accent and said, "Because the geese are fat."
Yunyan replied: "..."
Yun Yan glared back at him and pulled the ice sculpture in her hand, "I'm angry, I'm leaving!"
Hui Chong covered his stomach and laughed.
…
Yun Yan returned to Kaifeng Mansion with Bing Dayan, intending to show Bao Zheng the results.
Unexpectedly, Bao Zheng seemed to be talking with someone. When he knocked on the door, after opening the door, Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao were both inside, "Hey, there is something going on in the palace, then I'll come back later."
Zhan Zhao was about to close the door again, but Gongsun Ce raised his hand and said, "Wait...wait, wait, Brother Yan comes first."
Gongsun Ce looked thoughtful.
Yun Yanhui walked in, "What's the matter, Mr. Gongsun."
Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng, saw his nod, and said, "Bianjing often distributes winter supplies to the poor, but a few days ago, the official family introduced the palace to the palace, and asked him to investigate a case in private—someone embezzling the money."
Yun Yan took a deep breath, "What? It's so cold this year, they've corrupted, what about the poor people who can't afford charcoal and silk wool?"
"It is because of this that the official family is furious, but this case has a lot of implications. If you want to uproot it, you can't scare the snake, so you ordered Futai to investigate it secretly." Gongsun Ce said slowly, "We have found the first branch of the Duzhi Branch. In Yang Shiheng, a famous man, this person is a key person, and according to other people's disclosures, he has a secret account, which records the money transactions."
Yun Yan took a step back, "Wait... It seems like I can't finish talking in a while, I'll hang up on this."
Because there was a charcoal pot in the house, it was very warm, so Yun Yanhui hurried to the window to open the window, tied the ice sculpture under the window, and then closed the window and came back to continue listening.
"..." Gongsun Ce continued, "But Yang Shiheng's door is very strict. I tried disguising several times, but I couldn't get in. Zhan guards visited several times at night, but found nothing."
Yun Yanhui suddenly felt that something was not right, but still nodded: "Hmm, so what?"
Yun Yanhui has always been in charge of things like logistics and finance. He doesn't understand things like this kind of investigation, and they basically don't talk to him. Now that he mentions it inexplicably, it naturally makes him feel a little nervous.
Even Bao Zheng didn't understand, "Are you going to ask Brother Yan to deal with his family's clichés?"
"Almost..." Gongsun Ce smiled, "Yang Shiheng is very strict with his family. He usually doesn't let people go out. Even if he goes out, his mouth is very strict, and he can't get out. If you want to get any clues, you have to go inside and check. The chef is hiring…”
When it comes to recruiting people in the kitchen, what else is there to understand? Yun Yanhui breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Gongsun, you said earlier that you wanted me to do it in detail. It's mysterious and scared me to death."
What's so difficult about it, if they dare to send him, will he dare to do it well
Speaking of which, he was a food lover before the time-travel, but after the time-travel, he kept practicing for his own life, and because he held a food festival, he learned more about cooking skills, and now he seems to be half an expert.
Gongsun Ce was also taken aback, "I didn't expect that Yan Ge'er is quite courageous at such a young age."
"I don't really dare to ask for a different mansion." Yun Yan replied with a smile.
At this time, Yun Yanhui found that Bao Zheng's face seemed a little strange.
"What, what's wrong..."
Bao Zheng said slowly, "But isn't their family a cook?"
They felt useless after hearing the news, precisely because they had no cook to send in!
Yun Yanhui was startled, took a few steps back, and put her hands straight, "Mr. Gongsun, I don't play with this..."
Gongsun Ce couldn't help laughing and crying: "What are you playing, I mean, go and prove that you are more valuable than the cook! Only you can do this!"
Before the Song Dynasty, there was no cook who said that all cooks were men.
However, during the Song Dynasty, professional cooks appeared. After some small families gave birth to daughters, they specially trained them in various skills, one of which was cooking, so that they could be sent to powerful families as cooks.
This kind of professional chef's treatment is particularly high, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.
- In other words, people with a bit of identity will choose to recruit cooks.
When recruiting, women are more important than men. If they are cooks and cooks of the same level, others will definitely choose cooks.
After Yun Yan heard Gongsun Ce's words, she breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death, and thought I was going to betray my beauty."
The other three: "… "
Yun Yan replied, "Haha, just kidding."
"What a nonsense..." Gongsun Ce muttered, "Since Brother Yan agrees, sending him is the best choice."
Bao Zheng nodded, "That's right, Brother Yan is smart, you just need to find out the news and report it, and ask Zhan Guard to steal it."
"I know." Yun Yanhui was living for the second time. Although he felt that he was not greedy for life and feared death, he also cherished his own life.
This time, Yun Yan responded readily to the order to go undercover, but she was also a little nervous, mainly because she was afraid that her acting skills were not good enough for Guan Yan to make a mistake. When he went back, he packed up and told Ping Zheng that he was going on a business trip.
Zheng Ping always thought that he would just take care of things in the backyard.
Yun Yanhui was afraid that she would be worried and would keep it a secret for the time being, so he acquiesced.
On the Kaifeng Mansion side, in order to get Yun Yan back in, Gongsun Ce specially made up an identity for him, found a reliable introducer, asked him to use a pseudonym, and then took him to the house of Naduzhi Shilangzhong to apply for a job.
.
One of Yang Shiheng's housekeepers was sitting on the top seat, and when he saw the middleman came with a boy, he was unhappy, "Didn't I say, we're going to hire a cook."
The Yang family originally had three cooks, all of which have been used for ten years, but recently one of them has to relocate with the whole family, so there is a vacancy. The above means, find another cook to fill it.
However, when the news was released, there were also several middle-aged people who brought a lot of cooks, but they were not able to catch them. This time this is even more funny, and brought a kid over.
The introducer hurriedly smiled: "To tell you the truth, I didn't mean to be negligent. This kid has been a cook for several generations. He just came from Hangzhou and is eager to find a job. Although he is young, his cooking skills are outstanding. I don’t know how much better the cook who came to see you in your house, thinking that if he is, he will definitely satisfy the house, so she brought it here.”
When the steward heard this, he was a little moved, and looked at Yun Yan back: "What are you good at?"
Judging from the appearance, it is clear and beautiful, and it looks very pleasing to the eye. When I stand there, it is neither cramped, nor does it make any small movements, and the eyes are not erratic. If it is recruited for other positions, maybe this manager will be accepted immediately.
The young man smiled a little before speaking, and the smile made people feel very comfortable. He said in Bianjing with a slight Hangzhou accent: "You can do both the red case and the white case, and you can make the fruit, but you are not very good at sharing tea. Buttered snails, pan-fried croaker, yokan…”
The steward heard him report a list of dishes, and the first two made him feel moved.
It doesn't matter if you don't know how to divide tea, there are two cooks in the house, both are good at dividing tea.
Butter puffed snails have also become very popular in the upper class of Tokyo in recent years, and it is indispensable for every family to entertain guests, and the pan-fried Hehua fish seems to be simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult to control the heat, just like the time to pick up the ghee puff snails. , these two are very sensitive, but this kid dares to say he is good at it.
If he really can't find a suitable cook, and if he really blows it so well, then it's okay to invite him.
The steward thought about it and said, "Then you can make a table of noodle dishes. Both the buttered snails and the pan-fried Hehua fish are required. The other ingredients are not limited, and you can make four or five dishes."
The young man answered, rolled up his sleeves, walked to the stove and got busy, his hands and feet were extremely neat, apart from the butter-soaked snails and the pan-fried Hehua fish, he also made eggplant gourd soup, steamed anchovies, simmered venison, and smoked fish. Fish roe and other dishes, Calais is also full of tables.
The steward was very happy to see it. In fact, his test began with the selection of ingredients, and this person chose the most expensive and rare ingredients in the kitchen, and then cooked them skillfully.
For this alone, this young man is stronger than many cooks he has seen before. After all, not everyone has enough raw materials to practice.
Including the pan-fried croaker, if it is pan-fried, you have to use a lot of oil to practice, this is not an ordinary kitchen utensil, and ordinary people don’t use oil for cooking.
It seems that the Chinese people are not talking nonsense. This is not a cook for several generations, and I have no work experience at a young age. Can I practice it
After tasting the dishes, the steward nodded again and again.
"Good, good..."
More than good, he was just a little more reserved.
He had tasted the most authentic pan-fried croaker several times at the Daxiangguo Temple Food Festival. What this young man made was beyond compare. It is hard to imagine that the pan-fried crocodile made by a chef from Hangzhou It's so authentic!
Even the cooks in his family couldn't do this. The steward couldn't help but sigh again, the origin of family learning is the origin of family learning.
The introducer was full of smiles, "Look, I'm not wrong."
The steward glanced at him, "Well, what's your name?"
The young man said obediently, "The villain's name is Niu Er."
The steward frowned. A handsome young man called Niu Er so tacky, even a bit like a rogue's name, "Niu Er, right... You can stay in the manor, and we will sign the contract."
Niu Er's white and tender face was full of gratitude: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard!"
Witnessed by the introducer, they signed a tripartite contract, and then took it to the government for notarization. This is the work contract.
