cook maid concubine

Chapter 17
"Huh? Why didn't I think of it?" He Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up after listening to her, and she looked at her eyes full of admiration: "Thank you, you are so amazing, you actually know me just by looking at me The lack of this dish."

Qian Hongxian's talent in cooking was discovered by Papa Gu very early on, and it can be said that he has fully passed on the other party. Hearing this, he smiled naturally: "My dad is a cook, and I often follow him and watch too much. Learned."

"Really? My father used to be a cook in a restaurant." He Xiaoxiao looked at Qian Hongxian excitedly, but then his eyes darkened: "However, two years ago, he was fired by the restaurant after he injured his hand in an accident. "

Qian Hongxian wanted to comfort her a few words, but she didn't know the specific situation of the other party's family, so she could only smile and say, "You learned your cooking skills from your father, right?"

He Xiaoxiao nodded, with a sad smile: "Well, but since my father hurt his hand, he seldom cooks, and now the family relies on my mother to wash clothes for others to earn some bits and pieces of money. If I can pass today's If you stay in Ji's mansion to be a cook after the assessment, you can get five taels of silver a month, which can be taken back to supplement the family, and my mother won't have to work so hard in the future."

"Don't worry, I checked just now, and the dishes they cook are not as good as yours, so you can definitely stay." Qian Hongxian comforted her in a low voice.

He Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled at her: "Thank you, I know that my cooking skills can only be regarded as average, and it is far worse than yours. But the money here is so high, no matter I would like to give it a try anyway, I heard that the Ji Mansion recruited five cooks two days ago, and I don’t know how many will be recruited today. Maybe I’m lucky enough to stay.”

"So many?" Qian Hongxian was puzzled, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask: "Are there many people in Ji's Mansion? Otherwise, why would they recruit so many cooks all at once?" It's not about opening a restaurant. Under normal circumstances, two or three cooks Mother should be enough, right?
He Xiaoxiao shook her head and said: "I don't know, I just heard that the young master of this family is from Beijing and will live in the city for a period of time. It's probably the rules of rich families. I heard that those big families There are more than a dozen maids in the yard alone, maybe the cook is the same." Then he seemed to think of something, "By the way, my name is He Xiaoxiao, how about you?"

"Qian Hongxian, you can call me Hongxian." Qian Hongxian said with a smile.

Although she has not been here for a long time, she has also watched some TV series in the family's house, and knowing what the other party said is true, she no longer entangles with the number of cooks, and only concentrates on waiting for the final assessment results.

It doesn't matter how many cooks the Ji Mansion will recruit in the end, as long as she can be one of them.

Before the last bit of sand in the hourglass ran out, the remaining few people also came to the butler with their prepared dishes.

The housekeeper glanced at the dishes in everyone's hands, and paused when he saw the three-screw buckle in Qian Hongxian's hand, then nodded in a certain direction behind him, and soon walked out a few people from that direction. People dressed as maidservants come.

The butler signaled everyone to hand over the prepared dishes to these maids, and explained: "Everyone, please wait a moment, my son will taste the dishes you made in person, and those who pass the assessment can come here to sign the contract. Enter the government to report."
