cook maid concubine

Chapter 190
"Before making braised pork, marinate the meat with a little borax. The meat is fat but not greasy, sweet and delicious. And these chestnuts should be scalded with boiling water before peeling. It will be easier to peel. Stir-fried vegetables Sometimes, you need to order dishes with boiling water, so that the fried dishes will have bright colors and taste better. If you order dishes with ordinary water, it will affect the crispness.”

In the kitchen, Qian Hongxian taught He Xiaoxiao how to cook, and at the same time told her some tips he had learned from cooking in the past.

He Xiaoxiao listened with gusto, and her eyes became brighter and brighter at Qian Hongxian, until she was full of admiration in the end.

These things cannot be summed up without many years of cooking experience. Some people even regard it as their own cooking secrets, but she taught herself so easily.

During this period of time, Lin Yuyan was not around, so He Xiaoxiao simply moved in to live with Qian Hongxian. At the beginning, she thought she shared a room with Lin Yuyan, but she was also worried that the other party would make trouble.

Now the relationship between the two is better than before.

After that day, Ji Nanjin didn't know what she did, but Manager Li didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

However, for some reason, since she was in charge of cooking for Ji Nanjin, Jin Garden no longer sent maids to pick up the meals, and she had to deliver them in person every day.

As a result, she and Ji Nanjin met more times every day, which was contrary to her original idea of ​​keeping a distance from each other.

She also asked He Xiaoxiao to deliver it several times, but most of the things she delivered each time were untouched, so she had to go back and ask him if the food was not to his liking.

After going through this for a few times, Qian Hong didn't bother He Xiaoxiao at all, so she went to deliver it by herself.

As soon as Qian Hongxian put the dishes on the table, he heard a familiar voice say: "It smells so good, it seems that I came at the right time." Then a figure floated into the room and spontaneously sat down on the seat opposite someone. After coming down, he greeted Qian Hongxian unceremoniously: "I also prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks for my master. I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for a long time."

Qian Hongxian looked at a certain evildoer who was more casual than entering his own house, amused and helpless.

This guy clearly came here on a meal schedule, so he had the nerve to pretend it was a coincidence.I really don't know how this man's face is grown.

Qian Hongxian quickly set the table and chopsticks for him. These tasks that were originally done by maids are becoming more and more convenient for her now.

Ji Shuxuan smelled the fragrance in the air, and said to Qian Hongxian: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and your craftsmanship has improved again. What should I do, after eating your dishes, I am getting more and more dissatisfied with our old Chu." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and looked in Ji Nanjin's direction half strangely and half resentfully.

Who is Lao Chu?

Qian Hongxian was surprised when he heard Ji Nanjin say: "The kitchen manager of Duke Ji's mansion. The last master of cooking, named Chu Jin."

Qian Hongxian didn't expect that he would specifically explain to himself, and looked at the other party with a little surprise, but quickly withdrew his gaze.

Ever since Lin Yuyan's incident, Qian Hongxian has intentionally or unintentionally avoided Ji Nanjin.One is to avoid suspicion. After all, there are already enough rumors about her and Ji Nanjin in the mansion, and I don't want to cause more topics for others.Secondly, I don't want the old lady to trouble her.

If it was possible, she would rather give up the job of cooking for Ji Nanjin to others, but she was afraid that if she did that, her adoptive father's return would affect his status in the mansion.That's why I had to insist on running to Jinyuan every day.

"By the way, I came here today to ask for your help." Qian Hongxian froze for a moment before realizing that Ji Shuxuan was speaking to her.

Asking her for help is nothing more than two things, one is cooking, and the other is seeing a doctor.If it is the other party, the first possibility is more likely.

Qian Hongxian said: "If there is anything, Shizi Ji just say it."

Ji Shuxuan raised his eyebrows, and said with a monstrous smile: "We are so familiar, so we can't change our address? Ji Shizi, Ji Shizi's, it's too strange, isn't it?"

Qian Hongxian tentatively called out: "Then, Xiaosan?"

Ji Shuxuan's face turned dark immediately, and he gritted his teeth and stared at her: "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Qian Hongxian put away the smile on his face, and said to the other party sternly: "Your servant is just a cook, and I dare not go beyond the rules. Please don't embarrass your servant."

Ji Shuxuan snorted, and said slightly threateningly: "Is it just the cook? Then we talked about the matter of keeping the media..."

Damn guy, actually threatened her with that matter.

Qian Hongxian gritted her teeth in her heart, and before the other party finished speaking, she took a step ahead and called out flatteringly, "Ah Xuan."

Only then did Ji Shuxuan show a satisfied expression, smiled like a fox, tapped her on the head with the handle of a fan and said, "That's right, from now on you will call me Axuan, and as for me, I will call you... Hong Hong How are you?" Hong Hong, Hong, your sister!

For the first time, Qian Hongxian complained in her heart that Qian had given her this name.What's wrong with calling it, it's actually called the red line.

Fortunately, the other party is a matchmaker. If she was a pig butcher, wouldn't she be called a pig heart, pig brain, pig lung or something like that?Just thinking about it gives goosebumps all over my body.

With a dark face, Qian Hongxian said with a grim expression: "Let's talk about the business directly!"

Ji Shuxuan was also afraid that he would really annoy her, so he put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "That's right, that fellow Lao Chu is playing hand-to-hand with me again. There is a banquet in the mansion in a few days, can you help me?" a favor?"

"Help? What can I do?" Ji Guogong's mansion held a banquet, how could he have nothing to do with him?
Ji Shuxuan fiddled with the fan in his hand, and said casually: "It's nothing, the main thing is to go to the kitchen to take charge of the overall situation, and just make up your mind."

"Are you kidding me?" She clearly remembered that Ji Nanjin had mentioned before that there were several other kitchen stewards in Duke Ji's mansion, and all of them were proficient in cooking.Even if the kitchen manager quits, it's not her turn to be a little cook from outside to preside over the overall situation, right?Besides, she has no experience in hosting banquets at all, and she doesn't understand the rules of their big families, so she is more likely to make a fool of herself if she goes there?

She did not forget the lesson of foie gras last time.

Ji Shuxuan explained: "It's not a formal banquet, but my mother invited some friends to the house as guests. I think this time I can hold something special, just like the peach blossom banquet you held last time, so I specially told you My mother took the job. I issued a military order in front of my mother, saying that it will definitely be done, you won't let me break my promise in front of my mother, will you?"

Qian Hongxian refused without thinking: "There are so many managers in your mansion, all of whom are more experienced than me, how can I be used? It's the same if you leave it to them."

As soon as Ji Shuxuan mentioned the kitchen stewards in the Ji Mansion, Ji Shuxuan immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "They? All of them only know how to strive for success, and have no improvement in cooking skills. I just want to let them see what is beyond the sky. There are people out there, what is real culinary skills? It saves them all from being self-righteous and proud of their achievements all day long. They think how great their culinary skills are."

If you dare to use her as a living target, then she will refuse even more.But before she could speak, Ji Nanjin said from the side: "Auntie, in the name of appreciating flowers, invited some wives who have girls of the right age at home. There will definitely be more young people at that time. You go and see." That's fine too."

Qian Hongxian's eyes lit up when she heard the words, could it be what she thought?
Last time, I heard Ji Nanjin say that Ji Shuxuan's mother was helping him find candidates. At this time, he invited those girls who were about to marry to his home. To put it bluntly, it was a blind date banquet specially held for that guy.

This is a good opportunity to appear in Ji's family to help someone keep the media.It's just that it's okay to ask her to help in the kitchen, but letting her take charge of the overall situation, isn't it obviously forcing her to sow hatred!

Qian Hongxian was tangled for a while.

Seeing her hesitation, Ji Shuxuan instigated from the side: "Actually, you don't have to do anything, you just need to be responsible for coming up with ideas, and someone else will do the specifics. Of course, it would be even better if you are willing to cook yourself. but."

Qian Hongxian hesitated and said, "Let me think about it."

On the one hand, it is what I want to do, but on the other hand, I am afraid that I will make a mistake halfway, and it will not only lose her person, but also the face of Prince An's Mansion.

She can't make up her mind for a while.

"Okay, then you can give me the answer after you finish this meal." Someone said happily.

Qian Hongxian twitched the corners of her mouth, and her face darkened instantly. What's the difference between this and forcing her to make a decision now?
However, Ji Shuxuan didn't seem to think there was any problem with his decision at all, and continued to encourage her: "Don't worry, with me around, no one would dare to make things difficult for you. Besides, there is also Ah Jin, who treasures you so much, even if I don't If you come forward, he will not allow others to bully you."

"Will the crown prince go too?" Qian Hongxian turned around and asked in surprise.

Ji Shuxuan raised his eyebrows, with an expression of watching the show, and looked at Ji Nanjin's direction playfully: "Of course, this banquet was thought up by her mother and my mother together. Do you think he can avoid it?"

"So, the eldest son is also going on a blind date?" In other words, she can settle the marriage of the two at once.

In that case, she must go to the banquet.

Ji Nanjin glanced at him calmly, and said unhurriedly: "That's mainly for you, I'm just going through the motions. But you, don't disappoint my aunt's kindness, choose a good candidate as soon as possible, and finalize the marriage That's right, my aunt will worry about you again."

When Ji Shuxuan mentioned this, he couldn't help becoming irritable, and even lost his appetite for eating, so he simply went to the soft couch behind him and said: "This is also the second reason why I came to you. No matter how you say it, we both wear a pair of pants. Brother who grew up, you have to think of a way for me no matter what. My mother made up her mind to get me a woman this time, and I am almost annoyed to death. "
