cook maid concubine

Chapter 193
As soon as Qian Hongxian stepped into the east kitchen of Ji Guogong's mansion, he felt something coming towards him, and subconsciously pulled He Xiaoxiao aside, only to find that it was a stinky dried salted fish when it fell on the ground.Before Qian Hongxian could figure out what was going on, she heard a woman's fierce scolding, "Jin Xiaoyun, how many times have I told you not to bring such dirty and smelly things into the East Kitchen."

The other party just finished speaking, followed by another voice that was neither yin nor yang: "What's the use of arguing with me? If you have the ability, you can go to the third wife to discuss it. It was sent by the third wife's natal family. I did it."

The previous voice was followed by a cold voice: "Then take it to the third lady's small kitchen and make it. Anyway, this kind of thing is not allowed in my place."

After the other party's voice fell, Qian Hongxian finally saw the two quarreling people in the room clearly.

The younger one, who was eighteen or nineteen years old, was wearing a fiery red dress with navy blue gold silk embroidered bird knees around his chest, and a golden arm hanging on his body.Oval face, thin lips, high nose bridge, willow-leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, thin waist and round buttocks, open eyebrows and eyes, she is a pungent beauty at first glance.

And it was the other party who spoke earlier.

The older one was dressed as a woman, wearing a double-breasted gown with a tufted pattern on a dark blue background, a cloth scarf of the same color on her head, and a black cloak tied around her waist, and sneered at the woman in red: "Hey, look You are so big, where is your place? I remember that the kitchen manager of the East Kitchen seems to have not changed yet, right? Oh, I remembered, someone thought that if he climbed to the kitchen manager, he could cover the sky in the East Kitchen. Ha, what a big joke. Even if you really become the manager's wife, it's not up to you to have the final say in this East Kitchen. What's more, you are nothing now. I don't know where you came from With such a big face, you dare to call this place your place. What if there is no one in this east kitchen?"

The woman in red from earlier stared at the older middle-aged woman with her willow eyebrows upside down, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and said, "I'm talking nonsense? If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. You and Mr. Chu are in charge of that matter, don't think that others don't know."

The woman in red said with a cold face: "Boss Chu and I are aboveboard."

The middle-aged woman sneered, and replied not to be outdone, "What are you doing upright and fearing others will say it? I can see clearly that there is a ghost in your heart. Could it be that Mr. Chu didn't plan to marry you at all? You put up the pole and post it upside down. You don't want others to know? That's right, Mr. Chu is young and promising, as long as he is not blind, he will not marry a pungent family back home."

"You..." The woman in red blushed immediately from anger.

The middle-aged woman didn't think it was enough, and continued to provocate: "What are you? Since I dare to say it, I dare to admit it. Unlike some people, I dare not admit it when I do it. At a young age, I will imitate others. Die, hanging out with a man before leaving the cabinet, I really don't even care about the face of my parents. If I gave birth to such a daughter, I might as well hit her head to death."

"Jin Xiaoyun, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't tear your mouth apart." The woman in red slammed the kitchen knife in her hand on the cutting board in front of her, her beautiful eyes wide open, full of anger, and she rushed forward at any time. Look for the opponent's desperate posture.

The middle-aged woman's face clearly flashed a trace of weakness, but she said firmly: "Zhang Lan, don't think that I am afraid of you with the support of Mr. Chu. No matter how powerful Mr. Chu is, he is just a kitchen manager. How dare you come here If there is trouble in the east kitchen, the housekeeper will be the first to spare you." Hearing this tone, I am afraid that he has some kinship relationship with the housekeeper.

The woman in red put on a cold face, and said in a tone of fearlessness: "So what? At worst, you will be expelled from the Duke's mansion. But then you will never get half of it."

The middle-aged woman seemed to be a little jealous of her, probably because she was aware of the other party's temperament, knowing that the other party might really do this, a slight panic flashed in her eyes, and then she waved her hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, I don't care about it like you Well, the third lady is still waiting for me to make tremella and lotus seed soup for her, so I don't want to waste time with you here." Then she turned around.

The woman in red also reached out to pull out her kitchen knife.

Qian Hongxian sweated silently. Before, she felt that the competition among the stewards in Prince An's Mansion was already very fierce, but it was only after arriving at Duke Ji's Mansion that he found out that those in Prince An's Mansion were nothing but petty fights.It's not like here, just a few words and you can't wait to fight.

At this time, the boy who came to receive Qian Hongxian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiled awkwardly at Qian Hongxian and said, "These two are Manager Xin and Manager Jin from our East Kitchen. Please come here first, Miss Hongxian." Wait a moment, my family's eldest son will come over in a while."

The two people who had been arguing raised their heads and looked towards the door at the same time when they heard the voice.After seeing Qian Hongxian and He Xiaoxiao, there was a look in their eyes.

The woman in red who was called Zhang Lan stared at her up and down, and then said firstly, "You are the one who the prince said, and he invited the person in charge of the banquet from Prince An's Mansion?"

The steward Jin next to him took a special look at the woman in red, with an expression of watching the show, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I look younger than Mr. Chu. It really is the waves of the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead. I think we old people want to It won't be long before we have to pack up and go home."

Zhang Lan narrowed her slender Danfeng eyes slightly when she heard the words, and frowned almost subconsciously, and looked at Qian Hongxian with a hint of displeasure.

Qian Hongxian is not the kind of silly elder sister who has no scheming at all, so she naturally heard the provocation in Guanshi Jin's words.Her words were clearly implying that the woman in red might replace Director Chu.She is not the kind of person who likes to take the initiative to cause trouble, but she doesn't want to be used as a gunman for nothing, so she smiled and said: "Guan Jin's words are serious. Although Manager Chu is young, he is already a generation of chefs. How can someone like me, who is a genius and a leader in the industry, be able to be compared? Even a few stewards are not qualified to compare with the red line. Who knows that the stewards of Ji Guogong's mansion are all superb in cooking, and I am good at various cuisines, and I was hired by the palace with a lot of money, but even the royal chef in the palace is not as good as one or two. Ji Shizi asked me to come here this time, just for the sake of my family's son, so that I can have a manager with everyone The opportunity to study is just to stay in the palace to cook for my family's heir in the future."

What she said really relieved the vigilance and worries on the face of the woman in red. Looking at her, she reminded her coldly: "Since the prince is looking for you, you should stay here first. But I I want to remind you that every kitchen has its own rules. Since you are standing here, you must abide by the rules here. Don’t enter places you shouldn’t, and don’t touch things you shouldn’t. Also, don't bring any messy things in." After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to take a special look in Jin Guanshi's direction.

Qian Hongxian's first reaction was the salted fish just now. Although she didn't know how that fish offended the other party, she could feel that the other party really didn't like that fish appearing in front of her.

Although the tone of the other party's speech was not very polite, Qian Hongxian could still feel that she had no malicious intentions. At least, she didn't hate her as much as she hated that salted fish. She couldn't help feeling a little relieved, and immediately nodded to the other party and said: "Thank you Zhang Guanshi for reminding me, I will pay attention."

Although she just came to Ji Guogong's mansion to help, as long as she is in charge of today's banquet, she won't stay here forever, but she doesn't want to get in a relationship with the people here.

The latter glanced at her, then said nothing else, and walked into the small kitchen beside him with his kitchen knife.

As soon as Zhang Guanshi left, Jin Guanshi immediately warmed up to her and said, "Don't pay attention to her, that girl just relies on her having an affair with Chu Boss, so she doesn't take others seriously, she wants to make decisions by herself. , so that others have to listen to her in everything, and don't check whether you have the qualifications. You are invited by the prince, so you don't need to look at her face. You can use this East Kitchen as you want. .Also, I am more familiar with you here, if you need anything, just ask me for help, don't be polite to me."

Compared with Guanshi Jin's duplicitous behavior, she prefers Zhang Lan's straightforward temperament, and she is not used to dealing with such people, so Qian Hongxian replied in a vague way: "Thank you, Guanshi Jin."

"I've said it all, you don't need to be so polite with me." Manager Jin pulled her affectionately, and he didn't know how good their relationship was.After a pause, the other party began to ask her: "By the way, I don't know if the prince said anything to you when he came to you? You also know that our Director Chu has won the title of God of Cooking. It's the first time in our mansion that someone else is hosting the party and banquet in the mansion. In my heart, I always feel a little uneasy. Well, the son, he must be dissatisfied with Mr. Chu and us all Bar?"

Qian Hongxian secretly shook off the goosebumps all over her body, quietly took her hand out of the opponent's hand, and reluctantly pulled her lips and said: "Boss Jin thinks too much about things, the son didn't say anything to me, and he didn't say anything to me. There is no dissatisfaction with Manager Chu and the other managers."

"The prince really didn't say anything to you?" Guanshi Jin asked dubiously.

Qian Hongxian shook her head with a smile and said, "No, the prince just wanted to hold a special banquet. It just so happened that I had a similar idea before, so I came here."

"That's it!" Seeing that he couldn't find anything from her, Guan Shi lost the enthusiasm to continue talking with her in an instant. There's still something else to do, let's get busy first."

"Okay." Qian Hongxian nodded, wishing that the other party would disappear soon.
