return of the king

After eating, Zhou Yingli did not leave the dining table but sat in his original position and waited for Zhou Mingren to eat.

Zhou Mingren didn't make him wait long, and asked someone to remove the things in a few minutes.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Zhou Mingren asked.

Zhou Yingli waited for him to finish his meal, he should have something to say, otherwise he wouldn't sit at the table and not leave.

"Well, I have to borrow a few cooks from my family recently. I won't delay the meals at home. I will ask them to help during abnormal meal times, and I will pay them additionally."

"Oh, you decide for yourself, I have no objection." Zhou Mingren readily agreed.

Zhou Yingli nodded to show his understanding.

He didn't seek Zhou Mingren's opinion in the first place, he just told Zhou Mingren his plan.

"Housekeeper, go find the cooks on duty and tell them to do their best for Young Master Yingli!" Zhou Mingren ordered.

"Yes!"

In response, the housekeeper was about to go to the kitchen.

Zhou Yingli stopped the housekeeper, "Don't ask them to come out, I will go to the kitchen to find them later."

"puff."

Hearing this, Zhou Mingren, who was drinking water to rinse his mouth, couldn't help but spit out the water from his mouth.

He knows that Zhou Yingli hates going into the kitchen the most. He has never been in the kitchen. After Duan Li got married, he asked him many times to go in and help serve a dish. Looking for a cook in the kitchen?

Zhou Mingren asked curiously: "What urgent matter do you need to ask them for help?"

"It's not an important matter, but I want to ask them how to cook." The tone was still cold.

Everyone was shocked: Is it important that he wants to learn how to cook? !

Zhou Mingren was stunned for a while, then recovered, and asked in disbelief; "Do you want to learn how to cook?"

"Ah."

Zhou Yingli responded lightly, as if this incident was just an ordinary one.

"Why do you want to learn to cook?" Zhou Mingren asked in surprise.

The housekeeper and the maid nodded together: this is also a question in their minds.

"If you want to learn, go and learn."

Very simple answer, but also a very broad answer, with no substance at all.

"Oh."

Seeing Zhou Yingli's appearance, he also knew that he didn't want to say more, so Zhou Mingren didn't continue to ask.

Zhou Yingli stood up and nodded to Zhou Mingren before leaving, telling him that he was going to learn cooking.

Zhou Mingren suppressed the doubts in his heart, and let himself try to say in a calm voice: "Go."

Seeing Zhou Yingli walk into the kitchen, the cooks were shocked.

"Second Young Master?!"

Although many times they hid in the kitchen and rarely saw Zhou Yingli, and only saw him from a distance a few times, they all saw photos of the master of the Zhou family and were asked to remember their appearance, name, and identity after they successfully applied for the job. , so they knew who Zhou Yingli was when they saw him.

Zhou Yingli nodded slightly, as a response to their call.

He looked around the kitchen and frowned: it was so dirty.

As soon as he came in, he smelled a mixed and unpleasant smell, and it was even more uncomfortable to see the situation inside.

Seeing Zhou Yingli like that, the chef understood what he meant, so he advised, "Second Young Master, do you want to talk to us? Why don't you go out and talk about it?"

He didn't want Zhou Yingli to stay here, so he said that on purpose.

The Second Young Mistress occasionally came in to cook and always complained to them that her husband hated the kitchen and refused to come in, so they all knew that the Second Young Master hated the kitchen very much.

Zhou Yingli lowered his face and said coldly, "Are they all this dirty?"

What he meant was whether the kitchen was always this dirty.

Zhou Yingli's face suddenly turned black when he thought that the food he often ate was made in such a dirty place.

"No, it's not... I just made lunch and I'm cleaning it now." The chef quickly explained.

They clean up every time they cook, and clean the surrounding environment before cooking to ensure that the food is clean.This is also the request made by the housekeeper when applying for the job. If they can't keep the kitchen and food clean, then they can't stay in Zhou's house.

When cleaning, the discarded food will be cleaned out, and the detergent will be poured to make a lot of bubbles, so it will be much dirtier than usual.

However, even if it is being cleaned now, it will be a hundred times cleaner than ordinary kitchens, but Zhou Yingli doesn't seem to think so.

"how much longer?"

"Huh?" The chef made a sound in confusion.

The chef couldn't understand what Zhou Yingli meant, and neither could the others. This sentence suddenly uttered by Zhou Yingli made several chefs puzzled.

"How long will it take to clean?" Zhou Lixi asked in detail.

He is used to saying a few words for people to guess the meaning, but he forgot that the cooks who have never been in contact with him don't understand him, and they can't guess what he means at all.

"Half an hour is enough." After understanding Zhou Yingli's words, the chef replied immediately.

"Half an hour." Zhou Yingli repeated the time the chef said.

He turned around and wanted to leave, remembering that the cook might not understand what he meant, he stopped and emphasized: "I'll come back in half an hour."

"Yes!" The chef involuntarily regarded Zhou Yingli as an instructor, he stood up straight and responded loudly.

"Huh~" It wasn't until Zhou Yingli left for a few minutes that the cooks breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really scared to death. How could someone have such a serious and indifferent expression?

They heard from the second young lady that her husband was very cold-tempered, but they didn't expect him to be so cold-tempered. He was even colder than a puppet, and he was serious without anger, which made them nervous and scared, almost speechless. .

"It's a good thing he's gone," murmured one of the cooks.

He spoke in a low voice, but they could still be heard in the silent kitchen.

The others felt the same way and nodded unanimously: when he came, they felt like an enemy, but when he left, they couldn't wait to cheer loudly.

The chef smiled bitterly: "He is leaving now, but he will be back in half an hour."

As he said that, he woke up with a start, "Hurry up! Clean up 'clean' here quickly!"

The chef specially emphasized the word "clean".

They have been in a daze for a while, and they haven't cleaned for half an hour at all!

When the chef said this, the cooks cleaned up quickly.

What a joke, remembering the terrifying look on that man's face when he came in, if he can't satisfy him, they are afraid that they will be hit by the cold wind of the black alarm!

After cleaning, the clothes of the cooks were soaked with sweat. They were panting like dogs, but they didn't dare to be distracted. They all stared nervously at the door, waiting for Zhou Yingli's arrival.

Zhou Yingli came in not long after. Seeing the brand new kitchen, he still frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with the cleanliness of the kitchen.

But he didn't say anything, as if he knew that this level of kitchen hygiene was considered good, so he didn't force the cook to clean it anymore.

Zhou Yingli didn't speak, and the cooks didn't dare to speak, and they didn't even dare to ask him why he came in.

"I want to learn to cook."

After a long time, Zhou Yingli finally revealed his purpose of coming in.

"Learn, learn...cook?" The chef's eyes widened.

The other cooks were also shocked.

"Well, learn to cook, you teach."

Zhou Yingli said in a calm tone, completely ignoring that he frightened a few cooks by saying such words.

Seeing that they were all stunned, Zhou Yingli thought that they were worried about the reward, so he said: "Teach me, each person will be paid another [-] yuan every month, and after they finish their studies, they will pay a lot of money."

After speaking, Zhou Lixi walked in and looked at the stove and the kitchen utensils on the table.

He picked up a kitchen utensil and turned to the cook, "What's the use of this?"

The cooks came back to their senses, and they all gave the chef a push to signal him to serve first.

The chef stepped forward bravely and said, "This is an egg beater, it can be used for..."

He introduced all the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, not only the name, but also the purpose.

When it comes to things he is good at, he answers fluently, and when facing Zhou Yingli, he is less nervous at the beginning.

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure and wondered if Zhou Yingli could remember all of it, and he couldn't help but sweat coldly.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Yingli, and found that Zhou Yingli still looked calm, as if a lot of new knowledge he said was easy for him to remember.

After that, Zhou Yingli's performance made the chef confirm that Zhou Yingli did remember everything he said, which made him amazed.

"If you want to cook to please a woman, what should you do?"

Zhou Yingli asked shocking words with a cold face.

He just heard from the cook that some kitchen utensils are used to make cakes and biscuits, some kitchen utensils are used to make roast chicken and barbecue meat, some kitchen utensils are used to steam meat and rice, and some kitchen utensils are used for cooking ...

He remembered everything the chef had said, but he didn't want to learn it all.

He thought, instead of learning all of them, it is better to learn one kind.Just learn something more delicious than Zhou Lixi's, so that Duan Li can't refute it.

To please women? !

The cooks looked at each other and secretly swallowed.

"Would you like to learn how to make desserts? Desserts include cakes, milkshakes, etc. Women generally like to eat desserts." The chef chose one and asked Zhou Yingli.

Although the procedure of desserts is complicated, it is relatively easy to learn, with someone to guide you, just cut the ingredients according to the amount. It is not difficult to make desserts, and it is also easy to make delicious desserts. It is rare to invent new delicious styles.

The second young master said that he wanted to please women, so he probably wasn't talking about the second young lady, otherwise he would have listened to the second young lady's words and entered the kitchen a few years ago, and he didn't have to wait for this to be the first time he entered the kitchen.

The Second Young Master did not give the food to the Second Young Mistress, although they felt worthless for the Second Young Mistress, but in order for them to stay in the Zhou family, they did not dare to say anything about the master.

Several cooks were dissatisfied with Zhou Yingli in their hearts, but none of them dared to speak out.

Zhou Yingli rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Does your Second Young Mistress like dessert?"

He often saw Duan Li go into the kitchen to make dinner, but he had never seen her make desserts, but she would occasionally go out to some famous dessert shops outside to eat one or two desserts.

The cooks were stunned: Is the second young lady the second young master who loves to please?

As if to answer their questions, Zhou Yingli asked: "If I make desserts, will your second young lady like it?"

Duan Li went into the kitchen to cook from time to time, and Zhou Yingli guessed that she was quite familiar with the cooks, so she asked them for their opinions.

"Did the Second Young Master cook for the Second Young Mistress?" the chef asked tentatively.

"Isn't what I said obvious enough?" Zhou Yingli frowned.

"No, obviously." It's just that they can't believe it.

"Your answer?" This answer naturally asked them to ask whether Duan Li would like his desserts.

"The Second Young Mistress likes to eat desserts, but she seems to prefer the Second Young Master to cook her a sumptuous dinner. If the Second Young Master doesn't bother you, you can learn how to make a few dishes and the same dessert, so that the Second Young Mistress can finish your cooking Try another dessert after the big meal. I believe she will be satisfied!" the chef said with certainty.

Duan Li often told them that she wanted to eat a meal cooked by Zhou Yingli, so they were sure that Zhou Yingli's doing so would definitely satisfy her.
