Chef [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 05: I Work as a Cook in a Brothel

In early winter and October, there is a lot of dew.

Winter is the off-season for restaurants. Shangjing is located in the north, so it is colder than other places. The Nephrite Restaurant, which has been booming for two months, is still full of customers every day, because the shortage of ingredients brought about by seasonal changes has not brought Zhang Xiaobai much. Influences, those who are good at books do not choose their pens, and a cook like him is not too picky about the ingredients, not to mention that if there is nothing missing in winter, there will be no lack of meat.

When he was in Xianshan Palace, Zhang Xiaobai always served whatever dishes he wanted, and there were very few special orderers. In the beginning, he honestly served menus in the Nephrite Tower, allowing the guests to order, but as time went by, he could not bear the burden. Can't live, and sometimes lazy, just want to cook the dishes you want to eat, and finally compromise with Mrs. Su, Zhang Xiaobai will cook ten dishes every day, and the dishes are as he likes. Soups and sweets should be supplied in sufficient quantities.

To be honest, the master of the Royal School is treated like this.

The main course Zhang Xiaobai ordered today is roasted whole lamb. The menu was printed out the day before. Many customers came early in the morning and lined up outside. The girls in the building are too lazy to get up. Usually, those who come in the morning and noon are for food. , went to walk around in front of him, and thought they were an eyesore, and the smell of fat and powder mixed with the smell of vegetables was not good.

Fish and sheep are fresh. Many people can't stand the smell of mutton. It has something to do with the raw materials and the cook's craftsmanship. The Nephrite House is rich and well-connected, and the raw materials that come in are all high-quality Gobi sheep. Zhang Xiaobai tried the taste last night. This kind of sheep white is delicious boiled, let alone roasted.

Zhang Xiaobai got enough sleep the day before, and got up in the middle of the night to cook ten sheep with a few helpers. They were marinated with onion, ginger, pepper, and fine salt, then brushed with Zhang Xiaobai's secret sauce, and pushed into the oven to roast.

Ordinary roasted whole lamb is sprinkled with cumin. This kind of spice is from other places. It is very expensive in Shangjing, and it is not easy to find. To put it bluntly, good things can only be enjoyed by the upper class. No matter how rich and well-connected it is, Zhang Xiaobai just asked a question, knowing that he couldn’t get it, so he didn’t worry about it anymore. This whole lamb was roasted with fruit charcoal and honey sauce, and it was roasted in the first furnace. Sprinkle some stir-fried crushed sesame seeds and share with several cooks. The lamb skin is crispy and the meat is delicious, sweet but not greasy. Zhang Xiaobai cut a piece of ribs and served it to Shen Yanwei with the chicken porridge boiled at night.

In the past two months that Zhang Xiaobai has been in charge, not only has the thin and thin Shen Yanwei become plump, but even the girls in the building have become fatter. Mrs. Su is so angry that she can't help but Zhang Xiaobai can't blame Zhang Xiaobai for making too delicious food. I can only lower my face and ask the girls to practice dancing more. The more they eat, the more they practice.

The only one who is out of tune with the girls in the building is Cao Yu'e, the daughter of the former Minister of the Household Department who is worth 1 taels of silver.

Cao Yu'e's life is bitter, let Zhang Xiaobai look at it, this girl is more like a fairy than his original fate, before the age of 15, she was a spoiled girl, and the four elder brothers in the family got her baby girl, her parents doted on her, The elder brother loves him so much. When he was 15 years old, the world suddenly fell apart. The elder brothers were beheaded for public display. His parents died tragically on the execution ground, and he himself was left in the dust.

Since entering the Chu People's Hall, Cao Yu'e tried to seek death several times, and was drugged for several days. After coming to the Nephrite Tower, Miss Su was not as straightforward as Zhou's mother, and she used a soft knife. Huang Ying went to persuade her, after all, Ruanyulou would not force girls to sell themselves, let alone force, Miss Su wished that all girls would not sell themselves, men are cheap, and those who can't get are good, how much money can they earn by selling themselves?It's just that people are not popular anymore, so they have to rely on prostitution to make a living.

Cao Yu'e didn't eat or drink at first, but was taken by Huang Ying to eat snacks made by Zhang Xiaobai a few times, and knew that she didn't have to sell herself for the time being, so she gradually started to eat, but she still refused to let go and sell herself. Although Su Niangzi rarely bought official prostitutes, I also know that what an official lady like this can sell is her arrogance, and I don't force her, but she keeps an account of her daily food and drink, and asks people to report it every day. After half a month, Cao Yu'e finally agreed to go on stage , but she can't do anything.

Su Niangzi couldn't believe her ears at first, the girls in the brothel could sing a few ditties even at the very least, but this eldest lady really didn't even hum a few tunes, and she couldn't play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at all. , I can embroider at home, but the girls who do odd jobs in the building can embroider two stitches, so I have no choice but to let Shen Yanwei teach something that can be done quickly.

Cao Yu'e does not dislike the girls in the brothel. She is pitiful, and these girls are also pitiful. They are all pitiful people. She can't make things difficult for others, but there is really no way to learn things. She was not smart since she was a child. Ever thought about making a living as a performer?

Shen Yanwei sympathized with this girl who was somewhat similar to her, and she was more attentive when teaching. Cao Yu'e had lost her parents and relatives, and they came and went, and the two of them felt like a mother and daughter.

Zhang Xiaobai is happy with this. He has the memory of a mature fairy, so he will not be close to his mother like a normal child. All he can give is material life, which is unfair to a mother. There is no good way, Shen Yanwei and Cao Yu'e getting close is a good thing in his opinion, it makes his burden a lot easier.

The roasted whole lamb prepared today was sold out before noon. Zhang Xiaobai practiced his hands in the kitchen, fried two dishes, and took out the porridge and soup that was stewed at night. Said it was a special day.

Meng Lian is going to Beijing with his father Ding Beihou.

Dingbei Hou Meng's family is full of loyalty. Before Meng Lian, there were two heirs, both of whom were buried in the battlefield. When Meng Lian was the third son, he was already a single seedling. Hou led the army to a great victory, and the emperor ordered Beihou's family to return to Beijing for rewards. This was also to restrict the power of the Meng family in the Beidi army. His father took him back to Shangjing.

The general enters the city not as the number one scholar parading through the streets, he is accompanied by a guard, he cannot watch closely, and he does not know how to walk through the streets to prevent sneak attacks from upstairs on both sides. The common people can only watch from a distance. Nian military commander, knowing that this should be his father, now that the greedy wolf has taken over his fate, it has naturally changed the tragedy of Meng Lian's bereavement in his twenties, thinking about it this way makes people feel happy.

I don't know if it was a subtle induction, Meng Lian, who was riding a pony and following in the queue, suddenly felt it, and turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaobai in the distance.

Zhang Xiaobai is taller than an ordinary ten-year-old boy. He is dressed modestly, but he has a natural good looks. The original Ye Liufeng looks handsome, but Zhang Xiaobai and Ye Liufeng are not similar at all. The contours of their faces are similar to his own, while Meng Meng Lian Ye was different from the handsome appearance he should have grown up to be, and he had a faintly charming posture when he was less than ten years old.

This is what comes from the heart.

There was no abnormality on Zhang Xiaobai's face. Although he is introverted, he has been in charge of cooking for so many years and his mentality is very stable.

On the way back, Zhang Xiaobai contacted Taibai Jinxing through the Liangsheng Mirror in his palm, and told about meeting Meng Lian today. After thinking about it, he said: "He really doesn't seem to have any memory of Tanlang. I saw him. I felt very uncomfortable at first sight and didn't want to get close to him."

Li Changgeng was also very clear about today's itinerary. It was also his suggestion to let Zhang Xiaobai take a look at Tanlang. After all, it is very important to know what kind of person this incarnation of Tanlang is.

After Zhang Xiaobai finished his first impression, Li Changgeng briefly analyzed it. Judging from the superficial plot of the small world seen in the mirror of two lives, this Meng Lian was very eager for prosperity and wealth because of his previous life experience, in order to sleep with the future emperor. Shuangqi did not hesitate to let her innocent sister give birth to her sweetheart. It is doubtful whether that sister died of dystocia. Zhang Xiaobai is a rather simple second-generation god. People who make him dislike at first glance must have some knowledge. This shows that Meng Lian The previous life was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The more Li Changgeng thought about it, the more he had a headache. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaobai comforted Li Changgeng, "Don't panic, at worst, I will save some more money and leave Shangjing with my family. You also said that Tanlang likes glory and wealth, and he will not want to leave here. Yes, I'll just go as far as I can."

Li Changgeng was almost not laughed at by this close friend. He shook his head and said, "You can hide for one life, but you can't hide for the next life. Although Tanlang's memory has not been revived, his subconscious will remember you when he occupies your fate." , the situation in the next life will only be ten times more complicated than it is now, Xiaobai, you don’t just go away in one life, you have to spend 500 years in the lower realm.”

Zhang Xiaobai felt a headache just thinking about it, he couldn't help but said: "What on earth is Greedy Wolf thinking? Taking away the aura of the immortal will prevent other immortals from returning to the immortal world. Could it be that he can return to the sky and become a star king after recovering like this? This is clearly falling into the devil's way!"

Li Changgeng sighed: "Obsessed, one is obsessed without knowing it...Xiaobai, I have thought of a way to help you."

When Li Changgeng finished talking about his method, Zhang Xiaobai looked at the face of his best friend in his palm, endured it, and still couldn't help showing the expression of an old man on a subway phone.

Li Changgeng felt that his method was absolutely perfect. Zhang Xiaobai's destiny was taken away by others. He had a connection with the Dingbei Hou Mansion in the dark. His facial features were similar, and the fairy fetus was different from others. There was only a mother's body without a father. It’s just that most of the time they are reborn in normal families, where there is a husband and wife life, and it’s not unusual to get pregnant suddenly. There are also virgin births in myths and legends.

Li Changgeng counted, "The eldest son of the Dingbei Hou Mansion wandered around Chuchu Lane when he was young, and had sex with Shen Yanwei four times. Your celestial marriage was the last time. During this period, Shen Yanwei did not take other guests because of her mother's serious illness. Go Xiaobai, let's touch porcelain!"
