[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

As early as on the way to Hongshunlou, Liu Mei had asked classmate Lin Xiaohong about the basic situation of this restaurant, as well as the secret of making money every day.

The Hongshun building owned by Sister Feng is a high-end boutique route. It only has private rooms and does not accept individual guests, and only ten seats a day at most.Guests have no right to speak on the menu, at most they can only tell the host what to eat, but the menu can only be determined by the host.

The more this is the case, the more diners flock to Hongshun Tower.Half of it was because of the outstanding culinary skills of Chef Shao, and the other half was because it was hard to get a seat in Hongshun Tower. Most of the nobles in Beijing felt that it was extremely dignified to have a banquet here.

Liu Mei thought, Chef Shao's skills are probably good, but unfortunately, his character is not very good, he likes to hide his secrets in important places, just look at the silly apprentice second chef he brought out to know.

After the hot dishes were served, Liu Mei relaxed.She ordered a few words, ordered Master Baian to continue preparing staple food and snacks, took off her apron, took off the veil on her head, and walked out of the big kitchen, intending to take a rest and catch her breath.

Walking out of the kitchen, walking through a long corridor, and passing an elegant room, Liu Mei heard a voice inside saying loudly: "Yesterday I saw someone's spring painting, it was painted by 'Geng Huang', it's really good No!"

Liu Mei's pair of beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but trembled, laughing and cursing in her heart: This Xue Pan has a strong taste!I don't know much yet.

She had stayed in Lixiangyuan for a few days before, and she had heard Xue Pan's voice.

Sure enough, Baoyu's voice sounded, "'Genghuang'? Don't say 'Tang Yin'!"

There was a burst of laughter in the private room.Xue Pan was so embarrassed that he had to say loudly: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables! This Siamese pork is really well done. It is worthy of being a famous chef in Hongshunlou. This bacon smells so good that it tastes right between your teeth."

Liu Mei continued to shake her eyebrows, but she didn't expect Xue Pan to say anything good.

Immediately afterwards another soft voice sounded, "Not only this bacon, but this charcoal-grilled neck meat is also very skillful. The skin is crispy and tender, and it is full of fragrance. The way to eat it with dipping sauce is also quite surprising." The voice was soft and moist , It is obviously a male voice, but it always brings a bit of a woman's gentleness.

After hearing this, Liu Mei thought, what's so strange about this way of eating, isn't it the same in later generations of Thai restaurants?

However, seeing the somewhat surprised expression of the waiter who was in charge of serving the food at that time, Liu Mei did not forget to tell him that this is a fresh way of eating from Siam.The little girl suddenly went to serve the food.

I only heard Xue Pan in the private room laughing and saying loudly: "Qiguan said, come on, drink! Yun'er, you sing me the new song for me to listen to!"

After a while, the pipa sounded "ding ding dong dong" in the elegant room.

Liu Mei was in a daze. It turned out that Jiang Yuhan, the future husband of Sister Xiren, was also in this private room.

Before she could finish her distraction, there was a "ding", a system notification came from Liu Mei's mind, but there was only one.

"Introduce the old and bring forth the new, improve Lingbai smoked Siam pork, success! Get thirty money."

Liu Mei waited and waited, but she didn't see the next one, so she couldn't help asking the system unconvinced, "No, I also made charcoal-grilled pork neck, and the response was very good!"

"The same ingredient is automatically bound to a separate routine task."

Liu Mei called out to Zhuang Tianqu in her heart - there is always hard work without credit, right?If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have bothered to worry about it.After working all afternoon, I got thirty system gold coins.

and many more!

"Pi... well, well, Brother Shiqing, are you sure you're not mistaken, this is just a routine task?"

Wasn't it notified earlier that there are additional tasks that must be completed?

"OK, this is a routine task."

"Additional tasks are about to start, pay attention, additional tasks are about to start..." the system repeated twice.

——Again?

——I really want to go crazy!

Liu Mei thought to herself, why is it the same as last time?Last time, she managed to finish the sugar-steamed shortbread, and then came another Bazhen cake; this time she worked hard for a long time, and finished the Lingbai-smoked Siam pork, but it was just a routine task? !

Why is this kind of routine again!

The system is still going on, "Additional tasks are about to start, please be careful, if you fail, you will suffer personal injury!"

What?personal injury?

"Didn't you just drop back to level 0 last time?" Liu Mei's heart was tumbling, as some kind of divine beast was galloping back and forth.

"Last time was the last time, this time is this time!" The system explained in a very serious manner.

If the system was a person, Liu Mei would be determined to beat him right now... no, the chef's knife slashed his chest—why didn't Mao say it earlier?

"Don't worry, your life will not be in danger!" The system seemed to be comforting Liu Mei.

Hearing this kind of consolation, Liu Mei was almost overwhelmed—it would be better not to be comforted.

There were chaotic footsteps behind her, and someone was looking for her.

"Miss Liu, Miss Liu..."

It was the voice of the shopkeeper of Hongshunlou, with a little panic in his voice.

"Miss Liu, a guest wants to see you after eating hot dishes."

Liu Mei turned around with difficulty, and clearly saw the middle-aged shopkeeper of Hongshunlou, with a tense expression and a slight sweat on his forehead.

"I don't see... can I?"

Liu Mei asked weakly, knowing that the answer should be no.

There were a lot of people in the corridor, and Liu Mei could hear people whispering to each other.

"Now I know I'm nervous, but when I'm boasting, why don't I know how to be afraid?" A cook was talking about her.

"You can't say that! Master Shao is also very nervous every time he goes to see..., not to mention she is a young girl." Among the cooks, there are also some who speak well for her.

"Miss Liu..." The shopkeeper stopped talking, paused for a moment, and then said softly to her, "Miss Liu, let's go and see you! This customer, the shop simply cannot refuse."

Liu Mei collected herself, looked carefully at the shopkeeper's expression, and felt more and more that the other party was looking at her, as if looking at a piece of meat on a chopping board.

"What kind of guest is it?" Liu Mei felt that she must die to understand.

"Yes... it's a male customer." The shopkeeper's Gu left and right said to him.

"Oh—thank you!" Seeing the shopkeeper's cover-up, Liu Mei naturally understood that the other party's status was precious, and she might not be able to explain it to outsiders easily, so she immediately replied coldly and mockingly, "Please lead the way!"

After being intimidated by the system, she was weak for a moment, and finally cheered up again - she didn't even know what the additional tasks were, so how could she mess herself up first?

Liu Mei's composure made the shopkeeper look at her with admiration, and hurriedly bowed and walked in front of her respectfully, while leading the way, he turned sideways and said to Liu Mei: "The guest already knows that you are a girl, so you are allowed You answer him through the curtain. Miss Liu..."

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper had already walked to the door of another private seat, and immediately kept silent. Liu Mei looked at his mouth shape and guessed that the shopkeeper probably wanted to say "good luck".

"Among the princes in Beijing, this one has the most picky taste. Originally, only Master Shao was the one who was able to handle the spoon, but now he is replaced by someone else, how can this one not be able to eat?"

From far behind came the low voices of the cooks discussing.

At this point, Liu Mei finally understood where Chef Shao's confidence came from.

It is estimated that Chef Shao's wishful thinking is that on the day when this most picky and hard-to-serve guest comes to the door, he deliberately claims to be sick, and then asks Sister Feng to force Sister Feng to agree to his conditions.

It's just that Chef Shao didn't expect that Sister Feng brazenly ordered her to serve as the main course for Chef Shao.

It was also because she was ignorant and fearless, that she cooked two dishes and presented them without knowing anything.

However, the cook mentioned just now that the princes in the capital... the people inside are the princes?

Liu Mei began to have a headache: she only remembered one King of Jing, and the other three, so peaceful, safe, she couldn't even remember the titles.

At this time, the shopkeeper spoke.

"Two princes!"

——It really is the prince, and there are two more!

"Miss Liu, the chef, is here to answer the two of you!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper pushed open the door of the private room, and there was indeed a curtain hanging in the door.Through the curtain, Liu Mei felt that the private room was brightly lit, but she couldn't see anything.

He only heard a clear voice, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Wang, I heard that she is a girl this time. Her culinary skills can be regarded as very good. She can cook that Siamese pig almost perfectly. Brother Wang, why don't you You should be more compassionate and cherish the jade, and don't frighten others with viciousness."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Miss Liu, why don't you thank Prince Beijing for your kind words?"

Liu Mei had no choice but to bow and salute, and said through the curtain, "Thank you, Prince Beijing!"

Just listen to the gentle smile inside and say: "Listen to the voice, she is still a young girl. Brother Wang, huh?" It seems to want to remind the four words "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" again.

On the other side of the curtain, a man's voice hummed softly.

With this cold hum, Liu Mei couldn't help shaking her shoulders, her face changed suddenly, her ears were buzzing, and her eyes were full of confusion—this caused her to miss what the man on the other side of the curtain said. .

But the shopkeeper heard it very clearly, and only heard the man say: "At a young age, and as a woman, I work as the head chef in this Hongshun building, and I only cook meat from exotic places. This king thinks that this time People are suspected of seeking fame and reputation. If this king recognizes this person's cooking skills today, this person can boast to others at will in the future, wouldn't it be a hindrance to my king's reputation?"

The shopkeeper thought to himself, oh, it turned out that he was afraid that Liu Mei would go out and talk about this matter, which would ruin the reputation of the "God of Cookery" in front of him.

The person behind the curtain continued: "So I decided to test one of her ingredients. If she can't satisfy me, then I can't say it. I will give her a little bit of trouble."

Liu Mei didn't hear what he said, if she had, she would have opened her mouth and turned back.

And the reason why Liu Mei lost her mind was because she was too familiar with this voice.

Ever since she came to the World of Red Mansions, she could hear it every now and then.

Yes, the system "world situation" that has always existed in her consciousness, the voice is exactly the same as the person behind the curtain, and it is difficult to distinguish.

The author has something to say: [Small Notes]

In the setting of this article, the King of Beijing is not called "Shui Rong", but is called "Shi Rong" according to Cheng Jia's version of the hundred and twenty chapters.Anyway, these two names are the same when pronounced in Jiuqiao's native dialect.As for why the King of Beijing is called "Shirong"? ——Because we are going to do something!
