Chapter 1314 Extra: Joining the Zhang Family as a Kitchen Helper

Li Xiaomeng was so happy that she turned around and ran out.

When Li Xiaomeng ran back to the field panting and saw Jing Shaohuai still waiting for her, she felt so sweet.

"Brother Xiaohuai!" Li Xiaomeng ran over and said anxiously: "Quick, go and call Sister Xiaoying to my house! My mother said that she is willing to take Sister Xiaoying to the Zhang family to try to help in the kitchen!"

Jing Shaohuai was excited, but his face was full of surprise: "Be a kitchen helper? Zhang family?"

"Yes." Li Xiaomeng nodded vigorously: "The Zhang family has been looking for a suitable kitchen helper, who must have good cooking skills. They haven't found a suitable one yet! Let the village chiefs of several villages help keep an eye on it and introduce it to the right one. Sister Xiaoying's cakes are so delicious, she must be able to help in the kitchen!"

This is really a pillow for someone who is sleepy.

Just when I said I would find a way to get into the Zhang family, the opportunity came.

Jing Shaohuai immediately said with a touching look on his face: "Sister Xiaomeng, you are so kind to me."

Li Xiaomeng's face turned redder, and she said shyly; "I am very happy to be able to do something for Brother Xiaohuai."

Immediately, Jing Shaohuai went back and told Mi Xiaoying the news.

Mi Xiaoying looked at Jing Shaohuai and smiled meaningfully: "Beauty trap, incredible!"

Jing Shaohuai smiled and said: "I didn't promise anything, she made it up herself."

Yin Yinuo said: "You should take it easy. Don't let the girl rely on you when we leave."

"Hehehe, no, no, I know my limits, I have never said anything explicitly." Jing Shaohuai said: "Not taking the initiative and not being responsible."

"Bah, scumbag." Mi Xiaoying and Yin Yinuo spit on him together.

That's what she said.

When it came to action, Mi Xiaoying was not vague at all.

The next day, the village head's wife came and asked Mi Xiaoying to go to the town. Mi Xiaoying changed her clothes, carried a set of knives that Yuan Shisan bought from outside at a high price, and followed him to the town.

"When you get to the Zhang family, you must talk less and do more." The village head's wife reminded Mi Xiaoying: "Don't ask around. The previous cook was fired by the Zhang family because of her bad mouth. You should know that only the Zhang family in the entire Liushen Town can afford such a high price. One thousand yuan a month! Save for three years, you can build three large tiled houses!"

Mi Xiaoying's eyes flashed, and she laughed in her heart.

It seems that the village head's wife also has a crush on Jing Shaohuai, and this is the idea of ​​letting her help her son-in-law.

"Yes, I remember it. Thank you for reminding me, aunt." Mi Xiaoying said shyly.

Soon they arrived in the town and stood at the door of the Zhang family.

At this time, there were already people waiting at the door, and they were obviously applying for the position of cook.

Mi Xiaoying counted and there were about seven or eight people.

It seems that the competition is not small.

Mi Xiaoying secretly thanked herself for having learned cooking skills before, otherwise, she might not have won today.

"Are you all here?" A middle-aged man who looked like a butler, twisting a few goatees, looked around and said, "The Zhang family is the most charitable master in the town. Since you have been recommended by various villages to try out for work, you must cherish this opportunity. As long as the work is done well, not only will you be paid enough, but the masters will also have other rewards from time to time. If the masters let a little slip through their fingers, it will be enough for your family to chew for a year."

"Yes, thank you, butler."

"I know, butler."

"Thank you for your advice, butler."

...

There were many echoes around.

Mi Xiaoying also nodded in agreement, and she would never be the first to do so.

"Come in." The butler waved his hand, turned around and walked in.

Mi Xiaoying followed the others and stepped into the gate of the Zhang family.

She looked up and took a quick look. This was a typical five-courtyard house with a cross courtyard on each side.

The main materials of the house are local materials, such as bluestone and white lime.

The overall style is simple and not fancy.

In terms of aesthetics, it is far behind the Yin family, and it is not as exquisite and elegant as the Yun family.

It can only be said that it is livable, but not beautiful.

"Come with me." The butler waved his hand and led the crowd to the left courtyard.

Mi Xiaoying looked at a row of houses from a distance, steaming and people coming and going.

Obviously this is the kitchen.

Mi Xiaoying moved her nose and distinguished that this was a pot of steamed buns that had just been cooked.

It seems that even the Zhang family in Liushen Town does not have such an exaggerated quality of life.

Think about it.

There are no kitchen utensils and conveniences outside, so naturally there is no Western pastry outside. It is good to be full.

"All of you go and try a dish. As long as the masters say it is good, stay and work." The butler pointed to a few large stoves and said.

Several women rolled up their sleeves and began to select the vegetables and seasonings they needed, ready to show their skills.

Mi Xiaoying was not in a hurry. After they finished selecting, she took a few green vegetables from the basket and fished a fish from the big tank.

The dishes she was going to make today were boiled fish and three fresh vegetables.

There were eight stoves in the kitchen.

Two of them were steaming buns, emitting mist.

So there were only six stoves left.

And there were a total of nine cooks who came to try out their jobs today.

This meant that three people had to wait until others had finished using them before they could go up to cook.

Therefore, the cooks were busy running around, preparing quickly, for fear that they would not be able to grab the stove.

On the other hand, Mi Xiaoying was so calm and calm from beginning to end, neither rushing nor slowing down.

It would be wrong to think that she does things slowly.

Although she looked calm, her movements were not slow at all.

The knife in his hand seemed to have eyes. He swiped and swiped, and in a moment, all the ingredients were processed.

While others were diligently shredding and dicing, Mi Xiaoying had already taken the cut ingredients and leisurely went to the stove to start cooking.

The cooks who were grabbing the food were so anxious that they were sweating when they saw Mi Xiaoying starting to take action, and they became even more frantic.

Someone stood watching in the distance. Seeing that Mi Xiaoying was so agile at such a young age, they immediately asked, "What do those people do?"

"Returning to the young master, that is the cook who came here for a trial today." Someone replied: "These are all recommended by several nearby villages."

"That person too?" Young Master Zhang pointed at Mi Xiaoying and asked.

"Yes."

Young Master Zhang suddenly became interested and said, "I didn't know there was such a beautiful little lady in this mountain nook."

Since Mi Xiaoying appears as Yin Yinuo's wife, her current dress is that of a married young woman.

A small square scarf with blue and yellow flowers tied her hair behind her head, and a hairpin carved from mahogany wood meticulously tied her hair behind her head.

A blue and white cotton-padded jacket with a waist and a black apron of the same color and material looks exquisite and capable.

Although Mi Xiaoying was dressed in ordinary clothes, her noble temperament could not be concealed.

Therefore, despite the chaotic group of people, Master Zhang could still distinguish her from the crowd at a glance.

"Bring the dishes she cooked to me later." Master Zhang ordered.

"Yes, young master."

Only then did Young Master Zhang turn around and leave with satisfaction.

At this time, Mi Xiaoying didn't know that she had fallen into the eyes of Master Zhang, and she was still cooking diligently.

The boiled fish and ground delicacies were cooked quickly.

The moment the dishes were placed, the aroma filled the air, and many people in the kitchen were secretly swallowing their saliva.

It really smells delicious!

At this time, someone trotted and said something in the ear of the butler, and the butler's eyes immediately fell on Mi Xiaoying.

Mi Xiaoying was keenly aware of this sight, but pretended not to notice anything, keeping her head down and acting shy.

The butler immediately ordered Mi Xiaoying's dishes to be delivered to Master Zhang's yard for his review.

"Did that little lady cook these two dishes?" Young Master Zhang picked up the chopsticks with great interest, took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. After a while, he narrowed his eyes.

"Young Master, what do you think?" the eldest steward asked, bowing his waist.

Young Master Zhang is the eldest son of the eldest son of the Zhang family and the eldest grandson of the direct lineage of the Zhang family.

If nothing else happens, he will inherit the Zhang family in the future.

Therefore, Master Zhang's opinion is very important.

After hearing the butler's question, Young Master Zhang opened his eyes and said, "It's not bad."

More than okay?

It’s obviously so delicious that you’ll want to swallow it!

But Young Master Zhang didn't dare to show it. He knew that his third uncle had been staring at him!

If he showed interest, his third uncle might compete with him for the cook.

"Then stay?" the butler asked tentatively.

"Let's stay and take a look first." Young Master Zhang said slowly; "My father has not had a good appetite these days, so I asked her to watch him cook some dishes and send them over."

"Hey, I'm going to give you the order right now." The butler hunched over and trotted out.

After the butler left, Young Master Zhang devoured the boiled fish and ground delicacies in front of him.

After the other cooks' dishes were prepared, they were not delivered to Master Zhang, but were tasted and decided by the butler.

After tasting everyone's dishes, the housekeeper only left Mi Xiaoying and a sister-in-law Liu sent from Liujia Village, while the others were sent back.

Sister-in-law Liu stood beside Mi Xiaoying a little nervously and whispered: "Sister, are we being left behind?"

Mi Xiaoying smiled and said, "That's right. Sister-in-law, please don't be nervous and have confidence in your cooking skills."

"Hey, my husband's surname is Liu, and my maiden's surname is also Liu. You can call me Sister-in-law Liu." Sister-in-law Liu looked at Mi Xiaoying and said, "Are you married too?"

"Well, I just got married not long ago. My family is short of money, so I went out to make some money to supplement the family income." Mi Xiaoying said with a smile: "I heard that the wages paid by the Zhang family are not low. If you save for three or two years, you can Build a big house for my brother to get married. "

Seeing Mi Xiaoying talking about her family, Sister-in-law Liu relaxed and said, "I'm also thinking about making more money and seeing if I can send my son to a private school in the Zhang family to become a Being a shopkeeper or an accountant is an excellent way out.”
