Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 40: Chef brand


The gang of local ruffians hired by Shopkeeper Zhu suffered a big loss under An Mingyue's men. They were thrown out in disgrace without even making a fuss. Shopkeeper Zhu felt that it was not good to explain the matter to the young master, and was sighing, the new The second chef Yuan Fugui came in and said, "Manager Zhu, are you worried about the Shuangxi Tower opposite?"

Speaking of Yuan Fugui, Manager Zhu also knew that he was once the apprentice of the original Quan Jufu chef Rong Daquan, and was later kicked out by Quan Jufu, but when Yuan Fugui came to the door, it was When Pinxianju’s business plummeted, and when Mr. Zhu was in a daze, he said that he had several recipes for Shuangxilou’s signature dishes on hand, and he even cooked a chopped silver carp head on the spot.

Manager Zhu has never eaten the braised silver carp head made by Ningxi, but Yuan Fugui's taste is really extraordinary. It is a pity that the new dishes launched by Pinxianju are really insignificant compared to the Shuangxi Lou opposite the door. There is no good face.

"What do you have in mind?" Mr. Zhu said irritably.

"According to my Dazhou law, anyone who wants to work as a chef in a restaurant must have a chef license." Yuan Fugui bowed his body carefully.

"Bullshit!" Manager Zhu cursed. If you want to be a chef, you must first take the chef's license. This is a new law that was established more than ten years ago. The reason is that a certain royal relative was eating in a restaurant at that time. The chef at that time did not understand the principle of mutual restraint of food, so it could not be placed in the restaurant. The food we ate together was given to the big man, and as a result, something big happened, but the backstage of the restaurant was also a very famous person, and the responsibilities between them were unclear.

Finally, there is a law like this. Anyone who eats inappropriate food in a restaurant will be held accountable for the chef, and the examiner who made the chef pass the chef assessment will be jointly and severally responsible. However, if this person does not have a chef license, and the restaurant invites him back, then the owner and shopkeeper of the restaurant will be primarily responsible. Therefore, after Da Zhoufan wanted to be a chef, after his apprenticeship, The first thing to do is to take the chef test first.

"Does the shopkeeper know that Ningxi does not have a chef license?"

"What?" Manager Zhu stood up, "Is this true?"

"It's true, the little one doesn't know if Ningxi really doesn't know about this matter or does not take it to heart because of someone's support, but the little one did inquire clearly, she really doesn't have a chef license."

Treasurer Zhu sneered: "She's very courageous." As the owner of Sungai Tower and the chef, the culpability of this crime is twofold.

Speaking of the matter of taking the chef's license test, everyone in the food industry of Dazhou knows everyone, but because it is so common, no one thinks of asking Ning Xi, and Ning Xi she She really doesn't know, and she can't blame her. Generally, chefs are passed down from master to apprentice, and the master will naturally tell the apprentice, but Ningxi has no master at all. Besides, the hawkers who set up stalls in the night market also None of them have a chef's license, so where should she know where to go?

Ningxi is also very busy now. Five hundred and two altars of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall are sky-high prices, but that can't stop the wealthy people in the capital. These days, the orders are endless, and they are never broken in a single day. , This dish is complicated, so Ning Xi can only cook in the kitchen all day.

Shuangxi Tower was opening its doors to welcome guests on this day. Suddenly, several officials with daggers hanging brightly around their waists came, startling the little Er who greeted the guests: "Several officials and officials."

Fortunately, these officials were not vicious, they only ordered: "Let you in charge come out."

Meng Shuangshuang ran before and after these days to be sent to her, but she also exercised some tolerance, and bowed her hands to several officials without hesitation: "I don't know how many officials are looking for people's daughters. What's the matter?"

Only one of the officials said: "Did a guest surnamed Li ordered a altar of Buddha Jumping over the Wall at your place the day before yesterday and sent it to his home?"

Meng Shuangshuang was busy getting someone to bring the account book, flipped through it and said, "Yes, the Li family in Xima Hutong said it was for his old father's birthday."

The official said: "Now the Li family is suing the Buddha Jumping Wall produced by Shuangxi Tower for unclean things, which caused his father to vomit and diarrhoea after eating it, and his body was greatly injured."

Meng Shuangshuang said anxiously: "It's impossible, just this Buddha jumps over the wall, we have sold more than a few dozen altars since our Shuangxi Tower opened, and I've never heard of anything going wrong. How does he know it's not? What's the matter with you?"

The official said: "Master Jingzhaoyin has his own judgment on this matter, but now I just ask the chef who made this dish that day and the manager of your restaurant to go to the government office in advance. If you are innocent, Lord Fu Yin will not let you be wronged for no reason."

At this time, Ning Xi had also heard the whole story and walked out calmly: "Don't panic, both of you, I'll just go to the yamen with these officials."

The official said strangely: "This is..."

Ning Xi respectfully said, "Ning Xi, the girl of the people, is the owner of Shuangxi Tower and the chef of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall that day. The official just took the girl with him."

Meng Shuangshuang hurriedly pulled her: "No, Ning Xi, I can't let you go alone."

Ning Xi patted her and comforted her: "Don't worry, I have absolute confidence in the dishes I cook, you just need to help me take care of Shuangxi Tower, you'll really affect the business if you stay here all the time! "

Seeing Ning Xi's calmness, everyone felt relieved. Those officials were very polite to Jing Zhaoyin and Huang-sama's orders.

Because this case involved Sungai Tower, Jingzhao Yin Lord Huang was extra cautious and sent an experienced doctor to inspect the residual Buddha Jumping Over the Wall sent by the plaintiff. And the old father of the Li family also had a doctor who took the pulse, and his body was not serious.

Actually, the Li family also received money from others and asked them to sue for such a misfortune. Now that what they have to do has been completed, and they have eaten a jar of the best and delicious Buddha Jumping Over the Wall for nothing, they naturally do not want to do anything else. He admitted a misrepresentation and lost some money.

On Ningxi's side, it was just a routine question, and it was almost over. The official in charge of the record said in accordance with the procedure: "Take out your chef card and check it." /

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment: "Chef brand?"

"Could it be that I didn't bring it with me? Then I have to trouble the girl to ask someone to deliver it. It's really the protocol. You must register the number on the girl's chef card, and pay off the girl. Forgive me."

Ning Xi asked cautiously, "Excuse me, what exactly is this chef badge?" Could it be something like an ID card?

The official was also stunned: "Don't you have a girl?"

Ning Xi and him looked at each other, worried that the matter was too important, so he didn't dare to answer casually, but her expression already showed that she clearly couldn't come up with a chef card.

The official did not dare to neglect: "Miss, please wait a moment, I will come when I go." He hurriedly ran out to find Shangfeng for instructions.

Master Huang also felt a headache after hearing this. Who would have thought that a person who opened a restaurant with great fanfare would not have a chef license? Busy looking for the master to come to discuss.

Master pondered: "According to the law, Sungai House employs a chef who has obtained a chef's license, which is considered an illegal business, and can be fined three times the illegal business income according to law, and it is forbidden to operate for half a year. Only after the application is approved by the government can it continue to open.”

Master Huang said anxiously: "I know this, but if I really do that, I'm afraid I, Jing Zhaoyin, will have to do it."

"How big is this little girl?"

"You weren't there at the time, but I didn't know about it. Last time, this girl met the Duke of Anguo's mansion. The fifth prince and Prince Qi's mansion are behind this girl. Now I heard that even Miss An is standing there. On her side, you say, how can I afford it?"

Master couldn't help but blame: "Since I knew this earlier, when the Li family came to sue, they should have suppressed this matter. Why should I invite the girl Ning back to make a fuss?"

Master Huang sighed: "I don't think so, but when the Li family came to complain, it happened that Yushi Lin was also there. In front of these officials, I naturally did I thought it was just going through the motions, but I didn't expect..."

"Yes!" Master clapped his palms, "Then the Li family just came to sue Shuangxilou's food and drink bad guys. Now this matter has been revealed, and Ningxi doesn't have a chef license. Only a few of us know, as long as she gets the chef card as soon as possible, won't everything be gone?"

Master Huang "hehe" with a smile: "Yes, that's it." Yi Tie robe stood up, "I'll go tell her now."

"Wait, my lord, please also instruct me to tell Miss Ning to stop cooking these days, so as not to cause any trouble. I will make arrangements when I am young, and make sure that Miss Ning participates in the chef assessment as soon as possible. ."

The chefs in the capital are assessed once a month. The fastest one is five days later. The registration deadline was already a month ago. If Ning Xi signs up now, he can only participate in the next month's competition. However, the master of Jingzhao Yin's government office came forward, but he easily placed her in a team and gave Ning Xi a number plate for the examination, and asked her to go back and prepare for the examination in five days.

After Ning Xi went back, when he talked about it, Rong Daquan and the others broke out in a cold sweat. You must know that this matter can be big or small. Said it was a major hit!

Only then did Ning Xi know the seriousness of the matter, and she couldn't help being grateful for Mr. Huang's magnanimity.
