Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 72: Chef Selection


Hearing Jun Qianyu asking him to participate in the cruise party as a chef, Ning Xi lowered his head, bit his lip after a while and replied, "Okay."

"In two days, the Princess Palace will start to select chefs for the cruise ship flower party. I have already signed up for you."

"Isn't this just a matter of your arrangement? Why do you want me to participate?" Ning Xi was really not interested in participating in any other competitions.

Jun Qianyu's response was: "The eldest princess is not from our side."

"Okay, what do you need me for?"

"Cook well, go through the selection, and do your own thing when you get to the ship. Don't worry about other things."

"Yes!" Ning Xi replied dully.

Being used to Ning Xi's always cheerful smile, her depressed attitude made him feel very uncomfortable, and he involuntarily added: "Don't think too much, if there are no accidents, this time the matter of Qijue's teaching should be It can be completely solved, and you can do whatever you want in the future, and you don’t need to worry anymore.”

"Well, thank you so much, Fifth Master Jun." Ning Xi still bowed her head in a respectful manner, but Jun Qianyu didn't think it meant anything. She would rather she always offended him inadvertently like before, I just don't know if I can go back to the way it was.

Meng Shuangshuang and An Mingyue came back from shopping and came to Ningxi with a large bag and a small bag: "Ningxi, look, we bought a lot of beautiful dresses, this set is for you, take a look, do you like it? "

Meng Shuangshuang took out a goose-yellow brocade skirt and showed it to Ning Xi: "The little girl only needs to wear bright colors to look good. Look at you all day long wearing these gray and autumn clothes, and everyone wears them. I'm getting old." Ning Xi stayed in the kitchen all day, smoldering, so he usually wore darker clothes with narrow sleeves, like this one with two wide sleeves hanging down from his shoulders. Putting on a light gauze skirt, I really haven't worn it much.

Ning Xi's eyes also lit up, and she fondly stroked the smooth fabric and delicate embroidery on her skirt: "It's so beautiful!"

Meng Shuangshuang said proudly, "That's right, I knew Ningxi that you would look good in this dress when I saw it."

An Mingyue said unconvincingly: "What, I clearly liked it first. At that time, this skirt was in the hands of the little girl from Li Shangshu's family. She was hesitant to hold the skirt, and it was too expensive to buy it. I stole it from me."

"Hmph, why are people hesitating? They are already digging their wallets to get money, and they were robbed by you. You didn't see that Miss Li was about to cry?"

"That girl is so short and her waist is so thick, wearing this skirt is really ugly. I helped her and didn't make her look ugly at the flower fair!"

"You're right, I won't tell you, come to Ningxi, hurry up and try it on, let's see what kind of jewelry is suitable for it."

Ning Xi had a disappointed look on her face, shook her head and said, "I don't need it anymore, I can't wear it anyway."

"What's the matter? Didn't you promise to join us in the cruise party?" Meng Shuangshuang wondered.

"Five Master Fang Caijun came to me and asked me to cook on board in the name of a chef. How can I dress like this."

"What!" Meng Shuangshuang said angrily with his hands on his hips, "We are not the servants of his family, why should we get on the boat to serve people? It is obvious that they are going to eat, drink and have fun on the boat."

"That's right!" An Mingyue also said indignantly, "Let's ignore him, this man is too unscrupulous, you have cooked so much delicious food for him, and in the end he turned his face and didn't recognize him."

"It's alright, I think it's good to be a chef, Shuangshuang, you can go with Mingyue. When you see something interesting, come back and tell me." Ning Xi said with a smile.

"Ningxi, stop laughing, you laugh like this, I will feel flustered, you were obviously not such a person before, what happened recently!" Meng Shuangshuang said anxiously.

"It's nothing." Ning Xi didn't force a smile anymore, "It's just that I suddenly have a clearer understanding of my position. Our arms can't bend our thighs. Since people want me to go, we can only do it. Can you go, can you still say no?"

"Then if you don't go, I won't go either, I'll cook with you."

"Silly girl, why are you mad at yourself? With your level, what kind of dishes are you doing? It's almost the same as making trouble. Come on, you two go. If I'm free, you can take me out quietly. Check it out!"

"Oh, that's the only way to do it." Meng Shuangshuang sighed and said, "The day when the cruise festival started was the day when you were still with you. We originally planned to dress you up beautifully. Let’s celebrate. Or else, we will help you bring your clothes and jewelry on board, and then come out to us when you are done, and we will still find a place to celebrate your birthday.”

An Mingyue continued: "This silly girl spent all her private money in order to buy you clothes and pack up!"

Ning Xi was both moved and surprised: "But how do you know when I'll get married?" Even Ning Xi herself didn't know. When she transmigrated into this body, it would be nice to have a bite to eat. Now, who will remember her birth date, how old this body is, Ning Xi herself guessed based on her physical condition, but due to malnutrition in the early stage, she didn't know if she could guess correctly.

Meng Shuangshuang looked at her strangely: "You told me yourself!"

Ningxi remembered that Meng Shuangshuang had asked her once. At that time, she randomly said a date and even forgot the specific date. I didn't expect the other party to remember it all the time, and even quietly prepared to celebrate for her. Ning Xi hugged Meng Shuangshuang moved: "Shuangshuang, you are so kind to me."

"Okay!" Meng Shuangshuang pushed her away: "Don't do this for me. If you can cheer up, I'll be Amitabha Buddha."

Jun Qianyu asked Ning Xi to prepare well for the selection of chefs at the Princess Chang's residence, but Ning Xi had a bad idea. She decided to perform poorly when participating in the selection, deliberately lost the selection, and had to make them spend more Time to get her on board.

Anyway, if they have doubts at that time, she will not admit it to her death, and no one will be able to produce evidence.

Thinking of this, Ning Xi felt a lot more relaxed, and she had the intention to study with Meng Shuangshuang and the others how to dress for the flower party.

On the day of the selection of the chefs of the Princess Palace, Meng Shuangshuang and An Mingyue had to go with Ningxi, and Rong Daquan also wanted to take Wang Dongping to participate in the name of Shuangxi Tower. Wang Dongping's craftsmanship is already very good now, but It's just that he hasn't seen any big scenes, so Rong Daquan plans to take him to see the world and gain insights.

A group of five went to a courtyard of the eldest princess, where the selection of chefs for the past few days has been carried out.

The cruise party needs a lot of chefs. Except for the chefs of several well-known restaurants designated by the princess, the rest of the chefs are determined through this selection. Because it is not a competition, the selection process is also very simple. It's simple, as long as you have a clean net and good cooking skills, you can participate.

When each person enters the venue, he will be handed a piece of paper and asked to fill in it clearly. The content in it is probably name, age, restaurant from which restaurant, personal situation and family situation, etc., as well as the chef he is good at The type of art, the dishes you sign up for, etc.

After the personal situation is verified and passed, the chef who is participating in the election only needs to make the dish he signed up for. After the votes of the ten-member jury, as long as the number of votes passed exceeds five votes, it is considered a pass and can be boarded.

The selected chefs can get different levels of remuneration every day according to different cooking skills and different work scopes on board. In general, the remuneration is quite generous, so come to participate overcrowded chefs.

Ning Xi was determined not to pass the selection, so she deliberately submitted a dish that could not be served on the table - fried hemp tofu. This is a common dish on the table of ordinary people. She believes that it will be like this on the cruise ship of the eldest princess. In a high place, such a dish cannot be served on the table.

An Mingyue thought it was fun, so she also went to someone to ask for a registration form to fill out. In the column of cooking skills she was good at, she filled in the carving of ingredients, and the dish she signed up for was radish flowers.

Before it was their turn to play, a few people were standing in the lobby waiting, Miss An was standing with sore legs, rubbing her legs and complaining: "What is the princess' mansion, I don't understand a bit of etiquette, I'll take it anyway. Come out and let people sit on some stools, what's the matter with people standing here waiting?"

Meng Shuangshuang said: "If you don't reveal your identity, who knows that you are Miss An, why don't you go and sit with those people?" He raised his chin and pointed to the side hall next to him. There are many tables and chairs.

The last time Ningxi attended the food conference at Prince Qi's Mansion, she had basically met the shopkeepers of some big restaurants in the capital. Now, the people in this side hall are relatively familiar. I think she should bring her own chef to participate in the election. The shopkeepers, those chefs are running for the election with the name of the restaurant, and it is not only the chef who benefits, but also the reputation of the restaurant, so many shopkeepers are willing to have their own chefs to participate in the election.

"Yes, why can't they sit and we can't?" An Mingyue walked over with them carefreely, took a look, and picked a table with fewer people: "Hey, you let us sit, we want to sit."

The expelled man gave her a big white eye in disdain: "This is the seat arranged for us by the people of the princess' mansion. Who are you, why should we give it to you?"

An Mingyue was afraid that her mother would find out that she disliked her and would embarrass the mansion of Anguo.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man on the opposite side made a sneer with "chi": "What kind of thing is Sungai Tower!"
