Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 108: Guest Chef

"Ningxi, Ningxi, wake up, why are you sleeping on the floor?" Over there, Ningxi was dreaming that the wedding was over, and the two flew directly to Bali, where the water was clear and sandy and the coconut trees were shadowed for their honeymoon. Looking at the heart-shaped bed covered with rose petals in the honeymoon hotel, I was careful that my liver was thumping, and I was suddenly shaken awake.

Who hates it so much? Ning Xi threw off the hand that shook her, turned over and continued to sleep. The show was about to start. Whoever wanted to wake her up, she was in a hurry.

Unfortunately, that person did not let her go. Seeing that she was not awake, Ning Xi screamed and woke up in pain.

Only then did he realize that his whole body was cold and his body was hard. He was lying on the floor and sat up hard. Ning Xi couldn't help but grinned: "Oh, it hurts to death." I slept on the ground all night, and all the bones in my body hurt.

"What's wrong with you, Ningxi? Are you alright?" Han Xiangfei looked at her worriedly.

"It's okay, Brother Han, why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you out for breakfast. I was worried, so I came in to have a look. I didn't expect to see you lying on the ground as soon as I came in." Only then did Han Xiangfei notice that the cauldron in front of Ning Xi had already been put out. "What are you doing?"

"Yeah, I almost forgot." Ning Xi jumped up quickly, lifted the lid of the pot, and saw that the water in it had just boiled dry, and the bottom of the pot was covered with a layer of light brown powder. A slow layer.

Ning Xi picked up the cloth and shook it gently to shake off the powder that could be seen on it, then carefully wrapped it up and put it in his arms. The remaining powder in the pot was wrapped with a clean cloth Get up and hand it over to Han Xiangfei: "Brother Han, if you add this thing to your diet, it can cause people to go crazy and self-harm, but I don't know the exact amount. If you hide it, maybe it will come in handy."

Han Xiangfei was shocked: "You should take it with you!"

Ning Xi shook his head: "The place I'm going to is heavily guarded, I'm sure I won't be able to bring this thing in, and I don't know what will happen in the future. In short, be careful."

Han Xiangfei had to pick it up and hide it carefully: "Okay, you also have to be more careful. Hurry up and have breakfast, I'm afraid it will be late."

"Let's go! By the way, Big Brother Han, don't tell Sister You about this." Somehow, Ningxi was always not at ease with her, maybe it was because she was too ambitious!

"I know, don't worry."

You Zhenniang was obviously unhappy when she saw the two of them coming out of the room together, but she didn't say anything, and said lightly, "Let's go!" She walked in front.

Not long after breakfast, someone came to inform them that Ningxi and You Zhenniang would pack up their things and go with them. This time, they didn't say that the island master saw Ningxi, nor did they sit in a sedan chair blindfolded like last time. Instead, they walked with the two tortuously for a long time, and finally came to a tall fence like a city wall. There was only a small door open on the wall, and there was a room next to the door. The two were asked to enter the room. I searched my body and checked everything I brought with me.

The stack of boiled cloth towels that Ning Xi brought with her looked fine, so she had to bring it with her.

The two passed through this small door, and the person behind the door closed the door immediately. What appeared in front of the two was a higher wall, and the two stood on the cold passage between the two walls. , giving it an eerie feeling.

These two tall walls separate two completely different worlds.

The place where they were before was like a village in the countryside, and the market was like a small market town in the countryside at most, but on the side of the fence, it seemed like they suddenly came to the mansion of a prince and nobleman. Pavilions and pavilions, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, all the house decorations are all exquisite and extravagant, and even the bluestone under the feet is wider and flatter than other places.

You Zhenniang couldn't help exclaiming, Ning Xi secretly wondered in her heart, is this still on the same island?

The steward who brought them here told them half proudly and half warningly: "Being on duty here, the most important thing is that you shouldn't listen, don't watch, and do your job well. It's good, don't worry about anything that shouldn't be yours."

"Yes, thank the steward for reminding me." You Zhenniang said.

Ning Xi did not speak, but secretly remembered the path under his feet. Even Lu Chi can only rely on himself now. He originally planned to find a chance to exchange news with Han Xiangfei, but after passing through those two huge walls After that, she dismissed the idea.

The steward arranged accommodation for the two of them, each with a separate small yard, three and a half blue brick and large tiled houses, which are much better than the original one. There is a separate well and a small kitchen in the yard. All kinds of furniture are complete, and there are even some decorations on the shelves.

The two were taken to the kitchen just to put their things down.

The kitchen manager's surname is Wu. Manager Wu told them that they are called guest chefs and are only responsible for serving the guests' food. Someone prepares it for them, and they just need to cook.

Director Wu brought a menu and asked the two to make all the dishes on the menu within two hours. The island owner will personally taste it to see if the two are qualified to replace the original first-class chef.

Ning Xi wanted to ask out of curiosity, what about the original first-class chef? But thinking of what the steward said before, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and forbearance didn't ask, but looked at the menu seriously.

A total of 12 dishes on the menu are Longjing Bamboo Sun Soup, Fish Fillet in Ginger Sauce, Sweet and Sour Lotus Root, Shredded Chicken and Tremella, Jade Bamboo Bracken, Braised Straw Mushroom, Three Loofah Rolls, Hibiscus Tofu, Luohan Prawns, braised lamb trotters, braised chicken nuggets, eggplant box with sauce, and two desserts, five-color sponge cake and eight treasures cake.

To Ning Xi, it was just an ordinary dish, and it was nothing. Coupled with her many years of experience as a chef, she quickly knew what to do. Looking at the people in front of her who were waiting for orders, she made arrangements. Go down, what ingredients to get, how to prepare various ingredients in the early stage, and the instructions are well organized.

You Zhenniang was in a cold sweat. When Director Wu was not paying attention, she quietly said to Ning Xi, "I don't know how to cook many dishes here. What should I do?"

Although Ningxi doesn't like her very much, she came together after all, so it's better not to help her, so he said, "It's okay, we want to cook these dishes together, you can just follow me." Then he pointed out on the menu After a few steps, "You can do these steps!"

You Zhenniang was startled, Ning Xi casually pointed out a few dishes that were exactly what she could cook, and her eyes couldn't help but become a little more complicated.

This round of dishes was made, and it was clear at a glance which one was better and which one was worse. Director Wu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound. He just led people to deliver the dishes to the island owner one after another.

The island owner, Xie Xuanwei, is tasting the food, and the eldest Miss Xie Sinan is accompanied by the new man.

Xie Xuanwei raised his hand to Jun Qianyu and said, "Try it and see how our new chef's craftsmanship is?"

There are three attendants standing beside them to serve their meals. These attendants are extremely well-trained. With just a wink, they can quickly and accurately place the dishes that the master wants to eat into the small plate in front of him. The whole set of movements is as proficient as flowing water, without the slightest collision of bowls and chopsticks.

Jun Qianyu only glanced at the soup cup, and a bowl of steaming Longjing Bamboo Sun soup was placed in front of him. He was not polite, picked it up and took a sip of soup. I was stunned, this is - her taste?

My heart was suddenly agitated. I was glad that she was still safe, but I was worried that she didn't know how she was now. According to her temperament, I was afraid that she would not be willing to be controlled by others. It's better to cause yourself a calamity. Seeing him in a trance, Xie Sinan asked strangely, "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

"Oh no, it's so delicious." Jun Qianyu said hurriedly.

Xie Sinan also said: "I also think it tastes better than the previous chef's cooking."

Xie Xuanwei laughed: "I've found a treasure this time." He raised his eyes and gave Director Wu a look. Director Wu understood, nodded and backed out.

Ningxi was chatting with a young man named Ding Ping in the kitchen at the moment. Ding Ping told her that he used to be an apprentice in a big restaurant. He recruited chefs with high salaries, so he signed up and was brought here. After several rounds of examinations, he was assigned to this kitchen, but because his craftsmanship was not good enough, he couldn't be a chef who could cook on the stove, so he could only do some tricks Even so, he still feels that life here is much better than when he was bullied outside. It's a pity that it's too boring, there's nowhere to hang out, and there's nowhere to spend the money.

Seeing that no one noticed the two of them, Ning Xi quietly asked him what he was puzzled about. There is so-called gossip where there are people. Heart, Ning Xi seems to be a kind and amiable person, and Ding Ping told her everything he knew without any hesitation.

The kitchen of theirs is usually relatively leisurely, but they greet guests every three months. When guests come, they are the busiest and most nervous, and there is no chance of making any mistakes. Throw it into the sea to feed the fish.

Originally, there was a chef in the kitchen. This chef was arrogant and liked to be bossy on weekdays. No one else in the kitchen liked him. The chef also brought an apprentice. When entertaining guests, the main course It was all done by the chef and his apprentice.

But a few days ago, this chef and his apprentice suddenly never showed up again for unknown reasons. It seems that there are still two days before the day of entertaining guests. The kitchen has been preparing for half a month. All kinds of fresh ingredients are ready, but there is no chef, everyone has been discussing these days, should this guest still be received?

Unexpectedly, Director Wu brought Ning Xi and the others over today, and asked them to try the original chef's specialty.

Ding Ping finally came to a conclusion: "It seems that Director Wu wants you to replace the original chef and his apprentice this time."
