Chapter 67: Colleagues are enemies
next day
Jiang Yuwei got up early and cleaned up. Ning Huaizhi heard the noise outside and got up too. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"Did I wake you up? I have nothing to do at home today, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ning Huaizhi said with a smile while washing his face:
"I'm going to take you there today in a bullock cart."
Jiang Yuwei thought that she didn't know how to drive an ox cart, so she kept silent. Right now she really needed Ning Huaizhi to take her there. Jiang Yuwei was worried about Ning Wan being alone at home, so she decided to take her with her.
The family of three packed up their things, locked the door, and drove the ox cart to town.
Arriving at South Street, as expected, the first house at the street corner was the magnificent Xu Mansion. When the servant at the door saw Jiang Yuwei, he said:
"Manager Zhang only asked me to come pick you up. No one else can enter the mansion."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said to Ning Huaizhi:
"Huaizhi, you and Wan'er wait for me outside. I'll come out when I'm done. If you feel bored, you can go for a walk in town."
Ning Huaizhi nodded and waved his hand to signal her to go in quickly.
Jiang Yuwei followed him into the mansion and was immediately shocked by the luxurious decoration inside the Xu Mansion. This was truly a wealthy family. The scenery in the courtyard was very harmonious. It was probably going to cost a lot of money just to take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard in a month. Jiang Yuwei was sighing silently in her heart when she was taken to the kitchen by the servant.
"Jiang, this is the kitchen, go in and get ready."
Jiang Yuwei nodded to thank the servant and went into the kitchen.
A plump old woman was washing a pot. When she saw a stranger coming into the kitchen, her expression changed immediately:
"Hey, hey, whose maid are you? How come you can just walk into the master's kitchen?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei smiled and bowed, saying:
"Auntie, my name is Jiang Yuwei, and I'm the cook that Manager Zhang hired today."
The maid who was washing vegetables beside her nodded and said:
"Mrs. Li, please don't scare me. Didn't Manager Zhang say yesterday that he had invited a chef to come to your house to cook? Have you forgotten?"
The maid stood up and shook off the water drops on the dishes. It was not known whether she lost all her strength or did it on purpose, but all the water drops fell onto Mrs. Li without a single drop falling to the ground.
Seeing this, the maid covered her mouth and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, I didn't mean it, Mrs. Li. I was just excited to see the new chef. I advise you to be nicer to the new chef. Maybe she will be the one in charge of the kitchen in the Xu Mansion in the future. It's also your son's fault that his cooking skills are really not that good. The master of the family is tired of eating them. He doesn't know how to change his taste and can only cook a few dishes to fool people. I think Zhang Guanshi has been wanting to change people for a long time!"
Mrs. Li was already angry after being drenched in water, and she became even more furious when she heard Sun Zhaodi say this about her son. She scooped up a bucket of water from washing the pot and poured it on Liu Zhaodi, cursing:
"You damned bastard, if you dare to say anything bad about my son again, I will tear your mouth to pieces. Jiang Yuwei hasn't even started working as a chef yet, and you're already licking her?"
Sun Zhaodi didn't expect that Mrs. Li would splash the water from washing the pot on her. She was not one to suffer a loss, so she rushed forward and tried to pull Mrs. Li's hair.
Jiang Yuwei stared at the chaotic scene in front of her in amazement. When she was hesitating whether to step forward to stop the fight, Manager Zhang arrived with a few servants.
Seeing a fight breaking out in the kitchen, he hurried forward and said:
"Stop it now, if you don't want to stay in the Xu Mansion anymore, I will ask my wife to sell you all to other boys!"
After hearing this, Sun Zhaodi quickly let go of Li Pozi's hand and smiled at Zhang Guanshi:
"Manager Zhang, please don't get angry. Mrs. Li and I didn't fight. We didn't fight. Let's all go home."
Manager Zhang frowned when he saw Sun Zhaodi was soaking wet and said in a deep voice:
"Look at how dishonorable you are. We are going to have distinguished guests come today, so hurry up and change your clothes and get ready for work."
After hearing this, Sun Zhaodi nodded and left.
Manager Zhang glared at Mrs. Li who was standing aside with her head bowed and said angrily:
"You too, you are so old, and you still fight with a little girl! Be restrained today! If you dare to disturb the distinguished guests, you will not be able to stay in Xu's house anymore!"
After that, he stopped paying attention to Mrs. Li and smiled at Jiang Yuwei.
"Yuwei, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I've left a stove for you. You can go and cook. If you need anything, just ask Mrs. Li. We have all the prepared dishes in the house. When Sun Zhaodi comes out, ask her to help you. Today, you and the cook in the house will each cook ten dishes, okay?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:
"no problem."
Jiang Yuwei had already thought of today's menu, and the crayfish had been washed in advance. Seeing that time was running out and that Sun Zhaodi was not someone she could rely on, Jiang Yuwei rolled up her sleeves and started cooking crayfish as soon as she entered the kitchen.
At this time, Li Hu, the son of Mrs. Li, also entered the kitchen. Seeing Jiang Yuwei busying herself, he glanced at her with disdain and complained to Mrs. Li:
"Mom, look at this. Anything can enter the Xu family's kitchen now!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Li also glanced at Jiang Yuwei and nodded.
"Yes, son, let's cook quickly. Don't delay the master's meal. We don't know if the food prepared by others is edible!"
Jiang Yuwei was so busy at the moment that she didn't pay any attention to the trouble-making mother and son. She was just here to cook a meal, not to be a chef at the Xu Mansion. Let them say whatever they wanted. If they really pissed her off, she would certainly not let them go.
Jiang Yuwei had fried the base and put the lobster into the pot when she saw Sun Zhaodi slowly coming out. Jiang Yuwei said to her directly:
"Manager Zhang asked you to come and help me. We are in a hurry. You have to do whatever I say!"
Sun Zhaodi was just about to hide behind and slack off, but when she heard Jiang Yuwei say that, she didn't dare to refute and just nodded impatiently.
Jiang Yuwei asked Sun Zhaodi to wash the bean sprouts and green vegetables first, soak the black fungus, and then gave her a piece of tripe and asked her to rub it several times with flour.
Jiang Yuwei picked a piece of pork tenderloin, sliced it and marinated it with salt, then chopped some minced meat mixed with leeks, cut the eggplant into large slices and separated it in half to make fried eggplant boxes. She rolled the stuffed eggplant boxes in batter and fried them in a pan at 80% oil temperature, and soon a large plate of them was ready.
Li Hu smelled the aroma of food coming from Jiang Yuwei's place and couldn't help but frowned. He signaled Li Pozi to come over and take a look. Li Pozi understood and quickly put down the vegetables she had picked, and squeezed into the kitchen with her two little eyes turning slyly.
Sun Zhaodi, who was washing her tripe impatiently, saw this and squeezed Li Pozi hard and shouted in a shrill voice:
"Hey, what are you doing here? Don't you see how big you are? The aisle here is so narrow. Why do you have to squeeze in? Are you trying to learn from the new chef?"
