Chapter 38
"Cough...cough"
I don't know whether it was because he intentionally interrupted this discussion or because he had a scratchy throat, but Manager Ji's coughs successfully stopped the gossip discussion among the chefs.
"Anyway, this matter has been decided. Please discuss who will assist her in the big kitchen during this period."
Hearing this, the chefs below looked at each other, and no one wanted to step forward to take the job.
Gossip news in the mansion has always spread very quickly, and most people are aware of what happened a few days ago. As for the reason why Butler Xu recommended her to attend the birthday banquet, everyone knows the reason, but has not revealed it yet.
What's more, serving rural dishes at the Sikong Mansion's birthday banquet is unprecedented. Although the fourth lady values her, after all, the fourth lady is not in the mansion now, and she won't be back for a while. If something goes wrong at the birthday banquet,
No one can bear the blame given by the eldest lady.
The chefs looked at each other, then looked at the floor and ceiling, and even stared at the pillars beside them to study.
This group of people acted too obviously. Hua Mian felt that she was being treated as a fool. It was obvious that they had no one they wanted to help her. Maybe it was because they were the chefs of a large kitchen, or maybe they were all
Don't want to offend Butler Xu.
"Well, if everyone is very busy, I can do it myself." To be honest, Hua Mian would rather do it by herself. Judging from the emotions shown by these people in front of her, if she really wants them to cooperate with her work, it's probably
It will only make you more tired.
"No, this is the rule of the house. The dishes involved in the banquet must be completed by the cooperation of at least two chefs. No one can bear the responsibility if something goes wrong."
"but..."
Perhaps sensing Hua Mian's concerns, Manager Ji looked around the room, and finally fixed his gaze on the man sitting in the back row, holding a book in his hands and looking at it in fascination.
This person was sitting in the back row farthest from the two of them and had not participated in the conversation since just now.
"Yang Gu, I leave this job to you. You are responsible for assisting Miss Hua Mian in preparing the dishes for this banquet."
Hearing Guanshi Ji's words, all the chefs present in the big kitchen showed shocked expressions.
"Eh? Eh? What's going on?" Seeing the change in everyone's expressions due to one sentence, Hua Mian was also overwhelmed by the atmosphere. Could this Yang Gu be a terrible character?
"He was actually assigned to Yang Gu. He is a famous lone ranger who never cooperates with others. He is just a person who works in the same place every day. Now it is unthinkable to ask him to cooperate with such a girl to hold a birthday banquet."
"Let me see, this is a clever way to manage things. If you work with Yang Gu, this girl will give up early."
"It's okay to let this little girl see the skills of a big kitchen. Don't think she can cook a few country dishes. It's just because the masters have never seen anything new."
Listening to the comments of the people around her, Hua Mian smiled bitterly in her heart. This feeling of being bullied in the workplace seemed familiar. She didn't expect that she would encounter it even if she traveled to a different world.
On the other side, Yang Gu also heard the content of the discussion, continued to read the book in his hand, and said directly without raising his eyelids, "Excuse me for refusing."
Hearing the other party's decisive refusal, Hua Mian breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to say that she could do it alone, Manager Ji suddenly said, "Stop talking about it, this matter is settled."
