With one look from Zhong Minghong, Hu Sisi understood.
"You want me to cook."
"Yes, do me a favor. You have heard it. The identity of the guest is not simple. It is not easy to offend."
Hu Sisi: "But have you ever thought about it, I am no longer the cook here. I can cook this meal. If the guests come for the next meal, I will not be here. How will you explain it then?"
"This... I can go and discuss it with the guests. Anyway, you have also cooked in Jiejunzhai. This is not a lie. Chef Li is sick. Asking you to come back and cook is also a sign of respect for the guests."
Hu Sisi: "Then let me say it first, just for once."
He wanted to cook for others, so he saw that Zhong Minghong was his old boss, so he gave him gifts and wanted him to help.
If it were another time or another person, I wouldn't have been able to agree.
When it comes to cooking, now I can only cook for one person, and that is Pei Yun.
Zhong Minghong: "Okay, I'll listen to you." Then he said to the waiter: "Go and tell the customer about the situation."
Hu Sisi was straightforward and did what he promised. After finishing, he said hello and left.
As for what happened in Jiejunzhai afterwards, Hu Sisi had no idea at all.
After the meal, an old man approached Zhong Minghong.
Even Zhong Minghong, who was accustomed to big scenes, was trembling in front of the old man.
Really.
The identity of the old man is a bit scary.
Said it before.
Today, there is no county magistrate in Min County, and there is no commander in charge of the military department. They are just waiting for new officials to take office.
And according to the current momentum, Min County is more likely to not need a county magistrate, nor a military commander.
The reason lies in this old man.
Speaking of old people, just one identity can scare people to death.
A viscount conferred by the imperial court.
The old man is a big shot with a title.
What does the title mean?
It's not an official position, but its background is much greater than an official position.
To be able to be ennobled, one must either be a relative of the emperor or have made an indelible contribution to the Qin Dynasty.
A title represents a class.
In the whole world, apart from the Holy One, they are the most noble group of people.
People with noble titles do not need to kneel when they see officials. Even if they commit a crime, it is not the yamen's turn to convict them.
The title is hereditary. When the father dies, the son takes the title.
If Feng becomes a prince, he can have his own fiefdom and build a private army.
The title of knight is extremely noble, which means that there are very few people who can be knighted, and those who can be knighted are all big shots.
There are five levels of title in Da Qin, namely Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi and Nan.
Although the old man is a viscount, in this three-acre land in Min County, he is a person who can turn his hands into clouds and rain.
The same is true.
As I said just now, Min County may not have a county magistrate or a military commander.
The reason is that Min County has been assigned to the old man by the imperial court and has become his fiefdom.
And just such a character.
When he appeared in Jiejunzhai, Zhong Minghong was used to big scenes, but he had never served a viscount before. How could he not be trembling?
Think about what the guy just brought back.
If we can satisfy him today, it will be a great blessing for Jiejunzhai. Otherwise, Jiejunzhai will have to live up to its name.
This sentence is not an exaggeration at all.
A person like him is just Jiejunzhai. He can make Jiejunzhai live as long as he wants and die as he wants.
Facing the old man, Zhong Minghong was trembling. This was because he was frightened by the old man's identity. To be honest, the old man looked very kind and had a very good temper.
"Do I look so scary?" the old man asked.
Zhong Minghong shook his head hurriedly and said: "I am just flattered. Being able to receive you as an elder makes Xiejunzhai even more prosperous."
The old man: "There is no need to be so modest. The food here is also very good and suits my taste. As you know, as you get older, you have a bad appetite. But I heard from the waiter that the chef only cooks this meal. So, He said, I will never have the chance to taste this cooking skill again."
This is why I have a special liking for Hu Sisi’s cooking skills.
For a person like the old man to come to Zhong Minghong specifically to talk about a cook, you can know that he really likes him.
Zhong Minghong didn't know how to answer for a while. He really hoped that he could kidnap Hu Sisi back and ask her to cook meals for the old man.
Think about it, as long as you can please the old man, you can become a successful person.
But as Hu Sisi said just now, I won’t do it next time.
Zhong Minghong was really confused. He didn't dare to slander the old man, and he didn't dare to say that in fact, Jie Junzhai also had Chef Li, or else he would let Chef Li cook the food in the future.
Although Chef Li’s cooking skills are no weaker than Hu Sisi’s.
But you must know that for an elderly person like the old man, he does not like the food you cook if it is delicious. He only likes the food you cook if it suits his appetite.
The old man himself said that he has lost his appetite as he gets older.
And he felt that the food cooked by Hu Sisi was very good and very appetizing.
This is the most rare thing.
Even if Chef Li is no worse than Hu Si Si, he still can't make Hu Si Si's taste.
Zhong Minghong was conflicted, he didn't dare to move Chef Li out to guarantee his safety.
In the end, I had no choice but to tell the truth.
"As you always know, the person who was in charge of the kitchen just now was indeed the cook here before, but now she quits. I happened to meet him today, and our chef Li was sick, so I thought of asking her to help. one time."
"I can try to persuade him to see if she is willing to come back, but the chance is slim. She has changed her career now and no longer works as a cook for others."
This is obviously a disappointing answer.
Upon hearing this answer, the old man didn't say anything. Instead, the man next to the old man spoke.
This man looks very talented, and he looks like he has read poetry and books, and is full of knowledge.
I only know that he is following the old man, but I don't know what his relationship is with the old man.
Obviously, this is a person who has a very high self-esteem. When he spoke, he said, "Isn't she just a cook? Does she know who she is serving? If she knew, she would come over immediately and wish she could be a cook for the rest of her life. Cook, is it possible that she still doesn't know the truth? She's so lucky to not do it."
This statement explains a person called being arrogant.
Being able to follow the old man shows that the man's status is extraordinary, and in the eyes of the man, being just a cook is nothing.
Whenever she knew the old man's identity, she would feel doubly honored and serve him with sincerity and fear.
As soon as the man said these words, Zhong Minghong's expression became unnatural.
He also knows that in front of the real big shots, people like himself are nothing.
Therefore, no matter what I heard, I was not qualified to refute it.
Zhong Minghong did not dare to say anything.
It was the old man who spoke, "I've said it so many times, I'm nothing special, and I don't want any privileges. I don't want to hear anyone say anything like this in the future."
The old man actually did not agree with what the man said.
