After Ye Muyu explained the situation to Madam Liu, Madam Liu patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry. Young Master Xie has given us a lot of gifts and that plaque. I heard a lot of students discussing it just now. They are all very envious. You can see how big a favor this is.”
“The womenfolk here are basically our family. You don’t have to worry.”
“Thank you, Mother.” Ye Muyu wanted to bring Madam Hu to the kitchen of the Fragrance Restaurant to be the main table. This was something that had been decided from the beginning.
“No need to thank me. Hurry up and go. Don’t delay. The dishes will get cold soon.” Madam Liu waved her hand.
Ye Muyu nodded and went into the kitchen.
She met Old Madam Ye on the way and only had time to hand Ziluo over to her.
“Mrs. Chu, please follow me.” When Shopkeeper Xie of the Fragrance Restaurant saw Ye Muyu, he quickly brought her into the kitchen.
“Mrs. Chu, I’ve already called the restaurant’s chef to prepare some of the dishes you brought over yesterday.”
“Thank you.” Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief.
Many of the dishes she cooked required time and the process was very long. She had to come late to attend the opening ceremony.
She could only ask the chef of the Fragrance Restaurant to help first.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper was easy to talk to.
After entering the kitchen…
After Ye Muyu got the ingredients, she called Madam Hu and started cooking. She had no intention of clearing the area at all.
Shopkeeper Xie was stunned for a moment.
Ye Muyu did not delay at all. The kitchen was a little hot, so she had to finish it early. Otherwise, she would have to change her inner clothes later. Fortunately, she had brought some gardenia essential oil. After changing her clothes, she should be able to spray the essential oil mixed with water. There should be no more smokey scent on her.
Ye Muyu prepared to make nine dishes.
Roast duck, pig knuckle, dried rabbit, celery and cashew nuts, spicy fish fillets, Golden Branch Jade Leaves, boiled broccoli, Four Happiness Mantou, and First Soup.
The remaining cold dishes were all prepared by the Fragrance Restaurant.
Her speed was not slow, and she had Madam Hu’s help.
There were also some children in the kitchen who were responsible for the fire.
That was why they were all tidied up.
All she needed to do was to add the seasonings into the pot, so her speed was not slow. She was not afraid that the banquet in front of her would not be able to wait.
“Shopkeeper, is this Mrs. Chu the woman who sold us the fish with pickled cabbages recipe?” The head chef of Fragrance Restaurant could not help but ask Shopkeeper Xie.
“What do you want?” Shopkeeper Xie glared at him. Seeing that the chef’s eyes were constantly darting toward the Ye Muyu’s face, he instantly warned, “Scholar Chu has a good relationship with the Third Young Master. Quickly retract your gaze. If you get punished by the Third Young Master, don’t tell me that I didn’t warn you.”
When the head chef heard this, he knew that the shopkeeper had misunderstood. He quickly raised his hand and said,” “Oh my god, shopkeeper, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m just curious about the way she cooks these dishes. Look at the others around me, they can’t wait to have their eyes glued her cooking.”
When Shopkeeper Xie saw that it was indeed the case, he instantly frowned and coughed lightly. Instantly, the gazes of the other chefs were restrained a little.
The head chef hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth.” Shopkeeper, we don’t know how to cook these dishes. Why don’t you go and ask Mrs. Chu if she’s willing to let us see them?”
“If Madam Chu was unwilling, she would have chased us away long ago.” Shopkeeper Xie agreed.
He was also a little tempted. Ever since the fish with pickled cabbages became the restaurant’s signature dish, his monthly salary had increased for the past two months.
Even the branch managers in other counties were more polite to him..
