When she saw Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Sansao, she was obviously stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, the maid chose a more tactful way to ask, "Am I here too early? Madam You hasn't had time to change her clothes yet?"
"We came here by car, and our clothes are all clean, so there's no need to change."
In fact, Mrs. Ye was already wearing a relatively nice set of clothes today, but after arriving at Mr. Jiang's house, she found that her so-called best clothes were not as good as those worn by the maid.
However, Mrs. Ye never cared about these things. She was originally poor and came out to make money, not to compete with others.
Seeing this, the maid didn't ask any more questions, so she led them for a while before turning into the kitchen.
Compared with the kitchen of an ordinary family which is only a small room, the kitchen of Mr. Jiang’s family can be said to be huge in scale, it is directly a yard.
The three rooms in the main house were connected in the middle, and two rows of stoves were built horizontally. At this time, the sound of cutting vegetables could be heard from the house.
"The kitchen helpers that the master hired have arrived one after another in the past two days. They will come to the kitchen to practice their knife skills during the day. Madam You, please come in and take a look."
As soon as the maid walked into the kitchen, the sound of cutting vegetables that had been going on for a while suddenly stopped.
"I have good news for you all. My master has finally found a chef he is satisfied with.
"I've brought someone here today. He's actually standing outside the door. I'd like to invite him in to say hello to everyone and get to know each other."
After the maid said this, she made way for the door.
Several people from the Ye family walked in immediately afterwards.
There were five women in the room, but their expressions were not very good, and they looked at several people with scrutiny and assessment in their eyes.
One of the women, who looked to be in her early thirties and had a charming look in her eyes, said, "It seems the chef is very confident in his cooking skills. He doesn't even have to worry about cooking even when holding a child!"
These words made Mrs. Ye, who was about to take a step forward to introduce herself, pause.
When the maid saw that the kitchen helpers had recognized the wrong person, she quickly walked over to Mrs. Ye and emphasized, "This is Madam You. She is the chef that the master invited back."
Boss Ye said directly: "I'm not a chef, my wife is the chef. I just came here to take care of the children!"
The chef that Mr. Jiang mentioned yesterday was actually a woman?
The five kitchen helpers all widened their eyes in shock.
You know, although many women can cook, the ones who can really become famous and become chefs are basically men.
And no one knows better than them how much effort Mr. Jiang put into selecting the chef this time.
First of all, he didn't want to use the chef from a famous restaurant in Beijing.
Because all the distinguished guests who came to the flower viewing banquet on the day of the famous dish must have eaten it before, so it lacks novelty.
So they could only look for it in the surrounding areas of the capital or even in places like Tianjin.
But compared with those chefs in Beijing, most of the latter are slightly inferior.
But Mr. Jiang didn't want to compromise.
The kitchen helpers have been here for more than ten days and are practicing their knife skills every day, but the selection of the head chef is still undecided.
After returning from a banquet yesterday, Mr. Jiang was grinning from ear to ear and was very happy.
But in the afternoon, he suddenly came to the kitchen, rewarded one of the kitchen helpers with one or two taels of silver, and told one of the kitchen helpers that he could go home. The reason was that he had found a suitable chef, who would bring a kitchen helper over, so one of them would be laid off.
The six kitchen helpers had lived in the official's house for a while and had already become familiar with each other.
There is no competition among them, so they get along better and better.
Being suddenly sent away not only made them feel a sense of crisis, but also made them feel indignant for the person who was suddenly driven away.
So before Mrs. Ye arrived, the five kitchen helpers had a bad impression of her.
Not to mention that now I see that she is not only a woman, but also dressed very ordinary, and she really doesn't look like a chef.
If the person had not been brought here by the maid of the official's mansion, they would have thought that he was a liar.
Several people immediately started asking questions.
"Miss Qiuwei, could there be some mistake?"
"Could it be that Mr. Yuanwai has been deceived?"
"You mean, she's the chef that Master praised so highly?"
"Yes, that's right." Qiu Wei nodded. "Don't worry, Master went out to a banquet yesterday and ate the dishes made by Madam You. That's why he decided to have her be the chef for the flower viewing banquet."
Upon hearing this, the five kitchen helpers exchanged glances at each other.
The woman who had just spoken thought for a moment and then took the initiative to speak again: "So can we start tasting the food now?"
Qiu Wei explained: "I just brought them over to see the kitchen and get to know you.
“As for the food tasting, we’ll have to wait until my master comes back this afternoon.
"And I don't know what the food tasting is all about. The master is very tight-lipped and has never revealed anything."
"Although Master Yuanwai has tasted the dishes cooked by Madam You, we haven't seen them yet, so we don't know..."
At this time, the five kitchen helpers' intentions were very clear. They all wanted to see Mrs. Ye show off her skills on the spot.
Mrs. Ye felt a little embarrassed when she saw this. Although she had a good temper, she could also feel that these people were somewhat repulsive and looked down on her.
In this case, even if she is willing to cook, people will criticize her food, which may backfire.
But if she doesn't agree, it will seem like she doesn't dare to do it, and then the five kitchen helpers will look down on her even more.
Just when Mrs. Ye was in a dilemma, Qingtian, who had been sitting obediently in Boss Ye's arms, suddenly burst into tears.
