Su Nian nodded, "Yes, I made all these tofu dishes!"
"It's really delicious. You have a pair of skillful hands. What I want to ask you is, are you willing to stay in the palace and do some work? For example, help me cook?" King Pull asked very kindly.
After hearing the way he spoke, Su Nian became more and more certain that King Poole must have come to South Bank from a relatively equal and open world.
Su Nian smiled and agreed, "It's my honor to serve you!"
King Pull was very satisfied with Su Nian's attitude. He asked someone to call the middle-aged man over. It turned out that the middle-aged man was the head chef in the palace.
"Chef, please arrange a suitable position for Ms. Su. The food she cooks is very creative. Pay her the highest salary," King Poole generously decided on Su Nian's treatment.
The middle-aged man agreed readily. He knew that Su Nian had good craftsmanship, but King Pull's attitude still surprised the middle-aged man.
When they returned to the kitchen, the middle-aged man politely congratulated Su Nian and said, "From now on, you will work in the palace kitchen. I can give you 1,000 dinars per month. Are you satisfied with this salary?"
This is already twice as much as Chu Beichen and his colleagues' salary. However, being a chef is a highly technical job, so one thousand dinars is not a lot.
Su Nian thought about it and agreed. Her main purpose was not to stay in the kitchen to earn extra money, but to get close to King Poole to gain his trust and then talk to him about the golden ball.
Everything went well today. Su Nian agreed with the chef on the time to come to work tomorrow morning and then left the kitchen.
When Su Nian returned home, Kai Xiu was looking out the door.
"Madam, you are finally back. I was wondering whether you would come back for lunch!" Kaixiu was very happy. She was a person of temperament, which was also one of the reasons why Su Nian liked her.
Among the people of South Bank, Kaixiu is a rare down-to-earth person.
Su Nian really hadn't eaten yet. "No, I was too busy preparing food for others!"
Kaixiu happily pulled Su Nian into the house, "That's great, I made soup according to your method, let's drink it together!"
Kaixiu made cabbage and tofu soup. Cabbage is a rich vegetable. No matter what vegetable it is cooked with, it can always bring out the flavor of the other vegetable.
Su Nian had made this soup before. After Kaixiu tasted it, he thought it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life, so he wrote down the recipe.
Kaixiu served the soup to Su Nian as if he were offering a treasure. "Try it quickly and see how I made it."
Su Nian took a bite and found it was just the right amount of salty and cooked to perfection. The only thing missing was some seasoning. "It tastes really good!"
Kaixiu was like a child. After receiving the praise, he quickly served a big bowl of soup to Su Nian. The two of them ate bread with the soup. At this time, Kaixiu remembered and asked Su Nian how the trip to the palace went.
Su Nian smiled and said that everything was going well. The people in the palace were willing to give her one thousand yuan a month and keep her in the palace kitchen to cook.
Kaixiu was stunned by the amount of the reward. "One thousand... Madam, your income is almost catching up with those officials!"
Su Nian did not continue to discuss this topic in depth, but emphasized the next day's work to Kaixiu. From now on, Su Nian would not be at home during the day, so naturally he would no longer make tofu to sell. Kaixiu's work became much simpler, and he only had to clean the yard and take care of the livestock.
"Kaixiu, you have to pay special attention to one thing. When we are not at home, no outsiders can be allowed into our house." Su Nian believed in Kaixiu's character, but he did not trust Kaixiu's relatives so much.
Kaixiu understood what Su Nian meant, and with a flushed face, he assured her, "Madam, don't worry. My sister-in-law no longer comes to our house!"
Su Nian nodded. The golden ball was at home. If someone took it away while they were not at home, then all her and Chu Beichen’s work would be in vain.
When Chu Beichen and others came back in the evening, Su Nian announced the good news with a smile, and everyone was happy for her.
When Su Nian and his wife were alone that night, Su Nian raised the issue of the safety of the golden sphere. Chu Beichen patted his head and said, "I have a good place to hide it!"
Chu Beichen pulled Su Nian to the door, where Black Panther and his two children were sleeping.
Chu Beichen laid a cotton blanket for them at the door of the bedroom, and the mother and son rested here for three nights.
The other dogs lived in wooden kennels in the yard.
Chu Beichen pulled Black Panther aside. Although Black Panther and the two children didn't understand why their master did this, they still walked aside obediently and watched Chu Beichen move the cotton blanket away and lift up the blue bricks on the ground.
"Dig a hole and bury the golden ball in it," Chu Beichen said, found the tools, and started working immediately, with Su Nian helping him.
There was muddy land under the house, and Chu Beichen was strong, so he quickly dug a big hole. They carefully wrapped the golden ball and buried it in the hole, then restored the scene to its original state. The excess soil was used to pad the stable in the yard at night.
After doing all this, the couple quickly went to sleep for a while, and the daybreak was approaching.
When they got up, the Black Panther mother and her two cubs were still sleeping soundly on the mat. They were very sleepy last night.
Putting the golden ball under the doghouse, firstly, the thief would not find it, and secondly, even if the thief found it, he would not have the ability to dig the ground because of the ferocious black panther.
Su Nian and his wife both felt that this method of theft prevention was foolproof.
After breakfast, Kaixiu came over early. Su Nian left the house to her and went out with Chu Beichen and others.
When Su Nian arrived at the palace, he found that someone was already busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for King Poole and other important people.
It was probably Su Nian's first day at work, and the head chef did not let her join the cooking team. Instead, he briefly told her about the situation in the palace.
King Poole is not married, but he has a mistress, whom everyone calls Mrs. Winter. Some time ago, the head chef called Su Nian to the palace just to cook for Mrs. Winter.
"King Poole is easy to talk to, but Mrs. Winter..." The head chef didn't finish his words, leaving room for Su Nian to think for himself.
Su Nian understood that Mrs. Winter was probably quite picky. As if to confirm the chef's words, someone soon ran to the kitchen to deliver a message, saying that Mrs. Winter wanted something sour and sweet for breakfast today.
The people in the kitchen suddenly became nervous because Su Nian had just arrived and was good at making tofu, so no one asked her for help.
