The Chu Mansion seemed to attach great importance to the guests this time, as all the things Xia Yi brought into the manor had been inspected one by one.

He had even tested the seasoning with the silver needle without exception.

After confirming that there were no problems, he let Xia Yi and the two helpers in.

All the helpers were from the Lingshan Town, so how could they have seen such a scene before? Thus, they couldn't help but become more cautious.

"Manager, nothing will happen today, right?" One of the students asked Xia Yi.

Xia Yi said: "Whoever is preparing the dishes will leave, I guarantee that all the dishes will be in my line of sight, and I can only handle them myself, understand?"

"Yes, I know, Manager." Both of them answered at the same time.

Xia Yi said: "As long as we do all of this, there won't be any problems."

He was already here, and all of Xia Yi's worries had disappeared into his stomach, becoming the mental support of the two chefs.

Xia Yi laughed at herself. Luckily the two chefs didn't know that her current state in front of Xiao Linmu was similar to theirs, maybe even worse.

They only knew that the Chu Mansion was heavily guarded, but Xia Yi clearly knew that there was someone in this courtyard who had ill intentions towards her.

The attendant led Xia Yi and the two helpers into the kitchen and said: "This is the kitchen. If you need anything, you can tell the manager that this is the kitchen's manager, Chief Steward Bai."

The Chief Steward Bai led Xia Yi around the kitchen, "This is the red kitchen, while the white kitchen is over there, two kitchens each have four people cooking."

Xia Yi's eyes opened wide today. The kitchen of Chu Mansion was much larger than the kitchen of their restaurant, and the red and white tables respectively took one kitchen.

"Thank you, Chief Steward Bai." Xia Yi said politely.

Chief Steward Bai rubbed his hands together, "Today, the old mistress' feast is a feast, are the three of you enough? Do you want me to find some people to help you? "

Xia Yi politely rejected her: "No need, thank you Chief Steward Bai for your kind intentions. However, what we have done is a new dish, I'm afraid …"

Chief Steward Bai's eyes were filled with disappointment. It was obvious that he didn't want to leave, so he struggled to move a step forward before turning around and leaving, "Alright, if you need anything, just ask me."

It was only then that Xia Yi realized that the Chief Steward Bai wanting to stay in the kitchen might not have anything to do with Chu Sike. It was purely because he wanted to see her new dish.

Sometimes, when he was free, he would create his own dishes and play with them. But at Xia Yi's age, for him to be able to eat half of the new dishes on the menu and have such a good reaction, the Chief Steward Bai had a lot of admiration for him.

"Wait, Chief Steward Bai."

Xia Yi suddenly called out.

Chief Steward Bai stopped in his tracks and asked: "If there is anything else Miss Xia Yi needs help with, please tell me."

Xia Yi said: "If Chief Steward Bai wants to stay in the kitchen, that's fine. As long as you don't spread the menu out."

The Chief Steward Bai could just stay in the kitchen and not leave, but he still consciously chose to leave.

Actually, a recipe like hers wasn't an absolute secret. An experienced chef had tasted the dishes before, and it wouldn't take long for the taste to be completely copied.

Furthermore, more than half of the dishes she had prepared today were ordinary dishes. The only problem was that she was afraid that Old Madame Chu's distinguished guests would not be used to the taste of the new dishes.

Thus, the cooking process being shown to the Chief Steward Bai was no big deal.

Chief Steward Bai knew that a lot of the cooks were secretive, but it was the first time he saw someone like Xia Yi, "You … Are you serious? "

"Yes." Xia Yi nodded, she still had a lot of menu options, and there would be a lot of new dishes in the future.

The Chief Steward Bai thought for a moment, then said: "I have a few dishes that I created myself, so I can exchange them with the Miss Xia Yi. When I have time later, I will teach you."

"Alright." Xia Yi nodded, and happily accepted.

Her guess was right, Chief Steward Bai was indeed an upright person.

The more Chief Steward Bai saw, the more he admired Xia Yi.

A kitchen with four stoves, she can be completely open, and still be completely methodical.

When he was at Xia Yi's age, he could at most see two stoves, and he could even make mistakes sometimes.

Xia Yi's confidence was something that he could not learn even after living for 50 years.

Xia Yi was like a person who was born in the kitchen.

In the end, Chief Steward Bai followed the two chefs to help Xia Yi prepare the dishes, without any airs of being a manager.

He waited for the last dish to be served to the kitchen.

Chief Steward Bai immediately said to Xia Yi: "Come, get ready, I will teach you a honey fried chicken wing, this is my old lady's favorite dish."

"Thank you, Chief Steward Bai."

Using honey to cook was new in the West Liang, but it was not strange in Xia Yi's era.

It was just that at that time, honey was often applied to the surface of the meat to be roasted. This method of decocting meat was still rare.

However, when you compared the two, they were the same.

After a while, a burnt fragrance mixed with the sweet smell of honey wafted out.

The two chefs tried their best to suck in a breath of the sweet fragrance and suddenly felt even hungrier.

Xia Yi first gave a chicken wing to Chief Steward Bai, "Chief Steward Bai, how about you try it?"

He then heard the sound of the chef gulping down his saliva as he divided the food between the two of them. "The two of you, eat as well."

Chief Steward Bai carefully tasted it and his eyes lit up.

He simply told Xia Yi the steps, and didn't really help. The fried chicken wings that Xia Yi cooked actually tasted almost the same as his.

He even had a good grasp of the temperature of the fire.

The Chief Steward Bai could not help but nod his head: "Using ingredients is very accurate, the control over the temperature of the fire is also not bad. If there is less, then there is less skin, and if there is more, then there is more."

Xia Yi also picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it into her mouth. She discovered that the fried honey chicken wing was even more crisper than the roasted skin, and because the surface of the frying pan was smeared with oil, it tasted even more fragrant than the honey roasted chicken wings that only relied on its own grease.

Xia Yi couldn't help but give Chief Steward Bai a thumbs up.

No wonder the Old Madame Chu liked to eat this dish, while the Chief Steward Bai was able to sit in the kitchen as the steward.

Chief Steward Bai laughed: "You can't compare to Miss Xia Yi."

Xia Yi only smiled without saying a word. She relied more on the convenience of the developed internet.

and Chief Steward Bai were chatting merrily when a servant suddenly came over.

This maidservant was the maidservant beside Old Madame Chu, her name was Qing Dai.

"I wonder what business Miss Minta has in the kitchen?" The Chief Steward Bai asked.

"The old lady has someone to invite Miss Xia Yi to the main hall."

"Okay, please wait a moment, Lady Qingdai."

Xia Yi turned around to wash her hands, and then put down her rolled up sleeves.

Chief Steward Bai winked at Xia Yi, and when Xia Yi passed by, he whispered to her, "Maybe the old mistress is overjoyed, and wants to reward him."

Xia Yi smiled bitterly, she did not know if she should be rewarding her.
