"Boss!" I saw that my boss was getting anxious and my heart was beating rapidly. "Boss, you just said that you have no appetite for the next few days. Why don't you try out my cooking and see if you can eat my dishes. We can talk about other things later."
The boss looked at me. His originally angry face changed slightly.
"Yes. "Journalist, don't play any tricks with me. I've seen all kinds of women before. If you play tricks, you will only die in an even worse way." The boss stood up and walked outside as he spoke.
I stood there, unsure whether to follow him or to stand here.
The boss walked to the door, looked back at me, and said, "Let's go."
Startled, I quickly followed him.
Standing in the hallway were the dozen or so men, as well as Shunzi and the black mass of men, giving off an indescribable feeling of pressure.
As I walked past Shunzi and DeCheng, Shunzi mouthed at me. "What are we going to do with you?"
I also mouthed back, "Cooking."
We can't make a sound, and if the boss hears it, it's trouble.
The expression on Shunzi's face relaxed a little when he heard what I said.
I followed my boss into a backyard, then through a hall to the deepest part of the yard.
Wan Qiu and another woman were already waiting inside. When they saw the boss and me, the two of them hurried over and helped the boss to sit down.
Wan Qiu asked, "Boss, why did you bring her here?"
The boss said, "I can't finish my meal these few days. She said that she knows how to cook the palace food, so I asked her to cook a few dishes to see if it suits my taste. The two of you can taste it together later."
"Alright, I didn't see that this girl could cook court food. I've already carefully inspected her just now, and she looks pretty good there too." Wan Qiu said fawningly to her boss.
The boss laughed mischievously and lifted Wan Qiu's chin with his hand. "How about compared to you?"
Wanqiu immediately put on a coquettish look. "Boss, you're so naughty!"
The boss laughed and pointed at Little Four, "Follow her. If you need anything, she can send someone to arrange it."
Actually, I didn't personally cook those dishes either. It's just that when Master Liu was cooking, I carefully read through them.
I racked my brains over the ingredients. Then, I wrote down the ingredients on a piece of paper and handed it to the woman called Little Four.
Little Four was also a delicate beauty. No matter if it was his figure or his face, he was definitely a beauty.
I don't know if she was the same as me, sold here and forced to leave, or for some other reason. But I knew that in a place like this, it was better not to talk too much about who was who and who was who.
Little Four looked at the ingredients before sending a man to buy them.
Only Little Four and I were left in the kitchen. Little Four looked at me and asked, "Where are you from?"
"J City, what about you?" I saw Little Four talking to me, so I tried to talk to her.
"We are all poor people, it would be hard for us to escape even if we had wings when we come to this place. "So here, if you want to live, you have to listen to me, or else …" As Little Four spoke, a person who looked like a chef walked in.
Little Four coughed lightly twice before stopping.
The cook looked me up and down. "You want to cook for the boss?"
I didn't know what was going on, I could only treat him with courtesy, "Yes, my boss said that he couldn't eat anymore these few days, so I coincidentally learned some palace food and wanted to try cooking."
"Try to do it?" The cook looked at me with wide eyes. "Who gave you the guts to try? To cook here, one must have a 100% certainty. Even so, if there is any mistake, who knows what kind of punishment they will receive! "
"Ah …" I've done it, and there's... "Yes." My heart tightened at once, but I had only one chance. It didn't matter how good I was, I had to try.
Little Four could see my nervousness, and she lightly sighed. "Little Sister, look at your good fortune. Master Zhao, please help her a little."
As Little Four spoke, he stood up and left.
At this moment, the person who bought the food brought the ingredients back. I racked my brains to recall Master Liu's cooking procedure from before.
Because I was thinking and doing it, I didn't look very proficient. Master Zhao watched from the side and frowned. "Girl, do you know how to cook or not? None of the cooks here are as good as you are."
I thought about how Little Four had asked him to take care of me. Although I didn't know who Little Four was, she was still someone close to Boss, so I told Master Zhao about it.
"Master Zhao, I was framed and sold here. But I didn't want to take those videos and try out what kind of scenes. So I said that I could cook for the court, and I hope that my boss would let me stay in the kitchen to cook for you on account of my skills. Master Zhao, I hope you can help me! "
As I spoke, tears started streaming down my face.
Master Zhao sighed and said, "Hey, girl, I'll try my best to help you. This matter will depend on your luck."
Just like this, with the help of Master Zhao and according to my memories, I cooked six dishes, "Feast of Hibiscus Shrimp, Money Thread, Phoenix Spreading Wings, Peach Soy Chicken, Tender Dragon and Phoenix Lying on the ground".
Master Zhao first tasted it, and then he extended his big thumb towards me. "Girl, the taste is not bad! I'll help you carry the six dishes over.
"Yes." I nodded and followed Master Zhao to carry the dishes over.
On the way out, I stuck a sharp knife in my pocket.
Wan Qiu and Little Four were sitting beside their boss, massaging his arms and legs.
Looking at this scene, I can't help but recall the scene of those nobles from ancient times surrounded by their wives. It's just that this isn't that era anymore, but in this place, it's still the same scene.
Master Zhao and I brought the dishes over and placed them on the table.
The boss waved at Master Zhao to let him go down.
The boss stood up, looked at the dishes, then picked up his chopsticks to taste them.
My heart was pounding like a drum.
"Not bad." The eldest nodded and shifted his gaze to my side. He sized me up from top to bottom and waved at me. "Come here."
I don't know what to do.
Wan Qiu and Little Four also walked over and sat on the boss's left hand side. I looked at the boss' right hand side and didn't dare to do it.
