Chapter 857
Chen Meng’er entered the kitchen to take a look at the ingredients that she could use. The moment she entered the kitchen, everyone stopped what they were doing and greeted Chen Meng’er, “Hello, Little Miss.”
The people in the Qu family’s kitchen loved and hated Chen Meng’er. Of course, it was a little too much to say that they hated her. However, the people in the kitchen were often reprimanded by Elder Qu indirectly because of Chen Meng’er. However, they also received many bonuses because of Chen Meng’er.
“Yes, you guys are busy. I’m just here to see if there are any fresh ingredients today. Oh right, leave a stove free for me later. You guys can go and do your own things,” said Chen Meng’er. As she spoke, she started to check the ingredients in the Qu family’s kitchen. Chen Meng’er wanted to use the ingredients in her space, but there were too many people here. It would be bad if she accidentally made a mistake. Therefore, Chen Meng’er could only secretly change the water used for cooking into the water from her space.
However, by changing the water used for cooking into the water in her space, the taste would be very different from usual.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Little Miss, you can use whatever you want. We’ll help you in a while.” The head chef of the Qu family did not have his usual arrogance after seeing Chen Meng’er. He did this not because of Chen Meng’er’s status as the Qu family’s Little Miss, but because of her cooking skills, which he could not learn no matter how hard he tried.
Every time Chen Meng’er came here to cook, all the chefs in the kitchen would stop what they were doing and each of them would hold a small notebook in their hands as they stared at every step she took. They didn’t even dare blink, afraid that they would miss out on some key steps.
However, when they recreated the dish that Chen Meng’er made, there was a huge difference. This made these chefs very puzzled. They were sure that Chen Meng’er did not hide anything, but the taste of their dish was just wrong.
This was why the head chef was very impressed with Chen Meng’er.
“Alright, I just happen to be making some medicinal cuisine today. When you take the notebook later, pay attention to the time, order, and quantity of each Chinese medicine that I put in. These three points are very important. Don’t make a mistake. If you make a mistake, it will affect the efficacy.” Chen Meng’er could let them do whatever they wanted, but this medicinal cuisine was different from ordinary cuisines. If they made a mistake, not only would it not have a nourishing effect, it might even have a counter effect.
“Alright, Little Miss, we understand.” The head chef took the lead and agreed.
“Grandma, go and rest for a while. I’ll go get the medicinal herbs and start preparing.” Chen Meng’er had already been standing in the kitchen for a while. Madam Qu’s body was not bad now, but, standing for a long time would make her very tired.
“Alright.” Madam Qu usually had a good temper, but those who were familiar with Madam Qu knew that when she became stubborn, she was not inferior to Elder Qu at all. Many times, when Elder Qu met his own wife, he could only give in.
She only listened to Chen Meng’er’s words. If it was anyone else, Madam Qu would not be so easy to talk to.
