Enforcer's Handbook

This is the first time Song Lan reported false identity information in the process of exchanging sincerity for sincerity, but before coming to the second district, he had heard that there is no sincerity between big families, and a sincerity can only be achieved in the end. In exchange, the other party stabs you in the back.

Now it seems that even the head maid of the Iris Consortium is no exception.

She never had any intention of telling her name, so from now on, he's just Rob Lucci with a talking vulture on his shoulder.

In the following process of getting along with each other, Song Lan gradually discovered something unusual about the head maid.

For example, there is a leg ring at the base of her thigh under the hem of her skirt. There are a total of five shining throwing knives stuck in the leg ring.

No wonder Mrs. Kalida's personal guards would trust themselves to the head maid. It seems that the head maid is still a fighting maid.

It's amazing, I never thought there was such a cooking skill.

The head maid watched the whole process of his cooking.

However, unlike the knights of the Guards, she stood less than two meters away from Song Lan throughout the process, carefully observing his movements in handling each ingredient. Her sapphire-like pupils exuded a soft light. Song Lan knew The head maid is using her prosthetic eye to take notes.

When she encounters something she doesn't understand, she will humbly ask for advice until she understands the function of every seasoning Song Lan brings.

The head maid is very smart.

She is also very knowledgeable about cooking. From the questions she asked, it can be judged that she is by no means a person who is not diligent in her limbs and does not distinguish between grains.

Song Lan couldn't help but recall the 13 chefs mentioned by the other party, and suddenly realized that when they were sent home, it was probably the head maid who was personally responsible for the meals of the consortium's important officials.

It is truly worthy of being the leading conglomerate of the coalition government. It has such a fighting maid who is full of life skills and has both beauty and grace.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for Song Lan to have much affection for the head maid.

Although she had been deliberately speaking softly and showing enough respect for him, now it reminded him of a scene from Breaking Bad.

The head maid is indeed sincerely learning from him, but her purpose is probably to kick him away after learning all his skills.

I didn't expect you to be interested in cooking.

This is also part of the job. I admire your skills very much, so I need to make sure that if you die unfortunately one day, I can preserve these skills of yours.

Appeared again.

The sinister head maid always smiles and says a creepy remark without warning.

Then she laughed like a silver bell again, Just kidding, just kidding, I don't always learn from others. Just like the 13 chefs invited by the consortium before, they have nothing worth learning from. , I see something different from them in you.

what you mean?

The spirit of craftsman, I think only those who have devoted their lives to food can possibly develop these skills.

Frankly speaking, Song Lan blushed when the head maid praised her.

He has no craftsman spirit at all. He just copied the recipes left by the old craftsmen, and he never intended to devote his life to gourmet food.

After a few conversations, the head maid returned to the work itself, Chili, cumin, and Sichuan peppercorns are all very pungent seasonings. Why do you focus on using them in all the dishes? I remember you just told To me, the balance of flavors is very important in a well-rounded recipe.”

Do you want to hear the truth or lies?

Song Lan also asked jokingly.

The truth.

It was out of my selfishness.

Selfish?

The 13 chefs you invited before have all presented their favorite dishes to the eldest lady, but how many of them have actually been tasted by the eldest lady?

...No, the eldest lady has been relying on nutritional injections recently.

When answering, the head maid's tone was also mixed with strong frustration. Not only the 13 chefs, but also the dishes she carefully prepared, Isabel, only gave her a cold glance and put them aside.

Yes, no matter how delicious the dish is, as long as the other person doesn't taste it, they won't be able to understand its secrets.

Song Lan continued, According to my observation, your cooking method is mainly roasting, which can indeed maximize the original taste of the ingredients, but once they are allowed to cool, people will completely lose their appetite... …So as a chef, the first thing I have to consider is how to make the eldest lady interested in the dishes.”

While talking, Song Lan poured the chopped Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers into the pot. The aroma that hit her nostrils instantly made the head maid tremble. This powerful smell made her couldn't help but sniff it several times. Down.

As the ingredients continue to stir-fry in the pot, the entire kitchen is bathed in this appetizing aroma.

She even forgot to record Song Lan's skills for a while, and her eyes fell on Song Lan's profile for a long time. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but this chef who came all the way from a neutral country had some kind of indescribable magnanimity. His knowledge in the field of cooking , which made her want to have a more in-depth communication with the other party.

Taste needs to be felt through tasting, but vision and smell are different. This is the first impact of food. The seasonings I choose are to maximize the 'color' and 'fragrance' specialty.

This is the result of Song Lan's long-term practice, because for him, food is closely related to the happiness of his life.

In the past, in order to get vacation, he had to bribe Supervisor Lu.

However, Director Lu has always been a strong-willed person, and she also reprimanded and rejected his bribery methods. She threatened that even if she didn't have dinner tonight and was hungry, she would never approve Song Lan's vacation again.

He also encountered the same problem.

For this reason, he racked his brains and tried his best, and finally defeated his supervisor's psychological defense with Sichuan cuisine.

Thinking of this, Song Lan suddenly felt a surge of strength. Although Lu Xiang was not here now, he suddenly felt like fighting alongside her.

The characteristics of 'color' and 'fragrance'...

The head maid muttered to herself.

This was an area she had never touched before, yet it was easy to understand when it came out of Song Lan's mouth.

The aroma had already enveloped her, and the rosy and translucent dishes seemed to be sending an invitation to her with an invisible voice. She even wanted to put her identity as the head maid out of her mind for a while and explore this place in person, which condensed Song Lan's knowledge and experience. The crystallization of theory.

No, this is the lady's dinner.

Maybe it can really reawaken the young lady’s appetite!

She thought silently in her heart and had unprecedented confidence in Song Lan's results.

Until an unexpected voice interrupted her thoughts.

——This is where the fragrance comes from.

A young man strode into the kitchen, followed by two Guards knights.

Song Lan noticed that the emblem on the knight's chest was different from those he had encountered before, and he guessed that the young man should come from another family in the consortium.

The head maid quickly confirmed his suspicion. She saluted the young man respectfully, Master Frantin.

Looks like you finally found a good cook.

After sizing up Song Lan, the young man looked at the dishes that had just been cooked by the stove with interest.

Master Frantin, this belongs to the eldest lady...

Huh? Are you talking about something?

Frantin ignored the head maid's persuasion, picked up the tableware in front of her and enjoyed the food as if no one else was around.

Seeing this, the head maid didn't speak anymore. She lowered her head, with a hint of evil in her eyes.

For a moment, the only sound left in the kitchen was the sound of the young man chewing.

Yes, the common people outside can finally bring some new tricks.

After tasting a few bites of each dish, a smile appeared on the young man's face, and he ordered the knight behind him, Take these back and give them to others to taste.

The knight faithfully performed the task given by the young man. The young man glanced at Song Lan arrogantly and said, I am Frantin Monk. I appreciate your craftsmanship, but you shouldn't waste it on For those who don’t appreciate it, come and work for us... There’s no rush to answer, you can think about it carefully.”

…

The knights of the Guards not only packed the dishes, but also brought back the remaining ingredients.

This made Song Lan realize that things were not simple.

Frantin Monk was not a glutton attracted here by the smell. Everything he did seemed to be to prevent Isabel from having dinner.

Or, to be more precise, he simply wanted to provoke Isabel, and the entire Gilvis family.
