Hogwarts Food Master

Sofia chatted with Wang Chao for a while, and suddenly heard Roman shouting with a magically amplified voice, "Sofia, what are you doing? We are all starving!"

"It seems I have to go," Sofia shrugged. "Although Mr. Roman is indeed rude, he is not bad in nature. He is like a spoiled child. I have to do everything. I am a wet nurse and do the work of a general manager."

Wang Chao said very sympathetically, "Thank you for your hard work. Do you need any help? My cooking skills are not bad."

Sofia's eyes lit up and she said, "It's really good. Our head chef is a bastard. He has no ability. He also takes bribes. He has no other ability except to flatter her. He actually wants to ride on my head because Mr. Roman dotes on her. , she has been having a cold war with me these past two days and refuses to cook well, it would be great if you would help."

Wang Chao didn't expect that he would encounter such a palace fight. Regardless of the rights and wrongs, Sophia was Pepe's wet nurse.

Pepe went behind Roman's back and asked her to receive him, which was enough to illustrate Sofia's status and loyalty. It was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong in this kind of palace fight. Basically, everyone spoke and acted from their own standpoints.

However, Wang Chao believed Sofia a little bit when it came to black tea.

The black tea I'm drinking now cannot be said to be bad. In fact, it is quite good, but the price/performance ratio is the worst. No normal person would buy it.

It is said that only Muggle royals like to drink this exorbitantly expensive Indian black tea.

As a chef in the magic world who must be somewhat famous, it is impossible for him not to know this.

To put it another way, when you purchase black tea, why don’t you try it yourself?

Did you really buy it with your eyes closed?

This is not what a qualified chef does.

As for corruption and bribery, this is normal in a large kitchen.

Although there is a saying that eating meat and drinking soup means everyone reaps the benefits, a team has different divisions of labor, and some positions are better than others.

The person who assigns the work is the executive chef, so some people pay to have a better position. Although this is not common, it is something that happens in the area.

In fact, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and dirty things happen everywhere.

The key lies in the distribution of benefits.

Following Sofia through countless rooms, they finally found the huge kitchen in the direction of the back door of the castle.

As for why it is at the back door, this is the normal operation of a large manor.

In fact, not only the kitchen, but also warehouses and other places where daily supplies are stored are here.

After all, the front door is the facade, and those who greet guests are sent through the front door. When the guests are being greeted, a white van suddenly comes out.

A group of breadmen got off the van and began to deliver elbows, sausages, kidneys and the like to the castle. This was outrageous.

You are a decent person, so the back door is specially used for transportation.

Therefore, for convenience, large kitchens are generally located near the back door. Just around the corner from the door is the cold storage.

With a small dining cart, it only takes about 1 minute to get food to the front, which is very convenient.

When he came to the kitchen, Wang Chao saw a blond woman with blue eyes and a hot figure, about 40 to [-] years old. She was teaching a young apprentice with her hands on her hips.

"Today we are going to make fried rice. Do you know how to prepare the rice for fried rice?"

Obviously, this female chef fits Sophia's description very well, and she is probably the female executive chef named Emily.

Wang Chao couldn't help but look up and down a few more times. I'm afraid Roman was interested in more than just her cooking skills. This beautiful cook's skill in bed was probably even more important than her cooking skills.

However, what he heard next made the veins on Wang Chao's head pop out.

Emily grabbed the rice pot and slapped the little apprentice hard, "Trash! Can't you stir-fry the rice when it's hot? Don't you know how to rinse it with cold water?"

Wang Chao couldn't believe his ears for a moment. To be honest, this kind of operation was beyond his cognitive scope.

The rice for fried rice is steamed, but it's too hot to stir-fry, so it's washed with cold water?

Sofia was about to speak, but Wang Chao reached out to stop her. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't say who I am, just say I am a guest. I am really curious about how this chef cooks."

Sophia understood somewhat. Wang Chao must have seen some problems, so he had his own plan.

Although she is not a master chef, she is also a mother of six children and is no stranger to the business in the kitchen.

This is also the first time she has heard of this kind of cooking. Normally, shouldn't the rice be allowed to cool on its own?

How wet is it after washing it with water?

Moreover, the sweetness and texture of the rice itself will be washed away, so what else is there to eat?

Anyway, Sophia has never eaten that kind of soggy, sticky fried rice in her life, and just thinking about it makes her feel sick.

Emily poured a lot of ice water into the rice pot, stirred it a few times, and tested the temperature. It felt like it was OK.

"What are you still doing? Find a filter!"

The little apprentice was obviously afraid of Emily and went to rummage in the kitchen blankly.

Only then did Wang Chao discover that although the kitchen looked clean on the surface, when the apprentice opened the drawer, he found that it was actually very messy inside and the kitchen supplies were arranged in an unorganized manner.

The young apprentice finally found a filter from the drawer, which almost made Wang Chao laugh.

This is a seafood filter, used to filter out the small seafood mixed in.

The mesh is about the size of a thumb nail. Use this kind of mesh to filter rice, and in the end there will be 100% only an empty pot.

This little guy is really not very clever.

Sure enough, Emily broke through the defense again!

"You little brat, are you going to put some eye drops on me?" Emily was about to raise her hand to hit again when she suddenly saw Sophia and Wang Chao.

Although Emily didn't know who Wang Chao was, she guessed that he was probably a guest, but she didn't understand why Sophia brought the guest to the kitchen.

Sofia smiled slightly and said, "This is Wang Chao, one of our guests. He is just curious about what we are going to eat today, and Mr. Roman is hungry."

Emily looked Wang Chao up and down, and said unceremoniously, "Are you the Wang Chao that Mr. Roman always scolds you for, and even scolds you for talking in his sleep at night?"

One sentence revealed a lot of information, which also confirmed Wang Chao's guess.

As expected, this Emily had an affair with Roman, and they even slept together recently.

Otherwise, it would never be her turn to hear Roman talking in his sleep.

Wang Chaoxin said, how much does Roman hate me...

But he still maintained basic courtesy, although deep down in his heart, he really wanted to pinch Emily's neck and tell her how to make this fried rice!

But I still have to live with it in terms of face, after all, this is the lover of my prospective father-in-law...

Anyway, it's just awkward. Sometimes I really can't stand the corrupt private life of the rich and powerful, but I can also see how rare it is for Pepe to be so innocent and pure after growing up in such an environment.
