âIt turns out that it is Miss Clarke, please wait a moment.â The middle-aged manâs voice sounded polite.
Cindy Clarke waited for about five minutes, and the door finally opened.
A middle-aged man with a gentle and warm look walked out from inside.
âMiss Clarke, hello, I am the housekeeper here, my last name is Howard.â Butler Howard said.
âHello.â Cindy Clarke hurriedly said.
âLeave it to me.â Seeing that Cindy Clarke was really holding a lot of things, Butler Howard wanted to take them over.
âItâs okay.â Cindy Clarke hurriedly said.
âDonât be polite.â Butler Howard insisted on taking them over.
So Cindy just gave him half, and still held on to the other half herself.
But following that, a vounq man came out from behind Butler Howard.
Butler Howard said, âMiss Clarke, you can leave this to him.â Cindy Clarke didnât refuse anymore.
The young man was the gardener of the Zhekova Family.
Cindy Clarke followed Butler Howard, passing along the corridor, and saw all kinds of exquisite carvings along the way, as well as the ingeniously designed courtyard in the middle.
When they arrived at the main house, there were eight old ladies sitting inside.
This situation made Cindy Clarke a little nervous. One of the old ladies saw Cindy and stood up with a smile, âYou must be Cindy.â âYou are Mrs. Zhekova.â Cindy Clarke asked.
âYes, yes.â Old Madam Zhekova warmly held Cindyâs arm, âRemember that these are all my old friends. Today, itâs rare that we all have the time to get together, so itâs quite a treat.â
âThere are quite a few people, and it will be hard for you at noon today.â Old Madam Zhekova smiled and said.
âItâs alright, this is also an opportunity for me to gain some experience.â Cindy Clarke hurriedly said, âBy the way, where is the kitchen? I am going to prepare now.â
âLet Clara go with you, she can also help you out a bit.â Old Madam Zhekova immediately said.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked over. She was Clara Evans, as referred to by Old Madam Zhekova.
âJust call her Aunt Evans, she is Butler Howardâs wife.â Old Madam Zhekova introduced.
Cindy Clarke was a little surprised that Old Madam Zhekova introduced her in such detail. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMiss Clarke, please follow me.â Aunt Evans smiled and said.
âYou can just call me Cindy.â Cindy followed Aunt Evans.
âLet me help you, wash the vegetables, and cut them. Donât be polite, just hand it to me.â Aunt Evans said, âI usually take care of the meals and daily life for the old couple. Itâs just that today there are many people, and the old madam rarely invites her good friends, so she wants to try a different taste.â
âMy cooking skill is just for making home-cooked dishes. It canât compare to a pro chef.â Aunt Evans explained.
âIâm not a professional chef either, I just hope that several old people will like it.â Cindy Clarke laughed and said.
Her preparing for so many people by herself was indeed a little overwhelming.
So, Cindy wouldnât be polite with Aunt Evans either.
âLetâs make the cold dishes first, so they can eat them first and whet their appetites.â Cindy Clarke said, âFor the cold dishes, Iâve prepared Pomelo Salad, Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Garlic Steamed Pork, and seafood with sauce.â
âOkay.â Aunt Evans did as Cindy told her.
She cut the vegetables accordingly.
Fry the sliced onions in oil, then fry the deveined shrimp until golden brown, pound the baked cashews, add the baked coconut, then mix the lemon leaves and red chili segments together, and finally add the squeezed lemon juice to the sweet and spicy sauce, along with the small pieces of pomelo, to make a refreshing pomelo salad.
When Aunt Evans went to deliver the dishes to the dining room and returned, Cindy had already rolled the Vietnamese spring rolls..
