Which two gods are worshiped in the hotel kitchen?

The Kitchen God is also known as the Kitchen King, Kitchen King, Kitchen Lord, Kitchen God, Kitchen Mother, East Chef and Ming, etc. Is the Kitchen God male or female? There are different opinions in ancient times. Generally, Confucian scholars think that the Kitchen God is an old woman or a beautiful woman. Nowadays, the East Chef named Fu Zaojun worshiped by the people is an old couple sitting side by side, or a man and two women sitting side by side, that is, the portrait of Zao Lord and his wife. Nowadays, the paper horses of Dongchu Siming and Dingfu Zaojun worshiped by the people are often portraits of an old couple sitting side by side, that is, the Zao Lord and his wife. It seems that the Chinese people are afraid of the loneliness of the male Kitchen God and have added a Kitchen God to worship him together, which fully embodies the "people-oriented" spirit.
