delicious little cook

Chapter 102 Who Will Lose the Complaint?

"The servant girl will not disappoint you." Bai Kou smiled slightly, "However, the maidservant also has something to tell Guanshi Zeng."

"Okay, you say."

"Last time, the staff in the kitchen fiddled with the third young master's ingredients, which made the lady angry, and sent someone to clean up the ice cellar. Does Manager Zeng know?"

"Yes, I also know that a lot of ingredients that I haven't eaten in previous years have been cleaned up."

"The new regulations for the ice cellar are being written by the maidservant."

"Oh!"

Zeng Zhu's eyes widened, and she caught a glimpse of Lu Doudou and the others not far away who had been watching her side. She immediately calmed down, but her voice still revealed that she was a little excited.

"So, do you want to discuss the charter or the ice cellar with me?"

"It's the ice cellar. Because of the death order, the number of people entering and leaving the ice cellar must be limited in the future. At the same time, for the sake of the interests of all parties who have the right to use the ice cellar, the inside of the ice cellar must be divided into several areas, and the servant girl will set aside a piece of land for the East Kitchen. , but please ask the steward Zeng to persuade the other three stewards not to make trouble."

"I understand, it doesn't matter as long as it's not too different from the West Kitchen."

"There is Uncle Yan in the west kitchen. The servant girl doesn't worry about them making trouble. After all, the ice cellar belongs to the kitchen warehouse, which is the scope of Uncle Yan's responsibility. The people in the west kitchen will definitely give him face."

"Okay, just do your own thing, and if you want me to cooperate, just say it. It's a good thing to tidy up the ice cellar. You don't even know that I have seen raw and cooked food put together in the ice cellar. It is obvious that raw and cooked food are different. The shelves are placed separately, but some people are lazy and refuse to take two more steps."

Bai Kou immediately nodded with a smile, "With the words of manager Zeng, it will be easier to add more people to the ice cellar. If someone misplaces things by then, don't blame others for being ruthless."

"Although the decree of attacking the prince has not yet been made, it is only a matter of time. The Elder Master will definitely be the new generation of the Duke of the State. Just before that, he will tidy up the mansion and welcome the new atmosphere with joy."

"If the decree of attacking the prince comes down..."

"The scene of the Xijue banquet is much bigger than the filial piety banquet." Zeng Zhu's mood improved, and she had an appetite. She lowered her head and took a bite of the meal. The grandson's banquet scene, it is true that every step you take, you will meet the angels of the heavenly family, court officials, princes and noble ladies, so it is not difficult to imagine the grand scene of the royal banquet."

"It's amazing just to say that. I hope that the Ministry of Rites will have good news next month."

Bai Kou ended the conversation with pleasantries, and returned to Lu Doudou and the others with the unfinished half bowl of rice.

"what's the topic?"

Lu Doudou and the others had already finished eating, and they had been waiting for Bai Kou at the base of the wall. When they saw her coming, they immediately moved over.

"Serious topic."

"Uh, can you tell us anything?"

"We must give up Mengmei to protect everyone."

"Hey?! That's it?" Lu Doudou, Hongsu and Wanqiu looked at each other.

"This is the only thing I can tell you right now, but don't tell me, innocent girl, don't get involved in this muddy water."

"Oh."

Bai Kou finished her meal in a hurry, put down the bowl, wiped her mouth, and went back to Wenling Courtyard.

On the table under the window of her room, there is a draft of the articles of association that has been approved by the eldest lady, and it is agreed to add special staff to the ice cellar to be responsible for sorting out the public ingredients in the ice cellar at any time, while the small ice room used by the masters for private use will be taken care of by themselves , Let Bai Kou write a list of the shelves and other things that need to be added.

Bai Kou had written this list a long time ago. When she was writing the draft of the charter and thought of adding manpower, she made a list together. Now that the eldest lady has agreed to add new people, the list is ready-made.

Bai Kou read the Da Furen's red batch carefully several times to make sure that he did not misunderstand Da Furen's meaning, and went to bed for an afternoon nap with a relaxed mood of completing the errand.

After sleeping for almost a stick of incense, Bai Kou got up, washed his face and cleaned up the housework, then went to the ice cellar to get ingredients for afternoon snacks, and started to work in the small kitchen.

When Gu Yun came home from school, he waited for his younger brother to come over and have some snacks together. This time it was the Sixth Young Master's turn to be the messenger, and he took the list written by Bai Kou back to his mother for review.

The eldest lady's office efficiency is also amazing. In the evening, after Gu Yun ate dinner and said good night to the elders, he got a reply from his mother. All the things listed on the list have been approved, and tomorrow they will send people out to find craftsmen to make them. come out.

"My lady asks you, everything has been approved, when will the original version of the charter come out?"

"The general content of the charter has been finalized, and all that remains is to discuss with the chief managers of the east and west kitchens. Yan Bo is in charge of the west kitchen, and the maidservant is in charge of the east kitchen. I have already discussed with the steward Zeng Zhu during the day. She said that as long as The territory obtained by the two kitchens is about the same size, so the three stewards will not add to the chaos, but the servant girl feels that she still needs to talk to the three of them to show respect."

Gu Yun recalled the day when he took the doctor to the east kitchen to check the pulse of everyone. Among the four stewards, Zeng Zhu was the healthiest, and the other three had various problems, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Is the East Kitchen fairly peaceful these days?"

Bai Kou scratched her face and said nothing.

Gu Yun shook the folding fan, feeling in his heart that his mother had not been easy handling housework for so many years, "What happened to them?"

"For those cooks and cooks who have been suspended from work, it is said that rumors spread that Wen Gushan's wife once wanted to enter the back door into the kitchen to tear Mengmei apart."

"Then?"

"Then Mengmei wanted the maid to save her."

"result?"

"As a result, the servant girl didn't agree, so she spread the news in the East kitchen that the servant girl had a private meeting with a man."

Gu Yun snapped his folding fan away, wanted to get angry, but found that he had no energy to get angry.

"Of the five new cooks left behind, why is she the stupidest! Does she still think that her first place in the competition is due to her real ability?"

"It probably never occurred to her that she would have already passed out."

"You go and warn her that the filial piety banquet is coming soon, and you need manpower to do things, so keep her temporarily. If her behavior continues to be bad during this period, sell her to the mine after the official business is over."

"Third young master, you don't need to sell it to the mine. Isn't that a dead end?"

"All those who don't work hard during this period and insist on making trouble, once the filial piety is over, both men and women will be sold to the mines. We can't afford servants who can't work honestly and drag their feet."

"Oh, yes, Third Young Master, the servant girl will tell Zeng Zhu to take charge tomorrow."

Gu Yun pursed his lips impatiently, and shook the folding fan a few times, "Is this a trivial matter?"

"actually……"

"It's over, this must be worse news." Gu Yun had a habit of talking about things with Bai Kou.

"The steward Zeng Zhu told the servant girl himself at noon."

"what's up?"

Although Gu Yun hated Bai Kou's stammering, he still couldn't help answering her words.
