delicious little cook

Chapter 106 The wish is fulfilled
When Gu Yun returned home from school, it wasn't until the two of them had finished their snacks that Bai Kou came over with the regulations for the ice cellar that he had just written, and asked the Sixth Young Master to hand them over to the eldest lady.

"Bai Kou, I've already become your messenger. You dare to order the young master, you are quite courageous." The sixth young master watched his girl take over the charter, slightly tilted his head and pouted.

Bai Kou saw the young master's expression of wanting conditions, and grinned, "Master Six, have you finished eating the beef jerky?"

Being said to be the center of the matter, the sixth young master Gu Chen stuck out his tongue a little bit embarrassedly, "Last time it was just a little bit, and I haven't tasted it yet, so it's gone."

"Master Six, the harvest rate of a catty of fresh meat made into jerky is about 16%, [-] taels per catty, [-]% ratio, how much jerky can you get?"

Gu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately figured out the answer in his mind, and his younger brother was not slow, he raised his hands and made a gesture of making an empty abacus, and with a few slight movements of his fingers, he got the answer.

"One catty of fresh beef only costs more than six taels of beef jerky?!" Gu Chen was a little surprised, "No wonder you can't get enough of it."

"Does the Sixth Young Master want to continue eating beef jerky? Or do you want to eat pork jerky in honey sauce?"

"Is there any today?!" Sixth Young Master Gu Chen looked at Bai Kou with hope.

"Not today." Bai Kou shook her head cruelly.

"Then, is there tomorrow?"

Bai Kou shook her finger, leading Gu Chen's gaze to the document in his girl's hand.

"Sixth young master, can I be grateful first, maidservant?"

"Okay, I'll send you a letter."

Seeing that his younger brother lost his principles just because of a little snack, Gu Yun was a little bit heartbroken, and secretly prayed that his younger brother would never grow into the figure of the third uncle's bastard.

Gu Chen wiped his mouth, got up from the table, greeted his brother, and led the girl back to Jicheng Hall to deliver the letter.

The actual transmission of the documents was of course not a matter of the Sixth Young Master doing it himself, and his girl just handed over the things to Mama Pang and it was over, but Bai Kou said that he would use pork jerky in exchange for the Sixth Young Master as a messenger.

The girl was a little aggrieved when she talked about this matter, and complained to Pang's mother that Bai Kou was too lazy to pass the message on her behalf, or let the third young master run errands for her, why couldn't she move her legs.

Pang's mother seemed to have listened to the girl's complaints, but she turned around and didn't take it seriously, and shook her head secretly at the girl's slowness.

This is such a conspicuous thing, if the eldest lady is not happy that the two young masters are always delivering letters for Bai Kou, she has already given her instructions, so how can she let the young master do it for her again and again.

Bai Kou is trying her best to show her due value, the eldest lady should be willing to give her this little convenience, and won't be too picky about her shortcomings.

At the same time, in Wenling Courtyard, Bai Kou was using a little spare time before dinner to write a list of kitchen utensils for the big oven in the East Kitchen, as well as daily necessities for the cooks and maids for the banquet.

This purchase list does not need to be approved by the eldest lady first, but Bai Kou still showed the list to the third young master, and by the way told him about Lu Meihua's sudden illness. People go to the street to find a doctor, but they still have to report to the housewife afterwards.

And Bai Kou is a ready-made mouthpiece between the East Kitchen and the master.

Gu Yun took the opportunity of saying good night to tell his mother about it.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Kou handed over the purchase list to Bo Yan. There was no custom-made items, and they were all off-the-shelf items that could be bought with money in the market. The size of a large oven made it easier to buy kitchen utensils.

In the morning, he practiced boxing step by step and tidied up the housework. Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Kou went to the East Kitchen.

After entering the kitchen courtyard, Bai Kou first went to the pantry to find out about Zeng Zhu, and told her that the purchase of oven tools had been handed over to Bo Yan.

Zeng Zhu thanked her, gave Bai Kou a cup of tea, and asked her to go to the shade to rest after watching her finish drinking.

Bai Kou was flattered to be treated so favorably all of a sudden. She obediently stood under the big tree in the yard to enjoy the shade. While she was looking at the other people in the yard, Lu Doudou sneaked out from behind the tree, trying to play a prank, but Bai Kou Hearing strange movements behind him, he turned his head and saw Lu Doudou in a posture of baring his teeth and claws.

"What are you doing? So excited on a hot day?" Bai Kou knew that Lu Doudou liked to make funny faces, but she rarely saw such exaggerated movements.

"Because I'm happy!" Lu Doudou threw herself on Bai Kou and hugged her arm and whispered.

"Have you found the money?"

"Happier than picking up money!"

"Speak or not?"

"The eldest madam sent someone to send Manager Lu home earlier, and asked her to suspend her job to recuperate! Do you think this is good news?" Lu Doudou did not dare to let others know that she was so successful, and it was really hard for her to hold back.

"Dirty dryness first requires meditation, less irritation and less anger. This requires the unanimous cooperation of the whole family. Can Steward Lu's family be harmonious?"

"I don't know. I'll find out when Wan Qiu and Hong Su come back."

"why?"

"Officer Lu was too sick to get out of bed, and the lady sent her back on a stretcher. Wan Qiu and Hong Su were sent by Manager Zeng to help pack their luggage, and they went home together."

"No wonder, I said why I didn't see them. The atmosphere in the courtyard is not right, it's too quiet."

"You weren't there when the third young master called the doctor to check everyone's pulse that day, so you don't know the details. Now these cooks and cooks, except for the ten newcomers, are somewhat unwell. They are worried that they have something wrong. I also went home due to illness one day, how could I have the mood to chat and joke."

"What about the body that was in charge?"

"She's on the good side, otherwise the third young master wouldn't have directly appointed her to be the acting manager. If the four stewards are not good, according to the rules, they have to pick someone from the first-class cook as a substitute, and it will be even more chaotic."

"Without Steward Lu, there are only three stewards left."

"Well, the male cooks are not affected. They are happy to watch the show now. I heard from them that someone among the cooks wants to fill in Lu's vacancy, even if it's temporary."

"Then Da Furen ordered that cooks are not qualified to face the master. They have to flatter Steward Zeng and give gifts to her family, begging Steward Zeng to mention their names in front of Da Furen."

"You have to give a gift just to mention your name?"

"That's right, the private competition among the chefs is much more intense than the open one, even if it involves family members. Manager Lu's illness must rest, and next summer will be the promotion competition for the manager to be the general manager. Just imagine me?"

Lu Doudou stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

After a while, the stewards came out of the tea room, and everyone gathered around and waited to be dispatched, but Zeng Zhu's No. 1 word was to publicly announce that Bai Kou would be her deputy until the end of the mourning banquet.
