delicious little cook

Chapter 109

Just when Bai Kou was getting used to this unprecedented experience, suddenly she noticed that several servants who were going to come forward stiffly turned around and pretended not to see her leaving.

Bai Kou stopped and turned around abruptly. Three or four steps away from her, the third young master Gu Yun was looking at him with raised eyebrows while holding his school bag.

"Third Young Master! It's so early today!"

"It seems that you are very popular."

"It's nothing!" Bai Kou ran towards Gu Yun with small steps, took the bookbag from his hand, and walked behind him while chatting.

"You came out of the warehouse? What are you doing in the warehouse if you're not making snacks in Wenlingyuan at this time?"

"The eldest lady appointed the maidservant to be the acting deacon of the ice cellar, and the maidservant is only here to meet Uncle Yan."

"Oh? The appointment came down so soon?"

"Third young master, do you know about this?"

"I said I would give you a big reward." Gu Yun looked around at the pedestrians walking against the wall, "How is it? Has anyone given you a gift?"

"I gave a few, but I haven't had time to unpack them, they are well packaged."

"You can be regarded as a person with a little power now, so you have to be measured when doing things."

"My servant understands, please rest assured, Third Young Master."

"What do you want to eat later?"

Bai Kou blinked, and the third young master didn't change the subject at all.

"I haven't had time to do it yet, and I haven't made any preparations."

"why?"

"Officer Lu was suspended and went home. Steward Zeng appointed a servant girl to be her assistant, and they have been discussing the filial banquet at noon."

"Yo, I didn't see that, you're a busy man now."

"Third Young Master, would you like to eat something simple?"

"What to eat?"

"Assorted mixes? All kinds of ingredients, cook and mix."

"Sounds so shabby."

"Third young master, just this time, don't make an exception." Bai Kou pleaded pitifully.

"That's what you said, next time you tighten up your skin for me."

"The servant girl will go back to Wenling Courtyard to make preparations, third young master, please go slowly."

Holding Gu Yun's book bag, Bai Kou ran away at her fastest pace without looking back.

The little girls in Wenling Courtyard were still waiting for Bai Kou to come back from the warehouse to congratulate her, but when they saw her come in carrying the young master's book bag, the courtyard immediately became busy, waiting for Gu Yun to step into his small courtyard leisurely, The Meilunmeihuan sisters had already greeted him at the door.

"Master so early today?"

"Well, my master is not feeling well, and I will take a day off tomorrow."

Gu Yun was gossiping with the girl, went into the upper room to change his clothes and clean his face, and when he came out of the bedroom in a clean and comfortable suit, before he finished his cup of iced tea, the assorted mix was brought in.

Who would have expected that the master would be unwell and leave school early, and the girls hurried to the ice cellar to get ice, it was too late, there was no ice water to chill, and the cold salad was not so cold in the mouth, but fortunately, the hot and sour taste made up for it Knowing this, appetizing and cooling off the heat, coupled with the full portion, Gu Yun forgave today's shabby snack.

Bai Kou was still busy in the small kitchen, taking care of the third young master and the sixth young master. Fortunately, the young master was not as picky as his brother, so Bai Kou decided to bake a oven of honey buns for him as snacks and refreshments.

Fortunately, when the freshly baked honey buns were delivered to Jichengtang, the sixth young master had just entered the house. Seeing that the snacks were delivered, he stopped going to Wenling courtyard. After seeing his mother, he stayed in his room I read a book and eat at the same time.

Bai Kou, who snatched back the time, was finally able to sit down and have a rest, tidy up her slightly messy desk, and unwrap the presents one by one to see what they were.

Among the five or six presents are things that girls wear on their bodies. They all look new, and they are ordinary things. The gifts on her table probably belonged to capable people with inside information.

For such a person, of course Bai Kou would not refute his good intentions to make friends by returning a gift. Yan Bo was right, and there might be a chance to work together as an errand in the future.

With this little rest time, Bai Kou couldn't lie on her stomach completely. She tidied up the table, spread out the notes discussed with Zeng Zhu at noon, took a new writing paper, and used the pen that the lady gave her, Happy to organize the notes into a text that can be presented to the masters for reading, and carefully put a piece of waste paper on the handwriting that has been written, so as not to rub the ink on the paper with the palm of the hand.

Bai Kou found that the big advantage of the beautiful small characters written with a slender pen tip is that it saves paper. After all, she is more used to writing with a hard pen. Now even her handwriting is much more neat, and it doesn't look like a ghost drawing at all.

Well, probably the lady finally couldn't bear her ugly handwriting, so she remembered this set of pens and inks from a certain overseas country. I hope that there are matching inks for sale in Yirenfang.

It was not easy to sort out the content of the discussion with Zeng Zhu. Bai Kou took a short errand. Before going to the small kitchen to cook dinner, he first wrote down the requirements for the increase in manpower in the ice cellar, and after the dinner was over, he handed it over to the third young master. He handed it over to the eldest lady.

Gu Yun, who was full and lazy, took the thin piece of paper and looked at it. The expression on his face seemed to be the first time he discovered that Bai Kou could write.

"So you can write well!"

"Thank you, Ma'am, for giving me a good pen."

"Did you get used to this kind of pen when you were a child?"

"This..." Bai Kou was suddenly stopped by the question, rolling his eyes and desperately trying to make up a lie.

Gu Yun saw Bai Kou scratching her ears and cheeks, and saw the two beautiful sisters standing beside her. He thought it was because Bai Kou didn't want to expose her background in front of others, so he shrugged his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions. It is to carefully read the content on the paper.

In fact, in a word, the four additional staff in the ice cellar must be married and have children, and it is best to be a healthy maid who has given birth to a son.

Gu Yun rolled his eyes, looked at Bai Kou, and shook the paper in his hand, "Don't you want to explain?"

"Madam understands."

"Master, I don't understand."

"It's very cold inside the ice cellar, and women's physique is the most resistant to cold. Unmarried girls work in the ice cellar. If the cold is too severe, it will directly affect their fertility. That's why the maid asked to have a child, and the child was a son. In this way, I won’t be afraid of the cold air hurting my body and worrying that I won’t be able to give birth to a son.”

"you think too much."

"My servant just doesn't want to be blamed in the future." Bai Kou showed a sweet and innocent smile.

Gu Yun stood up helplessly, folded the paper into small pieces and tucked it into his belt, and went out with his arms swinging to say good night to his elders.

The lady's reaction after receiving the note was exactly the same as that of the eldest son, and the order was not reversed. However, even though she felt that Bai Kou was thinking too much, she still asked Mama Pang to handle it, and asked Bai Kou to choose a few more people. Especially those who are strong enough to withstand the cold, because the longest work in the ice cellar is to break the whole block of ice into pieces, so that the maids in each house and courtyard can lead them to make ice trays for the masters.
