delicious little cook

Chapter 11 Whoops
"Didn't the eldest lady tell you to practice freely and the kitchen is open, so why is there no food left?" The boy who had been very quiet asked.

"Don't mention it, it's hard to describe it in a word, anyway, today is a very lively day."

"Anyway, idle is idle. Your dough may not be used until a while later. Why don't you tell me a story?"

"Hey, the result of the conflict caused by you is that Doudou and I almost fell into the well, and the rest is to fight for the opportunity to practice on the stove. We won't give in to each other, grab the ingredients, grab the pot, grab the stove, grab firewood , can grab anything.”

"You don't want to compete with them, so you just stay and practice alone facing the empty kitchen? Does the kitchen manager Wen Gushan not want to do it anymore? Seeing that the ingredients are used up, you don't want to call the warehouse to replenish them during the day? Is he very resistant to replenishing manpower?"

Bai Kou glanced at him in surprise, then looked at the empty shelf, and smiled faintly.

"The manager only talks to the stewards, and usually doesn't bother to look us in the eye. I really don't know what he thinks."

The little brother raised his eyebrows, as if he agreed with Bai Kou's statement.

"By the way, do you want to know what happened to the last snack?"

"Did it be intercepted after reaching Mama Pang's hand? Didn't it go to the table at all? Anyway, there are a lot of snacks in the kitchen, and the lady and miss won't care too much if there are a few less."

"But you didn't make any of the dim sum you recommended, aren't you curious?"

"Why does the servant girl think that he never mentioned the dim sum to Mr. Wen in detail? It's a bit of a trick on purpose. Let's see if they have maintained their previous standards after three years of silence?"

"You little apprentice is quite sensitive." The young man said this, obviously meaning it by default.

"The servant girl is the most sensitive to kitchen matters. This is the hard quality of being a good chef."

"Confidence is a good thing, but can it help you pass the final assessment?"

"That depends on how the third test is going to be done. Is it just going through the motions, anyway, every apprentice is a good seed, just pick the ones that are pleasing to the eye and keep it? Or do you really want to have more good cooks in the kitchen?"

"The mansion didn't pay you to come here to support idlers. You apprentices who are learning art are much more expensive than ordinary servants, do you know that?"

"In this case, let's make the last assessment into a grand competition. All the masters are invited to watch together, and they come to taste and score the cooked dishes. Each person has a portion of ingredients, so as to save the occurrence of scrambling for ingredients when they are available. , Some people are greedy and take everything, and some people can't get a single dish."

The little brother sat in the shadow with his head bowed in thought, and Lu Doudou walked in quietly holding the washed shallots.

Bai Kou cut the scallions into slices and chopped scallions, poked the dough, kneaded it a few times, and rolled it into thin skins with a rolling pin to make fresh noodles.

When Lu Doudou saw that the noodles were all cut, she went to the stove to light a fire, then Bai Kou took a pot to make soy sauce water and scallion oil, and then set up another pot to boil water to cook the noodles. He took the pot to the well and washed it. When he came back, Lu Doudou had already prepared all the tableware.

When the water boils, pick it up with a colander when it is cooked. At this time, the noodles are chewy, and they will be soft and rotten after cooking, and the taste is not good.

Drain the water carefully, divide into three portions and pour into bowls, pour sesame oil and mix well to avoid sticking, then soy sauce water and scallion oil, and finally sprinkle chopped scallions.

"Noodles with scallion oil, you're done."

Bai Kou brought a bowl to the little brother first, while she and Lu Doudou ate by the candlelight.

The noodles mixed with scallion oil were very fragrant, and the three of them couldn't care less about talking, they only had their own bowls in their eyes, and the sound of eating noodles wafted in the quiet kitchen.

"Mmm! Delicious!" The boy sitting in the shadows was the first to put down the bowl, licked his oily lips, and was satisfied, "Sure enough, he is full of confidence in his craftsmanship. Such a simple scallion oil noodles can be made so well. eat."

"Then...?" Bai Kou looked at the other party expectantly.

"I can't decide this matter, I can only guarantee that I will find an opportunity to mention it, but I can't do anything about what the Elder Master and Eldest Madam think in their hearts."

"As long as you give me a fair and open opportunity, the servant girl will guarantee that the mansion will never lose money in buying me." Bai Kou said seriously.

Lu Doudou beside her held her bowl and nodded desperately.

The boy stood up with a smile, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth as he walked towards the door.

"Okay, I'll remember what you said. For the sake of this bowl of noodles, I'll be a lobbyist for you."

"Thank you bro!"

"You have to live well, don't let people trick you again."

"Be sure to do your best."

The little brother's gossip before leaving made Lu Doudou's shoulders shrink again, and Bai Kou patted her hard on the back, turning her attention back to washing the dishes, wiping the table and sweeping the floor.

"Bai Kou, do I think I'm sick? I tremble when I hear people say that I'm dead or alive." Lu Doudou pursed her mouth, looking pitiful.

"The more you are like this, the more people will think you are easy to bully. Do you know that? There are 24 people, one less, and the remaining 23 people will have one more chance. Are you planning to sacrifice yourself to help others?"

"No! I didn't think so!"

"Then cheer up, go to the well and say 'fucking' three times, then go back to bed."

"This... so useful?"

"Think when you know who bumped you in the back, did you get mad?"

"Yes, very angry."

"Remobilize this anger and curse loudly at the bottom of the well. You will know whether it is useful or not when you wake up tomorrow."

"Okay, let's try it in a while!"

With Bai Kou's comfort, Lu Doudou finally looked better. The two cleaned the kitchen, put the tableware back, closed the door, and then came to the well. Lu Doudou was lying on the edge of the well with his head stretched out. Going down, she cursed three times "Fuck the fuck" in her loudest voice.

Raising her head to think about it, Lu Doudou couldn't get enough of the scolding. Lu Doudou stretched her head down and cursed three times, her throat hurt a little, and then she felt better, and went back to bed with Bai Kou hand in hand.

In the squatter, the girls were already fast asleep. Relying on their familiarity with the indoor environment, Bai Kou and Lu Doudou groped their way to their respective pillows, took off their clothes lightly, climbed onto the bunk and lay down, and fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes. caught.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up to work before dawn. Bai Kou paid close attention to Lu Doudou, and saw that her expression was indeed much better than yesterday.

At noon, after the end of the war-like lunch time, the apprentices stared at the remaining ingredients on the shelves with red eyes, and when they were thinking about what dishes they would practice today, the warehouse sent people to bring a lot of fresh ingredients to fill the shelves again. Full.

Just when everyone thought that there was a temporary banquet at night, the people in the warehouse invited Wen Gushan aside to have a whisper. Not long after, the two parties gathered the apprentices and announced a new order from the eldest lady.

The supply of food materials is guaranteed in the mansion, and the kitchen is open all day, so that the apprentices can practice their skills well, and don't fight because of the shortage of food materials.

What the Duke's Mansion wants is a good cook who can really do things, not a waste that makes the masters worry all day long.

When Bai Kou was high-fiving the people around him, he couldn't help admiring in his heart that the unknown mysterious brother was really respectable in front of the old man and his wife.

This work efficiency is great!
