delicious little cook

Chapter 112

Early the next morning, after sending the third young master to school, Bai Kou practiced boxing a few times in the yard, then took a basket to pack the presents, changed his clothes, and headed to the East Kitchen.

He stopped for a while in front of Third Aunt Nie's hut, and gave her three pieces of clothing. The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Bai Kou picked up the basket and went around the lane to the small courtyard of the third-class cook.

She took a little time to come here, knowing that the breakfast time was over at this moment, the handymen started to work, and the cooks and cooks had a rest time, and most of them were cleaning up the housework.

The courtyard door was naturally open in broad daylight, and Bai Kou went straight in and bolted the courtyard door.

A group of people who were washing clothes by the well heard the movement, and came over to check the water in their hands, only to find that it was Bai Kou.

"Huh?! Bai Kou? It's so early today?" Lu Doudou wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, and suddenly forgot that he should change his name.

Bai Kou raised the basket, made a silent gesture, and lowered her voice, "Do you want a gift?"

All the kitchen ladies happily welcomed Bai Kou to Lu Doudou's room, lifted the cover from the basket, and spread the contents on the bed.

Bai Kou took out the gift for Zeng Zhu in advance, and they divided the rest among themselves, and told them to call her Bai Kou in private.

"Bai Kou, you are not the acting deacon who was mentioned yesterday, where did you get so many things?" Lu Doudou is not in a hurry to grab others, it is important to speak first.

"It's all given by others. If there is something useful to eat, I will keep it. I will share it with you. Anyway, I can't use it all by myself. I'm afraid you will dislike it."

"No, no, how can you dislike it? These are all brand new. People give you gifts to make friends with you. If the gift is flawed, it's not a slap in the face of themselves." Sister-in-law Qian has a family, so it's natural for her to be so sophisticated Know more.

"Someone will give you a gift after mentioning the acting deacon?" Wan Qiu asked in surprise and curiosity.

"That's right, isn't the ice cellar going to need more staff? Giving gifts and making friends is one aspect, and on the other hand, some people want to find a job for their family."

"Sister-in-law Qian, has the request for more people in the ice cellar spread?" Bai Kou asked deliberately.

"Words spread. Everyone in the kitchen knows that someone is thinking about it. As far as I know, there are a few daughters-in-law of cooks and cooks who have met your request. But it just so happened that you were so busy yesterday. Someone must be looking for you."

"It's useless to look for me. The selection is done by Pang's mother. I will use whoever she sends me."

"Pang's mother must have received the gift softly. You want four people, and she will send you six. You can keep the four you are most satisfied with in a few days, and return the two. As long as the reason is right, who can say What."

"Wow, the doorway here is really winding!" The little girls nodded in amazement.

"Well, it's a good idea to try it out for three to five days." Bai Kou felt that this was indeed a good suggestion.

Everyone laughed, Xiulan patted Sister-in-law Qian on the shoulder and praised her for being smart.

While chatting and laughing, everyone shared the presents for the bed, and Bai Kou repeatedly told them to keep it secret before saying goodbye to them and looking for Zeng Zhu.

This is a test. The mouths of Lu Doudou and the other three girls can be trusted. If Sister-in-law Qian and Xiulan's mouths are not tight, there will be no good things to take care of them in the future.

Zeng Zhu was also washing clothes in the courtyard at this time, Bai Kou put the presents in her room, and then came out and sat under the big tree in the courtyard to talk to her, but she didn't say a few words, a handyman rushed to report the news, the new Bought oven tool delivered.

The two hurriedly packed up and rushed to the kitchen compound. The warehouseman brought a list written by Bai Kou himself. She checked everything against each other, and even bought the protective cloth.

After the people in the warehouse left, Bai Kou gave the new kitchen utensils to the handymen to clean. She carried the cloth to Zeng Zhu's room. According to the washing standard of three masks per person, Bai Kou cut the gauze into suitable lengths. Strips, because they are only used in the kitchen, so there is no need to pursue thickness, but they must also be able to block droplets.

In addition to gauze, there are also finished women's head scarves and materials for making heat-insulating gloves, because the male chefs themselves have small handkerchiefs wrapped in buns on their heads, but the cooks have random hairstyles without covering their heads. From then on, as long as they are During working hours, you must dress neatly.

Bai Kou and Zeng Zhu cooperated with each other and roughly cut the fabric before cooking lunch, but they were not in a hurry to send it out, because they didn't know what the mask looked like, so Bai Kou had to take the gauze back to Wenling Courtyard and find someone to make it now , and then bring it back for everyone to follow suit.

Fortunately, there are quite a lot of gauze tails left, even enough for the girls in Wenlingyuan to make a few for each of them. They also help out in the kitchen every day, so Bai Kou rolled up the gauze and brought them back to the girls after lunch. Also a point.

When the two of them packed up the house and rushed to the kitchen compound, the cooks and cooks were almost there, but they were all watching the new oven tools. They had been detained in the mansion for too long, and they were very excited to see something new. Fresh.

Now that all the tools are ready, Bai Kou decides to try the dishes at noon the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon, he will make preliminary preparations for braised pork with fermented glutinous rice, put it in the ice cellar overnight, and steam it for two hours in the morning the day after tomorrow just to serve.

After finishing the lunch time step by step, Bai Kou went to Zeng Zhu's house to get his things and left. He went back to Wenling Courtyard and asked Aunt Su to make masks and heat-insulating gloves for her. My aunt understood Bai Kou's meaning, and did this simple needlework with one hand.

Bai Kou went back to the room and wrote a note, and sent the little girl to Jicheng Hall to Mama Pang, telling her that the East Kitchen had decided to try the dishes the day after tomorrow, and if there was any new request, please bring it up.

The little girl came back quickly with Mama Pang's reply letter. The note only asked her to walk once according to the established plan. She didn't need to worry too much, but don't forget to take care of the lunch of the young lady and the aunts at noon the day after tomorrow.

With this reply, Bai Kou was finally able to write a note to Yan Bo with confidence, asking for the ingredients for a dish test tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Early the next morning, when the warehouse delivered the day's ingredients to East Kitchen, it delivered the large piece of pork belly that Bai Kou wanted.

When Bai Kou went to work in the morning, she took the masks and heat-insulating gloves that Aunt Su helped make yesterday. The gloves were hung on the wall of the oven room, and the masks were for the cooks. And women's turbans were taken out and distributed to everyone.

The male cooks were too lazy to take home such a simple mask for their mother-in-law, so they asked the cooks to do it for them, and the cooks happily took it.

When cooking the meal that day, Bai Kou was dressed neatly, with a headscarf and a mask. Zeng Zhu used her as a model and asked everyone to dress like this before entering the kitchen to work.

Wearing a mask to do things in a stuffy kitchen is actually quite uncomfortable, but thinking of other people who have been suspended since this period of time, no one dares to object
