delicious little cook

Chapter 119

In the early morning of the next day, the warehouse came to deliver the ingredients, and brought a reply letter from Uncle Yan. The letter said that Zhao Qi’s family had already known about the meeting and would wait until after the filial piety to make an appointment. As for Zhao Qi’s cousin, let’s forget it. , the family has a lot of wealth but the son is not well-bred, not a playboy but has the faults of a playboy, so I told Bai Kou to stop thinking about this young man, and introduce reliable ones later.

Bai Kou told the two sisters exactly what was written in the letter. Meilun was relaxed at first, but she became nervous again after being teased by her sister. When it comes to getting married, there is plenty of time to find a good one slowly.

After serving the third young master for breakfast and sending him off to school, Bai Kou changed clothes to meet Aunt Wu, practiced kung fu with Mrs. Bao Ersister a few times, and then went to the side of the tree to enjoy the cool and drink water to rest.

Sister-in-law Bao Er took out a small packet of homemade ginger candy from her purse and asked Bai Kou to eat it. It was made with tender ginger soaked in sugar water.

The two sat and chatted, and the sister-in-law told Bai Kou a lot about the personnel affairs in the mansion, who was in charge, who knew who and what power, and Bao Er's sister-in-law was born in the family, all of which she knew since she was a child. Now that he is patrolling the mansion again, he has seen many people and knows more gossip than the girls in Wenlingyuan.

While chatting, Second Sister-in-Law Bao came up with another fresh gossip.

"Hey, Sister Kou, I heard that the Seventh Young Master took the ice these few days and didn't return the bag?"

"Yeah, you all know about this?"

"You Bingjiao quarreled with Seventh Young Master's girl because of this matter, so many people saw it."

"The seventh young master uses the most ice every day among all the young masters and ladies in the mansion. The straw bags he took away have never been returned. Naturally, the ice cellar has to ask, sister-in-law, do you think it is your duty?"

"Duty is naturally duty, but do you know where so many straw bags went?"

"Sister-in-law knows?"

Second Sister Bao looked around with a mocking expression on her face.

"Take it to pave the floor."

"What?!"

"I'm not going to lie to you. The patrolling women's nursing home saw it with their own eyes. The straw bag containing the ice is so small and it's still brand new. How could they admit it wrong?"

"Where did the store go?"

"The yard where the servants live is a bit potholed, and it's easy to accumulate water. Those old women find some straw bags to pave the floor. They used to ask the warehouse for some broken bags. This time, for some reason, they got new bags from your ice cellar."

"I always thought that someone took a fancy to the new bag and wanted to dry it and put something in it."

"Yes, there should be some to store things. There don't seem to be many on the floor."

"Sister-in-law, I don't understand. Why do you take it for granted? Especially knowing that the ice cellar has a deputy deacon, if there is anything, you can directly tell the eldest lady."

"You think they are thinking too well. If they have the brains to think that this level is powerful, they will not take your bag. In fact, it has become a habit to take advantage of it. They think that it is no big deal for a few pennies. I think the master knows I won’t pursue it. Sister Kou, tell the truth, have you reported it?”

Bai Kou suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, how did you know you reported it?"

The second sister-in-law Bao looked at Bai Kou and said happily, "You don't know that, do you? There are no secrets in the mansion. The more people want to keep it secret, the faster the news will spread. If there are too many people, there will be confusion. It's as airtight as an iron barrel." Only the long room is the only one. The old lady is alone and nothing to be said. The second room and the third room are so much fun. The third room is the most lively. The seventh young master uses more ice and greedy ice packs. Sentence? What's more, there is new news about the ice cellar."

"Yes, there are eight newcomers in the ice cellar."

I just gave them candy yesterday, and told them to keep it secret. Today, I found out from others that they leaked the news. Bai Kou felt that their mouths were faster than his own, but that was good, there was a reason to change people, and the fault finding was successful.

"Be careful, there are many people who will annoy you."

"Just for a few straw bags?"

"That's right, you didn't pay for the straw bag out of your own pocket, so reporting it is obviously a fuss." Mrs. Bao Er poked Bai Kou's forehead, "You became a deacon at a young age. You are clearly the deacon. How long have you been in the mansion? How long have you been the chef of the third young master? Who will convince you, don’t you think so?”

"The eldest lady gave me the title of Acting Deacon because she knew that I was too young to be convincing."

"It's useless, it's about this kind of interest, no matter how stupid people are, they have to become smart right now. Just wait, now that people know that the ice cellar has added deacon's special silver, and some people want to snatch it from you It's an errand."

"It just stopped for a while and something happened again." Bai Kou let out a long breath, a little helpless.

"Don't be discouraged, you serve in front of the third young master, and you are highly valued by the masters. It's so easy to steal your errand. You can write and count. How many people in the family have your skills? Girls can write their own names. It’s a big deal if you don’t make mistakes, and those with small talents are mostly bought from outside.”

"Okay, I know it in my heart, thank you sister-in-law for telling me so much."

"We are all on our own, and we still want you to be prosperous when you are developed. Come and chat with your sister-in-law when you are free. We are nurses who walk back and forth in the mansion every day. Others think we are transparent, but they don't know. Our sisters have heard a lot of things they thought they kept secret."

"Well, my sister-in-law will be my source of news from now on, and I'll cook delicious food for her." Bai Kou deliberately looked at Bao Er's sister-in-law's belly with ambiguous eyes, "Just ask me for any soup you want in the future."

Second Sister-in-law Bao is a new daughter-in-law who has only been married for a few months. Although her stomach doesn't move, she sometimes feels a little anxious, but she really can't stand being told that by a little girl who hasn't reached her age. She blushes immediately and raises her hand to pinch Bai Kou.

Bai Kou giggled and jumped up to dodge, ran to Aunt Wu to say hello, and then went back to Wenling Courtyard.

Because she already knew that the people in the ice cellar hadn't kept her mouth shut, Bai Kou didn't want to go there and scare the snakes. If they found out that she wanted to retreat, there would be another embarrassing scene.

It's better to save one thing than to do more, just pass the note to Mama Pang when you are free, so as not to fight with others and lose her status as acting deacon.

Isn’t it bullying that she is too young to be convincing? The deacon of the ice cellar doesn’t need to be convincing. In terms of duty, he only needs to make a record of daily entry and exit and summarize it on a monthly basis. Except for the masters who use ice in summer, the ice cellar is actually quite deserted in the other three seasons. Yes, only people from the warehouse and kitchen came in and out.

The ice cellar that no one cares about before has become a sought-after errand now that the daughter-in-law comes in to work and has a monthly salary.
