delicious little cook

Chapter 124
It can be seen from the account books that on the day when the monthly bills are issued on the [-]th of each month, besides a large amount of cash, the third young master received various daily necessities and spare medicines. These things alone can be written down for several pages. , After that, it’s all expenses, including how much change you need to prepare every month for rewards, how much money the third young master brought with you to Bajingfang, and whether you have any left after you go home.

Fortunately, these are all journals, which are recorded item by item regardless of category. Anyone who can read can understand them.

Bai Kou was not good at abacus, so she used a pen to calculate hard on paper, added and subtracted, and converted the copper part of the final total into silver taels, which matched the total in the account.

After finishing an account, it's almost time to go to the East Kitchen. Bai Kou tidied up, threw the draft paper of the calculation into the drawer, and went out to do her daily work.

After the lunch break, Bai Kou led the girls to make snacks in the small kitchen. Aunt Su heard the commotion outside, so she went to the second door out of curiosity, and ran back after making tea.

"Big news! Big news!"

"Aunt Su, calm down and speak slowly, what's the big news?" Everyone laughed and replied.

"Tomorrow the Elder Master will enter the palace!"

"real?!"

"Is it about the prince?"

"Did an angel come to announce the decree?"

"Is our young master going to be promoted to the crown prince?"

"Will the great master be promoted?"

All the girls immediately dropped their work and asked Aunt Su chatteringly.

"It's not about attacking the noble, but it might be a good omen!" Aunt Su was still whetting her appetite.

"What the hell is it!"

"Tomorrow, the Elder Master will enter the palace because of the fatal incense incident a while ago. It turns out that the Elder Master has been investigating this matter in conjunction with the Xuezheng Lord and Yingtian Mansion for the past few days, and copied a black medicine workshop hidden in a private house. Previously, Yingtian Fu Yin sent someone to deliver a letter, telling the elder to enter the palace tomorrow morning!" Aunt Su beamed with joy, "It should be spread all over the house now, no wonder I heard the girls making noise."

"This is meritorious service!"

"Maybe it's a good omen!"

"The emperor must be rewarded for his meritorious service, right?"

"Will you order to attack the prince?!"

"Our Grand Master is finally going to become the new Grand Duke!?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, calm down first, and wait until the Elder Master enters the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and come back tomorrow!"

"Great, finally there is good news!"

"Let me say, everyone, what are you guys eating?" Bai Kou waited patiently for everyone's emotions to calm down before laughing jokingly.

The girls giggled and returned to their original positions to continue their work.

The third young master entered the courtyard, and the snacks were ready to be served. At the most hectic time, the second lady sent Ruyan to Wenling courtyard to give Bai Kou a reward. room to go.

Gu Yun hurriedly washed his face in the bedroom, and came out to collect his things without changing his clothes.

"Yesterday, Miss Tongfu's third lady's wedding ceremony was very successful. The snacks she sent won unanimous praise from the ladies and wives. Our wife rewarded Bai Kou with some girly things, and specially ordered my servant to bring them." Ruyan smiled and brought the tray. Give it to Meilun.

"Second Aunt is too polite, I will thank Auntie on behalf of Bai Kou."

The things were delivered, and the words were said, Ru Yanfu gave a salute and said goodbye.

Meilun sent Ruyan out with a tray, placed the wrapped rewards in Bai Kou's hall along the way, exchanged the tray for Ruyan, and led her to the small kitchen to see what to eat.

"Bai Kou lives in such a big room alone? Isn't this where your big girls sleep?" Ruyan was surprised to see that Bai Kou lived in this small suite, and the several small pots on the table in the hall were also quite curious. of.

"It's just that this room isn't enough for her to put her things in. Bai Kou is the best at cooking some sauces and sauces. Because there is not enough space to put on a big show, I have to make a little bit each time. Mixing noodles with noodles and cold dishes is the best. Appropriate means less, with so many of us, we will have nothing to eat after eating three or four times, and everything we haven’t eaten for a while is placed here.” Meilun explained the origin of the pile of jars on the table.

"The three rooms in the small kitchen are full?"

"The storage room is next to the oven room. It's too hot. It's okay to put some raw flour and noodles, but the sauces of the prepared side dishes always feel that they will go bad. Think about it, the sauce jars in the soy sauce shops on the street are half buried in the ground. Yes, it has only been left for a long time, there is really no suitable place in our small courtyard."

"That's right. It takes a lot of time to boil it and it can't be spoiled before it's finished."

While the two were talking, they arrived at the front yard. The snacks that were ready to be served in the small kitchen were being plated. Seeing Ruyan coming, Xiaojing quickly brought her a large plate of various snacks and a cup of fruit iced tea, and then led her to the Eat slowly under the west corridor with a small table for rest.

"Gee, this is too much, I really don't have time to sit down and eat, I'll just drink this one."

"The servant girl wrapped it for my sister, and my sister took it home to eat."

Xiaojing gave the cup to Ruyan, took the plate back to the small kitchen, and after a while brought out three bundled oil paper wraps, which obviously added more weight than the previous plate served to her.

Ruyan no longer refuses, accepts the snacks, and leaves immediately after drinking the cool iced tea.

The Sixth Young Master came over on time, and put the snacks on the table. Bai Kou had some free time, so he washed his hands and went back to the room. He took the small bag on the table in the hall into the bedroom, and opened it under the window to check.

Inside the package is a small wooden box. When you open the box, you will find a set of simple silver-faced noodles. There are hairpins, hairpins, pearls, cloves, bracelets and rings. You can tell at a glance that they are the type that the mistresses prepared in advance for special rewards, but one reward The next set can be regarded as a big reward.

Bai Kou tried on them in front of the mirror, and then happily put them all away and locked them in the closet. Then she went out to find Aunt Su. Taking advantage of the bright light, she used a sewing needle to re-pierce the pierced ears in her ears. Tong, plug in two tea stems, and you will be able to wear the pair of cloves in a few days.

The next morning, Bai Kou went to the East Kitchen, and learned from Lu Doudou and the others that the second lady gave a reward to this place yesterday, but the rewards were all copper coins, and each person was only [-] Wen, and she was the only one who took it. Although she received a generous reward, but the second lady made such a generous move, it can be seen that Shui Mantou really received a lot of praise and made her look good.

Although happy to have received the reward yesterday, what everyone is most concerned about is the fact that the Elder Master entered the palace today. This news spread throughout the whole house before dark yesterday, and everyone is excitedly waiting for the Elder Master today. Will there be better news when I get home.

After lunch time, Bai Kou returned to Wenling Courtyard, and learned from Aunt Su and the maids that the Elder Master had returned, and that there was no real reward other than the verbal reward from the Holy Majesty, they were quite disappointed.

In the afternoon, when the third young master came home, the first thing he did was to ask the Elder Master about the result. Hearing the girl's answer, a look of disappointment flashed across his face. After he washed his face and changed his clothes, his mood seemed to return to normal. , Talking and laughing with my brother.
