delicious little cook

Chapter 125
A few more days went by like this, and seeing the day when the salary was closed on the [-]th of this month arrived, Uncle Yan wrote a note to Bai Kou, asking her to go to collect the monthly bills of everyone in the ice cellar that morning.

Meilun Meihuan also made an agreement with Bai Kou to stay in Wenling Courtyard and follow the two of them, so she asked Zeng Zhu for leave one day in advance. After everyone sent the young master out the next day, Bai Kou cooked a few A small sausage, sliced ​​and mixed with hot sauce, put it in a copper bowl with a cover and went to Yan Bo's side first.

The monthly records of the servants in the public office are sent directly from the account room to the chief manager at the highest level, who then distributes them to the stewards under him, and the stewards then distribute them to everyone.

The monthly schedule of the kitchen warehouse has to wait for the deputy manager of the warehouse to send someone over, so don't worry, Yan Bo is eating spicy sausage and drinking small wine, chatting with Bai Kou, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Only Bo Yan and Bai Kou have moon rice in the whole kitchen. Bai Kou has only been the deacon of the ice cellar for half a month, so today she can't get the deacon's silver rice. The monthly routine of the day and the rewards of the previous festivals.

Anyway, I finally started to get paid.

Yan Bo finished the half-bowl of small sausages, and the warehouse manager finally delivered the monthly report. After signing and confirming that the points were correct, Yan Bo asked Bai Kou to count out the monthly reports of everyone in the ice cellar, and hurriedly distributed them. thing.

Bingjiao's daughter-in-law is also new this month, so only Mistress Shui receives the monthly subscription, and Bai Kou waited all morning for this little money.

Bai Kou wrapped Sanpo Shui's money in a handkerchief, packed up the copper bowl after eating, went back to Wenling courtyard first, put down the copper bowl and rushed to the ice cellar to give the money to Sanpo Shui, and then returned to the text Lingyuan is busy with errands at this end.

The old matriarch and the third-bedroom brothers have a fixed amount of the monthly total amount of each house. Under the auspices of the eldest lady, the cash and goods are directly sent to the old matriarch and the third-fang wives, and then the wives distribute them by themselves.

The eldest lady has to take care of the old matriarch's side and help her distribute the silver rice to the servants, and the lady has only two sons under her knees now, and the youngest son lives in the same yard with his parents, so Mama Pang took someone to carry it. Send things to Wenling Courtyard and it's over, turn around and go back to Jicheng Hall to distribute silver rice to the maids and servants.

Meilun Meihuan knew that Bai Kou might be delayed in the kitchen for a while, and she was unwilling to send out the monthly report of the girl and Aunt Su in advance, and insisted on waiting for her to come back from the ice cellar panting before sending a copy with everything. Give her the list and let her stand on the sidelines.

Bai Kou held her pen and read one item, and when she found the corresponding one on the list, she ticked it off, said yes, and then continued to read the next item.

The idle girls all came to help, sorting and sorting all kinds of items, and put them in the right place after checking the number, without having to rearrange them again.

After all the items and quantities were counted, the monthly bills were distributed to everyone. The amount of money each person received was written on the list, and it was enough to just give it accordingly. Bai Kou also got her own share.

After sending out the monthly case, Meilun took a bunch of keys and opened the three rooms in the east wing one by one, and put these materials into different cages or cabinets in different rooms. All stuffed.

"See, why did the young master give you his study room? He has so many cases every month, and it's impossible for one person to use them all up."

Meihuan took out all kinds of boxes in the cage and put them in, sorted and sorted, and finally stuffed this month's order into it, and whispered to her sister that she would need several new cages next month.

Meilun raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Kou, who nodded repeatedly, "I'll write it down when I get back to the room."

"Bai Kou, young master still has some unused letter paper from last year, and it's still left unused, and the paper will be brittle if you put it down again, it's good for you to keep it for writing notes, and let the cage be empty."

"Okay, give it to me."

The two sisters suddenly smiled narrowly, and Bai Kou immediately felt that something was wrong, and then saw the two sisters go to the depths of the room, and together they pulled out a locked three-tiered cage. Looking in through the cage, it was filled with the same boxes.

"This box is full of leftover letter paper from last year, and it belongs to you."

"Don't need so much? When do I have to use it?!"

"If you don't want it, no one will use it. The young master will use a new one after the new year. There are always leftovers every year. If it weren't for the fact that I can write a few words, the young master said to leave it for me. There is nothing in my house." Just put it here for the time being." Meilun put the cage at Bai Kou's feet, "Okay, it's yours now, take it away, don't need to keep an account."

"One box is one knife, about a hundred sheets, you use it slowly." Meihuan giggled, "There are twelve boxes stacked on each floor."

"Wrong, I took a box from it in March, but I only used half of it, and I will send the half box to your house later."

"Sister Meilun, you don't have to make it look like you're going to get married tomorrow so you have to clean things up today. You'd better keep the half box and write and do the math yourself. This box is enough for me to use until next year."

Being teased by Bai Kou, Meilun blushed slightly, found the key to unlock the cage, and raised her hand to beckon the girl outside to take the cage to Bai Kou's room.

After working for a while, I put away the supplies and locked the cash in a big box in the third young master's bedroom. Then I collected everything. Everyone was sweating and went to the garden well to wash their hands. Head to the kitchenette for something to drink, and then it's almost time to prepare lunch.

Bai Kou sat at the table like a master chef, and only used her mouth to point out what the girls should do, especially focusing on training Meilun. This was the first time Bai Kou had time to teach her two sisters how to cook vegetable.

Heat up the pot and put in lard, ready to fry a few green vegetables. Meilun pours the vegetables into the pot and stir-fries them with a frying spoon in his hand. It looks decent. In the past half month, although Bai Kou has hardly had time to adjust, But Aunt Su obviously played a positive role. At least the sisters survived the novice difficulty of being afraid of splashing oil.

After lunch, it was not Bai Kou's turn to wash the dishes. She wiped her mouth and went back to the room for a lunch break. After getting up, she sat at the table and carefully copied the monthly list in the account book.

Bai Kou had already studied the account books of the previous four months, and knew how to keep accounts in the correct format. After copying them in a hurry, Bai Kou found a new piece of paper and wrote down the memo for adding a new cage.

Bai Kou moved the cage that the maids brought in for her to the corner between the table and the bedroom door, so that she could put something under the window in the whole room.

Under the wall opposite to the window is a bed. There are wardrobes and suitcases on the side of the bed against the wall, and there are basin racks, hangers and screens against the wall at the end of the bed. Fortunately, the table under the window does not touch the walls on both sides, leaving a gap It is used to store sundries at any time, but those small jars filled with side dishes and sauces can only be placed on the table in the hall, which is the only place that is shady and protected from light, after all, the west wing is facing the morning sun .

After much deliberation, Bai Kou boldly added a few shelves to the memo, even if she had to pay for it herself.
