delicious little cook

Chapter 127

The girl finished her snacks and went back with the reward. Bai Kou washed her hands and told the girls to work quickly. A box containing copper coins, but those who come to congratulate him are rewarded with two hundred coins, and the money in a box is sent back to the house before taking it.

Mei Huan prepared the young master's clothes, shoes and socks in the house. Last time it was found that the young master's clothes did not fit, the sewing room rushed to make a lot of new clothes and sent them, which happened to save today's scene.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing took care of heating the hot water and preparing the warm water for the shower. When the young master came back, they could just scrub and clean up to see the angel.

Bai Kou cooked a pan of fried ham quiche, requisitioned six young masters' almond tofu and poured two tablespoons of sweet-scented osmanthus sauce on it, and requisitioned slightly spicy beef jerky specially made for third young master, and picked a plate of water steamed buns, plus A pot of fruit iced tea, five kinds of food in a food box, looked up and saw that there was no one to help her to the front yard, so Bai Kou had to run errands by herself.

Walking along Babu Lane to the second gate of Jicheng Hall, in front of you is the central axis road leading to the main hall of the Duke's Mansion. Bai Kou didn't dare to delay, and after showing the signboard of Wenlingyuan to the servant guarding the door, he went to He was led directly by the servant to the tea room behind the main hall.

The old man came out to meet the angel and rested in the main hall, and now he also went back to take a bath, comb his hair and change clothes. Only the big housekeeper stood by to accompany the guests, but it was early, and the afternoon snacks in the east kitchen were still noodles, while the morning snacks It can only be used to entertain guards of honor, not angels. When I feel embarrassed looking at the table with only tea, a servant comes to report, and Wenlingyuan brings snacks.

The big housekeeper was overjoyed, and quickly asked the servants to bring up the desserts. There were sweet, salty and drinkable ones. They looked simple, unlike the traditional pastries that were peaceful and stable, but it was not easy to bring them out in such a short time, let alone almonds. The tofu and steamed buns are pretty good.

Anyway, no one knows that only the pancakes are hot and freshly made, and the others are already made.

As Bai Kou guessed, the Minister of Rites who is qualified to announce the decree to the prince is the most suitable Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but because he did not notify in advance, he gave a huge surprise, so at this moment because of the waiting before the decree Feeling bored, it happened that some food was brought up later, which didn't look like thick and sweet traditional snacks at all. Master Shang Shu became interested, picked up chopsticks and started to taste them like a plate.

These big housekeepers only know almond tofu, but they have never seen the rest, but they have to introduce them, so they have to vaguely say that it is a private handicraft of the small kitchen, but it is not far from it.

Bai Kou waited nervously behind the main hall for a while, and then learned from other servants that the angel was eating, and she didn't mean to be displeased, so she was relieved, left the food box, and told the servants in the tea room to come back and come together Sending it back to Wenling Courtyard, she took a step first with empty hands.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold and stood in Babu Alley, a carriage stopped in front of her, the curtain was lifted, and the sixth young master got out of the carriage, and the servant woman picked up the young master and his schoolbag under the carriage, and hurriedly Go inside in a hurry.

The curtains of the car facing Bai Kou were raised, and the third young master's face was revealed, with a distorted expression, whether it was joy or nervousness.

"boarding."

Bai Kou quickly stretched out her hand to support her, jumped onto the coachman's seat, turned her buttocks half a circle, raised the curtain and climbed into the carriage. Just as she sat firmly at Gu Yun's feet, the carriage started wobbly.

"You went to the main hall? What's the situation now?"

"I just went to the main hall to deliver some food. The elder is taking a shower and changing clothes. Hot water and new clothes are also prepared in the Wenling courtyard." Bai Kou explained concisely, "Third young master, take a deep breath and don't be nervous."

Gu Yun rolled his eyes.

"Did I say I was nervous?"

"It's all on your face."

Gu Yun quickly moved his facial muscles, pretending not to care about Bai Kou's words.

Bai Kou silently took the bookbag in her hand, and as soon as the carriage stopped, she got out of the carriage and ran into the courtyard to report to everyone.

People outside the gate of Wenling courtyard still kept coming to ask for rewards, but the number was much smaller than before. Seeing that the third young master had returned, they hurriedly expressed their congratulations.

Tired of sending out money, Mei Lun stuffed the money box into Bai Kou's arms, greeted the young master and went up to the room, the bathroom was ready, and entered the bedroom Mei Lun and Mei Huan quickly put the young master in four hands Take a clean sheet and push into the bathroom to take a shower.

Bai Kou handed the money box to Aunt Su and asked her to reward the maid who came to congratulate her. She washed her hands, dressed neatly and continued to finish the original afternoon snacks in the small kitchen.

Gu Yun changed his clothes, combed his hair, and put a white jade hairpin in his bun. He came out of the room with a charming image of a nobleman, and went to Jicheng Hall from the corner gate of the garden.

Knowing that her young master had already gone to meet her parents, the girls immediately lost their minds about working. Bai Kou told them to wash their hands and go out to inquire about the news. Alright.

Such a big event can't even wait for the beauty, so I went out with the maids to watch the excitement, only to find that many servants gathered outside the second gate of Jicheng Hall to wait for the news, so they relied on being the girls of Wenling Court With his identity, he entered the second gate and stood in the front yard of Jicheng Hall. He could get first-hand information without crowding outsiders.

Meanwhile, Bai Kou and Aunt Su, who were staying at Wenling Courtyard, felt for a while what it meant for someone to sit at home and know everything about the world.

The maids took turns running back to deliver messages, the masters and young masters went to the front yard together, the old matriarch led the wives to burn incense and pray in the yard, the second and third wives were all dressed in gold and silver, etc. , except for the first two which are serious news, more and more of them are just gossip.

Bai Kou finished the snacks calmly. In fact, she was also nervous. It was the first time for her to announce and accept the order. If she didn't find something to do, she might be too nervous to know what to do.

After saying hello to Aunt Su, Bai Kou packed the snacks into food boxes and carried them to Jicheng Hall from the corner gate of the garden.

When I got there, I saw the wives and ladies kneeling on the ground in order of status, forming a fan shape. The old lady was kneeling at the front of the incense table, the eldest lady was half behind her, and the second lady and the third lady were kneeling again. Behind the eldest lady, the ladies kneel at the back, and the maids of the second and third bedrooms are not qualified to stand in this courtyard.

Jin Hu and other girls standing in the corridor saw Bai Kou bring the food box, tiptoed and lifted the bamboo curtain gently to welcome her into the room, and then saw a long table made of several Eight Immortals tables in the middle of the hall, covered with On the tablecloth with dark golden brocade and tassels, eight plates of hot pastries from the East Kitchen were placed in a row.

Bai Kou still didn't make traditional dim sum to please the old lady and the ladies, but her plate is not ugly, after all, she is well known for being flexible and changeable, and as long as she wants, she can also arrange the dim sum on the plate. Like a work of art.

After putting down his food, Bai Kou withdrew and sat in the Wenling courtyard with peace of mind waiting for news.
