delicious little cook

Chapter 134
The room was chilly, the ice tray had been prepared a long time ago, Bai Kou took a deep breath, feeling much more awake.

"Is the third young master satisfied with today's banquet?"

"The female cook is as expected, but the male cook is not very satisfied. The cooking arrangement you listed didn't help them much. The reward for the two male stewards was only one-third of Zeng Zhu's. The other cooks and maids included handymen. Our rewards will not be reduced or deducted as usual."

"My maid thank you, Mrs. Madam."

"You performed outstandingly today and made great contributions. The extra reward for you will come from me."

"Thank you, Third Young Master." Bai Kou smiled happily, feeling all the fatigue on his body was swept away, "It's time to prepare dinner in a while, what else does Third Young Master want to eat tonight?"

"No, I don't want to eat anything. I drank too much wine at the banquet. Just make some porridge and side dishes. I'll eat after dark."

"There is hangover soup in the kitchen, and I will bring it to you when I come back. Boys and girls of your age are still weak in their livers, so drink in moderation and avoid getting drunk. Third young master, you are delicate and expensive now, so it's better to be careful."

Gu Yun was speechless for a while, but before he wanted to say anything, Bai Kou had already bowed and left. Mei Lu Meihuan who was at the side was frightened when he heard those words, and hurriedly waited for the young master to go back to the room to rest.

Bai Kou returned to the small kitchen and announced that everyone would have porridge and barbecue tonight, and then asked someone to deliver the hangover soup that had been prepared to the upper room, while she went to the east kitchen to find some suitable ingredients, so that everyone could relax together in the evening.

Everyone in the east kitchen was still busy. The masters said that they would have porridge at night, but there were side dishes to go with the porridge. Bai Kou told them that there would be a reward, which made everyone happy, and then she said that they would have barbecue at night, Everyone picked two baskets of vegetables and meat for her, and happily sent them out.

The small kitchen has been tidied up, and it's not the first time they've eaten barbecue. The girls all know how to handle the ingredients, so they don't need Bai Kou to take care of them, so they just urge her to go and have a good rest.

Bai Kou told them to take good time to sit in the pot and cook porridge, so she really went back to the house to sort out the next work with peace of mind.

Gu Yun drank the hangover soup and had a comfortable sleep. When he woke up, it was just about time to light the lamp. After washing, he sat down in the living room, and Xiaoqian and Xiaojing served porridge and side dishes.

"What's the smell on you two?" Gu Yun sniffed suddenly, looking at the two girls standing across the table.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing looked at each other speechlessly, and honestly told the young master the truth.

"The maidservants probably smelled of charcoal from the barbecue. Bai Kou brought back a lot of leftover ingredients from the East Kitchen."

Gu Yun was not happy when he heard it.

"I eat porridge, you guys eat barbecue?!"

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing hurriedly saluted, "The maidservants go to the front and get some barbecue."

The two rushed back to the front yard, and everyone couldn't laugh or cry when they heard that the young master was losing his temper. They hurriedly gathered the freshly grilled barbecued meat and mixed vegetables into a deep plate and brought them to the room.

Only then did Gu Yun drink porridge and eat side dishes contentedly.

In the morning of the next day, baskets of copper coins were carried to the East and West kitchens. The old lady and the old lady gave rewards respectively, and they all directly tipped a month's monthly reward, which means that everyone got a two-month monthly reward. They were all in high spirits, and the three stewards had other rewards on top of this, but only Zeng Zhu got the full amount, Huang Dahai and Cui Lin both got one-third of the amount, because the performance of the male chefs yesterday was really good. Not as good as the cooks, and the fault is naturally on the head of the steward.

Huang Dahai and Cui Lin had nothing to say, and repeatedly assured Pang's mother, who had been offering rewards, that there would be no mistakes in the next filial piety banquet.

After Pang's mother left, everyone wondered why Bai Kou only got two rewards from the third-class cook, but no one dared to talk about it, as long as he had enough money in his hands, it was enough for someone like Bai Kou to be someone else from the masters. What about rewards?

Bai Kou didn't discuss this with them either, and left after cooking the lunch step by step.

In the afternoon when Gu Yun came home from school, after washing his hands and changing his clothes, someone called Bai Kou into the house. A silver ingot of ten taels of silver was handed out as a reward. The sterling silver headgear looks like the kind that the ladies in the house wear every day.

"Don't wear those rewarded by the second lady, it's not embarrassing enough."

Gu Yun really disliked the Second Aunt's hand, he rewarded his girls with high-end jewelry that was sterling silver anyway, and had never taken miscellaneous silver to coax others, so instead of giving a set of miscellaneous silver jewelry as a big reward, it would be better to reward a set of miscellaneous silver jewelry What about sterling silver stuff?

"The servant girl thanked the third young master for the reward."

Bai Kou took the reward and went back to the house with a smile on her face. After a while, she came out with new cloves on her ears, shining brightly in the sun. When the girls saw it, they all said it was better than what Mei Lun Mei Huan wore before.

Meilun took some time to find Bai Kou and reimbursed her. Except for the ten taels of silver ingots, these sterling silver jewelry added up to more than ten taels. High-quality high-end goods are specially aimed at customers above the well-off class. If you want good things, you will naturally spend a lot of money.

Bai Kou obediently recorded the reward worth more than 20 taels of silver in the ledger.

After the feast of attacking the nobles, the mansion began to be busy for the filial piety banquet. The next day after the filial piety, the grand master will go to the official office of the Ministry of Rites to take up his post. The family also wants to celebrate a little. This is an extra task, but fortunately, it is pure The family banquet, the preparation work is relatively easy.

Early the next morning, after sending the third young master off to school, Bai Kou sent two boxes of snacks to everyone in the ice cellar to thank them for their hard work. People take care of everything so that nothing goes wrong.

The third wife of Shui and the daughters-in-law did not forget to show their loyalty to Bai Kou after accepting the food, and resolutely obeyed her orders, she pointed east and never went west.

For the cooking of the family banquet, the eldest lady specially ordered the male cooks not to do it, and they were only allowed to watch how the cooks worked. If they dared to make mistakes in the filial piety banquet on the day of the death, they would not be spared.

As soon as this order came out, no one dared to mess around. On the day of the family banquet, the male cooks obediently helped the cooks in the kitchen, watching how Zeng Zhu and Bai Kou yelled at their subordinates.

But this matter is like window paper, it is worthless if it is pierced. The chefs performed well because they strictly obeyed orders and would not complain about Zeng Zhu and Bai Kou's arrangements. The opponent's male chefs are not so binding. After all, the male chefs cooperate with the eastern and western kitchens, and the command power in the middle is a very delicate thing.

The next day after the celebration family banquet was successfully held, the mansion received a surprise. The second grandpa who had moved to other places many years ago sent his servants to send several carts of sacrifices. The gifts from the nephews were all unique and rare in the capital, and among them was a complete bear skin, which was as tall as a person when unfolded.

The second grandpa was the only one among the three brothers who joined the army, so he couldn't get out of his birth easily and came back to pay homage to his first brother, so he had to send some things as a token of comfort.
