delicious little cook

Chapter 15 Delicious Meat Burrito

The girls re-dipped their clothes in the water basin, tidied up in a hurry, and rushed back to work in the kitchen. The boys formed a small group to mock the girls for their estrangement, and a few small quarrels broke out.

After the supper time was over, Bai Kou stayed to practice handicrafts as usual. The other girls wanted to go back to wash their clothes, but they didn't have enough lights to illuminate them. Wash it tomorrow morning.

Bai Kou found a plate of duck eggs and a small bag of plant ash on the ingredients rack, and was thinking about whether to use them to make alkaline noodles, when suddenly heavy footsteps came from the quiet kitchen yard in the dead of night.

Although I know that Ye Guogong's mansion is very safe, but the kitchen is very close to the back door after all, it's hard to tell if a thief comes in over the wall, and there are two previous experiences of being frightened, Bai Kou didn't want to be careless, she quickly put down the ingredients, grabbed Two rolling pins.

The sound of footsteps from outside came straight to the lighted kitchen, and a familiar figure appeared outside the door, holding a big paper bag in his hand. He was originally calm and comfortable, but when he saw Bai Kou who was waiting for him I felt a little surprised and amused.

"You don't have to be so nervous, right?" The person who came was one of the guards he had seen last time. He stepped into the room lightly and put the paper bag on the table.

Bai Kou also put down the rolling pin and stretched the tensed shoulder muscles just now.

"It's because I was really scared by that little brother the first two times. What if someone sneaks over to do bad things regardless of the rules in the house?"

The guard was lowering his head to untie the rope on the paper bag, when he heard this, he raised his head and blinked.

"Oh, then you have only one way to yell loudly, and yell as hard as you can before the bad guys gag you."

"I guess I was put down before I broke my voice. Even if the woman at the door heard a sound or two, I'm afraid she wouldn't come over so diligently to check."

"Then there's nothing you can do, just accept your fate, the mother-in-law has always been lazy, and it's beneficial to ask them to be diligent."

"...Are you really a guard in the mansion?" Bai Kou felt so speechless.

The guard grinned, opened the paper bag and pushed it towards Bai Kou.

"Sauce meat? It's cold, should I warm it up for you?" The package of sauce meat was at least two catties, and it was cut into pieces.

"Could you share a few more pancakes? I'll give them to the other brothers who are on duty later as a supper."

"Okay, let's make meat burritos and spread some vegetables."

The fresh meat in the kitchen didn’t last overnight, but there were piles of vegetables. Bai Kou looked at the meat preparations. Mr. Boiled the water, weighed the flour and put it in a basin, took a few eggs, put them on the long table, and then took the vegetables Go outside and wash.

Boiling water is used for kneading noodles and blanching vegetables, so only half a pot of water was boiled. When Bai Kou came back with the washed vegetables, the water on the stove was just boiling. She took out a bowl of boiling water and put the vegetables in the pot Blanch it in the water and put it on a plate.

Add cold water to the bowl of boiling water, adjust it to warm water, add it to the flour and knead the dough little by little.

Putting the dough aside temporarily, Bai Kou began to check the sauced meat. She tore off a small piece and tasted it. The cold sauced meat was very chewy, but if it was used as a supper, it would not only tire your teeth, but also your stomach.

So Bai Kou moved out the cooked food chopping board, shredded all the sauced meat, took some spices as condiments, and then regenerated a stove, returning the sauced meat to the pot and spreading the noodles at the same time.

The smell of sauced meat with spices is tangy, just smelling this smell makes people's appetite whet, the guard also helped at this time, Bai Kou spread out a pancake, he spread the pancake on the chopping board, and put a few slices Vegetables, put shredded pork in sauce, sprinkle some sesame seeds, and finally roll up the pancakes tightly, and neatly stack them in the oil paper that previously wrapped the meat.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I bought less meat, I'll buy more next time, otherwise I'll be too busy and I won't taste any of it, so it's not worth it."

Bai Kou prepared the ingredients accurately, and the amount of pancakes and sauced meat was just right, no more, no less. The guard rewrapped the burrito and tied it with a rope, smelling the aroma and saying greedily.

"It doesn't matter if you just eat one, no one knows anyway." Bai Kou smiled while packing up her things.

"Just these few are not enough points, forget it, go back and watch them fight."

Bai Kou was amused and laughed out loud.

"Boy, it's a big night, who will fight?"

Outside the door, a cold female voice sounded suddenly, Bai Kou's laughter stopped abruptly, but the guard turned around calmly, and reached out to help the woman who was coming in.

"It's so late, the third aunt hasn't rested yet?"

"The old sisters who watch the night haven't come here yet. How can I close the door and sleep? Someone came to see me and insisted that there was a burglar in the kitchen. Let me come and have a look." Sleepy, talking on the mouth, glanced at Bai Kou.

"Thief?" The guard saw Auntie's eyes, and then cast a glance at Bai Kou, "What a joke."

Bai Kou really didn't know what to say.

"Boy, what are you doing here?"

"I bought sauced meat. I don't know if there is someone in the kitchen tonight, come here and ask someone to process it for supper."

"Hey, you really know how to look for opportunities. Come on, get out, don't be an eyesore here. Remember to go through the gate."

"Then I'll go first, and the third aunt will also go to bed early, and tell this girl what she wants to eat."

The guard was carrying something, and disappeared outside the door in a flash, without any footsteps.

At this moment, the woman looked Bai Kou up and down, "Are you the apprentice my nephew said is good at work?"

"My maid, Bai Kou."

"You make supper for that kid every day?"

"No, I do it once in a while, and most of the time I'm alone."

"It's fine if you don't lie to me. That kid is our nephew and has a very good future. I don't want to be implicated by some ignorant villains."

"The servant girl dare not. After the assessment is over, the kitchen will no longer be open at night, and it will be difficult to have a chance to meet in the future."

Only then did Third Aunt look better.

"Just be sensible, don't be like the girl who disturbed my peace earlier, that's too stupid."

"Yes, the servant girl obeys my aunt's instruction."

"Okay, you can just call me Third Aunt. The old man's surname is Nie, and he is the third at home."

"Yes, Third Aunt Nie, if there is a chance in the future, the servant girl will make some delicious food to honor Third Aunt."

"You said that the kitchen will not be open at night in the future, so how can there be a chance? Does it sound good?"

Bai Kou immediately showed a smile on his face, and pointed to the ingredients shelf, "All the ingredients are here, and the servant girl also cooks a supper for the third aunt? How about noodle soup for this big night? Don't laugh at the maidservant's stinginess, the fresh meat in the kitchen doesn't last overnight. I can’t even make a wonton.”

"I understand the rules of the kitchen. I do what I have, and I'm not that picky."

"That's fine, let me lay another egg. Does Third Aunt like fried eggs, boiled eggs, or egg flowers?"

"It's a big night. If you are too old to eat whole eggs, let's eat egg flower. Make it for four people. When my old sisters who watch the night are done, call them over to have a rest."

"Okay, maidservant tidy up and do it right away."

"Okay, I'll bring someone back later, and I'll send that stupid girl away first."

"Thank you, Third Aunt, thank you, Third Aunt."

Bai Kou watched Third Aunt Nie towards the corner door with a charming smile, and then quietly followed behind, under the cover of night, to see who was causing trouble for her.
