delicious little cook

Chapter 150 New appointments
After Bai Kou yawned and rubbed his eyes, his elbow suddenly bumped against an obstacle that looked like a body. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a pair of familiar shoes. After a very short pause, Bai Kou turned around with a look of surprise and flattery smiley face.

"The third young master is back! The third young master has worked hard! How did you do in the exam? Are you satisfied with the dinner dishes? Do you like the layout of the room? Do you have any special arrangements for tomorrow? Mama Pang is still waiting for you... Ugh!"

Seeing Bai Kou talking nonstop, Gu Yun couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to cover Bai Kou's mouth.

"I don't want to listen to those household chores now. For the sake of your cooking a good meal, I won't charge you for not welcoming me with the girls."

Bai Kou nodded again and again as if she had been pardoned, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons again.

Gu Yun withdrew his hand in satisfaction, and led Bai Kou to the bedroom.

In the outer room, his first and second class maids were all there, sitting around the Arhat couch and chatting, seeing the young master coming back, they all got up to serve him with tea.

Gu Yun changed into his nightgown and came out, sat on the Luohan couch in the outer room, holding a tea bowl, and asked Bai Kou how she was doing on horseback.

"I didn't dare to go to the street. The groom led me to ride in the back street a few times."

Gu Yun frowned, not very satisfied with Bai Kou's progress.

"Tomorrow morning, before breakfast, I'll take you for a walk around the street to see how your riding skills are. If you don't go to other places, it's fine. If you don't go to Bajingfang, I can't eat enough food there. .”

"Yes, Third Young Master."

The masters and servants chatted for a while, Gu Yun couldn't bear the drowsiness, so he went back to his room and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, the maids were kneading dough for breakfast in the kitchen. Bai Kou changed into her training clothes, and went to the stables with the third young master to get a horse.

Shi Ziye's horse is a big pure white stallion called Fuyun. It has smooth lines, full muscles and strong limbs. Its head is proudly held high. It is really a handsome guy among horses, but its personality is not very good, and it often threatens to bite Bai Kou always deliberately walked between Gu Yun and Bai Kou, separating them, until the groom brought Bai Kou her little mare, Zao Ni, to calm down.

The two got on their horses and went out through the back door of the stable.

Gu Yun asked Bai Kou to go ahead on horseback, and told her to go to Shizi Street. At this time, the food shops on the street were opening for breakfast one after another. It was the time when the crowds were getting denser, so it was better to go there to see Bai Kou's life. How about riding.

Because Tianshuifang is mostly populated by high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are few common people’s houses, the total population in the square is relatively small. Bajingfang is densely populated. If you can’t control your horse well on the street in Tianshuifang, who would dare to take her to ride a horse? go a long way.

Bai Kou was a little nervous at first, with sweaty palms, but when she got on West Street, the little mare, Zao Ni, began to trot steadily, avoiding pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and Bai Kou gradually relaxed, controlling herself. Horses are more relaxed.

This is the first time he really went out on the street after being bought by the Duke's Mansion for a few months. Bai Kou was so happy, he looked around the street while driving the horse, and Gu Yun followed behind, and occasionally reminded him. I felt that there was nothing to guide her, so I deliberately found fault with her, and asked her to get off the horse from time to time to buy something, to see how she got off the horse normally when she couldn't find anything to step on the street.

Bai Kou's martial arts practice in the past few months came in handy at this time. She didn't have stepping stones, but she had explosive power. She pushed her hands hard on the saddle, her body jumped up, and she sat down as soon as her legs were separated. Stirrup on the horse.

But it's also because Zao Ni is well-trained, and she has cooperated tacitly with Bai Kou for so long, so she won't move around when she suddenly exerts strength.

The two rode horses back and forth on Shizi Street several times, ran around the four square gates, and returned home after it was bright.

After returning home from the back door of the stable, Bai Kou took off the various breakfasts hanging from the saddle, distributed two packages to the groom, and followed the third young master back to the Zhongming Courtyard.

The girls cooked all the breakfast and waited for the young master to come home, and the breakfast brought by Bai Kou was divided among them, and everyone tasted the fresh food on the street together.

After breakfast, Gu Yun had nothing else to do. Before the announcement of the rankings, he rested. After resting for a while, he changed his clothes and practiced martial arts in the courtyard.

Bai Kou tried on the arrow-sleeve riding outfit she made before in her room to see if it still fit. She felt that she might have grown a few inches, and her new autumn and winter clothes, shoes and socks were all smaller than the old size. Bigger.

A set of clothes and shoes on the body is just perfect. When the clothes were delivered, they were a little too big, especially the chest was a little empty. Now they are all filled. I can't wear this clothes anymore.

After the fitting, when Bai Kou was about to change back into the skirt, Mei Huan knocked on the door and came in.

"Mother Pang brought a newcomer here, and the young master told you to go out."

Bai Kou had no choice but to leave.

Gu Yun was standing on the platform in front of the main hall, facing a dozen young maidservants standing in the courtyard, all aged between twelve and 14 years old, all of them were tender beauties, with different heights, But they are all similar in stature, with watery eyes and a peachy face, and they are looking shyly and curiously at the son who is standing on a high place, Fengshen Yeyi.

Mama Pang stood on the steps that were two steps lower, paying attention to the movements of the new maidservants, telling them to keep quiet and not to make noise.

Looking at the shy and timid maidservants below, Gu Yun couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Bai Kou for the first time. That girl looked straight at people and didn't know what it means to be reserved and shy, but if she hadn't had the courage to Showing her boldness and thick skin, she has no chance to reach her current position in just one summer.

Gu Yun, who was proud of his vision, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and subconsciously looked back, and saw Bai Kou hurriedly walking over. The tight lines on the chest also reflect the unique softness of girls.

Gu Yun silently bit his teeth, and decided to call the sewing room to make a new riding outfit for Bai Kou.

"Three young masters."

Bai Kou came out with a smile and stood on the same step as Pang's mother.

"Mama Lao Pang has been waiting for a long time."

Mother Pang smiled kindly, and handed the list to Bai Kou.

"Let me congratulate you first, Bai Kou, your appointment has been officially announced, and you will be in charge of the Zhongming Institute. From now on, everyone will call you in charge of Bai Kou."

"Huh?!" Before he could see a single word on the list, Bai Kou was startled by Pang's mother's new news, and couldn't react, "Formal appointment?"

"Yes, but you are still a member of the public office. The silver rice you are in charge of is distributed from the public office, so you have to do both the ice cellar and the east kitchen. But Madam sympathized with you and approved Zeng Zhu as the acting manager. I asked you to be the supervisor of the East Kitchen, but the monthly rate remains the same, still [-] Wen, if you want to increase your money, you can only rely on the promotion competition, and it is also to tell others to shut up, so that too many people will be jealous and gossip about you."

"Bai Kou, thank you for your kindness, Madam."

"Do it well." Pang's mother looked at Bai Kou as if she was looking at her successor.

"I will ask Mama Pang to give me more advice in the future."
