delicious little cook

Chapter 152 Who cares about your kowtow

"I will have the opportunity to go out often in the future. If you have any new things you want, just tell me, and I will bring them back to you when it is convenient for me."

"If you go to other workshops and bring some interesting things to us for a long time, it will be fine. You don't need to run errands for daily things. Your appointment as the acting steward of the Zhongming Academy has only been passed to the kitchen. Steward Zeng announced the restoration of the old rules. We can go to Cross Street every month, just ask for leave in advance."

"That's right. I said that there is no cook who doesn't go to the streets and stays in the mansion every day. He doesn't know anything new outside, and his craftsmanship is useless. In order to keep his job as the kitchen manager for a long time, Wen Gushan , It's all-encompassing." Bai Kou applauded Zeng Zhu's decision.

"Didn't there be news that he wanted to come back before? Now there is no movement."

"Everything is based on my news. Don't listen to others. Wen Gushan has been suspended due to illness. Since he stepped out of this door, he can't control the future." Bai Kou said seriously.

"We don't want him to come back. The East Kitchen finally has a new atmosphere. Everyone feels relaxed and works hard every day." Lu Doudou said.

"That's right, just let him live on his laurels at home. So what if he belongs to the third master? What should the third master worry about his future every day? There is no movement from the bureaucracy. How can he have the time to care about an old cook like him?" It's something." Hong Su nodded in agreement.

"The third master is the weakest, but he has many children and has the heaviest burden. The five daughters are growing up and want to marry, and the dowry is enough for him. The second young master and the fourth young lady, one seventeen and one fifteen, are married The age, one married, another married, within a few years."

"Don't forget the young master, he is weak, and the marriage has not been settled yet. The two older young masters and ladies in the second room are really pitiful. During the time when Duke Xian fell ill and died, they were the ones who discussed marriage. The age suddenly made many people wait and see, and finally went clean."

"No wonder I heard that the second wife wanted to separate the family the most, and the third wife was the least willing to separate the family. This is also the biggest conflict between their sisters-in-law." Wan Qiu sold a gossip.

"Of course the third lady doesn't want to separate the family. After the family is divided, the salary of the third master is not enough. She relies on the property of the divided family to support a large family. There are also seven children's marriages. The third lady's dowry is all used in private houses. I don't know if it's enough or not. But as long as she lives in the mansion, there will be subsidies from the public school, and she doesn't have to worry too much about the marriage expenses."

"Now that the filial piety period is over, it's meaningless to talk about it anymore. It's none of our business whether we separate or not. We are people in the public house and follow the long house. Everyone just remember this." Bai Kou warned the girls seriously.

"We listen to you, you told us to go east, we will never go west." Lu Doudou hugged Bai Kou's arm with a smile, Hong Su and Wan Qiu also smiled.

The four of them were having a lively chat when Sister-in-law Qian and Xiulan came back outside the door, and they called Doudou when they entered the yard.

"Doudou, you are here. We have guests." Sister-in-law Qian smacked behind her in a strange tone, and a figure followed behind them.

Bai Kou and the others went out curiously to see that it was Mengmei who came out behind Mrs. Qian.

Mengmei is still the same, but she is no longer so high-spirited, and her spirit is much worse, as if she has been severely repaired from the spiritual level.

"Bai Kou, please, help me, I really have no other way." Mengmei knelt down on the ground, choking with sobs.

"Mengmei, you are so bold, who are you calling?" Lu Doudou crossed her arms and stood in front of Bai Kou, blocking Mengmei.

Mengmei's shoulders trembled suddenly, and she came to her senses, "Bai, Manager Bai, please, for the sake of our previous work together, save me, save the maidservant."

Only then did Lu Doudou get out of the way with satisfaction, and stood with Hongsu and Wanqiu, while Sister Qian and Xiulan were also watching the play interestingly.

Bai Kou accepted Mengmei's kneeling without dodging or dodging. With her current status, I don't know how many people would kneel to her.

"Tell me, what else do you want me to save you for?"

"Yesterday, the second young master came home from the exam and left some food. The second young master liked it very much and asked the servant girl to make it as it is."

"But you won't?"

"It's all the servant girl's fault in the past. It's the servant girl's blindness. I shouldn't be against you. I beg you to show kindness and save the servant girl. The servant girl is willing to work for you."

"You're really joking. You have already given the third lady your body deed, so you're going to do me a favor? You really don't even bat an eye when you tell a lie."

"Mengmei, so you're trying to trick people with your sweet talk?" Lu Doudou slowly rolled up his sleeves.

"No, no, the servant girl is sincere. If this life fails, then in the next life, the servant girl will definitely work for the white steward. If there is any nonsense, the sky will be struck by lightning."

"Strange, why do you just swear that there is a next life? Have you ever seen it?" Bai Kou deliberately found fault with her good words.

Mengmei was so choked that she was speechless, and the people next to her also felt that this question was too outrageous, so they had nothing to say.

"Bai Guanshi, you can do whatever you want me to do, as long as you teach me how to eat, I don't want to be sold to the mines! Please!" Mengmei had no choice but to kowtow repeatedly. I have never dreamed of a scene like today's. In just one summer, Bai Kou has become a white manager!Although the title is a proxy, everyone knows that when Bai Kou gets older, this proxy will be erased sooner or later.

"Mengmei, you really can't support the wall with mud. You were given the opportunity that others wanted to fight for, but you still messed up. The apprentices who came in at the beginning were all talents with solid basic skills. Why did you get more and more embarrassing. "

"My maidservant is wrong! This maidservant really knows his mistake! I really don't dare to be disrespectful to Guan Shi anymore! I beg you to save this maidservant!"

"Okay, stop knocking. If you break the skin, Mrs. San asks, and it's my fault again."

Mengmei straightened up quickly, her forehead was covered with dust and dirt, neither skin was broken nor red and swollen, which made Lu Doudou and others laugh.

Bai Kou pretended not to see Mengmei's trick of kowtowing, but she didn't want to teach her the recipe so happily.

"I prepared a few meals for the two young masters to ensure that they have enough energy to take the exam in nine days. These are all my private skills that I don't want to pass on. If you want to learn, I will teach you? When Wen Gushan was around, I would I don't care about you, why should I be responsive to you now?"

"...The servant girl apologized."

"It's your duty to apologize. Whether you want to forgive me or not is my business and has nothing to do with you. A few words of sorry will erase the past as if it never happened? If I'm so easy-going, how can I control the dozen or so people under my command?"

"Third Madam will really sell the maidservant to the mine! The maidservant doesn't want to die!" Mengmei cried very sadly, her whole body trembling with fear.

"You are from the third room, and I am from the public. If you ask me for mercy, it is like burning incense and worshiping the wrong Bodhisattva. You have been with the second young master for so long, and you still haven't established a good relationship with the second young master? Otherwise, if the second young master The young master went to ask the prince for the recipe, how can I not show it? But now you ask for it, why do you say that I have to give it to you if you want it? Do you think you are the master?"

Mengmei's heart trembled violently, she didn't bother to salute, she got up and ran outside, the sound of her footsteps disappeared in the narrow lane after a while.

Lu Doudou and the others were all at a loss, neither Sister Qian nor Xiulan could understand what was going on.

"Mengmei is a stubborn guy, do you really want to teach her those private dishes?" Lu Doudou tugged at Bai Kou's sleeve.

"Tch, why wouldn't I give it if she persuaded the second young master to ask for it? At least the second young master will definitely not take it in vain, and should reward me with some money. When you have money, you should boldly earn it."

Everyone reacted and understood Bai Kou's true intentions, and all of them laughed happily.
