delicious little cook

Chapter 153 The flirtatious little male dog
After leaving the East Kitchen, Bai Kou went to Yan Bo's place again. Apart from chatting with him about the date and arrangement of the meeting, he also learned about bookkeeping from him.

As the agent of the Zhongming Institute, he needs to understand the financial and taxation knowledge of this era more or less. It happens that Uncle Yan used to be a shopkeeper. He is good at all these things and he is willing to teach. Bai Kou has a free teacher. For Shu Xiu, just give him more delicious food.

First of all, Bai Kou had to practice her abacus hard. She couldn't do everything with pen and paper, and her calculation rules couldn't be shown to outsiders. It would be beneficial to pick up abacus again.

There is also an abacus ready-made, Meilun has one, she can add and subtract, but multiplication and division are not good, anyway, she just needs to manage the journal in the past, and only adding and subtracting is enough, Bai Kou wants to be proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Yan Bo promised to go home and help Bai Kou find some books for beginners, and to understand the theory first before talking about other things.

The two gossiped for a while, and the topic ran away to the newcomers that Zhongmingyuan made up today. Yan Bo remembered something and told Bai Kou that one of the newcomers was Gu Xiaoyi, and her father was in the accountant work.

"Gu Xiaoyi, I have an impression of this name. There is a remark under the name. She can write and count, but I don't know that her father is a bookkeeper."

"Because there's no need to write it up. The prince is a new girl. It's unknown which floor she can sit on. How can I help her father? With the prince's temperament, even if it's a girl who is a big accountant or a big housekeeper, If he doesn't do a good job, he will be kicked out, he is not someone who will be led by the nose by the old servant, and this saves him a lot of unnecessary constraints."

"Then let me pay attention, if it's worth cultivating, it's fine, I'm afraid it's half a bucket of water."

"Now you are in charge, you have the final say."

Bai Kou smiled slightly, got up and said goodbye to Yan Bo.

After returning to the Zhongming Courtyard, it was almost time to make lunch. The newcomers had also visited the whole environment, and they were very envious of the treatment of Bai Guanshi who lived alone in the back building. They lived in two courtyards, and it was a bit crowded. Each room They are all double rooms, fortunately the room is big, everyone has a place to put their things, otherwise there will be many conflicts in daily life.

As for the four rooms reserved for future concubines, these girls also went in for a walk, and some of them came out giggling.

Girls around the age of 12 are still children, and some of them haven’t had their menarche yet, but those around 14 have more or less understood something. Think about it, the son is only 15 years old, just a young age, as long as one of the girls says something A hint of a joke can evoke laughter.

They are all born in a family, so when they get together, they will naturally exchange their family backgrounds. In addition to Gu Xiaoyi's father who works as a bookkeeper, there is also a woman named Hua Qinglan. Her father and brothers are servants in front of the Duke.

Among the twelve newcomers, only the two of them have the best family background, and the rest are so-so. Chores have special talents.

They themselves knew that there were a few girls like Gu Xiaoyi and Hua Qinglan among the people selected by Mama Pang, but the prince only looked at the face and figure in the selection, so there was no way. It's good to be kicked with dissatisfaction for a while.

The fate of being kicked out actually didn’t need to be threatened and warned by the son. These girls also knew that a lot of things existed in the atmosphere of life when they were young.

After visiting the entire courtyard, tidying up his room, and making masks with the gauze distributed earlier, Bai Kou came back from the main entrance of Zhongming Courtyard, and directly ordered the four little girls who were accustomed to take the newcomers to the kitchen to gather and prepare Cook lunch for the son, and she will go back to her room to tidy up.

The four of them, Mei Lun Mei Huan, who had been waiting in the main courtyard, saw that Bai Kou had come back, and told her that his son would accompany his wife for lunch in Ji Cheng Tang, and that they would send the prepared meals there.

Bai Kou responded, went back to the room, changed out of the good clothes she was wearing, and changed back into a coarse dress, and went to the kitchen.

Right now all the girls are gathered in the kitchen, and Meilun Meihuan is also there, they are the main subordinates, especially Meilun, who is about to get married, and must learn how to cook home-cooked food independently.

Fortunately, the new kitchen is so big that a whole yard of chores has been converted into a kitchen. It is not crowded at all with a dozen or 20 people standing in it, and there is room in the kitchen, which does not hinder Bai Kou's work.

The son's lunch was quickly prepared, and it was delivered to Jicheng Hall directly on a tray, and then the girls started to burn their own lunch, and Bai Kou naturally ate the ready-made one.

Bai Kou figured out how good these newcomers were at cooking and housework in one noon.

In the kitchen yard, Bai Kou specially arranged a small dining hall, where everyone eats, drinks and rests. The existing 22 servants of Zhongmingyuan can all sit down, even the servants of Ji Chengtang come over. Rest your feet and have a place to sit.

After lunch, Gu Yun and his mother walked into the kitchen and went back to the Zhongming Courtyard. Hearing the laughter in the cafeteria, he couldn't help but smile.

After lunch, Bai Kou asked everyone to gather in the Second Entry Court, and she went back to her room to get the duty list that she had prepared earlier. The form was drawn long ago, and all she needed to do was fill in the name of the person.

But when Bai Kou came out again, he found that the crowd was standing under the steps of the main courtyard, and Gu Yun was standing on the porch outside the study and teasing the girls with his eyes, making them all blushing and afraid to look up. Lun Meihuan and Xiaoqian Xiaojing's eyes wandered, and they had to hold back their laughter even if they wanted to.

Bai Kou glanced at Shizi speechlessly, and found that he had unknowingly entered the puberty boy's estrus stage, and the danger to girls had arrived.

Ignoring Shizi's provocative behavior, Bai Kou coughed dryly, stood on the steps under the platform, and focused the eyes and attention of the girls below on her.

Twelve newcomers, plus the original four third-class maids, there are 16 people in total, in groups of two, changing every five days. Including making the bed, changing clothes and showering must be present.

This kind of arrangement made the girls' complexions even more flushed, and Gu Yun giggled with great interest.

Bai Kou ranked Gu Xiaoyi in the first group, and her partner was a girl named Wang Hongshao. Both of them were fourteen years old, and they were only a few months away from their 15th birthday, especially Wang Hongshao was born in early October.

Their bodies were trembling when they walked up the steps to salute the son, and then except for the two of them, the rest of the people had to do the work of third-class girls, and they must not slack off in all kinds of cleaning chores in the courtyard. Bai Kou also reminded them to clean up Don't mess around with a piece of paper when you are in the study, even if you temporarily pick up the book to wipe the table, remember to put it back where it was.

Everyone saluted together, expressing that they understood, and then Bai Kou waved them away for their lunch break.
