delicious little cook

Chapter 154 Refreshing and Not Refreshing
Meilunmeihuan brought Gu Xiaoyi and Wang Hongshao into the house with the young master, and helped him to rest. Bai Kou looked outside the bedroom for a while and then she also withdrew. Their old girl would teach them hand in hand, so she didn't need to watch him from the sidelines. with.

Gu Yun's naps have never been long, this is a habit he has developed from studying ethnology since he was a child, taking a nap after lunch and then going to class.

Gu Xiaoyi and Wang Hongshao used trembling hands to help the eldest son get up, change clothes, wash his hands and wash his face. Gu Yun saw them embarrassed and deliberately teased them, touched their faces or hands, but once they were distracted, he would put on a straight face and be cold snort.

Repeatedly, but the two of them have been tossed enough, and the onlookers can't help feeling sympathetic to Mei Luan, who is guiding.

After washing up, she was sitting outside drinking tea, and Xiaojing came in with a note and a purse.

"Young master, the second young master sent someone to ask for the recipe of Bai Guanshi's chicken cake."

Gu Yun took the two items, read the content on the note, weighed the purse, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Second brother knows the goods. Where's Bai Kou?"

"Xiaoqian has already gone to the kitchen to look for her."

After a while, a strange maid's voice came from the corridor outside, saluting Bai Kou, and then the bamboo curtain was lifted, and Bai Kou, who was wearing coarse clothes for cooking, came in to salute.

Gu Yun immediately frowned unhappily.

"Why are you dressed like this again?"

"It's convenient to cook, and it doesn't hurt to splash oil."

"You have so many people under your command, use them if you need something."

"I don't dare to borrow other people's hands to cook for the prince. Their hand feeling has not been cultivated, and they have no sense of proportion. The taste will be different if the amount is more or less. It would be great if there is a standard measuring device. The servant girl can just come up with the recipe. Son, it's so much easier."

"To put it bluntly, you just turned a corner and asked for new things."

"Didn't you see a blacksmith's shop on the street this morning? The locks I bought are pretty good, and the master's craftsmanship should not be bad." Bai Kou stared at Gu Yun with bright eyes.

Gu Yun felt that he already understood Bai Kou's special expression when he was making small plans in his stomach. Looking at her like this, he knew that she wanted new things, but the more real idea was to go out and do it by himself.

"I saw your riding posture this morning is really ugly. Practice hard for me. Don't get scared when you go to the street. Then how can I take you out?" Gu Yun also knew that it is more appropriate to run errands by himself. His brushes and inks were first included in the daily list after he bought them for trial use.

"Yes, son." Bai Kou rolled his eyes, immediately understood what the son meant, and bowed his knees with a smile on his face.

After chatting for so long, Gu Yun remembered the business, raised his hand and threw the purse over.

"Second brother rewards you."

Bai Kou nimbly reached out to catch it, and the heavy weight made her smile and narrow her eyes.

"My servant thanked the second young master for the reward. Which recipe does the second young master want? Egg cake?"

"You know about this?" Gu Yun pinched the note with his fingers.

"Mengmei went to the East Kitchen in the morning and said that if she couldn't make it, the third lady would sell her to the mine. After much deliberation, this chicken cake is worth her kowtow to me."

The corner of Gu Yun's mouth curled up, and he immediately understood Bai Kou's small calculation here, but he wouldn't tell the truth, the cook's private recipe recipe is equivalent to a commercial secret, and it's generous to share it for free, but it doesn't mean anyone wants it It's all free. If you want her prescription, you can't pay for it. Even the second cousin will get some blood.

"It's called cheap but not good. I heard that she, the chef, only has consistent monthly routines?"

"If the third lady gave a high price and found out that she was cheated now, I'm afraid she would have sold her to the mine a long time ago. She has to be lucky that she is a bargain. But she moved very quickly. She knelt down and begged in the morning. Now So I told the second young master to come forward."

"Although her cooking skills are not as good as yours, she must have some skills." Gu Yun rolled his eyes and said suggestively.

"Second Young Master's people are still waiting outside. The servant girl will go back to the house to write the prescription first, so as not to wait for a long time."

Bai Kou saluted and left, and went outside to say hello to the other party, the man continued to wait quietly in the corridor, and Bai Kou went back through the main hall.

After receiving the money from the second young master, the recipe for this chicken cake is naturally written seriously. It is simply a tutorial for beginners. Even those who don’t know anything about baking can follow the recipe step by step without making too many mistakes. The place where there may be mistakes is in the egg beater. There is no electric egg beater, and it is very tiring to beat it purely by hand.

After a stick of incense, Bai Kou finally came out with a prescription full of three pages, and the girl hurriedly thanked her and returned to her command.

Bai Kou sneered as she watched the people leave, and waited for a few days to continue watching Mengmei's jokes. She was not very literate, and she had to find someone to read the recipe to her if she wanted to make a perfect chicken cake.

I sincerely hope that Mengmei will be favored by the second young master, otherwise there will be no chance of earning extra money in the future.

Just thinking about this, Bai Kou suddenly heard footsteps coming from the bedroom behind her, and she quickly turned around with a serious expression.

The prince came out with all the clothes he had worn outside.

"Your Majesty, is this going out?"

"Well, brother asked me to go for a walk on the street."

"Will you come back for dinner at night?"

"uncertain."

"If you don't come back by dinner time, the maid will send the food to Rong En Hall."

"Okay, as you please."

"My son, go slowly."

"Give me back the clothes."

Gu Yun was about to walk down the steps, he turned his head and dropped this sentence.

Bai Kou saluted meekly, and watched the prince walk halfway through the yard, then she turned her head and went back to the house to change clothes, then went to the kitchen to have a look, and threw Gu Xiaoyi and Wang Hongshao to Mei Lun Meihuan for training.

Gu Yun met his eldest cousin Gu Xu at the gate, and the two brothers chatted leisurely while walking in the direction of Shizi Street.

The second aunt Tong was born in a scholarly family, and her uncles and brothers have always been noble in the court. The three children born to her all have an aloof and lofty temperament. For rare things, Gu Yun waited patiently for his elder brother to say something to him.

It is true that Gu Xu was looking for Gu Yun for his elder sister Gu Wan. She was pushed hard by her cousin Tong Mingli and had been asking her to discuss cooking skills with her. She urgently needed Bai Kou's help. The second wife dispatched her at will, so she had to get Gu Yun's consent, but she felt that it was hard to say anything, the two of them walked on the street and were still chatting, but they didn't get to the point.

While patiently socializing with his elder brother, Gu Yun walked around the silver building purposefully.

"What is the third brother visiting the silver building? Do you want to give someone a gift?"

"Buy some rewards. Today, I made up more than a dozen newcomers. It's not good to have no rewards."

"Do newcomers who have just entered the door need to prepare things so quickly?"

"It's also a preparation to buy and leave it alone. It's better than having nothing at hand when you want to tip."

Gu Yun thought of Bai Kou's obsession with cleanliness, so he asked the shopkeeper to wrap sixteen pairs of sterling silver cloves with unique patterns, and then continued to look at other things, thinking that after the ranking order of the newcomers was determined, the first and second ranks would have to be rewarded separately, and the married four A girl also needs to prepare a gift, and Bai Kou's reward is indispensable.

There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Tianshuifang, and there are several silver houses on the street, and the grades are not low. Gu Yun walked through them very patiently, bought a lot of odds and ends, and asked the shopkeepers to send them to Duke Ye's mansion. .

Gu Xu murmured and didn't get to the point.

Gu Yun spent enough money and wanted to go home.
