delicious little cook

160--Andrew
The next day, Gu Yun was resting at home. He received a reply early in the morning to the few letters he sent out yesterday. His relatives and friends who were close to him all lived in the workshops around the imperial city, and they could not get in touch with each other. More convenient.

Bai Kou knew that the news from Uncle Yan was not so fast, so she changed her clothes and rode out to look at the custom-made items in various shops that had placed orders yesterday.

The ones she customized are really not ordinary standard parts. The taste spoon alone is a strange-looking multifunctional utensil. The shape can be used as a spoon, a soy sauce dish and a soup spoon holder. Too much, this spoon is used once, and it can't be stretched into the pot for a second time if it is stained with saliva, unless it is washed and scalded with boiling water.

Bai Kou himself can guarantee that most of the dishes do not need to be tasted, but the girls under him are still going through the process of practice makes perfect.

Seeing that the tasting spoon was made correctly, Bai Kou went to another blacksmith shop to check the measuring spoon and seasoning spoon. Although her sketches were a bit messy, her length, width, and height were given very detailed dimensions. It doesn't matter what it is, the main thing is that there should be no slight error in the size of the spoon surface, otherwise the meaning of the measuring tool will be lost.

Of course, the most complicated case scale will have to wait for a while. In fact, there is a steelyard in the kitchen, but Bai Kou dislikes that it is not as convenient to use as the case scale, so he still spends a lot of money to customize one. And she is willing to let her spend money, otherwise she won't have new tools to use.

What caught Bai Kou's attention the most was the semi-automatic egg beater, which really needs some technical content. The principle is similar to that of a semi-automatic mop that can be wrung out. The turning head will turn, which saves a lot of effort compared with pure manual operation. Generally, if you beat the egg liquid, you can finish it in the blink of an eye, and you don't have to make a baked snack to exhaust the arms of several girls.

Walking around the shops that had received orders, the craftsmen were steadily showing their skills that they had practiced for many years, and Bai Kou finally went to the bookstore.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore had already made several editions with movable clay type yesterday, and was thinking about writing a letter to Duke Ye's mansion to inquire, when the Lord Master stepped into his door.

After the two parties greeted each other, the shopkeeper took Bai Kou to the typesetting room at the back, showed her a few samples of trial printing, and discussed the details to be revised.

Bai Kou has no opinion on the specific format at all, as long as there is enough blank space for her to write on, what she wants more is to make loose-leaf inner pages with a leather-bound style, which can just use the ready-made typewriters in the bookstore. Hole tool, otherwise how will the books they print be bound.

The shopkeeper had never seen the leather surface and copper hardware that Bai Kou mentioned, but the two businessmen communicated well. Bai Kou drew a sketch for him now, and with a few words, he persuaded the shopkeeper who wanted to drink the first soup on this notepad.

If this book really becomes popular, others will imitate it immediately. If their bookstore wants to develop a stable long-term business, they have to spend more than others and make it more refined.

Bai Kou is willing to pay for the leather cover. After everything is negotiated, the shopkeeper agrees to find a craftsman to customize the leather cover and copper hardware. He will make a few September booklets first and then look at it. Interested, both of them are people with a lot of various entertainment activities, maybe the eldest wife will also be interested, the headed wife has a lot of daily worries.

The shopkeeper also admitted frankly that if it wasn't for the signboard of Duke Ye's mansion, he wouldn't be so easy to talk about.

Bai Kou quickly complimented the shopkeeper a few words, coaxing him to smile, and then he left and rode back home.

After returning the horses in the stables, Bai Kou went straight to Yan Bo's place. It just so happened that he had just received a letter from his family. Fuyangfang Donglong Temple.

Donglong Temple is a great incense temple, and on the anniversary of death in the June Mansion, the master and wife invited the monks of Donglong Temple to do rituals.

As a matchmaker, Yan Bo would naturally set off together, otherwise it would become a private meeting between men and women, which is not good.

Bai Kou thanked Uncle Yan, and returned to the Zhongming Courtyard with the exact news to convey to the crown prince, and then went to the ice cellar and the East kitchen for a tour. be lazy.

After returning to the Zhongming Courtyard again, she was busy making lunch, and Bai Kou could only sit down and rest for a while after the prince's food was delivered to the main room. This morning, she hardly stopped, her legs were sore.

After a short lunch break, Bai Kou started to work on going out on the [-]nd day. She booked a car with the stable, and went to the temple to offer incense in the name of being famous on the list. In order to have a reason to bring the girl, Gu Yun also decided to go out by car. Only let the guards ride horses and follow the carts, and also prepare all kinds of offerings. Calculated in this way, a total of three carts will go out that day, two for people and one for things.

Originally, it would have been good for Bai Kou to let her girls go on errands to pass on these matters, but Gu Yun wanted Bai Kou to handle them herself, so that she could deal with different people. The opportunity to slowly understand all aspects of the mansion.

In the courtyard, Meilun had already been teased and teased enough by everyone, her face, ears and neck were blushing, Gu Yun thought it was noisy, so he drove most of them to the corridor to make a fuss, he only asked Xiaoyi to write in the study, Write back letters to his friends one by one.

I was alone in the room with the young and handsome young master, and the deep voice was provocative, but Gu Xiaoyi didn't dare to lose her mind this time, resisting her trembling hands and beating heart, and wrote the letters one by one according to the content dictated by the young master. good.

When Bai Kou finally finished her errands and returned to her command, she already had the whole rules in mind. After simply talking to the prince, she went back to her room and wrote down all the to-do items. Before leaving on the [-]nd, she had several The progress should be followed up.

While she was busy, Xiaojing suddenly rushed into Bai Kou's room and her study.

"What's wrong?" Bai Kou raised her head and asked when she heard the movement.

"Is the new chef under the third lady's name Mengmei? She has come to Xingshi to inquire about her crimes."

"Why? Can't the chicken cake be made?"

"That's right, she said there was something wrong with the prescription you gave."

"This is the excuse that losers often make for themselves. Any mistake is the fault of others, and they themselves will always be innocent victims. You can't do this in the future."

"We dare not." Xiaojing shrugged and smiled.

"Where is she now?" Bai Kou slowly packed up the paper and pen.

"Standing on the porch, she rushed over aggressively and couldn't be stopped, as if she had been wronged so much, she complained directly in front of the young master with tears in her eyes." Xiaojing thought for a while, "But she is really pretty. Yes, she is a beauty even when she cries."

"This is the advantage of a beautiful woman. An ugly one won't be treated like this."

"It is."

"Let her wait outside for a while, and I'll go out after I pack up."

"it is good."

Xiaojing turned her head and went out, but Bai Kou was not in a hurry, she slowly resumed her interrupted train of thought just now, sorted the papers with to-do items in order, opened the dowry, and straightened her hair in front of the mirror , just got up and went out.
