delicious little cook

Chapter 180: On the List
After the young masters went out, Bai Kou ate breakfast by herself, walked around to check the work as usual, went to the East Kitchen to tell Zeng Zhu about the quicksand bag, and then she went back to Zhongming Courtyard to change her riding clothes, and went to the stables to lead her. Immediately went to the street.

In addition to taking back the custom-made case scale, she also bought a little caustic soda and white sugar. She carried a few things in one hand and held the rein with one hand, and went all the way back to the mansion smoothly.

The desk scales are placed in the kitchen, and the caustic soda and sugar are hidden in the study room in the back building. Bai Kou wants to make some handmade soap for washing underwear and socks. Aunt Su helped wash the other clothes, and she also took care of Bai Kou's needlework, which saved Bai Kou a lot of worry.

The old pots and mixers for making soap are all ready-made. There are some unused old things in the East Kitchen that have long been picked up by Bai Kou for waste, and no one knows what she wants to do.

Before lunch, Bai Kou specially went to the East Kitchen to tell them that they kept the waste oil after frying for her, and she would get it after lunch, and brought back a big urn of filtered waste oil, and the fried pieces in the oil were filtered out up.

After taking a nap for a while, Bai Kou started to work in the empty tea room of the back building. As long as Shi Zi was not at home, this garden was her world alone.

After the catering business I ran in my previous life became bigger, for the sake of the brand image, as a boss, I had to publicize that I support environmental protection and health, and resolutely do not use margarine. The easiest way is to use kitchen waste oil to make handmade household soap .

Who would have thought that the little knowledge of handmade soap that I learned just for the sake of business at the beginning would come in handy now. If you want to use a piece of soap, you have to do it yourself. benefit.

This is waiting for the soap to be used. Naturally, the cold method with a long maturity period will not be adopted. Put on another newly made mask and gloves, and directly use the hot method.

After more than an hour, Bai Kou made the soap, and put them in the empty room on the second floor. Open the windows for ventilation, and they can be used after the mold is removed.

After cleaning up the aftermath and restoring the tea room to its original state, Bai Kou washed her hands and went for a walk in front. The girls thought she had been reading in the room.

Bai Kou wandered over to the East Kitchen to watch them making quicksand buns. The carriage was already waiting outside the back door of the kitchen. The wrapped raw buns were placed in a small steamer, covered with wet gauze to keep the dough moist, and several large food boxes were put in. Go, the coachman whipped his whip and set off quickly.

After the share from the Duke of Yi's mansion was sent out, the steamed buns began to be boiled in the kitchen, and all the houses and courtyards were dipped to taste something new.

The second young master Gu Jing took the opportunity to call Mengmei into the room to ask her how to make quicksand stuffing. Mengmei hesitated and couldn't answer, so the second young master closed the door of the room for a "punishment". The girls around her wouldn't tell the truth about this kind of thing, otherwise they would know what would happen.

In the evening, when Gu Yun came back from Jianshuifang, he watched the hands-on discussion at the chess club all day. He himself felt a little dizzy. After the girls waited for him to wash his hands and change his clothes, he went to the Arhat couch for a while. Lay down and don't want to get up.

In the last few days of the month, Gu Yun didn't go out again. Even though he didn't say anything and was always focused on molesting the girl, he could still see his nervousness. Bai Kou had a deep understanding of this state of mind. I was in such a mood before I learned the result, I could only bear it myself, and no one else could help me.

On the first day of September, the day when Qiu Wei released the list, the mansion sent servants to wait outside the gate of the Gongyuan early in the morning. The family members waited at home with mixed emotions of anticipation, anxiety and anxiety.

Gu Yun ate breakfast with a good appetite, and then went to Rong En Hall, waiting for the news with his grandmother and mother.

He was young, and planned to fail before he entered the arena. Unlike his second cousin Gu Jing, who had his 17th birthday at the beginning of the year, if he wanted to make progress in his official career in this life, he had to be young. Being on the list this time, Gu Jing can focus on Chunwei, and others will congratulate another young man like Gu Xu, the eldest brother, in the family.

The third master and the third wife were waiting nervously for the news with their son at home, and asked the girl what time it was after a while.

Bai Kou served the young master's breakfast, and then went to the east kitchen. Today is the 13th birthday of the second concubine and the fourth young master, Gu Feng, so I have to cook something delicious for him.

The Fourth Young Master Gu Feng will be taking the boy test for the first time next spring, and the current atmosphere at home has affected him to some extent. In the room of his biological mother, Aunt Liu, he was so nervous that he could fidget.

Outside the gate of the tribute courtyard, the soldiers were posting the list. Every time a post was posted, there would be a crowd of people behind it watching. Those standing in the front row obliged to recite their names aloud, so that those standing behind could identify whether they were there or not.

The servants of Duke Ye's family were also crowded in the crowd, and the list was pasted backwards from the last one, and the first few posted did not have the names of their two young masters. Post the third last one.

But at this time, the servants of the Gu family heard a familiar name, and it was on the list of Gu Jingbang.

The two were excited and happy for a while, then continued to follow the crowd and listened to the name of the person in front of them.

On the penultimate list, there is no Gu Yun's name, and the last one is the top of the list, with only ten names on it, and the person standing at the front recites this year's autumn to the surrounding people word by word in the loudest voice. top ten.

When the third name was read from top to bottom, the servants of the Gu family rushed out of the crowd cheering and screaming, and ran to Gongyuanwai Street, where all the carriages and horses stopped as usual.

"I got it! I got it! I got it all!"

"Hurry back to the mansion! Go back to the mansion!"

The two family servants climbed into the carriage, and the driver had already turned the front of the carriage in advance. At this moment, the whip was raised, and the carriage set off immediately.

The coachman whipped his whip vigorously while shouting "Happy News", and the pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on the street suddenly knew that this was a carriage going back to announce the good news, and they gave way one after another. He rushed into Tianshuifang with the fastest speed, and made a sudden stop outside his house.

"Happy news! Happy news!"

"Men are all hits! They're all hits!"

"The third son of the world! The third!"

The servants who went to see the list didn't have time to get out of the car, so they just stuck their heads out and shouted. The servants on duty outside the door immediately spread the news to the inner house layer by layer, and the entire Ye State Duke's mansion soon boiled.

The two young masters in the family who took the exam were both selected for the exam, and the younger son won No.3, and the second young master ranked third. Although the ranking was much behind his younger brother, both of them are now in the exam. Most importantly, rankings don't matter.

The old matriarch and the eldest lady were full of joy, and ordered the whole government to reward them, and all the servants were given an extra month's salary.

The third room was also overjoyed, and the servants lined up to kowtow to the main room to congratulate the second young master, and the third master also ordered the third room to add an extra month of rules.

The servants of the Second Household were very envious, and they strongly hoped that the Eldest Young Master would also be a high school tribute next year in Chunwei, and then participate in the palace examination and come back with the number one scholar, and everyone would be happy.
