delicious little cook

Chapter 201 Learn more about the process
When Gu Yun came back from washing his hands, his emotions had been reorganized. Seeing Bai Kou entering the room with new tea, he lifted the corner of his robe and leaned back on the couch.

Bai Kou knew that he had something serious to discuss, so he put down his teacup and sent the maids to continue guarding outside the door.

"What do you want to say, Shizi?"

"How can you find out that we are being plotted against in advance?"

Gu Yun picked up the teacup and blew on it, and asked vaguely.

"The maid watches you practice martial arts every day. The maid knows when your strength is exhausted. In addition, the horses are changed too quickly. Master Gong's polo horse must be a good breed. Even if it is a tactical need to protect the physical strength of the horses And they change horses frequently, but their physical strength still drops a bit fast."

Bai Kou's thoughts turned quickly, seamlessly.

"Your perspective on polo is really fresh."

"The servants are not the only ones who only look at the handsome guys at the football game. Aren't the ladies who come to support you all come for you young masters?"

"But they didn't see a problem, not even the frequency of changing the horses."

"Because a handsome guy is better looking, handsome and handsome, and beautiful."

"Don't be silly, talk about the business, the master will definitely ask for details later."

"Oh, what else do you want to know?"

Bai Kou smiled and looked obediently answering every question. Seeing her like this, Gu Yun felt that goose bumps were about to appear on her body again.

Gu Yun coughed dryly, collected himself, and continued to ask.

"What is that fake wheat? Is it good for horses? Can humans eat it?"

"People and animals can't eat too much. There is a limited amount. If you eat too much, you will die suddenly. If you eat a little bit, it will be like today. It will make the horse fatigue faster and lose its combat effectiveness."

"Did people eat it?"

"Only people will eat this during the famine period. After being ground into powder, it is commonly known as moonshine flour."

"Huh? Moonshine flour is the flour made from fake wheat?"

"Yes, it is mixed with normal grain to make steamed buns, and the steamed buns will turn blue and white like moonlight. It is a food substitute for famine years. The same flour used to make a hundred steamed buns is mixed with a certain proportion of moonlight flour. The steamed buns can be made smaller, made into [-] pieces, and served to [-] people. Because they can’t be digested after eating, it gives people the illusion that they are not hungry, but the effect of the medicine makes people tired, so they can only find a place to lie down softly. They don’t have the energy to leave the disaster area to make a living elsewhere.”

"I don't know how much my Fuyun ate today?!"

"The stomachs of horses are not afraid. To horses, they are plants like ordinary grass seeds. If they are to be eaten by humans, they must be ground into powder and made into food. It is too troublesome and not cost-effective. It is necessary to use fake wheat."

"So the sequence is that you first find out that there is something wrong with the people on the field, and you go to the stables to find evidence? The guy with the tumor on his ear didn't suspect you?"

"I gave him a little change, pretended that the men in the stands were thirsty, and told him to get some fresh tea. He thought the servant girl was here to ask for tea, so he ran away. The servant girl tasted the leftover tea, After the taste of the tea is weak, the smell of the medicine will appear, but the fresh tea can cover the smell of the medicine very well."

"Oh!" Gu Yun finally suddenly realized how those people showed their flaws, "It turns out that they were all defeated by you. That guy is also very good, he cheated at both ends, and none of us found out that he was a fake. "

"It's really hard to guard against double cheating, but the vigilance of the golfers is too low. The maid walks casually in the stable, and the substitute golfers just take a look and don't ask questions. They just keep their eyes on the field. Even a maidservant would definitely prescribe medicine with such a good opportunity."

"I see. It seems that when you go out to play with strangers in the future, you still need to bring your own groom and fodder."

"be careful and live long."

Gu Yun nodded silently, drank half a cup of tea, and went out happily to say good night to his grandmother and parents.

The old lady didn't know about the fact that her grandson was being plotted against while playing polo with someone outside today, so she held her hand and chatted about some household matters. After sitting for a quarter of an hour, the old man fell asleep. Gu Yun told the maids to take good care of him. , transferred to the parents.

After dismissing the girls, the Duke of the State naturally asked about the conflict in the afternoon with concern. The founding princes and the uncles of the country have never had any major conflicts. Generally speaking, they should be royalists standing in the same trench. Bai Kou quarreled with Ye Junting's girls, and the prince felt uncomfortable. What the girls said could reflect some of the attitude of the master's family. Big mistake.

After talking with his father, Gu Yun whispered to his mother again while his father went to the study to consider business matters, and told about the grievances and conflicts between the second aunt's newly bought cook and Bai Kou.

After hearing this, the eldest lady felt a headache, and she slandered what kind of crap the sister-in-law's subordinates were doing.

"It's exciting now. They have bullied Bai Kou for several years. Now Bai Kou is in charge of the house, and they are low-level girls. Bai Kou made it clear that she would not cooperate, and even threatened Zeng Zhu. She is the second aunt after all. The dowry is hers until death. But if you want to tell Second Aunt directly that they have conflicts, Second Aunt will definitely make it a condition to change someone again, and ask Bai Kou to teach her private recipes."

"Let's just pretend we don't know. Let's see how they meet first. They bullied Bai Kou in the workshop. Now we can't let them put on airs as senior sisters. At most, we can take advantage of them behind our backs."

"Or instigate slander in front of Second Aunt."

"Let them say, it would be great if she didn't like Bai Kou anymore, so she won't have to use her brains to transfer Bai Kou to the second room to marry your third sister."

"Mom, don't scare me! How could Second Aunt use such a brain?"

"Your grandfather didn't divide the family when he died, which delayed the marriage of her eldest son and daughter. Now she is at the tip of her horns, thinking that we owe her, and she can do whatever she wants, or she is bullying her. Her natal father and brother are in The imperial court is full of noble circles, and they serve the saint, if they file a complaint for her, we will not be able to find out in time."

"Then you have to coax her?"

"Before the separation, I can only coax her. You have two older brothers. If they don't get married, you won't be able to get married if they don't get married. I still worry about this. If the old lady says to separate, I will be the first." Agreed."

"Third aunt was the first to disagree."

"Then there is no way. The public has provided for them for so long, and can they continue to support them? They have seven children, and your third uncle's annual salary is not enough to support the children. Even when they are old, they have not saved a property. To the public How long do you want to eat and drink for nothing without making any contributions? Do you know how much the dowries of the five daughters under his knee cost? Would your third aunt be willing to use her private house to pay for the dowry of the concubine? Even if she is willing, she It’s not enough to take out all the money, and in the end the money didn’t fall on Gongzhong’s head.”

"Second uncle also has five children under his knees."

"But the two daughters are both descendants. For the daughters' marriage, your second aunt is willing to use her private house as a dowry for her daughters even if she bites her teeth. As for the two bastards below, there are still several years before they reach adulthood, so there is no rush." For a while."

"Okay, mother, we digressed."

"Hey, I'm old too. How can I tell you this? If you had married a wife earlier, I would have had a chat with your daughter-in-law."

"Mother, there's no rush for this matter, it will be too late when I pass the Jinshi exam."

"Hmph, can you pass the exam next year?"

"If I fail the exam next year, there will be another time. If I pass the exam next time, I will only be 19 years old at the time. I will bear the title of a young Jinshi, and I will worry about not having a wife? I am afraid that the saints will give marriages. "

"Hehehehe, okay, according to your golden mouth, focus on studying hard first, don't think about those messy things, you are tired today, say hello to your father, go back early and have a rest."

The eldest lady accepted her son's gift lovingly, watched him go out, and then put aside the possible housework of the second room, and thought about it at dawn.
