delicious little cook

Chapter 211
The old matriarch was very interested, and asked people to go to the school grounds to see if the men had left, and if they had, they would invite all three young masters to visit the elders.

The girl had just taken the order to leave, and all the ladies present felt shy, and then another girl moved two gauze screens to block the passages on both sides of the main hall leading to the back hall.

The ladies who came to visit, under the leadership of the third miss, Gu Wan, saluted the elders and went back together. Once the gauze screen was in the way, they could peep at the people in the main hall openly.

Jicheng Hall also has a back building, the door of the building is open, and you can see the garden behind the building. Today's lunch for the three of Gu Hui was made by the small kitchen of Zhongmingyuan. The four old girls who are used to it Well done to the menu written by Bai Kou.

Gu Wan, as the oldest sister, took the guests to enjoy the flowers in the garden to eat and drink. Gu Hui watched them from the second floor. Everyone in the capital knew about Gu Xiaoshan's family's scandals. No need for Gu Wan's introduction, everyone guessed. Knowing who she is, knowing that she was abused since she was a child, and now she is stupid, many kind-hearted girls waved to her downstairs, and some thought she didn't exist.

Aunt Rong stayed in the room, just in case anyone thought she looked familiar. She had also shown up in the circle of official wives before, so in order to cause unnecessary trouble, she would not leave the room until the guests returned home.

The girls were laughing and chatting in the garden, the maids were waiting indoors, and the maids of the eldest lady brought fresh tea and snacks, making Tuitang and Baosha look like they were entertaining guests.

The eldest lady was from Lanshan Hou He's family. Today, two unmarried daughters came to the He family. They are the children of the eldest wife's two first-line brothers. Since they are the inner nieces of the closest relatives, Gu Wan, who has the duty of hospitality, naturally treats them both. A lot of care, even Tong Mingli and Ye Junting took the initiative to chat with them.

All the maids who were waiting in the room suddenly came out one after another and called their ladies to go in.

"Miss, come back!"

"The three masters are here and are saluting at the front!"

The girls urged cheerfully, and all the girls immediately filed back into the room with shame on their faces, passed through the Baosha to the retreat hall, and squeezed behind the gauze screens on both sides to look out and look out.

Gu Xu, Gu Jing, and Gu Yun are of different ages and have different personalities and temperaments. Of course, Gu Yun is the one who attracts the most attention. His status as the son of Lord Ye makes his worth soaring. Even girls who have never met him all love him. The name is familiar.

The three young people heard the continuous laughter behind the gauze screen, looked over there curiously, smiled, then looked away, stood beside their respective mothers, and focused on talking to the elders in the main hall.

At this moment, Jin Gan led the four second-class maids to bring in the small trolley. There were plates on the trolleys on the third floor, and they thanked Gu Jing with a smile.

"Old Madam, madam, ladies and gentlemen, our second master Jing is thoughtful, and specially asked his cook to make fresh snacks to serve with tea."

The wives laughed, and then saw the maids pushing the carts, putting the snacks on the small tea tables next to the wives one by one, and finally put the remaining plates into the gauze screen.

There are full-bodied chicken cakes on the plate, but because there are no miniature molds, the finished product is still relatively large, with black and white sesame seeds or nuts sprinkled on the surface, freshly baked, and smells fragrant.

The wives were amazed, but the ladies inside the screen were exclaiming. Everyone was looking at the pale Tong Mingli.

In the summer, Tong Mingli tried out the recipe of chicken cake and succeeded in making it. She was very proud of the whole hot day, but the problem of the collapse in the middle of the cake has never been solved. The finished product, and it was only made by the cook in the house, what does it mean?
In the eyes of these young ladies, chicken cake recipes from the palace are actually not uncommon in Duke Ye's mansion.

And they immediately thought that the chicken cake that Tong Mingli brought on Gu Wan's birthday was simply trying to make people laugh with her clumsy work.

Tong Mingli felt the anger of being insulted, but she couldn't do it again. Her nose was sore, her eye sockets turned red quickly, and her vision blurred.

Ye Junting smiled gloatingly, walked to the coffee table, picked up a piece of chicken cake, broke off a small piece and tasted it.

"Well, it tastes great! Come and taste it, it's no worse than that shop's!"

Except for Tong Mingli and Gu's girl, other noble ladies came to the dim sum plate to taste. From time to time, the elders who were chatting in front heard the sound of admiration coming from behind the gauze screen. Madam praised Gu Jing for his taste in food.

Gu Yun felt sick to his stomach when he heard that, if it wasn't for Bai Kou's recipe, how could Mengmei have the ability to make delicious chicken cakes, and even made so many on purpose, who wouldn't know that Tong Mingli was here today?Gu Jing did this, did he come here to slap people in the face?Or do you want to say that as long as you marry the second brother, you will have delicious food every day?
If it's the latter, whoever marries Gu Jing in the future will be eaten like a pig?
In Gu Yun's mind, a slender girl's body turned into a ball like a blown air after day after day of overeating, and he couldn't help shivering.

The eldest lady chatted with the guests calmly, pretending not to see the open and secret fight between the sisters-in-law, Gu Jing suddenly showed her hand, and slapped Tong Mingli heavily in the face. Naturally, the most angry person on the field now is the second lady Tong Shi.

Tong Shi was going crazy with such a good opportunity today, but the four new cooks she bought were unable to do any work because of mistakes. , Gu Wan's marriage might be settled!
The third wife, Mrs. Pei, is in a different mood from her sister-in-law. She really uses delicious food as a bait to stir up the competitive spirit of the ladies, and see if anyone takes up the challenge and shows off her boudoir skills. , so that she can choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law in the future.

Gu Yun also pretended to be ignorant of the unnatural atmosphere in the hall, and decided to let the second brother show off today, and was too lazy to call Bai Kou over to argue for it. The lunch banquet at noon was enough for her to be tired, so there was no need to call her It's meaningless to come to join in this excitement.

What's more, if Bai Kou was called here to save face, it wouldn't be to hang the eldest brother Gu Xu on the wall. The newly bought cook by the second aunt is still recovering from her injuries.

The second aunt was originally stuck in a corner because of the children's marriage, so she could only coax her in every possible way. Who would dare to arouse her hysteria at this time.

After weighing things up and down like this, Gu Yun resolutely discarded his integrity, and vigorously praised his second brother Gu Jing, boasting that there is nothing in the world, and Gu Xu also chimed in, making the wives and ladies laugh non-stop. , successfully aroused the interest of the women's relatives in Gu Jing, the female elders had a good chat with the third wife, and the laughter of the ladies was melodious.
