delicious little cook

Chapter 212 Bai Kou's Dessert

Seeing that the elder sister-in-law and Gu Yun did not propose to call Bai Kou, the third wife, Mrs. Pei, felt relieved. She knew that the eldest house was taking care of everyone's face, and she naturally knew how the chicken cake recipe came from. of.

But a certain mad lady ignored this point and looked at Gu Yun lovingly.

"Brother Yun, Brother Jing's cook has prepared snacks for the elders, what did your cook prepare?"

Gu Jing became the focus of all the wives' concerns. In order not to grab the limelight, Gu Yun deliberately ran to the wife of Lord Yi's eldest son, Mrs. Lu, to talk. In terms of seniority, Gu Yun had to call Mr. Yi his uncle and Mrs. Lu his cousin. Aunt, that is, Huang Bin's mother.

The second wife, Tong Shi, suddenly said this, and immediately put the focus of the audience on Gu Yun, and the eldest lady and the third lady couldn't help but secretly scolded this sister-in-law for nothing.

Looking at the gazes of the elders, Gu Yun smiled awkwardly.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't prepare any snacks for the elders in advance. There were only some snacks for guests, and Huang Bin ate them all."

"Hahahaha, I said why did that kid Huang Bin come here after breakfast. It turns out that Brother Yun prepared delicious food in the nursery." Lu's memory of the quicksand bag was still fresh, and she immediately smoothed things over.

"Cousin, brother Bin is only one and a half years younger than my family Gu Yun, is he also starting to make a fuss?" The lady continued, wanting to further divert the topic.

"Yeah, the appetite has started to increase a bit. I am greedy, especially greedy. I burped at the dinner table, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and turned around to see him eating two pieces of pastry."

"It's a good thing to be able to eat. Brother Bin is also an active person. Let him eat as much as he can. He is so big and has a sense of proportion. I'm not afraid that he will spoil himself."

Among the wives present were Gu Yun's two older sisters. They were sitting on the embroidered pier next to the old matriarch. Gu Xian, the eldest sister, answered Lu's words with a smile, and Gu Jie, the second sister, nodded in agreement.

The other wives also agreed that it is a good thing that children can eat, besides, it is not impossible for a family like theirs to support them.

The second wife, Tong Shi, saw that the topic was diverted, and she became resentful in her heart, opened her mouth, and brought the topic back.

"What delicious food did Brother Yun's cook cook, so that Brother Bin can't stop eating?"

"It's not a rare thing, just a little dried meat to eat with tea. I didn't make much in the first place, and before I knew it, there was nothing left." Gu Yun explained with a smile.

"It's true, your cook is still the master chef today, and she is all focused on the banquet, so it is inevitable that she is not very thorough on your side."

As soon as the second wife, Tong Shi, said this, the wives and ladies were immediately in high spirits, the dishes on the banquet were still relishing in their mouths, they laughed and asked Gu Yun to call his cook to meet him and ask for some private cooking skills.

Gu Yun nodded helplessly to his mother, and the eldest lady immediately sent the second-class maids to look for her.

The girls first went to the Zhongming Courtyard via the small kitchen, and when they found out that Bai Kou hadn't come back, they hurried out of the courtyard gate and walked along Babu Lane to the East Kitchen, and happened to meet Bai Kou who was returning to the Zhongming Courtyard on the way.

Hearing the girls' rumors, Bai Kou slandered the second wife for making trouble on purpose, and led them to the ice cellar. There were small desserts that needed to be condensed at low temperature, but they were not for entertaining guests, but for the old lady. The daily snacks of Mrs. Jun and Mrs. Gu Chen and Gu Hui, the Sixth Young Masters, can only be used to show off.

A few heavy food boxes were brought out from the ice cellar, and everyone hurried to the small kitchen. Bai Kou washed his hands immediately, lit a fire on the stove to make milk tea, and called for people to undie-cut the snacks and put them on platters. The maids went back to answer the lady first, and then cleared the coffee table to make room for new snacks.

In order to prevent the guests from waiting for a long time, Bai Kou asked people to prepare dried fruit and put it in a special double-layer four-compartment dried fruit plate, which is the kind of thing with dried fruit on the upper layer and shells on the lower layer.

This dried fruit plate was first sent to Jicheng Hall along with the newly changed tea. The unique shape of the dried fruit plate immediately aroused the interest of the ladies and ladies. The dried fruit snacks are usually stored in boxes, and there is no special place for collecting fruit shells. This new fruit plate Let the ladies and ladies watch it non-stop, and they all admire the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the craftsman.

Now that they knew that the snacks in the small kitchen were being plated, the dried fruit was naturally reduced to watching the plate. Everyone was only discussing this new thing and no one was going to eat it.

After a while, the maids came in with a platter of red bean cake, pea yellow, and nine-layer cake, and replaced the dried fruit plate.

There are not many such small cold spots, so they can only be cut into diamond-shaped pieces that are easy to eat in one bite. Put three pieces of each, and there are only three pieces on a plate, a total of nine pieces.

This time, the wives and ladies were no longer polite, they tasted it one after another, and then praised it endlessly, it was really delicious, the taste was extremely delicate, and it melted with a sip of the mouth, without any residue.

"It's so delicious! It's very finely made!"

"It melts in the mouth, it tastes like imperial food, this cook is capable, she has real kung fu!"

"Yes, melting in the mouth without leaving any residue is the basic requirement of imperial dining dim sum. You can't scratch the nobles' throats, right?"

The people who are most familiar with imperial meals are those from Ye Guojiu's family. Not only Gu Xian and her husband went home to have dinner, but Ye Junting also came with her parents. The wife of Guojiu has the most say.

Even the ladies behind the gauze screen couldn't wait any longer.

"I really want to see that capable cook soon, can't she come over?"

"Sisters, please be more patient. The cook cooks the banquet and prepares the food. She always gives people time to wash their hands and change their clothes." The second young lady, Gu Jie, smiled softly at the screen.

A few laughter came from behind the gauze screen, but no one urged.

At this time, Jin Gan had to report to the girl below, and went to his wife and whispered a few words.

"The cook didn't come here so soon. The kitchen is making milk tea, and there is still a baked snack that hasn't been served. Why don't you help me to clear the dishes so that the girls can take them away." The lady laughed.

Everyone was very happy to do so, and after a while, there was only one cup of tea on the coffee table at hand.

The focus of everyone's chatting is now all on Gu Yun, and the chicken cakes have been left behind. The third wife is annoyed that the second wife is looking for trouble, but she has to smile happily, pretending not to care, and clutching the hands hidden in her sleeves. became a fist.

The second-class maids at the door began to gather, and a trolley with tea sets and food appeared outside the door. They lifted the trolley over the threshold with a joint effort, and placed a saucer, a cup with a handle and A tea spoon, then milk tea from the pot, a small sugar bowl, and finally four bamboo tubes with lids.

The guests took off the lids of the pen holders one after another. Inside were small, long and thin finger-like snacks, some sprinkled with sesame seeds, some sprinkled with chopped nuts, and some sprinkled with chopped green onions.
