delicious little cook

Chapter 213 Gu Yun's Public Announcement
"This is finger cake, there are salty and sweet, please try it and see if it suits your taste." Da Furen greeted warmly.

The ladies and ladies thanked each other, added sugar to the milk tea according to their own taste, stirred it evenly with a teaspoon, blew on the hot air, and carefully tasted a few mouthfuls. They also tasted one of the four flavors of finger cakes in turn.

"Well, it's crispy, delicious, and quite fragrant. I'll have another one."

"The milk tea is also well-cooked, and I like sweet ones."

"Me too, I have tried salty milk tea, but I don't think it tastes as sweet as it does."

"It's also quite skillful to make milk tea."

"This little biscuit is also good, and it is made with care."

"I've eaten all the refreshments, now I'm waiting for the cook to come out and meet the real person."

"Such a good craftsmanship, is it an old cook with rich experience? Why have I never heard of it, where did I find it?"

"Everyone has eaten the last banquet, that is the skill of this cook." The eldest lady said with a smile, "She has been in the mansion for half a year, and she came in at the end of spring."

"Such a good cook has been hidden for so long. If I knew it, I should have called you to hold tea parties often." The eldest lady's sister Yu Heshi pointed at her sister and giggled.

"She is dedicated to serving Brother Yun, so she doesn't serve picky elders like you." The old lady took the words and said with a smile.

The madam who retreated from the front hall was immediately overjoyed. Amidst the laughter, Jin Gan got a message from the girl outside, telling the eldest lady that Bai Kou was waiting outside the door to be summoned.

The eldest lady quickly agreed, and everyone's laughter gradually stopped, and they all looked in the direction of the door curiously.

The girl outside the door raised the curtain, and Bai Kou stepped across the threshold with a low eyebrow.

She deliberately went back to the house to wash her face and change her clothes. Her hair was neatly combed, but she still only wore pearl cloves and hairpins, a little light makeup, and a red leaf-colored beanie. She walked calmly and calmly.

Bai Kou stared directly at the ground in front of the seat, but did not look at the old matriarch and the eldest lady. Out of the corner of his eye, he used the corner of his eye to observe the guests on both sides. The three young masters were all standing behind their mother.

"My maidservant Bai Kou sends greetings to the old matriarch, to the eldest lady, to the second lady, to the third lady, to the eldest young master, to the second young master, to the eldest son, to the eldest aunt, to the second aunt Greetings, ladies and gentlemen."

Bai Kou politely saluted and greeted everyone, everyone in the room greeted each other, there was no mistake in the etiquette, Gu Yun raised his eyebrows quietly, only to realize that Bai Kou had already practiced the etiquette well. up.

The front hall and the hall were quiet, all the ladies and ladies stared at Bai Kou in disbelief.

"Such a young girl is that very powerful cook?!"

"It's amazing. The old people in my kitchen have been tidied up. If she hadn't arranged these few big banquets, it would not have gone so smoothly." Conceal her smug face.

"This girl is also good at cooking vegetarian banquets. I really should find a chance to let you all try her vegetarian dishes." The old lady also smiled so that all the creases on her face bloomed.

"Oh! This is the cook who made quicksand buns that day?" Mrs. Lu, the wife of Duke Yi, looked up and down Bai Kou several times in surprise. He finished it, and he brought it all over here, and within two days a few baskets of big steamed buns were sent over here, ouch, when it was steamed and opened, the color! The fragrance! The taste! It’s really good!"

Ladies and ladies were immediately aroused by the new snack quicksand bag.

"Ms. Huang's ridiculous praise, I'm ashamed to take it." Bai Kou slightly turned to Huang Lu's, and saluted meekly.

"Oh, let me tell you, I wanted to use the quicksand bag for today's pastry, but the egg yolk stuffing is too troublesome, so I have no choice but to forget it. The next time we have a chance, we sisters will get together and we must make it in advance. Get ready." The eldest lady said with a little regret.

"That's easy, how about changing the tea party for the second half of the month to your place?" Yu He immediately answered.

"It's ok. I'm free for the second half of the month. The children will all go to school tomorrow. I'll be fine at home. Qiu Wei has exhausted me this month. I really don't want to go out to attend the tea party."

"Okay, okay, don't move, let's come over."

"Auntie, is this girl really called Bai Kou?" Behind the gauze screen, Miss Yu Si, the lady's niece, suddenly asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I heard that Cousin Yun and his sons were playing polo in Bajingfang a few days ago, and Huang Bin brought a girl named Bai Kou."

"Oh, it's this girl. It's the first time I took her out. She doesn't recognize the ladies in our circle. Since there is a chance, Huang Bin will help to be an introducer." The eldest lady said in a very disapproving tone.

"That's right, I was warming up in the stables at that time, and Huang Bin did me a favor when I had nothing to do, so I changed it to eating and taking food in my yard today, and there was nothing left." Gu Yun looked very upset at Huang Bin. The helplessness of the method made all the elders laugh again.

But there was an instant silence behind the gauze screen, and the lively atmosphere of chatting and laughing seemed to usher in a cold winter.

It has been spread in the circle of noble ladies these days that Miss Perfect Ye Junting's girl has spoken rudely to Huang Bin's girl, and the two sides quarreled a few words.

Only now did I realize that the girl had nothing to do with Huang Bin, but Gu Yun's.

Who doesn't know that Ye Junting likes Gu Yun a little bit, and pays most attention to his affairs. She even knows the number of his dormitory in Qiuwei. Even if her own brother is taking the exam, she has never been so concerned.

The girls watched Ye Junting's reaction secretly, and saw that her complexion was the same as that of Tong Mingli before, pale and pale, while Tingfeng and Tinghua who were following her were already kneeling by the door of Baoxia with ashen faces. The girls looked at them with disdain and gloating.

Tong Mingli straightened up, swept away the frustration of being slapped in the face by the egg cake before, cleared her throat and walked towards the screen, and said in a joking tone.

"Huh? This is a bit confusing. Seeing that the girl saluted properly, Ye Junting's girl had an argument with the child that day. When she returned to the stands, she complained that the child was not polite, contradicted her, and belittled the lady. That day In a hurry, I didn't look too carefully, and now I don't see where she is not good enough?"

The elders in the front hall fell into an embarrassing silence, and the girls in the back shut their mouths wisely. Ye Junting stared fiercely at Tong Mingli.

Fortunately, the uncomfortable atmosphere only lasted for a few breaths, and Gu Yun broke the scene with a smile.

"Thank you, Ms. Tong, for your righteous words. Only then did I realize that my girl was wronged for nothing that day. She is really an honest child who doesn't know how to complain."

Gu Yun suddenly put on a serious expression, and his sharp eyes swept to the back of the gauze screen.

"In order to avoid similar incidents in the future, I will formally report that Bai Kou is my steward of the Zhongming Institute. If you are dissatisfied with my steward, you are welcome to report to me directly."

"Such a small girl?! The manager of the Zhongming Court? The second person in the inner house?" Huang Lu was surprised, and the other wives and ladies were not so calmer than her.

"Cousin, do you know how decent a senior servant is? If it weren't for Bai Kou's ability, she would be able to take care of the slippery old man who is like a fried dough stick, and she would be willing to listen to her orders?"

Once again, there was silence in Jicheng Hall.
