delicious little cook

Chapter 25 Follow the young master to Wenling courtyard
Seeing them walk away from the kitchen gate, everyone in the kitchen courtyard was boiling like a frying pan. No one could have imagined that Bai Kou, who has always been quiet, would become the final winner.

"The dishes she made for the competition were included in the Xiaoyan menu. I really didn't realize that there was a character hidden among us."

"The third young master's chef is so easy to cook, isn't it just a novelty."

"Knowing that the third young master's picture is fresh, why didn't you make a fresh one just now? What's the point of talking sour now!" Lu Doudou chewed the delicious raw fried, sprayed soup all over his mouth, and defended Bai Kou unconvinced.

"You didn't come up with anything new, didn't you?" Lu Doudou's words were like a map bomb, which immediately aroused everyone's unanimous rebuttal.

"I lost, I admit it, I'm convinced, I'm not unhappy." Lu Doudou bit the second pan fried, sucked a big mouthful of soup loudly, sincerely annoyed.

"Who doesn't know that you and Bai Kou wear a pair of trousers and whisper together all day long." An old chef twitched his mouth and nose.

"If you want to put it that way, now that Bai Kou is the chef of the third young master, I have a backer." Lu Doudou licked his oily mouth and grinned.

"You're really brazen at such a young age."

Lu Doudou turned her face away, pretending not to hear.

"Doudou, Doudou, Doudou, let's taste how delicious Baikou's pan fried is." Besides Mengmei, several other girls in the new kitchen leaned over and shared the remaining pan fried together. .

"Okay, okay, don't stand around stupidly, the yard of the third-class cook has been vacated, you hurry up, go back and pack your things and change rooms, and you will make afternoon snacks for the masters soon."

Wen Gushan clapped his hands, yelled loudly, and drove away all the noisy subordinates.

The third-class cooks dispersed in a rush, and the ten newcomers ran back to the small courtyard where they lived yesterday, packed up their simple personal belongings, and went to the small courtyard of the third-class cook with thin pillows and quilts in their arms.

There are still three rows of bungalows in this courtyard, a total of nine rooms, but there is a tea room that can heat hot water and a bathroom for bathing, and the bungalows are all small open rooms, with doors and windows, simple and practical furniture, single room , Wooden frame bed, no need for several people to squeeze through the bed.

Lu Doudou was carrying the belongings of the two of them. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, after seeing the pattern clearly, she went straight to the sunny north bungalow. Leave it to Bai Kou, she sleeps in the room on the right.

Everyone sees that for the sake of Bai Kou's selection as the third young master's chef, no matter how much he wants Beiwu, it's hard to put down his face and really compete with Lu Doudou.

Lu Doudou hummed a ditty, walked in and out to tidy up the two rooms.

The newly promoted third-class cooks here are busy cleaning up the internal affairs, and in the inner house over there, Bai Kou finally walked into the Wenling Courtyard where only the heir to the title can live.

Gu Yun led the people around to the main entrance of Wenling Courtyard. Actually, according to the layout, it belongs to the Dongkua Courtyard attached to the Middle Road Main Courtyard where the Grand Master lives, and it is the courtyard closest to the Second Gate. When you walk out, you can pass through the sedan chair. Babu Lane is convenient for the 15-year-old third young master to enter and exit the mansion through the side door. The road between the courtyard gate and the second gate is lined with flower gardens. Now this season is full of flowers.

The Wenling Courtyard has two front and back entrances, and each entrance has a square layout. The third young master lives in the main house that enters the last. The east wing is used as a warehouse to store seasonal and idle items, and the west wing only lives in Meilunmei. Huan, the two sisters, and the other girls and women all lived in the East and West Wings in the front.

The four of them entered the main room at the back, and when Gu Yun took the upper seat, Mei Huan lightly pulled Bai Kou's sleeve, motioning her to kowtow to the young master.

Bai Kou finished kowtowing honestly, and continued to kneel quietly. The young master didn't ask her to get up. If she moved around, she would definitely lose this good job.

Xiaoqian walked in with a tray, handed the tea to Meilun, looked at Bai Kou curiously, and quietly backed out.

Gu Yun took a sip of tea comfortably, then leaned over slightly, looking at Bai Kou who was kneeling below.

"Aren't you pretty good at talking, why are you dumb now?"

"The surprise came so suddenly that the servant girl didn't know what to say." Bai Kou lowered her eyes and did not meet Gu Yun's gaze.

"Don't get too carried away, it's the poor craftsmanship of those people that makes you look better."

"What the third young master teaches is that the servant girl dare not get carried away with complacency."

"Are you surprised to see me sitting behind the eldest lady yesterday?"

"Yes, the servant girl is sweating from shock. She has never thought about it. It is really unexpected, but after thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable."

"Oh? Have you come back?"

"The back door at the end of the lane leads to the main street outside the mansion. During the day, people come and go, and everyone can leave, but after the second watch, they can walk around freely. They are not afraid of being questioned by women at various doors, and they are not afraid of encountering patrolling guards. , who dared to have a full meal in the kitchen, is not an ordinary servant at all. No matter how decent the servant in front of the old man is, he should not return home through the back door of the kitchen at that time, but should go through the side door of the front yard or Babu Lane Entering and exiting through the side door. It’s just that the servant girl didn’t think deeply about it at the time, and was still immersed in the remarkable work efficiency.”

After listening to Bai Kou's explanation, the Meilunmeihuan sisters raised their eyebrows slightly in surprise, feeling that this little cook has some skills, so she should not be underestimated.

Gu Yun was happy to hear that, and felt that he had seen the right person, and he didn't find any idiot to come back to serve him.

"Okay, get up and talk."

"Thank you, Third Young Master."

"From today onwards, you will be my special chef. As long as I am in the mansion, you will serve my food, understand?"

"Understood, Third Young Master."

"But your deed of prostitution is in the hands of the eldest lady, so you don't belong to my courtyard. You are still the third-class cook in the East Kitchen. When I'm not in the mansion, you have to go back to work in the East Kitchen. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Third Young Master."

"Since you are actually doing two errands by yourself, I am not a master who will treat my servants badly. I will give you an extra two taels of silver from my account every month."

Hearing that there is money to take, Bai Kou finally showed his first smile since entering this room.

The third-class cook is only five hundred coins a month, but the professional chef gets two taels of silver. This way, she gets two to five hundred coins a month. This job is really good!
"You were glad to hear about the money?"

"Third young master, those who can pay the money on time are good masters, bosses, and employers. It is only right and proper to get money for work."

"It makes sense, but this situation only belongs to hired workers, not to slaves like you."

"Young master, how much do you think the handmaid's craftsmanship is worth in restaurants and restaurants outside?"

Gu Yun ground his molars, and pointed at Bai Kou with a folding fan in his hand, "He's alive again, right? His mouth is sharp again."

Bai Kou smiled and said nothing.

Gu Yun didn't continue to entangle Bai Kou with this boring topic, he winked at Meihuan.
