delicious little cook

Chapter 256
When Qinglan brought tea in, she saw the young master and Guanshi Bai sitting on the Arhat couch on the left and right, the young master nestled on his cushion and read a book comfortably, while Guanshi was lying on the couch with his legs crossed and wrote something completely incomprehensible. s things.

After putting down the tea, Qinglan stood silently and waited quietly, watching Bai Kou writing non-stop, while the lazy young master only temporarily put down the book when he wanted to drink water.

None of the three spoke.

Bai Kou not only silently wrote down what she knew about the handicrafts of making paper soap by indigenous methods, but also wrote a letter to Sun Qing asking him to meet him in Xianbugou in the future. The kitchen was busy with supper, and a group of people waited for Gu Yun to rest step by step.

Early the next morning, everyone sent Gu Yun out, and Bai Kou handed the letter to the housekeeper who ran errands to deliver the letter, gave him a reward, and told him to get a reply, and then she went on a routine inspection.

Everything in the ice cellar is normal, the weather is cold, the masters basically don’t use the ice cellar anymore, they just sit around after finishing their work in the kitchen and warehouse every day, Bai Kou gave his staff a recipe for spicy hot soup base, and told them to cook in the ice cellar Prepare a pot in the hut of Mistress Shui, entertaining herself and warming up.

In the courtyard of the East Kitchen, the handymen were working, but they told Bai Kou that Guan Xiumei and the others had gone to find Zeng Zhu, and Bai Kou went to watch the fun.

Bai Kou directly pushed the courtyard door and went in. Through the thick cotton curtain, Bai Kou heard crying one after another inside. The four of them were all complaining to Zeng Zhu, fabricating Bai Kou's dark history, calling Zeng Zhu Wanwan Don't trust Bai Kou, who is docile and well-behaved on the surface, and ask Zeng Zhu to think more about the kindness of the second wife. Since she is sitting in this seat, she should hold the East Kitchen firmly in her hands, and not ask Bai Kou to get in the way.

After listening for a while, Bai Kou found that the four of them still used their usual tricks. The four of them took turns talking non-stop, not giving each other a chance to speak, accusing and comforting at the same time, trying to arouse the guilt in Zeng Zhu's heart, and then firmly Standing on the side of the second lady without hesitation, stumbling Bai Kou.

When Bai Kou was hesitating whether to lift the curtain and enter the room, or talk to Lu Doudou and the others first, Zeng Zhu finally spoke.

"That's enough, shut up, I don't want to hear you gossip in front of me."

"Master Zeng, what do we call gossip! Let me tell you, we are telling the truth. We have eaten at the same table and slept with Bai Kou for so many years, and we know her better than you!"

"Based on the culinary skills of the few of you, I believe in Bai Kou even more. All the newcomers here come in with the highest social status, and Bai Kou is the only one among them. You say she is not good, but you are lucky. where?"

Zeng Zhu's words were really harsh and hot, which made Guan Xiumei and the others turn pale and blue, and their hearts ached.

"You are from a workshop, so you naturally know that there is fierce competition among apprentices. Everyone has a ranking, and different rankings represent the level of worth. Even if you say that you are breaking the sky, Bai Kou is still the highest level and the most expensive. Gongfu, you are her closest teachers and sisters, how much do you rank? How much are you worth?"

Zeng Zhu continued to be aggressive.

"You are not as strong as others, and you don't want to make progress. Instead, you think about how to attack and smear others every day. You should understand that Bai Kou is the manager of the Zhongming Academy and the number two person in the inner house. She is really generous and doesn't care about you. Otherwise, if If you want to be serious with you, you don't even think about which side the masters will stand on, especially if you are still cheap goods that can't support the wall, don't make the second lady lose patience and sell you."

After what Zeng Zhu said, Guan Xiumei and the others couldn't stand anymore, and fell down on the cold ground in a daze.

Looking at Guan Xiumei who was already trembling, Deng Jinxiang was still a little unconvinced, she raised her head and gritted her teeth at Zeng Zhu.

"Master Zeng, I think you don't know Bai Kou's identity. Let me tell you, Bai Kou is an official servant. She is a trash in the mud. Why should she serve the son of the world and still sit firmly in the second place! She should sleep Pigsty, that’s where she stays! She eats at the same table as me and sleeps in the same room, I don’t think she’s lowly, it’s not bad, how can I bully her by asking her to do some work!”

Zeng Zhu froze for a moment, then laughed.

"They were all sold into the culinary art workshop as slaves and handmaids. Why are you more noble than Bai Kou?"

"I can redeem myself for good! Bai Kou is an official servant in this life, and will be an official servant in the next life, and will be an official servant for generations to come. How can I not be nobler than her?" Deng Jinxiang shouted with a sharp voice.

"Redemption for good? Okay, you go to redeem yourself now! Go and try!"

"I don't have money now, but I will have it in the future. I won't be a slave for the rest of my life!"

"So, you are a servant who will be a good servant one day. Which master dares to put you in the most important position? After you become a good servant, you will go far away and speak ill of your former master outside. Where can you find someone to settle accounts? It’s different. I know that I can’t get away, and I can only serve my master wholeheartedly. The master will also let his caring people know all his secrets, and he will handle errands with confidence. It’s like the son recently opened a workshop to do business. All of them are Bai Kou, riding a horse and walking casually in the street, this is the trust of the master. Do you have it? Do you have it?"

Zeng Zhu calmly stabbed the four foolish girls in the heart again, watching them pale and faint.

"Steward Zeng, you already knew that Bai Kou was an official maid?" Yang Cuiying, the youngest, couldn't bear this heavy blow that overturned her previous cognition, and asked in tears.

"The newcomers in the kitchen are handled by us managers in person. I keep their deeds, and I have naturally read them one by one. So, you are right, I knew that Bai Kou was a servant girl. I will tell you later If you tell me, the eldest lady must know about it. She is the wife of the family. The family background of every newcomer who comes in must first be reported to her, as well as the mother Pang next to her. Don't treat her as an old fool. She and the eldest Butler and accountant are in an equal position."

With such a truth like a bolt from the blue, the four of Guan Xiumei couldn't help crying on the ground any longer. Hearing the crying was really sad, full of the annoyance and remorse of the losers.

"You guys are inferior to Bai Kou from hair to toenails, and you actually have the nerve to come here and instigate me to turn against Bai Kou. For the sake of your ignorance and fearlessness, I will let you go. Next time, I will directly I dragged you to the Da Furen and sued you for the crime of sowing discord!"

The only answer to Zeng Zhu was non-stop crying.

When Bai Kou heard from outside, she felt that it was time to go in by herself, but instead of lifting the curtain directly, she went back to the courtyard and pretended that she had just come in.

"Master Zeng, are you in the house?"
