delicious little cook

Chapter 278

"Is the roasted mutton really going to be presented to the emperor?"

Bai Kou caught up with Gu Yun and nervously grabbed his clothes.

"There are also empresses, princes, concubines, and civil and military officials. Anyway, there will be many people eating."

Gu Yun tore off Bai Kou's hand and held it in his own, not caring about the oil she got from the barbecue earlier, the two turned into the path between the tents and entered his tent.

"Isn't this just a competition between the cooks? It's such a big game? Why didn't anyone tell the servant girl!"

"Didn't anyone tell you? Are you too busy and confused? You don't think about how many things you tell them every day, so how can you have the mood to recall the past with you?"

"You are not in a hurry! Didn't you say it earlier?!"

"Do you blame me?"

"No."

Bai Kou pursed her mouth, sat in front of the small fire pond, added a few pieces of charcoal to it, turned the fire back on, put on the kettle, poured the mountain spring water in the water bag, put the tea set aside, and went outside the tent again , washed his hands with the water in the bucket, and then came back to wait for Gu Yun to change his clothes.

Gu Yun changed his clothes, went to sit in front of the small firepit, watched Bai Kou boil the water and make tea, and put the teacup by his hand. There was the voice of a servant greeting.

Bai Kou smiled triumphantly, and called them to come in to wait on him, prepare hot water for Gu Yun to wash up, and go to bed early.

Gu Yun was rushed to bed early, and he had to get up before dawn to gather in front of the emperor's tent tomorrow. He couldn't let him make a mistake, and the guards who were on shift at night had to pay attention to the time, so that the young masters could get up early.

Yu Wen and his three brothers tasted the roast mutton, but those who came back later didn't eat a bite. They just heard from their subordinates that it was delicious, so they thought about asking Bai Kou to make it again someday.

At Yin time the next day, all the camps were brightly lit. Everyone got up, washed and dressed, and had a hasty breakfast. More than half of the young masters in this camp, Gu Yun, had to participate in the first day of hunting. Marked quest prey.

They all put on windproof and warm hunting clothes, and with empty hands, Bai Kou distributed a water bag and a small bag of dry food to each of them, and they felt like balls through the bags.

"Round? That's all?" The boys thought it was funny, and they grabbed the bag and played with it in their hands. "I can eat one in one bite."

"Okay, young masters, prick your ears up and listen carefully to the servant girl's precautions." Bai Kou kept her face as low as possible, showing her serious attitude.

"Okay, tell me." The boys looked at Bai Kou with a smile.

"This dry food is a special product. When eating, don't be greedy. Eat one first, and then drink water slowly. Don't eat dry food and drink water, remember."

"if not?"

"Otherwise I'll be gassy, ​​I don't know how long it will take." Bai Kou opened her eyes wide and put on an innocent and cute expression.

"Is this dry food really edible?!" Not to mention the young masters, even the servants beside him couldn't understand.

"Being full and enduring hunger, replenishing physical strength. Remember, dry food should be eaten one by one, first eat one dry food, slowly drink three or four sips of water, then sit and rest for a while, if you feel full, don't eat anymore Now, pack up your things and go to work."

"What if not?"

"If you don't, drink a few more sips of water. Don't eat two at a time. If it's your guards, they can eat like this. Their daily consumption is greater than yours, and their bodies can bear it. And you delicate and expensive young masters, the stomach Not that powerful."

The boys nodded at last, and tied their rations and waterskins around their waists.

"Get the bonfire and grill ready, we'll bring back our prey!"

Gong Changji waved his arms vigorously, causing everyone to laugh, and then the boys got on their horses and gathered in front of the imperial court.

Huang Bin, Yu Wen and others who did not participate in the hunting activities also accompanied them. When the hunting started, it was time for them, the rich and powerful children, to socialize and socialize.

Hunting is a one-person operation, and the guards can't follow along as helpers. At most, they can escort them to the gate of the Tianzi camp. The guards' mission this morning is over, and they can take turns to rest, walk around, eat and drink.

A huge bonfire was lit in the whole big camp, and the young people who participated in the solo hunting were all between fifteen and twenty years old. How well have you learned, and whether you have the potential to become a pillar of the country in the future.

Bai Kou watched the young masters set off, and the old god returned to the maid's tent on the ground, went to bed and slept again.

The young people who participated in the hunting gathered in front of the imperial tent on time before the fifth watch, and listened to the officials of the Ministry of War to announce the competition rules to them. Each person had a list of tasks, on which were the designated animals to be caught, male or female, and the number was not limited. There is a limit, you must return to the imperial court before dark, and the one who comes back the earliest and has the most prey is the final winner.

Then, several soldiers came out to distribute weapons, daggers, waist knives and dagger ropes, everyone was the same, and asked them to draw three full bows on the spot, and those who could not draw the bows were eliminated on the spot.

After everything was ready, the saint gave an order, and the young people saluted together. After the salute, they walked out of the camp gate and entered the mountain forest.

Bai Kou went back to the cage and slept until dawn. After freshening up, he ordered the handymen in the house to set up the car and deliver the side dishes designated by the Duke of the country. Walking around with each other, trying all kinds of delicacies, don't let the guests arrive without something to entertain them.

The handymen packed up their cars and took their things away. Bai Kou stayed in the kitchen to make spicy soup, and threw in a lot of cooking-resistant ingredients to simmer slowly, like all kinds of soy products. It was delicious. After the soup pot boiled again, she cooked a bowl of noodles in the soup and sweated profusely.

Wipe your mouth, cool is just one word.

Called Meiwen to come in to clean up the table and wash the dishes, Bai Kou threw herself on the table, took out the notepad and started to write and draw again, write down the account book clearly, besides what she consumed every day, she also counted how much she sent out , It's easy to settle accounts when I go back.

The handymen came back with the deliveries, and called Bai Kou to hurry over. The Duke of the country did not come back at noon after going out to entertain, but the wife wanted to entertain the female relatives for dinner, and asked her to be the chef.

Then Bai Kou called Lu Doudou and the others, and recruited two male cooks and a few handymen from Huang Dahai's subordinates, took her cooking toolbox, and drove to the camp of Lord Ye's mansion by car.

After entering the kitchen, they started to work. Zeng Zhu and his staff had already washed the dishes. Bai Kou came, took a look, wrote down the menu and showed it to his wife, discussed for a while and chose the dishes, and Bai Kou returned to the kitchen. Start assigning tasks to everyone.

The second room and the third room are far away in their respective positions. The relatives of the two wives' natal families still have to come and walk around the Duke Ye's mansion. They are all in a big circle. Now it seems that they are relatives of brothers and daughters-in-law's family. Who knows Whether they will become close relatives one day is uncertain.

Today at noon, the second wife's natal brother, Tong Mingli, her mother and cousins ​​will be entertained.
