delicious little cook

Chapter 279 Here comes the door-to-door challenge

Everyone in the kitchen was so busy that their feet didn't touch the floor. The wife's maid Jin Gan ran in and said that Miss Tong Mingli wanted to visit the kitchen and asked Yun if she would allow it.

Bai Kou naturally refused.

"Not allowed! The kitchen is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter! I have never heard that the kitchen is a public place that can be visited!"

"Just reject it so directly? Can't you be more tactful?"

"If it's not like this, let's say there are outsiders in the kitchen. In case the wife and the guests eat hair in the food during lunch, it's not easy to divide the responsibilities. You know that I have a cleanliness in the kitchen." This excuse Bai Kou said It doesn't bother you to come out.

"Okay!" Jin Gan turned around and left without coming back. He must have accepted the reason for the rejection earlier.

Tong Mingli knew that the request she made was a bit abrupt. As a girl who loves to cook and her level is not bad, she really wanted to have a conversation with Bai Kou, but she had to let it go and think about finding another chance next time. .

Winter hunting is an opportunity for unmarried men and women to meet and communicate with each other. Tong Mingli is already at the age of [-], so she is naturally concerned about how her parents will arrange her marriage, but she wants to meet Gu Yun more and fulfill one of her own wishes.

This year's autumn top ranking ranked third, ending the dream of scholars in Qinggui circles who wanted to occupy the top five for a long time. In their eyes, these aristocratic families who followed the Taizu to conquer the world and gained meritorious service had more than military strength, mediocre brains, There are no good reading seeds.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yun appeared this year.

Considering that before the death of their old Duke, the eldest young master Gu Xu had already won two honors as a scholar and a scholar within a year in the name of a genius, and now their Gu family actually has three jurens.

Still unmarried.

According to the gossip overheard from their parents, it seems that their second and third masters Gu Er and Gu San took office so soon. The Duke is also an in-law, so naturally as long as the children are upbeat, good things will continue to flow.

How many families stared at the third son of the Gu family shrouded in divine grace.

Gu Yun is the most sought-after one.

Who doesn't know that among the three lords in Duke Ye's mansion, only the Duke's room is quiet in the backyard, and the four children are all descended from the first line, the family is harmonious and beautiful, whoever marrying a daughter is not the first choice for such a happy family.

Tong Mingli sighed softly in her heart.

She thought too.

At noon, the kitchen was full of dishes, and the guests and the host had a good time, and they left after the meal.

Bai Kou and the others finished their lunch in the kitchen, and then returned to the small camp for a lunch break, waiting for the young masters to come back from hunting.

While sleeping soundly, someone came to fight in the ring and asked Bai Kou to fight by name.

The men who stayed behind in the camp gathered together to ask what happened. How could they come to find a 13-year-old girl to declare war.

"You think I'm willing to come!?" The cook was also full of grievances and injustices, his face flushed.

"Don't come if you don't want to, we didn't kidnap you here." The crowd directly spoke back.

The cook's face suddenly turned a liver-colored, purplish red, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't speak.

"What's the trouble? Take a good nap and wake me up again!"

Behind the noisy crowd, Bai Kou was a little irritable because his sleep was disturbed, and his voice was a little louder, even the cook standing in front could hear it.

The crowd immediately dispersed to the left and right. Bai Kou rubbed her eyes and was still yawning.

"You are the Bai Kou whom our young master praised all afternoon?! Really such a young child?!" The cook felt that he had received the worst injury in his life.

"Your cousin? Which one?"

"Young Master Huang Bin from the Duke of Yi's family! I am the cook of the Marquis of Kuangshan."

"Marquis Kuangshan? Master Bin's mother seems to be named Lu?"

"It's that Lu family."

"Oh, disrespect, disrespect. What's your business?"

"Invitation to battle!"

"Don't do it!"

"Are you afraid of losing?"

"Aggression is useless to me. Even if I admit that I am afraid of losing, no one will laugh at me, only you. Uncle."

"If you don't agree, I will have no place in the mansion!"

"As a steward next to Shizi, I have no obligation to agree to every opponent who comes to invite me to fight!"

"Don't talk too much, little girl! Who knows if it's Master Huang Bin who's boasting!"

"Mrs. Yi Guogong, your aunt, has eaten my handicrafts, ask her."

"With Master Huang Bin here, my aunt will naturally talk to you."

"Why don't you ask King Yan what he thinks of my craftsmanship?"

The cook suddenly became dumb and dragged the prince into it, and his confidence was not so strong.

"Since you are so good, why don't you take part in the public competition and let everyone see your cooking skills!?"

"Because I don't like it, I might as well use it to sleep when I have that performance time."

"You are not happy about the public competition in front of the imperial court?!" Not to mention the cook of the Lu family, everyone in the family was surprised.

"Why should I be happy?"

"This is a great opportunity to become famous in front of the imperial court. Not only the saints will be rewarded, but the masters will also be rewarded when they return home. After all, you are just a child and don't know the importance of money." The chef of the Lu family said earnestly.

Of course, Bai Kou knew the importance of money, but she was only showing off her culinary skills in front of the imperial court. She was not yet mentally prepared. If she was asked about her family background, she wondered if the name Bai Yehong could be publicly mentioned now.

Bai Kou didn't know how big a mistake this hereditary family of royal chefs made, so it was difficult for outsiders to check their household registration.

Huang Dahai suddenly pulled Bai Kou's sleeve lightly, and the two turned their backs to talk.

"Now the nobles who have tasted your craftsmanship are bragging for you outside. There will only be more and more people who come to invite you to fight. Why don't you just show it in front of the imperial court and make those idlers stop thinking about it?"

"If I want to stop them from thinking about it, I must at least get a good ranking. How can I have the confidence? Those who participated in the competition are veteran chefs with decades of experience. How can I compare with them?!"

"Is it better than roasted whole lamb? Your roasted lamb yesterday was really delicious."

"The prince also said this yesterday, did you collude with him?!"

"No! Absolutely not!" Huang Dahai coughed lightly, "Why don't you think it's for the sake of money?"

"How much is it?"

"The Tian family's rewards have always been generous. As long as you participate, even if you are the last one, there will be a consoling reward."

Bai Kou clicked his tongue twice and smacked his lips.

"No, I have concerns about this matter, I have to think about it again."

"If you shouldn't come down, the cook doesn't look like he intends to leave."

"Hey, how annoying!"

"You should, you should, anyway, there is no loss, and you can send people away. Otherwise, we will come to pester you every day, and so many of us will have to worry about it."

Huang Dahai encouraged him very hard, thinking of the rewards that the young masters of the He family and Yu family gave him during the barbecue last night. buried.

Since the reward was given by the young masters of the He family and the Yu family, it was not in collusion with the prince.
