delicious little cook

Chapter 280
Bai Kou was still hesitating, and someone dressed as a cook came outside. Seeing so many people gathered at the gate of the camp, he was stunned for a moment, and when the people on his side asked each other's background, the person said that he was looking for Bai Kou .

"You too?!" The cook of Kuangshanhou Mansion looked as if he had found his companion.

"What? You too?"

"I'm from the Marquis of Kuangshan Mansion, and the young master of Yi Guogong's family despised us enough at noon today."

"I'm better than you. My wife and lady had a feast at Duke Ye's mansion, and she never forgets a dessert called "Three Non-sticky". She despises the desserts made by myself in the mansion. Do you think I'm wronged or not?"

Seeing the two cooks chatting and complaining about their hardships, everyone was speechless together, but they didn't interrupt, let them have a good talk.

The two of them were complaining about their grievances, when three more cooks came in a hurry on the small path outside. In such a cold day, their sleeves were rolled up to their elbows, and they looked like they were looking for someone to fight. They asked Bai Kou who was through the camp gate , called out to compete.

"Did you see? This kind of thing will be endless these days." Huang Dahai said in an experienced tone.

Bai Kou curled her lips feeling a little bored, and took a few steps forward.

"Everyone, I'm Bai Kou. You come to challenge me because you think highly of me, but my main duty is to serve my family's eldest son, so I don't accept any challenges. Please go back."

"Such a small child!?" The three cooks widened their eyes in disbelief, "Did you deceive us? Call a child out to bluff people!"

"How did you talk!"

"You didn't find out clearly yourself, what kind of fart are you running here!"

"This is Bai Kou, the cook of Duke Ye's mansion! Believe it or not!"

"Which family do you know how to be polite?"

"Go, go, don't embarrass your master here!"

"Bai Kou is the steward in front of our son, so it's your turn to yell in front of her?!"

Everyone in the camp shouted and cursed, cursing the three cooks who were in a hurry, and even the two male cooks who came first looked down on them.

"You all go back, it's getting dark, your master needs someone to wait on you, don't waste your time here." Bai Kou saw off the guests with a peaceful attitude, as the son's steward, he couldn't yell and scold like a shrew when he was angry , she has to be graceful.

"How can there be only your family of cooks in this small camp?" The youngest of the cooks couldn't help but retorted, she thought it was an intentional evasion.

"That's right, I'm the only cook in this small camp, so I don't have time to greet you, please go back."

After Bai Kou finished speaking, he turned around and left. He didn't bother with them and let others deal with them.

"How many young masters are there in your small camp, are you really serving the cooks? The cooks of those families are not willing to get a chance?" The three cooks refused to leave, and they were very angry.

"The young masters arrived in a group the day before yesterday. For dinner that night, we entertained many young masters who had nothing to eat. Those young masters didn't clean up the cooks who made trouble under them afterwards? Oh, it's really generous of the masters." All the people in the room pushed back in the same way.

The five chefs finally left feeling bored.

Bai Kou was preparing ingredients and cooking porridge in the kitchen. When the boys came back from the forest, they would have a bowl of hot porridge to warm their bodies.

In front of the imperial tent, the emperor, the empress, officials and attendants were all waiting for the first young man who came back to see if he returned empty-handed or with a full load.

The sky is getting dark gradually, the sun gets dark early in winter, and the lamps will be turned on before You hour. It is stipulated to come back before dark to do business, also considering that if someone has an accident, it is difficult to rescue in the mountains and forests at night.

After the time limit passed, young people came out of the forest one after another, more or less carrying a few prey in their hands, but none of them came back empty-handed, but at first glance, it was not a result that could win the final victory.

When Gu Yun came out of the mountain forest, he looked very embarrassed, his clothes were messy, and there were bloodstains on his body, as if he had fallen badly in the mountain forest. The prey was tied up with a rope and hung on his shoulders, and there was another litter of live in the net bag he prepared. The rabbit's carefully guarded chest was still bulging, and there was something alive inside that struggled from time to time.

He walked all the way like this and attracted the attention of many people. When he walked to the imperial tent, he was too tired to salute properly. Check the injury at the doctor.

Gu Yun did not complete the type of prey required on the task list. He only caught half of it. Considering he has just turned 15 years old, it is not a failure. He was not born as a hunter, so he is naturally inferior to those older companions in terms of physical strength and experience. , not to mention that he had another prey brought back.

There were a total of seven living rabbits in that litter, a pair of male and female adult rabbits and five cubs, especially the male rabbit, who was strong and strong, and many people said that this was an excellent breeding rabbit.

Because of everyone's words, this litter of rabbits escaped the fate of becoming food.

The weight on his body was gone, Gu Yun let out a long sigh of relief, and took out the little prey he had protected for a long time from his arms. It was a wounded young eagle with black feathers and red claws. One wing was broken, but it was still very fierce. , when the attendant reached out to pick it up, he was almost pecked by it, which made the holy majesty and the surrounding crowd burst into laughter.

After unloading his body of prey, Gu Yun finished his business with the sage, and briefly explained the origins of the rabbits and eagles. The sage praised him a few words, and allowed him to step back, with his attendants helping him to heal his wounds. The litter of rabbits and eaglets were also taken away. Go down and cook.

The imperial doctors checked and found that Gu Yun's injuries were not serious, they were all skin wounds, so they gave him wound medicine and sent a car to take him back to the camp.

The guards standing guard at the gate of the camp received Gu Yun and hurriedly sent him to the tent. The boys split up to carry the bath tub and hot water, and carefully waited for their young master to wash off his dirt before applying medicine.

When Bai Kou came in with the food box, Gu Yun was already lying down on the bed, and the servant who was taking care of the bed saw Bai Kou coming, so he left the rest of the work to her and left.

Gu Yun glanced at her lazily.

"Just came."

"The kitchen is busy."

Bai Kou gently placed the food box on the table beside the bed, laid out the porridge and side dishes, helped Gu Yun to sit up, and stuffed a cushion behind him.

"I heard that my son, you harvested a lot today. When you hunt rabbits, you just copy the whole nest, and you even picked up an eagle."

"I fell so badly just to pick up that hawk. The bones almost fell apart. When I picked it up, I found it was a red-clawed hawk. I couldn't hunt pigeons and mice."

"Then why did you bring it back and throw it in the woods to return to nature."

"I wouldn't bring it back if it wasn't because of its good spirits, but if this small bird of prey can be raised, it would be good as a toy."

"I heard that raising an eagle is quite expensive. It only eats fresh flesh and blood, and what it eats in the wild, it can only be fed artificially. It can't be fed anything else. That's called omnivorous feeding."

Bai Kou sat down by the bed, scooped a few spoonfuls of porridge into a small bowl, stirred it with a spoon so that it wouldn't be so hot, and then lightly spooned a small spoonful to feed Gu Yun.

Gu Yun swallowed the porridge and raised his eyebrows.

"Sounds like you understand quite well?"

"It's just a bit of hearsay. The servant girl has no practical experience. Apart from feeding, a good falconry will also cost a lot of money."

"You really hit my weakness with every sentence." Gu Yun pursed his lips and pointed at the small dish.

"If anyone wants that eagle these days, you can just give it away. You don't have time to take care of it yourself. Why don't you hire a special eagle breeder? The natural lifespan of an eagle is long, it can be 50 to [-] years old Woolen cloth."

"Okay, okay, I'll send it off."

Gu Yun made a decisive decision, he really didn't have the money to raise an eagle, so whoever wants it should take it.
