delicious little cook

Chapter 283 Famous Incidental Results

Take out the plates from the boiling water pot one by one, wipe off the water with a clean and dry gauze, and Bai Kou holds a small knife in his hand and begins to skillfully cut the meat.

The outermost layer of meat with the skin is the most delicious. Bai Kou moved very quickly, and the fragrant meat slices piled up on the plate in her hand. Peel it clean, and then continue to hang it on the fire to roast, waiting for the second round.

The handyman took out a food tong from another pot of boiling water, wiped off the water, and handed it to Bai Kou, who then divided the meat into several plates, and brought it to the imperial court for the sage and noble officials to taste. Everyone can only eat from the second round.

Tasting in front of the imperial court is just a tasting, and the members of the Tian family and the officials do not express their opinions. The real decision of which roasted whole lamb wins is to see who has the most people eating in front of the shed.

Judging from the current situation, Bai Kou's advantage is overwhelming. There are more and more people queuing up, and they are almost reaching the front of the imperial court. However, when it's time to serve the roasted whole lamb in another shed, there are not many of them. There was no queue in front of the shed, and even the queue in front of the shed of a well-known chef was much shorter than in previous years.

The sage laughed out loud in a good mood, picked up his chopsticks and asked his courtiers to taste it together.

Even the meat on the skin is crispy, not only not scorched, but even a little bit of juice. I don’t know how to lock the water in the skin. Not many arrived, and the chopsticks were gone, so I didn't enjoy eating.

The sage wiped his mouth, took a sip of tea, and summoned Lord Ye and his wife to talk before the imperial court, asking where they got a good cook.

The Duke's wife reported the truth.

I heard that it was only bought from the culinary art workshop in Yachifang. Everyone here was surprised. They knew the level of the culinary art workshop in Yachifang. After all, most of the cooks in these noble mansions were from The ones bought there and trained are all apprentices, and it will take several years of polishing to grow into a qualified cook.

And judging from the taste of the mutton, this young girl is already a skilled cook, she is simply amazingly talented.

The sage praised a few words, and the attendants lined up again to serve the roast mutton from another family. Duke Ye and his wife stepped back and returned to their original positions to continue tasting the food.

The chief eunuch who was in charge had already walked from the end of the line to the head of the line, seeing many boys and girls talking together in twos and threes, which made the whole line chaotic.

This is a rare opportunity for unmarried men and women to get close to each other. Men and women who are the best candidates for marriage like Gu Yun are surrounded by the most people. Even girls with a submissive temperament can hardly hide their proud expressions.

The eunuch walked to the front of the shed with a smile on his face. Bai Kou just retreated under the shed to take a rest. She peeled off the first round of flesh, and the rest of the meat had to be roasted. She didn't need to stare nervously. It doesn't matter if others take care of it.

Gu Yun and his buddies were also waiting for meat here. Many girls nearby looked at them, but they didn't dare to come over. They only dared to whisper while watching, their faces flushed red.

The boys saw a eunuch approaching, but before seeing his face clearly, they first saw patterns embroidered on the shoulders and collar of his round-necked robe, and immediately realized that it was the chief eunuch next to the emperor, and quickly saluted and greeted him , and then called Bai Kou to go to the shed to talk together, and the others all avoided for the time being.

"Bai Kou, this is the sage's close servant, Eunuch Xi."

Bai Kou hastily took off her mask and bowed her head to salute, "My servant Bai Kou pays respects to Mr. Xi."

Eunuch Xi was just about to boast a few words politely, when he saw Bai Kou Libi raised his head, he was a little stunned when he saw her appearance for the first time.

"The little girl has a bit of a good face." Xi Gonggong said unclearly, his eyes turned to Gu Yun, and Bai Kou's appearance stirred up some memories in him.

Gu Yun was calm and composed, smiled slightly, and bowed his hands.

"My family bought a total of 24 most expensive apprentices from several culinary workshops this year. Bai Kou is the only one who performed the best. Now he is my steward, taking care of all the general affairs for me. I am very relieved to use it. In the future, he will be kept as the first steward of the inner house."

"Yo ho, it's worth the money. For the price of an apprentice, I bought a big manager." Eunuch Xi smiled, and turned his gaze back to Bai Kou, "What's the little girl's last name?"

"The surname is Bai."

"Oh? It's really a good surname. The Sa family thought it was Bai Kou."

"My surname is Bai, and my first name is Kou." Gu Yun smiled and cupped his hands.

"I heard that Gu Shizi is planning to release the old girl around her to marry her recently. This is a good thing for good deeds, but Bai Kou is such a capable girl who is used to her hands. Will she be willing to let her go in the future?"

"If she is the one who can be released, she might be released one day. Fortunately, she is the one who cannot be released. I don't have to worry about it, just use it with peace of mind."

As Eunuch Xi is the chief eunuch in the palace, he understood Gu Yun's words as soon as he heard it, and Bai Kou was an official servant, and after carefully sizing her up, he finally came to his mind.

"Hehe, okay, what a little girl, this culinary skill level is good, the talent is amazing, don't slack off, and always remember that there are people who can replace you."

"Thank you, Eunuch Xi, for the lesson. The servant girl dare not slack off. She must practice her cooking skills diligently and improve herself." Bai Kou lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, docile and well-behaved.

Eunuch Xi smiled kindly, exchanged farewells with Gu Yun, and returned to the throne to return.

The two stood in place respectfully, watching Eunuch Xi disappear into the crowd, Bai Kou quickly turned his head to look at Gu Yun, he had already looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, pretending to be innocent.

Now is not the time to go on a errand, Bai Kou put on a mask and went out to take care of the barbecue, Gu Yun whistled and returned to his buddies, everything seemed normal.

Bai Kou checked the quality of the meat and felt that it was almost ready, then looked at Gu Yun who was standing aside waiting for the meat to be eaten, an idea immediately came to her mind, and she walked over with a smile.

Seeing Bai Kou walking towards him with squinting eyes, Gu Yun had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, he pretended to stand there calmly, watched Bai Kou take off his mask, and smiled cutely.

"My lord, shall we discuss it?"

"What are you going to do?"

Bai Kou looked around, his gaze swept over the faces of Gu Yun and his group of boys, smiling cutely, the boys tensed their backs together for no reason.

"The servant girl wants to get a better reward, not a consolation prize."

Huang Bin pointed to the team that could not be counted on, "You will definitely win the first prize."

"That's not necessarily the case. The old chefs haven't exerted their strength yet. The servant girl has to take the lead and can't be overtaken by them."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Please wash your hands and help divide the meat and pack it?"

"You actually ordered me to work?"

"Such a rare good opportunity to meet the girl face to face, the prince is not interested? You don't want Liugen to become a monk quietly, do you?"

Gu Yun was choked by Bai Kou's words and before he could reply, the buddies beside him had already rolled up their sleeves.

"Where do you wash your hands? We'll help you and make sure they all say your barbecue is delicious!"
