delicious little cook

Chapter 285 Bai Kou is the Bai Family

Mrs. Gu had just finished her ceremony when Eunuch Xi, who was beside the saint, gestured to the corner, and immediately two maids carrying trays came out and stood in front of Bai Kou to show her.

One tray is two packages of sealed official silver and women's gold ornaments, and the other tray is six squares of high-grade silk and six square handkerchiefs.

Bai Kou knelt down again to give thanks. The sage, who had always let the queen speak, finally opened his mouth and said a few words of encouragement. The whole reward was finally over. Those cooks who took consolation prizes, their rewards would be sent directly to In the hands of their masters, only the chef with the first prize is eligible to receive the reward in front of the emperor.

The two maids sent Bai Kou out with things in their hands. Gu Yun and his buddies were still standing where they were, and Lu Doudou and the other three girls were also there. Wrapping it in a handkerchief to help Bai Kou carry it back to the tent, the palace chief Ji used the tray to cover it, and quickly handed out a piece of silver to each of the maidservants.

The palace maids accepted it calmly, and bowed to the young masters to leave.

"How is it? What did you say in it? This is not just tea time." A group of people surrounded Bai Kou and asked impatiently.

"The Empress wants Madam to take the servant girl over there in the afternoon, that's exactly what she said."

"Is the empress summoned in the afternoon? Then go back to the small camp, hurry up and eat something, and take a good nap."

Not daring to waste time, everyone rushed back to the small camp.

Huang Dahai has been waiting for the young masters to come back for lunch, but Bai Kou couldn't wait for them to cook. After cooking a bowl of instant noodles and eating them in a hurry, he went back to the maid's tent to sleep. As for the reward she just got, the servants Next, put the tent directly sent to Gu Yun in the box.

Bai Kou was really exhausted this morning, and fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Fortunately, the girls from other families hurried to serve their young masters, and no one stayed in the tent to disturb Bai Kou's sleep.

The sage moved back to the camp after distributing the rewards, and the civil and military officials and their family members disbanded on the spot and went back to rest. When Bai Kou had already gone to bed, Duke Ye and his wife had just returned to the tent.

The couple withdrew their screens, and the servants were talking, when they heard the girl outside reporting that the sons were back.

Gu Yun sent his younger brother back to his parents, just in time to listen to the whole process of receiving the reward earlier, and discuss what to bring to see the empress in the afternoon.

The last sentence of the empress made it clear that Bai Kou's talent is not limited to cooking skills. There are too many people bragging for her in the past few days. I am afraid that Gu Yun has heard about Gu Yun's pancreas workshop, so he just brought a few boxes of paper soap to make a small one. Gift.

The family discussed it properly, and the kitchen prepared meals again. The family of four ate at the same table. Take the time to take a nap and go to see the empress in the afternoon. You must not be listless.

Bai Kou took a short sleep, washed up and changed into clean clothes, found the gold ornaments given by the queen in Gu Yun's tent, picked two pearl hairpins and put them in the bun, and took a new handkerchief , and then the boy tied up the car and sent her to the master to meet his wife first.

The Duke and Madam are still taking a nap at the moment, they know when is the right time to meet the Queen, Bai Kou is not easy to disturb, originally wanted to wait in the small tent specially designed for receiving guests, but was lured away Sixth Young Master Gu Chen's tent, where the eldest son is resting.

Beside the small firepit near the door, Gu Yun was warming up by the fire while holding a teacup in a daze, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind, looked up and saw Bai Kou coming in, he made a silent gesture, Bai Kou nodded knowingly, and walked to the firepit Reach for the fire.

Gu Chen's maid took a peek from behind the screen, seeing that it was Bai Kou, she didn't make a sound, she retreated and continued to watch the young master take a nap.

The two were separated by the small firepit, one was sitting and the other was standing, neither of them spoke.

Today, in front of the emperor and all civil and military officials, Bai Kou's identity has been revealed. Smarter people should think of Bai Yehong, the former head chef, especially the fine food cleaning department of the Ministry of Rites. This is the yamen in charge of banquets. The closest, maybe someone has discovered the relationship between Bai Kou and the Bai family from her appearance.

From the moment he decided to bring Bai Kou to participate in the winter hunting, it was doomed to have such a result.

What's more, there is no reason not to take her out, the steward next to Shizi, the best cook in Duke Ye's mansion, no matter how you look at it, who else can you take without her.

The curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside again, a girl came in and softly asked Gu Yun to go out to meet guests, and his brothers came to look for him.

So Gu Yun and Bai Kou went out together, and in the reception tent, they saw him, Gu Xu, Gu Jing, a group of cousins ​​and good buddies, and a group of people filled the small tent.

"Huh? So many people? Are they all here to congratulate me on winning the first prize?" Gu Yun joked when he saw so many people at first glance.

"Who congratulates you!" He Jiali waved his hand, "It's spread all over this afternoon, Bai Kou is from the royal chef Bai's family."

Gu Yun's gaze immediately found Huang Bin in the crowd, and he gave him a glare.

Huang Bin cried out for injustice with a bitter face, "I didn't say it!"

"Masters, the signboard of Yu Chubai has long been removed." Bai Kou interjected lightly while standing behind Gu Yun.

Seeing that Bai Kou admitted it so generously, the boys who thought they would spend more time talking didn't know what to say for a while, and all the prepared drafts were discarded.

"He's really from the Bai family!"

"Can there be any fake status for the servants?" Gu Yun glared at the brothers.

The palace chief continued to look at Bai Kou, and suddenly said: "Fortunately, Bai Kou is capable, so capable that people only remember her ability and forget her background."

All the young masters of the rich and powerful were present, how could they not understand the hint in the words of the palace chief.

The relationship between Duke Ye's Gu family and the royal chef's Bai family is no secret.

The ancestors of these two families were in the same army when Taizu raised the army, one led the battle at the front, and the other cooked food at the back.

After the royal chef Bai's family lost power, the only girl who was confiscated as an official servant was transferred to the Duke of Ye's mansion as a cook. Even these young people had to lament that the world was unpredictable.

And Bai Kou's shrewdness and ability gave the Duke of Ye an excellent reason to reuse her, so that people could not maliciously attack them for covering up and hiding sin slaves with the friendship of robes. Now who doesn't know that Bai Kou is a member of the royal chef Bai's family, She was upright and aboveboard, and she didn't hide anything. Today's roasted whole lamb won the first prize, which did not disgrace the glory of her family.

The sources of official slaves are either prisoners of war or family members of criminals, especially family members of criminal officials. Most of them are destined to be sent to the Jiaofang Division as singing, dancing, geisha and handymen. Bai Kou was actually sent to the cooking workshop to be traded by others , no matter who made the decision, this is to save her life, otherwise, the seven or eight-year-old girl is the age for the teacher to train skills, and she will inevitably be bought by the rich and powerful to entertain guests at home in the future. It was sold by the owner's family for three years, and it is unknown where he died in the end.

In contrast, Bai Kou's current situation is really the best result she can get as a slave.
