delicious little cook

Chapter 294
Gu Yun ate breakfast, changed into hunting clothes, and asked his brothers to go hunting in the mountains to taste game. Bai Kou sorted and packed the various rewards received in the past two days into Gu Yun's box, and then packed them up again. Tea set box, ready to meet Mrs. Gu, and today I have an appointment with the empress.

While working separately, someone from the Ministry of War suddenly came to look for Gu Yun and Bai Kou, asking about the rations.

Bai Kou knew that someone must have come to ask about dry rations, but she didn't expect that it was the Ministry of War who responded directly. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that she found the last bit of dry rations that were well packed in oil paper and bags from Gu Yun's box, and confessed note.

The official thanked and left, Gu Yun looked at Bai Kou, patted her head and muttered, "You are still quite valuable."

"No matter how high the value is, it's not worth killing the servant girl with great fanfare in front of everyone in the camp and the Holy One. The value of the servant girl can't reach this level."

Bai Kou smiled and pushed Gu Yun out of the tent, telling him to leave quickly, not to miss the hunting time, otherwise there would be no dry food for him to stay in the forest for another whole day.

After sending Gu Yun out, Bai Kou put away her smile and returned to the tent to tidy up the housework.

She is worthless now, but isn't she improving her value step by step?

That arrow yesterday was too weird, is it a warning?Is it murder?Or was it simply an arrow trial accident?It's hard to say now.

Bai Kou sorted out Gu Yun's internal affairs, and asked someone to get a car to take him to the camp of Duke Ye's mansion.

Mrs. Gu had already had breakfast and was dressing up. When she heard that Bai Kou was coming, she quickly called someone in and asked her how she was doing and if she could hold on. She would definitely have to sit in the queen's tent for an hour before she could come back.

The imperial doctor has diagnosed that Bai Kou has a good physique, and she has not been in the cold water for a long time, and she swam ashore by herself, and then soaked in ginger soup for a long time, Bai Kou even felt a lot lighter and a little tired nothing.

After thanking Madam for her concern, Bai Kou went outside and waited outside. When Madam finished dressing, she also waited for Queen Ye to send someone to announce.

At the turn of Chen Si, Empress Ye sent maids and eunuchs to pick up Mrs. Gu. The palace people were a little surprised when they saw the tea set box, and then they wondered what novel tools were inside.

After helping Mrs. Gu into the car, the tea sets and boxes were also put into the carriage. Bai Kou was still sitting on the shaft of the car. The driver set off, and soon entered the imperial camp, and arrived at Queen Ye's tent.

Same as the day before yesterday, taking advantage of the time of tidying up the clothes and passing the news, Bai Kou rewarded Queen Ye's palace servants, and then two palace servants helped her carry the box, and followed Mrs. Gu into the tent to greet the queen empress.

In the tent, apart from Mrs. Ye who had just sat down, there was also Ye Junting.

The tea table has been set up, next to the small fire pit, which is convenient for boiling water at any time, and at the same time allows people to see every movement of Bai Kou clearly.

Bai Kou asked for another small table and put it on the side of the tea table, then opened the box, took out the small table scale for weighing tea, and put all the tea cans on the table on the table, and arranged them as a special weighing table.

This small case scale attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was taken out. Ye Junting's eyes were even more rounded. She is good at cooking and she can naturally see the usefulness of this case scale. It is much more useful than a steelyard in the kitchen. .

"Madam Gu, is that also a scale?" Queen Ye asked with interest, "I've never seen it before."

"Ma'am, that's called a table scale. It's very convenient to weigh all kinds of ingredients, especially when making dim sum. It saves time compared to using a steelyard, and it also prevents the weight from hitting your feet." Mrs. Gu explained with a smile.

"Is this the new scale that is popular on the street now?"

"It's not popular, ma'am, it's custom-made, and it's only used in our Duke Ye's mansion. I don't know if there are any ministers in other families." Mrs. Gu pointed to Bai Kou.

"Bai Kou's idea?!" Let alone Queen Ye, Mrs. Ye and Ye Junting couldn't believe it.

"We have added a lot of new kitchen utensils in our mansion, and they are really convenient and quick to use. The little girls who don't know how to cook can be trained a few times, and they can cook in a decent way. The girls in Gu Yun's courtyard can cook a few times now. A dish." Mentioning this, Mrs. Gu looked smug.

Queen Ye was happy.

"I've heard that Gu Yun wants to marry old girls. Originally, such girls are good at female celebrity but not cooking. With this, they can get married at any time?"

"That's right, empress, the girls are all training in this direction. Bai Kou has been strict with them, so they have made rapid progress. After a few years, when they get married, they will be good housewives. "

"This is a great merit, really good." Queen Ye praised.

Ye Junting's young girl's heart was pounding, the girls were all going to let her marry her, no one would keep staring at the young master, Gu Yun's future young mistress should worry less.

In front of the tea table, Bai Kou was also ready. All kinds of tools were placed on the table. She also put on the three-piece kitchen suit. With the help of the maidservants, she washed her hands with paper soap. Cookies for milk tea.

Gu Yun doesn't like sweets. This cookie was made by Bai Kou for himself and Lu Doudou to enjoy. There are several flavors in each packet. At that time, it was just for his own convenience. The opportunity to make milk tea in front of the empress, naturally bring a few packs of tea.

The palace maids unpacked the tightly sealed oil-paper packets, divided the cookies into plates, and placed them on the coffee table in front of everyone, and then went to ask the empress to show which recipe they would like to try for the first pot of milk tea.

Queen Ye picked out one of the few pages at hand, and the palace maid took it and took it to the tea table, and held it in her hand for Bai Kou to read.

Bai Kou boiled a small pot of water first, took advantage of this time to weigh the tea leaves, crushed them with a small oatmeal, put them in a tea filter ball, and washed the tea before brewing after the water boiled.

Then sit the milk pot on the fire, boil the fresh milk that has been boiled in advance and let it cool down again, cook on a low heat until the edge of the pot bubbles, then remove the heat, pour in the still hot tea and stir gently, and finally put a filter spoon on the teapot , Pour the milk tea into the pot, divide it into four cups, and present it to the queen and guests by the maidservants, and add sugar and honey as you like.

The tea leaves that the queen carries with her are all of the fragrance type, and there is no single strong type. For the sake of taste, they can only be made into mixed tea leaves, but this shows their skills.

Empress Ye tasted it, and praised it repeatedly. The four nobles took a sip of tea and a biscuit, chatting and chatting about other interesting things, laughing again and again.

Bai Kou packed up the used tools and took them out to clean together with the palace maid. When she came back, she found out that the sage had just sent someone to deliver a can of strong-flavored tea leaves, so she used the tea leaves to make two teapots of milk tea. The queen sent someone to deliver a pot to the saint, and the maidservant who had delivered milk tea came back with baked snacks made by the imperial chefs, saying that they were for tea for the empress and ladies.

The queen decisively asked someone to send a new pack of biscuits made by Baikou to the past, and asked the saint to taste the new taste.

When the palace man came back, he brought a reward from the saint to Bai Kou.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty said that he lost. The Imperial Kitchen has never made biscuits with such a variety of flavors."

Queen Ye was overjoyed, and offered a reward, Bai Kou hurriedly wiped her hands, walked to the queen's seat, and thanked her.
