delicious little cook

Chapter 297
Bai Kou quickly organized her thoughts and wrote them down on paper for Gu Yun to read.

As long as the sage has a legitimate son, and the legitimate son is considered to be progressed and considered a talent for the prince, the courtiers will not split over the issue of heirs.

If the courtiers are stable, the court will be stable, and the whole country will be stable.

Ye Guogong's mansion and the empress's natal family are now in-laws, showing that their attitude is to support the orthodox direct line. If other princes want to seize the lineage, they must also compete for the support of their eighth prince, the 28th prince who founded the country.

Bai Kou believes that Concubine Zhao Xian is the person who poses the greatest threat to Empress Ye. Miss Qi, the granddaughter of Concubine Zhao Xian, goes out to ask Gu Yun for an eagle, so that the relationship between the two parties can be easily established. Concubine Zhao Xian would definitely like Gu Yun to be her grandson-in-law for some children's affair, and with the power of marriage, she would tie Gu Yun to her chariot of interests.

Maybe Ms. Qi was just a stepping stone to test the attitude of Duke Ye's government.

After reading the pile of words written by Bai Kou eloquently, Gu Yun's face turned dark, and he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the firepit, watching helplessly as it was burned to ashes and mixed with ashes.

"Don't talk about this kind of thing anymore, if you want to talk about it, wait until you get home."

"But what if someone comes to visit after returning home?"

"Come uninvited? If she dares to do that, her reputation will be ruined."

"How old is this lady? Is she pretty?"

"14 years old, very beautiful."

"Oh~~~Little beauty~~~~"

"You don't want to look like a pervert, can you? Go and go, go back to the kitchen and work, now is not the time to talk about business."

Bai Kou chuckled, took the things and left, leaving Gu Yun alone to continue to be irritable.

In the evening, the smell of venison wafted through the kitchen, and everyone had a rare taste of the venison broth. The cauldron of the soup was as clean as if it had been licked.

On the next day, the fifth day of Winter Hunting, Bai Kou served Gu Yun for breakfast early in the morning, and was busy helping him pack his luggage, sealing and pasting all the unused things. The empty reed boxes in the kitchen warehouse were now It becomes a ready-made packing box, and those dirty clothes that are changed and washed are thrown directly into the box and taken home for washing. Only intimate clothes are changed and washed at any time, and then dried directly by the firepit.

Gu Yun sat idly by the side and watched Bai Kou's busy work walking around, and heard the young servant reporting something outside the tent.

"Master, Master Wei Qian from Qiguo's family sent someone to invite you and the masters to eat barbecue together."

"Please."

The curtain of the tent moved slightly, and a very energetic young man walked into the tent, and bowed his hands to Gu Yun.

"The villain has met the son, please greet the son."

"Your Master Wei Qian is too polite. He just sent a piece of venison yesterday, and today he invited us to eat barbecue. We are really embarrassed."

"Our young master Qian likes to invite people to eat and drink. Besides, our young master said that we would like to thank you for the dry food that day. It was originally agreed to pay according to the price, but if you don't accept it, then we can only treat you to a few meals. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed, and ask Gu Shizi and the masters to show their respect."

"Okay, no problem, what time?"

"At noon today, at the camp of the Ministry of Rites, there are ovens."

"The relationship between Jingshan and the imperial kitchen is so close that you can wear a pair of trousers. Is it the chef of the imperial kitchen?"

"The holy driver is here, how dare we work as an imperial cook, it's just a group of delicious young people who got some ingredients from Zhuangzi, and do it ourselves, and have fun."

"It's over, Wei Qian will definitely be able to feed himself, but those of us can only eat."

"Actually, our Young Master Qian's cooking skills are not very good. This time, we will borrow the oven from Jingshan Division's camp. The main reason is that we want to borrow someone from Gu Shizi."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, the focus of this mess is Bai Kou." As long as it has something to do with cooking, you don't need to think about who it is.

The young man smiled, turned half-turned and bowed politely to Bai Kou who was standing beside the screen.

"I heard that Manager Bai Kou will use the whole meat to make barbecue, and it is guaranteed to be fully cooked. The color and luster will be the same when cut, and the matching sauces will also have different tastes."

"Well, this kind of barbecue has indeed been done several times." Bai Kou nodded with a smile.

"However, this way of eating barbecue meat has been introduced by overseas businessmen in the past one or two years. After marinating, it is thrown into the oven directly. It is fine if the surface is burnt. In fact, the inside is still bleeding when cut."

Gu Yun's face froze, "Could it be that we are invited to eat this half-baked barbecue at noon?"

"If Gu Shizi is willing to take Steward Bai Kou to show his skills, he will naturally not have to eat this kind of half-cooked barbecue at noon."

"Wei Qian is trying to steal art."

"Don't dare, it's just that this traditional method is a pity for an original good dish. Looking at the bloodshot meat, I lost my appetite at all."

"Dare you set up a ring and wait for Bai Kou to come on stage?"

"Gu Shizi, why don't you think it's because Ye Guogong is also an official of the Ministry of Rites? Although he is the Department of Rituals, he is also a colleague in the Ministry."

"That's all right, all right, why don't we just have a barbecue, Bai Kou, let them know what's delicious."

"Your Majesty, the people in the Fine Food Department are gluttons who have tasted all kinds of delicacies in the world, and their mouths are extremely tricky. Don't show your servant's cooking skills in front of them."

"A group of gluttons know how to eat but can't cook. They are fooled by the barbecue brought in by overseas businessmen but don't know how to improve it. You go teach them."

"There is nothing to teach, it's just that the meat is not steamed before the barbecue. The traditional custom of the people is to eat this half-cooked meat, but it is not suitable for the stomach of the local people."

"It's that simple?" Gu Yun pointed at Bai Kou, and looked at Wei Qian's people, "I've taught you the method, steam the meat before roasting it, and roast it after it's cooked."

"Gu Shizi, have you seen it? It only takes such a simple step to get a fully cooked barbecue, but this dish has never been made by the imperial kitchen before."

"Are you sowing discord?" Gu Yun half-closed his eyes, and Bai Kou also admired the young man's boldness.

"Doesn't Gu Shizi want to take steward Bai Kou to slap the royal kitchen in the face? He is so lazy that there was one more dish on the menu of the palace banquet, so he just ignored it."

"If you say it like this, it's okay if you don't go."

"My lord, can the maidservant speak a word?"

"Okay, what are you going to say?"

"I don't know if there are any ingredients that the maidservant needs to use over there. Let the maidservant write a list."

Gu Yun and the young man immediately fell silent. The two people who don't know how to cook are so lively talking about it. If there are no necessary ingredients over there, this barbecue will still be impossible to eat.

Bai Kou quickly ran back to her bed to get her satchel, and wrote down the list of ingredients in front of the young man. The man hurried back to the camp of the Jingbei Division as soon as possible. If he could gather all the ingredients, he could look forward to the barbecue at noon.
