Chapter 32 There Are Secret Gossips in the Mansion

Taking advantage of the darkness, Bai Kou ran all the way to the East Kitchen, and she only took two steps when passing through a door, so as not to be scolded by the women guarding the door for not being ignorant of the rules. You have to check the brand once.

But in the past half a day, Bai Kou's name has spread. The women all know that there is a chef named Bai Kou next to the third young master, so they give her a good face and don't care about her coming and going.

In the east kitchen, it was still being cleaned at this time, and only the handymen were working in the compound. Bai Kou waved to them to say hello, then rushed into the kitchen of the red case, and picked a small round pumpkin from the food rack. , and then ran away in a hurry.

The handymen were dumbfounded and talked one after another.

"It's really hard work for the third young master. How many times do you have to go back and forth every day?"

"I heard that she has to work on both sides. When the third young master is not at home, she has to work in the east kitchen."

"That thin body can bear it?"

"Why don't those people wait to see her laugh?"

"Tch, then I hope this girl can continue to work hard, and strive to be transferred to Wenling Academy and don't come back."

"Yo? Are you so optimistic about her?"

"Wenlingyuan is the place where the descendants live. Those who work there have to talk like iron gourds filled with lead. These apprentices have been here for three months. Have you ever seen that girl break her mouth? Bully her To be honest, she didn't complain when she was given the job, right?"

The handymen thought for a while, laughed twice in agreement, and then dispersed to continue working.

After a while, the cooks and cooks came over to make supper, and the handymen couldn't talk to them at all, so no one told them that Bai Kou had come back to get things.

It was getting dark, and she had to go in and out of various small doors, and she had to go back to sleep after supper. Bai Kou did not forget to make an agreement with the women in advance to keep the door open for her.

The women are easy to talk about because of the face of Wenling Courtyard, and Bai Kou also thinks that it will be convenient to live in Wenling Courtyard in the future. After a few days, the stock in the small kitchen will gradually increase, so there is no need to go all the way at night. The kitchen is up.

Panting, she ran back to Wenling Courtyard, Meihuan had already finished her meal and went to her sister's shift, so Meilun was sitting in the kitchen, drinking hot water, chatting with a few girls.

As soon as Bai Kou entered the door, she cut the small pumpkin into four pieces, threw it to the girl to dig out the flesh and wash it, then called the millet and handed it to another girl to wash it, and she cleaned her hands before walking to the stove , Put on the smock, put on the shoulders, and start to heat up the rice for Miwa.

When the third young master scolded her in the main room earlier, Bai Kou pretended to have amnesia and didn't say a word, while Mei Lun drank water silently and didn't make a sound.

The maids brought in the washed millet and pumpkin, and when they put them on the long table, the food was only half-heated. The two of them were also clever, and went to fetch clean well water to cook the porridge.

Bai Kou heated up the food, put it in front of Meilun, turned around and started cooking millet pumpkin soup.

Cut up a whole small pumpkin, boiled a casserole full, took a soup pot and put out the third young master's share, and left the rest for the maids and mothers-in-law to enjoy.

"These are for you as supper. It's very hard to stay up all night. Drink some when you're hungry. Pumpkin and millet are good for your stomach. If it's cold, heat it up with water. If you can't use the big stove, use a tea stove to warm it up slowly." Come on, you all know this?"

The maids serving the masters can't count on cooking skills, and they can use a tea stove to heat up tonics or something. They can't do serious work under the stove, so Bai Kou must remind her not to be careful Their new kitchen was destroyed by one of their careless hands.

"Well, we will still make hot soup, don't worry." Meilun asked the girl to put away the casserole, and she put away the soup cup herself, and said kindly to Bai Kou.

The reheated food Meilun just thought was better than the fresh ones, compared with the food in the west kitchen, it was a fool. With such a capable cook, everyone in the Wenling Courtyard would be very happy. It's good, so why put on airs for that old man.

Bai Kou made supper, and she didn't need to care about the rest of the cleaning. She took off her smock and arms, washed her hands, and hurried back to the East Kitchen.

Along the way, with smiling faces and politely asking the women on the door to open the door, I only stayed with Third Aunt Nie for a while.

"Trouble third aunt, leave the door open for me at such a late hour."

Bai Kou came in through the half-open door with a smile on her face, took the candlestick from Third Aunt Nie's hand, and helped her light it up so that she could lock the door again.

"You are going to serve the third young master on the first day. His small kitchen is newly repaired, and everything is not complete. You must run back and forth in the past few days. I must not leave the door open for you."

"It's still my third aunt who loves me. In the future, the family will hold a banquet or something during the holidays. Tell me, I will teach my aunt a few new dishes to make her face longer."

"Oh, that's great. My dining table can also be a little new. Now who doesn't know that the tofu dish you made has been included in the Xiaoyan menu, and you, Mr. Wen, haven't even brought out the complete menu yet. You should be sure to serve this dish first. You should be careful, that guy is usually a smiling Maitreya Buddha, but if someone blocks his way and threatens his status, hehe."

"Uh, there's no one around now, so Third Aunt might as well say something more, this servant girl has a good idea."

Bai Kou didn't expect to be lucky enough to listen to the gossip of Ji Nian at all, so she quickly took Aunt Nie to the hut, moistened her throat with the tea on the table, and waited for her to talk slowly.

"Wen Gushan is not an old man in the mansion, but a cook bought by the third master. At that time, the rich aunt who was accompanying her was pregnant and had severe pregnancy sickness. She could only eat the food cooked by Wen Gushan, so the third master When I sent someone to send Fu Auntie back to the mansion to raise her baby, I brought the cook back along with me, and asked him to concentrate on serving Fu Auntie's food."

"Aunt Fu is so lucky, hehehehe."

"The three lords were all promoted slowly from a young age. At the beginning, the official position was low, and they were not allowed to take the post with their families. Besides, the three wives have to raise children. Although the mansion can afford to buy another house to accommodate their families, but The long journey is inconvenient after all. The wife is not by my side, and a man can’t live without a woman to take care of him, so his aunt is always by his side, and if she becomes pregnant, she will come back and change someone else. This rich aunt is the most favored, three The master has seven children, two sons and five daughters, the third wife only gave birth to one child, the second young master, but the rich concubine gave birth to the second daughter and a son, and this son is the youngest seventh young master in the mansion."

"Auntie Fu is so favored, so we, Director Wen, have gained a firm foothold in the mansion with the help of Auntie Fu?"

"That's right. He's also good at cooking. If Aunt Fu supports him, once he stands firm, he'll focus on climbing up. Anyone who stands in his way will end badly."

"Third Aunt, if you know something, just tell me, but the servant girl still wants to serve the Third Young Master in peace."

"That's right, you must take good care of the third young master. If you have the opportunity, just transfer to Wenling courtyard and don't come back again. As long as Wen Gushan manages the kitchen for a day, the people below will have no future."

Third Aunt Nie took a good look at Bai Kou, recalled some past events, and couldn't help sighing.
