Chapter 4 Handsome Brother Who Are You

Bai Kou squeezed Lu Doudou's hand, making her let go of her sleeve, and stood up to talk to her.

"Brother, which yard do you belong to? If you have anything to do with the kitchen, please go through the gate."

"Are you the kitchen handyman?"

The voice of the commoner boy was slightly hoarse, and it seemed that he was in the period of changing his voice, that is, he looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. He had a childish face, but he also had a calm temperament. Even wearing simple commoner clothes could not conceal his own brilliance. In addition, the person is good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, especially the eyes, which are flexible, sharp, and clear.

Everyone loves handsome men and beautiful women, but it was this person's voice that made Bai Kou raise her eyebrows slightly. It sounded familiar, like the guy who scared her last night, and immediately looked a few more times involuntarily.

"We are kitchen apprentices." Bai Koo said respectfully. The night light was dim, and no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't connect the other party with the shadow of last night, but the voice became more and more familiar.

"Oh? Those 24 apprentices? How are your cooking skills?"

"There is no chance to go to the stove."

The commoner boy frowned, feeling a little surprised.

"You have been here for a few months, and you haven't been to the stove?"

"Even the kitchen is not allowed to enter casually."

"Then what do you usually do?"

"Do things with the handyman."

"Aren't you going to do three assessments? What are you testing for?"

"Only the basic skills are tested."

"You can't enter the kitchen, how can you practice basic skills?"

Bai Kou shrugged heavily, "Sacrifice the rest time to practice."

"Tsk, what's the point if you don't go to the stove." The commoner boy was very dissatisfied with the answer, and turned to leave.

"Brother, did you come to find our apprentices on purpose?"

After all, Bai Kou lived two lifetimes. She had rich experience in her previous life. Seeing the other party's reaction, she immediately made a bold guess.

"After the filial piety period is over, there will be a lot of banquets in the mansion, don't you know this?"

"I know, the Elder Master is going to win the title, and he may be promoted. These are two big banquets, and then there are small banquets for various gatherings of relatives and friends."

"Originally, I thought that you apprentices would have learned some new market dishes when you came in from outside. If you improve them, you might be able to add something new to the dining table, but who knows that you don't cook."

Bai Kou spread her hands helplessly, "It's really not our fault."

"Do you want to go to the stove?"

"Think!" Bai Kou and Lu Doudou couldn't help but widen their eyes immediately, fortunately they still remembered not to shout loudly.

"Well, you can give me some new snacks to coax the children. If they are happy, I will help you get a chance to go to the stove." The boy in civilian clothes gave a condition that was hard to refuse.

"Snacks for children, all kinds of salty cakes and sweet cakes, street snacks are not available on the dining table in the house." Lu Doudou saw that the other party had no airs and was dressed in common clothes, she gradually relaxed, and began to crunch the walnut shell again .

The commoner boy's face straightened, showing that he was dissatisfied with the answer.

Lu Doudou quickly lowered his head and concentrated on eating walnuts.

Bai Kou had something to say.

"My little brother, whose family are you talking about? From a commoner family? From an official family? From a noble family?"

"The Grand Master's grandsons and granddaughters."

"How many in total?"

"Five."

"How old are they?"

Bai Kou felt very tired, why this little brother was not clever at all when he asked and answered.

"Necessary?" The clothed boy frowned.

"It is necessary to have different diets at different ages. Younger children should pay more attention to their diets. Only by paying attention to the distinction is a dedicated cook."

"The eldest son born to the eldest lady is almost seven years old, the eldest daughter is over four years old, and the eldest daughter born to the second lady is also over four years old, and there is also a pair of twins who can already crawl."

"Wait a minute, except for the twins, are the three children full or imaginary? I need to know their full age before I can give advice."

"why?"

Not only the commoner boy was puzzled, but Lu Doudou also had question marks on his face.

"The simplest reason is that children under the age of three should not eat whole beans and nuts to prevent choking and choking. These ingredients must be finely processed."

"Oh."

Some truths are worthless if broken, the commoner boy and Lu Doudou immediately understood.

"Brother, let the sisters around Madam come over and order this kind of thing, why let me go there in person, you must be the servant in front of the old man, right?" Bai Kou said with a smile.

The boy in commoner pursed his lips and put his hands behind his back, "Why can't the elder care about his grandson's diet?"

The hairs on the backs of Bai Kou and Lu Doudou stood on end immediately, and their faces turned pale.

"My servant made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me!" Bai Kou hurriedly bowed his head and confessed.

"In view of the fact that your previous suggestion is somewhat reasonable, I can ignore your slip of the tongue just now."

"Thank you brother."

"I can also tell you that the eldest grandson's actual age is more than five years old and less than six years old. The eldest daughter of the eldest daughter and the eldest daughter of the second daughter are both the same. They are less than three years old. The difference between the two girls' birthdays is three months. If you can tell me a few new recipes, I will completely forget about your slip of the tongue just now." The little brother knows how to threaten and lure people.

"Brother, I can't say it's a fresh recipe. Let's stew a pumpkin and shrimp soup for the twins. There are early-ripening small pumpkins on the market this season. Add salt, and give the shrimps to the three brothers and sisters."

"Seasoned and unseasoned soup?"

"Baby food under one year old contains less sugar, no salt, and no condiments. Don't be afraid of the mild taste. It's just right for babies. If they can accept the shrimp taste, it's easy to cook fresh shrimp when it's cold. Shrimp paste for them to eat."

"So that's how it is." The commoner boy looked taught, "What new snacks do those three kids have?"

"With nuts or without nuts?"

"Come a few each."

"Nut potato cakes, nut bean paste crisps, nut egg rolls, honey candy layer cakes, nut glutinous rice balls, crispy nut balls, these are all snacks made with crushed nuts. Pan-fried lotus root cake, Grilled sausage rolls, mastic pea puree, fried chicken popcorn, mung bean pancakes, sesame apple cakes, meat muffins, two-color hair cakes, fried milk. Brother, you can choose whatever you want.”

Bai Kou reported a series of pastries and snacks without stopping, Lu Doudou was dumbfounded, her throat slipped up and down, and she swallowed a lot of saliva.

A smile slowly appeared on the face of the commoner boy, "Okay, even if you are serious about your studies, the recipes come out as soon as you open your mouth. I don't care about the previous rudeness. If you make those young masters and young ladies happy, turn around I will advise the master and madam to give you apprentices the opportunity to go to the stove."

"Why don't you take the opportunity to change the assessment method?"

"Getting ahead?" The boy in civilian clothes half-closed his eyes in displeasure.

Lu Doudou took a deep breath and lowered her head, not daring to look at her. Bai Kou was also heartbroken, but she still mustered up the courage to look directly into the other's eyes.

"Brother, our 24 apprentices are all selected from different workshops. Everyone's basic skills are solid and impeccable. No matter how you compare them, you can't compare them. It's better to let us go to the stove. It's a real cooking competition, and if you lose, you will be convinced."

The commoner boy didn't answer the question, but suddenly pointed at Bai Kou and asked, "What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Bai Kou. Her name is Lu Doudou."

"Since you know that I am in front of the Grand Master, how can you still call yourself 'I'? The kitchen should also teach you etiquette."

"Maybe we have to wait until the final six are selected before starting to teach."

Bai Kou made up a reason, but the other party didn't listen to it at all, and walked away.
