delicious little cook

Chapter 470 New Population

The entire Duke Ye's mansion was immersed in the joy of welcoming Grandma Xu, and Bai Kou also received good news. This was the third time they saw each other, and the three of Meihuan finally found a man who looked at each other well.

Gu Yun got excited and shouted that Meihuan's family members were all dispatched abroad, and he wanted to meet the man as a relative. As for welcoming the lobby wife back home, he was not interested. Anyway, based on the distance, the day the lobby lady arrived He happened to be going to school, just wait for him to come home from school and listen to the chatter of the girls.

So under Gu Yun's signal, Bai Kou focused on preparing for the meeting of the relatives of the three girls under her command. Zeng Zhu was in charge of the welcome banquet for the new daughter-in-law, and Bai Kou, the supervisor, really only supervised.

The second wife stayed alone in Pingzhou to accompany her husband. Her mother-in-law, who should do her best, was not there. As the wife in charge, the eldest lady was too busy to welcome her nephew and daughter-in-law back home. She also wanted to borrow Bai Kou from her son. It can be seen that Bai Kou Because she was busier than her with the housework of Zhongmingyuan and the two business affairs in the palace, she had to give up.

Two days later, the motorcade of Gu Xu and his party entered the capital, and the eldest lady sent servants to greet them at the gate of the city. They fired cannons and played music along the way, welcoming them back to the mansion in a lively manner, attracting crowds of people along the way to watch.

The carriage stopped in front of the main gate of Duke Ye's mansion, the middle gate was wide open, lights were decorated, and the butler led the family members in two shifts to grandly welcome Gu Xu and his wife back home.

The day when they came back was not Xiu Mu, so only the big housekeeper greeted them at the door, otherwise Gu Yun would definitely stand at the door to welcome his elder sister-in-law, because the master and wife are all elders, it is impossible to come out to greet the younger generation.

The eldest lady gave her nephew enough face, Gu Xu led his newly married wife into the door happily.

Gu Xu and his wife took some time to wash and change their clothes, and then immediately went to Rong En Hall to meet the old lady. The old grandmother loved the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Gan family very much. , Gentle and kind, speak slowly and calmly, and every gesture reflects the grace and demeanor that a lady should have.

After receiving the rewards from Rongen Hall, the couple went to Jicheng Hall to pay a visit to Mrs. Guogong, and the eldest lady also rewarded a lot of gifts as usual. Finally, after they kowtowed in front of the third lady, they went back to their own courtyard to rest for a while. Later, the daughters of the third wife came to visit the sister-in-law and showed her around the mansion.

In the evening, the Duke and the boys came home one after another. Gu Xu and his wife rushed to Jicheng Hall to meet their uncle. Gu Yun and his brother also met their brother and sister-in-law at their parents' side, and there was Bai Kou outside the main room. Waiting, to recognize the faces of Grandma Xu and the servants around her.

The elders were very considerate of the newlyweds who were exhausted from the journey, and asked them to eat and rest by themselves tonight, and to have a family reunion with the family tomorrow night, and to go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors on the holiday.

Because the Duke is the head of the patriarch, he must be present to preside over such an important family ceremony, but he is also an official of the court, and it doesn't make sense to ask for a day off just for the newlyweds of the nephew and daughter-in-law to worship the ancestors. Let the couple have a good rest and recharge their spirits, so that they can worship their ancestors first and then hold a banquet on the day of rest, so as to cope with the whole day of human relations.

After Gu Xu and his wife left, Gu Yun went back to his courtyard to listen to the maids talking about the excitement of the day. Bai Kou was preparing dinner in the small kitchen. She had actually gone out all day, watching the production in the workshop, waiting for her to return home in the afternoon. The excitement here is over long ago, just listen to the girls say a few words and make up the rest by yourself and it's over.

In the morning of the next day, Bai Kou went all the way to the East Kitchen for a routine inspection, and had a face-to-face meeting with Grandma Xu's personal maid. They also came with two dowry cooks, both of whom were raised by the Gan family. Not yet married.

Grandma Xu had good intentions and wanted her dowry to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. When Bai Kou came over, Zeng Zhu had already taken the two new couples around for a tour, standing in the courtyard and asking them about their cooking skills and what dishes they were good at. In order to consider what level they should be placed in, and how to spend a month, seeing Bai Kou coming, it is natural to ask her opinion.

Bai Kou felt that there was no need to discuss this issue at all. Newcomers would start from the third rank when they came in, and they would use their own ability to win the ranking in the promotion competition and gradually climb up.

Before the two new cooks could speak, the accompanying girls were not happy.

"It's only third class? Is it too low? They are all good at cooking, at least they have to be second class."

"Where's the evidence?" Bai Kou raised her eyebrows and asked back.

After hearing Bai Kou's words, Zeng Zhu and the others all took a step back slowly, leaning back slightly, showing that they did not want to get involved in the ensuing debate.

Where did Gan's girl come up with any evidence to prove the cooking skills of the cook she married as a dowry, she suddenly became dumb.

"You're new here, and you haven't figured out the rules of Duke Ye's mansion. The East Kitchen has regular promotion competitions. If you pass the exam, you will be promoted. If you don't pass the exam, you will be lowered. All newcomers will start from the third class when they come in. Our Manager Zeng Zhu was the dowry of the second lady back then, and she has been gradually compared step by step. This year, she is the new manager of our East Kitchen. If you think it is too condescending for the dowry cook to be the third class, I have another idea. How about this, the east kitchen set aside a small kitchen for these two to use, the warehouse only supplies grandma Xu’s daily ingredients, other kitchen utensils and condiments are prepared by you, we will not take advantage of you, and we will not spend your monthly bill , All the rights of these two cooks are still in Grandma Xu's hands, and the relationship with our East Kitchen is just to come and use the small kitchen every day. How about it? Think about it?"

As soon as Bai Kou finished speaking, the expressions of Zeng Zhu and the others relaxed one after another. This is indeed a choice. If you want the East Kitchen to pay monthly expenses, you have to abide by the rules of the East Kitchen.

"Officer Bai, I heard that you are just a supervisor in the East Kitchen?" The girl is also kind, she wants to support her own people, and try her best to strive for better treatment. beads.

"That's right, I'm just a supervisor, so I only give advice and don't give orders directly. How about you go back and discuss with Grandma Xu and ask her to make a decision?" Bai Kou showed her most friendly smile, expressing her sincerity. What I want to do is to make suggestions sincerely, without any intention of cheating.

Having reached this point, Gan's girl and cook couldn't say anything more, so they left in a hurry.

Everyone in the East Kitchen kindly waited for them to leave the gate of the kitchen compound before they laughed together. The cooks all patted Bai Kou on the shoulder and praised her for handling it well.
