delicious little cook

Chapter 482 Gu Yun is a Man of Great Things
"What do you mean? The old chefs can't afford to lose?"

"what do you think?"

"Do you want your servant to sign up?"

"Many people in the government school are looking forward to it. As long as you sign up, they will definitely support you."

"It doesn't work just for the young masters of the government school. For six consecutive days, the total number of people will be counted at the end. There is a problem with this rule."

"What's the problem?"

"It's too easy to cheat based on the total number of people eating, and even if the ingredients can be provided in unlimited quantities, the cook's physical strength is limited. The number of guests that can be served for a lunch or dinner is not counted at all. Experienced cooks have a change of mind You know what the upper limit is, and besides, the number of dining tables has not been written on it, the number of seats determines the number of people eating at the same time."

"That's right, how do you think it would be more reasonable to change?"

"Can it be changed?"

"This is still a draft, otherwise I can secretly copy it out for you to read?" Gu Yun winked playfully.

"It turns out that this is intentional release of water?!"

"You can change it however you say, you have the final say."

"There is no need to make it too complicated. The final evaluation criteria are not based on the total number of people, but on the votes of diners. Whoever has the most people in the tent will be the final winner."

"What about the number of seats? Don't you need to write it down to remind the old men who set the rules?"

“Really delicious food, customers will be willing to wait in line.”

Gu Yun burst into laughter, and Bai Kou took the few pages of paper to leave, and went back to her room to write her revised opinions.

The next day, Gu Yun took the opinion written by Bai Kou to the government school, and only six or seven days later, the official rules for this year's winter hunting came down, completely adopted Bai Kou's opinion, and Gu Yun immediately reported it for her. named.

At the same time, Bai Kou announced in the mansion that Dongshou's accompanying cooks would be led by male stewards, Zeng Zhu and Lu Meihua stayed in the mansion, and she only ordered the three of Lu Doudou and the maids from Zhongmingyuan, and the three of Meihuan to serve the prince The daily life of the family, and the rest of the people all follow her to be cooks in the big tent for six days.

The elders of the second room were not there, so the eldest lady took Gu Chan with her. Gu Xu stuffed the two concubines into his circle of colleagues and relatives, and the couple formed a small camp with their brother-in-law Gan Yuwen and his relatives.The third wife only brought Gu Jing and the eldest daughter Gu Yan with her. Gu Yan is the fourth young lady, who is 16 years old this year and has not yet settled on a marriage. The third wife wants to choose between the two brothers and sisters during the winter hunt.

With last year's experience, this year Bai Kou became calmer and calmer. All the necessary preparations were distributed step by step, and even squeezed out time. For the marriage of the three of Meihuan, they invited the relatives of both men and women to meet and talk. The representatives of Huan's family members dressed up to attend, making the other party's family members sweat on their foreheads the whole time. Basically, the other party nodded in agreement with everything Gu Yun said, and quickly agreed on the matter of getting married a year ago.

The workshop of the empress's order was finally completed on schedule. The palace received the news and sent people out to check and accept it, and then sent a mighty motorcade into the palace. The workshop then started to make the orders for the city defense camp. There were no special requirements, and the progress was much faster. .

The whole capital knows that Xianbugou has received a big order from the palace, and the business volume has exploded. The workshop is already producing non-stop around the clock. Find suitable contiguous land in the area and prepare to build a new factory.

Gu Yun still messed around with Shi Tianmin, taking business and money from him, but he didn't spend a penny, and saved it all in his hands, and didn't buy new beauties anymore, so he used Bai Kou as a cover, saying he wanted to keep the money Buying land and building a factory next year will just launder the money in his hands, and he can spend it with peace of mind, otherwise he will not even be able to withstand the inquiries of his family.

This completely nonsensical reason woke up Shi Tianmin inexplicably, and said that if he wanted to buy a share, he would distribute it to a factory. No matter how much money Gu Yun invested in that factory, he would still give a share, and only occupy the name of a shareholder to pay dividends at the end of the year. If he does not hold power, he will not manage it. If he doesn't send people to check the accounts, he will be an invisible shareholder, and he won't ask about anything else.

To put it bluntly, even if he borrowed a workshop from Gu Yun, Shi Tianmin also came to launder his shady money, otherwise besides spending time and money, his money would also not be able to be spent in a fair and honest manner.

As soon as Gu Yun went home to discuss with Bai Kou, Bai Kou immediately agreed. She happened to be short of money to build a laboratory. After this time, she produced paper soap for the empress. It is better to hire a special perfumer to customize the spices. If you can have a perfume room, you can produce your own spices, and you don’t need to ask others in the future.

Now that Bai Kou nodded, Gu Yun replied to Shi Tianmin, because it is still under construction, and it is impossible to say how much money will be invested before the new factory is completed, so Shi Tianmin first gave Gu Yun 1 taels of private house Let him spend the money as he pleases, and tell him when he runs out of money.

In private, Shi Tianmin didn't tell anyone about borrowing the new factory to launder money, it was completely a secret between him and Gu Yun.

After Bai Kou received the thick stack of silver notes totaling 1 taels, he felt that Shi Tianmin gave the money too readily, and it was a little unclear who was holding whom in the palm of his hand.

"What are you laughing at?" Standing in Ping Tui's study room, Gu Yun pinched Bai Kou's face. She was holding a bank note in her hand, and she had a really weird smile on her face.

"When I asked you to act as a villain before, I was worried that your acting skills were not enough, and I might not be able to do it, but now..." Bai Kou shook his banknote, "I seem to have underestimated you, maybe you are really talented."

"Is it not good?"

"Okay, very good, there is me in you, and you in me, we are in harmony with each other, and we will never leave."

"Why does it sound weird?"

"Where is it? Maid is praising you and Mr. Shi Tianmin for finally crossing the difficult threshold and entering a brand new stage."

"What stage?"

"The honeymoon period when the relationship is rapidly warming up." Bai Kou nodded vigorously, "You can probably play around with Mr. Shi in one way or another now, I believe he will be happy to lie down and let you do it, and then it's up to you You have the ability to coax people, you must maintain this relationship, otherwise, once you turn your back, you will not be able to bear it."

"Hey! You are getting more and more courageous, dare to tease me!"

Gu Yun came to his senses, raised his eyebrows high, Bai Kou made a grimace and ran away, Gu Yun was too late to catch her, and watched Bai Kou rushing out of the room as if oiling the soles of his feet.

With the 1 taels given by Shi Tianmin, plus the cash that Gu Yun had saved in his own hands, the wealthy Bai Kou told his eldest uncle Tang Lin to directly buy 150 mu of land, which is equivalent to a total area of ​​about [-] mu. For Xiafang, it is almost one-eighth of the land.

The land price is only five taels of official silver per mu, and the total land price of 150 mu of land is only 750 taels. This money can only buy a standard residential house with one mu of land in Tianshuifang, and there is still some capital left for small business.

Many of the open spaces in Xiafang were converted into vegetable fields and fruit groves by nearby residents. Tang Lin visited and investigated each square, and finally selected three or four squares with enough land. Hou Shang discussed the purchase of land.

It would be easy if it was an abandoned vacant land, but this vacant land occupied by residents was the most troublesome, and they had to be compensated for their losses first.

After a lot of time-consuming and laborious negotiations, Bai Kou bought [-] mu of land in Xilaifang, which occupied more than half of the southeast corner of the whole square. Everyone in the palace knew about Gu Yun's purchase of land to build a new factory. They all said that he was courageous and a boy who could do great things. The concubines even joked in front of the empress that they wanted to recruit Gu Yun to be their son-in-law.

The craftsmen who had been prepared during the land purchase negotiations came to the stage at this time, and built a high wall around the land first. After the winter hunting, Bai Kou was free to plan things here.
