delicious little cook

Chapter 484 Delicious food should be shared with saints

Due to the early holiday of the school, the students who are eligible to participate in the winter hunting set off as early as possible. Gu Yun and others rested comfortably in the camp for two days. All the discomfort caused by seasickness dissipated. The troops finally arrived.

Naturally, there was a lot of hustle and bustle on the day of the meeting, but it was not Bai Kou's turn to watch the scene, she only cared about her competition in the past few days, and after all the members arrived, she finally saw the other seven competitors.

It was expected that she was the only woman among the eight people, but among the others there was an exotic cook, with a reddish-brown lion-head haircut and beard, he was shaggy, tall and strong, and everyone in this camp was covered. He was so tight that he even rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, showing that his arms were not cold at all.

Bai Kou was very interested in him, and went up to greet him, and learned that his name was Dabi, and he was the cook of the Siyi Pavilion under the Ministry of Rites, and his assistant was his colleague in the kitchen. The characteristic is that he is good at cuisines from all over the world.

Now that a person like Buda came, Bai Kou immediately raised the importance of this competition to a new height, and did not dare to take the level of the other six people lightly, who knows what unique skills they have.

The winter hunting officially started on the second day, and Bai Kou had no time to watch the grand ceremony. She took her girls to her competition tent early in the morning, and the farm delivered all the ingredients and condiments needed for the whole day. Arrange dishes freely.

Bai Kou prepared several notice boards that could stand on the ground. While her maids were cooking ingredients by the water, she listened to the sound of cannons at the beginning of the ceremony, and wrote a big notice and pasted it on the board. Outside her tent, everyone can see people coming and going.

The first step in an orderly game is to establish the rules.

According to Bai Kou's rules, at noon there is a women's session without alcohol, in the evening there is a men's session with alcohol, and in the afternoon there will be a snack tea, regardless of gender, dine-in or take-away.

Twenty tables, eighty seats, no order, eat what the kitchen cooks, take as much as you eat, food is limited, waste is not allowed, big-eyed and small-minded people are not welcome.

If you want to allow more people to eat homemade meals in a limited time, only the buffet in the form of flowing water is the most efficient.

As soon as the notice board was erected, the servants and soldiers of various governments walking around in the camp saw it first, and it spread word of mouth. When the winter hunting ceremony was over, the young masters, ladies, masters and wives who were free came over one after another. Watch in person.

Bai Kou has not practiced calligraphy for more than a year, and the handwriting on the notice is neat and tidy, and the writing is concise and clear. Otherwise, how could the illiterate servants of each government accurately convey Bai Kou's meaning to their masters.

The onlookers read Bai Kou's notice, chatted and laughed, and then accepted the rules she made. By the way, they checked whether the other seven people had any notices. Those who were interested walked back and forth, and found that only Bai Kou wrote in black and white. Put the ugly words up front.

Just when there were more and more people watching, Bai Kou came out of the tent, holding a large new notice with paste in his hand, and stuck it on the notice board with a snap, then turned around and entered the tent again .

The person standing in front of the notice board quickly read out the above content, which is actually the start time and end time of lunch, as well as the queuing time of diners. In addition, no one will be accepted if they come early.

Everyone took a look at the sky, scattered more than half of them with a clatter, and waited until the time came before queuing up.

Since Bai Kou's side is a women's session at noon, the men went to the tent next door to ask the other seven participating cooks about their meal times, and then they slowly dispersed. The large area gradually returned to tranquility, only the cooks We are busy with our lunch.

Everyone was busy, when suddenly two young eunuchs came, a few steps away from everyone, they didn't say what they were doing, they just stood aside with their hands clasped to watch.

When Bai Kou greeted them both, they would return the salute, but when asked what they were doing, they only replied to come and see.

The girls all looked puzzled, but Bai Kou understood a little bit.

"You two little eunuchs, do the eight of us have to be like this these days?"

"Exactly, Bai Kou is in charge." The two little eunuchs were very polite to Bai Kou and replied with a smile.

"Oh, that's fine, we'll be busy now, and we'll get into the tent to boil water and make tea for the two little father-in-laws."

"Okay, it's work."

Bai Kou nodded and directed the girls to continue working. They washed all the dishes to be used at noon, and then brought them into the kitchen one by one to chop and side dishes. The meat to be marinated was also changed to the required size. Pickle up in different pots.

The two young eunuchs also moved into the kitchen. Bai Kou lit a fire to boil water and soup. The heat escaped from the pot, and soon the kitchen became warm.

Under Bai Kou's careful planning, all the dishes for lunch were ready before the scheduled meal time, put them on the trolleys that came with them, and pushed them to the restaurant to line up, and then there was a side of each dish A paper-folded triangular nameplate with the name of the dish and main and auxiliary ingredients written on it.

At this moment, another little eunuch came in from outside, carrying a multi-layered food box, walked back and forth twice before all the dishes, and picked out a dish of peppery beef, which Bai Kou served in person at their request. Three servings were put into the food box, and the three little eunuchs left together.

"What does this mean?" The girls were still puzzled and looked at Bai Kou together.

"It's nothing interesting, the sage just wants to eat." Bai Kou shrugged, ignoring the girls under her hand who were suddenly so nervous that their lips were trembling, "Little Ye Zi, Wan Qiu, you two go outside to nod heads, count them clearly, and only put [-] heads." If one person comes in, one more person can’t sit down.”

"Are you letting the girl in? Or are you just counting the masters, wives and wives?"

"Forget it, if you bring a girl, the girl is also counted as one person, and they will send the girl aside by themselves."

"Hey, I see."

Xiao Ye Zi and Wan Qiu went out immediately, and Bai Kou arranged for the rest of the maids to stay in the dining room to receive guests and clean the table, and half to have lunch in the kitchen first, and come out to replace their companions when they are full.

There was already a long queue outside the restaurant, as long as the female relatives who had a banquet at Duke Ye's mansion came to join in, seeing that Xiao Yezi counted the number of people including the accompanying maids, these mistresses immediately excluded their maids outer.

After Xiao Ye Zi and Wan Qiu counted back and forth several times, they finally counted eighty mistresses, big and small, and lifted the curtain of the tent to invite them in.

Naturally, the restaurant had already been cleaned up. These girls serving Gu Yun stood in a row. From their faces, they could no longer see the nervousness and excitement when they suddenly heard that the saint was about to taste the dishes. Instead, they were all smiles. They saluted and greeted the guests in unison, they were all serving Gu Yun, so there was nothing wrong with being courteous, and they warmly and thoughtfully helped them get food.
