delicious little cook

Chapter 495 The Hope of Self-Saving

"The first time that meat sauce appeared, it was at the state banquet at the end of the year to entertain envoys from all over the world to celebrate the New Year. The meat sauce tasted so good that everyone ate it happily, but Ufazaghi's The envoys wept and said that they finally tasted the taste of their hometown for the first time in a distant foreign country. Bai Yehong once said that his meat sauce had room for improvement, so he did not have time to include the palace recipes, and no one knew whether he had extra Write a note, if there is one, it is most likely to be written on his own cookbook, so you must focus on finding those few books."

"The servant understands, and will definitely do his best."

"Little girl, don't say that I always make things difficult for a little girl. How can you say that your ancestors in the Bai family all have the merits of being a dragon, royal cooks for generations, and have enjoyed the grace of God for so many years. It is absolutely impossible for them to come back from exile now, but I Give you a chance to save yourself."

"Please order, Your Majesty."

"If you can make this luxurious version of chowder meat sauce in its original flavor, I will forgive you, but you have to act quickly. I am getting old, and it will not be good for you if you delay for a long time."

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Xi became impatient.

The saint waved his hand lightly, "It's okay, I'll be honest when I speak."

"The slaves obey!"

The surprise came so suddenly, Bai Kou was so excited that his breath was unsteady, his voice trembled, and he even sounded a little sobbing.

The saint raised his eyebrows dissatisfied, and hooked his fingers at the old eunuch beside him, "Look at her, I won't even get her to kneel down and thank you by now."

"Hey, Your Majesty, she was like this back then, and she didn't kneel down to you at that time. I still remember her staring round eyes."

Across the table, Bai Kou heard the strange conversation between the saint and Eunuch Xi clearly. It was as if an atomic bomb had exploded in her mind, causing her eyes to stare. Xi Gonggong and his face slipped back and forth.

Eunuch Xi chuckled happily, "Your Majesty, look, these eyes are even wider."

Bai Kou felt that the blood all over her body was rushing to the soles of her feet, and a question that puzzled her was answered at this moment. She quickly stepped back three steps, raised the corner of her robe, knelt down on the ground upright, and folded her hands He knocked on the ground, resting his forehead on the back of his hand.

"Slave Bai Kou thanked Lord Long for his kindness."

"Well, this thank you is very sincere. It's all right, get back on your feet, it's getting late, go do your work, and remember to come back tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this slave will leave."

Respectfully, Bai Kou got up from the ground, went to the tea table, quickly packed her toolbox, and walked away with one hand.

The ministers were already standing outside the tent, and the servants beside Gu Yun were also in the crowd. Seeing that she had finally come out, the servants first went up to take the heavy box in her hand, and carried her back to the small camp.

Bai Kou ignored these ministers, went directly to the back of the dragon tent, and went out through the back door of the imperial camp, still focusing on her competition first.

Having something to do helps her calm down. The messages she just received one after another squeezed her mind to the point of exploding. She had to do something to divert her attention and give her brain a rest.

The diners in the tent were all waiting, and they knew about the saint getting angry again, but when they saw Bai Kou coming in with a normal expression, they thought maybe the saint was speaking a little louder?
Gu Yun and the others came back from hunting foxes on the mountain. Before they had time to take a breath, they heard the news. Their hot sweat turned into cold sweat in an instant. They hurriedly changed into clean clothes and ran to the competition tent. usual.

The Shi Tianmin brothers and sisters were also here. Seeing that Gu Yun was back, Shi Tianmin enthusiastically beckoned him to take a seat. The table where Shi Tianqi was sat was Gu Yan and Gu Chan, and the remaining one was a woman from Miss Shi's family. friend.

Several people scattered among the crowd looking for a place to rest, and after a while the dim sum was pushed out. In order to save wasted time, Bai Kou made quick snacks.

After dinner, Bai Kou left behind a pile of mess to be cleaned up, and went back to the small camp to rest alone as usual.

After entering the camp, Bai Kou went straight to the kitchen and found a faint light on the long table inside. Someone left a light on purpose.

Bai Kou picked up the lamp and wanted to turn around and put it on the candlestick so that she could light a fire and heat hot water, but suddenly there was a black figure in front of her, which made her hairs stand on end in fright, and she kicked it out suddenly.

The black figure flexibly twisted his waist to avoid the kick, then turned his heel, and approached Bai Kou at a faster speed.

Bai Kou put down the lamp, turned around and kicked again, cursing while kicking.

"Which bastard sneaked up on me? Ask for a fight!"

Bai Kou yelled fiercely, but the kick was caught by the opponent, and he touched it along the leg, and then got a slap on the buttocks.

"Who are you talking about beating? Huh?" Gu Yun approached aggressively, propped his hands on the edge of the table, trapping Bai Kou in the middle.

"The servant girl asks for a beating."

You don't need to look at the face, you can tell who it is just by hearing the voice. Bai Kou's arrogance suddenly disappeared, and she lowered her head with her mouth pursed.

"My young master has been sitting here for a long time waiting for you to come back. As soon as you meet each other, you will kick him first. Your courage is getting fatter."

"My servant, this is a normal reaction after being frightened." Bai Kou lowered her head, eloquently speaking.

"Screaming is a normal reaction for a woman."

"Who told you? Screaming actually wastes energy and delays the time to escape. Seeing that the situation is not right, it is reasonable to distance yourself and run quickly."

"Still talking back?"

"If you can't say it, that's the way to go, hum."

"I don't want to waste time fooling around with you."

Gu Yun pulled Bai Kou back into the darkness, and Bai Kou realized that he had been sitting in a place where the lights couldn't reach.

"Tell me, when you were serving tea today, why did the sage get angry again?" Gu Yun knew that Bai Kou was sometimes slippery like a loach, so he sat with her lap on his lap.

"He didn't get angry, it's just that his voice was a little louder. Everyone was too nervous. In fact, nothing happened."

"Why is it so loud all of a sudden?"

"Because the sage said that in the future, officials from the household department would be sent to the new factory to check the accounts, and asked the servant girl if she would mind. Of course, the servant girl said she didn't mind. Our son is the master, and if he does, he does."

"The saint's voice is loud with just such a sentence? Do you think I believe it?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the saint tomorrow."

"You're calling it a trick." Gu Yun pinched Bai Kou's nose angrily, and found that the tip of her nose was cold, and quickly held her hand in his own to warm it up, "If this kind of thing really happened to me, I would be a fool if I went to inquire in front of the sage.”

"Yes, it is precisely because it cannot be 'proven' or 'falsifiable', so your question is really meaningless."

"Do you still want a slap on the butt? Tell me something so I can know."

"Except for continuing to serve tea tomorrow, there is nothing else to do."

"Really? Then tell me, why did the sage mention sending household officials to the new factory to check the accounts?"

"Oh, this is because the sage was guaranteed that as long as he allows you to sit in a monopoly position in the industry, the servant girl promises to pay the state treasury tax in the amount of ten thousand taels every year."

Gu Yun gasped, Bai Kou's breath was too condescending.
