delicious little cook

Chapter 497 Excellent Reward

Bai Kou came out to serve tea and was busy with her competition. Basically, everyone knew that she would be the final winner of this year's competition. When voting tomorrow, even if it was only because of Gu Yun's face, many people would support her. Although the chef was doing very well and was always full every day, but in comparison, it was as if he came to play with her.

Bai Kou doesn't care about everyone's speculations and comments. She just focuses on finishing today's tea and dinner step by step. Tease her again.

After the dinner time, the six-day competition came to an end. Everyone ate to their heart's content. Tonight's dish included a roasted pig's trotter, which was sliced ​​into thin slices to serve with wine. It was spicy and delicious, and it was pushed from the kitchen When I came out, I was robbed of everything. No matter how people who don't eat spicy food can't help but taste it.

Bai Kou left the rest of the aftermath to the girls and handymen to take care of. She went back to the small camp to rest first. When she passed Gu Yun's tent, she heard a group of people talking and laughing in his tent, but she ignored it and focused on Just want to sleep.

Waking up early the next day, Bai Kou was finally free to serve these young masters again, and made breakfast for them. When they finished eating and went out for a stroll, Bai Kou and the girls began to pack their luggage. Today is the last day of winter hunting, and tomorrow will be On the return trip, they had been busy for six full days for the competition, and it was only then that they had time to organize their things.

The imperial camp is also rewarding the officials. Those who have achieved results in various competitions will be rewarded, and there will be a consolation prize for the last time. After this round of rewards is over, it will be almost lunch time. The last batch Those who were waiting to receive the reward were the eight cooks who had competed for six days.

Bai Kou had already changed her clothes and lined up outside the imperial camp, only to see people entering in front of her, and then happily coming out with different rewards.

A large group of people waiting to vote also came. Hearing the call from the camp, they went in with the cooks.

Eight people stood outside the dragon tent, each of them stood at a certain distance apart, and the ceremonial officer who supervised the voting directed everyone to stand behind different cooks according to their own preferences. Whoever had the most people was the winner and could enter the dragon tent to receive the reward .

Bai Kou became the winner without any suspense. Although there were many people behind the seven cooks, the female relatives were too supportive. Almost all the ladies, grandmas, wives and wives who had tasted her cooking skills stood behind her, and then the sisters pulled Brother, the wife pulls the husband, and the team lined up all the way to the outside of the imperial camp.

Who doesn't have sisters? Bai Kou coaxed the female relatives, and the men would not argue with their own women. In the end, it turned out that she took advantage of it.

Seeing that the result has been determined, the ritual officer smiled and went into the dragon tent to report the result, and then came out to Xuan Baikou to enter the tent to receive the reward.

Hundreds of officials are present in the dragon tent, the sage and the empress sit high above, the crown prince stands next to his father, concubine Zhao Xian sits at the bottom, and her eldest son, Prince Yu, stands behind her.

Bai Kou scanned the audience generously, walked to the front of the imperial court to salute and greet, stood up straight behind her back, and could not see any of the humble gestures that officials and servants should have, most of them just lowered their eyes and did not look directly at Longyan.

The saint didn't take it seriously at all, he laughed, and praised Bai Kou for his vigor and vigor, looking at him with ease.

A group of palace maids came out from behind gracefully and gracefully. The trays in their hands were filled with small gold and silver ingots that could blind the eyes. They were so heavy that it was difficult for the palace maids to carry them.

The palace maids walked past Bai Kou, bypassed her and went straight out of the dragon tent. Only then did Bai Kou realize that it was a consolation prize for the seven cooks outside, and it had nothing to do with her.

Soon the voices of Xie En and Shan Hu Long live came from outside the tent, and Bai Kou was curiously waiting for what she could get.

After the outside became quiet, three more palace maids came out holding trays and lined up in front of Bai Kou.

One is the same gold and silver ingot, one is just a piece of paper, and the other is a simple-looking dagger.

"Bai Kou defeated so many experienced chefs at such a young age, he deserves a big reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Now you are taking care of Gu Yun's business, and you pass countless money every day. I know you don't like gold and silver, but those two things should be good things to you."

Only now did the palace maids come to Bai Kou and asked her to check the other two rewards.

Bai Kou first picked up the piece of paper, which said that she could go to Donglinfang to customize any kitchen utensils she wanted at any time, with no limit on quantity or style.

In the hands of the Ministry of Industry, there are several workshops formed entirely by craftsmen and their families. The most exquisite craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation from father and son, master and apprentice, representing the top level of craftsmanship. Donglin Workshop mainly concentrates a large number of blacksmiths, and the tableware and kitchen utensils they make are imperial palaces. Exclusively for Heyu kitchen, this paper document represents Bai Kou's qualification to use imperial supplies.

This is indeed an extremely appropriate reward. As a cook, what I want most is good kitchen utensils. Bai Kou's face was full of smiles, and he put down the paperwork and touched the dagger again.

The scabbard is a common cowhide, the handle is non-slip, and the overall weight is also suitable. However, Bai Kou has a strong hand. Maybe it will feel heavy in other people's hands. Pull out the blade and look at it. There is a beautiful forging on the blade. It is non-reflective and has blood grooves, but it has no front. It is an excellent self-defense weapon just by looking at it roughly.

Bai Kou's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, he put down his dagger and knelt down to thank him.

"At the beginning of the year, you saved the prince's son-in-law. In the middle of the year, you were assassinated inexplicably on the street. That careless boy Gu Yun didn't know how to equip you with a weapon for self-defense. It's a good thing that you serve him so wholeheartedly. From now on, you will take it with you when you go out. This dagger goes out into the street, and if you encounter someone who doesn't have long eyes to attack you, you will fight back fiercely. Did you hear that?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The sage's words were like an oral order, and Jinkou Yuyan gave Bai Kou a lot of advantages in front of all the officials.

"Okay, let's go down, remember to come and make me a cup of milk tea in the afternoon."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys."

Bai Kou bowed again to leave, and the maids went out with her holding trays. When she got outside, Bai Kou shook off the towel and wrapped the gold and silver ingots in one go. He walked towards the small camp proudly.

Gu Yun and the others were waiting for Bai Kou to come back in the camp. From the time she stepped into the camp gate, people congratulated her constantly along the way and told her to go to the young master's tent first.

Bai Kou made a notification outside the tent, and when she heard the response from inside, she lifted the curtain and went in. She was greeted by applause from a group of young masters, all of whom were Gu Yun's well-played brothers, booing and laughing at her.

"Come here, let us see what reward we got."

Bai Kou shook the towel in his hand, and there was a sound of metal colliding. The young masters immediately understood what it was and stopped being curious. Then Bai Kou handed the dagger in his hand to Gu Yun, and everyone gathered around to observe it. .

These young masters naturally know more about weapons than Bai Kou. When they saw the forging pattern, they exclaimed that it was produced by a workshop under the Ministry of War. It is difficult for outsiders to buy one if they have money. The husband will match one.
