delicious little cook

Chapter 499 Know how to promote yourself

The two cuddled and chatted, sharing all kinds of gossip that Dongshou had heard in the past few days. Bai Kou told all kinds of stories, but kept one thing hidden.

Bai Kou kept her secret about exchanging chowder meat sauce for freedom. It was her secret, and she would not tell anyone unless the sage said it herself.

There are some things that you just need to know, if you say it, you will cut off your escape route, if the masters in the mansion use some tricks to take away her power and stop letting her go out casually, she will not get support from the outside world. The meat sauce agreement will naturally be abolished, and then she will really be a servant for the rest of her life.

Now that the status is not equal, it is really easy for the masters to take care of a girl.

Bai Kou didn't mind at all that she speculated on the intentions of her masters with the greatest malice. Although they had always been kind to themselves, it was still the old saying, you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must have the heart of guarding against others. Be careful sailing for thousands of years.

Although Gu Yun was happy to hold Bai Kou and chat all day long, the girls outside had to ask through the door what meals to prepare during meal time, which interrupted Gu Yun's interest in continuing to chat, Bai Kou He patted the tantrum-loving son soothingly, asked him what he wanted to eat, adjusted his hair and clothes, put on his shoes and went out to cook in the small kitchen.

After filling his stomach, Bai Kou went back to the ear room and continued to think about the plan for the new factory. Gu Yun sat beside him and read a book, but after a while, he climbed up to Bai Kou to harass her. Bai Kou rolled his eyes and stared at him with disgust. Gu Yun had a brainstorm and found the reason for the business. The three of Meihuan were getting married a few years ago, so they had to buy gifts for them to add make-up and boxes.

Once this topic was opened, it couldn't be closed anymore, and the two of them patronized chatting again, without doing what they should be doing, and the whole day passed like this.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up a little late, but the journey was exhausting, so it was inevitable for the body to fully rest. Anyway, Shizi was the only master in Zhongming Courtyard, and he slept until the sun was up, so he didn't mind the girls getting up late. for a moment.

The eldest master and the servants of the brigade who came back by land arrived home today. After breakfast, Gu Yun went to the front yard to handle external affairs with the butler. You can't be lazy, you have to share the burden for your parents.

Bai Kou took her dagger to the street and went to Lao Tie's house to help her sharpen it, and then went to inspect the workshops and shops. After walking for so many days, she had to take a look at the business situation when she came back.

"Are you busy?"

Bai Kou stood at the door of Lao Tie's house and glanced at it. The father and son were working, tinkly making parts for the case scale.

"Hey! The white manager is here, please come inside, sit inside, it's cold outside, drink some hot tea inside!" Lao Tie's family enthusiastically put down their work and came forward to say hello.

"No hurry, I'm here to ask you for help. I got a new dagger, but it's not sharpened. You can open it for me." Bai Kou pulled the plain-looking dagger from his belt and handed it over.

"An unsharpened dagger? So brand new? Let me take a look first."

Lao Tie pulled out the blade and saw the forged lines on the blade that can only be formed after thousands of blows, the father and son cried out in surprise.

"This is a good thing! Can you tell me where you got it?"

"Oh, during the winter hunting, the sage rewarded it, and the imperial gift was made by the craftsmen under the Ministry of War. At least the centurion can equip it in the army."

Bai Kou put it lightly and pretended to be coercive, but Lao Tie and his son swallowed, and it seemed as if they were holding a heavy sacred object in their hands.

"Your gift?! Tell me to open the blade?!"

"You don't know how to drive? Then I'll find someone else." Bai Kou stared, reaching out to take back the dagger.

"Don't, don't, don't, don't care! I can open it, I can open it! The blade will be cut very quickly, and you can get it right away. I'll do it right away, just wait a moment." Snatch it back, the imperial gift, who doesn't want to touch it for a while longer.

"How long will I have to wait? I just came back from winter hunting yesterday, and I still want to wait for you to open my sword and continue to work on my errands."

"If the white manager wants to go to the workshop to have a look, just go, and when you come back, I will guarantee that the blade is ready."

"Sharpen it better. This is the self-defense weapon specially given to me by the sage Nian when I was attacked in the summer. Don't grind it into a kitchen knife for me." Knives for different purposes have different grinding angles. The blade is really laughable.

"Master Bai, if I sharpen this dagger into a kitchen knife for you, my blacksmith shop will be closed immediately, and I will send my hands to you to dispose of. Our family will completely change careers, and we will never do this business again." Lao Tie patted his own hands. Cheek, "I can't afford to lose this person."

Bai Kou made him laugh, and withdrew his hand, "Okay, since you said so, I will open it for you, and I will get it later, don't show it to others, if the imperial gift is damaged and lost, you will lose your head .”

"Don't dare! Absolutely dare not!" The father and son of the Tie family turned pale with fright, and waved their hands repeatedly.

After thinking about it, Bai Kou was still worried, so she left a guard to watch in case the neighbors came to join in the fun, and then she took the other guards and walked straight to the workshop.

Lao Tie and his son welcomed the guards into the back room to warm up and drink tea, and showed the dagger to his wife in the room. The family looked at it carefully for a long time before Lao Tie finally took the dagger and sharpened it, while the sons continued to work in front. Live and greet business.

Neighbors around had seen Bai Kou coming a long time ago, and saw that she left after talking at the door for a while, and then the Tie family members entered the back room and then ran out again, so they came forward curiously to chat about family affairs, inquire about gossip, and there are sharp-eyed people I saw a dagger with a pattern in Lao Tie's hand and was sharpening it. Immediately, a group of people went to watch, and the guards hurried out from the back room to maintain order. mortal sin.

The news that Bai Kou had a dagger bestowed by the emperor quickly spread among the neighbors, and the neighbors quickly linked this dagger with Shengen, envious of Bai Kou's luck, he was indeed the best servant of Duke Ye's mansion people.

After visiting the workshop and the big car dealership, Bai Kou went back to Lao Tie's house to pick up the dagger, and was taken aback by the crowd around his door. Thinking that there are so many people watching.

The neighbors greeted Bai Kou warmly when she came back, and Bai Kou responded to them with a smile, and walked quickly into Tie's house.

Lao Tie took out the sharpened dagger and showed it to Bai Kou for inspection. As a professional cook, he was also an expert in knives. After a little inspection, he knew that the knife was cut correctly. What's more, the guard she left behind also played a supervisory role to ensure that no Any errors occur.

After putting away the dagger, Lao Tie suggested that Bai Kou make a new leather belt to match her robe with arrow sleeves, so that the scabbard can be firmly fixed on the belt, which is not only beautiful, but also convenient. Knives are faster.

Bai Kou felt that this suggestion was very reasonable, so he quickly wrote it down, and then went out to find a cobbler to make a belt.

After coming out of the cobbler's shop, Bai Kou went to Xianbugou's shop for the last time to check the business situation these days before returning home.
