delicious little cook

Chapter 51 is to make you jealous

Still outside the wall of Wenling Courtyard, Bai Kou heard the commotion of people in the courtyard, thought something happened and hurried in to take a look, only to see a few masons were making mortar in the courtyard, bricks were piled on the ground, and There are servants on the side to look after.

"Bai Kou, are you back?" Seeing Bai Kou, Aunt Su quickly took the basket from her hand and let the little girl put it in the kitchen.

"What is this for?"

"We just found out that the young master went to ask his wife to build an oven last night."

"Where is there room to build an oven? Let's build a shed now?"

"It's built in the firewood room, and the firewood is moved to the storage room on the far side. Anyway, there are usually some rice, flour, grain and oil there, and half of the space is enough for firewood."

"Can it be built in a day?"

"The craftsman said it could be built. The oven is not big. The requirement is that it can roast a whole leg of lamb."

"Hey, this is good, everyone will have good luck in the future."

"Master Six will come back tomorrow, can you make it in time?"

"That can't catch up. It will take a few more days, at least until the powder is completely dry, and this brand new oven has a temper, I have to test it out first."

"Hehehehe, I understand, I understand, just like a new stove, you have to try the fire first."

Bai Kou smiled and watched the craftsmen busy for a while, then patted Aunt Su on the shoulder, told her, and went to the west kitchen by herself.

When Yan Bo saw Bai Kou leaving and returning so quickly, his expression immediately became a little nervous.

"Forgot something?"

"No, no, Uncle Yan, I just came back and found out that the Wenling Courtyard is building an oven. Let me ask if there are any matching tools in the warehouse."

Yan Bo lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Bai Kou with some uncertainty.

"There are some old objects in the warehouse, and these younger generations can't recognize what they are for. Why don't you let someone take you to see them? If you can use them, you can move them away. If you can't use them, you can just make a list and destroy them."

"All right, all right, uncle Yan."

Uncle Yan quickly called a young man to take Bai Kou to the warehouse where the items were stored. Because of the recent inventory and bookkeeping, the warehouse was a bit messy, but Bai Kou was lucky enough to find the corner where the oven tools were piled up, and then he looked regretful. Tell the young people around you to destroy them all.

All kinds of wooden shovels and clips can only be used as firewood, and metal objects such as cast iron bakeware are in a mess. Even if they can be cleaned, they dare not use them for cooking for others. They would rather buy new ones for peace of mind.

Yan Bo got Bai Kou's letter of approval, and he knew it well, so he asked people to go in again and make a record.

Because Bai Kou fumbled around in the dirty and old things, she was covered in dust, so she went back to Wenling Courtyard to freshen up, and it was almost time to go to the East Kitchen to work.

Everyone in the East Kitchen knew that there was a new steward, Yan Bo, in the kitchen, but no one knew about Yan Bo's origin, and they were discussing how the new steward would manage the warehouse, when Bai Kou walked into the kitchen hospital.

So a group of people surrounded Bai Kou, asking her if she knew who Yan Bo was.

Bai Kou also truthfully recounted Yan Bo's original words to everyone, then squeezed out of the crowd to find Zeng Zhu, the female steward.

Yesterday, when he learned that Zeng Zhu was the second wife's dowry, Bai Kou thought of building a good relationship with her.

"I'm in charge, let me tell you something."

"Okay, you say."

Zeng Zhu is in her early forties, of medium height, with a round face, and soft-spoken. She is the softest of the four stewards, and her status is also at the bottom. Lu Meihua, who is always the most scolding, has a sense of presence more .

"Now that the kitchen has a new supervisor, Uncle Yan, the third young master asked me to contact Uncle Yan directly every day, instead of taking ingredients from the East Kitchen."

"Is that all? Okay, I'll write it down, and I'll tell Manager Wen later."

"You Lao Zeng is in charge."

Bai Koufu saluted, then turned to look for Lu Doudou, stayed with her, and waited for the stewards to distribute the work.

This is enough for the first contact with Zeng Zhu, don't be too anxious to express to her, first cultivate the relationship between the two, it's the same as chasing a girl.

Lu Doudou dragged Bai Kou aside and whispered, asking her what she had just said to Zeng Zhu.

Bai Kou also told her truthfully that there was no need to keep this matter secret, once Zeng Zhu told Wen Gushan, everyone in the kitchen would know about it.

Yesterday someone spread malicious rumors to hurt himself, today let everyone know about his new power.

"Bai Kou, here's yours! Good job!" Lu Doudou patted Bai Kou vigorously, "In this way, you are the kitchen manager of Wenling Courtyard."

"Don't be so exaggerated, be careful to make people jealous."

Lu Doudou immediately tactfully made a silent gesture, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and finally couldn't help giggling.

Others looked curiously, not knowing what the two of them were having fun with, they all guessed if there was something good going on.

At this time, Zeng Zhu had already found Wen Gushan and told him about the new arrangement of the small kitchen in Wenlingyuan. Wen Gushan said lightly that he knew it. cardamom.

The other three stewards approached Zeng Zhu to inquire, and within a few words, the story of Bai Kou spread throughout the kitchen.

It's only been a few days since I went to Wenling Courtyard, and now I'm working as a steward, even the chief steward, arranging and taking care of the daily meals of the third young master, this power is too great.

Like Lu Doudou, Wanqiu and Hongsu are genuinely happy for Bai Kou, but they are not as obvious as Lu Doudou. They just praise her for having a big face for the newcomer, and drag the boys away Come in, so that they don't get sour on the sidelines and tell the old chefs to watch a joke.

Mengmei followed the crowd to congratulate Bai Kou, and when she turned around, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth angrily.

The past few days have been difficult. She listened to Mr. Wen and wanted to become the boss of the third-class kitchen, but she didn't expect that everyone didn't give face, and the newcomers would listen to her arrangements. He doesn't even look at her directly, and speaks in a strange way, and stabs her with Bai Kou from time to time, saying that she is not as capable as Bai Kou, who is younger than her and taller than her.

"Okay, okay, what are you still doing in a pile, it's endless, you don't need to work? The masters don't want to eat?"

Lu Meihua stood up with a cold face, shouting loudly to disperse the crowd.

"Bai Kou, even if you are the steward of Wenling Courtyard, you are a third-class cook in the East Kitchen. Remember your identity and don't get too complacent." Lu Meihua warned in a cold voice, and left with her sleeves flung.

"Tch, Bai Kou, don't pay attention to her, she's just playing prestige in the East Kitchen."

Lu Doudou whispered in Bai Kou's ear, took her hand and stood in the line of third-class cooks, waiting for the stewards to assign work to everyone.
