delicious little cook

Chapter 644 Knowing well is sometimes a kind of helplessness

Standing in the dark and silent corridor, Gu Yun rubbed his face vigorously, sighed, cheered up again, jumped up the steps, walked into the corner door and returned to his own Zhongming Courtyard, the windows of the ear room reflected the warm orange candlelight , Qinglan at the door opened the curtain, and before Gu Yun entered the room, he saw Bai Kou already immersed in writing, with papers scattered all over the floor at his feet.

Gu Yun took off his shoes with a smile, pretended to go straight to his seat, tilted his head and took a look when passing by Bai Kou's table, then walked to his tea tray, poured a cup of tea and drank it down, then poured another cup , and walked back to Bai Kou, and when she raised her head, she handed the teacup to her.

Bai Kou drank tea slowly in small sips. While drinking, she stared at the draft she had drawn on the paper in a daze. She planned to use all the first batch of glycerin as gifts. And mouth, give her free advertisements, open up sales, and improve word of mouth.

While Bai Kou was drinking tea, Gu Yun sat down next to her and picked up her draft to study carefully, and discussed with Bai Kou in a low voice, and decided on the part that he, the boss, would be responsible for, because the glycerin was all packaged in small glass bottles For the sake of safety, they can only be transported by boat. Naturally, this kind of thing has to be carried out by the prince of Chengjun, who takes a boat every year. I believe that the princess of the county will be willing to allocate a boat to carry luggage for everyone.

With the friendship between Bai Kou and Ning Peilan, she could just go to the house and talk to someone, but she would rather go around in circles and ask the son to do something that the master should do.

Bai Kou couldn't help feeling a little nervous, she was full of caution, why not.

The next day at school, Gu Yun didn't see Gong Changji at the mansion school, and later found out that he was on sick leave and had a cold and cough, so after school, Gu Yun went to visit him in the palace, and when he saw him in the main hall, the palace chief It was nothing important anymore, the two changed to a flower hall where they could see the garden for tea, and Gu Yun proposed to book a boat.

The palace chief agreed immediately, and then chatted with him about the opening of two new schools in Xilefang. The men's school is nothing more than the women's school, which is refreshing. It's not that there are no women's schools in the capital, but the main purpose there is to teach How girls can be good wives and mothers is not a place where they can learn to read and study, and the educational purpose of this girls' school opened by Gu Yun is obviously the latter.

Mentioning this girls' school, Gu Yun looked helpless, and Gong Changji's heart of gossip suddenly burned blazingly.

"This girls' school is Bai Kou's idea?"

"It's all her idea. It seems to be opening a boys' school along with a girls' school, but in fact it's mainly a girls' school. In order to stop the world's mouths, a boys' school is opened along the way."

"Your words are so confusing. I didn't understand. What's the matter? Something happened again?"

"I have women in my workshop who cook and do the laundry, you know that?"

"I know, what happened to the female worker?"

"Almost half of the female workers are unmarried young girls, but in terms of the number of men and women, there are more men than women, so sometimes, you understand the virtue of men."

"Understood, then what? Then?"

"This kind of scene has been going on for a while. There are so many managers and deacons in the factory and none of the boys I put there have reported it. It was Bai Kou who personally caught a current situation and exposed this matter. Bai Kou hates it the most. This kind of thing happened, she was so angry that she came back and asked to open a school for the male workers to learn some etiquette and shame."

"This request is reasonable. Opening a school is a good thing to accumulate virtue, so how did it involve a girls' school?"

"The female workers are all maids under my name. Letting the male workers take advantage of me is tantamount to taking advantage of me. You know that my girls are going to let Liang out to marry outsiders in the future. Open a women's school, let the female workers go to study for a few years, so that they can compete with ordinary women in the future, and marry with the business partners of our factory. She talked about this, do you think this women's school will open?"

"Yes, of course it must be opened. This is a talent arrangement. For future rewards, it must be opened." Gong Changji nodded without hesitation, and then realized, "So you were persuaded like this."

"Then don't you think the timing is clever?"

"which aspect?"

"A few years later, the first batch of girls who have studied have a small success in their studies, and I will almost marry a wife and have children. Whenever there is a conflict, she can propose to transfer her to the factory and never come back. And those girls The children are her ready-made assistants, who can be married when they enter, and used by themselves when they retire."

Gong Changji nodded deeply, looking at Gu Yun with sympathy in his eyes.

"Bai Kou is paving the way for herself all the time. She doesn't want to be caught between you and your future wife at all. You want to have the best of both worlds, but in fact it's impossible, and you can only watch her play tricks in front of you." It’s a cautious plan, but it’s powerless to stop it.”

The palace chief took Gu Yun's shoulder and patted his arm.

"Although Bai Kou is an official servant, she was the royal cook of the Bai family for generations before the accident, and the head chef was in charge of a seventh-rank official. She is actually a girl from a bureaucratic family, and she has a natural arrogance that she will show when she gets the chance. Now is the test for you, whether she is your darling, if so, then you also know that letting her go out of the house is the best result, which can avoid many conflicts, if not, then you can torment her casually."

"Torturing her? I can't bear it. I feel so sorry for her being hurt by the oil in the pot." Gu Yun murmured weakly with his face drooping.

Gong Changji could only offer his most sincere sympathy.

"Even if you are willing to torment her, you can't do it. There are people watching her."

"By the way, when it comes to this, the higher-ups have given grace again."

"what?"

"How many people in Xilefang were staring at him. When Bai Kou caught the guy who was in the act, he sent him to Yingtianfu to make a board. The next day, the court knew that the governor would send an order to Marquis Wu in the workshop. No matter inside or outside the workshop, as long as it was inside the workshop, Some people were caught in the act and directly shoved on the street to be punished with a cane."

"Hey, the speed of this order is really fast."

"She is playing so carefully now that she sees that I can't keep her. She has a series of new business ideas these days. She wants me to continue hoarding land, both in the city and suburbs, to open up wasteland and plant land to build factories."

"Hey, poor Mingzhi, he is obviously the master, but he has nothing to do with his girl. Just wait until the caravan returns at the end of the year and see what news they find."

"I don't want to know what the result is now. Anyway, even if I find out, it won't change anything."

"Don't give up so soon, maybe there is a turning point?"

"Don't coax me, remember to prepare the boat, the glycerin is all in glass bottles, don't break it."

"Your way of thinking is so fast, you must have learned from Bai Kou. Please, please, I will prepare a boat, and I will not lose your glycerin."

"Bai Kou will send a few bottles to your house in the past few days. Don't forget to use it. It's really useful."

"Um, okay."

Gong Changji patted Gu Yun's shoulder again, and chatted about a new topic. It was about going out for shopping in a few days. This gift happened to be discussed by the two of them together. Does Gu Yun have any sisters who are going to get married at the end of the year?
