delicious little cook

Chapter 647 Inspiration is a Good Thing
As soon as the servant girl left, the carriage of the cart shop stopped outside the store again, and the guys came in and out to bring in the goods, including a box of glycerin as a full trial gift. Bai Kou waited for this box of glycerin and took it from it. A few bottles went to the county palace and gave to Ning Peilan.

Ning Peilan was looking for Bai Kou, and just received a letter from Prince Yan's Mansion. The old concubine's birthday is coming soon. It's not a full birthday, so it's just a family meal. Ning Peilan, the new daughter-in-law, wants to cook a few dishes and is thinking about the menu. Bai Kou came to the door.

So at noon, Bai Kou stayed in the palace for dinner, and discussed with Ning Peilan a complete menu, but the specific dishes to be served depended on what menu was prepared in the kitchen of Prince Yan's mansion, and her new daughter-in-law would add a few dishes to it The food served to add to the fun of the family banquet, and the two chatted vigorously until a message came from the gate saying that Gu Shizi and his prince had returned home from school, and Bai Kou said goodbye and went back.

Gu Yun stepped into his main courtyard, and Bai Kou hurriedly followed in behind, saluting and greeting the prince with a smile.

"Sit at the opposite door for a day?" Gu Yun saw that Bai Kou was wearing street clothes, but his face was not tired, so he must have been sitting there for most of the day.

"Well, it's a coincidence that I sent glycerin to Princess Cheng, and she just received a letter from Prince Yan's Mansion, saying that the old princess decided to hold a family banquet for her birthday, and Princess Cheng wanted to cook a few dishes, so she discussed a menu with her and asked her to come adapt from time to time.”

"Well, the old concubine's birthday? That's right, it's almost here, and I forgot about it, so I have to hurry up and back up the birthday gift."

While talking to himself, Gu Yun waved to Bai Kou, the two went up the steps together, and then went back to their rooms to wash their hands and change their clothes.

Three or four days later, Mrs. Gu also prepared the long room to add makeup to Gu Yan's. She filled a whole box together with the gifts prepared by Gu Yun, and two strong servants carried them to the third room with poles.

The third wife and Gu Yan opened the box and took out the items one by one and put them on the table to make a list for later copying the complete dowry list.

After counting and transcribing, the third wife and Gu Yan put away the box, and went to Jicheng hall to thank the elder sister-in-law, especially Gu Yun, the gift he gave was too precious.

The lady said it sincerely. It was the first time that Gu Yun used the money he earned from his own efforts to add makeup to his sisters. He told Gu Yan to just accept it. It was chosen by Princess Mencheng. Since he is marrying a son of the clan, the wife should have a wife. style.

The third lady and Gu Yan thanked her again and again before resigning, and then there was a gossip among the servants of the public school that the eldest room gave the fourth lady expensive makeup. After all, when the two maids picked up the boxes and went to the third room, many people I have seen it, but no one knows what valuables it is, it must be very expensive anyway.

Gossip news slowly spread to the East Kitchen. There are always curious people wanting to know more details. Bai Kou happened to be discussing the winter menu with Zeng Zhu in the East Kitchen. As a result, many cooks came to ask Bai Kou. Of course, Bai Kou would not tell them anything, just admitting that it was indeed very precious, because the eldest son prepared a copy, and the eldest son prepared a copy, and the eldest son is not short of money now, and it is the first time to personally add makeup to the sisters. Pick good things to buy.

The people who came to inquire about gossip left satisfied when they heard this, but Gu Chan, who was taught cooking by the first-class cook in the small kitchen, felt uncomfortable when she heard it. She was taught a lesson by her mother yesterday and told her to be good. Learn not to cause trouble for everyone, now that she was troubled by the makeup, she lost interest at all, left half of the work and ran away, and Zeng Zhu couldn't even call back after yelling.

"Hey, what's wrong with Miss Fifth?" Everyone in the kitchen courtyard looked at each other, not knowing what kind of temper this Miss Fifth was having.

Seeing this, Bai Kou took Zeng Zhu back to her room to talk on the pretext of being too noisy, and on the way whispered to her that Miss Fourth had suddenly lost her temper, and she probably felt sad.

"Miss Four is coming out of the court soon. The elders and brothers have added precious makeup, but Miss Fifth may not be favored by the man. Naturally, I am not happy about this comparison. Let her go. You, the kitchen manager, can still manage her like this. What's the matter, Miss Qianjin?"

"I'm not worried about her running away impulsively. What if she falls on the road?"

"Fall on the ground? That's even more serious. The brain can't control the body. It's a typical illness. Whoever marries is unlucky."

"Hey, don't scare me, I think Fifth Miss is fine."

"Who knows then."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, let's finish talking quickly, it's getting late, it's time to make lunch later."

When Bai Kou and Zeng Zhu were busy with business, Gu Chan was also crying in front of her mother, but she didn't fall on the ground. Her close maid said that she must have been stimulated by Miss Fourth's make-up gift. What did the eldest room give? I know, but Bai Kou admits that what the prince prepares are all expensive gifts.

The second lady was helpless after hearing this. The daughters under her knees were raised delicately, and they didn't know how to cook. It was all her mother's fault. She also became sad for a while. It took the upcoming full moon banquet to finally persuade Madam.

Thinking back to the unpleasant quarrel between Gu Gan and his family earlier, the second wife wanted to organize this full moon banquet to make up for the relationship with her in-laws. When the girls reminded her, she immediately wiped away the tears on her daughter's face and took her to discuss it together. Details of the banquet.

Bai Kou and Zeng Zhu went back to the Zhongming Courtyard after discussing the business. After a short rest, they started to work on the workshop again. After the lunch break, they went to the shop to see if some of the gifts delivered yesterday were given out today.

Before walking to the door of the store, I saw the flow of people queuing up. There was a mobile bulletin board at the door, with posters in the style of New Year pictures on it. As long as you shop in the store and reach a certain amount, you can get a bottle of glycerin. The gifts are limited. , while supplies last.

The usage of glycerin is printed on another big poster. There are several pictures like a comic book. Women can at least understand the pictures if they can’t read the words. Generally speaking, it is a skin care product that can be applied all over the body. It can be used in all seasons use.

Influenced by these two posters, women and children line up outside the store.

Seeing that there were many people outside, Bai Kou didn't enter the store. He stood on the other side of the street and watched for a while, and saw that the people who were paying the bill in the store were also queuing up, so he went around to the back door with satisfaction. According to his observation, Miss Shi Tianqi hadn't come for several days, and she almost forgot about her.

Bai Kou felt that since Shi Tianqi was not coming, maybe the eldest princess finally felt relieved about Gu Yun. After all, everyone now knows that Gu Yun and Shi Tianmin are good buddies. Does Shi Tianqi's absence also mean that she is not interested in Gu Yun? ?Anyway, this son of the world has now replaced Liang Zhongshan, who was engaged, and has become the most attention-grabbing son in the capital.

Thinking that the princess mansion may not be interested in directly marrying the Gu mansion, Bai Kou felt a little regretful. If Shi Tianqi also fell in love with his heir, the scene must be very interesting, much more fun than secretly tempting Tong Mingli to be a chess piece.

I hope that Miss Tong can keep the secret in her heart, and don't let her husband's family find out that she has the lover of her dreams after marriage. Besides, she will be a good wife.

Standing in the courtyard of the teahouse, Bai Kou watched the four maids busy upstairs and downstairs, and let the thoughts in his mind jump freely with a ecstatic look. Just in time to renovate into a new women's tea room?There is no need to share the site with the store, and the upper floor can be vacated for the shopkeepers to rest, and even entertain big customers. Everything is ready-made.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Bai Kou couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately went upstairs to conduct a small survey with the daughters in the room, asking if they would like to change to a more spacious place, after all, the two workshops were empty It is also empty, especially the old workshops that are not dirty. Even the structure and layout of the houses are ready-made. The original part of the workshop can be completely transformed into a garden. When entering the hospital, the daughters don't have to get on and off the bus on the street, which is better than the privacy of this tea room.

Of course it would be better to have a more spacious place. The daughters are very interested, but the most practical question is whether the price will increase after moving to a new place, and if so, how much will the price increase. After all, the environment is better after changing to a spacious place Yes, it's worth raising some money.

Originally, this idea was a sudden inspiration. How could Bai Kou know whether the price will increase in the future, but she cleverly skipped this topic, and just asked these ladies to help her to ask for opinions in her circle of friends , if there are many people who are willing, there will be sufficient reasons to ask the prince for money to rebuild the house.

The daughters laughed loudly, accepted the reason, and promised to ask their friends for their opinions after returning home.

Bai Kou expressed his thanks again and again, and returned home to wait for his son to leave school.

Gu Yun got home from school, walked into the main courtyard of his Zhongming Courtyard, and saw Bai Kou standing on his porch at the entrance of the hall. It was rare to see her greet him home early in advance, Gu Yun strode through with surprise on his face. Walking across the yard and up the steps, he glanced suspiciously at Bai Kou.

"You look in a good mood today?"

"Have an idea for a business."

"I just guessed it. Prepare some food and wait for me in the ear room. I'll come right over."

Bai Kou saluted and retreated with a smile, while Gu Yun was greeted by Miao'er and Fei Hua into the bedroom to wash his face and change his clothes. When he opened the curtain and walked into the ear room with his whole body relaxed, the low table in the room had already set up all kinds of food, even tea. The temperature is just right.

"Is there really any good news waiting to be announced?" Gu Yun took a few sips of the teacup from Bai Kou's hand, sat down leaning on his foundation, and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"No, it's really a business idea."

"Looking at your rare dedication, this inspiration is asking me to pay for it?"

"Yes." Bai Kou replied decisively.

"You're not being polite at all."

"You have to be polite when talking about money. It's too hypocritical. Everyone is busy, so don't waste time and get straight to the point."

"Okay, what inspiration? Tell me, I'll listen."

For Bai Kou's fallacious reasoning, Gu Yun always loses his temper.
