delicious little cook

Chapter 656 Everything is going well

Ning Peilan received the land deed and sent someone to deliver the title deeds from Gu's mansion to Bai Kou. Bai Kou picked out the one from Gu Hui and sent it to her first, and sat down with Aunt Rong for a while. Let's chat, the next large-scale civil engineering project will have to rely on the district family to help find craftsmen. We need folks who understand water conservancy construction to design the overall direction of water canals and ditches. In fact, among the large number of craftsmen affiliated to the Ministry of Industry are water conservancy. He is a talented person, but he only works for the court, and he doesn't know whether he will take private work or not.

After resigning from Aunt Rong and coming out, Bai Kou handed over Sixth Master Chen's land deed to the eldest lady, told her some plans of the Agriculture, Industry and Commerce Alliance, and then went back to the Zhongming Courtyard to rest, and when the son arrived home, he gave him the remaining three land deeds He will hand it over to Uncle Xu and Second Master Jing.

According to Bai Kou's meaning, whoever pays whose name is written on the land deed, Ning Peilan and Shi Tianqi's shares are counted in the names of their husbands and elder brothers, and the only serious female shareholders are Gu Hui and Grandma Xu. And this matter, and he couldn't afford the money, since Gan's paid the money alone, then it is natural to write her name, but the future will be used by their small family together, Bai Kou feels that Grandma Xu is too wronged.

Gu Yun went to deliver the land deed, and he also brought three boxes of pound cakes made by Bai Kou, and entered the sister-in-law's small courtyard in the name of giving new snacks, and gave a box of cakes to the sister-in-law's maid, then went to see the second aunt, She kept one box, and gave the last box to the third aunt.

When Gan opened the cake box, he saw the land deed hidden inside. He quietly put it away, ate half of the cake, and left the other half for her husband.

After just three or four days, since they had to hire craftsmen to do the work, they naturally couldn't keep it a secret. The people in the capital knew that Gu Yun took the lead and brought his brothers to buy a large piece of land in the suburbs of the city to manage farming. Skilled craftsmen in water conservancy construction, this immediately attracted many people to respond, ran to the factory or in front of Gu's mansion to recommend themselves, copied down their names and addresses, and asked them to go home and wait for news.

Bai Kou didn't ask about the follow-up specific matters, and entrusted Princess Cheng to handle them. The main reason was that Gu Yun had no one under his command. If he wanted to use the Ou family, he had to go through Gu Hui and Aunt Rong. It was not as easy as Ning Peilan presided over everything. What's more, the Ning family also has their own convenience when acting as an imperial merchant. Bai Kou still focuses on the inner house and workshop, and if she is asked to take care of the suburban farms, she will really get sick.

At first, the palace chief was worried that his pregnant wife would not be able to bear it, but if Ning Peilan didn't stand up, she would be useless, and she couldn't push the matter to Shi Tianmin. That's not a camp. The princess mainly did it quietly. What's the matter, who among them knows.

There was a secret observation from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the sage knew every move of this group of people. Knowing that they urgently needed skilled craftsmen who were good at water conservancy, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry came to the door, solved their big problem, and let the common people understand Gu Yun. With the support of the imperial court, many businessmen came to seek cooperation.

With such a big fanfare to do something, the five villages surrounded by that piece of wasteland naturally got the news. After all, outsiders walked around outside the village every day to survey the terrain, topography, water, soil and hydrology. Naturally, he is worried and does not know what will happen to his village in the future.

The people first deliberately left these five villages aside, and just worked on their water conservancy and civil engineering plans, and the construction materials were transported to the designated places by boats and piled up.

The second wife only found out about this after receiving letters from relatives and friends. Although she was annoyed that her son would not say anything and let go of such an opportunity to make money, but thinking that she did not have enough money to support her, she had to give up with great heartache.

After entering October, the large wasteland in the outskirts of Beijing was progressing smoothly. The civil works along the east and west banks began to start one after another. There was no shortage of money and no shortage of people. Every day was a new scene.

On the day of Lidong, the sales of glycerin in the cooperative stores in Beijing were very hot. Housewives bought two bottles of two bottles at a time. There were snap buttons next to them, but they had to spend more money to buy glycerin and get free gifts. Some In order to save enough to make buttons for a piece of clothing, a man bought a pile of glycerin.

At this time, Bai Kou's attention has shifted to Dongshou. This year's preparations have been made early, and the glycerin used as a gift on Dongshou is also ready. There is no longer a label for a trial product, and the bottle is also bigger. Doubling, the bottles that were given to the rich and powerful women before were all small bottles. If they are used to remove makeup every day, they will almost have to be restocked.

The imperial court issued an official document announcing the specific date of this year’s winter hunting, but this year there will be no public cooking competitions. No one wants to compete with Bai Kou. There are too many people who support her, and others can’t compare, but the cooks of various families are willing to entertain themselves Feel free to enjoy yourself.

Hearing that there will be no more competitions this year, Bai Kou breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to have a normal sleep time, she was really exhausted in those few days last year.

The palace chief and his wife also prepared the boats, one to pull people and the other to pull luggage. The big and small luggage that everyone wanted to take was sent to the boat early and locked up. Going up, this year, the big and small masters are really traveling lightly, without having to carry heavy luggage.

Ning Peilan asked for leave because of her pregnancy, but Gong Zhangji had to go, so Ning Peilan decided to take this opportunity to go back to her mother's house for a few days, which was also convenient for her to follow up on various things on the farm site more closely.

After the personnel arrangements were made, the departure day for the winter hunting arrived. The young people who acted alone set off first by boat according to the old practice, and set up their small camps.

Gong Changji still hangs out with Gu Yun and his group of unmarried people. Anyway, he doesn't have a wife, so being single is appropriate, and this year, an extra oven was built in the temporary kitchen, so Bai Kou made all kinds of barbecue dishes, She even stuffed a chicken in the belly of a whole goose, and a quail stuffed in the belly of the chicken, and they were still roasted in the oven until they were crispy inside and out. The young masters from other camps all ran here to eat and drink.

After the civil and military officials arrived at the big camp with Tianzi Luanjia, the prince was responsible for patrolling the small camps to ensure that everyone was settled down. When he reached Gu Yun's small camp, he walked into the big restaurant unceremoniously. It was full of people, all the elders and female relatives. While their camp was still being arranged, they came here to eat something warm first.

After the monarch and his subjects greeted each other, the crown prince was not polite to Gu Yun, he ate a big bowl of fish ball thick noodles, dispelled the cold air all over his body, and continued to inspect the rest of the small camp with full of energy.

Not long after, two young eunuchs suddenly came from the imperial kitchen, carrying a food box, and scooped a large pot of freshly cooked fish balls from the kitchen pot, and Bai Kou also sent a few jars to go with the noodles side dishes.

Everyone in the dining room warmed up after eating one after another, and when they were about to go back to their tents to rest, another eunuch came, saying that he was serving in the imperial camp, and politely asked Bai Kou how she made the three sets of geese, and prepared time how long.

Bai Kou felt that the sage was very greedy in the palace, and he started thinking about what to eat just after taking a break in the tent.

Naturally, this kind of disrespectful slander cannot be said clearly, so Bai Kou also respectfully replied that this big dish had to be prepared as soon as the ingredients were delivered early in the morning, and it was eaten at night.

The little lady left politely after listening, and Bai Kou turned around and hurriedly prepared the seasonings to be used. She was sure that she would have to cook this dish early tomorrow morning.

Everyone in the restaurant couldn't help laughing after watching these two fun events. At the same time, it also aroused their curiosity about these three sets of geese. After listening to Gu Yun and the others saying that they were delicious, who wouldn't be curious? Try it.

In the kitchen, Bai Kou heard everyone talking and laughing in the restaurant, and suddenly became happy. If she was asked to make three sets of geese every day, then winter hunting this year would be really easy.
