delicious little cook

Chapter 72
The atmosphere in the east kitchen was dignified, and everyone was holding their breath and working carefully, but when they saw Bai Kou walking into the kitchen courtyard, everyone was excited again.

"Bai Kou is here! Bai Kou is here!"

"Bai Kou, Bai Kou, I heard that you are running an errand for the old lady, right?"

"Did the old matriarch decide that you alone should write the list of vegetarian feasts?"

"Bai Kou Bai Kou, did the old matriarch say who will be in charge after the menu is finalized?"

"You don't even need to ask!? The menu written by Bai Kou is naturally in charge of her!"

"Bai Kou, good girl, you will definitely be too busy managing a table by yourself, so ask my sister to help me then."

"Yes, yes, Bai Kou, we are very happy, you must call us."

"We have worked together for so long, you know what we are capable of, and we will never hold you back."

The second-class chefs who talked non-stop around Bai Kou, and the third-class chefs couldn't squeeze in, so they could only watch enviously from the side, hoping to have a chance to talk to Bai Kou later.

"The errands that the master ordered, of course I did my best. Now I just handed in the menu. I have to wait for the master to decide whether to use it or not. Maybe all of them will be cancelled. After all, I am just a new cook, and my strength is far inferior to that of the kitchen manager and stewards." Bai Kou said politely with a smile.

"That's right, I really didn't realize that there is a lady from a scholar's family hidden in our East Kitchen, who can read and write menus by hand." Mengmei's mocking voice came from behind the wall, "It's a pity, Miss is in trouble. , and now she’s just a slave.”

The human wall spread out slightly, intentionally or unintentionally making Bai Kou and Mengmei face to face with a few steps away.

Bai Kou didn't care about Mengmei's cynicism at all, and only replied lightly.

"What's the matter with you?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"That's right, Bai Kou's background is really nothing to do with Mengmei."

"They are all sold as slaves, so don't pretend to be nobler than others."

"Bai Kou can be reused by the master, isn't it because she knows that she can read and write?"

"Hahahaha, you can't even write your own name, and you're so blind that you want to grab other people's status all day long."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, now you understand that you have to be qualified to be jealous."

"How Miss Qianjin became a servant is of course none of my business, I just can't bear it. Do you want to call you Miss Bai every day for the sake of working together?" Mengmei stiffened her neck and refused. If you are willing to admit defeat, you must save face.

"Call me Miss Bai? Did I promise to take you in as a slave?" Bai Kou shot back with a smile.

The crowd laughed even louder, even the first-class cooks couldn't hold back, and laughed wildly together without shame.

Amidst the laughter, the door of the tea room opened silently, Zeng Zhu walked out first, and dragged Bai Kou away, leaving her to stay with the third-class cooks.

Seeing that the stewards came out, they knew that they were going to work, and everyone stood in line according to their status and rank, and each received their own errands.

Wen Gushan was the only one left in the tea room. He stood by the door holding a long cigarette stick, looking at Bai Kou among the crowd in the courtyard with a sullen expression, until she walked into the kitchen of the red case, he bit the cigarette holder and took a deep breath. Take a sip.

When I went to submit the menu to the old matriarch in the morning, the old matriarch scolded him for being too slow and delaying the errand, but in turn he praised Bai Kou again and again. That little girl really underestimated her.

While Wen Gushan was angry, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, why did he miss this girl at the beginning? Compared with this girl, Mengmei, that idiot, except for her face and ability on the bed, she has nothing to do with cooking skills. It's just useless.

After lunch, Bai Kou and Lu Doudou went to her room for a lunch break. After listening to her explain the details of last night, there was nothing unexpected. Everyone had a dish, and everyone tasted each other, and then selected the best ones to form a menu. It was a very fair and just public competition, the first-class chef was the most selected, and among the newcomers, only the dishes of the male chef Shi Ping were selected.

If you didn't choose it, you didn't choose it. Anyway, Lu Doudou doesn't care. For her, today's gossip is the most worthy of attention.

"Bai Kou, I know you are capable! That Mengmei should be pissed off! She always thought she was so good, but last night that Shi Ping who came out of the same workshop as you slapped her hard."

"Do you still remember the ranking order of the rookie competition? Shi Ping is behind Mengmei. If Wen Gushan hadn't helped cheat, Shi Ping would probably be the first rookie."

"Mengmei is still very unconvinced, and keeps muttering that she missed it for a while."

"Let her fool herself, she's an annoying fly to me now."

"Stupid and annoying fly that can't be shaken off. If only I could get her out of the kitchen."

"No, she and Wen Gushan are tied together, and she will get rid of it when she walks Wengushan alone, so they have to love each other forever."

"Well, I'll just say whatever I want."

"Don't quarrel with her, just use her as a clown to entertain everyone. Mengmei's brain will get into trouble sooner or later, and when she gets Wen Gushan involved, the two of you will get out together."

"Okay, listen to you."

The two chattered for a while, then slowly dozed off and fell asleep with their heads tilted.

After taking a lunch break, Bai Kou poured half a bucket of water and wiped his face with a handkerchief. On the way to Wenling Courtyard, he turned to the ice cellar and took the ribs back.

Before making the snacks, the girls lighted the oven first, and when the furnace was hot, they put the ribs in and roasted. They promised the third young master some days to try the honey grilled steaks, and the young master's acceptance of sweetness It is only used for seasoning in dishes. To be cautious, Bai Kou mixed a little cold boiled water with honey.

When Gu Yun walked in from the courtyard door, the ribs were being brushed with honey sauce and turned over in the oven room, and the aroma wafted out. Gu Yun couldn't walk all of a sudden, turned a corner, and went straight to the oven room. .

"Smells good! What are you doing?"

"I promise you the grilled steak with honey sauce, third young master."

"Are you ready?"

"It's almost done. After brushing the honey sauce, bake it for a while and it's ready to serve."

Gu Yun sniffed, he could smell the high-quality rice wine he gave in it, turned around happily, and casually called a girl to Ji Chengtang to urge Master Six to hurry up, if he procrastinated, the delicious pork ribs Don't leave it to him.

The girls laughed happily, Xiaojing lifted her skirt and ran out.

When Xiaojing arrived at Jicheng Hall, the Sixth Young Master had just changed his clothes. He was squatting in the ear room of his wife's daily life director, acting like a baby with his mother, drinking herbal tea, enjoying the coolness brought by the ice basin, listening to Bai Kou After making honey sauce grilled steak, she stood up, said hello to her mother, and ran away quickly.

Seeing the youngest son run so fast with raised eyebrows, the eldest lady secretly decided that in the future the two sons will discuss marriage, and the first choice of skill for the future daughter-in-law must be cooking, and it doesn't matter if the girl is weaker.
