delicious little cook

Chapter 73 Matchmakers Are Important

The honey sauce grilled steak is the third round of this afternoon's trial. The oven does not have precise temperature control equipment, and the timing is not accurate, so the first two rounds of grilling are a bit unsatisfactory. A little bit was distributed to the girls to eat. Fortunately, under Bai Kou's nervous gaze, the last round was finally done.

The work of putting the ribs on the plate was left to the girls. Bai Kou picked up the paper and charcoal sticks from the shelf, and quickly wrote down the experience of this dish. The heat, time, and marinating were all written down on the paper in detail. for reference next time.

In the hall of the main room, the two brothers finished off half a plate of grilled ribs in the blink of an eye. Taking advantage of this unsatisfactory persuasion, the sixth young master ate another two taels of noodles with fried sauce and a piece of oil cake, and the third young master ate the remaining eight. On both sides, hiccupping and watching the pancakes, they couldn't put their mouths down, and rewarded the two girls next to the sixth young master.

Bai Kou made a total of one catty of noodles with fried sauce, served them in five bowls, and asked the two brothers to share among themselves. By the way, they continued to test how big the third young master's appetite was.

When the sixth young master heard that there was pan-fried duck breast for dinner, he groaned to his brother, Gu Yun immediately surrendered with both hands, and welcomed him to come over for dinner at night, but asked him to explain to the old grandmother why he didn't want to eat with her again.

After eating and drinking, Gu Chen went back to Jicheng Hall to rest and study his homework first. His girls shared the pancakes they brought back with other girls. Unexpectedly, the pancakes were as delicious when they were cold, and you could eat meat in every bite. filling.

The eldest lady heard the news relayed by Pang's mother, and learned that the eldest son actually ate Baliang noodles with fried sauce. Apart from being speechless and afraid that his son would support him, she was somewhat helpless and angry.

"Bai Kou has only been to Wenling Courtyard for a few days, brother Yun's appetite has increased, and he has eaten a lot of meat. My poor son, we always thought that he was too picky about food. Could it be that he was always hungry before?" Mrs. Suddenly, I feel distressed, and I blame myself for being too careless.

"Ma'am, it is extremely lucky to be able to buy Bai Kou in the house. I believe she will take good care of the young master."

"After finishing these important tasks at home, we will free up time to tidy up the east kitchen, and let all those whose cooking skills stagnate be let out, as a thank you for their hard work over the years."

Mama Pang kept it silently in her heart, and copied it in one of her own notebooks when she was free, so that she would not remember it in a few months. After all, she was already over forty and a half, and her memory was no longer like that of a young man. as good as ever.

In the evening, for dinner at Wenling Courtyard, the pan-fried duck breast was well received by the two brothers. There was no oil in the pot, and the duck meat was directly put into the pot. Slowly fry the fat from the duck skin with a small fire. The ready-made duck fat is fried so that it is not greasy in the mouth, and the duck skin is fried crispy, so the third young master is not so picky, so he ate it directly.

The two-color petal steamed dumplings as a staple food made the sixth young master not even want the rice. He ate a plate by himself, and even his brother was scared, for fear that he would burst his stomach.

The Sixth Young Master rubbed his stomach with a happy face, washed his hands and got off the table. The two brothers had tea and rested for a while, and went out to say good night to the elders as usual.

When Gu Yun came back after turning around, he saw the iced black tea that had been prepared and a plate of salty sesame long cakes that he ate yesterday in the study room. Gu Yun picked one up and ate it while wandering around in front of the bookshelf. He took a book and sat down, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Over there in the small kitchen, everyone is busy eating barbecue and eating leftover vegetables from dinner.

The news of Fangliang was released yesterday, and now Xiaoqian and Xiaojing are blushing under the teasing of everyone, and they can hardly stay any longer.

Naturally, what everyone talked about most was their marriage, and what kind of marriage to choose.

Listening to the meaning of the young master's words, it seems that he is in charge of everything, but when the pampered young master understood this, who knows if he is reliable or not, the girls are just joking, and they are really uneasy.

Bai Kou calmly sprinkled spices on a few slices of shiitake mushrooms, and listened to all kinds of nonsense from the girls, but suddenly had an inspiration.

"If Xiaoqian and Xiaojing only want to marry a family with enough food and clothing to be well-to-do, there is a ready-made helper who can be asked to take care of them."

"Who is who?" Everyone gathered around curiously.

"Did you forget? Uncle Yan, the new steward of the kitchen, he used to be the shopkeeper for many years, and was invited back by the old man again when he was old enough to retire. He is not a servant of the mansion. The point is that he has enough contacts."

"Ah!" The girls screamed excitedly, and the faces of Xiaoqian and Xiaojing became even more red.

"However, wouldn't it be a bad idea to ask Uncle Yan for help rashly? The main reason is that we don't know what the young master is planning? It's just to release the news now." Aunt Su calmly poured a basin of cold water on everyone.

This immediately extinguished the fire of enthusiasm that had just risen.

"What does the third young master think? Just ask him directly. What's the use of guessing here." Bai Kou put the roasted shiitake mushrooms on the plate, and took a piece to eat.

"How can you ask this out loud, how embarrassing you are." Xiaoqian and Xiaojing stamped their feet coquettishly while holding their hot faces.

"Tomorrow, when the third young master comes home from school, take advantage of the opportunity to take a shower and change clothes, and ask sister Meilun or Meihuan to ask him. This is the best time of the day to tell him about this, otherwise wait for the sixth young master to come." If he doesn't say it, he will go out for a walk at night and come back to read again, so there is no chance to mention this matter again."

The girls thought it was indeed the case, nodded again and again, and it was decided.

Early the next morning, the maids who got up early to work met each other, Meilun Meihuan learned that they were asked to ask the young master about the details of the girls' marriage, she couldn't help blushing with embarrassment, and went into the room to wait for the young master to wash up in the morning His face didn't fade.

Time was tight in the morning, although Gu Yun could see that the girls were weird, but he didn't have time to ask them carefully, so he finished his daily homework step by step, and went out to school after breakfast.

In the morning, everyone was busy with their own work. Bai Kou came back from training under Aunt Wu. After a short rest, he rushed to the East Kitchen. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere there was another kind of tension. The menu delivered yesterday, Mr. The Taijun sent someone to explain that he was going to try the dishes at noon the next day, and made a table exactly the same, and the old Taijun and his wife wanted to try it together.

The menu was put together by a group of cooks and cooks, but Wen Gushan is the only one who will try the dishes tomorrow, and the others will continue to cook lunch for the ladies and aunts.

Lu Doudou chatted with Bai Kou and asked about the vegetarian banquet. Bai Kou replied that the old lady hadn't made a final decision, and Mengmei heard it again, and announced it loudly, mocking Bai Kou for presenting the menu in vain. Didn't even get a chance to try it.

Others laughed in agreement a few times and then fell silent. Bai Kou didn't even bother to talk to her, the more she talked to such a bitch, the more she got excited.
